Chapter 156

Lord Mu Yang, you are truly worthy of being the husband of the General!

If anyone dares to say in the future that Lord Mu Yang is not a match for the General, she, Kamisato Ayaka, will be the first to disagree!

"Let's go, we really need to pick up the pace; Venti and the others are about to start fighting!" Mu Yang said to the group again.

At this moment, they were still at least five or six kilometers away from the Abyss Order's temporary base. Although such a distance was nothing to powerhouses like them, they couldn't ignore the large number of Abyssal monsters on the road!

The three women did not refuse and quickly followed in Mu Yang's footsteps.

As they advanced, Mu Yang activated the live-streaming function.

【Yae Miko: "I didn't expect such a function to exist. Interesting; it seems there will be more fun to be had.

However, with so many Rifthounds appearing in Mondstadt, it seems there will be quite a bit of trouble in the days to come."

Regarding Regarding Zhongli: "From a general rational perspective, Rifthounds are indeed troublesome.

Not because of their strength, but because their reproduction rate is truly fast enough."

Yae Miko: "Hmm, there are quite a few Rifthounds over at Tsurumi Island in Inazuma. I was given quite a fright when I went there last time.

Fortunately, the environment on Tsurumi Island seems somewhat special; even for Rifthounds, their reproduction rate there has been curbed.

It is also fortunate that it was on Tsurumi Island; otherwise, if it were anywhere else in Inazuma, I fear the entire nation would be finished."

Raiden Ei: "Miko! Didn't I warn you before that you were not allowed to go to Tsurumi Island?

Why did you still go?"

Yae Miko: "You know, having a secret right before one's eyes and not letting a fox know is very torturous for a fox. But I only observed the surroundings and came back as soon as I felt danger."

Raiden Ei: "You... be more careful in the future. Even I am unwilling to enter that place casually."

Yae Miko: "But isn't Mu Yang here now? Wouldn't it be good to let him help solve the problem on Tsurumi Island? Tsurumi Island is, after all, one of the major islands of Inazuma. If it stays like this forever, it wouldn't be good, right?

Ei, just whisper some sweet nothings in his ear; I believe Mu Yang will definitely help."

Raiden Ei: "... sking for a beating!"】

Seeing Yae Miko and Raiden Ei like this, everyone was long since accustomed to it. At first, they all thought the Raiden Shogun was an incredibly imposing and disdainful figure, but because of Yae Miko, they discovered that this General did not seem so difficult to get along with after all.

Sometimes, when everyone in the chat group discussed martial arts and cultivation, Raiden Ei would even take the initiative to stand up and offer guidance, which earned her significant recognition within the group.

Perhaps this General was not very skilled at governing a country, but she was a very decent person and easy to get along with.

"They're here," Aether said in a low voice upon seeing Dvalin roaring toward them.

"Do you need to arrange for the magic dragon Durin to confront Dvalin?" the Abyss Mage asked hurriedly.

"Yes! You arrange the battlefield here," Aether's gaze flickered slightly, "I need to go see that Traveler and my sister."

Originally, Aether had not intended to meet with Lumine so soon.

But plans could not keep up with changes.

Since Lumine had encountered this Traveler, and the other party had close ties with the gods, Lumine might soon learn of his information as well.

Of course, he still hoped that Lumine could travel through the seven nations on her own; by the time that happened, his plan would already be complete.

Before the Abyss submerged this world, Lumine would surely be able to leave safely while obtaining the corresponding power.

"Yes!" The Abyss Mage did not think much of it upon hearing this. He went to the side of the magic dragon and chanted a spell. The sleeping Durin opened its scarlet eyes, its entire body exuding a terrifying aura.

Its body, even larger than Andrius', slowly stood up. Its two massive wings unfurled, and it let out a roar at Dvalin, who was already not far away.

"Barbatos, is this my enemy?" Dvalin also did not expect that he would encounter such an opponent.

This dragon was no weaker than the Durin he had encountered back then.

If he were in his prime, he certainly wouldn't fear this dragon. But because of the torment of the poisonous blood over the past five hundred years, his strength had declined significantly. After recovering, he hadn't had time to recuperate; how was he supposed to fight this magic dragon?

Dvalin felt that Venti was making things difficult for him.

"Don't worry, Dvalin, I won't let you face this alone," Venti said, converting his points into special energy that poured continuously into Dvalin's body.

