Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

“I haven’t heard of it.”

"But since you guys are going, I'll go with you.

Although I don’t know the reason, Guoba seems to have become much stronger recently. If you encounter any accidents, maybe I can help you.”

After thinking for a long time and still unable to figure out who the lord of this place was, Xiangling finally spread her hands and decided to go over with her two friends to take a look.

Deep in Benlang Ridge, in the center of the primitive jungle.

".Hua La"

The footsteps stepped on the dead leaves that had accumulated for many years, and the leaves broke with a crisp rustling sound.

Because the fallen leaves were so thick, the touch of the ground was very different from ordinary rocks and soil. To Ying, there was a subtle cushioning feeling, like stepping on snow.

After walking for a long time,

The closer you get to the central area, the quieter it becomes. At first, the number of animals decreased, but now even the chirping of insects has gradually disappeared.

Feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Paimon looked at the white air he exhaled in front of him, and shrank his neck with a puzzled look on his face:

"——By the way, is this really Wolf Ridge?

Why didn't I see any wolves except for that weird guy just now?"

"Also, it seems to be getting colder around here, as if there is a cold wind blowing from somewhere."

"Boom——"

"Roar--"

? ? !

Before he finished speaking, a sound like the collision of giant beasts was heard in the distance.

The bound black wolf suddenly became more excited than ever before.

Ying's heart tightened and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

“——Crunch.”

Without giving everyone time to react, a sharp sound that seemed to pierce the eardrums suddenly came from the surroundings.

In the middle of the dense woods, the space before one’s eyes seemed to be cracked into pieces like shattered glass, and from the dark cracks emerged strange colors that were difficult to describe with the naked eye.

"Roar--"

A deep roar was heard, and the King of the Beast Realm, whose entire body seemed to be made of gold, slowly emerged from the crack.

Under the gazes of Ying, Paimeng, and Xiangling, the snake-like body of the king beast left the other world at an extremely fast speed.

Even if one ignores the extremely powerful power of the abyss on the giant beast, and just looks at the pair of narrow eyes emitting greedy light, everyone can realize that this guy does not come with good intentions.

fluorescent:"."

Who is this? Where am I? What rare event has happened?

Why do I feel like every time Paimon opens his mouth, I become unlucky?

I thought my luck had improved after arriving in Mondstadt.

But after taking a look at the white-haired ball that quickly shrunk behind him, Ying suddenly felt the urge to regret and return the product.

"Trialist, back off."

???

"Since you are carrying such a favor, I will naturally guarantee your safety."

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded in my heart.

Ying and Xiangling were full of questions and were about to turn around to deal with the monster behind them.

But in just a blink of an eye, I suddenly found that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed.

"Kacha kacha——"

The crisp sounds of water in the air condensing into ice crystals could be heard one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding forests were covered with a layer of white frost.

Along with a kind of soul-freezing pressure, a biting cold wind like that from an extremely cold land kept coming from the other side of the strange giant beast.

"Ow—"

When the intruder realized that things were going badly and wanted to escape, the surrounding space had already been locked into a world of ice and cold.

It was as if it was the mercy of the lord of this place, leaving it with not only fear but also the last bit of time to watch itself gradually turn into an ice sculpture.

"Click——"

The pitch-black king beast and the hound that quietly opened the crack behind Ying were all frozen in place.

The ominous monster that Ying had thought was a powerful enemy just now was completely dealt with in the blink of an eye.

I have already guessed who created this "North Wind" that is as cold as winter.

Ying, who came here just to challenge the opponent, raised his head slightly and looked at the majestic giant wolf in front of him that seemed to be made of ice and snow.

Chapter 394: The Wolf King's Trial and the Resilient Ying

".The hounds in the beast realm can use their sharp claws to dissolve space.

Whether it was five hundred years ago or now, they are just guides for the real invaders. It is best to deal with them as soon as possible after hunting them down."

".But thanks to you, the annoying foreign invasions over this period of time seem to have finally come to an end."

The king beast was slain, and Andrius' figure slowly emerged from the dense forest.

With the help of some of the power left by His Majesty, it is now no weaker than when it was still alive.

He turned his eyes away from the ice and looked up at the guests in front of him.

