Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 56

Not only did they steal the idol and beat up his men, but they also ambushed him with that despicable weapon!

What's most hateful is—

They actually managed to turn Ying against him! Otherwise, Ying wouldn't have attacked him!

The thought of his sister being tricked by those four bastards into chasing him with a rope filled him with sorrow.

"Your Highness..."

A faint sound came from underground.

Kong looked down and saw the Abyss Apostle struggling to pull its head out of the ground: "Your subordinate... did its best..."

After a moment of silence, Kong slowly squatted down and patted his subordinate on the shoulder: "...You've worked hard."

------

Daines Reeb stood at the edge of the Windrise, silently gazing at the Seven Gods statue that the four-man group had "dealt with."

The foul energy that had been clinging to the statue was now completely suppressed by some kind of power. Even the grass under the statue's base remained as green as ever, and a few wind crystal butterflies even stopped to rest on it.

"...So, this is the origin of this statue?"

Dain's voice was somewhat hoarse, as if she was trying to process this absurd reality.

Qingyu shrugged.

“We’ve slightly ‘adjusted’ its energy structure, and now it can’t even be contaminated by an ant.”

Dain's brows furrowed even more. He reached out and touched the statue, but instead of the corrosive power of the abyss, he felt a strange... docile sensation.

"What exactly did you do to it?"

"Well..."

Er Kang scratched his head.

“Zhang Chu installed a ‘purifier’ on it, Gu Qian kicked it a couple of times, I washed it with water element, and Qing Yu even put a ‘no pollution’ talisman on it.”

Dain: "..." (This actually works?!)

He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples: "So, what should we do with this statue?"

"Bury it."

"I can't believe it," Dain finally said wearily.

Paimon floated in the air, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Is it really that simple and brutal?"

"Then what can I do?"

Dain looked at everyone helplessly.

“Smash it? What if the abyss energy leaks? Since it can’t even pollute anymore, burying it is better to avoid trouble.”

Qingyu shrugged and turned to look at Gu Qian.

"It's work."

Gu Qian nodded, pulled out a huge shovel from behind his back, and started digging a hole without saying a word.

His movements were incredibly fast; in just a few seconds, he dug a deep pit large enough to fit three wild boars.

Gu Qian kicked the statue into the pit, then quickly filled it in like burying a radish, even stomping on it twice to make sure it was secure.

Dain watched this scene, his lips twitching slightly: "...Is this how you usually handle dangerous items?"

"more or less."

Zhang Chu calmly patted the dust off his hands.

"Last time, a guardian at one of the ruins was too noisy, so we buried it like this."

Dain: "..." (Just who are these people?)

He shook his head and turned to leave: "I should go too. According to what you said, Kong has been injured, and the Abyss Order's actions will be temporarily restrained. I need to take this opportunity to continue my investigation."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Qingyu waved his hand.

"If you encounter any more trouble with the statues, remember to call us."

Dain paused for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed and disappeared into the depths of the woods.

A few days later, the residents of Fengqidi discovered that a strange tree had grown where the statue of the god was buried. The fruit on the tree could glow and could cure insomnia if eaten.

The Knights of Favonius had to station troops there to prevent the adventurers from exploiting them...

Chapter 58 Fushe

"Everyone! We've found it!"

Gu Qian's thunderous shout echoed through the mine of the layered rock abyss, and the seven-meter-tall Thunder King held up the ancient bronze plate as if it were a toy.

The Taiwei Instrument Plate appeared exceptionally small in his enormous palm, its ancient patterns gleaming with a mysterious bluish light under the illumination of the fluorescent plants in the mine.

"So fast?"

Qingyu's cloak nearly flew off as he turned around, and his eyes widened beneath the mask.

"We've only been looking for five minutes!"

Everyone quickly gathered around Gu Qian.

The wolf king's ears twitched slightly, and its three-meter-tall white body emitted a soft silver light in the dim mine: "Lord Gu Qian, where did you find it?"

Gu Qian scratched his head sheepishly, a few pebbles falling from his hair: "Um... I tripped and fell, breaking the floor... and then this plate fell from the ceiling..."

"It has been confirmed that it is indeed the Taiwei Instrument Panel."

The wolf king's eyes shot out blue scanning beams.

"A remnant soul reaction was detected internally."

Er Kang's mask was tilted to one side, which he straightened.

"There are clearly two people, Boyang and Fushe, so why is there only one?"

Zhang Chu sighed and took out a pair of special gloves from his backpack: "It should be... Boyang's soul has been completely annihilated."

He explained as he put on his gloves.

"After all, he is still a human being. Five hundred years have passed, and it's normal for his soul to be unable to withstand it."

"Wait a minute, I've got it!"

Zhang Chu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched his entire arm into the Taiwei Instrument Plate.

The surface of the ancient bronze plate rippled like water, emitting an eerie buzzing sound.

"Ahhhh!"

A roar came from the plate.

Before Zhang Chu could react, a dark figure darted out from the plate and delivered a top hook to his face.

The burly body of the Hill Crawler flew out like a rag doll, crashing heavily into the mine wall and creating a large, F-shaped crater.

"It's the remnant soul of Fushe!"

Qingyu quickly drew his wind elemental boomerang from his waist.

The dark figure materialized in mid-air—a burly figure with four arms, surrounded by purple lightning, with only a pair of scarlet eyes standing out on its blurred face.

The remnant soul of the Yaksha King let out a roar that was not human, shaking the entire mine and causing dust to fall.

"He's trying to escape!"

Paimon was so frightened that he hid behind Ying, only showing half of his head.

The wolf king immediately blocked the way they came to prevent Fushe from escaping.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Er Kang performed a tactical roll, his long legs clamping down on Fu She's lower limbs like scissors.

"Behold my strangulation technique!"

He shouted triumphantly, completely forgetting that he was facing a four-armed enemy.

Fushe looked down at the blue Hilichurl hanging on his lap, then slowly raised his other two arms...

Qingyu pulled a bottle of shimmering starlight from his backpack and rushed forward.

Er Kang, who was thrown into the air, crashed into Qing Yu like a bowling ball.

The vial traced a perfect parabola through the air, about to shatter on the rocky ground—

Ying's figure swept past like a gust of wind, catching the medicine bottle steadily with one hand.

She turned around abruptly, and the liquid in the bottle spilled out, precisely drenching the remnant soul of the floating abode.

"Zizzi-"

Purple smoke rose from Fushe's body as he roared in agony, his four arms flailing wildly.

But gradually, his movements slowed down, his crimson eyes regained their clarity, and his blurry body began to solidify...

“Boyang…brother…”

Fushe murmured, then his tall body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Everyone held their breath and gathered around.

The Wolf King quickly scanned the area: "Vital signs are stable, soul fluctuations are returning to normal, the medicine is working."

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Chu climbed out of the hole in the wall, his mask askew.

"Next time... let me do it... just let me know in advance..."

Gu Qian cautiously poked Fu She's face with one finger: "Is...is he still alive?"
