Chapter 297

Tsk, this old wolf is quite vengeful.

Didn't I just pull out a few of your teeth back then, is it worth holding a grudge until now?

"Oh my, you are quite vengeful."

Jiang Yan chuckled, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Andrius only felt a vast pressure like an abyss and the sea rushing towards him.

Everything around was pitch black, and a giant phantom was looking down at him.

The appearance of that giant was exactly Jiang Yan!

Damn it! Has this guy already become so terrifying?!

Andrius was almost so scared that he couldn't even maintain his own remnant shadow.

And Klee and Razor beside Jiang Yan had no such feeling at all.

They only saw that after Jiang Yan finished saying this, the two fell into a long silence.

"Hmph!"

Andrius snorted coldly and didn't say those choking words to Jiang Yan again.

After being scared by Jiang Yan like this, Andrius was obviously much more honest.

That's right, after all, Jiang Yan didn't really want to use force.

Isn't it better to be civilized?

You have to make me scare you before you become honest.

I'm talking to you with a smiling face, you'd better accept it honestly.

Otherwise, if I get angry, you might not be able to bear it~

Seeing that Andrius had become honest, Jiang Yan didn't need to threaten or intimidate him anymore.

Really, he's already a remnant soul and still dares to be so arrogant to me.

What are you thinking?

"Alright, Andrius, you're already a remnant soul, can't you just be honest."

Jiang Yan chuckled and said to Andrius.

While speaking, Jiang Yan also patted Andrius's butt, which was facing him.

Andrius's whole wolf body stiffened suddenly.

Even Razor, who was standing on the side, widened his eyes.

What did he just see?!

Jiang Yan, touched Lord Wolf King's butt!!

Andrius glared at Jiang Yan fiercely.

Gritting his teeth viciously.

Jiang Yan also knew what incredible thing he seemed to have just done, and chuckled awkwardly.

"Oh my, sorry, sorry."

Jiang Yan scratched his head; he really hadn't noticed the position he patted when he patted Andrius just now.

Who told Andrius to turn his back to him on his own.

"Alright, you came here, what exactly do you want to do?"

Andrius clearly still didn't like Jiang Yan and spoke to him with no good attitude.

After all, from beginning to end, Andrius's perception of Jiang Yan had never been very good.

"There really isn't anything."

Jiang Yan said to Andrius.

"After all, I just came to see you, this old friend."

"But now there really is something."

Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the Rifthound that Klee and Razor encountered when he just saw Klee.

"Do you have any impression of the Rifthounds that appeared in your territory?"

"That is the Rifthound!"

Jiang Yan originally called them Rifthounds directly, but he suddenly remembered that Rifthound seemed to be his own name for them, and the real name of the Rifthound was Rifthound.

Miscalculation, miscalculation!

"Rifthound? Are you talking about that group of pitch-black metal wolves?"

Andrius fell into thought upon hearing Jiang Yan's description.

"I have some impression of those guys; those guys, as soon as they came here, they wantonly destroyed the environment here."

"And, they also exuded an aura that made me disgusted!"

Jiang Yan saw a rich look of disgust in Andrius's eyes.

He knew that the aura on the Rifthounds that Andrius spoke of should be the black mist that belonged exclusively to the Abyss.

"Mm, that is indeed the case; these guys coming here is not a good thing."

Afterwards, Jiang Yan explained the matter regarding the Rifthounds to Andrius in detail.

"Mm? There is actually such a thing..."

Andrius didn't expect that the Rifthounds in Jiang Yan's mouth were just the vanguard of the Golden Wolflord.

This was enough to attract Andrius's attention.

After all, once the Golden Wolflord invades Mondstadt, it won't be fun.

Although Andrius is no longer the king of Mondstadt.

But this doesn't mean Andrius will sit idly by and watch the Golden Wolflord wreak havoc on the entire territory of Mondstadt.

"According to the reports from the wolf pack, there are not many Rifthounds appearing in the Mondstadt territory."

Andrius recalled, to be precise, there were only a few scattered Rifthounds appearing in Mondstadt this time, just three or four.

