Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

at this time

"Albedo" took out his long sword and rushed straight towards Eula and Ying. Fortunately, Ying had a strong sense of combat and picked up the ancestral sword without a blade to fight back.

The two men's one-handed swords collided and separated at an extremely fast speed, emitting a series of dazzling sparks.

However, since Albedo launched his attack premeditatedly and the Traveler responded in a hurry, he was quickly at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the tip of Albedo's sword was about to pierce Ying's heart, Eula quickly came to her senses. She waved the greatsword in her hand to block it, and at the same time stretched out her hand to pull the traveler behind her to protect him, and she faced Albedo directly.

The weapon used by Eula was a huge sword, and her attack was fierce and powerful. She raised her arm high, and the sword rushed straight towards Albedo's face with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Of course, "Albedo" would not choose to fight head-on. He held the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand and waved his left hand gently. A solid ice wall appeared out of thin air, blocking everyone's sight. Eula's blow easily shattered the ice wall, but "Albedo" took advantage of the impact and leaped into the air...

Then countless ice spikes suddenly appeared in the air...

They seemed to emerge from nothingness, with a cold breath and sharp edges, falling at an alarming speed, like a dense ice rain, attacking the traveler and Eula all over the place.

Facing this sudden attack, Eula reacted extremely quickly. She subconsciously raised the greatsword in her hand and accurately blocked the attack of the ice spikes. Every collision made a crisp sound, and the ice spikes hit the sword body, emitting countless tiny ice crystals and raising snowflakes all over the sky...

All the actions were completed in just a few seconds. Such an intense fighting scene immediately attracted the attention of Amber and Bennett who were resting on the side.

However, even the powerful "Albedo" could not stay in the air for too long after losing the help of the Wings of Wind and the Millennium Wind. He knew this very well, so after launching this round of attacks, he chose to land immediately without hesitation.

At this time, all of the ice spikes' attacks had been successfully blocked by Eula with her greatsword. The Traveler seized the moment when "Albedo" landed, decisively swung the long sword in his hand, and launched a swift offensive. The situation was reversed in an instant, and "Albedo", who was originally on the offensive, had to hastily respond to the counterattack from the Traveler.

However, Albedo was not reluctant to fight. He used the force of the Traveler's attack to leap back, and Eula's attack followed. At this critical moment, she no longer cared about the so-called chivalry of fighting alone...

After seeing this scene, Amber drew his bow and arrow without saying a word, and shot the arrow with the burning fire element at "Albedo" who was dodging Eula's attack.

"Albedo" narrowly avoided the arrow by turning sideways, but when he knelt on one knee and supported himself on the snow with one hand, an evil and crazy smile appeared on his face.

Then, he raised his hands and pressed down hard. Countless ice cones emerged from the ground and rushed towards Ying, Youla and Amber like a tide...

At this time, Bennett finally arrived, but he had an indomitable momentum. He was holding a black rapier and moving forward at a very fast speed, while also cleverly avoiding the ice cones.

Bennett jumped up, and a strong fire element gathered on the tip of his sword. As Bennett's sword fell, a huge red circle appeared on the snow, melting the icicles. Looking closely, there was a hand shape with a thumbs-up in the center of the red circle.

The four of them gathered in the red circle released by Bennett as quickly as flying birds, with serious and alert expressions as if they were facing a great enemy.

On the other side, "Albedo" slowly stood up, still with a rebellious smile on his face. The ice element quickly condensed into an ice flower shape in his right hand...

[Kaeya: It appears! The Fire God's Sword! ]

[Paimon: Nonsense, this is clearly a compliment from Wuxiang]

[Ying: There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the attack of the God of Fire]

[Cole: Why is it that only Mr. Bennett has activated the elemental explosion, while Eula and the others have been...]

【Eula: This...】

[Ying: Forgetting the elemental power in daily life]

[Amber: My elemental burst is of no use at all...]

