I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

Wu Qiu's eyes lit up, and he went up and kicked the brick. With Wu Qiu's current strength, one kick was enough to destroy a wall.

With that kick, the entire table shattered. The shop owner was dumbfounded, thinking, "My goodness, why is this person so violent? He's ready to smash up the shop at the drop of a hat!"

But soon he saw Wu Qiu squatting on the ground, smiling as he picked up a piece of food and then tossed it in his hand.

"Hmm! The size and weight are just right, a very good brick."

Turning to the shopkeeper, Wu Qiu asked, "Boss, how much is this weapon?"

The boss was completely dumbfounded, thinking, "You call this a weapon? How dare you ask? It's just a brick! How can it be considered a weapon?"

"Besides, why would you come to the blacksmith's shop if you need a brick? You could just cut one off from the corner."

However, seeing Wu Qiu's dazed expression, the boss waved his hand and said, "Never mind, you can go now, it's free."

He's really impressed today; from now on, he'll definitely put up a sign outside saying, "This shop doesn't sell bricks."

Outside, Yura was waiting with her arms crossed for Wu Qiu to finish choosing his weapon and pay for it. But when she saw Wu Qiu bring out this brick, she was stunned.

"Where's your weapon?" Yura asked. Wu Qiu tossed the brick in his hand. "Isn't this it?"

......................................................

The room fell silent. After a long while, Yura finally spoke: "You, you're going to wield a brick?"

"Yeah, right. Hey, don't underestimate a brick! It can be used for both offense and defense, it's angular, and it's super easy to deal critical damage, it's really powerful... Hey hey hey! Don't go!"

Yura turned and left in anger, with Wu Qiu hurriedly chasing after her. He didn't choose the brick randomly; he had his own reasons.

He can forget about using the Ice Forging Technique; Yura has seen it before with the Wind Demon Dragon. He's disguised and hasn't been recognized yet, but once his abilities are exposed, he'll definitely be found out.

So he chose a brick. During battle, as long as the cold current is wrapped around the outside of the brick, this ordinary brick can also have the effect of a giant ice brick.

Guerrilla knights are free, but also dangerous. And the place they're heading to this time is quite far from Mondstadt, called the Windrise Mountains, or you could say the Windrise Plains.

Why do I say that? Of course, it's because Klee blew that place up. Just think about it, the Windrise Mountains look just like a plain at a glance.

It's said that a large group of Hilichurls have taken over the area and even occupied the watchtowers. Yura's mission this time is to clear out these Hilichurls.

Yura's level is 43, which should make dealing with Hilichurls a breeze. So Wu Qiu was also quite relaxed, thinking he could just follow behind and coast along.

Thinking this, Wu Qiu followed Yura in a cheerful mood. The first thing Wu Qiu saw upon leaving Mondstadt was the large tree in the Windrise.

That tree was truly enormous; Wu Qiu could see it from this distance. Keep in mind that this place is quite a distance from where the wind rises, which shows just how astonishing the tree was.

If he could, Wu Qiu would really like to go there and take a look. But unfortunately, their target this time wasn't there.

Turn around and head towards Whispering Woods. Windrise is quite far from Mondstadt; you need to cross Whispering Woods and Starfall Lake to reach it.

If it were up to Wu Qiu on his own, he definitely wouldn't dare to go this far. But now that we have powerful backers, we can walk sideways with impunity.

The Whispering Forest wasn't large, but it wasn't small either, and the two walked through it. Here, their professionalism became apparent.

Wu Qiu walked forward with his neck stiff, acting as if he were the best in the world and feared no one.

Yura, on the other hand, is completely different. Even though she is already very powerful, she still keeps her eyes on her surroundings to prevent any accidents from happening.

Fortunately, they crossed the Whispering Forest without incident. Wu Qiu chuckled and said, "I told you not to be so serious. This is Mondstadt territory, how could there be any danger..."

"boom!"

Before Wu Qiu could finish speaking, a loud bang rang out, and Wu Qiu was engulfed in flames.

"Holy crap! What's going on!?"

