Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

Leonid skillfully hid himself and left the battlefield along the predetermined route.

And Rhine is no longer "standing out".

The blazing fire element surrounded him, transformed into flames, stained Rhine's sleeves, and illuminated the dim cave.

Ye Lan could clearly feel that the attack frequency of those tentacles had slowed down a lot at this time.

She placed her fingers on the bowstring and used her limited strength to shoot a water arrow at the tentacle, hindering its offensive momentum. She then transformed her body into a water shadow and slipped away from the piercing of another tentacle.

"If this goes on, defeat is inevitable!" Ye Lan quickly thought of a countermeasure, but found that the Fatui had disappeared long ago, and where he should have been standing, there was a figure wearing an executive cloak.

The man was wearing a hood and a seamless black mask on his face.

Ye Lan's attention was distracted and she was unable to dodge, and was scratched in the abdomen by a tentacle.

The wound was shallow, but it hurt like hell.

Although the pain could keep her awake, it would also separate her mind.

Ye Lan dodged suddenly, but found that she did not have enough space to move, so she had to press her back against the cold stone wall and barely avoided the tentacles that attacked from the side.

"It seems... I miscalculated..."

Ye Lan leaned against the stone wall, muttering to herself.

"Miss Yelan!"

Just as Ye Lan was about to try to escape the tentacle blockade again, a loud sound, accompanied by a strong flame, stimulated her senses.

boom!

The fireball hit the tentacle, and the violent explosion caused the tentacle, which already had insufficient strength, to fall in the opposite direction.

Flames ignited at the corners of the clothes, and as Rhine moved at a low altitude, a long tail of fire was dragged, illuminating the shape of the black tentacles in the dark cave.

Rhine hugged Ye Lan and quickly retreated, "barely" avoiding the attack of a tentacle.

"You actually dare to join the game..." Surrounded by three tentacles, even though she was in deep danger, Ye Lan still had the mood to talk to Rhine.

The strong fire element made the cave, which should have been cold and gloomy, warm and bright, and also slightly affected Ye Lan's mood.

At least being held in someone's arms was much better than crawling around on the cold rocks.

Ye Lan fell completely into Rhine's arms. Looking at his face illuminated by the firelight, she felt less inclined to step on him.

Rhine watched as a tentacle attacked him head-on and he couldn't dodge it in time, so he had to turn his back to the tentacle to ensure that the injured and exhausted Ye Lan would not get hurt.

The tentacles lashed Rhine's back directly, but when they were about to touch him, two soft cubes broke away, collided with each other, made a muffled sound, and then gently rested on Rhine, pushing him out with force.

By the way, it tore a long tear in his luxurious robe.

Rhine followed the force and flew out of the tentacles, leaving a blazing ball of fire in the center of the tentacles, and rushed towards the direction where Ye Lan came from.

"Left." Even though Ye Lan was held in his arms with his eyes closed, he could still hear where Rhine was running and point him in the right direction.

Rhine ran to the leftmost fork in the road, still running hard.

"There is a road that leads directly to the surface. Just keep turning left." Ye Lan put her arms behind Rhine's neck, closed her eyes and relaxed, relying only on her ears to determine where they were.

Rhine followed Ye Lan's instructions and it took him quite some time to finally walk out of the deep cave of the abyss.

"Ha~ It feels so good to see the light of day again!" Rhine finally walked out of the cave, hugged Ye Lan, and looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky.

"Yeah." Ye Lan was still tired. She opened her eyes and looked at Lai Yin, saying softly, "Go north. There is a crooked banyan tree. Three hundred meters to the left, you can see a stream. Then go north. There is a dilapidated thatched cottage."

"Ah?" Rhine asked in confusion.

Why is she saying this?

"There is my safe house there, we can rest here. We are in a very sorry state right now. If we return to Liyue Harbor like this, we will definitely attract attention and expose a lot of information."

After Ye Lan finished speaking, she closed her eyes again and rested peacefully.

"Can't you just come down and walk by yourself?" Rhine said helplessly.

Ye Lan shook her head slowly: "I'm very tired now. Even if I go down, I can't walk more than a few steps, and the speed will be very slow."

After saying this, she put all her weight on Rhine's arm with a clear conscience and said no more.

"..."

Rhine had no choice but to hold Ye Lan and move forward according to the planned route.

"Is this the place?" Rhine looked at the dilapidated thatched house in front of him and wondered how there could be such a simple safe house.

Seeing Ye Lan nod, Rhine had no choice but to push open the wooden door and walked in.

"Put me down."

Without waiting for Lai Yin to react, Ye Lan withdrew her arms from around his neck and landed lightly on the dusty wooden board.

Then, under Rhine's curious gaze, Ye Lan skillfully pulled away a piece of floor, revealing a passage leading underground.

Ye Lan jumped down with a light body, and she didn't look exhausted at all.

"Was she just playing me?" Rhine thought so and jumped down the passage.

In the dim underground space, the dagger flashed a cold light and strangled Rhine's throat.

Rhine:?

"Tell me, who are you, where are you from, and what do you want to do?" Ye Lan's tone was cold, completely different from the relaxation she had just a moment ago.

"Rhine, a man from the Winter Solstice, aims to become a great adventurer and travel around the Seven Kingdoms." Rhine was not at all flustered by the threat, but still showed some surprise.

"Miss Ye Lan, what are you doing?"

Ye Lan didn't answer him, but put her hand into his clothes and groped him wantonly.

"There...no!" Rhine said in panic when he felt Ye Lan touching the "Eye of God".

Ye Lan stretched out his hand, holding an Eye of the Elemental God of Fire in the shape of Winter.

"Mr. Fool, you don't really think that I know nothing, do you?" Ye Lan said jokingly while playing with the Eye of God.

"Huh?" Rhine looked confused.

Ye Lan continued, "You happened to appear at the place where I was fighting with that Fatui, and at the critical moment. Did you think I didn't notice anything?

Say, before we leave, who was that man in the mask?"

"How the hell should I know?" Rhine showed some anger: "Isn't that just a group of fools?"

Ye Lan looked thoughtful: "Didn't you see the executive officer?"

"..." Rhine remained silent.

Ye Lan pressed the sharp dagger against Lai Yin and said coldly, "Answer my question."

"My mother won't let me talk to crazy people." Rhine pouted: "By the way, do you have a mother?"

"Interesting." Ye Lan seemed amused.

She held the dagger in reverse, with the tip away from Rhine, and said softly: "Then go talk to your mother..."

The next moment, the dagger pierced Rhine's throat.

The sharp tip of the knife pressed against Rhine's skin, but it did not move forward.

Ye Lan gracefully put away the dagger and patted Rhine on the shoulder.

"Congratulations, you passed the test."