[Klee: Brother Bennett’s elemental burst is really powerful]

[Paimon: Increase damage, quickly recover from injuries, enhance attack power...perfect support]

[Yae Shenzi: This ice ball looks very much like Ganyu's old moves.]

[Ying: For the Emperor of Rock King! ]

[Ganyu: Please... don't say it so loudly! ]

[Navia: If Miss Lisa hadn’t reminded me, I would have been a little confused. The Rock Elemental God’s Eye can actually use Ice Elemental skills.]

[Funina: Apart from the evil eye given by the traveler and the Ice Queen, ordinary people like us can only use one elemental power.]

[Albedo: Mr. Abe, what exactly do you want to do...]

..

Just when he was feeling proud and was about to use his ultimate move, a rapier pierced through his chest.

Albedo's expression turned into disbelief, and the others looked behind Albedo in surprise...

The other Albedo had a calm expression as he drew his sword seriously, and it was completely invisible that he had just ruthlessly and severely injured someone who looked exactly like him.

The sudden change made Paimeng see a scene that was not suitable for children. He quickly ran behind Ying and covered his eyes.

Everyone present was also shocked, and the situation gradually became out of control.

"It's not over yet!"

After hearing his words, everyone became nervous and looked around with vigilance. Their nerves were tense, and they dared not relax for fear of missing any details. At this moment, everyone suddenly noticed that the ice element aura emanating from the impostor who was severely injured by Abedo just now was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was going to freeze the entire space.

Under everyone's gaze, the fake Albedo's body was gradually covered by ice, forming a layer of hard ice. Then, something unexpected happened - when the ice layer broke, the fake Albedo reappeared in front of everyone, he turned into an extremely huge Liar Flower? !

This scene left everyone dumbfounded and in disbelief.

[Xiangling: Holy shit! What a big fake flower! ]

[Klee: Holy shit! What a big fake flower]

[Qin: Klee, stop swearing]

[Kaeya: Hmm... Abe-sama has turned into Abe-hana? ]

[Nashida: The Flower of the Liars doesn't seem to have the ability to mimic other forms, unless...]

【Wendy: It mutated! 】

[Xiang Ling: I wonder if eating this flower will affect my IQ...]

[Funina: Uh... this should also be from Abe, right? People can't eat it, right? ]

[Alice: That’s not necessarily the case. Coat it with egg liquid, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and fry it in a pan until it’s golden and crispy. The kids next door are crying for it.]

[Paimon: Paimon's food is not tasty, it tastes sour]

[Albedo: The snowy mountain is the burial place of the demon dragon Durin. It should be the mutation caused by absorbing Durin’s blood.]

[Goro: Soudi Si Nei! 】

[Sugar: Four times the size of the cheating flower, I really want to study it]

...

Several people joined forces to defeat Hanako who had returned to her original form. Finally, everyone was out of danger and had the time to ask Albedo what had happened.

Paimon was the first to ask, "What the hell is that thing? One moment it's a human, the next moment it's a plant..."

Albedo did not directly answer Paimon's question, but instead showed concern for everyone's injuries.

Amber put her hands on her hips, looked at Albedo seriously, and said, "No problem, but could you please explain the situation? I... I don't quite understand..."

Eula stood with her arms folded, and said to Albedo with a look of understanding: "This monster... is the one I encountered before."

Albedo nodded: "As you expected, it is an extremely rare mutant Trickster."

Paimon became even more confused and asked in surprise: "But can the Flower of the Immortal turn into a human?"

Albedo explained calmly, "Normally, it's impossible, but this is the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, so the situation is rather special. Perhaps the blood of the magic dragon accumulated on this land was passed to the monsters through the earth veins, causing them to mutate rapidly. The corpse of the magic dragon Durin is hidden in this snowy mountain. If life phenomena beyond imagination can appear somewhere on the continent, it is most likely here."

"Dulin is a miraculous life form created by humans. Its existence proves countless possibilities. Therefore, this snowy mountain we are in is essentially a nest of the mysteries of life... a huge and terrifying hotbed."

