Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Upon hearing Liben's words, Su Hao smiled and shook his head. He looked at the other man and said, "Go and rest over there. We'll take care of things here. I haven't fought in the last few days, and my body is getting rusty."

As he said this, Su Hao slightly shifted his body to avoid a charging baby rock dragon lizard, and then swung the [Dream One Heart] in his hand once more.

In mid-air, the young rock dragon lizard was cut in half again.

"Roar--!!!"

Seeing the two young rock dragons killed, the two rock dragons watching from the sidelines seemed to understand Su Hao's predicament. They let out a roar and charged towards Su Hao.

Rock dragons are very large; these two rock dragons are nearly three meters tall and have very robust physiques. An ordinary person would probably not fare well in their hands.

However, at this moment, Shinobu Hisaki and Ella stood in front of the Rock Dragon Lizard.

"I'm sorry, this road is blocked." Hisaki Shinobu drew the katana hanging at her waist with a backhand motion. Lightning flashed on the blade. In the next instant, she rushed in front of the rock dragon lizard and kicked it out.

"Shua——!!!"

Accompanied by a sharp purple lightning bolt, a knife wound appeared on the chest of the rock dragon lizard.

It's harder than I expected.

Hisagi Shinobu spoke calmly.

This was her first time fighting a Rock Lizard. When she was studying in Liyue, she had only killed baby Rock Lizards and had never fought a Rock Lizard herself.

Although she had heard rumors about the Rock Dragon Lizard before, she had never actually seen it once when she was in Liyue.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to Liyue, I encountered a Rock Dragon Lizard, which I had never seen before, which was quite novel.

On the other side, Ella didn't immediately draw her sword. Instead, she crouched down and charged towards the rock dragon lizard.

Seeing Ella rushing towards it, the Rock Dragon Lizard seemed to be enraged, clapping its hands and slamming them onto the ground.

Several rock spikes emerged from the ground, intending to pierce Ella as she charged forward.

As if she had the ability to foresee the future, whenever the rock spikes appeared, she would dodge in another direction to avoid them.

Upon reaching the rock dragon lizard, a blue light flashed in Ella's eyes, and the next instant she drew her sword.

With a flash of cold light, one of the rock dragon lizard's claws was severed.

"Roar!"

The rock dragon lizard, its claw severed, let out a painful roar.

The next moment, the rock dragon lizard with one claw severed had bloodshot eyes, and water elemental power emerged from its body. Its originally yellowish claw turned blue.

"Carries elemental power?" A subtle emotion flashed in Ella's eyes, but she was not afraid. It was just water elemental added.

The Rock Dragon Lizard itself hasn't changed much. Do you really think that increasing elemental power will change the course of the battle?

However, this big guy is indeed very tough. If that slash had been delivered by a Wooden Shield Hilichurl, it would probably have cleaved the Wooden Shield in two.

The rock dragons on Kuki Shinobu's side were also imbued with fire elemental power, and the two rock dragons were clearly enraged.

On the other side, Xiangling was not idle either. She swung her spear and faced off against a young rock dragon lizard. She said confidently, "Let me see my master's spear skills!"

"Lulu!!" Guoba, with his short legs, ran to Xiangling's side.

"Huh? Guoba, you want to fight too?" Looking at Guoba beside her, Xiangling, who had originally intended to rush over, changed her strategy. She pointed at the baby rock dragon and shouted, "Guoba! Breath fire!!!"

"Lulu!"

Guoba nodded, opened his mouth wide, and the next second he spewed flames at the baby rock dragon in front of him.

The young rock dragon lizard was engulfed in flames, howling as it burned. The next moment, a spear came flying at it, stabbing it wildly into its body.

Liben stared wide-eyed at the scene before him. He had been to many places and had seen many powerful people.

For example, the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, the Thousand Rock Army in Liyue, the Inazuma Shogunate Army before the country was closed off, and the Winter Fools.

But he never expected that the few girls and boys he randomly encountered in the wild would have such terrifying combat abilities.

The benefactor who was the first to emerge has now slain the fourth baby rock dragon lizard, wielding his katana.

The battle ended quickly. Although the two rock dragon lizards were quite strong, they were no match for Ella and Kuki Shinobu.

Su Hao, Xiang Ling, and Guoba also took care of the few baby rock dragons.

Xiangling and Guoba worked together to take down one, while Su Hao took down seven by himself.

"boom!!!"

With a thud, the rock dragon that Hisaki Shinobu was in charge of collapsed. She grumbled, "Is the wild really that dangerous now?"

"Two rock dragons and eight baby rock dragons, if I encountered them alone, it would probably take me quite a bit of effort to deal with them."

Hisaki Shinobu is not weak. She is the holder of the Eye of God and has the inheritance of the shrine maiden of Narukami Shrine. Her martial arts skills are recognized by Kujo Sara in Inazuma.

Even she needed to expend considerable effort to deal with such a monster squad, let alone ordinary people who didn't have much ability.

“A week ago, there weren’t so many monsters here.” Xiangling also felt a little strange.

She's a regular at Nantianmen, since there's a lot of fresh ingredients there, and she comes every few days.

A week ago, she came here to collect fresh Sunset Berries and Sweet Blossoms. At that time, there were only Hilichurls, lone baby Rock Dragapults, and Spellflowers disguised as Sweet Blossoms.

She had never seen such a small team of monsters before, especially near the South Heavenly Gate.

