Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

In the early morning of the Xumi Rain Forest, mist condenses into crystal dewdrops on the emerald green leaves, emitting colorful glow under the sunlight.

In the rainforest, it is common to be wrapped in fog and have the corners of your clothes wet by dew on the vegetation. For experienced rangers, wearing a pair of waterproof rubber shoes and a lightweight quick-drying coat is a must.

But for the agile Cole, there are more choices.

Even though she was suffering from the Demon Scale Disease, Cole's physical fitness, which was strengthened by elemental power, was stronger than most trainee forest rangers. For her, jumping on the branches of large trees, using vines and randomly spreading four-leaf seals, made the patrol mission not only easy and efficient, but also full of fun.

Although Cole had to return to Xumi to recuperate under the care of her master Tinari in order to cure her demonic lin disease, she and her lifelong friend Amber kept communicating through letters.

From Amber's letter, Cole was surprised to learn that so many amazing things had happened in Mond in just a few months.

It turns out that in this peaceful life, the people living on the continent of Teyvat are unknowingly wandering in the face of life and death crisis! ?

Although Amber modestly said in the letter that she did not contribute much in that crisis, Cole always believed that as the sun in her heart, Amber must have worked hard to help many people in this disaster.

That was Amber who saved her from the darkness!

Just a few days ago, Amber's letter contained a package. According to Amber's letter, the package contained pills for fighting the demon lin disease that she asked her friend named Lu Ming to develop.

The letter said that due to the lack of relevant information on the Demonic Scale Disease, this medicine could only suppress the symptoms. If one wanted to cure it completely, Cole might have to go to Mond in person.

Cole and Tinari were shocked by the contents of the letter and did not quite believe the effectiveness of the pills.

But thinking that this pill was made by a great scientist who was famous in Teyvat, Tinari felt that he should still test it first. Perhaps that magical scientist could bring them a surprise.

Cole had heard a little about the great scientist in Mond. Both the bicycles that were popular in Xumi and the elemental armor that was very popular among forest rangers recently were magical things that she had never heard of or seen before.

However, Cole's trust in the effect of the pill was not due to the reputation of Lu Ming, a great scientist, like her master. Her trust in the special pill for the magic unicorn disease came entirely from her feelings for Amber.

If even Amber doesn't trust her, then Cole doesn't think she can find someone she trusts in the entire continent of Teyvat.

After testing confirmed that the pill was harmless to the human body, Tinari agreed to let the impatient Cole take it.

Fortunately, everything went well. After taking the pills for three consecutive days, the symptoms of the demon scale disease on Kelai's body, the black scales, began to show signs of fading, and Kelai's body became healthier day by day.

Such an amazing effect made all the forest rangers in the entire Daocheng Forest very excited. The entire Xumi had been suffering from the Demonic Scale Disease for a long time. Now that a special medicine that can cure the Demonic Scale Disease has appeared, how can people not be ecstatic?

However, Xumi is far away from Mondstadt, and there is Liyue between the two countries. If it was a while ago, it was fine, but recently, especially after the Dark Day of Teyvat, Liyue is no longer as peaceful as before.

In addition, the situation in Xumi has been tense recently, and the weak bodies of the patients with the Demonic Scale Disease cannot sustain long journeys, so the medicine belonging to Cole has also been coveted by many people.

However, all of this was tacitly concealed from Cole by Tinari and the ranger of Daochenglin. Tinari planned to take Cole to Mondstadt as soon as her body recovered a little and completely cure her of the Demonic Scale Disease.

Feeling that her body had recovered well, Cole could no longer sit still. Like a lively little deer, she pestered her master Tinari to go out on patrol and complete her task as an apprentice ranger.

As a primordial god, Cole's fighting power was naturally not weak, and Cole was not the kind of impulsive character, so Tinari was still very confident in this little apprentice. Moreover, the area he arranged for Cole to patrol had been cleaned up by him a few days ago, and the dead zone would not appear again so soon.

Finally, Cole got Tinari's permission and excitedly walked through the rain forest of Xumi.

Just like a swallow returning to its nest and a fish entering the sea, Cole roams freely in the green ocean, embracing the hard-earned freedom.

