Hearing Ying's words, Paimon quickly lowered his flying altitude, moved closer to Ying with a curious look on his face, and looked down with her.

"Home..."

Paimeng cried out in surprise after seeing the situation clearly, but was quickly blocked by Ying.

"Shh~."

Ying covered Paimon's mouth with one hand and put the other hand to her own mouth, making a gesture to keep quiet.

Only after seeing Paimon nodded to show that he understood did Ying let go of Paimon's mouth.

After being released, Paimon held his chest with one hand, exhaled slowly, and then spoke softly.

"There are so many Hillilks! What are they going to do?"

"I do not know either."

Ying spread her hands helplessly, then turned her gaze to Gao Muming.

"You know more about the Hillocks than we do. Do you know what's going on with the large number of Hillocks gathered down here?"

Gao Muming, who was questioned by Ying, was now staring curiously at the large number of hillbillies gathered below, somewhat confused.

"I have to say, your question touches upon my blind spot in knowledge. I have traveled all over Teyvat in all these years and have never seen such a situation. It's really rare to see such a thing."

At this time, Paimon was very optimistic and made a joke.

"Do you think these hillbillies are gathering to prepare for a dinner?"

Hearing Paimon's words, Gao Muming took out the apples he had just picked in the afternoon from his pocket and handed them to her.

"Okay, I know you're hungry, have an apple first."

Afterwards, Gao Muming looked at Ying with a serious expression.

"What should we do next? Should we go around to other anchor points or rush over and use the anchor points to quickly move before the hillbillies can react."

Ying lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. Seeing that Ying did not respond, Gao Muming continued with a serious expression.

"Excluding the possibility of spontaneous large-scale gathering of the Hillocks, the only one who can command the Hillocks to gather is the Abyss Mage of the Abyss Cult."

"While the Abyss Mage is away, we must make a choice as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we are discovered, it will be difficult for even the two of us to break out of this army of hillbillies."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Paimeng, who was originally laughing, also showed a nervous look on his face.

"We quickly rush over and use the teleportation anchor point to transfer. No matter what the Abyss Mage wants to do by gathering so many Hillilks, we must notify Jean and let the Knights of Favonius prepare early."

Ying said as she took the lead and rushed towards the teleportation anchor point.

The three of them quickly ran towards the teleportation anchor point. In an open space where a large number of Hilichurls gathered, the Hilichurl archer who was serving as a scout was the first to discover the whereabouts of Gao Muming and the other two.

The Hillichell archers shouted loudly to warn the enemy and began to load arrows into their crossbows.

After hearing the warning from the Hillilite archer, they discovered that Gao Muming and the other two Hillilites were also surrounding them.

Just when Gao Muming and the other two arrived near the teleportation anchor point, the first wave of arrows shot over. As arrows carrying various elemental lights flew across the sky, a strange beauty appeared in the sky.

"The wind is stirring!"

Following Ying's delicate cry, a tornado formed by the wind element whizzed towards the numerous arrows.

As the tornado and the arrow collided, all kinds of elements reacted in the air and continuously emitted unique light. For a moment, the cruel battlefield looked like a fireworks show.

"Hurry up and do it now!"

As Ying said this, he stuffed Paimon into Gao Muming's arms, grabbed Gao Muming's hand with one hand and placed the other hand on the teleportation anchor point, and began to communicate with the earth veins.

A familiar pulling feeling came over him, Gao Muming's eyes blurred, a white light flashed, and Gao Muming came to the Seven Days Statue on Cangfeng Highlands again.

At the teleportation anchor point of Dadaupa Valley, the smoke and dust stirred up by the violent reaction of various elements dissipated, and the hill people lost the trace of Gao Muming and the other two who were originally standing there.

The hillbillies who saw this scene thought they had successfully killed Gao Muming and the other two, so they stopped rushing towards the teleportation anchor point, gathered in groups of three or two, and returned to their previous standby state.

On Cangfeng Highlands, after confirming the successful transfer, Paimeng flew out of Gao Muming's arms and patted his chest with a lingering fear on his face.

"It was really thrilling just now. When all the arrows were flying towards me, I thought I was going to be shot into a hedgehog."

"It's really dangerous. Let's go to the Dawn Winery and reunite with Diluc and Jean, and tell them about the large-scale gathering of the Hillichels."

Seeing Ying hurriedly heading for the Dawn Winery after finishing her words, Gao Muming shrugged and looked at Paimeng who looked a little aggrieved.

"The situation is indeed somewhat urgent. How about I say a few words of comfort to you on behalf of Ying?"

"No, I don't want your comfort."

As he said that, Paimon flew out and followed closely in Ying's footsteps. Seeing this, Gao Muming smiled and followed.

The three of them came to the Chenxi Winery and entered the estate from the side door, just in time to meet Qin who entered from the main gate.

"You guys are here. How is the collection of Tevarin's tear crystals going?"

Hearing Jean's question, Paimon somehow straightened his body and answered immediately.

"The collection operation went smoothly. Today, we found another Tevalin's tear crystal."

Ying, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Paimon's look.

"Little Paimon, answer Jean's question. There's no need to be so nervous and serious."

In response to Ying's teasing, Paimeng touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"I can't help it. Captain Qin has a kind of majesty as a superior that makes me unconsciously serious."

Hearing what Paimon said, Qin quickly apologized.

"Ah~ I'm sorry."

"By the way, Captain Qin, we found something and need to report it to you."

Hearing the title from Captain Qin and seeing Ying's serious face, Qin was stunned at first, and then a solemn look appeared on his face.

"Okay, I get it, come with me."

Qin took them to a deserted place in the manor.

"Please tell me what you found."

"When we were collecting Twarin's tear crystals in Dadaupa Valley, we found a large number of hill people gathering at the entrance of Dadaupa Valley."

After hearing Ying's words, Qin, who was originally a little nervous, visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Ying. Ever since Tevarin caused the dragon disaster, the monsters have become much more active. Since there are many camps of hillbillies in Dadaupa Valley, even though they are all hillbillies with low intelligence, it has always been the focus of our Knights of Favonius' surveillance."

"In order to provide some buffer time, even now that the forces outside Mondstadt have been severely reduced, there are still trustworthy guerrilla knight teams monitoring the front of the Dadaupa Valley."
