Genshin Impact [Outsider]

Chapter 12 The crisis is coming

The girl reacted and quickly explained: "Ah, don't worry, my horse is not stolen, it's ours, don't worry..."

Su Li smiled and said, "Little Boss, how old are you?"

The girl counted on her fingers and thought for a while, then answered, "Well... eighteen!"

Su Li deliberately moved closer, "Are you really eighteen?"

The girl's face suddenly turned red. She looked at the boy in front of her and nodded slightly, "Well, although I don't look like it, I am really an adult! You will believe it, right..."

"Haha, since you said so, then just be eighteen."

Su Li looked at the little guy in front of her who was only 1.5 meters tall and couldn't help but smile.

When the girl saw Su Li laughing happily, she hurriedly took the receipt to cover her blushing face.

"Guest, stop teasing me..."

"Excuse me, since I have already paid for your little black horse, it is fate, so let's just consider it as making a friend."

"Ah... well, actually it already has its own name, Mo Bai. Although it is your right to name it..."

The girl took Su Li back to the stall and led the horse out of the makeshift stable.

"Mo Bai?... He's obviously a dark horse. From now on, I'll call him Xiao Hei."

Su Li touched Xiao Hei and quickly got on the horse. Su Li hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, so he was still a little uncomfortable.

After adjusting his sitting position and trying a few simple commands, Xiao Hei was able to respond in time, so Su Li nodded in satisfaction.

"Also, what's your name, little boss?"

The girl lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before answering: "I... I am a horse merchant. Others call me a horse merchant."

Su Li frowned slightly, "I'm asking for your real name."

The girl was a little surprised. She looked up at Su Li and answered dully, "Mu...Mu Chen."

Su Li then smiled and said, "Mu Chen, what a good name. I'll remember it. My name is Su Li. See you again if we're lucky enough."

After Su Li finished speaking, she rode away on her horse, leaving Mu Chen standing there in a daze.

"Suri... This is the first time I've seen such a strange person."

The girl's heart seemed to beat faster, not sure if it was because it was the first time she made such a large sum of money, or because of the boy who just left.

Su Li quickly left the Sand Village and rode his horse towards the royal city.

The royal family left in a carriage last night, and Su Li estimated that she would be able to arrive shortly after they returned to the royal city.

The sky was grey and it might rain at any time.

Su Li looked up at the sky, feeling a little worried, "I really hope we can reach Star City before it rains."

But not surprisingly, it started to rain heavily just halfway through the journey.

Su Li had no choice but to find a shady spot under a tree to shelter from the rain. After settling the horse, Su Li began to meditate under the shade of the tree.

"I don't know when the rain will stop..."

Su Li looked helplessly at the gloomy sky through the green shade, and from time to time two drops of rain hit her face.

"Oh, I don't know how they are doing..." Su Li closed her eyes and listened to the sound of rain hitting the leaves.

“I didn’t expect Xingji to grow a forest in a place like this.”

……

Muchen led the two horses back home, shielding herself from the rain with her hands and ran into the house. Even though she was soaked to the skin, she still smiled happily.

"Mom, I sold a horse today and made a million! We can finally..."

Mu Chen opened the rotten door, and the smile on his face froze...

"Mother……"

……

Drop of rain after drop hit Yan Wu's helmet. He raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky.

"Brothers, don't let them get close to Xingji territory!"

"Yes!"

All the defenders stood in a row, holding sharp spears and in sharp armor.

"Defend Satellite Era to the death!"

"Yes--!"

……

The steamed bun shop owner looked at the sky and said, "Ah... why is it raining? This is not a good sign..."

A pedestrian staggered in the heavy rain. He seemed like he would fall if he was not careful. He walked slowly, with a faintly visible black and purple smoke emanating from his body.

The shop owner saw him and was afraid that he would accidentally fall to the ground, so he hurriedly took a sandpaper umbrella and walked over.

"Hey, are you okay? Did you drink too much sand wine..." The shop owner came to him and held up a sandpaper umbrella for him.

The pedestrian stood there in a daze, touching his head with one hand and saying, "I'm fine..."

As soon as he took a step, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Hey, are you okay?" The shop owner hurried forward to support him, but he pushed the shop owner away.

"Don't worry about me...ah——!" He suddenly curled up on the ground with his hands on his head, howling in pain.

The black energy on his body was gradually increasing, and his hands were also turning black rapidly...

……

Su Li had a bad feeling, and always had an inexplicable feeling. When she opened her eyes again, the heavy rain was still pouring down, and the horse was quietly standing by.

Suddenly, Su Li felt someone slowly approaching him. His sharp eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and a sword shadow gradually took shape in his right hand.

"... passer-by..." A voice came from beside Su Li, "Please, please..."

Su Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a royal guard covered in wounds slowly walking towards her.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground.

Su Li was shocked and hurried to him, "What happened?"

