Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

The weathered man looked down at Xu Ning, somewhat puzzled as to why the little boy seemed to have suddenly become excited.

"Did you sneak out to play? It's dangerous in the wild, you should go home right away."

"If you can't remember the way back, just walk that way, that's where Wangshu Inn is..."

Xu Ning waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we know the way back."

"My name is Xu Ning, and this is my younger sister, Beidou. She lives in the fishing village west of Wangshu Inn. May I ask how I should address you?"

This is forced information exchange.

I've already introduced myself, so you can't be stingy with your name, can you?

Of course, once we've exchanged names, we're good friends, right?

The weathered man sighed, feeling somewhat helpless against Xu Ning's petty tricks.

"Um... just call me Jiang Xue."

Sure enough, it's you!

Xu Ning raised his wine gourd and recited in a drawn-out voice, "Fishing alone on a snowy river, what a name, what a beautiful imagery! Just for this beautiful name, I have to drink a cup!"

Upon hearing Xu Ning recite the poem, Jiang Xue's usually indifferent expression subtly changed, and she looked at Xu Ning with a rather complicated expression.

"You'd better leave here quickly, monsters are coming soon."

The little girl from Beidou tilted her head and watched Xu Ning without saying a word.

She sensed that Xu Ning was trying to curry favor with the man in front of her, but she couldn't see anything special about him.

Just then, Jiang Xue said that the monster would be coming soon.

Beidou finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you know the monster was coming? I saw nothing around here, it was all quiet!"

Jiang Xue replied calmly, "Of course you can't spot them with your eyes alone. But I'm so familiar with these monsters that I know exactly when they'll arrive."

Xu Ning, who was standing to the side, suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's alright, I'll help you deal with the monster if it comes. You and your sister can just stay here and fish, or better yet, if you could give us some pointers."

Jiang Xue was finding the drunken little boy in front of her increasingly difficult to deal with.

Moreover, in what he just said, the little boy clearly wasn't referring to fishing skills, so how did he know he had the strength to deal with those monsters?

Xu Ning took Beidou's little hand and led her to Jiang Xue's side.

He instructed, "When the monsters come, you stay next to this uncle. Observe their movement patterns and attack habits carefully; you'll need to use them later."

Beidou nodded obediently.

After setting up the Beidou system, Xu Ning picked up his wine gourd and began to gulp down his liquor.

"Let me see what it's like to unleash my full power!"

In the center of this small island, there are six small stone lions, all facing outwards, forming a circle with a gap.

A cloud of black mist billowed out, and several Hilichurls suddenly appeared from among the stone lions, then bared their fangs and claws and charged straight toward them.

Three little figures were now lying above Xu Ning's field of vision, indicating that he had stacked the "drunk" state to three levels.

"Almost there, hiccup, let's drink as we go!"

Xu Ning let out a regretful hiccup and swayed as he strolled over to greet him.

Despite the effects of the alcohol, Xu Ning's consciousness did not become clouded; instead, it became even more acute.

Four Hilichurls.

Leading the charge were two Rock Shield Hilichurls wielding stone shields.

However, the first to launch an attack will inevitably be the charging Hilichurl, which is protected by two Hilichurls behind it.

The shaman who lagged behind at the back of the grassy hill took two steps and then stood still.

Muttering strange incantations, grass began to form beneath Xu Ning's feet, preparing to imbue Xu Ning with grass elemental energy.

"Hey, not bad, you even know how to team up!"

The front-line tanks provide shield cover, the back-line mages apply debuffs, and the main damage dealers prepare for a surprise attack.

Xu Ning couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Xu Ning felt the grass element gathering beneath his feet, then took two steps to the side and left the grassland.

The grass element attached to my body didn't cause any harm.

However, if you get your hands on the torch from a charging Hilichurl, triggering a burning reaction, the continuous fire damage can be extremely painful.

The Grass Hill Shaman missed its target, roared from behind, changed its incantation, and continued casting.

Two Rock Shield Hilichurls split up to flank Xu Ning from the left and right, while the Charging Hilichurls brandished burning torches and charged towards him rapidly.

If Xu Ning were playing a game in his previous life, he could have made it shine all over the world in a flash.

However, with Beidou behind him now, although he is absolutely safe with the big shot Jiang Xue by his side, it still doesn't look good on him.

Xu Ning simply dodged the attack with the stick, then suddenly kicked it in the waist, knocking it to the ground.

Then, with a leap, he jumped over the poisonous vines that were spreading on the ground and headed straight for the shaman in the back of the grassy hill.

Drunken Fist - The Eight Drunken Immortals.

Hilichurl shamans are usually elderly. Before Xu Ning could finish his Drunken Fist move, the grass-like Hilichurl shaman, along with its large, moth-like shaman staff, vanished in a cloud of black mist.

"It has its own set of rules, and its variations are unpredictable. Your boxing skills are quite good. Who taught your brother?" Jiang Xue asked Bei Dou.

Beidou honestly replied, "It was created by Xu Ning."

"Originated?" Jiang Xue shook her head without speaking, not quite believing it.

While the two were talking, Xu Ning had already swiftly killed the remaining three Hilichurls.

The two Rock Shield Hilichurls died the most pathetically. Xu Ning had no intention of trying to break their shields. He circled around them twice and then killed them one by one from behind.

With the death of the four Hilichurls, two more clouds of black mist rose from the circle formed by the stone lions.

As soon as the two wooden shield Hilichurls revealed themselves, they launched a long-range charge with their wooden shields in hand.

Behind them was another Water Hill Shaman, silently waving his shamanic staff, which resembled a large fly.

Xu Ning downed another mouthful of strong liquor, and the number of "drunk" signs in his field of vision finally reached four.

Just as the two wooden shield Hilichurl mobs were about to hit me, I quickly took two steps back.

With two whooshing sounds, the two wooden shields that had been swung into the air created a gust of wind in front of Xu Ning.

"Those two steps were bold yet meticulous, and you remained calm and collected. Your brother is truly remarkable!"

Even Jiang Xue couldn't help but praise Xu Ning for retreating.

Beidou felt honored and proudly said, "Xu Ning is the most powerful."

The wooden shield missed its mark, and the two Hilichurl thugs froze for a moment.

Skill: Drunken Madness

Xu Ning suddenly gathered up all the alcohol in his body and unleashed a drunken, frenzied area-of-effect attack.

With all four buffs at their maximum and the highest attack power bonus, Xu Ning's attack at this moment can be considered the strongest strike he can unleash right now.

Including the wine gourd, Xu Ning's head, shoulders, elbows, fists, fingers, knees, and feet are all weapons.

Xu Ning didn't know how many attacks he launched around him at that moment. Amidst the refreshing aroma of wine, the high-frequency attacks produced sounds like the roars of dragons and tigers.

The two wooden shields, as if made of paper, shattered into pieces under Xu Ning's attack.

The two Hilichurl thugs didn't even have time to roar in anger at losing their wooden shields before they were reduced to black mist and died under the relentless attacks.

The only minor discordant note was that Jiang Xue, who was watching from the sidelines, also received extra care from Xu Ning.

Amidst the high-frequency attacks, Xu Ning even managed to flick his gourd and smash it into Jiang Xue's face.
