Chapter 1186 Lin Mao: First do this, then that, and finally you do this...
In Liyue Harbor, a girl stood in a corner, talking to herself.
How long have you been squatting here?
'She's been squatting here since she woke up... Oh dear! This isn't the time for that! Grab her right now!'
After answering Lin Mao's question, he saw Qi Qi cautiously emerge from Bu Bu Lu, looking around as she left.
Hu Tao urged Lin Mao to go up and grab her.
"This...is illegal, isn't it?"
Lin Mao watched Qi Qi's retreating figure, unwilling to let Master Hu embark on a path of illegality and crime.
'What law are you breaking? She's a zombie, she's not protected by law!'
Then, Hu Tao gave a brief explanation of the legal aspects of Liyue Harbor.
'Listen to yourself, what law protects zombies?'
"...You seem to know quite a bit about Liyue's laws."
'You can't afford to be ignorant, otherwise someone will report you, and when the Qianyan Army comes knocking on your door, you won't know what to say...'
Too many tears to recount, and Hu Tao didn't want to say any more about it.
But even though she didn't say anything, Lin Mao knew what was going on.
It's nothing more than trying to sell her "second monument half price" idea, which she came up with after her cerebellum atrophy.
Then Shui Lingling was reported.
All I can say is 'serves him right'!
What kind of person could come up with a slogan like "Second monument half price"?
Are they still human?
Watching Qiqi's disappearing figure gradually fade into the distance, Hu Tao's voice grew increasingly anxious as Lin Mao pondered whether or not to tie Qiqi up as Hu Tao had instructed.
"...Never mind, it's your body, you decide what to do."
After thinking for a while, Lin Mao gave up.
Since Hu Tao wants to do it, then let her do it. Anyway, I have plenty of time. Mondstadt is quite a distance from Liyue, so a little more time won't make a difference.
"Although Liyue is right next to Mondstadt, it seems like it will take several days to get from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt... Should we have Ying bring the Starship over later?"
While thinking about it, Lin Mao followed the instructions and headed towards Qi Qi's direction.
Seemingly sensing danger, Qiqi quickened her pace and soon disappeared from Lin Mao's sight.
"Wow, this little thing runs pretty fast."
'Go faster, but be careful, she's very alert; she'll notice even the slightest noise!'
Hu Tao shared his experience with Lin Mao.
Lin Mao nodded.
He casually asked, "By the way, what do you want with her?"
"Of course we'll bury them."
Hu Tao said confidently, without feeling that there was anything wrong with what she said.
As a zombie, Qiqi's philosophy is naturally different from that of the Rebirth Hall, which takes life and death lightly, believing that death is death and life is life.
In a common sense, a zombie is a living, breathing corpse with its own consciousness.
Most people would treat it as a human being capable of communication.
However, in Hu Tao's view, the other party was just a corpse, and the best solution for a corpse is to be buried and obtain eternal peace.
But Qiqi doesn't do that; she spends all her time wandering around Liyue Harbor.
In Hu Tao's view, this was no different from a corpse not lying properly in its coffin and running around on the road.
Like a thorn in one's side, a thorn in one's flesh!
If we don't bury her, Hu Tao won't be able to sleep well at night!
"Where did you go?"
Lin Mao stopped and looked around at the desolate wilderness, his brows furrowing slightly.
That direction!
Hu Tao pointed in a direction; she had just seen a figure flash by there.
As they continued forward, the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate, with withered grass roots covering the yellow earth.
"Something's not right here..."
Lin Mao twitched his nose, and a faint, pungent odor wafted over.
"&*()%￥￥@!"
Unintelligible languages echoed around him, and strange masked creatures entered Lin Mao's field of vision, each wielding a crude, homemade weapon.
Upon seeing Lin Mao, it roared at him.
'Hicrulls? Why would there be Hilichurls near Liyue Harbor?'
Hu Tao was somewhat surprised, followed by frustration. She saw the Hilichurls but not Qi Qi, which meant she had lost her.
Such a good opportunity to secretly bury her was missed.
pity!
'Ordinary Hilichurls are easy for me to deal with... By the way, you can use elemental magic, right?'
Wait a minute!
Just as Hu Tao finished asking the question, her gaze sharpened as she saw a faint black aura, almost imperceptible, floating upwards from the Hilichurl.
A name popped into my mind.
A demon's resentment?!
There are Hilichurls near Liyue Harbor, so let's just leave it at that.
Why would there still be resentment from demons and gods?
Coming to her senses, and seeing that the Hilichurl, tainted by the demon god's resentment, had not yet reported back, Hu Tao spoke earnestly.
Trust me, it's not too late to turn around and run...
She wasn't afraid of Hilichurls, but she was afraid of Hilichurls corrupted by the resentment of demons.
The main problem is that the resentment of demons and gods is extremely sinister!
It can not only enhance the monster's combat power, but also allow the monster to unleash power far exceeding its own.
After the possessed monster is killed, it will randomly choose one of the following: dissipate, return to the ley lines, or find a new target to possess.
In battle, a moment's carelessness can lead to being consumed by the demon's resentment.
That will be a lot of trouble.
'But if this thing isn't dealt with...'
Hu Tao bit her finger and glanced back at Liyue Harbor. If left unchecked, these monsters might somehow manage to get into Liyue Harbor.
Liyue Harbor is inhabited by ordinary people.
If you were to encounter this, you would be dead for sure.
Wang Shengtang had come to take a more detached view of life and death, but he was also unwilling to see this kind of death.
"Leave it to me."
As he spoke, Lin Mao had already created a ball using fire element, glanced at it, and tossed it into the monster horde.
Without its controller, the elemental forces inside the sphere became extremely unstable, and the explosion quickly swept away the surrounding area.
'...'
'What kind of move is that?'
'Teach me!'
Hu Tao became interested. She realized that Lin Mao had compressed the fire element and then let go of control, allowing the long-suppressed fire element to erupt.
She had played this game when she first got her hands on the Eye of God.
But at most it can only be used as a firecracker, not as powerful as the one Lin Mao made.
Invisible black smoke drifted towards Lin Mao.
Discovered by Lin Mao, fire element surged from his body, precisely burning away the faint resentment of the demon god.
Upon hearing Hu Tao's request for guidance, Lin Mao, who enjoyed teaching, was naturally willing to instruct her.
Whether she can do it or not depends entirely on herself.
"First, we need a huge amount of fire element. Then I compress the huge amount of fire element into a sphere, throw it out, and release control."
"...Report, how do we get a massive amount of fire element?" Walnut asked, raising her hand.
"Does this kind of question even need an answer?"
Lin Mao stretched out his finger, flames burning at the tip, "Isn't fire element everywhere in the air?"
'...'
They are everywhere, but how to control so many fire elements is a problem.
After all, a person's energy is limited.
【Ding dong! 】
Ying: @Lin Mao, reporting to giegie, thanks to my friendly attitude, Ms. Funina is willing to lend me the Starship!
Lin Mao: Hmm, not bad.
After much deliberation, Lin Mao decided to have Ying bring the Starship over to save time on the journey to Mondstadt.
If you were to travel by carriage from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt, it would take at least two or three days.
He has plenty of time, but he can't waste it like this.
Moreover, only they know how arduous the process was.
Teyvat's infrastructure is nothing like that of the Celestial Ship, nor can it compare to the infrastructure of my hometown in my previous life.
But there aren't those extensive network of cement roads.
【Ding dong! 】
Ying: I will complete the task assigned by Giegie with all my heart!
Ying: Giegie, you're inside Liyue Harbor right now, right?
Lin Mao: What happened in Liyue Harbor?
"..."
