Chapter 138: Dark Seelie! Immortal Art: Spirit-Summoning Command!
Yunjin shook her spear, her figure like a dragon, and immediately joined the fray.
Of course, given Yunjin’s strength, it was still beyond her reach to deal with several Ancient Geovishaps at once.
Although in the game they were mere punching bags for anyone to bully, here in the real Teyvat, they were among the top-tier elemental creatures.
Seeing this, Shenhe’s willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly; she had not expected a human to arrive.
She did not want anyone to hold her back; if an accident were to happen later, she might have to go and rescue them.
"Leave quickly; this is no place for you."
As she spoke, Shenhe, who was channeling the Exorcist spirit, thrust her spear to knock back one Geovishap, then used a side kick to flip the shaft, its sharp tail piercing the eye of another Geovishap that was trying to ambush her from behind.
This drew a shrill, miserable roar.
Yunjin remained unmoved; bright yellow Geo energy enveloped her entire body as she let out a delicate shout and struck the belly of the blinded Geovishap with her spear.
Looking at it from the outside, the Geovishap’s back was covered in rock and was extremely hard; Shenhe’s previous attacks had demonstrated that attacking there was merely tickling the opponent.
However, creatures like this would always hide their weaknesses beneath their bodies, so the defense of the belly would definitely be significantly lower.
Sure enough, Yunjin tore open the Geovishap’s skin with one strike, revealing the structure inside.
Wisps of the primal aura belonging to an elemental creature gradually leaked out.
Although Shenhe complained about the trouble and was annoyed that someone had come to interfere, her actual performance became much more relaxed.
With the two of them working together, they quickly gained the upper hand.
However, Luo Li, who was watching from behind, remained unmoved; this was merely the beginning.
Staring at the Archon residue possessing the Dark Seelie, he could sense a familiar aura.
This thing—he might have even encountered it before.
On the battlefield, ignoring the Geovishaps that were shaking the earth, Shenhe and Yunjin headed toward the Dark Seelie from left and right.
After all, the primary goal was to save the person, not to finish off these interfering Geovishaps.
The hideous thing shrouded in darkness cunningly retreated a distance, staring at a certain spot on the path the two women were taking.
The moment they stepped onto it, the ground, where the solid ice had melted, instantly became soft, as if it were about to sink.
The four surrounding Geovishaps seized the opportunity to bite down.
Yunjin reacted instantly, spinning her spear with the momentum of parting clouds; as Geo energy danced, her flag formation unfurled.
The four Geovishaps seemed to crash into a hard barrier, unable to advance an inch.
At the same time, Shenhe chanted the true incantation, casting an Immortal Art.
"Submerge the Void, Observe the Cave! Immortal Art: Spirit-Summoning Command!"
In the blink of an eye, silver frost condensed, swearing to repel all evil.
Trails of ice feathers formed a domain; while the flag formation restrained the Geovishaps, Shenhe and the Exorcist spirit—the latter being a talismanic entity—had their spear shafts covered in frost, launching a terrifyingly peerless offensive.
Even though they had only just met, the two cooperated with great tacit understanding.
At this moment, Shenhe no longer spoke of retreating quickly.
Working together, they directly skewered and killed two of the Geovishaps.
The soft, sinking ground was also directly covered by solid ice; stepping on the ice, the two knocked aside the remaining two Geovishaps and headed toward the Dark Seelie with a clear purpose.
Seeing that the last few Geovishaps were also about to be wiped out, that thing seemed to start losing its composure.
A flash of resentment and cruelty crossed its scarlet eyes; it condensed its form, creating a half-length long dragon over ten meters tall, black smoke swirling behind it, its two claws reaching out from the front.
"I'll go save the person!" Yunjin said in a low voice.
She intended to split their forces; otherwise, with the hostage constantly in the opponent's hands, it was easy to be restricted and unable to perform freely.
Shenhe, however, felt nothing about this; the only reason she had come to save the person was because, according to her impression, someone was in danger, and she ought to slay the demon.
Even if Uncle Mingjun, who had been kind to her when she was a child, were to die unexpectedly in the process, it probably wouldn't stir much of a ripple in her heart.
Fated to be a solitary star, combined with her upbringing by an adeptus, living far from human habitation since childhood, and sleeping in the wild, Shenhe’s concept of emotion was extremely thin.
"..."
Even though she gave no answer, she quickened her pace and charged to the front.
The Exorcist spirit carried ice mist, and trails of talismans scattered in the air, sealing the movements of the remaining two Geovishaps.
Shenhe herself thrust her spear toward the Dark Seelie.
The dark dragon waved its beast claws to pounce, immediately shaking Shenhe away; the so-called solid ice shattered inch by inch.
Frowning, Shenhe knelt on one knee, hesitating whether to untie the red rope, but considering that she might accidentally injure others, she could not make up her mind for a moment.
On the other side, Yunjin also encountered resistance.
Her unfurled flag formation was shattered by the Dark Seelie, and she let out a muffled groan, flying backward against the stone wall; fortunately, as she was about to fall, she grabbed a vine and swung to dissipate the force, landing lightly.
However, seeing the slightly trembling spear shaft in her hand, one knew that this impact was not easy to take.
Outside, Luo Li, acting as a spectator, was not in the least bit anxious; he knew that the current Shenhe had not yet exerted her full strength.
If one were to speak of strength alone, she was comparable to an adeptus.
The fate of the solitary star brought not only misfortune but also powerful strength.
If not for the red rope binding her fate, she herself would be the most terrifying demonic path.
"I'll go help."
Rosalyne clearly did not know the extent of Shenhe’s strength and was just about to go and help solve that Dark Seelie.
Suddenly, the situation on the field changed drastically again.
The Dark Seelie seemed to be staring fixedly at Shenhe, as if it recognized this little girl who had slain it back then.
The manifested dark dragon roared, causing the fallen leaves to tremble incessantly.
The long dragon gradually condensed a substantial body, its hideous and cold scales flashing with a chilling light.
Compared to its massive body, Shenhe and Yunjin were but two tiny existences like ants.
At the same time, a terrifying pitch-black color dyed the entire underground space, forming a thick miasma.
Moreover, in the darkness, an evil, massive, and mindless will lurked quietly, like a pack of wolves in the night, eyeing their prey.
"We can't get out?!"
Yunjin’s heart stirred; she could perceive that the passage to the outside had disappeared, and a barrier had shrouded this place.
If they didn't finish off that Dark Seelie, they probably would never be able to leave.
Moreover, in the darkness, that terrifying aura was dozens of times stronger than before, making one’s hair stand on end.
"Is this a trap?"
Yunjin realized it suddenly; it was a trap specifically for that white-haired divine maiden.
Because most of the malice was directed entirely at her.
