Genshin Impact [Outsider]

As the Eye of God was touched, a turbulent current instantly tore through the darkness, and countless broken lights and shadows burst forth.

The spatial dimensions were as chaotic and intertwined as a kaleidoscope. Su Li was swept into the torrent in the disorderly changes, and her figure disappeared.

In an instant, everything changed again...

"Hey, Suli! What's going on all of a sudden?"

As the voice reached his ears, Su Li suddenly came back to his senses and looked around.

This is the outskirts of Star City, a city of extinction.

Everything has been reduced to ruins, even the stronghold that took months to build no longer exists.

"No, it's okay..."

Su Li shook her head, but her expression was still a little dazed.

"I'm glad you're alright. Get ready quickly. We may have a tough battle to fight later."

Hotpot took out a wine jug and handed it to Su Li, and continued: "There is still one mouthful left, drink it."

Su Li took the wine jug and drank the empty sand wine in one gulp. She looked much more relaxed.

Is it because of the long backlog?

Su Li always felt a little tired. Looking at the crumbling star tower, he couldn't help but sigh.

Hotpot also sat down next to Su Li and followed Su Li's gaze towards the Star Tower.

"A lot of things happened while you were away..."

Hotpot untied the bandage on his left wrist, revealing the bruised wound, then took out a dagger and started bleeding.

"I remember that it was a year ago when you went to Sand City."

Su Li nodded and responded: "We have all been through a lot, whether in Xingji or in Sand City..."

"Hey! Don't think about these sad things." After treating the wound, Hotpot re-bandaged it, and moved his arm, saying, "As long as we can get through this, everything will be fine!"

Su Li glanced at Hotpot's injured arm, sighed and asked, "Are you sure you don't need me to heal you?"

It’s not that Su Li didn’t want to help him treat his wounds, but he had already declined Su Li’s kindness before.

Hotpot stretched his muscles carelessly and said with a smile: "Do I look like I need help? It's just a minor injury, don't worry!"

Su Li shook her head helplessly and turned to look at the end of the Star City ruins.

"Are they...really going to be there?"

After leaving the desert, Su Li returned to the base they had previously established, but it had already been burned down and everyone had disappeared.

The Star City was reduced to ruins, with only the ruined Star City Tower standing alone. Over a year later, the Star Era had already changed dramatically...

Fortunately, a space turbulence suddenly surged around Star City. Just as Su Li rushed over to check, the hot pot was thrown out from the turbulence.

The two of them reunited after a long separation. When Hotpot first saw Su Li, he thought he had reached heaven, only to see Su Li who had turned into a ghost.

The two of them made a big fuss because of this, and Su Li had no choice but to fight with Hotpot. When Hotpot was defeated in the end, he finally believed that he was still alive, and Su Li was also still alive.

After the Demon Shadow attacked the group heading to the Sand Region, the survivors of Xingji all thought that Su Li had died.

Even though the Shadow is so powerful, it is still wary of their every move, and the survivors can only find other ways to fight against the Shadow.

During this year, the Shadow Demon invaded the stronghold many times and brought countless monsters to attack the survivors.

The Star City became a ruin because of the power of the sword swung by Mo Ying when he fought Bing Ji.

It was also at that time that Hotpot was sucked into the gate of time and space by the magic shadow. He only felt that he was trapped inside for a few hours, but when he finally left, nearly half a year had passed in the outside world.

Several letters were left in the wreckage of the stronghold, which briefly recorded the current situation of Xingji and future plans.

The casualties of Xingji are getting more and more serious. In order to better resist the sudden attacks of the Demon Shadow, the survivors choose to go to the Cliff of the Sea of ​​Dust and put their backs to the sea.

According to Hotpot, many of the earliest mutated Desperate People have undergone secondary mutations, and the threat level has increased exponentially.

Looking at the Star City in front of him, Su Li no longer knew whether it was worth it to stay here and fight to the death with the Demon Shadow.

The impact of this war, regardless of win or loss, is irreversible.

"As long as they hold on during this time, nothing will happen."

Hotpot was not sure either. After all, no one could predict what would happen in the past six months. It was also unknown whether there were any survivors on this continent besides them.

Su Li was silent. In this wasteland, she couldn't make a conclusion without seeing it with her own eyes. Su Li could only hold on to a glimmer of hope and try to search for their traces.

