In Genshin Impact, we start to save the Five Yakshas.

Chapter 468: Encirclement and Suppression of the Imperial Palace

"Whenever the moon is dark and the wind is strong, that's when we Batmen show up!"

Jiang Xun's consciousness is attached to a monster disguised as a human. The moon is asleep, the shadow hunters are asleep, but he, Jiang, is full of energy!

How can I sleep after being bored all day?

Although I can only passively watch the scenery, at least I have the opportunity to collect information.

Jiang Xun smiled slightly. The bat people sneaked into the palace tonight, perhaps because they realized that the guards here were stricter than other places.

Their brains, which were almost in a decorative state, also noticed this at this time, and they took action as soon as night fell.

As for why they are called bat people, it is of course because these guys are not only afraid of the sun, but their fighting ability is also hard to describe. They can only scare people at best. If a real fight breaks out, a drunk man can knock them down alone.

This is also a helpless move. If the combat power is too strong, it will probably be treated as a bug and fixed by the game rules.

The monsters came out in droves just like hungry bats coming out in groups to look for food at night, and dark shadows kept moving through the city.

Then they gathered around the palace.

"Oh no! Enemy attack!"

Such a large number of monsters moving together could still be spotted by patrolling guards even at night when visibility was poor.

The shouting broke the silence of the night sky. The guards, who were originally a little drowsy, suddenly lost their sleepiness and picked up their weapons and came over.

Before long, the entire palace was filled with flames, and the guards took torches and approached the monsters surrounding the palace.

They tried to use fire to scare away monsters and also tried to find courage from it. Although the torches did not have the effect the guards had hoped for, they at least served to provide lighting.

In the firelight, the figure of the monster came into view. Its twisted body and various features proved that it was not human.

"That rumor turned out to be true. The monster really sneaked into the city?!"

A guard said timidly.

The number of mosquito-like creatures swarming around was enough to prove that the city had probably been infiltrated by monsters long ago.

Now, if you walk down the street and throw a stone, you might hit a human disguised as a monster.

Apparently, he had no idea that these guys were strictly creatures of the night.

As soon as he finished speaking, the monsters around the palace seemed to be stimulated by something and rushed forward like crazy. Jiang Xun saw that something was wrong and hurriedly woke up Du Lin who was lying on the ground. He needed Du Lin to control these monsters.

If we start fighting here, won’t we be exposed?

Du Lin woke up from his sleep in a daze. In the blur, he seemed to see another self. In that world, there was also a dragon named Du Lin, who was also hated and spurned by people. However, he was not as lucky as him. He was successfully resurrected by Jiang Xun and the curse on his body was removed.

Thinking of this, Du Lin suddenly felt infinite gratitude towards Jiang Xun. He was just thinking about acting like a spoiled child to him, but unexpectedly Jiang Xun didn't notice this at all. He urged him anxiously, "Du Lin, quickly tell your little brother to stop, this is going to ruin my plan!"

Although Du Lin didn't know what was going on, he did it without hesitation. His identity as the Northern Demon Lord gave him absolute control over the monsters that were sent out. After he released his will, the monsters really gave up the attack.

But it was too late. The noise here had already spread to the surrounding area, waking up many residents from their sleep. This also woke up the hunter team. They came to the window and looked at the palace, which was now on fire. If you didn't look closely, you would think the palace was on fire.

Just as everyone was curious, they saw a figure leaping high. Clorinde quickly tidied herself up and rushed towards the palace through the windows and roofs.

The remaining few people also realized it later and followed the other party's footsteps. When they met them, they happened to encounter the monster who accepted the order to retreat.

The people present had all seen the world, and they could tell at a glance that these things were not human. They immediately used their strength to fight them. For a moment, elemental forces were flying everywhere, and with the talents of the Shadow Hunters in the game, everyone had miraculous effects in the battle.

Persuasion, physical enhancement, healing, summoning...

Clorinde displayed a level far beyond her normal state. Purple lightning flashed across the space, leaving fatal wounds on every monster.

However, there were so many monsters that despite everyone's frequent attempts, they still let quite a few escape. In the end, they had no choice but to conserve their strength and not pursue them any further.

"Strange, why are there no pursuers in the palace?"

At this time, Lini had a problem. Logically speaking, seeing that the enemy was in a state of disarray, the best option was to continue chasing, whether for the purpose of boosting morale or for dealing a heavy blow to the enemy. However, no one from the palace caught up.

This also became a question for everyone at this time.

"Hey, you said if we help them drive away these monsters, will they reward us?"

Paimon's little brain was thinking in other directions, and he asked excitedly.

"If Paimon goes over now, he will most likely be mistaken for the second wave of monsters' attack. We might even become the target of the soldiers' attack before we have a chance to explain."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

The soldiers must be in a state of extreme alert now, and any outsiders may be judged as enemies.

Paimon touched his head and realized that he had thought too simply, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Go back, everyone, and have a good rest. After what happened tonight, our plans tomorrow may encounter some major obstacles..."

Clorinde, who had been killing enemies in silence, suddenly spoke and left. Some of the remaining people had already understood what she meant, but some were still confused.

"Ha~, let's go, I feel like my skin is going to break after being woken up in the middle of the night!"

Funina's eyes were still sleepy, and she was eager to go back and catch up on her sleep.

Inside the palace

"Captain, why don't you let us chase them out?"

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy, don't you understand? Besides, what if this is their strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain? If His Majesty gets into danger, can you afford it?!"

The young man who was called the captain shouted coldly, and the soldiers who were shouted at broke out in cold sweats. Thinking about it, what the captain said was indeed reasonable. If they really wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the king would be in danger.

Florian's eyes were gloomy, he didn't know where these monsters came from, he only knew that after this battle, he needed to speed up his actions, he had to find something to hold against the king and force him to tell the whereabouts of the treasure.

The treasure can only be his!

Thinking of those treasures, his eyes revealed extreme greed. He wanted to find those treasures, and then inherit their legacy and make them public, so that the Shadow Hunters could get the respect they deserve, instead of living in obscurity!
