"Um, you saved me, didn't you?"

Looking at Mu Xian again, Xiao Gong's eyes were filled with gratitude: "My name is Naganohara Xiao Gong, you can also call me Xiao Gong."

"My savior, what's your name?"

Mu Xian tore off another piece of roasted meat, glanced at the little fox who had walked over, and then handed the piece of meat over.

"Hu Muxuan." Mu Xian tore off another piece of meat: "You've woken up now. It's time to leave after you've eaten your fill."

As he spoke, Mu Xian tossed the object in his hand to Xiao Gong.

Mu Xian's sudden request for people to leave caught Xiao Gong off guard.

Before Xiaogong could say anything more, the thing Muxian threw flew towards Xiaogong, who had no choice but to catch it.

He held the object in his hand and realized it was his own Eye of God.

With the Eye of God hanging back on his waist, Xiaogong took a bite of the meat with both hands.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Hu Muxuan again.

"Um, Mu Xuanjun, are you going to the Rongcai Festival? We happen to be..."

"No, I'm going to Narukami Taisha Shrine."

Mu Xian interrupted Xiao Gong abruptly, causing Xiao Gong's expression to freeze, still maintaining the excited look of wanting to invite Mu Xian to travel together.

"Narukami Taisha... Hahaha, so that's where Ken-kun is going."

After a few stiff laughs to ease the awkwardness, Xiaogong continued, "So, it's been a long time since I've been to Narukami Shrine."

"Anyway, the Rongcai Festival hasn't started yet, so I'll go with Hu Muxuan to Narukami Shrine to take a look."

After finishing the grilled meat in a few bites, Mu Xian turned his attention back to Xiao Gong.

The cold gaze made Xiao Gong feel uneasy. Just when Xiao Gong couldn't stand the stare anymore, Mu Xian looked away.

"How you leave is none of my business."

Mu Xian opened his mouth, his gaze fixed on the roasted pig in front of him, and suddenly lost his appetite.

However, Mu Xian tore off another large piece of roasted meat from the roasted pig and swallowed part of it whole.

The girl's golden pupils lit up, and she moved closer to Mu Xian as if they were old friends.

"Hey, Mu Xuanjun, how did you deal with those two strange demons?"

"Hey, Mu Xuanjun, you're from Liyue, right? Why are you going to Narukami Shrine?"

"Na na na..."

The chattering noises made Mu Xian bite off a piece of the roasted meat in his hand, and then he looked at the little fox next to him.

The roasted meat that had been thrown to the fox earlier had been completely eaten, but the fox still seemed unsatisfied, staring longingly at Mu Xian.

“How greedy.”

"Hey? Mu Xuanjun, what were you saying earlier? I didn't hear you clearly..."

Ignoring the voice coming from behind him again, Mu Xian tossed the leftover roasted meat to the little fox.

The power of the Evil Eye was withdrawn, and the flames beside it gradually went out.

The fact that most of the roasted meat was left left made Mu Xian's eyes look conflicted, but soon, the conflict in his eyes turned into coldness.

As he turned his head, an arrow grazed Mu Xian's ear.

The sound of something cutting through the air reached Mu Xian's ears, followed by a shout from a Hilichurl.

Kuzi Aba!

Xiao Gong was also startled by the sudden commotion and looked at Mu Xian with concern.

"Mu Xuanjun, are you alright?"

Mu Xian didn't answer, but instead looked in the direction the Hilichurl had shouted.

One by one, Hilichurls emerged from the bushes, wielding their giant axes to chop down a tree trunk.

A Hilichurl thug carrying a giant axe appeared in the center of the group of Hilichurls, his blood-red eyes surrounded by fire elemental power.

Chapter 52 The Unyielding Wooden Stick

He picked up a stick from the ground and waved it around casually.

It feels good in the hand, and its unyielding quality impressed Mu Xian.

So Mu Xian stepped on the broken piece of the stick that was on the ground and broke it off again.

Looking at the broken wooden stick in his hand, Mu Xian, unusually, felt the urge to get a weapon.

After all, Inazuma is not as good as Liyue. You can just walk around outside the city and you'll find a wandering martial arts fanatic who says, "Let me try my sword."

Just as Mu Xian was staring at the wooden stick in his hand, thinking about what weapon to prepare, Xiao Gong suddenly appeared in front of him.

She held the short bow she had used before and puffed out her chest confidently.

"Leave these Hilichurls to me. Even if I'm injured, I can still handle them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xian's gaze shifted from the piece of wood in his hand to Xiao Gong's face.