Since points could be converted into divine power, they could also be converted into the nutrients Dvalin needed. This kind of "cure-all" energy was simply too useful.

Should one say it was worthy of being the most essential energy of the current Teyvat continent?

Accompanied by a massive influx of energy, Dvalin suddenly discovered that his body, which had fallen into weakness due to Durin's venom, had recovered seven or eight-tenths with the help of this energy.

Dvalin even felt that it wouldn't be long before he could return to his peak state. It was just a pity that before he could fully recover, Venti stopped the input of energy.

"Barbatos, you..." Dvalin looked at Venti with a complex expression.

As Barbatos's kin and best companion, Dvalin knew exactly what the other party was capable of. The other party absolutely did not have such means; otherwise, he would have used them five hundred years ago.

Moreover, such a move certainly couldn't be used just whenever one wanted. Even if it hadn't allowed him to recover completely, Barbatos would likely have to pay a significant price.

"Dvalin, I'm sorry for these past five hundred years!" Venti looked at Dvalin, full of embarrassment. He had originally thought these points would be enough for Dvalin to recover.

As it turned out, the depletion of Dvalin's body was even greater than he had imagined, which made Venti feel quite awkward.

It seemed he would need to farm more points later to make it up to Dvalin.

By the way, Dvalin also suffered from significant erosion; he would resolve that all at once when the time came.

"Hmph!" Seeing Venti like this, Dvalin let out a soft snort. Although he was incredibly moved inside, he didn't say it, only turning his gaze toward Durin, who was charging toward him: "Leave this magic dragon to me; I will tear it apart with my claws."

Even now, Dvalin still remembered the original Durin. These two dragons were, if not identical in shape and size, at least eighty percent similar. To say they were unrelated was something Dvalin would never believe...

The pain of these five hundred years all came from Durin. This time, he would absolutely not spare this dragon.

As for whether he would be contaminated by poisonous blood this time, hmph, wasn't there still that Traveler?

No need to panic at all.

"Then I'll leave it to you," Venti said, not saying much more upon seeing Dvalin's attitude.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that Dvalin didn't know he could have compensated for Dvalin's physical emptiness long ago, but had simply forgotten. Otherwise, Dvalin would definitely have fought him to the death.

"Lord Barbatos, then we will head down first," Jean said, reporting to Venti hurriedly upon seeing the situation.

"Hmm, I'll have the wind send you down," Venti paused and continued, "Remember to stay far away from my battlefield."

He turned his gaze toward the controlled Andrius. It had to be said, Andrius's aura was actually quite decent at the moment.

Although this body was a bit weak, it could already utilize Andrius's authority.

Venti found it difficult to judge exactly what strength Andrius possessed at this moment. The body was incomparable to his prime, and his divine power was not as great as in his prime, but the authority of an Archon added quite a lot to Andrius's score.

"Wait," Venti suddenly thought of something. His points were originally for emergencies; he had previously planned to use them to resolve the hidden dangers in Andrius.

However, seeing that magic dragon and thinking of Dvalin, he had used the points on Dvalin. This might be a bit troublesome now; he didn't know if farming points on the spot would be enough.

If it really didn't work, should he let more Abyssal monsters in and then camp the spawn point?

Jean and Diluc did not know Venti's current thoughts. With the help of Venti's wind, they reached the ground.

Looking at the Abyssal monsters surrounding them, Jean and Diluc looked at each other. If it were in the past, they would certainly have thought they were dead for sure.

But now, they were not who they once were.

This was a dungeon run!

Unless there were a large number of powerful monsters blocking them, these Rifthounds alone were truly no match for them.

As for those Golden Wolflords, they hadn't even thought about them yet. Just from the aura alone, both could feel that these Golden Wolflords were even more powerful than the one that had appeared outside Mondstadt City.

Farming points was more important.

"Roar!" Dvalin and Durin soon began fighting in the air. Venti also quietly left Dvalin's back, took out the Skyward Harp, and looked at Andrius with a serious expression.

Andrius would not give Venti any pleasant looks. Accompanied by its loud roar, the surrounding air became increasingly cold and bone-chilling.

"Andrius..." Looking at Andrius in this state, Venti sighed softly. Although the plan was designed by him, seeing the other party controlled like this by the Abyss Order, he didn't feel very good inside either.

Andrius didn't care what Venti was thinking. It opened its bloody maw, and terrifying Cryo and Anemo elemental energy gathered in its mouth into a spherical shape, spitting it out toward Venti.
