……

outside world,

Seeing Lin Feng, who couldn't wait to enter the earth vein without saying a word,

Zhongli, who stayed where he was, couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that his friend really had many differences from ordinary people.

——What is flowing in the earth veins is not only the special energy that can drive the ruins mechanisms,

The chaotic and disordered memories are the key that ordinary creatures dare not touch.

It was not clear what Lin Feng had done before that made him so familiar with the behavior of drilling the earth veins.

Zhongli felt inexplicably relieved. He looked out over the impressive environment near the Layered Rock Abyss.

He sighed slightly and disappeared among the towering rock peaks.

To the northeast of the abyss is Guiliyuan.

Among the endless yellow weeds, countless collapsed and dilapidated stone buildings lie between the rocks.

In this area that was once prosperous but is now deserted.

Today, apart from the animals that seek shelter in the corners of the building and the crows that build nests on the tops of the stone pillars,

Today, two strangers arrived with an exploration mission.

I don't have the mood to appreciate the dilapidated beauty around me.

Ying and Paimeng traveled with difficulty through the mountains where the road conditions were extremely bad.

Recalling the warm reception from Yunjin's father yesterday when they arrived at Yunhan Club and explained their purpose,

Even if you just want to try it out at first,

But seeing his obsession with the lost history,

She had obtained the key information of the mission and planned to try her best.

Let’s see if we can find a way to record more about the other party’s family during this exploration.

".Speaking of which, Ying, the mission you accepted this time seems to be to defeat a ruins guard in the Guiliyuan area and bring back its Chaos Furnace Core, right?"

"——Is it really okay to take on such a difficult mission right from the start?

If you are a Hilichurl, Paimon can cheer you on.

But the ruins guard. Sorry, Paimon can only hide."

Thinking of the monster's indestructible shell and huge body,

Even Paimeng, who had vowed to fight alongside Ying before coming, began to back down for a moment.

Ying: “.” So even if they are from the Hillilchir tribe, you can only cheer them on?

Ying had already anticipated the reliability of her companions and had never expected them to be able to help her.

He shook his head slightly and explained:

".Because the area we are heading to is very remote even in Guiliyuan,

And recently, the number of Hilichurls in Liyue has been decreasing for some reason.

It seemed as if someone saw them being guided by something and they disappeared in a certain direction one after another.

The common ground projection monsters have no research value, so there are no related tasks."

After a brief pause,

Thinking of the elemental power he had acquired a few days ago and the monster information he had found in the void,

Ying, who originally wanted to test how much strength he had left, continued:

"Don't worry, Paimon. This commission itself is not very dangerous."

"This commission to investigate the ruins guard,

Not only is the location very close to the area we are going to, but the pay is also quite good.

Moreover, we only need to activate the Ruins Guard at the edge of the enemy's activity area, so it is actually very easy to escape."

When Ying searched for information before, she found that the Xumi Teachings Institute was encouraged by the current policies of the gods.

There is a fairly complete research report on the series of ruins mechanisms.

Not only that, it seems that within the school called Miaolun School, there is a group of scholars who specialize in various monsters of the ruins series.

They made a popular science comic about how to avoid these monsters and placed it in the void.

Make sure that most people can understand it easily. Ying also got the information about monster weaknesses and triggering methods from there.

Moreover, I heard that there seems to be an exhibition area for various self-regulatory organizations there.

When I go to Xumi later, I'll take Paimon with me to take a look.

".But, we haven't had time to buy the right weapons yet, right?"

"Although you now have elemental power, ordinary weapons cannot perfectly transmit such power.

It will still be a drag in the battle."

Paimon had no memory of Ying buying weapons.

For a moment, I even thought that it might be because I ate too much.

So in order to save money, Ying chose to fight with bare hands.

Just when she was about to reflect on herself and eat less,

But I saw the blonde girl in front of me smiling slightly.

I don't know where he took out a short knife that was completely green and looked like it was made of plant branches.

"——It doesn't matter. When I successfully joined the Ordinance House,

The scholar Lin Feng who saved us also gave us a weapon as a personal gift the next day.

When I got it, Paimon, were you still sleeping? "

After a brief pause, thinking of the letter that came with the weapon, Ying continued with some confusion:

".The letter said that this short sword was the best sword in the village and was a gift from a group of little guys.

Now give it to me, hoping that I can become their friend after receiving it. "

——Although Ying didn't know why this weapon called the 'log sword' was called the best 'sword' in the village,

I don't know what kind of village the other party mentioned.

But she still remembered this favor.

——After all, if I didn't have this weapon,

Then she would most likely have to choose the cheapest and easiest to replace and maintain edgeless sword as her weapon.

"Huh, that's good, that's good. I thought Paimon would have to live frugally in the future.

From five bowls of boiled fish per meal to four bowls."

".Is there really any difference?"

Ying was a little too tired to complain.

Talking while walking,

After a while, I saw a pillar leaning against the ruins ahead.

When guarding the ruins that were covered in rust and seemed to be completely unable to move,

Ying and Paimeng both lowered their voices tacitly and carefully retreated in the direction they came from.

After roughly determining that you have left the opponent's activity range,

Paimon looked at Ying beside him and reminded him:

"The body hardness of the Ruins Guard is very high.

Ying, you must change your fighting habits from when we were drifting on the island together.

——It would be better to use more elemental power and attack as I taught you before."

"it is good."

Under Paimon's gaze, Ying nodded, as if she had completely accepted the other party's suggestion.

"——Then Paimon, you should hide first. I want to activate this Ruins Guardian at the edge of the enemy's activity area.

If the situation is not right, we can just evacuate and reunite at the previously agreed location.”

"."

".Ying, don't worry, I will definitely cheer for you in my heart."

Ying's words had just fallen.

Without any hesitation at all,

Paimon nodded, being quite self-aware.

After turning back halfway through the flight and leaving this word of "encouragement",

He simply used hiding skills that even Ying herself was amazed at, and disappeared from her sight.

Where did she develop this hiding skill? Is this also her talent?

shook his head,

Forget about this partner of mine who is apparently "multi-talented" but also subtle and completely useless.

Ying tried to mobilize the surrounding rock elemental power,

Next to the relic guard, a huge golden rock formed.

"boom--"

Accompanied by a loud explosion,

The ruins guard in the distance suddenly lit up his yellow eyes.

at the same time,

Not far away, in a hollow formed by a mountain depression,

Having perfectly ensured his own safety, Paimon patted his chest with his little hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked with great satisfaction at Ying who was using elemental power to activate the ruins guard.

".Huh, luckily Ying finally remembered that she still has elemental power.

If you keep forgetting to use it like you did during the previous practice, it will be troublesome."

In addition to his work as a guide, Paimon also works part-time as an elemental force teacher.

He was deeply aware that this seemingly weak blond girl in front of him had some strange bad habits.

——No matter what kind of enemy we face,

As long as he could choose close combat, he would always subconsciously pick up the sword and chop, with no awareness of using elemental power at all.

Therefore, after seeing Ying actually choose elemental power to start with,

Paimeng even felt a rare sense of emotion.

“Okay, let me see what kind of fighting style Ying will choose under the guidance of Teacher Paimon!

It will definitely be a textbook use of elemental power."

I haven't finished speaking yet,

Paimon carefully looked out and saw a man holding up a short knife and slashing at the ruins guard.

A blonde girl who looks like a 'melee master'.

"."

"——Hey, we fought like this before we had elemental power, and we still fight like this after we have elemental power.

Then what on earth are you going to do with the elemental power, Ying?!"