It hadn't reached the point of being rampant.

So Andrius didn't pay too much attention to these Rifthounds.

Jiang Yan wasn't too worried either.

Although this old guy Barbatos doesn't manage things much, loves to slack off, is a drunkard, and doesn't do proper work.

But regarding the attention to Mondstadt, this guy hasn't stopped for a moment; even if he occasionally sleeps, once Mondstadt encounters a crisis, he will wake up in time.

Barbatos must know about the Rifthounds in Mondstadt.

Since the other party didn't manage it, he was too lazy to intervene.

Anyway, even if the Golden Wolflord really came out, it's no big deal.

For Jiang Yan.

Golden Wolflord?

Just a toy.

Nothing to fear.

Afterwards, after chatting and joking with Andrius, Jiang Yan held little Klee, bid farewell to Razor and Andrius, and left Wolvendom.

"Razor."

After watching Jiang Yan leave, Andrius suddenly spoke to Razor.

Razor heard Andrius speak suddenly and turned his head to look at him.

"In the future, have less contact with this guy!"

Andrius snorted lightly, turned around, and gradually disappeared under Razor's confused gaze.

The light bloomed by the Wolf's Gravestone slowly disappeared, and Andrius was nowhere to be seen.

In the entire empty field, only Razor was left standing in the open space, somewhat confused.

Mm?

Why did Lord Wolf King ask me to have less contact with Klee's father?

Lord Wolf King is so strange today.

Especially after Klee’s father arrived.

Razor’s mind, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, seemed unable to comprehend the relationship between Jiang Yan and Andrius.

It felt like they were enemies, yet not quite enemies.

How strange.

He didn't understand.

In Razor’s simple consciousness, he only knew that enemies were enemies and friends were friends; he seemed unable to grasp the relationship between Andrius and Jiang Yan.

In fact, the relationship between Andrius and Jiang Yan is quite easy to understand.

It is simply that you and I were originally enemies, and even fought a war thousands of years ago; because of this, Andrius had long since added Jiang Yan to his little black book.

It’s just that before he could get his revenge, he had already poured all his power into the land of Mondstadt, restoring the vitality of the region.

Later, he became a lingering soul, unable to leave Wolvendom.

Subsequently, this opponent from thousands of years ago came knocking, and used the pressure brought by his own strength to make you behave.

Take a guess: would Andrius give Jiang Yan a pleasant look?

The two of them have been opponents from start to finish; it’s just that the current Andrius cannot beat Jiang Yan and is forced to submit to Jiang Yan’s overwhelming power.

Razor thought for a while, but ultimately couldn't make sense of it, so he simply stopped thinking about it, as he had to follow the wolf pack to hunt next.

On the other side, Jiang Yan was carrying little Klee and strolling toward the City of Mondstadt.

Along the way, the father and daughter chatted and laughed as they walked on the wilderness path of Mondstadt.

Klee was constantly telling Jiang Yan about the interesting things she had seen and heard; sometimes, when she got excited, she would even gesture with her hands and feet to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan, meanwhile, smiled the whole time, listening attentively.

For his own child, even if she told the most boring and longest story in history, Jiang Yan would listen with great interest.

Before long, when the two arrived at Springvale, they encountered Amber, the Traveler, and the others who had come over.

"Hmm? Amber? Traveler? You guys are..."

Jiang Yan looked with some confusion at Amber, the Traveler, and Paimon, who were searching for something on the side of the road in Springvale, and asked them.

"Ah! It’s Mr. Jiang... Jiang Xiaobai!"

Just as Amber was about to say Jiang Yan’s name directly, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Yan seemed to have hidden his name from the Traveler, Lumine, earlier, so she quickly corrected herself.

"Mr. Jiang Xiaobai? Are you here for a visit?"

Paimon clearly remembered Jiang Yan as well and asked him.

"Yeah. Taking my daughter out for some fun."

Jiang Yan bounced little Klee in his arms and said to them with a smile.

"You guys seem to be looking for something?"

"Yeah! We were just looking for traces of the Strange Bird!"

Amber gave Jiang Yan a detailed account of the story that had happened in Mondstadt earlier.

