Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

On the third night of his consecutive date with Ye Caizhen, Wang Chen checked his luggage and headed towards the South Pier.

Tonight was the first time he and the members of the North Wing were working together to attack. Their goal was to destroy the core of the teleportation array set up by the Abyss Cult in Guyun Pavilion.

He doesn't know how strong his teammates are.

He had no idea how strong his opponent was.

All he knew was his own strength. He had deliberately suspended his incremental training of mental strength last night in order to be able to exert his 100% strength today.

If he encounters the lineup that was used to deal with Diluk outside Mondstadt again: four Abyss Mages, four Axe Thugs, and four Large Shield Thugs, although he has only learned the shallow Rock Shield now, he is not afraid of them, it's just that it will take more time to deal with them.

Passing through the bustling night market and the still lively crowd at the dock, Ye Caizhen's ship was still in the same place as two days ago. Seven figures had gathered at the surrounding docks, all of them wearing the Eye of God.

Seeing Wang Chen, a young man with white hair and black pupils said in a bad tone: "Hey, why is there a masked man here?"

"The organization has no regulations prohibiting the wearing of masks. On the contrary, the existence of code names and anonymity mechanisms is precisely to protect personal privacy."

“Humph! That being said, it’s different in Liyue. Who doesn’t know about Master Ye of Bailing and Captain Beidou of Death Star? Even the leader is like this, so we should value trust even more.”

The white-haired young man opened his arms exaggeratedly, looked around, and criticized:

"Look, except for you, who else here is not showing their true identity? Not only does your mask make you look different, but it also shows disrespect and lack of trust in us!"

Wang Chen's eyes turned, and the five men and two women present were indeed not hiding their identities. The five men were three young men, a fat man, and an uncle, and the two women were a young girl and a beautiful woman. He didn't know any of them.

He said calmly, "So what? It's your freedom not to wear a mask, and it's my freedom to wear a mask. I don't mean to disrespect you. If you want to take it for granted, I can't do anything about it."

"Hey, little brother, do you understand the rules? Everyone does this, and it was the same in previous gatherings. Do you have the nerve to be an exception?"

"Is it always right? I should do the same as others do?"

The beautiful woman said in a soft accent: "I think this young man is right. It is his freedom to wear a mask or not."

"That's right, who is that? I don't know you very well. If you have any objections, don't involve me. I don't care whether he wears a mask or not." The fat man also distanced himself from the matter.

The white-haired young man's momentum instantly weakened. "It seems... since no one cares, then, let's do this."

Wang Chen finally understood that these people were all from Liyue. They might have met each other at gatherings before, but they were not very familiar with each other. The white-haired young man saw that he was a newcomer from outside and wanted to give him a warning.

There really are people like this in the world...

Isn't this something that only a mentally retarded villain in a novel would do?

I have absolutely no idea what benefit it brings to him. Does it satisfy his vanity or has he been beaten like this before and has some psychological trauma?

That's outrageous.

"What happened?" Ye Caizhen had just walked to the side closer to the dock and didn't see the whole picture.

Wang Chen shrugged and said, "Some people rely on their seniority and want to bully me because I am a stranger. Fortunately, there are more good people in the organization."

Even wearing a mask could lead to people making a big fuss and they almost had a falling out. It was simply an internal conflict before they even achieved their goal.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Although he shouted this, the white-haired young man's acting skills were not very good. His panicked look after his little thoughts were exposed betrayed him.

"Yes, Zhang San is just giving you a friendly reminder. Even if you are stubborn, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Wang Chen was stunned when he heard this. There was actually someone speaking up for the white-haired guy, and some even accused him of something. Judging from the guy's position, he was a young man standing very close to the white-haired guy. Maybe they knew each other in real life.

After consulting the beautiful woman, Ye Caizhen locked his eyes on the white-haired man and said, "…It's best if there is none. We will fight the enemy together later, so we need to work together."

The white-haired young man nodded nervously several times and said, "We must be united, we must be united!"

"Well, there are only nine of us right now... there should be a few more coming, everyone get on board, and we'll leave after waiting for them for a few minutes."

Later, a pair of twin sisters and a teenager came and a total of twelve God's Eye holders participated in the operation.

"Long time no see, Brocade Bird!"

"I came too late. My family was watching me too closely. I managed to get out with great difficulty."

"Hahaha! It's not too late. We're just about to set off."

The boat gradually moved away from the dock. The last person to board, Brocade Bird, seemed to be very popular. More than half of the people greeted him familiarly, and he responded enthusiastically. Until he saw Wang Chen, he froze and walked over quickly.

"Eh...hiss! You are also a member of the North Wing?"

Wang Chen nodded with a smile. He had long guessed that the "Brocade Bird" was Xingqiu, but Xingqiu didn't know that he was also a member of the North Wing.

"What's your code name?"

"Kunpeng."

"It's the new member from Mondstadt. I never expected that... we had been fighting side by side before you came to Liyue!"

