Genshin Impact [Outsider]

"Xiao Lin Qian, slow down..."

As the damaged cargo ship approached the shore, several drifting crew members slowly walked down, and the child at the front seemed particularly happy.

"We are finally back to land, Mom and Dad!" Xiao Lin Qian stepped on solid land after a long time and couldn't contain her excitement.

"Slow down, Xiao Linqian, listen to your daddy and don't run around!"

A couple and two sailors also got off the boat. They looked around in confusion because this was an area they had never set foot in.

"I didn't expect that there is another continent after crossing the border of the Divine Sea. It seems that our understanding of the world needs to be further improved!"

A sailor took out a nautical map and compared it, then marked a border in the east.

"It is precisely because we are unfamiliar with this place that we should be more careful. Among more than a dozen cargo ships, only our small boat arrived here..."

The man looked dazed, his face full of wrinkles.

The sailor also fell silent. He slowly turned around and looked at the sea, clenching his fists.

“Damn it… We shouldn’t have listened to the old captain and insisted on breaking into the border of the Divine Sea!”

"Shuiying, how are you?" The man supported the woman and patted her back gently.

"I'm fine. Take good care of Xiao Linxi and don't let the child get lost..."

Shuiying was the only one among them who suffered from seasickness, and the long voyage had already made her exhausted and her physical condition was deteriorating.

As if she had been bored for too long, Xiao Lin Qian ran around on the beach as soon as she got off the boat, and seemed to be interested in everything.

"Captain Lin, what should we do next?"

"First, take down all the goods that can still be used, and then look for any inhabited areas nearby."

Lin Ziru thought that if there were human footprints on this continent, then the situation would not be so bad.

At least they still have a chance. As long as they start over, everything will get better slowly.

"I understand." The sailor returned to the ship and began to search for usable tools and supplies and emptied the cargo ship.

Xiao Lin Qian was lying on the ground, observing the little crab intently. She quietly stretched out her claws, ready to pounce at any time.

But because of this, she raised her tail high. Lin Ziru came behind her and suddenly grabbed her tail with one hand, which scared Lin Qian so much that her whole body jumped up as if the hair stood on end.

Lin Ziru took advantage of the situation and lifted up Xiao Lin Qian's belt, hanging her in the air.

"Ah—a monster attacked me!"

Lin Ziru stared at Xiao Lin Xi helplessly and said, "If you continue to be so naughty, I will hang you on the sail for a day."

"I'm sorry, Dad. I will be good and obedient, hehe..."

When Xiao Lin Qian landed again, she clapped her hands and laughed, her eyes darting around.

It is a good thing that children are naturally playful, and most children with Katzline blood are even more so, which often gives adults a headache.

The Katzrhine bloodline, to put it simply, is one of the rare genetic bloodlines.

People with the blood of Ketzlän have a distinctive feature, that is, they have cat ears and tails like a cat.

After packing up the cargo ship, the two sailors accompanied Lin Ziru to search the surrounding area. Apart from the rainforest, there was almost no flat land nearby.

As you go deeper, you will gradually go uphill. The road there is very steep, and the last section is like a cliff, making it difficult to move forward.

The only thing I found was a tampered tree trunk.

Lin Ziru carefully observed the red mark carved on the tree trunk, then looked around and found that there was indeed a hidden trap near the tree trunk.

He carefully cleared the leaves that covered the trap, and a sharp spike and a ring appeared before his eyes.

Seeing this trap, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"This trap is recorded in the hunting books of the Katzlein family. It is a deadly trap specifically targeting bipedal creatures..."

This means that there is indeed human activity nearby, but it is still unclear whether it is friend or foe.

"Captain Lin, what should we do... It seems that this place is full of dangers."

A sailor stared at the sharp spikes and couldn't help swallowing.

After drifting on the ocean for many years, he has long been accustomed to the darkness of human nature, and he also understands that many people will try their best to defeat you even if they have no grudges against you.

Another sailor suggested: "I think we'd better change the coast to land. The unknown dangers here are too great and not worth our risk."

The long period of wandering has already exhausted them physically and mentally. Given their current condition, they should indeed try their best to avoid possible dangers.

Lin Ziru nodded and agreed to their proposal.

