Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler

Following Gu Chen's words, Paimeng couldn't help but start to imagine.

How big a cave must it be to make the huge Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain almost hollow?

After thinking about it, Paimeng was a little curious:

"Gu Chen, what's in this huge cave?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Chen replied boredly:

"Ice, snow, monsters, minerals, ruins, mechanisms... that sort of thing."

This calm tone without any emotional ups and downs made Paimon frown:

"Uh... there's so much stuff in there, why am I not interested anymore after you tell me about it?"

Shaking his head, Paimon continued to regain his interest:

"Is there a treasure chest or something in there?"

Gu Chen nodded:

"Of course there are. There should be quite a few."

Paimon was visibly excited:

"So...should we go in and explore?!"

Eula, who was standing next to her, put her hand on her forehead.

"Paimon, don't forget the important things, we still have to find Albedo.

So much time has passed, and I still don't know whether it was Albedo who subdued the Sword of Humus or the Sword of Corrosion that eliminated Albedo.

If it's the former then it's fine.

After Albedo subdues the Sword of Humus, he will definitely return to his camp. After a while, we just need to go back to his camp and meet up.

But if it's the latter... the consequences will be disastrous."

After being reminded of this, Paimon quickly woke up:

"Yes, yes, we still have to look for Albedo.

Gu Chen, where should we go next? Should we go into this Xingying Cave?"

Gu Chen spread his hands:

"I've been searching outside for a long time but can't find him. I might as well look inside the cave. Maybe Albedo is in the Starlight Cave."

"Then let's go in!"

Just as the three were about to enter the cave, Albedo's echoing voice suddenly came from deep inside the cave:

"No, I'm fine. I subdued the Humus Sword."

Following this voice and the gazes of the three people, Albedo's figure slowly walked out from the dark and lightless place deep in the cave.

You know what, this way of appearing out of the darkness is really quite cool.

In addition, when Albedo walked out, he was still holding the Sword of Humus in his hand.

After carefully observing Albedo and finding that he had no injuries, the three of them couldn't help but look at the Sword of Humus in his hand.

The Sword of Humus still emits an ominous black and purple light, but it does not feel as violent anymore, and it is very obedient in Albedo's hands.

Seeing this, Paimon looked surprised:

"Albedo, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Albedo, who had completely walked out of the cave, nodded at the three of them:

"Sorry for making everyone worried."

Eula also visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

After she breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Albedo leisurely:

"So, the Humus Sword really took you into the Glowing Star Cave?"

Albedo nodded:

"Yes, maybe the Humus Sword feels that the Starlight Cave is safer.

But it was still a step behind, and I subdued it, and I also temporarily sealed the soul of the dragon Durin within it."

Eula nodded and sighed:

"You are truly worthy of being me. We were worried about you. How did you manage all this?"

Albedo replied calmly:

"It relies on alchemy. I'm sure you don't understand the specific principles, but it took a lot of effort on my part.

By the way, where are the others? Why aren’t they with you?”

When asked about this, Gu Chen explained calmly:

“We are splitting up into groups to search for you.

Xiangling and Shen He are in one group, Rosaline is in a separate group, and we will be in three groups, heading in different directions to look for you.

It seems that the three of us are lucky to have met you first."

"Are the other two groups okay?"

“It should be fine.

Although it is not safe in the snowy mountains, the dangers are limited.

And before we split up, I already agreed with them that after dark, regardless of whether we found it or not, we would all meet up at your camp."

"That's it..."

Seeing that Gu Chen was very thoughtful, Albedo breathed a sigh of relief:

"I'm really sorry to bother you.

It is not my wish to mobilize such a large force to look for me.

Let's go back to my camp and wait for everyone to meet up.

When I get back, I'll make a pot of hot soup for everyone to warm up. It's also my way of making amends."

Hearing what Albedo said, Eula couldn't help but laugh:

"Albedo, when did you become so stingy? You're sending us away with just a pot of hot soup?"

Albedo was a little caught off guard:

"Oh, sorry, a pot of hot soup is certainly not enough to express my feelings.

This time, I owe you all a favor. I'll repay you later, okay?"

Eula smiled brightly:

"There's no need to be so polite, we're all friends, it's all good as long as the intention is there.

But, Albedo.

Although the Humus Sword has been subdued, we haven't yet figured out the truth of the matter.

How did the spirit of the Demon Dragon Durin suddenly appear? Why is he targeting you so?

Their souls were obviously blown up by Gu Chen, so why did they gather together and drill into the Sword of Humus, causing us trouble again?

I feel that there must be a lot of conspiracies involved, as if it is shrouded in a layer of fog.

It’s really hard to feel at ease when these things can’t be clarified.”

Following Eula's words, Albedo pondered for a moment:

“Indeed, this matter is not simple, there must be someone behind it.

But it’s getting late today, so let’s go back to the camp first.

After returning, I will have dinner and take a rest to replenish my energy. I will talk about the investigation tomorrow.

And... I can also study the Humus Sword. Maybe I can find some clues in it?"

Gu Chen agreed very much:

“Yeah, I thought so too.

Okay, no more nonsense, let's go quickly and try to get back to the camp before dark."

Thus, the four of them reached a common agreement.

They left the cave, walked on the snow on the ground, and walked along the winding and uneven road towards Albedo's camp.

It is worth mentioning that the position of the four of them in the marching team is very interesting.

Gu Chen, Paimon, and Eula walked in front, while Albedo, holding the Sword of Humus, quietly followed a few steps behind, as if he was covering their retreat.

During the journey, Eula also asked Albedo why he didn't store the Sword of Humus in the Eye of God?

Albedo replied that the Sword of Humus had just been subdued and was still a little unstable. If it was stored directly in the Eye of God, an accident might happen.

Just in case, it would be better for him to keep it in hand.

Well, this reason is very sufficient, and Eula didn't care after hearing it.

On the surface, he doesn't care.

Actually...

The three of them walked in front, exchanging glances from time to time.

Albedo followed behind them, his expression calm and expressionless.

The four of them walked in the snow-capped mountains. For a moment, no one spoke, and there was only the sound of footsteps on the snow.
