"Here, Master, have some breakfast." Jiang Bai handed her a bowl of hot milk and a piece of toast with a slightly charred crust.

Hu Tao didn't take it, her eyes full of distrust. "You're not going to charge me for this breakfast too, are you?"

"How could that be? Master, you are my master! I eat and dress in the Hall of Rebirth, how could I charge you for a breakfast!"

Jiang Bai spoke with righteous indignation and frankness, without the slightest hint of guilt.

walnut:"……"

Please go back one minute to say this.

Walnut gritted her teeth and took the breakfast with a huff.

Jiang Bai is getting more and more annoying.

"Master, you eat first. I'm going back to the mountaintop to plant the bombs," Jiang Bai said, stretching and feeling a bit sleepy.

Abedo and Cleo should be up and ready to plant the bomb by now; he should go back and help.

Jiang Bai pointed to the Seven Gods statue in the distance and said, "Master, just keep going up this road. You should be able to reach the vicinity of the Seven Gods statue in about two hours. When you get to the innermost part of the cave, call me and I'll pull you up with a rope."

"it is good."

Walnut nodded.

She came mainly to deal with the matter of the undead Katis; blowing up the Frostfire Nails was not her primary purpose.

After finishing a hot breakfast, Walnut extinguished the fire and packed her things to get ready to leave.

"Huh? Why don't I see any signs of tents being pitched or coffins being placed around here?"

"That guy probably didn't sleep all night, right?"

……

Jiang Bai appeared near the anchor point on the mountaintop. At this time, Abedo and the other two had already gotten up and were having breakfast.

Seeing Jiang Bai return, Kaiya breathed a sigh of relief. "You didn't come back last night, I was worried something had happened to you..."

“Klee is worried too!” Klee nodded seriously.

Abedo wasn't worried about Jiang Bai's safety. Jiang Bai possessed two elemental powers, making it difficult for any monster to be his match.

Unless you accidentally fall or get injured, there's really nothing to worry about.

Jiang Bai shrugged helplessly, "I originally planned to deliver a rabbit leg to the hall master and then come back, but it's too dark at night and the road is hard to find, so I can only come back in the morning."

When will your sect leader arrive?

Kaiya didn't know Hu Tao; he had only heard Jiang Bai mention her many times during casual conversations.

Their leader came to help them deal with the matter of the Frostfire Nails.

As Jiang Bai's direct superior, this hall master naturally deserves our attention.

"It will take another two or three hours if we leave now."

After breakfast, the group split into two groups as originally planned.

Jiang Bai and his two companions walked to the Nail of Frost. At Abedo's signal, Jiang Bai poured out large piles of explosives from his ring.

"Keli, Jiang Bai and I are going to place the explosives on the pillars. You'll place them on these icicles and on the ground below, understand?"

"No problem, Klee's got it covered!"

Klee forced a serious expression and gave a rather unorthodox knightly salute.

"Then it's up to our Spark Knights." Jiang Bai smiled and patted her shoulder.

The placement of the bomb was not complicated; the difficulty lay in maintaining body temperature in the vicinity.

Jiang Bai has thermal insulation items made by Abedo, while Abedo has an exceptional ability to resist cold.

The two climbed the icy nail bit by bit, placing a bomb at intervals and connecting them with fuses.

From a distance, the bombs and fuses looked like a large net, trapping the entire Frost Spike.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Bai, who was clinging to the Cold Sky Nail like a gecko, heard a familiar shout.

Realizing that Hu Tao had reached the cave below, he told Abe, jumped off the Frost Nail, and ran to the vicinity of the cave entrance.

"Master, wait a moment!"

The hanging basket that Keli had used was lowered little by little. After confirming that Hu Tao had sat on it, Jiang Bai turned the handle and slowly pulled it up.

It took more than ten minutes for Hu Tao to finally emerge from the narrow cave.

The walnuts that emerged bounced in place, accelerating the circulation of blood in the body.

"It's so cold here! Luckily I have Youyou, or I'd freeze to death..."

She held Little Ghost in her arms. Little Ghost, who originally had no physical form, had now completely transformed into a soft, cuddly pillow, which Hu Tao held in her embrace.

Jiang Bai really couldn't understand the characteristics of the little ghost, Hu Tao; it seemed to have a physical form one moment and not the next.

Hu Tao ignored her questions and looked around.

The nails were quite conspicuous, and she spotted them in no time. She exclaimed in surprise:

"Wow, is this the Frostfire Nail?"

"Yes."

The little ghost in Hu Tao's arms was thrown away and returned to its original form as a ghost, retracting into the ring. Hu Tao didn't care about being cold anymore and excitedly ran towards the Frost Nail.

This was the first time she had ever seen something like this.

I was very excited.

She ran to the Cold Sky Nail and looked up at the huge nail that had fallen from the sky.

