I live a slow life in Genshin Impact

"The 'afterimage' formed by the leylines, that is..." Paimon muttered doubtfully. Although he already understood the concept deep down, it still seemed a little hard to believe. "Does this mean we won't get any material drops after the battle?" Paimon's voice tinged with despair. "Will there really be nothing left after the battle?"

As she spoke, the huge body of the defeated Ruin Snake slowly disappeared.

Only a few remaining ashes and a few scattered lights were left. Apart from that, nothing else remained, not even a treasure chest...

"It really is a hearty and satisfying work for nothing..."

Feng Luo complained slightly, but looking at Paimeng's distraught look, he nodded helplessly and answered affirmatively: "Well, that's roughly it." His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Paimeng's heart hard and shattering her last bit of fantasy.

"Ah~"

Paimon's body suddenly slumped, as if she'd lost all support. She slumped to the ground, her eyes glazed over, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. "The Adventurer's Guild spent so much money acquiring these materials... My dream of getting rich is gone just like that..." Paimon muttered to herself, her voice filled with resentment, her face tilted upward at a 45-degree angle, revealing endless sorrow and sadness.

"Don't be too sad, look at the stars around you—" Feng Luo felt a little sorry when he saw Paimeng's dejected look, so he half-jokingly and half-seriously comforted him, "These are all experiences for growth!"

However, Paimon didn't seem to buy it. She shook her legs in distress and muttered, "What's the use of experience? Experience can't turn me into Mora!"

"But if we go down, maybe there will be something worth exploring." Ying said from the side.

"After all, this secret realm hasn't reached its end yet. You know there are treasure chests in all secret realms."

Hearing this, Paimon's eyes suddenly lit up, as if seeing a glimmer of hope. He immediately regained his interest and asked eagerly, "Really? Will there really be something good?"

Ying wasn't entirely sure, but she nodded and said, "I'm not entirely sure. It might not be true, but the situation won't get any worse, right?"

Paimon lowered her head in thought for a moment, pondering Ying's words. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and her mood improved slightly. She murmured to herself, "Hmm...it seems to be true."

However, this moment of relief didn't last long. Paimon's mind was soon occupied by another more pressing matter. She suddenly slapped her head and said anxiously, "Oh no! I was too busy thinking about other things. We are still trapped here. We can't stay here forever!"

Thinking of this, Paimon couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He wondered how he could have forgotten such an important thing. So, he quickly turned to look at the others and suggested, "Everyone, stop dawdling and let's find a way to get out of here!"

"Okay." Feng Luo's mouth twitched slightly. Paimeng's mood changed too quickly, just like a child...

But this is a good thing.

"Let's go, let's go forward and see what else is here." Everyone nodded in agreement, and then continued to move forward together.

Not long after, they saw a huge earth vein tree not far away.

Generally speaking, the appearance of this tree represents the end of the secret realm.

"It seems I can finally get out!" Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, the gloom on his face disappeared, and a bright smile bloomed again.

However, just as she was about to leave happily, she suddenly stopped as if she was cast under a spell.

"It's good to be able to get out," Paimon muttered to himself, frowning slightly, as if remembering something important, "but I always feel like something is missing... Oh right! Isn't there a treasure chest nearby? According to common sense, there should be a treasure chest in a place like this."

Full of suspicion, Paimon began to look around, his eyes scanning every corner like a radar. Sure enough, next to a huge rock not far away, a treasure chest emitting a faint glow loomed.

"Haha, I told you, how could there be no treasure chest!" Paimon shouted excitedly, running towards the treasure chest in two steps at a time.

However, when she approached the treasure chest, she was surprised to find a strange red halo lingering around it. This halo was like a burning flame, constantly dancing, as if warning people not to approach easily.

"Red halo? What's going on?" Paimon's expression instantly grew serious. She stared at the mysterious red halo with wide eyes, feeling uneasy. "Is there some powerful monster guarding this treasure chest? Or is there some dangerous mechanism hidden here?"

At the thought of encountering unknown dangers, Paimon's heart beat faster involuntarily and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Hey everyone! This treasure chest is still unlocked!"

She shouted over her shoulder, then froze.

A large number of Hilichurl warriors, as well as Abyss Mages and Ruins Guardians, appeared from the surroundings at some point in time. Feng Luo and Ying had already engaged in a fight with these enemies.

"We know about this kind of thing right away!"

Feng Luo complained.

"Ah this..."

Paimon scratched his head embarrassedly.

She probably knew that it was because she had triggered the mechanism, so she shrank her little head and didn't dare to say anything more.

"It doesn't matter. The more enemies come, the better. That's how I won't be bored!"

A layer of rock element condensed on Arawaki Ichido's body. He laughed loudly and swung his mace around!

All the hillbillies who were hit by him flew away!

Only the Ruins Guardian could take two of his blows, and finally he fell to the ground with a bang!

However, the only thing that can hinder him is that these mages of the Abyss are very flexible and can teleport. They often flash here and there and then attack from a distance!

Arata Ichido dodged in a panic, and Ying also noticed this, and quickly raised his sword to fight with the Abyss Mage!

Feng Luo and Shen He are cooperating with each other tacitly to deal with the hillick archers!

These archers keep shooting arrows filled with elemental power, which is very annoying!

"Come on, everyone, let's get out of here together!"

Paimon shouted encouragingly.
