Original God, I, the prince of Liyue, do not want to inherit the throne

The sun was shifting to the west. It was almost 5 o'clock in the Tianheng Valley. Ye Li had already repaired and modified the Guizhong machine. He turned around and jumped down to find that Zhongli was leading a group of treasure hunters and asking them all kinds of questions. He slapped them from time to time and his movements were so cruel. He also said something insulting to the wisdom of their ancestors from time to time.

"Brother, I know I was wrong, can you please stop hitting me?"

At this moment, the member of the treasure-stealing group who had been slapped several times in the ribs was in tears and begged for mercy. He looked at the handsome man in front of him, but with a slightly angry look between his eyebrows, and he was extremely afraid.

"What happened? Where did this group of treasure thieves come from?"

Ye Li raised the question at this moment. Without using any perception ability, he looked at Kong, wanting to know the answer, as he carefully repaired the Guizhong Machine with his mortal strength.

At this moment, Kong and Paimon, who witnessed the entire process of Zhongli's interrogation, had somewhat stiff expressions, but they still explained the situation to Ye Li in general.

"My goodness, are the treasure-stealing gangs so bold these days? They even want to destroy a machine of historical and military significance, let alone a crossbow.

Although it is true that the basic function is the same, if this thing is driven by immortal power, it can fire continuously or even bombard. The output and power of the two are completely incomparable. "

Ye Li's slightly sarcastic words left the treasure-hunting group who were slapped dumbfounded. How could he have known that the Guizhongji was a military item of great historical significance.

If the boss hadn't given the order in time, he would have been framed long ago, and ended up causing such a big mess that their branch would be finished.

The treasure-stealing group, with red and swollen faces, were disheartened and revealed everything they knew. They were then quickly tied up like dumplings by some of the Qianyan Army, carried on horses and taken away.

After repairing the Guizhong Machine, Ye Li and his group mounted their horses and led a team of Qianyan Army towards the treasure-stealing group's base. The remaining Qianyan Army stayed here to prevent the Guizhong Machine from being damaged again.

On the way, Ye Li looked at the taciturn Zhongli, and he knew in his heart that the treasure-stealing group had hit the hardest iron plate, the hardest iron plate in the entire Teyvat continent during the Demon War.

If Zhongli had not become a retired man who is good at playing cards and slacking off, if he were the same person in the early days of the Demon War, I'm afraid all the treasure-stealing groups on the entire continent would have been wiped out.

Unlike the development of the original timeline, the treasure-stealing group did not move out as a group. Instead, they sent a small group of people out to explore the way, which resulted in a disaster in which Ye Li and his group went to the base camp and wiped out the whole group.

Holding a telescope in hand, Ye Li was standing on a slope looking at a cleared space in the woods. It was the base of a branch of the treasure-stealing group that was built in the style of a Hilichurl camp. The hiding place was also quite secretive.

"I didn't expect the damn treasure-stealing group to be so good at hiding. If we hadn't caught one of them on patrol, we might not have found such a large base here."

Paimeng crossed her arms angrily, with a serious expression on her face, while Ye Li beside her said calmly:

"The treasure-stealing gang is like this. They move from place to place, either robbing or robbing tombs. Their footprints are all over the continent of Teyvat. The anti-bandit forces of various countries are also quite troubled by this group.

However, there is such a large base so close to Liyue Harbor, facing Tianheng Mountain. The twists and turns involved are probably enough to keep the already overwhelmed Seven Stars busy for a while."

"It sounds like there's some huge conspiracy."

The more Kong listened, the more he felt something was wrong. After deep thought, he suddenly understood. Paimon said it directly, and it was obvious that he thought the same thing as Kong.

"No matter how prosperous Liyue Harbor is, there are always rats in the dark. It's just that we caught them this time. It can be regarded as God's will before we bid farewell to the Emperor."

"From a universal point of view, this is the result of their selfishness and greed. Insulting the wisdom of our ancestors is disheartening to those who have contributed to the land of Liyue."

Zhongli had a blank expression on his face, and his look was calm. The anger that he had when he slapped the treasure-stealing group not long ago had long since disappeared. But in the eyes of Ye, the treasure-stealing group's base and buildings could say goodbye to the world.

As dusk approaches, the whistling wind carries a hint of coldness, making the vitality of the entire forest as silent as the dull autumn leaves.

The lenses reflecting the light reminded him of the direction. Ye Li looked at the Qianyan Army that had been ambushing around the treasure-stealing group's base and nodded with satisfaction. Whether in terms of attitude of obeying orders or ability to execute, the only difference between them and the Qianyan Army of his time and space was in combat power.

"Kong, the ambush is ready, start the action."

"receive."

Kong held the token distributed by Ye, and sighed in his heart that although the technology tree of Teyvat was in a different direction, the real-time report of long-distance communication was much better than the world he had visited before.

Holding in his hand the edgeless sword that had been upgraded to the highest level by a blacksmith as Ye Li asked Paimon to remind him, Kong looked sharply at the two members of the treasure-stealing group who were standing guard on two high platforms in the stronghold, calculating the time in his mind.

