"Oh ho? So many Mitachurls in the last stage... Two Anemo, two Electro, and three Slime Bombers... No close-range combat capability at all. I'll finish them off quickly~"
Saying so, Ying rushed forward. But just as she was about to reach them, the two Anemo Samachurls immediately used their skills to create two Anemo fields at Ying's feet, making her unable to move.
Feeling the immense suction beneath her feet, Ying tried to accelerate to break free, but unexpectedly, two patches of thorns suddenly appeared ahead, blocking her path.
Just as Ying was about to change direction and start anew, three Pyro Slimes suddenly fell from the sky.
"What the heck?!" Seeing that she couldn't dodge, Ying quickly raised her sword to block. However, the force of the Pyro Slimes' explosion still knocked her down into the Anemo field.
Not only that, but when the Anemo field came into contact with the fire, it immediately triggered a diffusion reaction, dealing secondary damage to Ying again. The situation became very dire in an instant.
"Wow?! Hot, hot, hot, hot!" Ying, barely enduring the flames, stood up in the Anemo field. She no longer dared to hide her strength and unleashed a "Gale Blossom" strike.
"Go with the wind!"
The tornado, upon contact with the fire, instantly transformed into a pyro-tornado and swept forward.
The seven enemies were instantly sucked into the pyro-tornado, burning to ashes. As the Anemo field disappeared, Ying lay on the ground in pain (x﹏x).
"So, Host, carelessness can lead to big trouble."
"Wuwuwu... I'll never dare again (╥﹏╥)"
"Fortunately, my skin isn't burnt... Speaking of which, the material of this outfit you gave me is really good. It's been burning for so long and it's fine."
"System products are always top-notch~ However, if it's too long, it will still burn, so Host, be careful~"
"Got it (t▽t)"
After resting for a while, Ying finally recovered some strength. She struggled to get up and walked towards the Anemo barrier.
"The energy contained in this Anemo barrier is so immense. If I force my way in, I'll definitely be torn to shreds instantly..."
"Hmph hmph~ Don't worry, Host, this system is here."
Suddenly, a large amount of Anemo energy appeared on Ying's body, enveloping her like a shield.
"You can actually do something like this?"
"Absolutely~"
"Then why didn't you help me earlier if you were so strong? ←_←"
"Because the system was restricted. The reason I can help the Host like this is also because the Host wanted to level up and fight monsters like in the game, which allowed me to provide this much help~ Normally, even if I wanted to help the Host, I couldn't do anything."
"Is that so... Alright, I believe you."
"I thought the Host would suspect me."
"After all, it's useless to not believe you. And without you, I might have been killed by those Slimes and Hilichurls right at the start because I had no weapon (￣д￣)."
"Wuwuwu... The Host's answer is truly moving (ㄒoㄒ)."
"Alright, stop crying, it's too cheesy (ー△ー). Hurry up and go in to activate the mechanism. They should be coming over soon too. After I activate the mechanism, I still need to go back and help Mondstadt clear out Hilichurls to gain experience~"
"En en!"
Ying walked towards the Anemo barrier and tentatively touched it with her hand. As soon as her hand touched the barrier, the Anemo energy attached to her body seemed to merge with the barrier. Seeing this, Ying confidently walked in.
"This close-fitting shield is amazing! After putting it on, it feels like this Anemo barrier doesn't even exist."
"Hehe~"
"Wow... it's so big in here."
Ying walked to the waypoint, lit it up, and took out her telescope to observe the appearance of the Stormterror's Lair.
"So many treasure chests! (✧∇✧)"
"And lots of Hilichurls, and a Ruin Guard below! But I'd better not provoke it now by being reckless..."
"The Host looks like a villager visiting the town for the first time."
"That analogy is actually quite accurate... But it's truly frustrating that I can't get many of these treasure chests (இwஇ)."