"Then let's go back as soon as possible, stay on the shore tonight, and leave by boat early the next morning."

The three of them left the rainforest and walked towards the shore where they came from.

On the top of a tree at the trap, a man in black was crouching quietly, witnessing the entire conversation between the three people.

"The prey is coming..."

Shui Ying saw the three people returning and was about to walk up to them to inquire about the situation when she noticed Lin Ziru's solemn expression.

She didn't ask about the situation immediately because she had more or less guessed some possibilities from Lin Ziru's expression.

"Shuiying, have a good rest tonight, and we'll go ashore at another place tomorrow."

Lin Ziru didn't say much, but just told her the result simply and clearly.

Shui Ying just nodded and said, "Then let's just set up two tents and take a rest. There is some dry food to fill your stomach and you can eat it later."

"Well, let's do it."

Lin Ziru and two sailors began to build the tent, while Shuiying started a fire with the dry firewood she had picked up.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xiao Linxi ran to Shuiying and watched her hand movements carefully.

“Make a fire and boil the food so it tastes better.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Linxi still wants her mother to play hide-and-seek with her."

Shui Ying gently touched Xiao Linxi's head and continued, "Mom will play with you later, okay?"

Xiao Linqian's ears, which had been drooping, lifted up again and she smiled happily, "It's a deal, mom, if you lie to me... my ears won't stand up straight for the whole day!"

"It's a word."

Xiao Lin Qian was wandering around alone. She had almost explored the beach and now her curiosity had shifted to the rainforest.

"Should we go explore the big forest? Should we..."

At this moment, a man in black appeared at the edge of the rainforest. He was half squatting and staring at Xiao Lin Qian quietly.

Xiao Lin Qian also noticed his presence and began to look at the man in black curiously.

The man in black slowly stretched out his hand, and a shiny pearl appeared in his hand. He then motioned to Xiao Lin Qian to take it.

Xiao Lin Qian's attention was successfully attracted by the sparkling pearl. Without thinking much, she immediately ran towards the man in black.

By the time Shuiying noticed the man in black, it was too late. Xiaolin Qian was only a few steps away from him.

"Is it for me?" Xiao Lin Qian looked at the man in black in front of her and asked, pointing at the pearl in his hand.

The man in black nodded silently and handed the pearl to her.

"Xiao Lin Qian, run!"

Shui Ying shouted in panic and quickly took out a hunting bow from her side. Lin Ziru and the sailor realized something was wrong and immediately prepared for battle.

Just as Xiao Lin Qian turned her head to look at Shui Ying, the man in black flashed and landed a palm on Xiao Lin Qian's neck.

She felt her eyes go dark and her whole body fell down.

The man in black held up Xiao Lin Qian's body, picked her up and quickly fled.

"Let my daughter go!" Shuiying didn't hesitate at all and followed the man in black into the rainforest.

"Ying'er, don't be impulsive..." Lin Ziru took the hunting bow and chased after him with the sailor.

The man in black moved quickly in front and soon disappeared into the deep forest and from Shuiying's sight.

The surrounding woods were trembling, and Shuiying's cat ears slightly moved. After noticing the movement, she immediately chased after it.

But she soon lost the figure, and when she came to her senses, she was surrounded by a sea of ​​trees and had no idea where she was.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Shuiying: "Do you want her life, or your own life?"

Shuiying turned around and saw the man in black who had held Xiao Lin Qian hostage standing opposite her.

"Give Xiao Lin Qian back to me!" Shui Ying pulled the bowstring and approached the man in black step by step.

"Do you have the ability to do that?" The man in black lifted Xiao Lin Xi's neck and put a dagger on it.

"Stop! Don't hurt her, please, don't hurt my child..."

Shuiying put down her weapon, stared at the man in black nervously, and slowed down her pace.

"So, you chose her fate, big kitty."

As the man in black finished speaking, the surrounding woods moved, a valve sounded, and a spear shot out from the side and attacked Shuiying.

In panic, Shui Ying took a half step back with her left foot, and her body brushed past the spear at an angle.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly made a loud noise, and a sharp spike directly pierced Shuiying's left ankle.

The screams echoed in the rainforest. The intense pain caused Shuiying to kneel down on her left leg, and blood continued to flow from her ankle.

