Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

boom--

The powerful wind from the fist brushed against Cole's hair and knocked down a huge tree in front of her.

If the Shadow Hillbillies had not shown mercy and were unwilling to attack the weak, Cole would have returned to the arms of the Great Mercy Tree King.

Only then did Cole remember that she was being chased by a terrifying monster and she and Nashida were fleeing for their lives.

Nashida stopped running away. The punch just now was a warning to her. If she chose to escape from the fight again, she would not hold back. Although this strange hillbilly did not say a word, Nashida understood the belief it wanted to convey from its punch.

"My little Lucky Grass King's divine power is not bad either!" Nashida looked at the shadow hillman in front of her seriously, clenched her fists, and said seriously: "Let her leave, I will fight you!!!"

The Shadow Hillman nodded, sat down cross-legged, and signaled Cole to leave quickly.

Nashida looked at Cole's worried eyes and comforted him, "Don't worry, even if I hold Cole in one hand and turn my back to the Sumeru Sea of ​​Trees, I can still beat this hillbilly."

"I can only fight freely when you are safe."

From the fact that he was completely unable to struggle and react when Nashida carried him away just now, Cole knew that although Nashida looked harmless, she was actually much stronger than him. The hill people on the opposite side looked ordinary, but their strength was stronger than Master Tinari. At least Master Tinari couldn't knock down a towering tree with one punch.

Knowing that he was only a hindrance here, Collet no longer hesitated and gritted his teeth and planned to go to Daochenglin to ask for help.

The Shadow Hillman considerately gave Cole enough time to escape. When it estimated that Cole had escaped from the range that would be affected by the aftermath of the battle, it stood up and raised its bandaged fist, signaling Nashida to continue the fight.

This was the first time Nashida had seen such a powerful and martial Hillman. However, as the Grass God of Xumi and the heir of the Great Kindness Tree King, she was not someone that could be challenged by a strange Hillman.

She had been running away just now to protect Cole, and during the time she was waiting for Cole to escape, one of Nashida's consciousnesses that had stayed in other places in Xumi came over. The two consciousnesses converged, and now the clone of the grass element standing in front of the hillman had reached the level of a demon god's follower.

Nashida clenched her fists and attacked confidently.

……

On the other side, Cole was desperately traveling through the rainforest, hoping to find help for Nashida.

But she was somewhat desperate to find that after fleeing madly under the leadership of Nashida and going deep into the rainforest for who knows how far, she, Cole, a trainee forest ranger, was lost!!!

Nashida's speed of travel exceeded Cole's expectations. She ran from Daochenglin to Hengnalana in just a few minutes.

After becoming a trainee ranger, Collet was often recuperating from illness. Out of consideration for Collet's health, Tinari and other rangers would never assign her patrol missions beyond the scope of Daocheng Forest.

Collet had never been to Hengalana before, so it was not surprising that he got lost here.

Hengalana is a place where Lannaro often appear. It is their hometown. It is sparsely populated, with dense vegetation and no obvious landmarks. Even the sun in the sky is blocked by the leaves of the rainforest. If you are not familiar with the rainforest, it is easy to get lost here.

Therefore, in Lannaro fairy tales, there are often stories of children who get lost in the deep forest and are sent home by kind Lannaro. It is not uncommon for explorers who get lost in Hengalana to find their way with the guidance of invisible Lannaro.

With worries about Nashida in her heart, and because she was lost and unable to ask her master or other rangers for help, Cole was in despair and thought of the remnants of the demon sealed in her body.

Cole thought: "If I can unlock the seal of the demon's remnant, I will be able to gain the power to help her."

"I can't leave her alone!!!"

Thanks to the Shadow Hilichurls' powerful moves, which could destroy the Lannaro family's moves at the slightest disagreement, Cole could feel the battle between the Hilichurls and Nashida even from a long distance away. At least he didn't have to worry about getting lost and not finding Nashida.

Standing up and wiping away her tears, Cole turned around and was about to return the same way she came when a voice like the sound of nature came from behind her.

Guang Tou Qiang: "Girl, you seem to need help?"

……

In the battle between Nashida and the Shadow Hillmen, Nashida was clearly at a disadvantage.

Facing the fist attack of the shadow hillman, Nashida could only dodge. Not to mention whether her short arms and legs could defeat the enemy, her body was made of grass elements, and she would shatter at the touch of the shadow power attached to the hillman's fist.