"Don't worry, Host, your life is still long. You'll have plenty of time to feel frustrated in the future~"
"Uh... shouldn't it be that I'll have plenty of treasure chests to open in the future... ರ_ರ"
"Hehe~"
"But this Stormterror's Lair is really huge. Klee's mother's destructive power is indeed stronger than Klee's. She really blew it up into ruins... If I remember correctly, the Anemo currents are flowing that way."
Ying opened the treasure chests along the way and knocked the scattered Hilichurls off the bridges. After cycling for a while, she finally arrived beside the Anemo currents.
"Erm... Speaking of which, I don't seem to have a Wind Glider yet (ㅇㅅㅇ❀)."
"I can't do anything about the Host. Fine, fine~ This level of thing, this system can be granted permission to do."
"Teehee~" Ying awkwardly stuck out her little tongue.
"Tell me, Host, what color Wind Glider do you want?"
"Hehe~ Then give me one from the Snow Mountain. It's my favorite Wind Glider in the game, and it'll be easier to explain if they see it later~"
"Mm, alright. Host, you can summon and use it directly from your inventory."
"Yahoo~ Thanks~ Flying!"
Ying unfolded her Wind Glider and, using the Anemo currents, reached the statue of the Seven.
"Aha! Another hundred Primogems in hand. This Wind Glider is so useful~ Now, I need to activate those light-guiding mechanisms."
Saying so, Ying used the Anemo currents to fly onto the tower and lit up the marker points above.
"I won't do this one that's missing just one piece. I'll just finish the three below~"
"Host, why are you doing that?"
"I just want to leave them some experience~ (If not for the fact that the locations of those three light-guiding mechanisms have markers that can be lit up, I wouldn't want to do any of them... (*￣з￣))"
"I can hear you, Host. ←_←"
"Cough cough cough... I was just joking just now..."
Ying leaped into the air, unfolded her Wind Glider, and flew towards a light-guiding mechanism. She quickly picked up the three scattered parts and put them back into the mechanism.
"Huh? Normally, monsters should come to stop me, right?"
"Perhaps the author was afraid that if a few Abyss Heralds and Abyss Mages spawned, they would directly send the Host to the afterlife."
"I'll be damned... Forget it, no monsters means less effort to go back to Mondstadt and farm Hilichurls (*￣з￣)." After lighting up the marker point here, Ying walked to the next light-guiding mechanism.
"By the way, system, why can I only teleport twice? Running such a long distance is so tiring (ー△ー)."
"Host, don't ask me. I don't know, and I don't listen. Wait, no, I don't hear either."
"I despise you. ←_←"
The second mechanism was restored...
"Sigh... there are so many treasure chests along the way, but I can't get them. The piles of Abyss Heralds and Abyss Mages haven't affected my sanity one bit (￣д￣)."
"So, Host, you need to get stronger quickly~"
"Sigh~ I'm afraid that before I get stronger, these treasure chests will be opened by Lumine and the others... By the way, do they get Primogems for opening treasure chests? (｡✪✪｡)"
"No, they don't."
"Uh... meaning, if even one person opens a treasure chest in this world, I'll lose some Primogems?!"
"The Host is thinking correctly~"
"Nghhh— I need a heart pill (｡＞ㅿ＜｡) What kind of scam setup is this!!!!"
"Hehe~"
"Hehe your grandma's leg, hehe! Phew... I'll be pissed to death by you, system, sooner or later..."
"Cough cough~ Host, you need to hurry. They are almost at the Anemo barrier~"
"Do you think I'll stop being angry if you change the subject?!"
"Sigh... Let's hurry up and finish this, then go back to Mondstadt. I need to find some punching bags (￣へ￣)."
"After the Host is done, will you really teleport back to help fight Hilichurls instead of helping them fight Stormterror?"
"Of course. With my current combat power, I'd probably just be a burden. Moreover, what if I interfere and change the outcome?"
"That's true."
"Uh... even though I said it myself, hearing you agree still makes me very unhappy..."
