Chapter 16 Wonderful Journey (6)(1/2)
After picking up a few windmills growing wildly beside the trees, Bai Qiyun and Bennett prepared to head to the next location.
But should I say it, it is indeed a free country, even flowers grow so freely.
In order to pick flowers just now, Bai Qiyun almost put his head under the water. The place where they grew was really weird.
The two of them sat under the tree, and Bai Qiyun took out a map to compare their current positions.
"We are here now."
"right."
"We'll go there soon."
"right."
"But isn't it a thousand miles apart?"
Bai Qiyun couldn't help but have a headache when he looked at the almost diagonal distance on the map.
Although he was a little slow, Bennett also realized that something was wrong.
This distance cannot be returned in one day. It is already afternoon, and it will take most of the day just to get there. Even if it doesn't take time to pick berries, it will still be late at night before returning to Mondstadt.
"Is there any quick way to move?"
Bai Qiyun looked around, trying to find a carriage parked in the wilderness.
But he was disappointed. Under such a bright sun, there would be no one parked on the roadside, because they didn't want to be heated to death.
"Maybe not."
Bennett, a local, didn't know what to do.
If there is a team of businessmen around, that's fine. If not, you can only walk slowly on your feet.
"Eh? Is that someone over there?"
On the other side of the river, Bai Qiyun seemed to see someone being beaten by Qiuqiu people, but it was too far away and he couldn't see clearly.
Hearing this, Bennett followed him and looked over there.
"It seems like it's true! Let's go over there and help!"
The two packed up and hurried across the river towards the scene of the incident.
"Hey, stop fighting, stop fighting, all my goods are gone."
Croni, who was squatting on the ground, felt heartbroken as he looked at the goods he had thrown into the water.
Compared to his goods, the pain of being beaten by Qiuqiu people is nothing to mention.
However, if this continues, I'm afraid it's not just his goods that will be thrown into the water, he will also be thrown into the river to feed the slimes.
"stop!"
Seeing the tragic condition of the victim, Bennett, who had a strong sense of justice, shouted from 800 meters away.
Trying to attract the other person's attention to protect the person squatting on the ground.
It’s just that for some reason, the Qiuqiu people who are usually easily affected by sounds seemed to be deaf at this moment. They completely ignored Bennett’s shouts and just turned over the goods wholeheartedly, and then threw the goods in their hands into the water.
Here, take the opportunity to beat up Granny who is squatting on the ground.
"Damn it, these guys."
Now Bennett wishes he had hundreds of bouncing bombs to blow up all these guys.
Of course, you have to consider the victim and not be so reckless.
Although Bennett was already running very fast, Bai Qiyun's A204 was one step faster than him.
Glass bottles containing purple powder exploded at the water's edge.
Several Qiuqiu people standing in the water lost consciousness instantly. The overflowing thunder element came into contact with the water surface and caused an electromagnetic reaction.
Except for a few Qiuqiu and Granny on the shore, all the remaining Qiuqiu people were controlled by the electromagnetic effect, and their whole bodies could not stop twitching.
"Well done, Brother Bai!"
At this time, Bennett had also arrived, and the sword in his right hand was ignited with surging fire elements.
There is a faint star map flowing in the eyes of the fire attribute god.
It was as if the moves he had practiced thousands of times crossed the starry sky and blessed Bennett's body at this moment.
“Enthusiasm overload!”
The long sword wrapped in flames drew a brilliant haze in front of him.
The fiery red light hit several Qiuqiu people who were still able to move, and directly knocked them away.
After solving this side, Bennett extinguished the flame on his sword, and then turned his attention to several Qiuqiu people struggling in the water.
But before he could take action, Bai Qiyun on the other side had already thrown the A203 in his hand.
Compared with the previous A204, which used overflowing thunder elements to control the footsteps of these Qiuqiu people, the A203 focused more on lethality.
An extremely violent explosion directly knocked out several Qiuqiu people who were still lingering.
Of course, if you faint in the river, you can imagine the consequences.
"Thank you so much!"
After being rescued, Granny quickly thanked his two great benefactors.
Although the cargo was heavily damaged, at least the people were still there, and the most important cargo was still packed under the box and was not thrown into the water by the Qiuqiu people and washed away by the river.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's a trivial matter."
Today is really a good day for Bennett. First, there are teammates who are willing to follow him on the adventure, then he finds Mora in the treasure chest in the wild, and now he rescues a businessman who needs help.
Brother Bai is really his lucky star!!
Bai Qiyun looked at the balloon transport boat soaked in the water, and suddenly thought about whether he could use this to go to the Wangfeng Mountains.
"Um, uncle, do you still have any use for this balloon?"
Although he was a little embarrassed, Bai Qiyun still wanted to ask if he could sell this thing.
Moreover, he saw that there were only a few small boxes left in this box, and all the other goods had drifted away with the water. If he was transporting a few small boxes, there would be no need for such a large object.
"Ah? Balloon?"
Maybe he didn't expect the two of them to ask this, so Granny was stunned for a moment.
But then he waved his hand, "Why do I need this? I'm lucky to be alive. If I were really sunk and fed to crabs, what kind of balloons would I need? If my benefactor wants to use it, just take it."
Let’s go.”
In fact, what he didn't say was that compared to the item that was ordered, this tattered shipping balloon was really not even worth the cost.
Granny took out the remaining goods from the bottom warehouse and placed them beside him.
"Mr. Granny, let's give you another section."
They both felt a sense of indebtedness after taking away someone else's means of transport.
At the very least, we must prevent the other party from encountering any dangers on the remaining journey.
"Ah? No, no, no, my people are in front and will arrive soon. I'm very grateful for your help. How can I waste your time."
Upon hearing that the other party wanted to follow him, Granny quickly declined.
Seeing that the other party was so resolute, Bai Qiyun couldn't continue to rush to help him.
After rejecting Bai Qiyun's offer to buy Mora who transported the balloon, Granny walked towards the other side of Fengqi Land.
In the sight of the two of them, the figure became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
"Hey, I'm really embarrassed."
Bennett thought of the scene just now, and he always felt like he was trying to repay a favor.
And Bai Qiyun thought about the abnormal behavior of the Qiuqiu people just now, and he always felt that he had overlooked something.
There have been many recent incidents of the Qiuqiu tribe approaching Mondstadt. What is hidden behind this?
The more he thought about it, the less he understood.
But it's none of his business. Why would a Liyue traveler who doesn't even have the eyes of God interfere in Mondstadt's affairs?
There was no reason for him to intervene, not to mention his lack of ability.
"Brother Bai, how should I use this thing?"
Bennett spent a long time dragging the transport balloon out of the water.
The brazier that originally drove the hot air balloon into the air was now completely soaked in water and could not function at all.
Now if you want the balloon to fly, you have to find a replacement.
Seeing this difficult situation, Bai Qiyun set his sights on Bennett.
That look made Bennett feel dangerous.
