Original God's Dark Priest

After a rest, the group set out again. This time the journey was smoother and they didn't trigger any mechanisms. They soon found a box, but when they opened it, there was nothing inside.

"It seems we have taken the wrong road." Kamisato Ayaka held her forehead with her hand. She had almost guessed Safir's thoughts.

A road without traps is a fork in the road, while the correct route has all kinds of scary traps.

In other words, if they want to find the dumpling milk, they must face all kinds of obstacles and challenges.

Ying's face wasn't very good either. She also understood what Safir was thinking, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Damn it! This guy is just having a bad taste!"

Originally, she thought it was just a scary activity and there was nothing to be afraid of, but after seeing what Safire did, she said it was absolutely impossible for her not to be afraid.

Although I was not physically injured, who can bear the mental damage?

Who could bear the sudden presence of a bloody dummy on their face? And those weird traps and illusions, Ying even thought that Saphir was targeting her on purpose.

She guessed right, Saphir was deliberately making fun of her.

Not only was there a mechanism waiting for her, but also a shadow who had already dealt with Manyo Goro and was walking towards her.

"Swish, swish, swish..." The sound of the knife tip dragging on the ground came from a distance. Ying and Kamisato Ayaka concentrated their mental power and carefully identified the direction from which the sound came.

but…

The illusions cast by Saphir were never so easy to resolve.

The next moment, a long knife suddenly appeared and chopped down on Ying's forehead.

"Ying! Be careful!" When little Paimeng realized it, it was already too late. The blade was less than a foot away from Ying's face and was about to hit her.

Kamisato Ayaka didn't care about anything else and instantly took out the Mist Cutting Technique to block Shadow's slash.

After seeing the attacker clearly, Kamisato Ayaka felt a little relieved. Since it was a shadow, it meant that they would not be in danger, but she immediately became nervous again.

She is the master of Kamisato-ryu Tachijutsu Menkyo Kaiden, which means that she has almost reached the pinnacle of Tachijutsu.

Maybe Ying will take this opportunity to test her.

Ying's attack was blocked, her eyes turned cold, and she instantly swung out four or five sword beams, forcing Kamisato Ayaka to retreat, then she made a sword flower and stepped forward to chase after her.

Ying also took out his chalk sword and chased after Ying.

Kamisato Ayaka was caught in a dilemma under Ying's relentless pressure, and soon she could not resist any more. Finally, Ying seized an opportunity and made an upward move, trying to knock the weapon out of Kamisato Ayaka's hand.

But Kamisato Ayaka held the knife tightly in her hand and did not let go even though a large flaw was exposed in front of her. She knew very well that Ying would not kill her, and the opportunity to face General Raiden directly was so rare.

She would lose if the weapon slipped out of her hand. No matter what, she didn't want to give up this hard-earned challenge opportunity.

Ying noticed Kamisato Ayaka's thoughts, and her eyes softened a little, but she showed no mercy. Kamisato Ayaka revealed such a big flaw, how could she not seize it?

So, Ying decisively raised his foot and kicked forward. Kamisato Ayaka barely made room for him, but was still kicked and fell out. While flying out, she saw Ying raised his hand to catch the attack from Ying from behind.

"Sure enough...it's completely flawless." Kamisato Ayaka fell to the ground with relief, and rolled twice before stopping.

She struggled to get up, feeling a little tired. Was the gap between humans and gods really that big? There was no room for maneuver. The general didn't even use elemental power. He just used basic swordsmanship to suppress them so that they couldn't fight back.

When Ying Yi and Ying were fighting over there, they immediately noticed something was wrong. The ghost girl in front of them had scarlet light in her eyes, and her every move was ruthless and cruel, making it impossible to resist.

If the height difference wasn't there, she would have suspected that this person was Saphir in disguise. Isn't his strength too strong?

As she raised her sword to block the opponent's attack again, she asked, "Who are you?"

She suspected that there were indeed some so-called ghosts in this place. Saphir's work was one thing, but this ghost girl also gave her a great sense of oppression. She even suspected that the other party might be the rumored dead Mikiya Chiyo.

Ying was resisting very hard and was about to be defeated. Suddenly, a scream came from the distance. The ghost girl who was fighting with her paused, and then slowly disappeared before her eyes, leaving nothing behind.

Ying, who witnessed this scene, felt the hairs all over her body stand up. There was no need to doubt this, right?

This girl must be a ghost!

"She left?" Kamisato Ayaka also walked back to Ying and asked.

Ying nodded: "That weird whistle sounded and then disappeared. Linghua, could she really be a ghost?"

"That... I don't know either." Kamisato Ayaka turned her face away. She was not good at lying and would be easily exposed.

But Ying couldn't care about these things now. She frowned and looked at the place where the ghost girl disappeared. "She just disappeared without a trace. I don't feel good. There are such powerful ghosts in the Guardian Forest..."

"Should we continue?" Kamisato Ayaka thought Ying was scared and asked.

Ying nodded vigorously: "Of course! If it was something else I might be afraid, but if it's a strong enemy!"

Little Paimon also said, "With Saphir here, I don't believe she will put us in danger!"

Looking at the two people's complacent looks, Kamisato Ayaka curled the corners of her lips. This is Ying, this is how Saphir and Ying get along. Always looking for various opportunities to train her practical skills, this is what Saphir would do.