Every plant and tree in the deep rainforest surprised Cole, including the mushroom piglets with mushrooms on their backs, the squirrels and cute little sparrows building nests in the woods, and even the annoying mushroom beasts in the past became cute.

Seeing Cole so happy and cheerful, the little grass god trapped in Jingshan Palace finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.

The little grass goddess Nashida has always been very concerned about the poor child Cole. Especially when she noticed that Cole's demonic scale disease seemed to be getting worse, Nashida often helped suppress Cole's condition when she was asleep.

Unfortunately, the Demonic Scale Disease is caused by the forbidden knowledge from the World Tree. Even Nashida, the God of Grass, has no way to cure the Demonic Scale Disease.

Nashida was extremely grateful to the great scientist in Mond for finally giving hope to the child she had always cared for. She also had the idea of ​​going to Mond to learn how to treat the Demonic Scale Disease.

But after careful consideration, Nashida decided to postpone her plan to go to Mondstadt. Although she seemed to have been despised, Nashida had always tried her best to help the people of Xumi. If she left Xumi, those patients who had entered the late stage of the Demonic Scale Disease might not be able to survive until the Demonic Scale Disease was completely cured.

Nashida thought: "The people of Xumi finally saw the hope of curing the demon unicorn disease. If they died on the eve of light, it would be too pitiful and too sad."

Her consciousness transformed into a small bird, and Nashida followed closely behind Cole, who was jumping freely in the depths of the rainforest like an elf.

Suddenly, Nashida keenly sensed an uneasy aura coming from the front, and immediately flew to Cole anxiously to stop her from moving forward.

Unfortunately, they couldn't communicate in the same language. The chirping little sparrow looked very cute, especially the anthropomorphic anxious expression on its face, which made Cole very happy. He immediately grabbed the little sparrow and rubbed it against his face affectionately.

Ke Lai: "Rub, rub, what a cute little sparrow."

"But Master said that you are all creatures of the rainforest and are free. Otherwise, I would really like to take you back and raise you."

Nashida, the little bird who was rubbed by Cole's face, was speechless. She realized that the dark aura seemed to have discovered her and Cole and was approaching quickly. Nashida immediately returned to her original little loli form.

The green grass element was shining on the little sparrow. The tiny little sparrow that was originally held in his hand turned into a cute little girl with white hair and elf ears. Cole was stunned on the spot.

His hand was still stretched out, holding Nashida's little toes.

Fortunately, Nashida's body is small, and the temporary body constructed with elemental force is weightless, otherwise her hands would be sore from holding up the cute little Cole weighing dozens of kilograms.

Kelai stared at Nashida blankly and said, "Little Tuanque, it has transformed!!!???"

Nashida jumped lightly, stood beside Cole, grabbed Cole's hand and ran away quickly: "Cole, let's get out of here quickly, there are dangerous monsters ahead."

After being grabbed by Nashida and running away for a long distance, Cole finally came to his senses. Because of Nashida's harmless appearance and friendly attitude, Cole did not struggle.

Kelai just asked: "Little Tuanque, is that monster very powerful? Don't look at me as if I am weak. I have the Eye of God. I can easily deal with ordinary monsters."

whoosh-

A black crescent blade shot towards the two people at a rapid speed. Nashida pulled Cole and jumped flexibly to avoid the attack, but a large tree in front of them that three people could hug was cut in half, and the fallen trunk just blocked the way of the two people.

Nashida stood beside Cole, stretched out her arms in a protective gesture, and said, "You can't escape. Cole, you leave first. I'll hold you here."

Looking at Nashida, who was small but firmly guarding him, Cole seemed to see Amber's red figure wearing rabbit ears and a bow.

Cole took out his bow, looked ahead with a vigilant look, and said, "As an apprentice ranger, I will not flee from the battlefield!"

Nashida showed a complicated look on her face when she saw this. Her body was condensed by elemental force, so even if it was smashed, it would not have much impact on her original body. However, this was only a small part of her consciousness, and the power it could exert was limited. Otherwise, she would not have to take Cole and run away.

