At dawn, Ying, Gao Muming and Paimon were rowing a small boat close to a beach with a waterfall near the desolate sea of ​​Ming Shen Island.

Just as the boat docked at the beach, several figures walked out from behind the waterfall and approached the boat.

"Here I am, brother. I brought the stuff."

The members of the treasure-hunting team who came out from behind the waterfall greeted us very familiarly when they came over.

After hearing what the treasure-stealing group said, Ying looked at Gao Muming with some shock.

"What's going on? Did you make any agreement with the treasure-stealing group that I'm not aware of?"

As she spoke, Ying looked Gao Muming up and down, but she didn't see that Gao Muming, who had empty hands, had anything special with him.

Gao Muming lowered his head and whispered softly into Ying's ear.

"Ying, this smuggling route was opened up by the treasure-stealing group, and most people don't know about it. They should be the kind-hearted teammates of the treasure-stealing group who had a friendly conversation with me and enthusiastically provided the route."

"Maybe he saw this small boat and thought that person was delivering something good."

Just as Gao Muming and Ying were whispering in each other's ears, the treasure-hunting group also arrived at the side of the boat.

"No, who the hell are you?"

When the leader of the treasure-stealing group saw Gao Muming and his group on the boat, he let out a loud roar and then picked up his weapons.

"Brothers, this is not a wild boy, grab your weapons. Unfortunately, no matter how you know this route, for the sake of our wealth we can't let you go easily."

As they spoke, the members of the treasure-stealing group attacked Ying and Takagi Akira.

Looking at the actions of the five treasure-hunting group members in front of him, Gao Muming curled his lips in dissatisfaction and then looked at Ying.

"It looks like there's no way to resolve this peacefully. Let me take care of these guys as part of my rehabilitation."

Without waiting for Ying to respond, Gao Muming put his hands on the edge of the boat and used the force to jump out of the cabin and kicked the treasure-hunting team member who was in the front away.

Seeing that Gao Muming had taken care of one person so quickly and efficiently, the treasure-hunting group slowed down their charge and looked at Gao Muming warily.

"Boss, you're a tough guy."

"I can see that guy doesn't have any weapons in his hands. Let's use long-range attacks."

Just as the treasure-stealing group was preparing to launch a long-range attack, a flash of light appeared, and Gao Muming summoned a spear from the space of the Eye of God.

"Damn it, this guy is the owner of the Eye of God. Brothers, this is a tough spot, let's retreat quickly!"

Watching the treasure-stealing group retreat without delay after discovering his identity as the holder of the Eye of God, Gao Muming tilted his head in confusion.

"Strange, are Inazuma's treasure-stealing group so cowardly? They don't even have the slightest idea of ​​confronting the holder of the Eye of God."

Paimon, who had been hiding when the battle broke out, also floated to Takagi Akira's side out of curiosity.

"It's really strange. The treasure-stealing groups from Mondstadt and Liyue are all very daring and reckless."

Ying also walked to Gao Muming's side.

"Perhaps it's because of the Inazuma Eye Hunting Order."

Ying spoke with some emotion.

"The holders of the Eye of God are already quite rare. At present, those who have not had their Eye of God confiscated by Inazuma are either of special status or have used force to fight against the powerful people who came to confiscate the Eye of God."

"No matter what kind of person they are, they are not easy opponents for the Treasure Stealing Group."

Gao Muming also nodded.

"Indeed, the fact that Inazuma can openly carry the Eye of God is a symbol of strength and status. It is reasonable for the treasure-stealing group to retreat directly without a head-on confrontation with me when they are not sure whether there is any benefit or not."

No longer dwelling on the reason for the treasure-stealing group's retreat, the group took a look at the surrounding environment and confirmed the way to Inazuma Castle, then hurriedly set off.

Not long after, when Takagi Akira and Ying and their group were walking along the road leading to Inazuma Castle and came to a huge fox statue not far from Konda Village, a gentle voice rang out.

"Dear travelers, could you please stop your hurried steps? I have something to ask of you."

A few people stopped and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a shrine maiden wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume and a fox mask.

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

The masked shrine maiden said this while bowing slightly to Ying.

Seeing the witch's look, Ying pointed at herself in surprise.

"I?"

"Yes, it's you."

After receiving a positive answer from the shrine maiden, Ying, who had just learned that the "lady" of the Fatui had instructed the local forces of Inazuma to interfere with her itinerary, looked at the shrine maiden with some caution.

"There are three of us in this group, why did you ask me for help alone?"

Facing Ying's questioning, the witch spoke calmly.

"I can feel the power in you. That is Lei's appreciation."

As she spoke, the witch turned and looked at the huge fox statue behind her.

"Inside this statue of the Sky Fox is a talisman. Only those who are appreciated by Thunder for their courage and friendship can take the talisman out."

Ying did not agree to the witch's request immediately, but whispered to Takagi Akira and Paimon.

"What do you think this 'Lei's' appreciation is?"

Compared to Ying, who is somewhat skeptical of the witch's motives, Paimon is very optimistic.

"Just like what he said when we met Thomas on the outlying island, many rumors about Ying have reached Inazuma. When you said that Ying was appreciated by 'Thunder', could it be that because of those rumors that reached Inazuma, Ying was appreciated by Inazuma's Thunder God, General Raiden."

Gao Muming on the side shook his head.

"I think being recognized by 'Thunder' should refer to the thunder elemental power that Ying obtained on the outlying island. After all, in Teyvat, possessing elemental power means that the person has the Eye of God, and having the Eye of God means that the person's entire wish is recognized by the gods."

"According to the witch, if you want to obtain the talisman, you will most likely need the power of lightning. Now that Inazuma is executing the Eye Hunting Order, the already rare owners of lightning power have become even rarer."

"That is to say, the witch felt the lightning element in me, so she couldn't wait to ask for my help."

Ying, who came to the conclusion together with Gao Muming and Paimon, showed an expression of understanding, and then looked at the shrine maiden who was waiting nervously for the final verdict.

"Well, I have some important things to deal with. If it doesn't take up too much time, I can help you."

"Thank you very much. Please release your lightning elemental power towards the statue of the Sky Fox."

Ying nodded, walked to the front of the Sky Fox statue, stretched out a grenade, and the power of the element continued to surge out from Ying's palm.

Following Ying's actions, an object suddenly appeared in front of the sky fox statue that was infused with thunder element.

When Ying took the talisman that suddenly appeared in her hand and prepared to hand it to the witch, the witch did not take it as Ying had imagined, but took two steps back and bowed to Ying very respectfully.

"I was right. You are the 'destined one'."