Eula didn't care about alchemy or anything like that. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "It seems that the avalanche was also caused by this impostor."

Albedo nodded without denying, "Yes. Including all the troubles you encountered on your way down the mountain, it may also be his masterpiece. I guess... it may be aimed at the people I have dealt with."

Amber was a little confused. What was the purpose of this trick? Did he want to kill us?

Albedo was silent for a moment, and tried his best to speak in a way that everyone present could understand.

"I have a preliminary guess about this. The Mimicry Flower is a creature that is good at mimicry. The Mimicry Flowers we encounter in the wild usually appear around the mimicked original. In other words, it is very likely that it has the consciousness of [getting close to the original and replacing the original] in its instinct. When it is a plant, it will disguise itself as other plants and join their tribe as a cover. The simulated plant will not notice it and has no way to resist this behavior. But when it disguises itself as a human..."

Paimon murmured, "It wants to join us instead of you?"

Albedo nodded. "Yes. Maybe he created the avalanche to get rid of us. I thought of this possibility in advance, so I hid in the avalanche and lured it to show up. It has been observing us. When it found that I disappeared, it immediately wanted to replace me. At this point, it has completed its disguise, and the next step is to hunt [prey]."

After listening to Albedo's detailed analysis, Amber couldn't help but start thinking. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Albedo said was right. It was indeed the most reasonable and convincing possibility. So she couldn't help but nod her head slightly to show her approval and murmured, "Hmm... From this point of view, it does fit the habits of the flower-cheater..."

And Eula thought more deeply, and said uncertainly: "It approached and attacked Joel... Was it a drill?"

Albedo shrugged and said, "Perhaps. Or...it also thinks it's interesting to mimic a human, and wants to experience what it's like to be a human."

Eula breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily we discovered it in time. The first person to notice something strange, besides Albedo, should be the Traveler, right?"

Ying smiled politely and said, "It was just luck. You are also very perceptive, Eula."

Albedo was also a little curious about how the Traveler knew that he was not himself.

Ying blinked and explained, "It's actually very simple. The fake one doesn't have a star on its neck."

Albedo was stunned and murmured, "So that's how it is... It shows how difficult it is to mimic a human. This mutant Liarflower has been as close to the original as possible, but it still missed some details."

Ying felt a little strange. The appearance of the Pianpian Flower seemed reasonable, but something was not right... Could it be that the fake one she encountered when chasing the thief that day was also it? It gave her a different feeling... Could it be that the changes of the Pianpian Flower were also unstable?

Seeing that the atmosphere was still a little tense, Bennett smiled and said, "But no matter what, we finally won. It seems that my method worked. Let's get rid of the bad luck first. Then good luck will come!"

Albedo: "Um... If you mean falling off the mountain without getting hurt, it's only because I was protecting you in secret."

Bennett was stunned at first, then scratched his head embarrassedly and said awkwardly: "Ah? Uh... I think this is also a kind of good luck!"

Albedo: "Haha, it's not wrong to think so. Well, after delaying for so long, it's time to move on."

Before leaving, Albedo looked up at the mountains, as if warning of something.

[Kaia: Very good, our protagonist has found the highlight! ]

[Paimon: Cat with a harlequin face, do you already know? ]

[Kaeya: No, I was playing with Klee the whole time]

[Ningguang: The Traveler is such a smart person, there is no way Albedo could not have thought of what he could think of, so he is hiding something, he must be the Abe-shao that Albedo mentioned.]

[Kujo Sara: Abehana's mimicry is Abe-sho, there is indeed this possibility]

[Paimon: Although Albedo said before that he would not hide it from us, I think this matter involves too many things, so he doesn't want us to get involved.]

[Leosley: Is that last look a warning? ]

[Ye Lan: Pian Pian Hua is just a cover, the mastermind behind this is probably Abei Shao]

[Klee: Abe is a bad brother, and Albedo is a good brother]

[Kaia: I feel like I’m looking at the screen]
