But Angel Leng kept babbling on and on, which annoyed Long Wen.

However, Long Wen's contemptuous words, like a sharp blade, pierced precisely into the most sensitive corner of Angel Leng's heart.

Anger and humiliation mingled in her deep blue eyes, as if they were about to burst forth at any moment.

"you you!"

"If you have the guts, release me! I want to have the fairest duel with you, and let the gods witness your hypocrisy and incompetence!"

The angel's cold voice trembled with anger, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with resentment and challenge.

Long Wen chuckled lightly, his laughter carrying a hint of mockery and disdain.

"A duel? You self-proclaimed messengers of light are nothing but mediocre people."

"Two prisoners, yet they dare to challenge me?"

"That's ridiculous."

Angel Zhixin stood to the side, her face tense, her eyes flashing with resentment.

"It was clearly you who cheated! You used those shady methods, otherwise how could we have fallen into your hands?"

Her voice, though weak, revealed an indomitable spirit.

A playful smile appeared on Long Wen's lips. He stood up and his gaze swept over the two angels.

The image finally settled on the angel Leng's body, which trembled slightly with anger.

"Very well, since you are so fixated on so-called 'justice' and 'honor,' then I will give you a chance."

There was a hint of cunning in his words.

With a gentle wave of Long Wen's hand, the silver chain binding the angel Leng snapped and fell onto the cold stone slab with a crisp sound.

However, his next move was completely unexpected.

He did not draw his sword or summon any weapon, but slowly loosened his belt!

The movements were leisurely and composed.

"One is old but simple-minded, the other is young and inexperienced. Since that's the case, I will teach you a lesson in my own way."

Long Wen's words carried a hint of coldness, and his eyes became deep and complex.

Upon seeing this, the angel was first taken aback, then a flash of anger and confusion crossed his eyes.

But the next moment, when Longwen's belt was completely loosened, revealing his seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary clothes!

Both she and Angel Zhixin stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment.

"You! What are you trying to do!"

Angel's voice was sharp with shock; she never expected Long Wen to make such an unexpected move.

Long Wen sneered, a smile that contained both his expectation of the angel's cold reaction and a hint of mockery and provocation.

Isn't it obvious?

"Don't you enjoy being quick-witted?"

"Then I'll let you experience firsthand what a real 'three hundred rounds of battle' truly means!"

"However, I'm not going to fight you with swords. Instead, I'm going to help you loosen up that soil that hasn't been disturbed for tens of thousands of years!"

"It can be considered as acting on behalf of Heaven to help you shut up that troublemaking mouth of yours."

The moment the words were spoken, the entire space seemed to freeze.

Chapter 82 What kind of hellish place is this?

Long Wen felt a flash of light before his eyes, followed by a dizzying sensation. When he regained his senses, a pungent, fishy smell and the damp, earthy scent assaulted his nostrils. He abruptly opened his eyes to a strange and eerie scene—a massive windmill creaked and grotesquely in the wind, the surrounding trees twisted and grotesque, their rustling branches seeming to conceal countless unknown terrors. Before he could fully discern his surroundings, a low roar came from behind him. Long Wen's hair stood on end, and he slowly turned his head to see a group of ferocious monsters baring their fangs and claws, closing in on him. Their sharp fangs gleamed coldly, and their murky eyes were filled with bloodlust.

"What the hell is this place?" Long Wen exclaimed inwardly, his feet involuntarily taking a step back. In his panic, he stepped on a dry branch, the sound of which was particularly jarring in the silent yet perilous environment. The monsters seemed to be provoked by the sound, instantly becoming agitated, roaring and accelerating their approach. Long Wen's heart pounded violently, as if it would burst from his chest. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his back was already soaked. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, his nails digging deep into his palms, his eyes frantically searching his surroundings, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

Not far from the place where the wind rises, Wendy was strolling leisurely, carrying his violin and humming an off-key tune. Suddenly, as if sensing something, his expression sharpened, and he looked in the direction of the wind-rising place, muttering to himself, "Strange, why are the elemental fluctuations there so chaotic? Something unusual seems to be happening." With that, he quickened his pace, his robes fluttering in the wind.

Meanwhile, Amber, who was on patrol, also noticed the unusual situation in Windrise. Her eyes narrowed, and she skillfully mounted a rocket and headed towards the scene, muttering, "Hopefully it's not some big problem, and please don't let it affect the peace of Mondstadt."

