Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

When the group was halfway on their way, it started to rain, and the group huddled under a shabby thatched pavilion waiting for the rain to stop.

But the rain got heavier and heavier, gradually turning into a downpour.

The dilapidated thatched pavilion could not withstand the pouring rain, and more and more rain was blown in by the wind.

"The pavilion can't keep out the rain any longer. Why don't we go back to the inn?" Paimon suggested.

Without waiting for Kong and Su to answer, Xiao said, "You guys go back. Tell me the location of the monster and I'll deal with it."

How can you do this!

"Of course we should go back together," Paimon advised, "It won't be too late for us to defeat the monsters tomorrow after the rain stops!"

Not intending to let the monster that absorbed the demon's residue live another day, Xiao walked straight out of the thatched pavilion.

Xiao: "Monsters won't rest just because it rains."

So he won't rest. It doesn't matter if he is not told the exact location, he just needs to inspect the entire area.

Before Xiao really walked into the rain, a warm hand grabbed him.

"you……!"

Xiao was truly surprised.

It's the same again. Why can she always approach me so easily and instinctively without arousing my vigilance at all?

Xiao originally wanted to ask the girl directly, but he felt a chilling malice, so he paused the unfinished questioning and looked into the distance.

Paimeng saw Su holding Xiao, Xiao looked into the distance, then Su also looked into the distance, and then he looked into the distance at Kong, who was also looking into the distance.

Everyone looked into the distance without saying anything. Paimon thought about it and also looked into the distance.

At the other end of the sight, many monsters gradually appeared on the originally empty plain.

They looked muddleheaded and had an ominous black aura. They were just the lowest level of hillbillies, but they gave people a powerful and weird feeling.

"These are the same kind of Hilichurls we encountered before!" Paimon recognized these extremely fierce Hilichurls, "Why are there more of them?"

"The hatred and resentment of the demon god when he died will turn into demon god residue." Xiao, who has fought against this kind of thing for thousands of years, is very familiar with its characteristics. "The demon god residue will contaminate the people and monsters it touches, corroding their spirits while increasing their strength."

A green spear appeared in Xiao's hand. This was the weapon "Hepu Kite" that had accompanied him in battles for many years.

Xiao warned, "Be careful not to get contaminated. If you do... I will show no mercy."

With a wave of his hand, the Nuo mask covered his true appearance. Xiao picked up the spear, flew as light as a swallow and as swift as an arrow, and pierced the center of the monster!

Paimon stamped his feet: "Why do you always talk like this!"

"Well...I think this is also a way for him to care about us and remind us." Kong said.

Although it sounds more like a threat.

"I know!" Paimon warned Kong and Su, "Then you must be careful not to get contaminated or hurt!"

Kong agreed with a smile, and rushed towards the group of monsters with Su.

The monsters were indeed strengthened, and the maces they swung made sharp sounds. But before the maces fell, they were caught by the spears and thrown out.

Before Kong could say thank you, the owner of the spear had already started fighting with the enemy again. His fierce attack became faster and faster, almost like an afterimage shuttling across the battlefield.

Kong and Su both became puzzled by his eagerness.

This isn't a time-limited challenge, why rush it?

Yaksha is a brave warrior, and Xiao, as a warrior, has been fighting against the remnants of the demon god for thousands of years. Xiao knows his enemy and himself.

The whispers in his ears became louder and louder, and the faces of Kong and Su, who were mixed in with the enemy, began to look like monsters in his eyes.

Auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and searing pain.

The karma has begun again.

It is not difficult for Xiao to subdue demons and eliminate evil, but he has been killing the remnants of demons for thousands of years. The resentment of the losers has continued to accumulate and has become his karma.

It has to be fast.

Solve it all and stay away from them!

"Jing Yao Nuo Dance!"

Xiao grasped the wind element tightly, leaped high with the power of the wind, and then dropped from the sky with the spear and stabbed the demon hard on the head!

The huge gravitational acceleration caused the point where Xiao fell to continuously generate huge smoke and screams. In just a moment, only the remains of the demons and Xiao, who was supporting himself with a spear, were left.

Although he didn't look injured, he looked very painful.

"Stay away from me..." Xiao tried hard to stay clear-headed and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

"Xiao?" Su walked over there. "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao's ears were filled with roars, howls, and sounds of fighting. In his eyes, Su and Kong's faces also completely turned into the hideous appearance of demons.

"do not come!"

Xiao suppressed his instinctive killing intent to avoid hurting them. He struggled to slowly raise his aching body and wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

Su had already seen Xiao's face without the Nuo mask, and his amber golden eyes were now red.

"Kong," Su said calmly, pulling out the strongest hemp rope from his backpack, "Come and help."

Xiao, who was tied up tightly, suppressed his karma and regained a bit of clarity.

"If you don't want to get into trouble... stay away from me." As he spoke, a painful sound came out of Xiao's throat.

"This is my "retribution" and has nothing to do with you. You... leave quickly..."

Karma struck back again, and after saying this, Xiao completely lost consciousness.

Before falling into a coma, Xiao had only one thought in his mind: don't hurt them.

"Kong, put on gloves and a mask." Su calmly ignored Xiao's words "retribution". After taking basic protective measures, he began to check Xiao's condition.

"Well, there are indeed no external injuries." Su made a preliminary assessment.

Does that mean there's an injury inside?

Su thought about it and cast a healing colored water ring on Xiao.

The water ring rippled happily, spreading its healing power, but until the water ring disappeared, the unconscious Xiao still had a look of pain and endurance on his face.

"He's not injured, and there's no poison in his body." Su groaned, "So what's the problem?"

It can't be an old mental illness.

Finally, Kong was able to figure out a little bit of the situation.

"This ominous black air is very similar to what happened to Tevarin back then." Xiao also said that the demon residue would bring pollution, "This is the same, right? Curses and pollution and the like."

"That makes sense! Kong, you're really smart." Su's eyes lit up.

And it just so happens that Kong has the power to purify pollution and curses.

"Then you try it, Kong. Purify Xiao just like you purified the Dragon Tear Crystal."

"Okay." At this critical moment, Kong felt that it would be okay to give it a try.

Sora held Xiao's hand, closed his eyes and calmed down, recalling the feeling of purifying the dragon's tears...

"It's glowing!" Paimon, who had come over at some point, was surprised, "It can actually purify..."

Could it be that the pollution from the demon's residue and the curse from the abyss have something in common?

By the time Kong let go of his hand, the black aura lingering on Xiao's body had mostly disappeared, and the expression on his face had relaxed.
