I picked up this little grass god.

"Is it your turn to talk too much? Grandma must teach you a lesson today!"

Xitrali took the Winter Ice Guard with both hands, turned it sideways and was about to hit Olorun with the sword.

“Ahhh! Don’t be so angry, Xitlari! We didn’t get nothing this time! At least we know that the captain doesn’t plan to continue to steal the Heart of God!”

"Let's talk about anything after we get back, okay?"

Paimon was frightened by Sitrali and quickly raised his hands to try to stop Sitrali.

"Yeah, yeah, don't hit the child here!"

Ying and Krevi also quickly protected O'Loren.

"call……"

"Listen carefully. You are still standing now thanks to their pleading. Don't think that I don't intend to punish you."

Xitlalli exhaled, returned the Winter Ice Guardian in her hand to Liu Bai and spoke to O'Loren.

O'Loren nodded gratefully to Ying and the others.

In this way, everyone returned to the Holy Fire Arena with Olorun.

After they left, Capitano slowly appeared from where he had disappeared.

"This thing is not an ordinary trick, so I can't sense its energy and aura..."

Capitano raised one hand and muttered to himself as he looked at a piece of stone with an emerald green snake pattern on it.

After Sitrali appeared, he had actually been beside her the entire time, concealing his own aura and hiding himself with the help of this talisman.

"But this thing is Nata's glory after all. It's time to return it after five hundred years. Perhaps Olorun is a good candidate for the inheritance..."

……

"Ah! I've never met a kid like you in my entire life!"

"Don't you know the pros and cons of this matter? O'Loren, you're not stupid!"

On the way back to the Holy Fire Arena, Xitrali rubbed her wrist while thinking about what had just happened. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally she couldn't help but shout.

Liu Bai, who was standing next to him, was using his virtual phone to order takeout when he got so frightened that he almost dropped the phone.

"Why did you help the captain? Tell me the truth!"

Xitrali pointed at Olorun and spoke sternly.

She couldn't bear to wait until she returned to the Holy Fire Arena to find out. She had to find out now.

You know, if you put it in a serious way, this matter is "treason"!

If Vulcan hadn't stopped pursuing the matter, his picture and name would have been on the wanted poster.

"..."

Once again, Olorun remained silent.

"Ha, you don't want to tell me? Sure, you're amazing. Let me change the question."

"What is the captain going to do? What is his relationship with Nata?"

Seeing that Olorun didn't speak, Xitlal tried to change the question.

"..."

Olorun lowered his head slightly and did not respond.

"Playing dead? You actually played dead in front of grandma?!"

Seeing that Olorun still refused to speak, Xitlalli widened her eyes in anger.

"Grandma, don't be angry. You'll get wrinkles."

After Liu Bai ordered the takeout, he put away his phone and spoke to Xitlari.

"..."

After hearing Liu Bai's words, Xitlari let out a breath to calm herself down.

"Think carefully, will helping the captain bring you any benefit? It will only bring endless troubles to you and the entire Smoke Riddle Lord."

"You are usually quite obedient, why were you so impulsive and reckless this time? If you have any concerns, you can talk to grandma instead of taking this approach."

Having calmed down, Sitali continued walking forward while speaking.

"…I'm sorry that you guys have to listen to it too."

O'Loren spoke apologetically to Liu Bai and Ying.

"Nothing. As the saying goes, having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. Others don't even have the chance to be scolded by their own grandmother."

Liu Bai spread his hands indifferently, and Ying and the others nodded in agreement.

"Hey! You dare to whisper behind my back! You!"

After walking for a while, Sitrali found that no one was following her, so she turned back and shouted angrily.

Everyone then hurriedly caught up with Sitrali.

"Hehehe...ha...that's all!"

Xitrali seemed to be so angry that she laughed.

"Anyway, an old woman with no prestige like me will just listen to what I say. You guys are so powerful that you won't listen to me."

"You say you respect me as your grandmother, but what do you really think?"

"Don't let Eefa send any potatoes and cabbage to my house anymore. I don't want anything from a stinky kid like you."

Sitrali said, waving her hand and turning her head away.

"Who is Eefa... a courier?"

