Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Hutao looks carefree, with small arms and legs, just like a playful girl in the city.

“Pfft! Hahahahahaha!”

Accompanied by bursts of triumphant laughter in the arena, Walnut grasped the "Demon-killing Box Blade" in her slender hands and swung the huge freezing fighter to the ground.

boom! boom! Boom boom boom!

Ice shadows flickered, and fierce collisions occurred one after another on the stage. Captano, the tenth executive officer of the Fatui, and his "Demon Lord Armor. Bird" were smashed to the ground.

One, two, three, four, five, six... The originally solemn duel turned into such a farce after both sides revealed their true strength.

Walnut's strength is not better than Captano's, and even his experience is far behind. However, when the "Immortal Saint Armor" and the "Demon Lord Armor" are launched, why is the scene so humorous?

"That Fatui executive failed to recognize his own strengths. Increasing his size was a mistake."

Zhongli, who was sitting in the audience, watched Captano spinning on the stage like a top and shook his head. The key to victory or defeat in a battle lies in who can better play to their strengths.

Caputano's strengths are his unpredictable "gun fighting skills" and rich practical experience, while Walnut has the upper hand with his extraordinary physical fitness.

From this perspective, Captano is more suitable for an agile, fast and precise fighting style, such as turning the "Demon Lord Armed Bird" into a small flying gun and launching attacks from all angles.

However, this "captain" chose to heavily arm himself, turning himself into a bulky aircraft cannon. If it weren't for an opponent like Walnut, this might have been a wise choice. However, facing Walnut, who was much stronger than him, doing so was extremely stupid.

Completely giving up your own advantages and confronting the opponent's strengths head-on...isn't this courting death?

As a result, an overwhelming situation was formed on the field.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Continuous explosions sounded on the ring. After Captano's frozen fighter was smashed down countless times, it finally made a strange sound.

Under the suppression of Walnut's exaggerated power, even the hard "Demon Lord Armor. Bird" could not continue. With a crisp cracking sound, the ice and water mixed parts outside Captano fell one after another.

I... this...

Captano was hit so many times that his mind was no longer clear. But he still saw Walnut walking towards him with a spear in his hand.

This guy is completely different from the Liyue spearman I know?

Before this, Captano had already mastered Hu Tao's combat information. Liyue's spearmen are known for their flexible and varied moves and graceful movements. Spears are an art to them, and they look very free and easy while stabbing and jumping.

But what about Kurumi? Did she really use a gun?

After entering the "Berserker Mode", Hu Tao's fighting style is just like the Hulk, in one word - "fierce". At this moment, Hu Tao is a typical "random punches kill the master".

To describe it in more detail, it should be like this:

"This young man does not understand martial ethics. He attacked me, an old comrade in his forties, out of rage. Is this good? No. I advise this young man to reflect on himself and stop playing tricks. In a martial arts competition, you must have real skills, don't fight randomly, and follow martial ethics."

However, Hu Tao didn't want to listen to his nagging at the moment.

"Hello... Wangsheng Hall has a big promotion, buy one get one free, do you want one?"

Although still in a violent state, Walnut instinctively said this to Captano. The red tip of the gun was against his neck, ready to help him complete the next cycle of life and death at any time.

Walnut actually doesn't like killing people. Even when he was in a violent state, he still held back and didn't rip out Caputano's intestines.

Even so, the previous series of heavy falls had completely destroyed Caputano's fighting spirit.

“I…I give up.”

In desperation, Caputano lowered his head, his face full of shame. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I lost."

These few words made Caputano feel as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he could only kneel on the ground.

"Game 7 is over! Winner: Liyue team, Hu Tao!"

The referee then announced the end of the game, declaring that Liyue had once again taken the initiative in the game.

Phew... we won.

After confirming victory, Hu Tao quickly inhaled the blood in the "Immortal Saint Armor. Dark Butterfly". As the blood returned, her consciousness recovered and her condition improved.

Um?and many more!

When Walnut was about to leave, he suddenly saw Captano, who was in a daze, raising a gun and pointing it at his head.

Bang! Before Caputano could pull the trigger, Walnut quickly turned around and shot the gun out of his hand.

"...Isn't your Wangshengtang in the funeral business? Wouldn't it be better for me to die?"

Seeing Kurumi's frown, Captano smiled bitterly. As a defeated executive, there was nothing to be nostalgic about.

It would be better to end it by shooting yourself, rather than living in disgrace.

"We in the Hall of the Dead only serve those who are destined to die, and you are not yet that age, so live well."

After breaking Caputano's gun, Kurumi left this sentence and turned to leave the ring.

Really... I totally lost.

Looking at her lively yet serious figure, Caputano took a deep breath and walked unsteadily towards the contestant channel.

However, just as the seventh game came to an end and Liyue took the initiative again, an unprecedented conflict broke out in the "Winter Lounge" not far away.