Seeing that confident expression, Mu Xian was about to tell Xiao Gong that these monsters were somewhat unusual, but the girl had already turned around to face the group of Hilichurls.

The wound on his fingertip allowed Xiaogong to switch to his other hand to draw the bow, but it did not affect the gathering of fire element at the tip of the arrow in the slightest.

Perhaps to prove himself, Yomiya drew the bowstring to its fullest extent.

Bathed in the light of fire, the girl wore a smug smile.

"You'd better watch carefully."

"Now, the fireworks are starting!"

The arrow, imbued with the raging power of fire element, then embedded itself in the ground not far from the group of Hilichurls.

The moment the arrow hit the ground, it was as if some fuse had been triggered, and the fire elemental power concentrated to the extreme on the arrow body burst forth in an instant.

The explosion first knocked over the Hilichurls holding crossbows, and the ensuing flames devoured all the monsters, including the Hilichurl mobs.

Perhaps feeling that he had wiped out the group of Hilichurls with a single move, Xiaogong turned to look at Muxian before the explosion had even subsided.

"How are you? I feel... ouch... it hurts so much."

The girl put her hands on her hips, about to proudly show off to Mu Xian, but the large movement suddenly aggravated her wound, and her proud expression turned into a pitiful look.

Mu Xian glanced indifferently at the girl who had crouched down because she couldn't bear the pain, and then turned his gaze back to the distance.

The explosion that Xiaogong had caused earlier gradually disappeared, revealing what the aftermath of the explosion looked like.

The thug wielding the giant axe was still standing there unharmed, and even from a distance, Mu Xian could see the white vapor emanating from under the thug's mask.

The explosions weren't entirely useless; they not only cleared out the Hilichurls surrounding the thug, but also enraged it.

The enraged Hilichurl's eyes grew even redder as it stared at Xiaogong, who was crouching next to Muxian because the movement aggravated his wounds.

The Hilichurl mob charged toward the Night Palace, dragging its giant axe, its hatred driving it to want to cleave the enemy who had killed its companion in two!

The violent aura caused the ground to tremble, and Xiaogong noticed the commotion behind him a second later.

Turning my head, I saw a dark shadow that was gradually growing larger.

"How come this Hilichurl is still alive?"

Xiaogong stared in surprise, but realized something after seeing the red light flashing on the dark figure.

"Something's not right with this Hilichurl."

Ignoring his wounds, Xiaogong's expression turned serious.

She tried to stand up and distance herself from the thugs, but a large hand pressed down on Xiaogong's head and pushed her back down.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

With a hint of anger in his question, Xiao Gong looked up and saw a piece of wood fly past him.

The flying stick, with a faint flame burning at one end, struck the Hilichurl's head the next breath.

Perhaps the Hilichurl's charge was too forceful, or perhaps the force with which it threw the stick was too great.

The thug, as tall as two palaces, was knocked backward by the wooden stick, which also stopped his forward momentum.

Sparks flew as wood chips scattered, and the sticks that had been used fell at the feet of the hill thugs.

The horde, having halted its momentum, shook its head with a "whoosh," took a step forward, and crushed the piece of wood beneath its feet.

boom!

The piece of wood seemed to contain a huge amount of flame, which gushed out as the wood was crushed.

The towering pillar of fire engulfed the Hilichurl thugs in an instant. At first, a long, mournful "whoosh" could be heard from within the pillar of fire.

These Hilichurls are frequently in contact with fire slimes, which makes their skin much more tolerant of fire elements than other Hilichurls.

Mu Xian let the fire pillar hold for a few more seconds until the Hilichurl thug walked out of the fire pillar and then fell down.

"Oh, I didn't expect my fireworks to be useless against this Hilichurl."

Xiaogong stood up at some point, looking at the fallen Qiuqiu thugs billowing black smoke not far away, his head hanging low, his tone somewhat dejected.

However, the palace quickly rallied again.

"But you're still pretty amazing."

Xiaogong raised both hands in a cheering gesture, her bright eyes looking at Muxian, and said with a smile, "If we could use them to make fireworks, we might be able to create a very big and beautiful firework."

"When the Rongcai Festival ends, we'll use these fireworks to wrap things up. It'll be absolutely spectacular."

Those eyes made Mu Xian look away, and then he nodded.

It will definitely be spectacular, after all, the fireworks created by the Evil Eye are deadly.

Without lingering for long, Mu Xian turned his gaze to the distant Qiuqiu thugs.

I walked over to the Hilichurl thug, only to find it lying on the ground, panting heavily, with each exhale accompanied by a "whoosh".

"They're still alive?!" Xiaogong walked over, clearly surprised to see the still-alive Hilichurl thug.