Wu Qiu was stunned. Looking at the flames around him and Yura who stood in front of him at the critical moment, Wu Qiu finally realized that he had been ambushed.

Chapter 115: Encountering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Assassin Again

"who!"

Wu Qiu roared and looked ahead, then saw a Fire Axe Hilichurl thug holding an axe in one hand and a Fire Slime in the other, glaring fiercely at the two of them.

Not only that, but there were also more than a dozen charging Hilichurls beside him. However, these Hilichurls were not carrying weapons, but were instead carrying fire slimes, and all of them were looking at Wu Qiu and his companion.

"Fuck."

Wu Qiu stepped back. Yura blocked Wu Qiu's path, swirling her greatsword around to point at the enemy before her, and turned to Wu Qiu, saying, "Be careful."

Wu Qiu nodded, but at the same time looked at the handsome yet elegant greatsword in Yura's hand.

Name: When the Sound of Pine Trees Resounds

Tier: Three-star two-handed sword

information:?

Hidden Attribute: Upgradeable Weapon

"Wait a minute! A three-star weapon!!!" If Wu Qiu remembered correctly, the sound of this pine-sounding weapon was Yura's signature weapon, right? Wasn't that a five-star weapon? How did it become a three-star weapon?

But after seeing that it could grow, Wu Qiu understood. Perhaps, many of the five-star weapons in his mind were actually four-star or even three-star weapons, they just had the ability to grow.

When the pine-sounding instrument in front of him began to play, if Wu Qiu wasn't mistaken, this was exactly the situation.

Wu Qiu was surprised by his own guess, while Yura had already rushed forward. Seeing Yura rush forward, the Hilichurl thug on the other side roared, and all the Hilichurls along with him threw out their Fire Slimes.

These slimes are quite powerful; so many of them coming at once is practically carpet bombing.

But as Yura spun her greatsword around and swung it, a wave of ice spread out, turning all the fire slimes in front of her into ice slimes, which then crashed to the ground with a clatter.

But three of them still managed to break through Yura's icy aura and rushed towards Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu turned and ran, but how could he possibly outrun the slimes thrown by the Hilichurls?

Just as he was about to be hit, Wu Qiu was already prepared to use his Frozen Ice to forge all things. But at that critical moment, three cold lights flashed, like white shooting stars, circling around Wu Qiu.

With three swift, swishing sounds, the fire slime was instantly cleaved in two, frozen solid without even exploding.

Only then did Wu Qiu realize that they were three ice swords. The ice swords were entirely white, radiating a chilling light that made Wu Qiu shiver involuntarily.

However, Wu Qiu felt mostly envy. Look at their ice sword, and then look at what kind of thing he had created. There's no harm in comparison.

Yura was a formidable fighter. Wu Qiu watched from afar as she wielded her sword against the Hilichurls. It was an almost one-sided rout; the Hilichurls had no chance to retaliate at all.

But that's not the main point. The most important thing is that watching her fight is like watching a performance, a dance performance.

Her graceful dance moves blended perfectly with her swordsmanship, making it a feast for the eyes. Coupled with her masterful control of ice elements, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

Wu Qiu was certain that Yura's current combat strength was no weaker than Noelle's. If she could obtain a weapon similar to the Snow Burial Star Silver, her combat strength would only surpass Noelle's.

After the battle, Yura tossed her hair and looked at Wu Qiu, saying, "You're weaker than I thought. You can't be a good guerrilla knight if you're like this."

"I……"

Yura ignored Wu Qiu's disgruntled glare. Looking at the Hilichurls on the ground, she said, "It's strange. Hilichurls shouldn't have such intelligence, but they were able to launch an organized attack just now, which is very illogical."

"Furthermore, it's strange that the Hilichurls would be here. This doesn't look like a place where you could set up camp at all; it's more like they're deliberately guarding this place."

As Yura was analyzing the situation seriously, Wu Qiu leaned in and said, "Hey, do you think it's possible that they just wandered over here and bumped into us?"

Yura glanced at Wu Qiu with a look that said she was looking at an idiot, then walked away without looking back.

"I got looked down on again," Wu Qiu said helplessly. He was just joking, but it was clear that Yura wasn't the kind of person he joked with.

