Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

“Mmm!!! Mmm!!!”

The person on the earth escape platform that Menma had been lying on before was now Hashirama. Although he had been lying on it once before Menma, the reason why he was lying on it this time, as well as his appearance, was different...

Hashirama's mouth was blocked by a piece of cloth, and a golden binding illusion was applied to his body instead of ropes, firmly fixed there. With his mouth blocked, he couldn't speak, and could only stare with a pair of terrified eyes, struggling to make a sound while watching Menma walking towards him step by step.

"Hehe... Don't even think about running away this time..." At this moment, Menma's expression and voice were extremely creepy, not to mention the kunai he was holding in his hand.

That's right, neither of them had a suitable small knife similar to a scalpel, so when performing this kind of "operation", they could only use kunai instead. Anyway, with their physical conditions, they were not afraid of bacterial infection, so they just made do with it.

Seeing Menma's kunai getting closer and closer to his stripped arm, Hashirama became more and more terrified and couldn't help but yell again:

“Mmmmmm!!!”

But it was all in vain. In the end, Menma's kunai still stuck to his arm, and then slowly cut in one direction...

……

In fact, Menma also knew that Hashirama was just playing along with him. After all, if Hashirama really wanted to escape, he didn't believe that a piece of cloth and a golden binding illusion that didn't use much chakra could hold him in place.

Moreover, the effect of the Golden Binding Illusion was not so much to prevent him from escaping, but rather to prevent him from moving around due to pain, thus preventing Menma from accidentally cutting a bigger wound on him.

Likewise, the purpose of the cloth was only to reduce his voice as much as possible and prevent him from spitting out sweet words, and it could also be used to bite when he felt pain, thus killing three birds with one stone.

Although he could use five-sense illusions instead of anesthetics, since the goal of Menma this time was also to make Hashirama feel the same pain he just felt, why would he do that?

"Mmmmm!"

"What? You said you're ready? Fine, I'll get started right away..."

“(shaking head frantically) Ughhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

"I know the pain!"

“(spits out the cloth) F**k! Menma I’m fucking… (Menma takes the cloth back and stuffs it in his mouth again) Mmmmm… Mmmmm!!!”

A "bloody and inhumane" scraping operation began just like that... (dog head)

……

"So...how do I use it?"

Menma, who was standing in front of the Outer Path Golem, was holding a large iron plate containing Hashirama's body tissue, and Hashirama, whose hand was wrapped in thick bandages, was staring at it blankly, feeling a little numb.

"I don't know either. After all, the plot only says to put Hashirama's cells into the Outer Path Statue, but it doesn't say how to put it in..." Menma shook his head. It was only at this time that he realized that he had no idea how to do it.

"You can't let it eat these body tissues, right?"

"It shouldn't be. I remember that in the original story, the Outer Path Demon Statue seemed to have transplanted Hashirama's cells, and even had Hashirama's face grow on it. Do you think this is the correct way to 'invest'?"

"You ask me how I know how to go... Let's try it first."

So Menma took a few steps forward, picked up the kunai and began to slash at the legs of the Outer Path Demon. Since the Outer Path Demon had thick skin and flesh, ordinary kunai could not cut it open, so Menma had to use the Wind Style: Vacuum Blade to strengthen the kunai, and only then was he able to barely cut the legs of the Outer Path Demon into a series of cracks.

After doing all this, Menma took pieces of flesh cut from Hashirama's arms from the iron plate and stuffed them into the cracks. Since they had no equipment and technology to make Hashirama's cells into an injectable form, they could only use this extremely crude method.

After all the flesh and blood had been stuffed into the cracks, Menma used medical ninjutsu to heal all the cracks and make the flesh and blood composed of Hashirama's cells grow together with the body of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

Seeing that the color of the Outer Path Statue's leg had obviously turned whiter, Menma said, "This should be enough. All we have to do next is wait."

"Are we just going to sit here and wait?" Hashirama asked.

"Maybe you're the only one who wants to do this."

"Eh?"

Menma's words left Hashirama a little confused, but his next words cleared up Hashirama's confusion:

"Your arm will need some time to recover, so you should stay here and rest during this time. As for me, I need to go outside and see how the plot progresses.

Don't worry, this is my divine space after all, as long as you want to get out, I can release you at any time."

"That's fine." Hashirama said, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, has your Nine-Faced Beast recovered?"

"Soon." Menma replied, "Although I still can't summon Nandou Sage, I can feel that it has recovered about 70% to 80%. After all, this part of the chakra has been stripped away, and it will take some time to wait for it to recover, and it also needs my chakra to nourish it continuously. There is no other way.

Fortunately, this level of damage can be restored, unlike the Shiki Fuujin, which split the Nine-Tails in half at the soul level. Unless the two are combined, they cannot be restored."

At this moment, Menma looked down at Hashirama's bandaged hand, and his expression began to become playful again: "How is it? Do you feel the same way as when you performed surgery on me just now?"

