Chapter 17 Wonderful Journey (7)
As time passed bit by bit, the flying balloon the two of them were riding got closer and closer to Wangfeng Mountain.
Moreover, the further away from the place where the wind originates, the more rugged mountains there are, and the range they can see becomes narrower and narrower.
"Have Qiuqiu people's activities become more and more frequent recently?"
Looking at the Qiuqiu people dancing around the bonfire along the way, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but ask this question.
Although there are traces of Qiuqiu people's activities in Liyue, there are too many in Mondstadt, so much so that even if he wanted to hide from the Qiuqiu people, he couldn't.
Moreover, not only in the wild, there are also many Qiuqiu people active near the city of Mondstadt.
It's hard not to worry about what they will do next.
Bennett also sat up and nodded.
"Yes, the recent actions of the Qiuqiu people are really abnormal, but no one from the association is investigating this."
Because of the dragon plague, the Adventurers Association really can't recruit people. No, it would be better to say that the entire city of Mondstadt is now unable to recruit people because of the dragon plague.
Not long ago, Falga, the grand leader of the Knights of the West Wind, went on an expedition and took away about half of the knights' men.
From that time on, the Knights began to run out of staff, and that was just to maintain daily affairs.
In the current emergency situation, when it gets busy, it is basically a state where the top management is spinning around and the bottom level is helpless.
There is a scout knight with only one person, a cavalry captain with no cavalry, a witch who is tied up in the library by business. There is also a wave knight who is always wandering outside.
Now the mature and reliable Dandelion Knight only has a few available talents.
As for a certain alchemist and the little girl who always carries bombs, the former is really impossible to find, but the latter would be nice if it doesn't cause any trouble.
Presumably, the acting team leader also had a lot of headaches over this.
But all this is not what the two people who now have to ride other people's hot air balloons to go to Wangfeng Mountain know.
Now they only know that the people in Qiuqiu outside the city are acting abnormally, but no one in the city is investigating and dealing with it.
"But it seems like--"
Before Bai Qiyun finished speaking, a burst of strong wind elemental power surged over from a distance, interrupting his words.
--This is?!
Although it is not as strong as the wind elemental power driven by the wind demon dragon during the previous dragon disaster period, there is no doubt that this is not a level that ordinary people can emit.
No wonder, the Qiuqiu people who were everywhere along the way began to decrease when they arrived here.
They are very disgusted with an environment filled with such a high concentration of elemental power.
"Bennett, has the Adventurers Association recorded any dangerous wind elemental monsters around here?"
The balloons above their heads were also affected by the power of the wind element and began to flutter irregularly.
After realizing this, Bai Qiyun quickly reduced the number of reactants in the brazier to reduce the fire elemental power produced.
Otherwise, if you fall more than twenty meters, you will be severely disabled even if you don't die.
"No, I didn't hear that there was anything to pay attention to in Wangfeng Mountain when I was in the city."
Bennett held the goggles on his forehead with his hands and tried to increase his voice amidst the increasing wind noise.
After a while, the balloon slowly landed under Bai Qiyun's control.
"With this wind force, it seems we can only stop here."
The whistling wind in his ears told Bai Qiyun that something must be wrong here.
He looked around solemnly.
There was only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.
The Qiuqiu people who used to be everywhere are almost extinct here. Although there is a factor of too high concentration of elemental power, it is extremely abnormal for such a situation to occur.
Bennett hid the transport balloon in a somewhat hidden cave. He would need the balloon when he went back next time, but he couldn't let it be damaged by the wind.
"Let's hurry up and find Luo Luo Berry. It feels a bit evil here."
Even Bennett, who has always been very nervous, realized that something was wrong here.
He stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips. The ubiquitous wind element force here made him feel very uncomfortable.
This is not the wind of freedom sown by the god, but something more destructive and impatient.
As the holder of the Eye of God and the guardian of this test, he had to persuade Bai Qiyun to speed up his actions, and even forcefully take him away to terminate this test when the situation was serious.
