Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

After crossing the cliff, the road ahead was no different from the places we had passed before.

The brick walls and stone-paved roads stretched on and on, and if it weren't for the occasional ancient lamps, the two would have thought they had returned to where they started.

"Brother Bai, do you think there might be treasure ahead?"

After walking for a while, Bennett couldn't stand the quiet environment any longer and took the initiative to speak to the people around him.

Since there were no torches left, Bai Qiyun could only use some scattered, light-emitting objects for illumination.

He put all those things into a glass jar and made a simple lighting jar.

"Compared to treasure or anything, Bennett, don't you think this road is a little too quiet?"

"Quiet? You mean—"

The two stopped at the same time.

A huge rotating jet appeared on the road ahead, its long tube spewing out tongues of flame.

The ever-spinning flames seemed intent on burning away everyone who tried to pass through them.

Bennett and Bai Qiyun stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Could this... also be considered a treasure?"

"Well, if we can make do, it's not impossible."

But no matter how you look at it, this thing is clearly a trap!

Bai Qiyun felt a bit of pain in his teeth. They were fine before, but after he said a few words, a mechanism suddenly appeared.

Otherwise, he should just shut up.

"However, fire element mechanisms... we don't have a holder of the water element eye either."

Bennett realized the crux of the problem.

Although the trap in front of me shouldn't be the kind that kills instantly when triggered, getting burned by that thing would probably still take a layer of skin off.

"Don't look at me, I don't have any suitable creations either."

Faced with his companions' gazes, Bai Qiyun could only shake his head, though reluctant.

He only had a few bottles of water on him, which were obviously not enough to extinguish the rotating mechanism.

"By the way, where does this place get a constant supply of fire element to spew out?"

Even the previous wind field and ruins guards were trigger-type mechanisms, so naturally, this one should also be a trigger-type mechanism.

Bai Qiyun searched back and forth, but unfortunately, he did not see any substances containing fire elements to provide for the mechanisms on the ground.

Could it be underground?

Bai Qiyun's eyes flickered.

He squatted down, took out the materials from his backpack, and planned to use the same trick again.

But as he was doing it, he remembered something else.

"Bennett."

"what?"

Bennett, who was leaning against the wall observing back and forth, turned his head.

"You've seen this before, haven't you?"

"Yes, this mechanism should be extinguished using water or ice elements."

Just two days ago, he accidentally wandered into a ruin, where this mechanism was located.

He managed to solve the problem by luring a jumping ice slime around him.

However, right now, there isn't a single piece of ice in sight, let alone slimes.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiyun put down what he was holding and began to think.

That would be very strange.

"Strange? What's strange about it? Isn't it normal to use ice water to put out a fire?"

On the continent of Teyvat, the relationship between the three elements of water, ice, and fire is well known.

Even a three-year-old knows to use water to extinguish fire and to use fire to melt ice.

"Yes, that's correct according to common sense."

After collecting the materials from the ground, Bai Qiyun stood up and continued to carefully stare at the still-rotating mechanism in front of him.

"But have you ever considered that if this thing has a continuous source of elemental supply, how could a mere instant of ice water element possibly extinguish it?"

Bennett hadn't really thought of that.

He stomped his feet to try and rouse himself.

Even after he regained his senses, he still couldn't figure out the key to it.

"In other words... this thing is either a switch triggered by some kind of element, or..."

Bai Qiyun didn't continue, because he knew that only practice could validate his ideas.

And coincidentally, he happened to have all the materials needed to do this experiment.

It's actually quite simple. If you want to confirm whether the mechanism was extinguished because its elemental power was exhausted, just react it with a larger amount of other elements.

In the absence of suitable water and ice elemental artifacts, the A204 in his possession is the most suitable option.

The fully purified electric crystal powder contains lightning elemental power that is difficult for ordinary people to control. This jar is no less powerful than a full-force attack from the holder of the Lightning Elemental Eye.

It's just a bit expensive.

After all, electric crystals are quite expensive.

Bai Qiyun held the two A204 cans in his hands and, while the mechanism was still spinning, threw them directly to the position below the mechanism.

In an instant, the fierce lightning element was ignited by the flames spewed from the mechanism. The already narrow corridor was now filled with the dust of the explosion, and the towering flames almost blinded the two of them.

Even so, Bai Qiyun stared intently at the mechanism, trying to figure out how the fire elemental power was replenished after it was consumed.

However, the dust was so thick that he could only make out a rough outline.

After being consumed by the lightning element, the mechanism did not lose its ability to spew flames; however, the slight shock from the explosion slowed down its operation.

Many of the stone bricks on the ground are broken.

This is also one of the things Bai Qiyun wants to do.

He had already scanned the entire corridor but couldn't find any trace of fire element anywhere. So, judging from the location of this mechanism, it could only be underground.

Sure enough, he had endured watching the entire reaction process. The moment the fire element on the mechanism went out, new fire element surged up from the ground to replenish it.

The way this element operates is somewhat similar to the wind element core of the previous relic guardian.

Based on this, it can be concluded that there must be a core underground that can provide fire elements.

Moreover, it is very likely that it is the same type of thing as the Wind Butterfly in the previous Relic Guardian.

Having figured this out, Bai Qiyun began to eagerly try it out.

"Brother Bai, are you alright?"

Bennett didn't think that much about it; all he knew was that the explosion had been quite intense.

"Me? I'm fine, I'm fine."

Of course, he's fine, but this organization might be in trouble next.

After all, those four cans of A204 on the ground were no joke.

After finalizing the plan, Bai Qiyun asked Bennett to create some distance between them.

This time, there was no need to throw them away; several cans of A204 simply rolled across the ground.

I must say, this floor is quite slippery; didn't you see how smoothly those cans rolled?

The moment the four canisters touched the mechanism, an even more violent explosion erupted in the confined space.

This impact was far more intense than the explosion that the previous Relic Guardian had experienced.

However, Bai Qiyun didn't just stand there idly, waiting for the elemental source below to restore its fire elemental power.

The moment Bai Qiyun confirmed that the machine had exhausted its fire element but was still replenishing it, he made his move.

An ordinary bottle of spring water was simply spilled on it.

Then there is no more then.

The passage that was replenishing fire element was suddenly shut down, and the mechanism in front of them also stopped working.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun was not surprised at all. In his mind, this mechanism was designed in a similar way.

"Brother Bai... Brother Bai, this thing has stopped."

Bennett, who didn't understand what had happened, gloated, since he didn't need to understand anything anyway.

It's actually quite easy to understand, because this kind of mechanism is constantly supplied with elemental matter to generate fire elemental power. If you only use elements like lightning or wind to consume them, the elemental matter below will simply replenish the consumed elemental power.

However, this thing was designed with a mechanism inside that senses the ice and water elements.

Therefore, when someone possesses the Eye of the Ice and Water Elements, after directly consuming the outer layer of fire element, their ice and water element will directly touch the sensor mechanism inside, thus extinguishing the large furnace.

Bai Qiyun didn't have that much ice and water elemental substance on him, so he broke the process into two steps: first, he used other elements to consume the outer layer of fire element, and then he used ordinary water to trigger the sensor mechanism inside.

It's that simple.

"Phew~ After working so hard all day, let me see what triggered you."