"I always feel like you are deliberately taking revenge on me..."

"Be more confident and take away the 'always feeling'."

"Hey, you little bastard..."

"The task of checking the situation of the Outer Path Demon Statue and White Zetsu is now left to you. I'll take my leave first." After saying this quickly, Menma didn't give Hashirama a chance to speak again. He directly sent himself out of the Kamui Space, leaving Hashirama alone inside.

"Damn, it runs really fast." Seeing this, Hashirama could only sit back on the earth escape platform helplessly and start using wood escape to grow plants on it.

Hashirama had picked so many plants in this world before, and collected information on several kinds of trees. Now he could use Wood Release to reproduce them. Although some plants were definitely not as good as those grown naturally, such as the sugar content of sweet flowers and the moisture content of sunset fruits, who cares? Anyway, Hashirama made them just for fun, not for eating.

But at this moment, Hashirama, who was holding a bunch of grapes of the same type as those in Diluc's winery, suddenly realized a problem:

[I can’t seem to have a remote conversation with Menma while I’m in here… Then, if I want to get out, how can I let him know?!]

Thinking of this, Hashirama couldn't help but shout:

"Fuck (an elemental attribute)!!!"

……

……

……

While Menma was using "surgery" to "scrape" the skin off Hashirama's body, the group looking for Dragon's Tears had already left the Thousand Wind Temple and came to a ruin in the forest, where they defeated the monsters and obtained the second Dragon's Tears crystal.

"Successfully collected!" Paimon said happily, "It's not easy."

"Don't let your guard down." Seeing Paimon's relaxed look, Diluk immediately reminded him, "The Wind Dragon is still in danger. And... the Fatui might also make a move."

Speaking of Fatui, Jean suddenly remembered something and said to Diluk, "Diluk... I heard that Fatui recently declared you "persona non grata."

Even Qin herself did not notice the strong worry in her tone. By the way, although Qin had recovered from her previous state on the way and secretly reminded herself to focus on the current task, she still did not choose to answer Diluk's question directly at that time, but just evaded the question with a few words.

Fortunately, Diluk felt that Qin didn't seem to be ill except for the temporary flushing and fever, so he didn't ask any further questions. Otherwise, Qin wouldn't know how to continue her story.

Although... this made Kong and Paimon on the side a little anxious, but they didn't know what to do.

“Hmph, it’s an honor.” Diluk’s tone was full of sarcasm. “They never announced who the ‘popular person’ was anyway.”

"Why is the "Faints"...the delegation from the Kingdom of Winter related to Master Diluk?" Paimon asked.

"The Fatui are not only a problem for the Knights, but also a major threat to Mondstadt," Jyn explained. "And as for anything that threatens Mondstadt, Diluk..."

"That's enough, Jean."

Diluk didn't seem to want to say more about this. After all, he felt very irritated when the Fatui were mentioned. "You knights are subject to too many restrictions and cannot directly confront those who claim to be "diplomatic partners." I just hate their arrogance and unreasonableness out of personal aesthetics.

If I had to choose between "eating an ice slime alive" and "joining the Fatui"... I would choose to be crushed to death by a meteorite falling from the sky in a crack in the earth."

Likewise, Diluk had no intention of talking about his past personal grudges with the Fatui. Although... what Diluk said now was indeed true.

Paimon immediately felt ashamed: "Master Diluk's imagination of life is really harsh..."

After talking about all this, they started a new round of travel. After all, according to the intelligence, the location of the next Dragon Tear Crystal is in Dadaupa Valley, which is occupied by the hill tribe called "Black Sun Tribe" who live there.

Now, what they have to do is to find the Hill people of that tribe and have a "good talk" with them...

……

……

……

In the middle of a dense forest, watching a group of people walking towards the Dadaupa Valley, Menma knew how far the progress had come at this moment.

[Let them solve it themselves. They are just a bunch of hillbillies anyway. They are no match for them.]

Menma was not very interested in the three major hill tribes in Dadaupa Valley. Anyway, he had already known the origin of the hill people through the plot, and he also knew that the "Black Sun Tribe" among the three major tribes was at most a branch of the former Kanreya people. Even if the background was "mysterious", it would not cause any waves.

[While they are in Dadaupa Valley, I will find something to do in Mondstadt.]

There was definitely not enough time to go to other countries, so Menma's plan to visit other countries had to be postponed. However, there were still many places in Mondstadt that he had not been to, so he could take this opportunity to explore them.

For example, Dragon Back Snow Mountain.

As a person from the outer world, holding a power higher than this world, Menma believes that Albedo in the snowy mountains will definitely get along well with them. And even if it is not for Albedo, Menma's next first choice for exploration will still be the snowy mountains.

After all, there was an idea that Menma had long wanted to verify...

Having made up his mind, Menma immediately performed the Earth Escape: Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique, and the whole person flew into the air, flying towards the snowy mountain at an extremely fast speed.