On the other side of the wind, the monsters had cornered Long Wen, the encirclement tightening. Long Wen steeled his resolve, gritting his teeth, thinking, "I'll fight! I can't just sit here and wait to die." Just as the monsters were about to pounce, he suddenly closed his eyes, focused his mind, and tried to awaken the mysterious power within him. On the brink of life and death, he felt a surge of intense energy coursing through his meridians. He abruptly opened his eyes and roared, "Burn!" He swung his hands forward, and instantly, raging flames erupted from his palms, fanning out and sweeping towards the monsters. The flames howled in the wind, instantly illuminating the dark area and reflecting on Long Wen's resolute yet somewhat youthful face.

Caught off guard by the sudden burst of flames, the monsters howled in pain and fell into disarray. Some were engulfed in flames, rolling frantically on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the fire; others, terrified by the flames, retreated timidly. Seeing that the fire attack was working, Long Wen felt a glimmer of hope, but he knew it was far from enough. At that moment, a larger monster, seemingly the leader, burst from the flames. Its hide was charred black, yet it still charged at Long Wen relentlessly, its eyes burning with even greater killing intent.

Long Wen took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his state, and focused his mind again, sensing a completely different elemental power within his body. After a moment, he moved his hands, water splashing from his palms, and the icy water element, under his control, shot towards the remaining monsters like sharp arrows.

Chapter 83 Don't Move!

Water droplets condensed into icicles in the air, precisely piercing the monsters' vital points. The monsters collapsed one after another, unable to resist. Long Wen gasped for breath, his legs buckling, almost collapsing to the ground. His clothes were tattered, his hair disheveled, and his face covered in dust and sweat, but his eyes revealed the relief and determination of surviving a calamity.

"Halt! Don't move!" A clear yet authoritative voice rang out. Long Wen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl dressed in a red outfit and wearing a rabbit-ear hood, holding a bow and arrow, the arrow tip steadily aimed at him. The girl was Amber, and she looked at Long Wen warily, her eyes full of suspicion: "Who are you? Why are you using such powerful elemental energy here? Are you friend or foe?"

Long Wen looked helpless and quickly raised his hands, explaining with a wry smile, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't want this to happen either. I just arrived here and was inexplicably surrounded by these monsters. I was just defending myself!" As he spoke, he carefully moved his feet, trying to make Amber lower her guard.

Amber remained unmoved, drawing the bowstring tighter and shouting, "Enough nonsense! You're of unknown origin and possess strange powers; who knows what your intentions are?" Her cheeks were slightly flushed, whether from the panting of running or from tension and anger, it was hard to tell.

Long Wen was inwardly groaning, trying to figure out how to convince the stubborn girl, when suddenly, a melodious piano tune drifted over. Wendy, carrying her violin, emerged from the nearby woods, his signature gentle smile on his face: "Oh dear, what's going on here? Let's all calm down." His voice, like a gentle spring breeze, lightly eased the tense atmosphere.

Amber glanced at Wendy and frowned. "Wendy, what are you doing here? This guy is suspicious. Be careful."

Wendy stepped between the two, waving his hand with a grin. "Amber, don't rush into anything. I sensed intense elemental fluctuations from afar, and when I came over, I found this friend seemed to be in quite a predicament." He then turned to Longwen, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Friend, you don't look like a local; you seem to have come from afar. What's your story?"

Seeing that he finally had someone to talk to, Long Wen quickly said, "My name is Long Wen. I really just inexplicably transmigrated here. The moment I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by these monsters. If I hadn't fought back, I would have been dead long ago." His voice was tired and anxious, and he looked at Wendy and Amber with sincere eyes.

·· ····Requesting flowers··· ····· .

Wendy nodded slightly, seemingly considering how credible Longwen's words were. Amber, however, remained skeptical: "Time travel? That's too far-fetched an explanation. Who knows if you're lying?"

... 0

Long Wen sighed helplessly, looked around, pointed to the monster's corpse on the ground and said, "Look, if I were the enemy, I would have run away long ago after killing all these monsters. Why would I stay here waiting for you to catch me? Besides, if I had any ill intentions, I could have attacked you just now. Why would I wait until now?" His words were firm and resolute, and his eyes met Amber's gaze with determination.

Amber's heart skipped a beat. Recalling how Longwen had indeed had a chance to attack her but hadn't, she hesitated. Seeing this, Wendy seized the opportunity to smooth things over: "Amber, this Brother Longwen doesn't seem like a bad person. Perhaps there's a real reason for his arrival. Mondstadt has always been friendly and hospitable; why don't we hear what he has to say?"