But the adventurer's blood in his body kept boiling. If he were alone, he would definitely go to the source of this unknown wind.
That must be an extremely exciting adventure.
But not now, he still has other identities. Before realizing his wish, he must first ensure Bai Qiyun's safety.
"Let's go."
Taking advantage of the fact that the wind was not strong yet, Bai Qiyun took a step forward.
————————————
After crossing countless hills, a crumbling berry tree finally appeared in their eyes.
But next to it, there is an uninvited guest.
It was a monster that Bai Qiyun had never seen before. It looked a bit like a Qiuqiu man, a bit like a rabbit, and its limbs were a bit short.
But its entire body was floating in the air, and aqua-blue light emerged around its body, completely wrapping it inside.
Although the thing was very dazzling, Bai Qiyun, who had elemental vision, knew that the thing was composed of extremely pure water elemental power, and the amount was very large.
There is no doubt that this is not an easy monster to deal with.
"Haha, my lord's plan will be completed soon. Before hunting the Dragon of the East Wind, let's practice with it first."
The aqua blue Abyss mage looked at the formless wind being chased by his superior in the distance, and kept laughing with 'haha' in his mouth.
But the next second, it noticed something around it.
"who?!"
The Abyss Mage turned around and took a look, but found no trace.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two people hiding behind the hillside were communicating in a low voice.
"Have you ever seen this kind of monster?"
"No."
Bennett's answer to Bai Qiyun was still that of shaking his head.
In fact, for Bai Qiyun, he didn't want to delay here, and the guy who looked like he was not easy to deal with was not something that the two of them could solve, so he should go back to the city and report to the West Wind Knights first.
More importantly, in his perception, there are two more powerful wind elemental forces and water elemental forces further away.
And judging from the movement, it was obvious that a fight had begun.
Then one of the wind elemental forces should be the culprit that affects the concentration of elements in Wangfeng Mountain.
But if you can confront such a guy head-on, the other guy shouldn't be a bad person either.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun wanted to quit.
"Hehe, the apostle asked me to stay here as a lookout. If something happens, I won't be able to reap the rewards."
Master Abyss feels that if there is anything wrong around him, then these hidden dangers should be eliminated first.
He began to drift towards the hillside where Bai Qiyun and the two were hiding.
After all, in his sight, it was the only place where something could be hidden.
——Oh no, no, no!
In Bai Qiyun's perception, the water elemental force that was relatively close to them just now began to move towards them.
If this continues——
"Hoo~ho!"
I don’t know when the wind, which was already very strong, became even stronger.
The current situation is no less than that of places on the edge of the Dragon Disaster at that time.
The strong wind rolled up the dark clouds, as if they wanted to clean everything on the ground.
Even the apostles of the abyss who were fighting against the formless wind were intimidated by this momentum.
"This is..."
If there is a Xumi scholar here, he will be able to tell at a glance that this is the trick of the formless wind - supporting the wind and rolling the moon!
A huge tornado rose from the ground and spread wildly from the center of the formless wind to all directions.
Even the trees that had been rooted deep underground for unknown ages were mercilessly uprooted by the tornado.
If this situation continues, it will soon spread to the vicinity of Bai Qiyun and the two of them.
Moreover, this speed is still accelerating!
The apostle of the abyss wanted to leave quickly through the teleportation gate, but it was faster than the summoning gate. The extremely fast tornado directly shattered the water elemental power around it and threw it into the distance.
"Lord Apostle!"
The Abyss Mage was so frightened when he saw this scene that he originally thought that someone would be able to deal with this kind of monster with a pinch of salt.
But who could have imagined that this thing would be so difficult to deal with.
The sound of the wind is still approaching.
But without giving it time to panic, the storm that swept across the earth threw it, together with Bai Qiyun and the two people not far away who had not had time to escape, into the abyss under the waterfall and disappeared. Like Genshin Impact, the spear still invites everyone.