“Do you have many gatherings here?”

"I've only participated in three or four of them. Come to think of it, this wouldn't be your first time participating in a group action organized by an organization, right?"

"Yes, but it is a bit exclusive to outsiders."

"Exclude outsiders? Who?"

"The white-haired Zhang San."

"Zhang San?" Xingqiu showed a puzzled look on his face. He looked around and saw the white hair that was still quite eye-catching before continuing, "Oh...him, that guy has some problems with his brain, don't take it to heart."

This medium-sized merchant ship had been modified and was moving very fast. Before anyone had to wait long, the somewhat lonely Guyun Pavilion appeared in sight under the moonlight.

"Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. The ship can no longer move forward easily. Everyone, please get ready here. Let's clarify the goal again.

"According to the Array Master, this teleportation array must have a core.

"Using the 'Demon of the Whirlpool' to naturally place the Night Mooring Stone on the bottom of the Yunlai Sea, and pretending to be a salvage ship to drop the Night Mooring Stone east of Guyun Pavilion, the Abyss Cult's action this time was to avoid Liyue's sight as much as possible.

"Including the fact that there are real salvage ships wandering around Guyun Pavilion occasionally during the day, the Abyss Cult's troops deployed in Guyun Pavilion are bound to not be too many, but the scale is so large, and the garrison must be elite. Based on the importance they attach, it is not ruled out that they have set up other teleportation arrays to send troops remotely.

"So don't linger in the battle. Our primary target is the core of the formation. Find it, destroy it, and the operation will be complete.

"is that OK?"

After receiving unanimous affirmative answers, Ye Caizhen nodded: "Action begins!"

She stood on the edge of the boat heading towards Guyun Pavilion, with a long sword in her hand pointing at the sea, forming an ice road that was large enough for three people to pass side by side.

"Follow me."

A group of twelve people walked on the icy road and ran towards Guyun Pavilion together, but when they got to the island, everything was quiet and there was no special movement.

"Master Ye, there are so many small islands in Guyun Pavilion, we won't go wrong, right?"

"The intersection of the three formations... is definitely this island, and it must be at the highest point."

Ye Caizhen did not hesitate and continued to lead everyone towards the highest hill in the entire Guyun Pavilion.

This mountain is very high. It is said that the mountain of Guyun Pavilion is the rock spear that the emperor threw down in the past. So this mountain must be the largest one among them.

Wang Chen also had an impression of it. It was on this mountain that Zhongli fed the relics of the "Salt Demon" Heulia to the "Whirlpool Demon". In particular, there were three Abyss Mages of Fire, Water and Ice blocking the way up the mountain, which left a deep impression on Wang Chen, who was still a newbie at the time.

Sure enough, the seemingly peaceful atmosphere at the foot of the mountain was gradually exposed as the climbing journey continued.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, the first thing that blocked their way was a group of slimes. A little higher up, deceptive flowers began to appear. Although they were not the deliberate work of the Abyss Cult, everyone could sense that there was something wrong with the elemental power.

After crossing a certain boundary, the Hillilians finally appeared. They let out hoarse and sharp shouts, and the road up the mountain suddenly lit up. The Hillilians, who had been hiding in the grass on both sides of the road, motionless like zombies, lit the torches in their hands, and the flames burned all the way to the top of the mountain, bringing a dazzling warning to the people who controlled them.

"quick!"

Everyone had the same idea and ignored these Hillilks who were being used as machines or simple mechanisms, and rushed to the top of the mountain as fast as they could.

Wang Chen carried Xingqiu up into the sky, and Ye Caizhen actually created a series of ice steps in the air, and his speed was not much slower.

The scene on the top of the mountain was breathtaking. There were more than twenty abyss mages gathered here, jointly guarding an iron-brown cylinder with patterns in the center. It was obviously the core of the formation.

"Humph!"

Ye Caizhen snorted coldly, and a three-meter-wide frosty sword energy slashed towards the center of the formation, but the Ice Abyss Mage pushed forward, and an invisible word "immune" floated faintly, and the attack was taken without damage.

The Abyss Mage is indeed very vulnerable after the shield is broken, but its defense before the shield is broken is one level higher than that of the Rock Shield Thug. With their protection, it is basically impossible to destroy the core of the formation remotely.

However, the other people on the north wing also reached the top of the mountain one after another. The twelve people covered the other six elements except the grass element. As long as they could match the restraining attributes, this group of abyss mages would not be able to resist for long.

"Quack, quack, quack."

The Abyss Mages were whispering to each other in some incomprehensible language. Then an Abyss Magus hiding at the back shook his staff, some information came out, and he urgently activated the summoning spell.

Three vertical cracks appeared out of nowhere and were quickly stretched to the left and right, revealing contents as gorgeous as the starry sky, and three slender figures stepped out from them.

One Water Abyss Apostle, one Ice Abyss Apostle, and one Fire Abyss Chanter.

The combat power of the Abyss Cult has increased.