As the evening sun shone into the dark woods, a golden meteor flew up from the bottom, attracting the attention of all the treasure-hunting team on guard.

"What is that? A shooting star?"

"Idiot, there is no such thing as a meteor flying in the opposite direction. This is clearly the work of a demon."

"But it doesn't look like that. Instead, I believe the rockets we fired when we called for help."

"Oh no, we've been discovered!"

Just as the clever member of the treasure-hunting team was about to react, two light green wind bullets hit him and his companion on the back of the head with lightning speed, knocking them unconscious on the spot and they fell to the ground.

"Young people are in good health and just fall asleep."

Ye Li observed the scene through the telescope in his hand, speaking the internet buzzwords from his previous life, while Zhongli stood beside him, observing the scene quietly, waiting for the opportunity.

Kong alone fought his way through all the obstacles. His wind bombs based on wind element quickly eliminated the treasure-stealing group members who were on guard one by one. He rushed towards the treasure-stealing group's base at a rapid speed. The wind wings behind him spread out, and the wind element formed a vortex under his feet and erupted, and he flew directly into the air.

Faced with Kong's attack from below turning into aerial sniping, the Treasure Stealing Group's base was caught off guard. Even though their long-range weapons could strike from a distance, Kong, who occasionally used the wind element to utilize the Ten Thousand Leaves Tower wind skill to soar into the sky, had overwhelming mobility.

All Kong can say is that based on experience and the idea proposed by Ye, Kong has no doubt that Ye Li can use the power of the wind element to destroy an entire city. It's a pity that he doesn't have the Eye of God.

Although the Evil Eye has the same effect, its durability and power are much worse than that of the Eye of God. Even if Sora is taken into consideration, the consumption will increase exponentially.

Add to that the negative effects of the evil eye, and the cost is extremely high.

With Kong's constant harassment from above, the members and leader of the treasure-stealing group were having a headache.

You can't hit them, and they may not hear you if you scold them. And just standing there is not a point either. The wind balls thrown by the other side have knocked down most of the people. If the fight goes on any longer, the whole army will be wiped out.

It can only be said that the gap between having elemental power and not having elemental power is so despairing. Even with alchemy as an aid, the price to pay for defeating a powerful original god is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Looking at his brothers falling one after another, the leader of the treasure-stealing group at this stronghold could only order a retreat, abandon the stronghold of this branch, and preserve the living strength.

But before they could run out of the stronghold, the golden light appeared again, forming runes flying in the sky and turning into barriers at four corners, blocking their escape route.

"Damn it, there's actually another original god. We must focus our fire on one spot and blast out an exit, otherwise we're all doomed."

The concentrated elemental attacks continuously consumed the barrier, but not even the slightest ripple was produced, and it remained standing as before.

"Damn it, they are trying to trap us to death. Keep up the concentrated fire and don't even keep your savings."

The leader of the treasure-stealing group was filled with rage and roared anxiously as he swung the giant axe in his hand. However, only a faint flash was left on the barrier, without any ripples or cracks.

Just as the treasure-stealing group was collectively trying to break through the barrier, one of the treasure-stealing group members seemed to remember something and couldn't help but say:

"Boss, the attack above seems to have disappeared."

The leader, who was still focusing his fire on the barrier, reacted when he heard his men's voices. He looked up, only to see that Kong's figure had disappeared without a trace.

Instead, a huge golden crack appeared in the sky, as if something was condensing inside.

The instinctive fear and awe of life arose, and the feeling of certain death enveloped the hearts of all the treasure-hunting team members, as if the gods were about to bring down punishment.

The golden light formed a huge meteorite, which slowly fell from the gap left above the barrier, bringing with it the force of a thousand mountains pressing down on one's head.

"Just...just kidding."

"Let me out now, I don't want to be hit by a meteorite."

"Brother, I have deeply regretted my mistake of stealing. There is no need to be so cruel."

Facing the constant pressure from the meteorites above and the barriers that were deployed to block them, the leader of the treasure-stealing group understood that he had failed this time, and that he had failed at the hands of two original gods, so it would not be shameful if the news got out.

Everyone laid down their weapons, having already lost their will to fight in the face of this inexplicable disaster.

Looking at the many Thousand Rocks soldiers rushing out of the barrier, the leader of the treasure-stealing group was glad that the meteorite did not fall, but it was still very intimidating hanging in the sky.

After tying up all the members of the treasure-stealing team, Ye Li turned his head and looked at the purple lightning flying from afar. He knew in his heart that support had arrived.

As the lightning fell, Keqing, who was the most serious and never dragged her feet, appeared and looked at the few people who had dealt with the treasure-stealing group and said:

"You did a great job. You managed to take down a large camp in such a short time."

"Isn't this all thanks to the help of the Traveler? His control over the wind element combined with my imagination, coupled with Mr. Zhongli's meteorite deterrence, the treasure-stealing group who value their lives will naturally surrender obediently."
