Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing Paimon's call, Ying subconsciously turned her head, but what greeted her was not a furry puppy, but a ferocious-looking beast hound.

"Roar!!!"

A roar came from the bloody mouth that exuded a foul smell, as if it was demonstrating, or as if it was calling its own kind.

After the roar, the beast hound paused briefly, then raised its sharp claws without hesitation and slapped in the direction of Ying.

Feeling the slight gust of wind brought by the beast's claws, Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and then she subconsciously dodged to the side.

bang——

The sharp claws of the Beast Realm Hound did not hit Ying, but hit a broken wall firmly.

I don’t know if it was because the wall was eroded by time or because the power of this beast hound was much greater than that of its peers, but the broken wall collapsed the moment it came into contact with the beast’s claws.

Ying glanced at the broken ruins with lingering fear, then took out his edgeless sword without hesitation, ready to fight the beast hound in front of him.

As for Paimon...Ying didn't intend to rely on her in fighting, she just hoped that she could find a place to hide herself.

A thought flashed through her mind, and the silver-white blade in the girl's hand was suddenly coated with a hint of water.

——Since coming to Fontaine, she has never used the water element!

After attaching the water element to his sword, Ying took the initiative to rush towards the guy who was two or three times larger than the average beast hound.

The beast hound naturally noticed Ying rushing towards it, and after roaring, it disappeared into nothingness.

Ying, who was still sprinting, stopped when she saw this, then slowly closed her eyes, feeling the changes in the space around her.

If this Beast Hound was facing someone like the Fontaine Guard... this trick might still work.

But what it has to face is a ruthless person who killed the Beast Realm Hounds all the way from Inazuma Tsurukan to Fontainebleau, and even their leader, the "Golden King Beast", can be hunted by her. Naturally, this trick is useless.

The next moment, Ying's pair of bright golden eyes suddenly opened, and then she slashed at the air behind her without hesitation -

"Roar!!!"

A roar of pain came from the crack in the space, and then the sharp claws fell off out of thin air, and then the figure of the beast hound slowly emerged.

Just as the beast was still wailing because its claws were cut off, a flash of golden light flashed above its head.

"Desolate Star!"

Along with the girl's delicate cry, a huge rock elemental creature fell from the sky and hit the Beast Realm Hound hard on the head.

boom--

With a crisp sound, Ying jumped up, a flash of sword light appeared, and the head of the beast realm hound fell off.

It didn't even have the chance to wail... before it disappeared from this world.

Ying chopped off a few of its claws with ease, and then put them into her four-dimensional backpack.

To her, these guys were just there to deliver materials.

At this time, Paimeng floated out from some corner, and then said with some joy:

"See~ I'm actually quite useful in combat~"

Hearing this, Ying glanced at Paimon speechlessly and nodded helplessly, as if acknowledging her role.

Children always need some affirmation.

"But...by the way, why is there a beast hound in this place?"

However, just as Ying and Paimon were about to continue moving deeper into the ruins...even more shrill beast roars came from the cracks in the space.

Before Ying and Paimeng could react, the space around them was torn apart, and beast hounds emitting a strange aura emerged from the cracks in the space.

"Ah, why are there so many beast hounds in this place?! Ying! Think of a solution quickly!"

Paimon shouted loudly while pulling Ying's clothes, as if the person who just said that she was still useful was not her.

"Roar!!!"

Dozens of beast hounds raised their heads and howled at the same time. The sharp roars made Ying feel that the ground beneath her feet was shaking.

Ying looked at the many hounds in front of her that regarded her as prey, and a dark look flashed in her eyes.

To be honest, when dealing with one, two, or even three beast hounds at the same time...Ying can still remain unscathed.

But facing these dozens of beast hounds... I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do that.

"...Is it possible to postpone exploring the ruins..."

Ying tightened his grip on the edgeless sword and thought quickly about how to escape with the lowest cost.

But unlike what she had imagined, these beast hounds seemed to have some kind of command consciousness. They all disappeared from the spot and dived into the space cracks again.

Seeing this scene, Ying's eyes widened slightly, as if she realized something was wrong.

Monsters like the Beast Hound...they appear in groups, which can only be a large Beast Hound with two or even three small ones.

The innate strong aggressiveness of the Beast Realm Hounds means that they will not appear in groups of three or five after they grow up, let alone in the same state as they are now.

Thinking of this, Ying's heart trembled slightly, and then she grabbed Paimon beside her and ran towards the exit of the ruins.

——Instead of getting injured here and becoming a burden to the team, it would be better to wait until Villette comes and explore together.

However, before Ying could take a few steps, a beast claw flashing with cold light emerged from the space crack in front of Ying, and then grabbed Paimeng without hesitation.

"Ugh!"

Paimon was so frightened by the claw that he quickly closed his eyes, like a salted fish that would never resist.

But the imagined stinging pain did not come, which made Paimon slowly open his eyes. He saw Ying holding the edgeless sword in one hand and fighting against the beast hound, while holding Paimon in the other hand and running forward.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Ying had to face the siege of dozens of adult beast hounds alone, while also taking Paimeng's safety into consideration.

This means...Ying has to face more than twenty claws with one fist.

The exhausting escape and the occasional confrontations consumed a lot of Ying's physical strength, and soon her reaction speed slowed down.

At this moment, a dark beast claw stretched out from the space crack behind her. Just when it was about to catch Ying, a water-blue beam of light fell from the sky.

boom--

The beast hound that attacked Ying struggled painfully in the turbulent water elemental force, but before it could even utter a howl, it was completely destroyed by the continuous beam of light.

With the death of the beast hound, a tall blue figure flashed across the sky.

He lightly tapped the ground with the sea-blue cane in his hand, and the water elements in the air instantly began to condense into countless small water droplets, which then shot out towards the beast hounds.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Are you okay?"

Looking at the tall figure standing in front of the two of them, Paimon, who was originally a little scared, suddenly became excited, as if he saw some hope.

"That Villette! You're finally here!"

Navilette, who was named, turned his head slightly, nodded lightly, and began to control the water element in this space. A complex elemental magic circle suddenly appeared in front of him.

As he tapped the ground lightly with the staff in his hand, an elemental wave stronger than before emanated from the magic circle.

The next moment, a beam of water-blue light gushed out from the magic circle, and in just a moment it completely wiped out the beast hound that was originally chasing Ying.

Although Vilette is not a complete dragon now, his combat power level is close to the top in the continent of Teyvat. Killing a few dogs is easy for him.

As those beast hounds turned into ashes and dissipated, the complex elemental magic circle in front of Villette also disappeared.

He turned around and looked at Ying who was leaning against the wall to adjust her breathing, and asked with some doubt:

"Traveler, I remember... you fought against that Thunder General when you were in Inazuma. Why...?"

That Villette did not ask any further, he believed Ying could understand what he meant.

Ying pointed at Paimon symbolically, then pointed to the depths of the ruins and said:

"We need to speed up our exploration of the ruins. The water here... has been polluted by the fetal sea water."

Villette was stunned at first, then a look of understanding flashed between his brows. Then he nodded and walked into the ruins first.