"I see..."

Jiang Yan rubbed his chin; with Amber putting it that way, he seemed to know what had happened.

This was the plot of Amber’s Story Quest; those who know, know.

If Amber hadn't been so detailed, Jiang Yan really wouldn't have had much of an impression of this quest.

Back then, he had apparently only done this because the main storyline was blocked, and he could only do quests to level up, which was why he played this one.

"So, do you have any leads now?"

"Do you need our help?"

Jiang Yan said to Amber with a chuckle.

"Yeah, Sister Amber, Klee can help too!"

Klee said in her milky voice, her cute little appearance looking very adorable.

No!

It was super adorable!

"No need, no need. We followed the elemental traces left by the Strange Bird all the way here; there shouldn't be any problems."

Seeing that Jiang Yan and Klee wanted to help, Amber quickly waved her hands at them.

After all, Jiang Yan had come this time specifically to accompany Klee; it wouldn't do to disrupt the father and daughter’s time together because of their business.

Amber wouldn't agree to that.

"Is that so? I don't think that group of people over there intends to let you pass so easily."

Jiang Yan looked at the group of Treasure Hoarders by the road not far away and said softly to Amber and the others.

At this moment, the group of Treasure Hoarders, each holding various weapons, were eyeing the location of Jiang Yan, Amber, and the others with hostility.

"Hmph! Leave it to me!"

The Traveler, Lumine, let out a soft snort, a Dull Blade appeared in her hand, and she rushed forward to fight!

"Hey! Wait..."

Jiang Yan opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say the words he had in mind.

Actually, there was no need to fight.

Because it was unnecessary; after the fight, the elemental traces of the Strange Bird would have mostly dissipated.

Jiang Yan had just wanted to tell Amber and Lumine, but Lumine had rushed up to fight the moment she saw the Treasure Hoarders.

Jiang Yan didn't have time to say anything.

Forget it, let them fight.

Anyway, with his cosmic perception, the Strange Bird wouldn't be able to run even if it wanted to.

Even without his cosmic perception, Amber could find the location of that Strange Bird based on the surrounding clues.

Thus, Jiang Yan once again witnessed the Traveler Lumine’s form and her method of using elemental energy.

It must be said that as a traveler from another world, Lumine’s way of using elemental energy is indeed different from how the people of Teyvat use it.

After all, humans in Teyvat need to use a Vision as a medium to drive elemental energy.

But Lumine is different.

When she uses elemental energy, it is as if the energy is born from within her own body, allowing her to use it flexibly and freely.

It doesn't have the stiff feeling that others have when they use it.

Impressive, impressive.

One can only say, truly worthy of being the protagonist twins of Genshin Impact!

Jiang Yan sighed.

You have to know, the Traveler in this world is not the Traveler in the game; in the game, you can switch to other characters to roam the world.

But in reality, the Traveler can only traverse all of Teyvat through her own step-by-step improvement.

It can be said that from the Stormterror Dvalin, to fighting Childe alone, to defeating La Signora in Inazuma, and even having to fight Scaramouche’s mecha in Sumeru.

It can be said that Lumine used her Dull Blade to kill her way through Teyvat, step by step.

Sometimes she can rival an Archon, and sometimes, she can't even beat a small soldier.

Our Traveler can really be said to be: strong when the opponent is strong, with an unknown combat power.

Before long, the group of Treasure Hoarders was beaten by Lumine and fled in all directions.

Lumine put away her Dull Blade and returned to Amber and the others.

Like a cold, taciturn enforcer.

No.

It seems Lumine has always been the type who doesn't like to talk.

"Alright, since the crisis has been cleared, let's go."

Paimon floated over to Amber’s side and said to her.

"Yeah, okay, let me see..."

Amber’s expression changed abruptly.

"No! The elemental traces of the Strange Bird have dissipated!"

"Damn it, it must be because the battle with the Treasure Hoarders took too long, causing the elemental traces to dissipate."

"That Strange Bird really had a good plan!"

"Actually using the Treasure Hoarders to stall for time!"

Amber gritted her teeth in anger.
