Chapter 105: Day 3 of Wandering in Liyue
Forcing your way through a space gap is risky.
This space was already chaotic. Although Yan Fei and Kong had forcibly opened a crack in the space layer, the turbulence generated by the intersection of space was very strong. Especially since Xiao had forced his way through, it was inevitable that he would be injured.
Even though Shui Qingli had tried his best to block some turbulence attacks for him while rushing over, it was the same after all, he used E directly over here.
This inevitably reminded Shui Qingli of the scene where Xiao used the third stage of E to rush to save Kong.
It's not that he's thinking in a wrong way on purpose, it's just that it's too good to eat.
It is reasonable to suspect that the planner designed it this way on purpose. Maybe he is also a CP fan?
"..."
As soon as Xiao rushed through the crack, he fell down uncontrollably. He barely managed to hold on to avoid falling.
"You are hurt?!"
Sora quickly came over and asked with concern.
"He just passed through the space without any protection. It was too reckless."
Shui Qingli checked his injuries and frowned. With him around, Xiao could still get injured so badly. How would he explain this to Mr. Zhongli later?
Although the water element also has healing functions, Shui Qingli has never developed it in this direction, otherwise it would be able to help Xiao heal his wounds to some extent.
The main thing is that the original Water Prince didn’t have one... uh, it seems like he really does exist?
Shui Qingli suddenly seemed to realize something. He dug into the memories left to him by Prince Shui before his consciousness disappeared, and found that there really was power related to healing external injuries. However, that kind of power was using one's own immortal power to heal external injuries, which was completely incomparable to Princess Ling's life force.
It was an external injury. He looked down at the wound on Xiao's arm that was cut by the space turbulence. Perhaps because of his immortal physique, no blood flowed out of the wound. Instead, a steady stream of green aura emerged from it, somewhat similar to the elemental force with miasma.
Shui Qingli was thoughtful after seeing this.
Could it be that the essence of immortals is actually a kind of elemental life? It's just that they haven't been elevated to the level of demon gods?
In this light, it is no wonder that Mr. Zhongli once said that he could also become an immortal of Liyue, but his origin was much higher than that of the immortals.
"Anyway, let's take the Demon-Subduing Great Sage to the camp first. We shouldn't stay here for long."
Yan Fei said, Kong nodded, and very consciously bent down to help Xiao up.
"I'll just leave on my own."
Xiao is a person who doesn't like to trouble others. Just as he was about to refuse, Kong grabbed his arm.
"It's okay, just let me be your back for once. Don't forget that you were the one who saved me in the Jade Pavilion."
Kong said with a firm expression, then lowered his head and passed under Xiao's left arm. The next second, he supported half of Xiao's body against himself.
Shui Qingli and Yan Fei behind them looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes, although they were thinking in different directions...
Yan Fei was relieved that the Demon-Subduing Saint finally had a friend with whom he could confide, and she would not back off because of his rejection. If she told Grandma Ping, she would definitely be happy for the Demon-Subduing Saint.
As for our protagonist, he thinks whatever the readers in front of the screen are thinking (just don't fantasize too much).
When they arrived at the camp, Xiao had recovered a lot of his strength. He struggled to break away from Kong and turned to look at him. Their pair of golden and dark gold pupils looked at each other.
“This way we can avoid getting separated.”
Seeing the worry in Kong's eyes, Xiao turned his head and explained.
"A lot of things did happen on our side, but it's not just about our safety. You're injured, we can't just leave it alone."
Yan Fei thought he had misunderstood and quickly explained.
"It's just an injury, nothing serious. I shouldn't drag others down."
Xiao turned around, took a few steps forward and said.
He was still unwilling to get close to humans and would only feel at ease if he stood farther away from the camp.
Yan Fei, Kong and Ye Lan all comforted him with a few words, and Xiao nodded, sat down where he was, as if preparing to close his eyes and rest.
"Qingli, you are not hurt, right?"
Sora turned to the other person and asked.
"He rushed forward and blocked the space turbulence. How could I be injured?"
Shui Qingli's tone sounded a little stiff and contained some blame, but the person who was called out closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear to her.
"You were in danger just now, right? I vaguely heard your conversation just now."
"…It can't be said to be dangerous. It's just that this space takes advantage of our psychology and creates the illusion we want to see the most."
Shui Qingli was silent for a moment before answering.
He hasn't thought about his past memories for a long time, probably since... Prince Water truly entrusted this body and all his memories to him.
Sometimes he would doubt that he might really have no way to leave the continent of Teyvat, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"What phantom do you want to see most?"
The three of them looked at each other and realized something was wrong.
"But the room we just entered was the illusion that everyone fears the most. Why did you see something different from us?"
Yan Fei asked curiously.
"That's why I say this space is good at taking advantage of our psychology. Didn't you also discover that?"
Shui Qingli smiled slightly and said.
"It chooses different ways to attack different people. Your strength is insufficient but you are united. It will summon the power you fear most and increase your psychological fear of it."
"Although there are only two of us, Xiao and I are not afraid of certain things, so it chooses to overcome hardness with softness. If I have someone I want to see, it will conjure that person's shadow in front of me. If Xiao feels guilty about... something, it will let that person's shadow come out to attack Xiao."
"If I hadn't stopped him just now, he would have almost given up resistance and let that man attack him."
"Yan Fei, have you discovered anything new?"
Seeing Yan Fei's thoughtful expression, he continued to ask, knowing that Yan Fei already had an idea.
"Yes, I understand that, too."
Yan Fei smiled and looked much more energetic.
"This space is actually not as powerful as we imagined. It does have the power to see through people's hearts and has strange illusions that prevent us from leaving, but that's all."
"If it has such powerful strength, there is no need to defeat us one by one, and it can just devour us directly. Then there must be a way to break through its power, but we just haven't found it yet."
"Yes."
Ye Lan answered.
"When I was looking for the exit before, I saw something in the secret realm that looked like a magical tool made by my family, but it disappeared without a trace as soon as I got close to it."
She smiled coldly, as if those things were tempting her to be deceived.
"By reading our minds, by playing to our preferences and creating illusions, everything is done to make us relax or tired."
"Its purpose is to trap us here until we are exhausted."
She concluded with this sentence and made the final judgment.
