I write novels in Liyue

Fang Qiu was stunned.

"No need, no need. I've collected quite a few ingredients this time. I'll make a sugar slime dessert for you guys to try later."

"what is that?"

"Let's make a white fungus and lotus seed soup. We don't need the sugar slime; Fang Qiu isn't in good health and is prone to stomach upset."

Hu Tao immediately stopped him, while at the same time blinking her eyes frantically at Fang Qiu.

"Speaking of Xiangling, I have been craving white fungus and lotus seed soup lately. Could you please cook it for me?"

Fang Qiu smiled faintly and said.

"Eh? Then I'll try to combine slime with white fungus and lotus seed soup."

Xiangling thought for a moment and then said.

"No slimes!"

As the three of them chatted and walked toward Liyue Harbor, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats and turning wheels behind them.

Ok?

Although they were walking on both sides of the official road, just like in their previous life when they were walking on a narrow road and heard the sound of trucks rapidly approaching from behind, they couldn't help but look back to make sure they were safe.

Fang Qiu turned around instinctively.

Then, they saw a caravan rushing towards them.

No, it's not so much that it rushed towards them quickly, but rather that it rushed towards their direction.

The horse pulled the carriage at breakneck speed.

what's the situation?

Shrimp catchers?

Speed ​​and passion?

Are all the people in Liyue this reckless?

Racing with horse-drawn carts loaded with goods?

Ok?

The coachman in the lead carriage seemed to be shouting something at them.

However, the sound of wheels rolling and carriages neighing completely drowned out his voice.

Fang Qiu quickly shielded Hu Tao and Xiang Ling with her hands and led them to the side of the road.

As the caravan drew closer, Fang Qiu noticed that behind it followed more than a dozen strange-looking monsters, each wielding various weapons and with hunched backs.

Among them were two extremely tall Hilichurls, each three or four meters tall, wielding enormous shields.

They followed closely behind the caravan.

Meanwhile, several Thousand Rock soldiers wielding long spears were standing on the last carriage of the caravan, using their spears to prevent the Hilichurls from approaching.

"It's Hilichurls, they're attacking the convoy."

Hu Tao's expression darkened. Holding a protective charm, she shielded Fang Qiu behind her and said, "Be careful."

"Prepare for battle, Hu Tao. Protect Fang Qiu later."

Xiangling held the box in her hand horizontally and said, "I'll destroy Chen."

Fang Qiu's palms were sweating as he watched the rapidly approaching convoy and the Hilichurls.

This sense of oppression is just too strong.

These Hilichurls, though somewhat similar to the goblins of her previous life, were completely different from the goblins in the games she played in her previous life.

In her past life, in the game, she only needed to move the mouse to wipe out a group of low-level goblins.

But the Hilichurls in front of us are clearly not at that level.

Especially those two Hilichurls wielding giant shields.

Her arms alone are much thicker than her waist; if she were to take a punch from them, she would probably die on the spot.

Just then, the incredibly large Hilichurl, wielding a shield, let out a roar.

Then Fang Qiu saw the Hilichurl suddenly accelerate, and when the carriage was only ten meters away from them, it crashed into the last carriage.

Screams, cries of alarm, the neighing of horses, and the sound of the carriage breaking apart mingled together.

The carriage was reduced to pieces of wood by the impact of the giant Hilichurl.

Fortunately, several soldiers from the Thousand Rocks Army jumped off the vehicle quickly and were not hit.

However, the horse was not so lucky. Under the impact of the giant shield, the horse was smashed to pieces.

At that moment, the leader's horse was also startled by the painful neighing of its companions behind it, and it stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.

The carriage immediately overturned.

In an instant, carriages crashed into each other, screams filled the entire official road, blood splattered everywhere, and some coachmen were even thrown four or five meters away due to inertia.

However, the Thousand Rock soldiers were well-trained and quickly got up from the ground, raised their spears, and forced back the small Hilichurls that rushed forward.