Xiangling was somewhat relieved that she had brought Su Hao and the others with her today.

Otherwise, with her and Guoba, they could probably only send Liben away; killing the baby rock dragon and the rock dragon would be completely impossible.

After seeing that there were no baby rock dragons or rock dragons nearby, Su Hao turned his gaze to Liben beside him and said in a gentler tone, "It's safe now. Are you alright?"

Looking at the living Liben, Su Hao felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity. This was the man who had given him a large number of raw stones back then.

It was he who gave me the Primogems, which allowed me to get Thor in one go.

Um... Inazuma, not the one from Liyue.

"It's alright, it's alright, thank you so much!" Liben rubbed his buttocks and said very sincerely, "Without your help, I'm afraid I would have been eaten by these monsters."

"I'm a businessman to some extent. Since you saved my life, my benefactor, whatever you need now, just take it from me, no money required! Free of charge!!"

As he spoke, Liben took out seven slime-shaped boxes, opened them, and let Su Hao choose one.

"Ok?"

At that moment, Ella seemed to have discovered something. She reached out and picked up a small rock pillar containing a square crystal from the rock slime box.

"No way?" Hisaki Shinobu looked at what Ella was holding, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "This is the Tower of Dark Rock?"

Upon hearing Hisuki Shinobu's words, Ritsuben scratched his head and asked with some confusion, "What is the Tower of Dark Rock? I picked this up on the way."

“I thought it looked good and that it was a beautiful work of art, so I put it in the box and planned to sell it for a few thousand Mora.”

He didn't understand; he genuinely had no idea what this thing was.

This is quite normal, because Liben doesn't have the Eye of God, so he can't see elemental fluctuations.

At least in the eyes of Su Hao, Ella, Kuki Shinobu, and Xiangling, the interior of the Blackrock Tower was filled with rock elements, giving people a unique sense of security.

Furthermore, this thing is also very useful in forging weapons and armor, making it a precious material second only to the Blood Jade Branch.

Su Hao had previously wanted to forge armor for Ella, but unfortunately he didn't have the materials. Now that he had the Tower of Dark Rock, he might be able to forge armor with the power of rock element.

Furthermore, if this thing were put on the market, it would cost at least several million Mora to acquire, and if someone were to speculate on it, it could probably be even more expensive.

Because this is a priceless treasure.

Seeing that Liben didn't know, Jiuqi Ren explained it to him: this thing can't be sold off cheaply for just a few thousand Mora.

"Several million Mora?!" Liben's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't expected that the little gadget he had casually picked up could sell for several million Mora.

Ella silently returned the Tower of Dark Rock; it was too valuable to take.

The young master and I spent so much time saving up 10 million Mora, and this one Blackrock Tower can be sold for several million Mora.

Although Liben was shocked, he waved his hand and said indifferently, "This should be useful to my benefactor. Compared to millions of Mora, this thing is not of much use to me."

“A mere few million mora is not as valuable as my life. I have traveled all over the country and seen many things, but I have never seen a benefactor like you who came to my rescue the moment I was in danger.”

“I’ve encountered similar dangers before. They even suspected I was part of a treasure-hunting gang. They only came to rescue me when I was injured or about to be captured by monsters.”

Although Liben is very carefree, it's also true that he's reluctant to give up, after all, business is not doing well and he has lost money several times in a row.

I only have a little over ten million Mora left. If I sell this thing, I can recoup a significant portion of my losses.

"Are you sure?" Su Hao looked at Liben, his expression somewhat subtle, and said, "This thing isn't cheap."

"If it's not cheap, it's not cheap. Anyway, I found this thing, so please accept it, my benefactor." Liben practically forced the Xuan Yan Tower onto Su Hao.

Looking at the Xuan Yan Tower in his hand, Su Hao's expression was somewhat subtle, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

What is this? A windfall?

While Primogems are expensive in the game, they are cheap in the Primogems Tower; you can get them by farming the Rock Hypostasis.

In the real world, it's unclear what the raw stone is, but this Tower of Primal Rock is certainly not cheap.

The Geo Tower isn't something you can just farm from the Geo Hypostasis; it's made from highly concentrated pure Geo element.

The Tower of Primordial Rock can either be found in a place where rock element is abundant, or it can be artificially created by an alchemist of Abedo's caliber.

Or perhaps a demon god like Zhongli could create one with his bare hands.

That's why his price was so high, but Liben gave it to him without hesitation. He really is something else!

Su Hao sighed inwardly, and since it was Li Ben's kind gesture, he accepted it.

Seeing that Su Hao accepted the gift, Li Ben breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was great that his benefactor accepted it; otherwise, he would have had to plead until he was hoarse to give the gift away.

Chapter 100 Abandoned Mine

After accepting Liben's Xuanyan Tower, Su Hao began to inquire about how the other party ended up near the South Heavenly Gate.

Logically speaking, isn't Liben a merchant? He should be active in safe places like Liyue Harbor and Mondstadt.

Although there are villages and Thousand Rock Army patrols around Nantianmen, it is not a safe place overall.

As Hisagi Shinobu has said, there are treasure-hunting gangs operating here, and if you don't have martial arts skills, coming here is just asking for trouble.

"Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it."

Liben scratched his head, revealing a helpless expression. He looked at Su Hao and said, "Recently, hasn't Ningguang wanted to expand the Qunyu Pavilion?"
