Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

The rising light, seen from a distance, looked like a green arrow of light, shooting straight towards the leisurely Hilichurl thug sitting on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the distance of over a hundred meters was covered. Ying gathered all the wind elemental power in her body into her right hand, and a huge whirlwind was generated out of thin air.

"Wind Vortex Sword!"

The girl's sharp voice rang out across the open grassland, and the swirling wind she had conjured in her hand struck the Hilichurl thug who was still sitting on the ground without any hindrance.

Perhaps driven by the principle of "capture the leader first," Ying made the seemingly most formidable big guy in the camp her primary target from the outset of the operation.

The moment the vortex made contact with the Hilichurl, it let out a painful howl. The vortex, as sharp as a steel blade, slowly sucked its entire body in. The vortex, which was only the size of a human head, was now pulling the Hilichurl, which was as tall as a building, into a slow rotation.

Seeing that her attack had worked, Ying stopped channeling elemental energy into the whirlwind in her hand.

The moment she stopped gathering elemental power, the whirlwind exploded automatically, blasting half of the massive Hilichurl's body off, leaving it with a gruesome death.

However, Luminous did not stop her campaign to exterminate the Hilichurls because of this. In her eyes, which spanned many worlds, these things were child's play.

"Are there five left?"

The moment her gentle eyes swept across the battlefield, a surge of wind elemental power, several times stronger than before, gathered around Ying.

A strong wind surged around her, and grass flew everywhere.

The Hilichurls seemed to be wary of something; seeing such a dense elemental force, they leaned against everything, not daring to approach.

"Let it go with the wind!"

A delicate shout.

A massive tornado appeared on Ying's body; it was undoubtedly a manifestation of wind elemental power.

The gale, carrying an unstoppable force, rushed straight toward the location of the Hilichurls.

Upon seeing this, the Hilichurls who had been merely observing immediately tried to flee.

But their efforts were ultimately in vain. To their horror, they discovered that their constant steps were only keeping them in place, as the approaching tornado dragged them along, preventing their escape.

Under the sweeping storm, no Hilichurl could escape such an onslaught.

The tornado passed by them as if they were nothing, without asking for their opinions in the slightest, and then lifted them up from the ground and into the air, where they followed the tornado until they disappeared.

"Wow! Ying, you're amazing!"

Only after everything calmed down did Paimon, who had been watching from a distance, dare to approach.

She was afraid she would have been caught in that gust of wind if she hadn't been far away; it was truly terrifying.

Just a few days ago, the two of them had to go into the water and slowly poke at a fish with their swords to catch it. I never expected that Ying could now launch an attack of this level.

Where the tornado passed, not a single blade of grass remained on the ground that was originally covered with green grass. Even a piece of the ground was torn up, and the dark brown ground stood out starkly against the green grass next to it.

Without a doubt, Luminous's current strength is close to that of a captain, but she still lacks some skill in elemental control.

"Well, there's nothing to be surprised about."

Not to mention moves of this level, she has used even more powerful ones countless times.

Ying composed herself and began using her elemental vision to search for traces of the pigeons.

They were finally found next to a large iron pot near the camp.

However, they have all turned into bones now.

"I never imagined that these guys would be caught and eaten by the Hilichurls in such a short time."

Although he didn't have much affection for these winged pigeons flying around aimlessly, Paimon still felt a little sad when he saw them turn into a pile of bones in other people's mouths.

I wonder if the cook knows how to cook pigeons.

"Eh."

Although the pigeons had all died, Ying, with her sharp eyes, still spotted something quite conspicuous in front of the fire.

"Is this... a letter?"

Paimon hovered around, chin in hand.

Out of a sense of crisis, Ying quickly moved the letters that had not yet been burned away from the fire.

Even though she did this, several letters were still reduced to ashes by the fire.

One of the letters had its envelope burned; if she hadn't been quick-witted, the other letters would have suffered the same fate.

"Sister Grace?"

While sorting through the letters, Ying inevitably came across the contents of letters that were not wrapped in envelopes.

The letter begins by mentioning Sister Grace of the West Wind Church, which seems to be what Mr. Duraf originally intended to send. The content asks Sister Grace to take good care of Timmy, and includes some words that they can understand but cannot decipher when put together, such as "that matter" or "facts," but these things are not mentioned in the letter.

"Timmy? Isn't that the little boy who always stands on the bridge over the moat? I remember there were often pigeons around him."

As a good guide, recording the routes taken is Paimon's job.

Moreover, the little boy who was always alone did leave a deep impression on her.

Holding a stack of letters, Ying didn't know what to do next.

"Let's go back to Mr. Dulaf first; he should know what to do."

They were originally tasked with finding pigeons, but now the two of them can only go back with a pile of letters, and they don't know if they have completed their mission.

After all, you can't exactly take the bones left over from the Hilichurls' meals back with you.

--------

"this...."

After herding all the pigeons back into the house, Dulaf stared blankly at the letter in his hand, which was blackened by smoke.

"Um... I'm sorry, they were already... when we got there."

Although it wasn't their business, Ying still felt a little embarrassed for not fulfilling the request.

"Hilichurls, those damned guys, ugh."

As he flipped through the letters in his hand, Dulaf checked their contents while regretting why he hadn't thoroughly searched the surrounding Hilichurl tribes. He hadn't expected the Hilichurls to have come all the way to the vicinity of the town.

This is not just a matter of pigeons. If one day the other side comes to invade the town while the hunters are all out, things will get really serious. It's really thanks to this traveler who reminded them that he will definitely bring people to thoroughly clean up the area around Qingquan Town in a few days.

However, I didn't expect the Hilichurls to become so rampant. Could it be related to the dragon scourge in Mondstadt?

Dulav had more and more ideas, but the most important thing right now was to thank the Honor Knights first.
