The daily life of a sickly girl in Liyue Port
Chapter 422: Leaf Dancer
Hearing Xi Lila's mumbling, Charlotte recalled what had happened to Navia before and sighed.
Navia her father...
"Lila, you are doing well, which is better than anything else in Navia's heart."
After saying this, Charlotte got up and left, leaving Hillary Clinton alone in the coffee shop. Looking at the coffee in front of her, she had no desire to drink it at all.
So he got up and caught up with Charlotte and went home together.
After Xi Lila left, a figure appeared not far away. Seeing that Xi Lila did not drink coffee, he could not help feeling annoyed.
The previous attempt on Navia failed as the drink was drunk by the foreign traveler, and now he failed again.
Time passed quickly and it was the next morning.
Qianxue and the other two returned to the desert, and Hu Tao put away the Chen Ge pot.
The weather is nice today, the sun is shining, and there is only a slight breeze, bringing the unique coolness of the early morning.
"Resting in the Chen Ge Pot is indeed much better than resting outside."
Dixia stretched. This was a new experience for Dixia, who often spent the night in the desert. A night's rest took away all the fatigue of yesterday.
"Hehe, it's not bad, let's keep going!"
Hu Tao is now full of energy. As long as he has the Chen Ge pot, he doesn't have to worry about where to rest. It is just as Grandma Ping said at the time, it is a must-have artifact when traveling.
After that, the group continued to move forward towards the Thousand Valleys Desert. The deeper they went into the desert, the less obvious the traces of human footsteps became. They had to check the map all the time. If they were not careful, they would get lost in the desert.
While walking, most of the day passed by without me noticing. When I paid attention to the time, a golden halo had appeared in the distant sky.
"Aren't we at the Qianhe Sandland yet?" Qianxue, who was sitting on a rock to rest, asked as she looked at the water she had drunk.
Qianxue thought she could reach the destination in half a day, but it took almost a day and she still hadn't reached the destination.
"We are only a short distance away. There are many sandstorms in the Thousand Valleys Desert. Be careful when you get there. We are walking on the outermost part of the Thousand Valleys Desert. Don't go to the center.
The environment there is harsh, with frequent sandstorms and huge tornadoes. You should be able to see them after walking a distance."
One of the thirteen major areas of Xumi, it is mainly composed of Tanit Campground, "God's Chessboard", Broken Leg Valley, Giant Canyon, Narrow Corridor of the Dead, Chirping Sands, Fool's Palace, Iron Dunes, Dama Mountain, "Land of Three Canals", and the remains of the "Five Oases".
The Qianhe Desert is shaped like a vortex with the tornado as its center. Due to the influence of the huge tornado in the center, strong sandstorms often blow and visibility becomes very low due to the sandstorms.
The closer you are to the center of a sandstorm, the stronger it will feel and the worse the environment will be.
Sandstorms are intermittent meteorological disasters unique to the Qianhe Desert. Visibility will be greatly reduced when you are in one of them. The closer you are to the center of the sandstorm, the stronger it will be.
After hearing what Dixia said, Qianxue and Hutao took a short rest and then continued to move towards Qianhe Sandland. Sure enough, it was just as Dixia said.
When we got closer to the Qianhe Desert, we saw yellow sand flying in front of us, and in the distance there was a huge tornado standing between heaven and earth.
"Ahead is the Thousand Valleys Sand Land, where there is a large settlement of desert nomads, the Tanit campground, and then there is a huge group of ruins embedded in the rock wall. It's fine to just look at it from the outside. If you go deep into it, you'll risk being trapped to death."
There are also some things that Dixia did not tell Qianxue and the others, and those places are not accessible to them.
Hearing this, Qianxue and Hu Tao nodded in understanding. Just now, their minds were completely taken away by the huge tornado in the distance, which was truly horrifying.
Hu Tao took a picture of the tornado with shock in her eyes. Only from such a distance could she more intuitively feel the enormity of the tornado in the distance and the shock it brought to her.
As they walked further forward, strong winds blew on the faces of the three people. The yellow sand in front of them made it impossible for them to open their eyes. They walked towards the ancient ruins in the gullies on the sand plain in front of them against the strong wind.
It is also the Tanit campground where they can get a short rest.