Chapter 84 Then I'll trouble you.

Amber bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered her bow and arrow, but still looked at Long Wen warily: "Alright, I'll trust you this time. But you'd better not try anything funny. If I find out you have ulterior motives, I won't hold back."

Long Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, thank you. Don't worry, I just want to live in this world and find a way home."

Wendy stepped forward and patted Longwen on the shoulder: "Since that's the case, Brother Longwen, you're new here and probably know nothing about Teyvat, right? Why don't you come back to Mondstadt with us? There are lots of people there, and it might help you find some clues."

Long Wen was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Then I'll have to trouble you. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

The three of them traveled together towards Mondstadt. Along the way, Venti enthusiastically introduced the customs and culture of Teyvat to Longwen: "Mondstadt, where we are now, is the City of Wind, where the winds of freedom blow through every corner. The people of Mondstadt cherish freedom and love life. You're sure to feel a different kind of energy there."

Long Wen listened with great interest, his heart filled with curiosity about this unfamiliar world: "It sounds really interesting. Is there anything special about Mondstadt? Or any powerful figures?"

Wendy blinked and laughed, "There are many more. For example, our acting Grand Master Jean is a very capable person who manages the Knights of Favonius very well; and there's also Old Man Lu, whose tavern is one of the liveliest places in Mondstadt, and the wine there is incredibly delicious."

Amber scoffed, "Hmph, you think you know everything? Don't scare Longwen." Though she said this, her eyes revealed her pride in Mondstadt.

Long Wen chuckled and scratched his head: "They all sound amazing. I'm really eager to see them for myself."

However, unbeknownst to them, in the shadows, countless eyes were watching their every move, and a far greater conspiracy seemed to be brewing...

As they walked, a sudden commotion arose ahead. The three exchanged a glance and quickened their pace, only to find a group of Hilichurls attacking an old man. The old man was dressed in tattered clothes, leaning on a cane, and looked utterly disheveled...

"Quick, save him!" Amber shouted, quickly drawing her bow and arrow and shooting at the Hilichurls. Wendy also put down her harp, her fingertips lightly touching the strings, and a gust of wind howled out, blowing the Hilichurls near the old man off course.

Seeing this, Longwen rushed forward without hesitation, gathering fire element in his hands, flames leaping in his palms: "Try this!" He threw several fireballs into the Hilichurls, instantly igniting a sea of ​​fire. The Hilichurls screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.

After rescuing the old man, he looked at the three gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, kind people. I'm just an ordinary herb gatherer; I never expected to encounter these monsters."

Long Wen stepped forward and helped the old man up: "Old man, are you alright? You'd better be careful when you go out in the future."

The old man nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for reminding me. I will remember your great kindness."

The three continued their journey, as darkness gradually fell and night enveloped the land. Various unidentified sounds emanated from the surrounding woods, sending chills down their spines. Amber lit a torch, its flickering light illuminating the path ahead.

Chapter 85 The Wilderness Is Not Safe

“We need to speed things up; it’s not safe to be out in the wild at night,” Amber said, frowning.

Wendy agreed, "That's right, hopefully we can get to Mondstadt before nightfall."

Suddenly, a giant bird swooped overhead, its sharp cry piercing the night sky. Immediately afterward, a horde of demons surged in from all directions, surrounding them completely. These demons were of various shapes and sizes; some had wings and hovered in the air; others were enormous, as tall as two people, their every step causing the ground to tremble.

"What's going on? How did these monsters suddenly appear?" Long Wen exclaimed.

Amber gripped her bow and arrows tightly, her eyes grave: "Looks like tonight's going to be busy. Everyone be careful!"

Wendy played a stirring tune, and a gale howled around him, forming a barrier that temporarily blocked the monster's attack: "Dragonweave, Amber, let's coordinate!"

Long Wen took a deep breath, and the elemental power within his body surged wildly. He quickly switched elements with both hands, first using water to condense an ice shield in front of him to block the physical attacks of the monsters; then, he switched to fire, and flames shot out from the gaps in the ice shield, scorching the approaching monsters.

Amber continued firing her arrows relentlessly, each shot hitting its mark precisely in the monster's vital points. Her eyes were resolute, and beads of sweat covered her forehead, but she showed no sign of backing down: "Hmph, I'll kill as many as they come!"

However, the number of monsters was simply too great, wave after wave, seemingly endless. The three of them gradually became exhausted, and their defenses began to falter.

"No, we'll be worn down sooner or later if this continues," Wendy said, panting heavily.