Paimon couldn't help but ask Olorun in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter! If you hang out with this guy for too long, he must be no good."

"Alas... Once a child grows up, it's out of control. What can I say?"

When Xitrali heard Paimon's question, she answered it first, then put her hands on her hips and sighed helplessly.

"Olorun, if you are still thinking about the so-called mission, you are really wrong."

"It is absolutely not your fault that the leyline has become like this, and that matter has long been forgotten."

As if she had thought of something, Xitlal suddenly spoke to Olorun.

However, Liu Bai and Ying couldn't understand what was said.

"No, Grandma."

After being silent for a long time, Olorun finally answered.

It's just that his voice sounded a little strange, and it didn't sound like he was talking face to face...

"You always say some self-deprecating words, but I know that many of them are just talk. I also know that you are really sad this time. I'm sorry."

Olorun said apologetically to Xitrali.

His voice seemed to come from far away, and it became quieter and quieter, as if it was getting farther away.

"This voice...Olorun, where are you?"

Xitrali also realized the problem and asked Olorun while looking around.

"I'm really sorry. Saving Nata is everyone's responsibility. I have to go."

Olorun did not answer, but made an apologetic statement.

Afterwards, the "Olorun" in front of everyone disappeared, and the real Olorun appeared in the distance and turned around and ran away.

"Olorun, come back here! Olorun..."

Xitrali called out twice, but Olorun had already run away.

Perhaps because Xitrali was angry, the trick that Olorun used plant spores to create was completely undetectable.

After losing track of Olorun, everyone had to return to the Sacred Fire Arena, and Xitrali looked a little lost.

"Are you guys free? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? It's my treat."

Xitlari suddenly made a proposal to Liu Bai and Ying.

"I've just ordered takeout. Let's go to the restaurant and borrow a table."

Liu Bai glanced at the reply on his phone and explained.

"Takeout? Never mind, it's all the same..."

Xitlari was in no mood to study the new thing in Liu Bai's hand. She just nodded and agreed.

Then everyone came to the House of Tiredness.

Although it was late at night, the House of Tiredness was open until very late.

Liu Bai took out some takeout from the Little White House to be delivered to the Jingshan Palace, and Xitlari bought some wine from the House of Tiredness.

Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together, while Sitrali drank alone.

Seeing the wine that Xitrali ordered, Liu Bai also poured himself a large glass.

He remembered that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and he was fine even though he drank a lot at the last wedding banquet!

Tons tons tons——

"Yes, you want to compete with me in drinking capacity, right? Come on... drink more!"

Xitrali looked at Liu Bai with drunken eyes, then slammed the table, picked up the wine glass, tilted her head back and started drinking.

After a while, the two put down their wine glasses and slumped in their seats in a daze.

"Liu Bai, Xiterali, are you all right?"

Seeing that the two men became quiet after drinking, Paimon called out to them worriedly.

"Um... who called me? Hum, good, you dare to call my name... burp!"

"...You want to compete with Obsidian's Xitrali, right?"

Sitrali responded drunkenly from her daze, looking completely confused.

As for Liu Bai, he looked like he was in a daze, but in fact he had been asleep for a while.

……

The next day, when Liu Bai woke up, he had forgotten why he was in bed.

"Hmm...why is it so noisy..."

Liu Bai yawned, got up dazedly, put on his clothes, and walked out of the House of Tiredness.

Everyone in the hotel was discussing the invasion of the abyss. It seemed that the abyss launched attacks on many places last night.

Not only Liu Bai was woken up, but Ying, Xitlari and others in the next room also woke up.

"I heard that many places have been attacked by the Abyss, and Lord Yanmi has become one of the targets. I must go back immediately."

After understanding the situation, Xitlari immediately explained it to Liu Bai and Ying.

Afterwards, Xitlari hurried back to Yanmizhu, while Ying and the others felt that the Holy Fire Arena was short of people, so they decided to stay and help.

Liu Bai remembered that he was here to protect Ying from death, so he continued to follow Ying.

When we got to the square, we soon met two acquaintances, Malani and Ianshan.

"Travelers, you came at the right time. This is an emergency and it's time for you to show your skills!"

Malani greeted everyone and spoke excitedly.

"Eh? We don't know the exact situation yet."