However, Nashida's grass elemental attack was blocked by the black mist on the surface of the hillman's body and its tempered body.

In fact, judging from the strength on paper, the Shadow Hilichurls' strength has not yet broken through the level of the Demon's followers, and Nashida should be in an advantageous and crushing position, but unfortunately, Nashida's fighting style is too incompatible with the Shadow Hilichurls.

As the second generation God of Wisdom, Nashida excels in the power of dreams. She once tried to trap this strange Hillichul in a dream, but found that this Hillichul didn't even dream.

Moreover, the mainstream attack method of Teyvat is the bombardment of elemental forces. It is simply heresy for the Shadow Hilichurls to enchant their bodies with elemental forces and then summon their fists into an attacking posture.

Although Nashida was very powerful, she could only dodge helplessly. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Nashida had never experienced a decent battle in all these years.

The sandbags who can provide Nashida with combat experience will not attack her because of her identity, and those who attack Nashida are all weaklings who can be killed in one move. Nashida is very clever to be able to think of controlling plants and trees to attack.

She has a strong will, excellent resistance to grass elements, and strong physical attacks. To put it simply, although Nashida is strong, she is behind the version and is restrained, which is why she has such an ugly record.

On the other side of the battle, the Shadow Hillman also fought very unhappily. As a warrior eager to fight against the strong, it wanted to fight the enemy with fists and flesh, instead of the current situation where the opponent only knew how to dodge. It threw so many punches and consumed most of its physical strength but still failed to hit the opponent.

The Shadow Hillichells were even a little angry and felt that they were being fooled.

Nashida was speechless after sensing the intention of the hillman's fist. Look at her small arms and legs. If she was hit by a punch, the fight would be over.

Unfortunately, the angry Shadow Hillman didn't listen to Nashida's explanation at all.

Thinking that Cole was safe and there was no point in continuing to fight this strange Hillilchurl, Nashida decided to abandon this grass elemental body to end this boring battle.

For Nashida, abandoning this body made of grass would only mean losing a little grass power. As the God of Grass in Xumi, what Nashida lacked the most was grass power.

However, just as Nashida was controlling her body and closing her eyes waiting to die, she caught a glimpse of a green shadow from the corner of her eye.

Nashida was shocked and asked, "Kole, why are you here!?"

whoosh-

"Please, Korianba!"

Cole threw out the Korianba doll, deflecting the Shadow Hillman's punch, and manipulated the vines to pull Nashida to his side.

Nashida asked hurriedly: "Kole, why are you back again?"

Ke Lai confidently put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "After all, I can't just abandon you! And I have found a very powerful helper!"

As he spoke, Cole shouted toward the bushes behind him: "Please, Mr. Qiang!"

The voice arrived before the person arrived. Bald Qiang's voice became powerful and imposing, no longer as vulgar as before.

Bald Qiang (Muscle Mode): "No problem, leave it to me."

A pair of big hands like a cushion pushed aside the bushes, and a bald and muscular man stood out.

Different from his previous three-inch-tall and straw-like body, Bald Qiang, who is now in muscle mode, can definitely be called a peerless macho man.

Two meters and three meters tall, with strong and explosive muscles, a serious expression, and most importantly, the confident look on his face and the aura of a powerful man who can overwhelm the whole world. His appearance is like dancing in people's hearts.

Bald Qiang looked at the shadow hillman in front of him and said calmly: "Are you the opponent this time?"

The Shadow Hillichul calmed down from his anger, but his eyes, which were becoming increasingly red, showed his excitement and agitation.

Shadow Hillman: "Masid (Strong, fight!)"

The shadow hillbilly took the lead. It stamped its feet hard, and a big hole appeared on the ground in the blink of an eye. The next second before Cole blinked, the shadow hillbilly appeared in front of the muscular bald Qiang and punched him hard with full force.

"Intentional punch!!!"

"Snapped."

There was no earth-shattering collision. The muscular bald man simply stretched out his hand lightly and took the punch as if picking up a flower.

Guang Tou Qiang commented calmly: "The strength is acceptable."

Then he grasped the Shadow Hillman's hand and threw it into the air with a little force, then drew the axe from his waist and swung it lightly.

In front of this axe, the sky and the earth seemed to lose their color, and the space turned into black and white. The center of the space was the axe's slash and the blood sprayed by the Shadow Hillilfer.

puff.