Many uninjured civilians also took out the knives they had prepared to defend themselves.

"Rely on the wagons for defense, and do not pursue them. As long as we hold out until the Thousand Rock Army arrives, we will be safe."

One of them, Qianyan Jun, who seemed to be an instructor, turned pale and clenched his teeth as he gave the order.

However, his pale face was not due to fear, but because he was injured. After the giant Hilichurl smashed the carriage, wood chips flew everywhere, and a sharp piece of wood was flying towards a recruit who had fallen to the ground and was still recovering.

To protect his men, he used his body to block the wooden plank.

His right arm was pierced through, and a splinter was still stuck in it.

Fresh blood was flowing continuously from the wound, staining his arm crimson.

However, before anyone else could answer, the Hilichurls launched their attack.

The instructor, Qianyanjun, stood at the forefront. Holding his gun in his left hand, he swept it horizontally, striking one of the Hilichurls hard on the neck and sending it flying three or four meters.

The Hilichurl rolled a few times on the ground and then stopped moving.

Immediately, he spun his spear and struck another Hilichurl in the waist.

It was smashed away.

Although it didn't kill the Hilichurl in one hit like it did with the previous one, it still seriously injured it.

However, before everyone could even rejoice, the severely injured Hilichurl grabbed his spear.

Before he could forcefully pull back his spear...

A giant Hilichurl rushed in front of him, its massive shield slamming down on him.

Finished!

There was no time to dodge.

Just when he was in despair, a bright blue icy light appeared on him.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Jade Balance Star

A deep blue ice shield suddenly appeared in front of him.

"boom!"

A violent impact rang out, and ice shards flew everywhere. At the same time, a strangely shaped spear pierced through from the side and plunged into the giant Hilichurl's body.

"rise!"

A delicate shout.

The strangely shaped spear suddenly burst into intense flames.

Flames swept out, and the raging flames instantly engulfed the giant Hilichurl.

Seeing that the Thousand Rock Army was saved, Fang Qiu, who had just formed an ice shield in the void to block the giant Hilichurl's attack for a moment, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the giant Hilichurl did not die as a result.

With Hu Tao, Xiang Ling, and Fang Qiu joining the battle, the situation was completely stabilized.

Although Hu Tao and Xiang Ling were outstanding fighters, they dared not pursue rashly in order to protect the civilians behind them.

Therefore, the battle situation remained in a delicate balance.

As a ranged mage, Fang Qiu had completely figured out his position and was hiding behind the Thousand Rock Army's cover to launch sneak attacks.

Fang Qiu swung an ice sword at a small Hilichurl wielding a huge wooden club. Just as the Hilichurl was about to strike the ice sword with its club, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly struck the Hilichurl.

Fang Qiu's pupils contracted slightly. Immediately afterward, a girl dressed in purple appeared in the blink of an eye. Her longsword, crackling with lightning, joined forces with Fang Qiu's ice sword to slam into the Hilichurl.

The Hilichurl didn't even have time to let out a scream before it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The moment the girl in purple appeared, the morale of the Thousand Rock Army was immediately boosted.

"It's Lord Yuheng! We're safe."

"Lady Yuheng is indeed a heroine, a woman who is just as capable as any man."

"What a handsome fighting stance."

Is the Jade Balance Star (玉衡星)?

Fang Qiu's pupils contracted slightly.

Is the person in front of me with cute cat-like purple hair and pigtails actually the legendary Liyue Seven Stars?

However, the girl in purple seemed not to hear the praise from the crowd. She simply turned around and exchanged a glance with Fang Qiu before transforming into lightning again and joining the battle.

With the addition of the girl in purple, the battle quickly turned into a one-sided affair.

Soon, the last giant Hilichurl fell to the ground with a thud under the combined attack of the three of them.

At this moment, the Qianyan Army arrived to provide support, and the girl in purple orderly handled the aftermath.

Only after the cleanup work was completely on track did the girl in purple walk up to them.
