Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 191 The Treasure-Hunting Gang is Flexible and Resilient!

"Who dares to cause trouble in our camp!"

Just then, a group of treasure hunters suddenly shouted.

As the treasure hunters shouted, a dozen people suddenly appeared and surrounded the camp.

Huiyuan showed no mercy, attacking anyone who rushed at him, leaving the treasure-stealing gang bruised and battered.

Realizing they couldn't afford to offend them, the treasure-hunting gang proved to be quite flexible and fled in other directions.

Just then, the fleeing treasure hunters seemed to see something, were startled, and ran even faster.

A few seconds later, a squad of well-equipped Fool soldiers surrounded them, their menacing aura palpable.

Seeing the elemental weapons in the hands of the Fatui, Huiyuan became even more impolite and charged forward before the other party could make a move.

Several metallic clanging sounds rang out as the Fools, their faces bruised and swollen, fled in the direction the treasure-stealing group had gone.

Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Aberdo began to think and analyze the situation.

"The Fools? They chose to attack us from the treasure-hunting group's camp... Could it be that they followed us?"

"But why are you following us?"

Paimon also started thinking about it.

Three seconds later, Paimon looked at Ying warily and said, "Ah! Could it be that you've done something behind my back?"

Seeing that Paimon had become suspicious of Luminous, Abedo gave a smug look and also glanced at Luminous.

Have you done something wrong?

Perhaps it was out of revenge for Ying's earlier suspicion that he was a thief that Abedo deliberately pressed her with these questions.

Perhaps it was because he finally had the chance to joke around with his good friends like an ordinary person, and Abedo, who had lived in the mountains for a long time, wanted to experience this feeling.

He revealed a very intriguing smile, his eyes filled with disdain, and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, hinting at a touch of cunning.

Seeing Abedo's expression, Ying immediately realized that he was imitating her. She had the same expression when she questioned Abedo and teased Paimon earlier, after bringing Lingling out of the room.

Realizing this, Ying immediately retorted, "How could that be!"

Seeing that Ying had denied it, Paimon looked at Huiyuan.

Upon seeing this, Huiyuan quickly shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

Paimon was annoyed by this answer.

Why on earth?

Just then, Aberdo offered his own guess.

"I suspect the Fools are also looking for this sword."

Paimon scratched his head, puzzled. "Huh? But you hid this sword so well, how did the Fools know it existed?"

"Perhaps they saw you fighting in the snowy mountains. If the Fools have good eyesight, they will notice the uniqueness of this sword."

"Why do the Fools want everything?!"

Seeing Paimon's sarcastic remark, Abedo countered, "It's not about wanting everything. You should already know that the Fools are collecting things related to the gods. Durin is the enemy of the wind god and possesses considerable power. Calling it 'an existence comparable to a god' or 'an existence related to the gods' wouldn't be an exaggeration."

Ying nodded, suddenly realizing what was going on.

"No wonder this sword was targeted by the Fools."

Although the Ice Queen's goal is the Heart of God, she conveys this goal to the Executor, who then relays it to his subordinates to investigate related matters.

Through layers of relaying, the order unknowingly transformed into an investigation into everything related to God. Of course, it's also possible that the executor, when relaying the order, was too lazy to describe it in detail and simply planned to use sheer numbers to gather all the intelligence.

Having figured out why he was being targeted by the Fools, Abelard continued to share his new intelligence.

"I recently came here to sketch and made a new discovery. There is a rather special place ahead of here. Its ley lines flow differently from other places. The monsters in the surrounding area are attracted to it and influenced by it. Over time, their physical abilities will be stronger than their peers."

Upon hearing this information, Paimon was not afraid; instead, he became excited.

"Such a good thing? We're supposed to help this sword grow, right? Since we're already here, why not give it a try!"

What kind of talk is that? You think you've been using 2.5 kg dumbbells too much and now you want to increase the weight to 3 kg?

As Huiyuan thought this to himself, Abedo seemed to hear his thoughts and added, "That's right. It also allows us to observe the effects of different enemies on this sword."

After saying that, Aberdo took the initiative to lead the way, bringing everyone to this special place.

After surveying the surroundings, I discovered a place where Hilichurls were gathered.

Silently cheering for Ying, it wasn't long before the group of Hilichurls were knocked to the ground.

Paimon looked at the demonic sword in Ying's hand, which seemed to have changed again, and asked worriedly, "Do you feel anything?"

"The power in the sword has increased."

Abelardo took the sword and examined it. Before long, he offered a conjecture.

"After absorbing power from its enemies, this sword will resonate with the remains of Dulin hidden deep within this snow mountain. If this hypothesis is correct, then the monsters on this snow mountain may also resonate with the remains of Dulin."

"Why does it resonate with the remains of a dragon?"

After Ying posed this question, Abedo continued to speculate, "It's probably related to the source of the monsters' power in this area. Dulin wasn't an ordinary monster. Even now, after its death, the entire snow mountain is still affected by its remains. The mysterious dragon power... perhaps it's some kind of curse. We still don't have enough information. To learn more, we need more data..."

Aberdo's meaning was clear: if you want to know the truth, keep taking up your sword and leveling up.

Seeing this, Paimon remarked, "I never thought listening to stories would be so physically demanding..."

Yes, it's true that you can listen to such interesting and realistic stories by simply spending a few thousand Mora to buy a book.

In Aberdo's world, you have to fight monsters on your own and actively uncover the truth of the story, which is really tiring!

Ignoring Paimon's little expression, Abedo returned the sword to Luminous and said, "I have some research to finish, so I have to split up with you. Let's meet up near the broken bridge later."

The "near the broken bridge" refers not to the wooden bridge leading to the Abedo camp, but to the broken stone bridge at the entrance to Dragonspine Snow Mountain, in the snow-covered land, where adventurers are stationed.

After confirming the meeting place, Huiyuan took Ying to explore the snow mountain.

After unfolding the map and confirming that their current location was Sleeping Dragon Valley, Huiyuan pondered for a moment and pinpointed the location of the Ice of No Form.

Upon arrival, after a violent cracking process, they shattered a large block of ice containing an unknown substance, from which a strange sphere burst forth and flew towards the snow-capped mountaintop.

She didn't pay too much attention to it, because Huiyuan knew that it was an important item for raising the Cold Sky Nail.