But this conflict has nothing to do with the recently defeated Caputano, but with the upcoming eighth executive officer, "Rooster" Pucciniella... ...

In the bustling city lounge, the atmosphere is subdued but normal, until the fifth executive, "The Rooster" Pucciniella, is about to go into battle.

"Pendrino...what did you just say? I don't think I heard it clearly."

Puccini stood in the center, his eyes burning like flames at the old man opposite him, his eyes full of provocation.

As the most senior Fatui executive, "Buffoon" Pandrino was respected by all executives, even the now powerful "Rooster". However, even so, Pandrino's words just now still made Pucciniella furious.

"You'd better give up and don't go on the court. You can't beat that opponent."

Under the shocked gazes of the other executives, Pandrino remained calm. When this statement came out, everyone in the lounge was dumbfounded.

Pucciniella was about to participate in the eighth match on behalf of Solstice, but Pandrino suggested that he give up? The only people in the lounge now were the seventh "Master" Pettarona and the third "Doctor" Dotter. Even these two usually cynical executives were shocked by Pandrino's words.

It was clear to everyone that the eighth match was crucial for Zhidong. After the defeat of "Captain" Captano in the last match, the situation was tilted in Liyue's favor. The score was 4-3, and Liyue had won four games. If Pucciniella lost again, Liyue would get the match point. As long as they won one of the next three games, they would win the "Vulcan Entombment Festival".

Pucciniella couldn't lose this match, otherwise the opponent would have three match points in a row. Who could afford it? But he was ready to fight, but Pandrino not only didn't encourage him, but asked him to give up? If it hadn't come from the "clown", Pucciniella might have already taken action.

"I didn't expect you to be so humorous. Are you trying to liven up the atmosphere?"

Puccini sneered, and then was stunned for a few seconds.

"This is not a joke. You really can't win. My previous divination predicted that you would lose in the eighth game, and I am even more certain after seeing your opponent."

Pandelino shook his head and turned his gaze to the familiar figure in the Liyue lounge. Just as Ying recognized Pandelino at a glance, he also recognized the royal princess.

As the captain of the "Last Palace Guard of Kanreya", Tyrfeng (Pendrino) knows the terrible strength of the "Son of Chalk". It is a creature born to become the "Original Man", and even the "Seven Rulers of the Earth" cannot compete with it. Although it is unclear how much of Her Royal Highness's strength has recovered, even if it has not fully recovered, Puccini is definitely not its opponent.

In addition, Pandrino's "Tarot Divination" had already revealed the final outcome of the "Fire God Enmu Festival".

"What do you mean?"

Pucciniella looked at Pandrino in confusion.

"I have predicted the outcome of each match. Don't worry, we will win."

Pendrino glanced at the last two executives in the lounge. The other executives were either in the emergency room or had passed away. The scene was bleak. But Pendrino firmly believed in victory and seemed to have never considered the possibility of failure.

Indeed, Pandrino had already foreseen the outcome of the match. In the eighth game, Pucciniella was destined to lose to Ying, and even die at the hands of his opponent as soon as he got on stage. Liyue would get the match point, but it didn't matter.

Because in the ninth and tenth games, the Fatui will win and there is still a chance to fight to the end.

"I will play in the final eleventh match myself, and of course, I will win."

Facing Li Mochen, Pandrino's tone was full of confidence. He had predicted his own match hundreds of times, and each time it predicted that he would win the final victory and defeat Li Mochen.

In other words, as long as he stood on the ring, Pandrino was destined to win and there was no possibility of failure. In this case, Pucciniella only needed to give up and did not need to die in vain.

"You are the de facto leader of the Fatui. It is wiser to conserve your strength to serve Her Majesty the Queen. Don't act on impulse."

From an impartial point of view, Pandrino had no intention of being sarcastic, he was just speaking the truth. However, given the personality of the fifth senior executive...it would be strange if he listened to him.

Who is Puccini? He is an out-and-out ambitious, power-hungry, and absolutely self-centered person. Although he is regarded as the second most powerful person among the Fatui after the "Buffoon", he never agrees with this statement.

"Okay...very good, you said I would die? What if I didn't die, but won the game instead?"

Pucciniera took a deep breath and spoke in an angry tone.

"…So you want me to fight?"

"Of course, I will give up and surrender just because of a few words from you? If you really want me to give up, we can decide it here with our fists."

In an instant, a strong murderous intent erupted from Pucciniella, like the severe cold of the Far North sweeping across the winter lounge, scaring the "Doctor" and "Master" next to him so much that they dared not move.

No way? Are they going to fight here? This is too ridiculous. This is the worst internal conflict in history.

Seeing the Clown and the Rooster getting ready to fight, the Doctor could not help but take a few steps back. Although he was the third in command, he knew that he was far inferior to these two in strength. If they really fought here, the Doctor would definitely run away immediately to avoid being implicated.
