Man in Xumi: I can copy the authority of the seven gods

Page 188

——The edgeless sword that I picked up shortly after waking up.

He used all his strength to cut the fishing line as quickly as possible.

"stretch!"

The next moment, accompanied by a crisp breaking sound,

The line from her own fishing rod was finally cut.

But before Ying could breathe a sigh of relief, she began to worry about how to swim back.

But she found herself still being dragged forward.

!!!

Didn't the fishing line break? Why?

"."

No, why is there a fishing line? !

Am I not the only one fishing? Where did this come from?!

Ying found herself entangled in two fishing lines.

In the midst of silence, I also thought of the only possibility for the current situation:

——That is, my fishing line got tangled with that of another fisherman for some reason.

She was obviously inferior in strength, and was eventually taken away by the other party as a "fish".

"what--"

However, before she could think about whether she should be taken away like this and meet another person with whom she could communicate,

Or continue to use the edgeless sword to cut the opponent's fishing line,

A huge force suddenly came from the front without her expecting it, and even the weapon in her hand was shaken out of her hand.

With a cry of surprise, Ying was dragged forward.

Without time to feel sorry for the edgeless sword that fell into the deep sea, it was dragged forward all the way.

Finally, it was pulled out of the water after just half a minute.

And when I finally saw the sunlight coming from the ocean,

In addition to her frustration about this small probability of an unexpected situation, and her anxiety and anticipation of finally being able to see other people,

Before losing consciousness due to exhaustion,

I also thought of one thing with some relief:

Fortunately, the other party's fishing line was very long, and when Paimon and I were struggling, we got tangled up in circles.

Otherwise, if you drag it with such force,

It might cut your skin and attract nearby carnivorous fish. It would be troublesome if you were attacked while you are unable to resist.

".Ahem, young lady and this... follower beside you?, are you all right?"

".Sorry, let me help you with the treatment a little bit."

"."

After a calm voice that sounded strangely intimate came,

Because she had used up too much energy struggling underwater, Ying was still a little confused.

With a warm touch on the forehead,

I felt a force full of life coming from the other party.

Not only did it greatly alleviate the discomfort caused by falling into the water, but even the fatigue caused by the monotonous food during this period was also eliminated. "."

"Ying, that's great, you finally woke up."

"Hey, where is this place?"

When I opened my eyes, I saw a white fur ball stuck to my face.

He coughed subconsciously, but found that not much sea water seemed to have entered his mouth.

With some doubt, he asked Paimon, who looked worried, about the current situation.

"Here it is, yes.

When I was rescued just now, I found you were still sleeping next to me. I was so nervous.

I even forgot to ask the scholar next to us where this place is. "

Paimon wanted to answer but just as he opened his mouth, he realized that he was not sure where this place was.

He could only touch his head with his left hand and responded somewhat awkwardly.

"scholar?"

Keenly aware of a very specific noun from Paimeng's mouth, Ying said these two words with some confusion.

"——Let me explain."

Before Paimon could answer, the voice that he had vaguely heard once before in a coma came from his left hand.

I looked up along the hand that had been removed from my forehead.

Ying spotted the figure of a young man wearing an exquisite white and green robe, with black hair and black eyes.

After realizing that the person who had slightly outperformed him in the fishing contest and had just treated him was probably him,

Ying heard the scholar Paimeng mentioned continue to speak:

"This is a small island on the border of Liyue and Mondstadt.

Strictly speaking, it is still within the scope of Liyue."

"I come from the Xumi scholar institution "Teaching House", and I am currently serving in some positions there.

I recently came to Liyue to help a friend here deal with some troubles.

Miss, just call me Lin Feng like my friends."

After Lin Feng saw Ying wake up,

I completed my self-introduction in a rigorous manner in a way that was basically consistent with the actual situation.

After noticing that the little yellow-haired boy in front of him understood what he was saying,

He went on to explain:

"——I'm sorry that I accidentally caught your hook when I came to the edge of this explorable area to collect samples, and dragged you here as the fish on the hook."

"As an apology,

I hope you can come back to Liyue Harbor with me on the return journey.

I'd like to give you two a chance to have a simple meal. What do you think? "

"--meal!"

“Woo, that’s great!

Finally, we have something to eat besides fish and raspberries. How about we go back now?"

Without waiting for Ying to reply,

Paimon, who had been floating nearby, asked her eagerly, even drooling.

"Ugh"

Ying sighed.

Looking at this "reliable tour guide" next to me whose face is almost covered with the word "gluttony", I feel a little tired for a moment.

Come back to your senses,

Besides the relief of finally being able to leave here and eat normal food,

She had always felt that something was wrong with her sailing route.

I also felt something was wrong with a word Lin Feng said:

".The edge of the explorable area? What is that?"

"——In short, this area of the sea is about to go beyond the scope of human exploration.

If you go further out, you will reach the dark outer sea where the probability of survival is close to zero and filled with countless monsters and dangers.

If you are not like me, you come here specifically to find something that interests you.

Normally, no one would be willing to approach this area."

"."

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I didn't know this place would be so dangerous."

Paimon, who was originally dreaming of delicious food,

After noticing that Ying beside him seemed to be emitting an ominous black aura,

Even though she was always accustomed to being tough, she chose to apologize honestly at this moment.

"Never mind, I knew it"

Ying, who had doubted the direction sense of this golden tour guide from the very beginning,

After the researcher in front of me told me the real results, I felt a sense of relief for a moment, which was not unexpected.

——Perhaps this is the feeling of your heart, which has been hanging in the balance for a long time, finally dying.

"Hmm. The closer you get to the edge of the known area, the weaker the rules become, and the more easily your magnetic field and sense of direction become confused."

Lin Feng explained casually,

After feeling the urge to leave this area coming from the wilderness survival duo next to me,

He did not delay any longer, but directly suggested:

"——I see that both of you are not in good condition. It's probably because you haven't been able to get a good diet and rest recently.

It just so happens that I have almost achieved the purpose of coming here, why don't you return with me now?"

Lin Feng, who drew cards for the first time when he arrived at the continent of Teyvat and took away a five-star operator with his own strength, really had no intention of staying here any longer.

After creating a wooden boat by mobilizing the power of the grassland in a way that was not much stronger than that of an ordinary person,

He extended an invitation to Ying and Paimon in front of him.

"Thank you very much. I will definitely find other ways to make up for the boat fare and treatment expenses after I return."

I felt that the problem this time was not entirely with the other party, but simply that I was unable to pull higher than the scholar in front of me when I was fishing.

Ying didn't think that the scholar in front of her, who had provided a lot of information and was willing to take them back, was justified in doing everything for her.

She even thought that the other party came to such a far place to conduct research, but was willing to return early.

Maybe it was all because of me and Paimon.

"."

I vaguely sensed the thoughts of the little yellow-haired boy in front of me.

Lin Feng, who had some understanding of her character from the plot, was not surprised for a moment why travelers were welcomed wherever they went.

——Who wouldn’t like a friend who is capable, enthusiastic, and always thinks from other people’s perspectives?

I smiled but didn't give any positive response.

Lin Feng and Paimeng, who were already standing on the boat, also waved to the traveler who seemed to be still thinking about something.

"."

".Excuse me, would you like to have the fishing rod next to it?

I would buy it with something else when I get back.”

Under Lin Feng's gaze, every time he took a few steps forward, he would look back reluctantly.
