Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

As Bai Qiyun called out, Olaf's face gradually showed signs of struggle, his brows almost furrowing into a line.

After a short while, the man's breathing became steady, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Ha ha..."

As the light returned to his eyes, Olaf abruptly stood up, breathing heavily as if trying to suck out all the air in front of him, oblivious even to the pebbles pricking his palms.

It took him quite a while to recover from his shock and return to being a normal person.

"Thank you all so much for saving my life!"

After looking around, Olaf nodded repeatedly to Bai Qiyun and his group in thanks.

Although he didn't know what had happened, there was no doubt that the people in front of him were the ones who had saved him from that nightmare.

Even though the group of people all looked very young, the Eye of God hanging from the waist of the young girl was undeniable; these people must have helped him.

"You're from Qingquan Town, right? How did you end up fainting here?"

The middle-aged man's animal ears were exactly the same as Mr. Dulaf's, and coupled with his hunter-like attire, Bai Qiyun immediately recognized him.

"Qingquan Town? Oh, right, I'm from Qingquan Town!"

Perhaps his brain was a little fuzzy from the cold, Olaf was initially stunned for a moment, but quickly, like a child reminded by a teacher, he answered hastily.

"I remember I encountered a huge Frost Tree before. I originally wanted to retreat first, but I didn't expect that thing to spot me from a distance. After I was hit by its vine whip, I woke up to find you all here."

He touched his head. He remembered that he had been hit on the back of the head and that's when he lost consciousness, but it didn't seem to hurt much now.

"The Artificial Freeze Tree!!!"

Xiangling suddenly screamed.

She was just worried about where to find ingredients for her cooking duel, and this was like a godsend.

"Hey, keep your voice down."

Seeing Olaf startled by Xiangling, Bai Qiyun glanced speechlessly at his childhood playmate.

When will this girl finally get rid of this easily startled nature?

However, Xiangling seemed not to have heard Bai Qiyun's words at all, and rushed straight into the mountain while muttering to herself.

"Artificial Ice Tree~ Artificial Ice Tree~ Delicious Artificial Ice Tree!"

Bai Qiyun shook his head and sighed as he watched.

"Um...you guys quickly go and stop that girl, I'm fine, it's dangerous inside!"

When Olaf, who was sitting on the ground, saw a little girl rush in by herself, he hurriedly stood up. He patted the thick dust off his body and looked at Xiangling's departing figure with some worry.

"Don't worry, uncle, she'll be fine."

Even if Xiangling acts alone, Bai Qiyun will not worry about her. The Eye of God hanging on her waist is not fake. Moreover, two of its life stars are already lit up, so her combat power is definitely guaranteed.

However, leaving her alone seemed a bit heartless. Watching Guoba run step by step towards Xiangling's back, Bai Qiyun rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"Well then, uncle, you rest here for a while, we'll be right back."

Anyway, the purpose of coming out is to find ingredients for Xiangling. If there are really good things, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go with her.

"Okay, you guys go ahead. I'll be fine here by myself. Just keep a close eye on that girl; it's very dangerous inside."

Olaf waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was alright. Perhaps because his previous experience was too dangerous, the middle-aged man emphasized the need to be careful several times, his concern evident in his words.

Bai Qiyun smiled and said nothing more. He waved his hand and led Paimeng and Ying to catch up with Xiangling ahead.

--------

The deeper they went into the valley, the colder it became. It seemed his earlier feeling was correct; something was indeed affecting the surrounding environment, which must have been the "frozen tree" that the man had mentioned.

However, he had never actually seen what a freeze tree looked like; judging from the name, it must be a plant.

"Hey! Ha! Guoba, breathe fire!"

Just as Bai Qiyun was pondering the factors of the changing environment, Xiangling's energetic shouts came from ahead.

Accompanied by surging fire elemental power, a heat wave spread out in front of everyone.

"Yaya!"

The Hilichurls with bows and arrows stood on the stone platform and fired fiercely at the crowd. Unfortunately, their bows and arrows were of poor quality. The arrows became shaky and fell to the ground before they even reached halfway through the air. They were all disturbed by the fire elemental power surging from Xiangling's body.

The girl, spear in hand, charged toward several Hilichurls who had not yet climbed the platform.

The spear tip sliced ​​through the air, piercing the heart of one of the smaller Hilichurls.

"ha!"

After landing a successful blow, Xiangling followed up by sweeping her gun horizontally, sending several Hilichurls who were trying to surround her flying.

Paimon was speechless at the horrific scene.

She stiffly turned her head to look at Bai Qiyun, who seemed completely unfazed, and smacked her lips.

"Are all your cooks this good at fighting?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiyun glanced at her.

"What do you mean 'you guys'? She's the one who can really fight."

Seeing the valiant Xiangling overwhelming several Hilichurls in a completely one-sided battle, he had no intention of going forward to help.

Just kidding, his stuff is very expensive to make, there's no need to waste it at a time like this.

"Wind Blade!"

With a shout from the blonde girl beside her, an elemental fluctuation no less powerful than Xiangling's formed in her hand. Then, a wind blade composed of pure wind elemental force shot out and struck a Hilichurl that was sneaking up on Xiangling with an arrow.

"Gurgle..."

The Hilichurl that fell from the tower landed right at Xiangling's feet, causing her to raise an eyebrow.

Thanks!

However, this did not affect the Fire Chef's actions. Before the half-dead Hilichurls could act, she swung her gun horizontally and swept them out again.

"Bang! Bang!"

The Hilichurl was slammed against the wall and completely lost consciousness.

However, Xiangling did not let her guard down. With a jerk of her right hand holding the spear, a ring of flames appeared around the brownish-yellow shaft of the spear.

Focus your mind and concentrate.

The next second, the girl leaped high into the air with her spear in hand, and a fiery whirlwind formed in mid-air, rushing towards the Hilichurls with unparalleled power.

"boom!"

When flames strike the ground, they don't burn, they explode.

A deafening roar echoed across the empty square, and not even the corpses of the Qiuqiu people remained.

No longer paying attention to the changes, the girl casually tossed the gun behind her back, not letting them go just because they had lost their fighting ability.

It should be understood that evil must be eradicated completely.