It's hard to imagine that such a single nail could have led to the destruction of the ancient Snow Mountain Kingdom, turning this once lush and green place into a frozen wasteland.

"I was also shocked when I first saw it."

Chapter 138 The Nail of Cold Sky Tourist Attraction

Jiang Bai walked over, his tone somewhat regretful:

"It's a pity there's no tool to record the scene. The image of this nail would make a great cover for Cartis's travel log."

"Yes! There's a phonograph in my ring, which I put in a wooden box. Give me the ring, let me look for it..."

With all the bombs emptied, there was no need to hold onto Walnut's ring anymore, and the two exchanged their storage spaces again.

These storage spaces are used in a special way; they are not something that anyone can use casually. Each one has a unique way of opening.

After tidying up her things, Hu Tao found her camera.

This was a novel item brought over by a merchant from Fontainebleau. She thought it was fun, so she bought one. However, she only used it a few times at the beginning and then forgot about it after putting it in her ring. If Jiang Bai hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered it at all.

Jiang Bai stared at the phonograph machine with great curiosity.

"How do you use this?"

"Tap here and it will record the current scene and turn it into a photo."

Hu Tao fiddled with the camera in her hand and said to Jiang Bai, "Raise up our Rebirth Hall flag, with your back to Gen Hantian Nail, and I'll take a picture of you for promotional purposes."

Jiang Bai carried the Soul-Summoning Sail on his shoulder, the three large characters "Hall of Rebirth" on it fluttering in the wind. Abedo, who was installing bombs on the Frost Nails, revealed part of his body, and Klee poked her head out from among the ice spikes.

Hu Tao pressed the shutter to capture the moment.

As the shutter of the phonograph clicked, the printing press emitted a series of clicks, and after a while, a photograph was printed from below.

Walnut pinched the corner of the photo and shook it in the air to let the ink dry quickly.

Jiang Bai leaned closer, looking at himself in the photo and couldn't help but feel smug.

"Hehe, I'm so handsome!"

Having discovered something fun, Klee came running over with her little steps.

"What is this? Let Klee see it too!"

She tiptoed and peered around, but she was too short to see anything.

Jiang Bai handed her the photo, saying, "It's a photo!"

"Wow, I see Keli!" Ke pointed to a small red head behind Jiang Bai in the photo, her expression excited.

"And there's Brother Abedo here too!"

"This is?"

Hu Tao looked at Jiang Bai with an inquiring gaze, signaling him to introduce her to him.

“This is Klee, Abedo’s sister. I met her when I went to Mondstadt to retrieve the bomb. Kaeya, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, came with her.”

"Hello, sister!" Klee greeted her very politely.

Hu Tao smiled and patted her little head. "I'm Hu Tao."

"Would you like a photo of yourself?"

"I want it!" Klee jumped up excitedly.

"Stand here, and I'll take your picture."

The phonograph requires negatives, and she has quite a few negatives stored here, showing no stinginess in sharing her photos.

“Brother Jiang Bai, come along too!” Ke Li pulled Jiang Bai in front of the camera as well.

"Brother Abedo, come quick!"

While still diligently installing the bomb, Abedo jumped down in despair upon hearing Cleo's shouts.

The bomb is only half installed; at this rate, it probably won't be finished before noon.

"Come quick, come quick!"

Urged on by Claire, Abedo walked over to her side.

Everyone was in position. Klee flashed a cute peace sign and smiled brightly.

Smile!

Against a backdrop of icy nails, three people with different personalities strike the same peace sign pose.

Klee is adorable, Abedo is elegant, and as for Jiang Bai, he has a bright and sunny smile.

With a click, the phonograph recorded the scene.

What was once a fine nail has now been turned into a tourist attraction.

Claire held her photo with delight, as if she had received a great treasure.

"Thank you, Sister Walnut! Klee loves it so much! Klee is going to send it to her mom!"

"Then you'd better keep it safe!" Abedo chuckled.

Keli nodded seriously and put the photo into her backpack.

Upon meeting Hu Tao for the first time, Abedo gave a brief self-introduction.

"Hello, Master Hu, I am Abedo."

"Huh? You know me?" Hu Tao was a little surprised.

Has her fame as a walnut already spread to Mondstadt?

"I've heard Jiang Bai mention you before."

"Oh, I see!"

Walnut was a little disappointed, thinking that the fame of the Hall of Rebirth had spread to Mondstadt...

"My name is Hu Tao, you can just call me Hu Tao."

After a brief chat, Abedo and Claire continued setting up the explosives.

After taking another photo of an empty room that could be used as a cover, Jiang Bai brought Hu Tao to the camp and took out the diary containing the possession of Katis from the camp's inventory.

"Katis".

He called out, and Katis slowly materialized.