Wu Qiu appeared relaxed on the outside, but inwardly he sensed that this mission was unusual. And are Hilichurls really that unintelligent? Not necessarily.

Wu Qiu clearly remembered that day a few months ago. Those assassins from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect were all quite intelligent. And that Red Diamond assassin, aside from his appearance, was no less than a human.

If this incident is indeed related to the assassins of the Demon Kings, then we've encountered ordinary Hilichurls now, but what if we encounter Demon King assassins later on?

Starfall Lake was just ahead. This time, Wu Qiu stopped pretending and cautiously moved forward. He knew all too well that the Wan Gui assassins were shameless and would never play fair.

bump!!!!

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and Wu Qiu saw that Starfall Lake beside him had exploded. The lake water was blasted into the air by a force, and three chains flew in from three directions.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Yura swept her sword horizontally with both hands, shattering the frozen chains with a single sword strike. At the same time, the two looked up and saw six figures soaring into the sky, surrounding them.

"Hylocereus?"

Yura was a little surprised, which confirmed Wu Qiu's suspicions. Seeing that Yura was about to make another move, Wu Qiu quickly pulled her back.

However, these six Hilichurls were incredibly fast. Wielding two short swords in each hand, they charged towards the two like ghosts.

As Yura retreated, she hastily raised her sword to parry while simultaneously swinging it out. A series of clanging sounds rang out as all the attacks were neutralized by Yura.

But before Yura could even catch her breath, a flash of cold light appeared, and a short knife stabbed from the lower left. The speed was so fast and accurate that it gave Yura no chance to react.

Just as the knife was about to pierce Yura's waist, at that critical moment, a square brick was thrown over and smashed directly onto the Hilichurl's wrist.

The hasty attack didn't force the Hilichurl to retreat, but it did deviate from his attack. With a swift twist of her waist, Yura managed to narrowly dodge the blow, though her clothes were torn at the waist.

He raised his foot and slammed his knee into the Hilichurl's chin. At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked out, sending the Hilichurl flying.

She landed, looked up, and Yura's pupils contracted again, as if the battle was over. A short knife was already in front of her, about to pierce her left eye and penetrate her brain.

A spray of blood appeared, and the dagger stopped right in front of Yura. It was just a hair's breadth away; if it had gone any closer, Yura's eyes would have been ruined.

The knife stopped because Wu Qiu's right palm had been pierced. Blood mixed with sweat flowed down, and Wu Qiu grimaced in pain.

"It hurts! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!"

He screamed terribly, but Wu Qiu strained his arm frantically, preventing the knife from advancing any further.

Once she realized what was happening, Yura kicked the Hilichurl in front of her away, then turned around, grabbed Wu Qiu's hand, and quickly and decisively drew her short sword.

"what!"

Wu Qiu screamed in agony, looking at Youla with an attitude of "repaying kindness with enmity!"

But Yura simply placed her palm over Wu Qiu's wound. Soon, the pain in Wu Qiu's hand subsided, and when Yura removed her hand, she found that the wound had frozen.

To be precise, it wasn't frozen, because Wu Qiu didn't feel any pain at all. The flow of the cold air was strange; it stopped the bleeding without harming Wu Qiu.

After doing all this, Yura turned to look at the Hilichurls. The Hilichurls were clearly also surprised that their deadly coordinated attack had failed.

"What just happened? Even the best-coordinated humans couldn't do that kind of teamwork."

Yura had to admit that if Wu Qiu hadn't pulled her back, she would be dead. Even if she had avoided the encirclement, she was still in such a sorry state.

In that situation, without Wu Qiu's crucial rescue, the best outcome for me would have been serious injury and loss of an eye due to the unexpected attack.

A one-sided attack is already so dangerous; what if you're surrounded? There's only one outcome: certain death.

Wu Qiu hadn't expected these Ten Thousand Ghosts Assassins to cooperate so well and act so decisively.

In truth, Yura wouldn't have ended up like this if she had faced an enemy at full strength. But that's the problem: who would willingly use their full power against an enemy they once easily slaughtered?