Now they had no place to protect themselves from the wind and sand. The three of them were connected by ropes and walked forward with difficulty against the wind and sand. The yellow sand all over the sky made their vision blurred.
It’s not a far distance, but it’s more difficult than before.
An unknown amount of time had passed, Qianxue just kept walking with her head down, and finally, the yellow sand under her feet turned into hard rock, and the wind and sand that blurred her vision and made it impossible to open her eyes disappeared completely, and they finally walked into the gully in the desert.
In front of them was the Tanit campsite. During the two days in the desert, Qianxue and her friends finally saw humans other than themselves.
Qianxue sighed, and Dixia laughed, "Once we get out of the Qianhe Sands, I'm afraid we won't see anyone else for more than ten days, so be prepared."
After saying that, he walked towards the Tanit camping site. Qianxue and Hutao followed Dishiya's pace, but what surprised Qianxue and Hutao was that Dishiya did not walk into the camp, but continued to walk forward.
Qianxue and Hu Tao looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions but followed Dishiya's steps until they walked out of the camp and saw the Gobi ruins in front of them.
"Aren't we going to rest in the camp?"
"The camp is not very safe. Since we have the Dust Song Pot, let's stay outside. But we still need to walk a little further away. They won't dare to go out casually at night. Then we can take out the Dust Song Pot and rest here first."
They were now in a cave next to some ruins. There were protruding rocks outside that blocked the view between the two places.
Seeing this, Qianxue and Hu Tao did not hesitate. They sat down against the wall and took out the food they brought to replenish their energy. As time passed, the sky became more and more golden.
Qianxue, who was sketching, noticed that Dixia stood up and looked outside with vigilant eyes.
Qianxue and Hu Tao looked at each other and stood up, only to see that several men had already stood outside. Judging from their equipment, they looked like mercenaries wandering in the desert.
Dixia whispered in Qianxue's ears, "This is what I mean by danger. The desert is dangerous, and people living in it have to endure drought and high temperatures every day.
The group of people in front of us have been wandering in the desert for years, robbing passers-by and killing monsters. Everything they do is dangerous. Be extremely careful when you meet them and don't trust them easily."
The dangers of the desert are not just the harsh environment. After hearing Dixia's words, Qianxue nodded silently in her heart and believed in Dixia's words without a doubt.
Many of the treasure-stealing groups around Liyue do harmful things. Qianxue doesn't believe that there is no bad person in the entire Teyvat, but the environment she lived in before was too comfortable.
The mercenaries who had gathered around laughed when they heard Dixia's words, "It's great that the famous Blazing Mane Lion said this."
Hearing this, Dixia smiled and shook her head, "No, I think you misunderstood. You are just serving as an example to let my friends know that there are scums in the desert.
It is the easiest thing to deal with you in the desert."
Dixia's words successfully made the people in front of him furious, and they rushed towards Dixia with weapons raised in their hands.
At this time, Dixia was confused. They knew that she dared to come and cause trouble, so she must have a backup plan. There was nothing worth targeting her. In other words, Dixia glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye.
As expected, they saw the Impeller Dancers from the Gilded Brigade heading towards Chiyuki and Kurumi.
The Gilded Brigade's Wheel Dancers are part of a loose group of mercenaries from the desert who are willing to work for anyone for a fee.
The people of the sand have a tradition of music and dance, which originally served as a tribute to the gods, and later became a performance and fighting technique to please the king.
In the legends of the desert, there were dancers who tried to assassinate kings in their beds or towers. Even though their gods and kings have all sunk into the quicksand, the memory of dance still remains in the blood of the nation.
The weapons they use contain broken evil spirits that will awaken in times of crisis. Only the wails of the defeated can calm their anger.
The "Gilded Brigade" is the collective name given to them by people other than the Sand People. Among them are mercenary groups such as the "Sons of Farroh" and tribes such as the "Tanit".
As a nation without gods, most members of the "Gilded Brigade" will only use the martial arts of desert survivors for their livelihood and their employers.
Dixia narrowed her eyes. Could it be that someone was targeting Qianxue?
Dixia swung the sword in his hand and easily repelled the group of mercenaries, with thoughts surging in his mind.
As Qianxue is a celebrity in many countries, it is not surprising that someone might target her when she comes to Xumi. It seems that she will have to tell Seno about this after returning to Xumi City.