"When do we leave?"

The two of them have been living here in the open air for several days. Su Li has also collected enough information during this time and is ready to set off at any time.

Hotpot seemed to be unable to hold back and responded, "Well...if you don't want to stay, then take action tonight."

What he cared about was not the survivors, but only Princess Mumu.

Su Li decided to go this time because of the little princess and Muchen. Apart from them, he didn't have many familiar friends in Xingji.

"Well, let's set off tonight." Su Li nodded, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest his body.

It’s not that the two don’t want to take action sooner rather than later, it’s just that those desperate people have become too annoying.

Furthermore, because the Demon Shadow brought a large number of monsters, rash actions might attract even more terrifying enemies, so the two generally would not go out during the day.

The source of food is fishing and wild fruits. Whether or not one can eat fish depends entirely on luck. However, for Su Li, everything is acceptable so far.

On the contrary, I can’t accept hotpot, so I spend several hours every day soaking in the water, and occasionally I can catch a few big fish.

The fish at Xingji are all plump and delicious, with rich soup. Hotpot is a restaurant for fish lovers, so Su Li was able to experience Xingji’s special grilled fish and fresh fish soup.

Every time they ate, the two would sit around the iron pot, eat the fish first, and then drink a bowl of fresh soup.

Although the appearance and color were a bit average, the two of them did not mind. After all, it was not easy to have a hot meal under such circumstances.

Regardless of whether they can eat fish or not, they will put up an iron pot and find some side dishes to cook soup. In short, they must drink fresh soup every day.

However, the two of them only ate one meal a day, and they usually ate around noon. If they were really hungry at other times, Su Li would find a way to get some fruits to fill their stomachs.

When surviving in the wild, the most important things are food and safety, both are indispensable.

As long as Su Li and Hotpot maintain these two points, they can survive for a long time.

Unfortunately, the only remaining pot of wine in the hot pot has been completely finished, so I don’t have the chance to have a sip to satisfy my craving occasionally.

It will be very uncomfortable if you get the urge to drink hot pot now.

As night was approaching, Su Li and Hotpot simply packed their luggage and headed towards the Cliff of the Sea of ​​Dust.

When crossing the sea of ​​ruins, you can see dried blood everywhere, the broken limbs are shocking, and the scratches on the damaged walls are also horrifying.

What happened here is still vivid in their minds. The two did not observe the surroundings too much, but just moved forward in silence.

The temperature was gradually dropping in the cool air. Hotpot sneezed, rubbed his nose and cursed: "This damn weather, it's getting cold too quickly!"

The current temperature is still adaptable for Su Li, but I didn’t expect this big guy to be so sensitive to temperature.

The hot pot stretched his muscles, a red light appeared on his training clothes, and a slightly warm breath gradually emanated from it.

"Much more comfortable, haha..."

The current temperature is unbearable. Su Li can't imagine how miserable he would be if he were to face the ice pole.

Su Li only felt like there was a large-sized heating pad beside her, and smiled helplessly, "Hurry up and get going."

The sky was completely dark, and the two had to slow down their pace.

It is pitch dark now, and you have to be careful with your steps when walking. The only disadvantage of walking in the dark is that you can't see the road clearly.

But what was interesting was that the red light on Hotpot became more and more obvious, and at this moment he looked like a fluorescent black shadow, with tiny shadows lingering around, and it became funnier and funnier as it moved.

Su Li was completely hidden in the darkness, and the hot pot was like a walker against the light, the only source of light in the ruins.

Although this allowed him to barely see the road ahead, it also made him extremely conspicuous and easily noticed by enemies hiding in the darkness.

This was proved to be the case. Not long after, sporadic footsteps were heard around them, followed by pairs of blood-red eyes slowly appearing, staring at the two of them.

"Maybe traveling at night isn't such a good idea..."

Su Li stretched out his right hand, and the Xingli Flower Blade took shape. A faint light appeared, showing a perfect star shadow in the dark night.

Hotpot also agreed: "It's really not as good as daytime in the dark."

Then the whole body of the hot pot was engulfed in flames, the fire knife appeared, and the surrounding darkness was instantly dispelled.

The desperate people hidden in the darkness revealed their true forms. They stared at the two men ferociously, growled, raised their claws and the blades in their hands and ran towards them.