As expected, it found that everyone who came here was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Lalu?"

A highly recognizable voice came.

Seeing the big wolf in front of him, the furry Guoba scratched his head, as if he was somewhat familiar with the current situation.

"."

“.Is that so?

I didn’t expect that besides me, there would be someone else who made a similar choice.”

Recalling some of the stories about Liyue that Barbatos had shared with him,

It didn't take Andrius long to determine the identity of the "demon" in front of him.

He looked at the ordinary large red panda, and then at the blue-haired girl beside it.

Andrius shook his head as he recalled some past events, and invited the guests:

"——The annoying noise has disappeared,

Trialists, welcome to your arrival."

"——I already know your purpose. Come over. I will be waiting for you at the trial field in the center of Benlang Ridge."

"."

The enemy has been dealt with, and the shape formed by ice and wind slowly dissipates.

The huge elements that condensed the body returned to the earth veins,

The only remaining part turned into a faint elemental track in front of Ying and Xiangling's eyes.

"."

I looked back at the two ice monsters that disappeared at the same time.

Ying and Paimon, who had not forgotten that the demon god was still in a "dead" state, looked at each other.

Suddenly I felt that there might be something wrong with their understanding of "death".

"——Ying, Rice Ball, come on!

Don't lose! I'll treat you to a big meal after this fight!"

A moment later, at the trial platform in the core area of ​​Benlangling.

With Xiangling cheering on,

In the scarred circular field,

The blonde girl dodged the attacks while strengthening herself with elemental power, trying to fight against the lord in front of her who was said to have passed away long ago.

"Om-"

Deep blue light spots quickly gathered, and the powerful spiral water cannon blasted straight forward.

I have grown a lot during this journey.

At this moment, Rice Ball, who appeared as a 'battle partner', showed his special fighting posture for the first time in a long time in order to suppress the phantom in front of him.

"boom--"

A compressed water cannon with a diameter as thick as an ancient tree shot out from the rice ball's mouth, sweeping across the stone ground in front in a circular trajectory.

But this powerful attack, which could normally even cut through a mountain, now caused almost no damage when it hit those ordinary-looking bluestones.

After dodging the wide-range elemental cannon in front of him,

The Wolf Lord bent his limbs slightly, and with the explosion of elements, he rushed to the other side of the venue at a speed that Paimon and Xiangling could not react to, rushing towards the blonde girl who was originally ready to wait for an opportunity.

"——Ying, be careful. Uh"

Above the platform, Paimeng Gang habitually shouted a reminder,

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized that this might disturb Ying who was fighting.

With trust in her partner, she and Xiangling huddled together, looking intently at the field below.

"."

"boom--"

The sword blade and sharp claws intertwined, but the giant wolf's huge body did not show any signs of encumbrance.

With trust in the person that His Majesty values, Andrius decided to show some sincerity in the trial for the first time in a long time.

"boom--"

A biting cold wind mixed with ice and as sharp as a blade rose from the giant wolf's feet like ripples.

In this circular explosion of dual-attribute elements, Onigiri and Ying, who seemed to Andrius to be a little short of the mark, were blown aside.

"Bala——"

He pushed his feet against the ground and used his arms to steady himself. The blade collided with the rock on the platform, rubbing out a series of dazzling sparks while shrieking.

Ying, who used this method to slow down, stood up from the ground and threw away the edgeless sword that he had temporarily taken out as a consumable.

He took a deep breath and switched back to the weapon given by Lin Feng.

"."

He took a short breath and looked at Andrius in front of him with a serious look.

Ying had never expected that without much use of elemental power, this lord's fighting skills would be so powerful:

——It was as if he had seen countless opponents in thousands of trials.

The giant wolf's attacks were sometimes as swift and silent as the breeze, and sometimes as fierce and swift as the gale.

But no matter which rhythm is adopted, in terms of the results alone, it can always just block her and Fantuan's original plans of action.

Obviously, the elemental cannon just now was a good opportunity that had been prepared for a long time.

But they didn't expect that even if two of them attacked together, they still couldn't disrupt the opponent's fighting rhythm that seemed like strolling in the garden.

"."

".The response is good, but it relies too much on instinct.