How daring! Little Jixiang Grass King once attended Qianxue's wedding. He knew she was her friend but still dared to do it. It can only be said that desire and greed are the best ways to destroy people's rationality.
Dixia was not worried about the safety of Qianxue and Hu Tao. They were both very strong, and a Leaf Dancer alone was not enough to defeat Qianxue and the others. Even the summoned Grass Snake was more difficult to deal with.
Qianxue watched as the Leaf Dancer came in front of her. It turned out that she was coming for her. She had been disgusted by her before in the abyss, and now she was coming again?
And you are too brave, right?
Dixia is rushing towards them with those people?
Qianxue expressed her incomprehension, or was it that Dixia's prestige among the mercenaries had declined? But the current situation did not allow Qianxue to think too much, as the impeller dancer danced towards her.
When Hu Tao saw this, flames came out of the Homa staff in her hand and she smashed it towards the Wheel Dancer. The Wheel Dancer dodged gracefully, and the double wheel dance made it impossible for Hu Tao to get close to her.
Seeing this, Hu Tao retreated to Qianxue's side. Anyway, those people couldn't hold Dixia for long, and delaying time would be beneficial to them in the end.
The Impeller Dancer didn't waste any time and directly summoned the Grass Snake. Qianxue was very familiar with this thing, but was stopped by Hu Tao when she wanted to attack.
"Divination."
Last time, it was Hu Tao who failed to stop Qian Xue, so this time, leave it to her. Hu Tao has always remembered the divination in Xumi, and she has always cared about what Nashida said when leaving Xumi City.
When had they met before? The only thing Hu Tao suspected was the little girl who was doing fortune-telling. Since it concerned Qianxue, it was impossible for Hu Tao not to care. The reason why their journey was slow these two days was that they took more rests in the middle.
At this time, Dixia had already dealt with all the mercenaries and was walking towards here. The Grass Snake didn't care about that and rushed directly towards Walnut.
The situation now is a just three against two situation, and the advantage is in my favor.
Although the Grass Snake is strong, she is facing two owners of the Fire Eye, both of whom are very powerful. Of course, Dixia is stronger.
As expected, the battle was one-sided. Even if the Wheel Dancer wanted to attack Qianxue, he was unable to break through Hu Tao and Dishiya. In the end, the Grass Snake was destroyed by Dishiya, and the Wheel Dancer was captured alive.
Dixia wanted to ask who the employer was, but unfortunately, the Impeller Dancer simply swallowed the poison in his mouth.
Seeing this, Dixia sighed, "There's nothing we can do. He committed suicide by taking poison. He is willing to work for everyone for the reward, but few are willing to commit suicide directly after failing the mission."
There was doubt in Dishia's words, so she went forward and searched the Impeller Dancer's body to see if she could find any clues.
This was probably the first time for Qianxue to observe a corpse at such a close distance. The person died right in front of her, which meant he was poisoned. If it was bloody, Qianxue would probably have looked at it very carefully.
"There should be a bounty on you, Qianxue. After all, you are a hot commodity in the eyes of some people. I just don't know if this is the first or last time. If he is smart enough, he should know that this is the last time.
Sorry, I said the wrong thing. At the moment when Qianxue took action, he was not a smart guy. He was probably confused by greed. "
Qianxue was silent for a while. She was put on a bounty. Was it because of her Mora?
Or is it because she is so beautiful that you want to take her home?
Qianxue was thinking narcissistically in her heart, and Hu Tao knew what Qianxue was thinking at a glance and knocked on Qianxue's head.
"Be serious. You are very popular now. Don't let someone kidnap you at any time."
"I see. I feel that the desert trip is more exciting."
Qianxue's words made Kurumi roll her eyes. This guy is really bold. Fucaros smiled lightly. Anyway, with her around, no one can take Qianxue away except the devil and justice.
"Haha, just keep this mindset, as long as I'm here, no one else can help me!"
Dixia laughed, she was confident in this, and this should be the last chance to make a move. The deeper they went into the desert, the more dangerous it would be. The terrain was complex, and it would be very difficult to find them in the vast desert.
I guess he was waiting for them here in advance today. After all, their speed was not too fast, so it was easy to overtake them. If he followed them all the way, Dixia would definitely notice him.
After experiencing this, Qianxue and the others chose not to stay here for long.
At dusk, they continued to move deeper into the desert.