The Shadow Hillichul's body fell powerlessly to the ground.

Bald Qiang said to the shadowy hillbilly in the deep pit: "This axe is my respect for your martial arts and will."

"Cutting off one of your arms is a punishment for you."

Seeing that the bald uncle he met by chance actually had such strength, Ke Lai couldn't help but cheered: "Wow, Uncle Qiangda, you are so awesome!"

bang——

A cloud of smoke filled the air, and Bald Qiang turned from the unrivaled macho man he used to be back to being an ordinary, even a little creepy uncle with a mustache.

Bald Qiang touched his bald head and said modestly with a hint of pride: "Hahaha, it's just a small skill, not worth mentioning. My best skill is still chopping trees."

"I tell you, I was a champion lumberjack!"

Cole: "Really? But when did Xumi hold a logging competition?"

Bald Qiang: "Well, that happened a long time ago. At that time, I was a mortal enemy of the two big bears."

Nashida quietly watched Cole and Bald Qiang communicate. She could feel the power in Bald Qiang that did not belong to this world. The power of this woodcutter from another world was not weaker than hers.

……

In the deep pit at the center of the battlefield, the shadow hillman who had managed to save his life due to Bald Qiang's good mood climbed out of the pit. Its originally scarlet eyes became clear.

The axe that Bald Qiang swung just now not only cut off one of its arms, but also cut off the seed of shadow lurking in his sea of ​​​​mind. The power of shadow has become his own power.

Although he lost an arm, the Shadow Hillichell also gained a lot.

Not only is there no risk of becoming a shadow puppet, but he has also cut off his own shackles and can see the way forward clearly.

The Shadow Hillichul man carefully felt the true meaning of martial arts remaining in the broken arm. He knew that as long as he could comprehend the true meaning of martial arts and use it for his own benefit, his strength would be able to reach a higher level.

It is no longer appropriate to call it the Shadow Hillickel at this time. Perhaps it should be called the Martial Arts Hillickel.

Looking at the departing figure of Bald Qiang, the martial arts hillbilly stood still like a wooden stake, as if he was carefully savoring the axe that made the world pale in comparison.

After a long time, the martial arts hillbilly picked up the broken arm on the ground and walked towards the depths of the forest under the guidance of the moonlight.

With the help of the power of shadow, the martial arts hillbilly will not die from excessive blood loss. With the help of the power of shadow, it is not difficult for it to choose to connect the broken arm or regenerate a new arm.

But in order to carry out his will and to better experience the essence of that move, the martial arts hillbilly chose to keep the broken arm.

Perhaps one day, it will fully understand this move and choose to reconnect its broken arm.

Under the moonlight, the back of the martial arts hillbilly looks miserable, and its thin body and broken arms make people feel pity, but its firm steps and indomitable momentum show that it is not an ordinary hillbilly!

……

On the other side, under the escort of Bald Qiang and Nashida, Cole was safely sent back to Daochenglin.

During the conversation along the way, Cole finally learned Nashida's name, but Nashida did not explain Cole's misunderstanding of her as Lannaro.

Perhaps this misunderstanding is a good thing. Nashida is not yet ready to appear in front of the people of Xumi as the God of Grass.

On the grounds that it was getting late, Nashida and Bald Qiang declined Tinari and Cole's invitation to stay as guests. After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic rangers, Bald Qiang strode towards his own cabin.

Nashida followed Bald Qiang silently.

Bald Qiang stopped walking, turned around and looked at Nashida, and said, "Little girl, why are you following me so late instead of going home?"

"Uncle Bald Qiang won't give you candy."

Nashida's face was full of seriousness as she said, "You are not from this world, are you?"

"As the god of Xumi, I hope you can tell me your intention of staying in Xumi!"

Nashida mobilized all the consciousness in the Xumi Realm, and even took the Heart of the Grass God. It can be said that except for the body trapped in the Jingshan Palace, Nashida has used all her strength.

At this moment, Nashida finally had the demeanor of a god. The green leaves on her white hair were glowing, the grass elements around her were condensing, and a hundred-meter-tall wooden giant stood quietly behind her.

Looking at the small and cute Nashida, she exudes the power of a demon.

Facing Nashida, who was baring her teeth and claws like a kitten in danger, Bald Qiang didn't care and just said lightly:

"I'm here to chop down trees."