The guard finally grabbed Su Li's clothes with trembling hands, "Please...save...the young prince..."

A mouthful of blood spurted out again, his hand slowly let go of Su Li, and his body fell forward stiffly.

Su Li supported the guard and put her finger to the guard's nose. He was already dead...

Su Li stood up and looked at the blood on the ground in silence. "You are a warrior worthy of respect."

Su Li quickly mounted his horse and followed the blood trail into the depths of the forest.

The howling wind swept everything around, the falling rain mercilessly beat the branches and leaves, the world seemed to have fallen into darkness, and everything seemed dim and dull.

"If, if there is still time..." Su Li increased the speed of the horse, the horse's hooves stepped on the mud, and the muddy water splashed.

Soon, a figure appeared in front. Su Li squinted her eyes and looked carefully. She saw a masked man emitting black energy and scratching the bark desperately with both hands.

"Treasure-stealing group?" Su Li was a little surprised. "Why are they here..."

Su Li didn't believe that a mere group of treasure-stealing people could hijack the royal carriage, and even less did she believe that they could defeat the royal guards who possessed the Eye of God.

This strange member of the treasure-hunting group noticed the sound of horse hooves. He slowly turned his head and stared at Su Li with his eyes fixed.

Su Li was a little shocked. He shook his head and looked carefully at the treasure-stealing group to make sure he was not mistaken.

That treasure-stealing group has no eyes...

To be precise, his eyes were covered in black and purple, and his neck and arms were covered with black meridians.

He roared and rushed towards Su Li frantically.

Su Li's right hand turned into a blade, and the horse's hooves stepped past the treasure-stealing group, and the shadow blade cut off his neck.

Su Li did not look back and moved forward in the direction where the blood was spilled. Although the rain had washed away most of the blood, Su Li was sure that he was not far from his goal.

Sure enough, Su Li came to a hidden path, surrounded by blood and corpses. Su Li stopped the horse and stepped down.

Looking at the devastation in front of him, Su Li touched Xiao Hei's head. "Wait for me here."

Su Li went alone to search the surrounding area following the corpses and carriage fragments. Along the way, Su Li saw too many tragic scenes.

There were guards, royal family members, and people emitting black aura.

……

"Protect the little princess!"

The royal guard gasped and stabbed the sharp blade into the enemy under his feet. Looking at his brothers who had died all over the ground, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Come on, I want you to pay with your lives!"

The enemies were approaching from all sides, and the imperial guards who were still able to fight were falling down one after another.

Looking at the enemies emitting black energy, all the warriors gritted their teeth in anger and shouted, "Kill these monsters!"

The royal guards surrounded the little princess and did their best to protect her.

The little princess collapsed in the heavy rain, watching more and more people sacrifice themselves to protect themselves, and she couldn't help bursting into tears.

"It's all my fault. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

The little princess cried sadly and kept apologizing. Her tears mixed with the rain and slid down her face. She also cried and defeated Li Hua...

The guards killed the enemies in front of them, but they kept appearing and it seemed that they could never be killed.

Gradually, more and more guards became exhausted, and the enemy broke through the defense line, killing one guard after another.

The bodies of the brutally murdered guards were gradually infected by the black energy...

A guard looked at everything in front of him in despair, looking at his comrades who were gradually transforming. He roared with all his might,

"Asshole! Don't even think about touching my brother!"

He rushed forward, stabbed the enemy in front of him with a sword, and then used all his strength to kick the enemy away.

He knelt beside his dead comrades, his tears mixed with blood staining the ground.

"I'm sorry... forgive me!" He slowly raised his sword and stabbed it into the heart of the transformed comrade's corpse.

The transformation stopped with this attack, and the black energy on the comrades gradually dissipated.

"God, save us..."

He looked up at the sky in despair. At this moment, he was no longer able to raise his weapon...

An enemy slowly came up to him and picked up a long blade from the ground.

He slowly shifted his gaze towards the enemy, and his pupils slowly contracted.

"Captain... Captain." With tears and blood streaming down his face, he slowly took off his helmet, "We, lost..."

The captain he mentioned had eyes wrapped in purple-black aura, and his body was also emitting black aura. There was a bloody bite wound on his neck, and in addition to the meridians on his arms, there were many scratches.

The captain slowly raised his long blade, kicked him down, and stepped on his chest.

He slowly closed his eyes, "I'm sorry, little princess... I couldn't..."

The sharp blade pierced through his body, and blood gushed out...

The imperial guards had lost their fighting capacity. They watched in despair as their fallen comrades turned into enemies and took up weapons against the brothers with whom they had fought side by side.

The little princess sobbed as the heavy rain drenched her body mercilessly.

At this moment, her petite and thin figure seemed even smaller and more helpless.

Countless imperial guards fell before her, and countless enemies stood up in front of her...