"Quick victory!"

Su Li's figure flashed out in an instant, and disappeared again after a sword shadow was slashed out.

Each of Su Li's sword strikes was precise and deadly, hitting the enemy's vital points directly.

Hotpot exclaimed: "Wow, you are so fast! I guess I can't practice swordplay with you anymore."

He raised his fire knife to meet the desperate man, shouted loudly, and smashed the knife at an enemy, chopping him into meat paste.

The Desperate Man attacked the hot pot from the side. He just grinned, slid and turned his body, danced the fire knife, and a flaming arc blade suddenly appeared, directly cutting the surrounding enemies in half.

The flower blade was sheathed, Su Li slightly lowered her body, and the moment the desperate man rushed towards her, the flower blade came out, and several sword shadows slashed out, directly crushing the enemy.

Looking at the desperate people who turned into pus, Su Li knew that they were no longer human beings. For them, the only salvation was death.

In just a moment, all the enemies were defeated and the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Su Li found two wooden sticks and burned the hot pot. Without stopping for too long, the two of them followed the fire and went straight through the sea of ​​ruins.

"Brother, your martial arts skills are improving too fast. It seems that I am completely out of reach..."

The two slowed down as they were about to cross the ruins of Star City, and Hotpot had time to chat.

Su Li shook her head and replied, "I'm still a long way from that. I'm not strong enough to fight against the Demon Shadow right now..."

Hotpot patted Su Li on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. With your growth rate, you will soon surpass that stinky woman. Wouldn't it be easy to beat her then?"

Su Li smiled bitterly and shook her head: "We should not be too optimistic. We must always be prepared to lose everything."

Hotpot suppressed his smile, nodded and responded: "You are right, we have to hurry, the princess is still waiting for my protection!"

"As long as the ice pole is still there, there is no need to worry."

Su Li still vaguely remembers the terrifying power of Bing Ji. Half of the credit for Xing Ji's survival from being destroyed comes from Bing Ji.

That being said, Su Li was also very confused. They had been apart for too long. If they met again, he didn't know if he would be the same as before...

After the disaster in the Sand Region ended, Su Li spent nearly half a year redeeming himself. He had sealed too many memories in his heart.

He could no longer recall much of the past in the Sand Region, and the past in the Star Era seemed as far away as a lifetime ago.

"Yeah, you too! Ever since the little princess thought you left, she has never been in high spirits again..."

Hotpot sighed, as if there was a pent-up emotion that had nowhere to be released.

He spotted a stone nearby, rushed forward and kicked it away, then jumped up and took out a big knife to smash it into pieces.

After landing, Hotpot spat, put away his weapon, clenched his fists and looked up at the sky.

"Damn it, when will this damn apocalypse end?"

This time it was Su Li's turn to pat Hotpot's shoulder and console him: "It will happen sooner or later... for sure."

After venting his emotions, Hotpot became cheerful again. He laughed and walked forward quickly.

Hotpot suddenly turned around and said to Su Li: "Su, you are the most special person I have ever met. To be honest, I was very dissatisfied when I lost to you."

Su Li smiled and asked, "So that's why you've been wanting to fight me again?"

Hotpot grinned: "I did want to fight with you a few more times before, but later I let it go. Fighting with you won't make me unhappy! Haha..."

As they were about to leave the ruins of Star City, Su Li asked, "Where should we go to find them from now on?"

Hotpot pointed to the seaside and replied, "Go that way. When you get to the end, cross the flyover and you'll reach the Dust Sea Cliff. Then you can slowly search for it!"

Su Li understood, thought for a moment and then asked: "So the Dust Sea Cliff is not just a cliff?"

"It has never been a cliff. It's not much smaller than Star City. It's just too close to the sea and too dangerous, so it was given this name."

Hotpot clapped his hands, covered his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry..."

Su Li took out two wild fruits from her pocket and threw them to Hotpot.

"There's still some fruit left from the evening. Here!"

Hotpot took the wild fruit, wiped it casually and took a bite. The wild fruit seemed much smaller under his palm, and he could only take three bites to eat one.

After eating about four or five, Hotpot was still not satisfied and used a thin needle to pick a gap between his teeth.

"It would be great if I could find a sand pig. I haven't tasted one in a while!"
