Lostan's eyes lit up even more as he looked at Wu Qiu, "Um, um, did you guys get it?"

Wu Qiu smiled knowingly. "Is the core of chilling heart correct?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Lostan excitedly spoke up, and Wu Qiu also excitedly shook his head, "No..."

Lostan's expression froze, then he jumped up and yelled, "What are you getting so worked up about!"

Wu Qiu took out the Heart-Chilling Stone. "Although I don't have that one, this is almost the same, right? Can it be used to forge a divine artifact?"

Wu Qiu's words were full of expectation. But Lostan shook his head, "Although this is also possible, it's not."

"You saw that logbook? That's right, it's possible as long as you collect all three, but Cold Bone and Frost Canopy are only auxiliary. The real core is the Heart of Coldness."

"Why?" Wu Qiu didn't understand. Lostan looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought, perhaps just pretending to be deep in thought.

"To obtain a divine artifact, one must possess something of divine caliber, and the Heart-chilling Core is very likely something left behind by a demon god."

Wu Qiu understood, but then he quickly thought of something and pulled out the pirated Hurricane Spirit Eye from his pocket. "Will this work?"

Lostan took the Hurricane Spirit Eye and looked at it, finally shaking his head. "What a pity, what a pity. It could have been, but not much power was left, so it probably won't be enough."

"However!" he said, looking at Wu Qiu. "With these, I might be able to forge a very good Divine-level weapon for you even without the original prototype."

"If we have a prototype and a magic weapon, maybe we can really give it a try."

Chapter 102: No Time Left

Mondstadt, several days have passed, and today Ying plans to visit Wu Qiu.

Walking down the street, Amber looked at Ying and said, "I finally couldn't hold back anymore. I knew it. If you were so worried about him, you should have gone to see him sooner."

Ying didn't speak, only smiled slightly. Pai Mengfei, standing beside her, was very happy; finally, the last trace of dissatisfaction Ying felt towards Wu Qiu had disappeared.

Mondstadt is very large. After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at a hotel not far from where Wu Qiu was staying.

But just as they were about to go inside, the earth suddenly trembled. Then the entire sky suddenly darkened.

"W-what's wrong?"

Paimon looked around and then at the sky. At this moment, he could clearly feel the change in the wind; the once gentle wind had become fierce, and the entire sky over Mondstadt was covered by dark clouds.

"That is!"

Amber looked in one direction, and then her pupils contracted. Above the sky, amidst the dark clouds, layers of vortexes appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a gray tornado swept down, collapsing houses and ripping the ground in its wake.

The surrounding winds grew stronger and stronger, and in an instant, the entire Mondstadt was enveloped in a storm. And in the eye of the storm in the sky, a gigantic figure slowly appeared.

"Roar!!!!!"

A furious yet authoritative voice resounded throughout Mondstadt. The Stormterror, its eyes bloodshot, unleashed a whirlwind the moment it appeared.

It was a whirlwind composed of countless wind blades. Wherever the whirlwind went, everything turned to dust. With just this one strike, nearly a tenth of Mondstadt was destroyed.

"There, Xiao Qiuzi!!"

Ying realized something and ran towards the hotel where Wu Qiu was. But when she got closer, all she saw were ruins and scattered wood chips.

Ying's eyes began to tremble, and her body involuntarily took two steps back.

"How could this be..."

Paimon flew to the ruins and called out Wu Qiu's name, but of course no one answered her. Unaware that Wu Qiu had already left Mondstadt, they could only think of one conclusion: Wu Qiu was dead.

"The Stormterror has attacked Mondstadt."

Amber stared in disbelief at the Stormterror in the sky. She didn't feel much about Wu Qiu's death, after all, she hadn't had much of a relationship with him.

On the contrary, Wu Qiu's timid and irresponsible attitude gave Amber a bad impression of him, and she felt that Ying's concern for Wu Qiu was too much of a burden for her.

But Ying is different. Amber knows that Ying cares about Wu Qiu, and they have become good friends in the past few days, so Amber is still worried about Ying.

Then, Amber stepped forward, wanting to say something, such as that Wu Qiu might not necessarily be dead, and might just happen to be absent.

But as she approached Luminous, she noticed Luminous's body trembling and her head shaking as she looked at the ruins. Finally, her eyes turned bloodshot, and she abruptly turned to look at Stormterror.

Before Amber could react, Luminous summoned Ice Mark and turned to chase after Stormterror.

"Hey!"

"and many more!"

Amber and Paimon tried to stop her, but it was clear that Luminous was not going to listen to them. She leaped onto the rooftop as she ran, weaving across it as she charged towards Stormterror.

The Stormterror wasn't far from them, and upon appearing, it landed directly on the ground. Its body was enormous, and the raging winds it constantly unleashed utterly devastated Mondstadt.

Ying reached Stormterror's side in no time. She leaped into the air, raised Ice Mark, and slashed at Stormterror with an angry roar.

However, she couldn't even get close. A wind shield surrounded the Wind Demon Dragon, and Ying's full-force attack only caused a ripple when it struck the shield before she was bounced away.

As she transformed into a shooting star, Ying plummeted towards the ground, but fortunately, a fiery red figure flashed by and caught her midway.

It was Amber, but something was odd, because this Amber had rabbit ears. And these weren't just decorations, they were real rabbit ears, and she carried a one-handed sword on her back, not a bow and arrow.

Upon landing, Amber, carrying Luminous, slid along the ground for a short distance before landing safely. At that moment, two people ran towards them from a distance: Amber and Paimon.