"Why..." Shui Ying stared at the man in black unwillingly, slowly stretched out her hand, and shouted tremblingly: "Don't hurt my child..."

The man in black came to Shuiying, kicked away the bow and arrow beside her, squatted down and said: "I will take care of this child until she grows up."

Before Shuiying could speak again, the man in black stood up first, took out a flying needle from his waist and stabbed it into Shuiying's skin.

As the poison spread, Shui Ying could no longer hold on and slowly collapsed to the ground, her consciousness gradually becoming blurred...

Lin Ziru and the other two failed to catch up with Shui Ying and lost her trail in the rainforest. At this moment, they had no idea where they were.

In the dark, bows and arrows had already been aimed at them, silently waiting for the opportunity.

A sailor was just about to search the tree trunk next to him when an arrow pierced through the leaves and hit him directly in the chest.

With a muffled groan, the sailor fell to the ground. Seeing this, Lin Ziru immediately crouched down and shouted, "There's an ambush!"

Before the other sailor could react, another sharp arrow shot out and pierced his heart accurately from the back.

As the sailor fell, Lin Ziru rolled and hid behind a tree trunk, alert to the direction from which the arrow was flying.

"Damn it, Shuiying, please don't get into any trouble..." Lin Ziru took a deep breath, pinched himself hard, and forced himself to calm down.

Lin Ziru did not dare to be careless at all. If he wanted to leave alive, he had to find and kill the person who attacked him in secret.

He knew clearly that if he was not careful he would die here, after all, those who attacked him secretly really wanted to kill him.

Lin Ziru adjusted his state, drew the bowstring, and moved his body slightly to the outside, trying to lure the person in the dark to attack.

Just as his entire arm was exposed from his left side, an arrow shot out from somewhere in the rainforest.

After hearing the sound, Lin Ziru quickly leaned out from the right side and shot an arrow towards the opposite side without any hesitation.

He quickly put the second arrow on, then rushed out from behind the tree trunk and headed towards the other side where he could hide.

Another arrow was shot out from the darkness and flew towards Lin Ziru from behind.

When he noticed the movement, he turned quickly, drew his bow and released it instantly, directly hitting the oncoming arrow.

The two arrows collided with each other, and the arrow bodies shattered instantly and flew to both sides. At this moment, a tiny silver needle also crossed Lin Ziru's face.

"hidden weapon……"

Lin Ziru covered his face. The needle was shot out along with the arrow, which also proved that there was more than one enemy surrounding him.

Lin Ziru hid behind another tree trunk, wiped the wound, and breathed heavily.

When his vision became blurred, he realized something was wrong and couldn't help but sigh: "Even the silver needles have to be poisoned..."

"At least, we have to clear out some of Ying'er's enemies!" Lin Ziru held the hunting bow firmly. He stood up, slowly took out the arrow, and then walked out from behind the tree trunk.

He drew the bow and drew the arrow. At the same time as the arrow was shot out from the dark, the arrow in Lin Ziru's hand shot out and almost missed the arrow from the opposite side.

The arrow hit Lin Ziru's arm. He just took half a step back to stabilize his body, then gritted his teeth to break the arrow on his arm, and pulled the string again.

His vision became increasingly blurred, and the objects he observed began to shake and split, but he still persisted, always alert to any movement around him.

Another arrow was shot from the darkness beside him. Lin Ziru quickly adjusted his posture and faced the arrow head-on while also shooting an arrow.

"The honor of the Katzlein family will never be trampled upon!" Lin Ziru was hit by an arrow in the chest, but he didn't care at all.

There was finally no movement around, and Lin Ziru slowly walked towards the place where the arrow was shot. In the hidden jungle, he found the body with the head shot.

There was no doubt that the previous two arrows had hit the target. He was the winner of this attack and the only survivor.

"Ying'er, you must not get into any trouble..."

Lin Ziru finally couldn't hold on any longer, his body leaned back, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Is this... the end..." Lin Ziru slowly closed his eyes and shed a tear unwillingly.

"I don't want to fall yet, I still want to protect you..."

As Lin Ziru lost consciousness, a faint light quietly appeared and swirled around his body...