Hearing what Maranie said, Paimon scratched his head in confusion.

"Let me explain. The Abyss suddenly attacked the Nation of Wolu, the Lord of Smoke Riddles, the Son of Echo, and several camps and watchtowers in the wild."

Ianshan began to explain the current situation.

"There is one more thing. Varessa was taken care of by the abyss monsters and suffered some minor injuries. I have to rush back to the Land of Wolu to check on her condition."

After explaining, Ianshan added another sentence.

"Who is Vanessa?"

Liu Bai scratched his head. It was a name he had never heard of before.

"She is my disciple, but that is not important. The important thing is that she has a talisman with a blue bull's head painted on it."

Ianshan explained the other party's identity and pointed out the key points.

"Eh? A charm? Like this one?"

Paimon froze for a moment and pulled out the monkey charm that had been with her.

Mavica did not take back the monkey talisman in the end, because she felt that if Paimon kept it, Paimon, who had little fighting power, could help the travelers, so it was very suitable to use this talisman.

"Yes, and the situation is not just that. Kinichi and Kuike, several people we know who hold the talisman, have received special attention from the Abyss."

"Just as Lord Vulcan guessed, the Abyss must have noticed these talismans a long time ago and wanted to get them."

Malani nodded and added.

They just learned about this from Mavica.

"Wow... Then, isn't the talisman in my hand very dangerous?"

Upon hearing that people with the talisman had become the main targets of attack by the Abyss, Paimon was so scared that he almost dropped the monkey talisman in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, just help me from behind."

Ying comforted Paimeng, which made her feel at ease.

"Besides that, Aoi was ambushed when she came back from Echo Son last night and was seriously injured. Fortunately, Chaska rescued her in time. You can go to the infirmary to see them later."

At this time, Yianshan added something that made Ying and the others feel nervous.

Ianshan was busy rushing back to the Kingdom of Wolu, while Marani was going to help the Sons of Echo, and the two quickly said goodbye to Liu Bai and the others.

Ying, on the other hand, took the others to the medical center.

Because they had just been attacked by the Abyss last night, there were many people in the medical center at this time. After some inquiries, they found out the ward where Kuike was.

In the room, Kuike was lying on the hospital bed, and Chaska was guarding beside her.

"Traveler...why are you here?"

Chaska was surprised to see Ying and the others coming.

"We heard that Aoi was attacked by a demon from the abyss. Is she okay?"

Ying looked at Aoi who was lying on the bed worriedly and asked Chaska.

"The situation is not bad. His life is saved. The power of the abyss has been basically dispelled, but he has not woken up yet."

Chaska explained Kuike's situation.

"What about the horse charm? Why not use it?"

Liu Bai still remembered the doctor named Kuike, so he couldn't help but ask.

"...I didn't find the horse charm on her. Maybe...it has been lost."

Chaska was silent for a moment before explaining truthfully.

"Eh……?"

Upon learning that Abyss had actually succeeded, everyone except Liu Bai felt a little depressed.

But at this moment, Aoi opened her eyes and held Chaska's hand.

"The spell...is not lost..."

Aoi's hoarse voice sounded.

"For safety... I didn't bring it with me..."

"It's in... huh?!"

Before Aoi could finish her words, a hand reached out from the side and stuffed something into her mouth.

"It's not good to die before you finish talking."

After stuffing the things in, Liu Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before withdrawing his hand, he wiped the saliva on his fingers on the bed sheet, and then put away the moldy fried egg.

"Um...ahem!"

The terrible taste in her mouth, which was like the thick soup that day, made Aoi cough violently and sit up from the bed.

"I'm fine? The power of the abyss is gone? The effect is exactly the same as the talisman..."

After recovering a little, Aoi looked down in surprise at her body that suddenly felt better, and said with a look of shock.

She had thought that the horse charm was the only holy relic in the world that could be called a miracle.

"Kui Ke, from today on, you are not allowed to act alone again, otherwise the Abyss will definitely attack you again."

"If you think it's too dangerous, give the talisman to Lord Kagami for safekeeping."

Seeing that Kuike had recovered, Chaska looked at Liu Bai with gratitude, and then gave Kuike serious instructions.