However, the mysterious black shadow monster was not far away, and it was too late to explain to Cole and let her leave. Nashida could only try her best to protect Cole.

Bang, bang, bang!

The monster wrapped in black shadow was extremely ferocious. As if to show its strength, the monster broke the trees blocking its way in half with one punch. Such a ferocious monster brought tremendous pressure to Cole even before it showed up.

boom--

After breaking the last thick tree that was hiding the monster's figure, the ferocious monster finally revealed its figure.

It turned out to be an ordinary hillbilly!!!

They are the most ordinary hillbillies that can be seen everywhere in the wilderness, hillbillies without even a stick in their hands, hillbillies with bare hands.

But Cole and Nashida did not dare to let down their guard. The hillman was surrounded by black shadows, his eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a violent aura. His muscles were full of a strong aura, and his fists were wrapped in white bandages. Every move he made was full of oppression.

Looking at Nashida and Cole in front of him, the hillbilly raised his fist, and his aura burst out, dispersing all the clouds in the sky.

The target of the Hilichurl is Nashida. It can feel the powerful force inside Nashida's small body, and this is the strong person it is looking for.

Not long ago, it was an ordinary hillman, worrying about finding food all day long, and being bullied by the hillmen in the tribe and the adventurers passing by every day. Until one day, it ignited its faith and bravely challenged the leader of the tribe, the Rock Helmet Hill King.

Wrapped in the black power that fell from the sky, it successfully defeated the previous boss, Rockhelm Hill King. Under the guidance of the dark power in its body, it embarked on a journey to challenge the strong.

After wandering in the wilderness of Xumi for a long time, it had encountered many strong men, but no matter whether it was a big iron lump that could fly or a square iron block, they were all defeated by its pair of iron fists.

Shadow Hillman: "Miyagi (deliberate punch)."

The shadow hillman rushed towards Nashida like a black arrow, with thick shadows on his fists, as if he was wearing a pair of black iron gloves.

Nashida would naturally not surrender. She slammed the ground with her two small hands, and a huge green vine rose from the ground.

Under Nashida's control, a branch of the vine quietly moved Nashida and Cole's positions, leaving a phantom condensed by grass elements as cover at their original locations.

The remaining branch vines attacked the Shadow Hillman like twisted tentacles, attracting its attention.

Sure enough, facing the attack of the vine monster, the shadow hill people had no time to pay attention to Cole and Nashida. Their scarlet eyes were full of fighting spirit and anger.

The attack from the soft vine's fist may be weak, but it still chooses to fight back with its fist instead of pulling out the tattered iron sword behind it.

Deliberate punch!

A pair of iron fists condense the anger and counterattack of fate, the will is implemented throughout the body, and the blood pulls the power of the shadow, which is an echo of the unwillingness to fate.

It wants to use its pair of iron fists to prove that the Hillilchur people are not weaklings who can be bullied!

It will change the fate of the Hillil people who are constantly reincarnated in this endless hell, where even resting is a luxury!

The body is a monster, but the heart is that of a saint.

thump—

The tall vine was pierced by the force of the fist, and a huge hole appeared in its belly. The shadow of Nashida left behind the hole was shattered.

Nashida, who was running with Cole, turned pale and sped up her pace through the woods.

Cole was shocked by the terrifying momentum of the Hillock Man just now. Is that really a Hillock Man? Could it be a monster disguised as a Hillock Man! ?

Seeing Cole's stunned expression, Nashida comforted him: "Cole, don't worry, I will protect you."

"Hengnalana is ahead. With Lannaro's help, we will definitely be able to drive away that hillbilly."

Cole asked, "Lannaro, isn't that a magical creature from a fairy tale?"

Could it be that Lannaro really exists, Cole couldn't help but think. She also thought about how Nashida had changed from a little bird to her current appearance, and couldn't help but think: "Could it be that she is Lannaro?"

"Yes, that's right. It's because Lannaro can turn into an animal that people can't see Lannaro. And this also explains why she helped me."

"Because in the fairy tale, Lannaro would help the children who were lost in the forest."

Thinking of this, Cole looked at Nashida with eyes full of curiosity and love. Cole was an avid Lannaro fan!