"Count Bunny Number Three, to the Knights!"

Amber shouted, and Amber, who was holding Ying, or more accurately, Earl Rabbit No. 3, nodded and then took a step and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.

They were incredibly fast. But Stormterror seemed to have its sights set on Luminosity, who had just attacked him.

Wind elements continuously gathered in the sky, followed by dragon breaths formed from wind elements that hurtled towards them.

Mondstadt is now in chaos, everyone is fleeing for their lives. And although Amber and her companions are extraordinary, they are no match for the dragon's breath.

Give me Ying, Count Blade Shadow, you go and cover us.

Amber spoke. Her third Count Bunny was named Count Blade Shadow, and naturally, she also used a one-handed sword.

Upon hearing Amber's words, Count Blade threw Luminous to Amber, then leaped back and turned, drawing his one-handed sword and flicking it between his two fingers. A flash of fire engulfed the entire sword in flames.

He cleaved upwards to meet the oncoming dragon breath. The flames were scattered by the gale, but a vacuum was left in the middle, making it look as if the flames had been broken apart.

Ying was held in Amber's arms. Looking at her in his arms, Amber didn't know what to say to comfort her.

With one hand covering her eyes, Ying gritted her teeth, tears streaming through her fingers. After a while, her body, tense with grief and indignation, relaxed, and the hand covering her eyes came undone.

Raising her other hand, Ying looked at the ice marks on the completely shattered blade in the dim light, her mouth trembling with greed.

"I said I would always protect you, I'm sorry~ I broke my promise..."

On the other side, in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, Lostan offered to help Wu Qiu forge weapons, which made Wu Qiu very happy.

Lostan wouldn't let Wu Qiu see the casting process, so he could only wait. After waiting for a long time, Lostan finally finished making it.

"How is it? Is it done?"

Wu Qiu stepped forward expectantly. Lostan, holding a furnace-like object with a large mechanical arm, rolled his eyes at Wu Qiu after hearing his words.

"Do you think weapons are so easy to make? Just wait, it'll take a few days."

"A few days!" Wu Qiu exclaimed in surprise, but then he thought about it and could understand. But for some reason, Wu Qiu had a bad feeling.

"Come on, follow me to the top of the snow mountain. The natural ice elements there will allow me to better control the fire element."

With that, Lostan went into a small room next door. Wu Qiunoel and Keli followed him in.

"This... why does this room look so familiar?" Wu Qiu felt that the room looked very familiar, but couldn't remember where it was for a moment.

But as the thing started to rise, Wu Qiu suddenly realized, "An elevator!"

"Wow, they even have this? Do I still not understand this world very well?"

They took the elevator all the way up, and the snow-capped mountaintop, which was difficult to reach even in the game, was right there when they got off the elevator.

Stepping out of the elevator, the first thing that catches the eye is that enormous, seemingly flying pillar. Yes, that's what you guys put up there for your mission.

Wu Qiu guessed that it was installed there by Lostan. As for what this thing was called, Wu Qiu forgot (actually, the author forgot).

This is clearly the core base that Lostan ordered. There's a larger furnace here; put the smaller one in, light it, and a flame will rise.

"Alright, let's wait a bit."

As Lostan was about to leave after finishing his sentence, Wu Qiu quickly stopped him, "Hey, hey, is that all? Aren't you going to give it a good whack or two?"

Lostan waved his hand, "No need. The ultimate weapons are all self-defined; only in that way can the materials be fused into their optimal form."

"Then what's the use of my one-handed sword prototype?"

Wu Qiu found it strange that it had taken shape on its own. What could that one-handed sword prototype do?

"Are you fucking stupid! That thing is good at absorbing the essence of materials. Most importantly, having a prototype at least allows you to shape a sword. If you don't have one, you can use it!"

"Uh...that makes sense!" Wu Qiu nodded in understanding. But just then, Wu Qiu suddenly noticed that it was getting dark in the distance.

"Huh? That's Mondstadt's location, isn't it? Did something happen to Mondstadt?"

Lostan asked, puzzled. Wu Qiu looked in that direction, and slowly, his pupils began to contract.

"It's over, there's no time left."

Chapter 103: Weapon Mastery

"I don't care! I don't care, I have to hurry! There's no time!!!"

Wu Qiu grabbed Loststein by the neck and shook him violently. Loststein, dizzy and disoriented, cried out, "Stop, stop shaking me! You're killing me!"

Wu Qiu released him, but still looked anxious and said, "Mond is in danger, I have to go back quickly, so you have to find a way to get me the weapon as soon as possible."

Looking at Wu Qiu, and the anxious Klee and Noelle behind him, Lostan swallowed his anger.

"I can't help it. Although I'm called a master craftsman, I'm not a god. And even if I were a god, it's not like I could just create a divine weapon. If you want a good weapon, patience is a basic requirement."

After Lostan finished speaking, even without Wu Qiu saying anything, he could tell that the three of them had basically not listened.

"Hey! Alright! Stop looking at me like that. Unless there's something beyond divine creation, it's impossible."

Lostan spoke with unwavering conviction. Wu Qiu was taken aback. "Something beyond divine creation..."

Wu Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she took out a shooting star pendant. "Look at this..."

Before Wu Qiu could finish speaking, Narostan suddenly opened his eyes wide, grabbed Wu Qiu's wrist, and his eyes were wide open, eventually trembling with excitement.

"How did you get this?!"