The three of them simply cleaned up and were full of confidence in breaking through Safir's mechanisms.

With the existence of an unknown ghost girl, Ying began to look forward to her appearance and then have a good fight with her.

Over there, responding to Safir's whistle, Ying returned to Safir. Her face was calm, not at all flustered.

Seeing the other party coming back, Saphir chuckled and asked, "How is it? Has Ying's strength improved?"

"She's improved a lot." Ying gave a very pertinent evaluation. "I still remember when I first saw her, she was so weak that she couldn't even block my sword. Now she can hold on to me for a long time."

After listening to Ying's evaluation, Saphir was very satisfied: "That's right, she must keep growing, and one day she will be able to touch the realm of God."

"I always feel that you may have too high expectations of her. That girl must be under a lot of pressure." Ying crossed his arms and shook his head.

Saphir did not answer this question. Is the pressure high? Who has less pressure? How can a strong person not grow up through hardships? She is no exception, Ying is no exception, no one is an exception.

"I'll try again later." Saphir thought about it and decided to attack again later, and this time, she would be the one to do it.

Naturally, she wouldn't show up easily, but who said she couldn't attack without showing up?

Over there, Ying and his group once again broke through a mechanism and were about to move forward when they were suddenly hit by an unknown object.

Along with the appearance of the unidentified object came an exaggerated laughter: "Hahahahahahahahaha, come and have a taste of my great power!"

"Something is moving! Run away!" Little Paimeng was frightened and subconsciously wanted to run away, but Ying held her back.

Little Paimon didn't understand, but saw Ying shook her head: "Listen carefully, this is obviously Yidou's voice."

"Is that Ichito also here pretending to be a ghost to scare people? Haha... But after what happened before, his little tricks are not so scary." Kamisato Ayaka was unexpectedly calm.

Little Paimon reacted indignantly: "The cowherd is actually scaring me! Damn it, I must teach him a lesson later!"

The three of them ignored this little episode and continued to move forward. Finally, they arrived at the place before the finish line.

Kamisato Ayaka pointed to the platform in front and said, "Look, are these the dango milk we are looking for?

There is also a scarecrow next to it. What is it for? "

"Whatever, finding the dumpling milk means we are the first to arrive, right?" Little Paimeng didn't care about that. She just knew she was going to win again. "Ying, let's get the dumpling milk out!"

Ying nodded, walked forward and opened the box.

The moment she touched the box, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Ying, who had been on guard, immediately prepared for battle.

The surrounding scenery continued to distort, and when it finally took shape, Ying found herself in a large, empty cave.

There is almost no shelter in the cave, making it like a natural battlefield.

At this moment, Ying didn't understand what was happening. She was being pulled into the illusion again.

"Using touch as a medium to release illusions is the culmination of Liyue's magic." In the distance, a faint female voice echoed, "Ying, welcome to the cave combat field."

"Saphir, we slept together last night, and now you're going to hit me here?" Ying didn't feel nervous at all and was in the mood to tease.

Safir laughed and replied, "I want to train you well here so that we can stay together in the future. I don't want you to die from some unexpected situation one day. I will be sad."

"So, what are the conditions for this battle?" Ying held the Chalk Sword in his hand, ready for battle.

Saphir's voice was a little distant: "The conditions...you will know."

After saying that, he fell into silence.

Ying squinted her eyes, not knowing what to do. It was very tiring to concentrate all the time. Just when she relaxed a little, an arm suddenly pierced through her chest from behind. Ying felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and the next second, she found herself back in reality.

Little Paimon and Kamisato Ayaka were looking at her with concern.

Ying sat up and rubbed her sore eyes, feeling a little disappointed. The gap was too big, and she was defeated in seconds. Then she felt a little unconvinced, and she wanted to try again, although the result might not change.

"Ying, are you okay?" Little Paimeng looked at her with concern, "You fainted suddenly, are you so tired?"

Kamisato Ayaka didn't say anything, but the worry in her eyes was no less than that of Xiao Paimeng.

Ying shook her head: "Alas, I was pulled into a fantasy world, and then I was killed instantly, what a shame..."

"Ah? Was it Saphir who did it?" Kamisato Ayaka was a little surprised and confirmed.

Ying nodded, not feeling very happy.

Kamisato Ayaka sighed, gently helped Ying to tidy up her hair and said, "Forget it, at least everything is fine."

She knew that Saphir was very strong, but she had never known her exact limits. The previous fight with General Thunder proved that Saphir's strength was definitely not something that ordinary people could match. Now that she knew that she could kill Ying, who was able to hold out for several rounds in Ying's hands, in seconds, she was not particularly surprised.

After all, Ying was only fighting Ying with swordsmanship and wasn't serious at all.

Ying stood up, stretched her body, and then took out the milk from the box: "The quantity is a bit large. It will be a bit inconvenient to carry it back like this."

"In that case, why don't we just drink some of it!" suggested little Paimon.

The scenery of the Guarding Forest is nice. Now that the first round of competition is over, they can relax here.

Ying and Linghua did not reject Paimon's suggestion. The three of them found a place to sit down and drank a bottle of dumpling milk happily.

After drinking the milk in her hand, little Paimon patted her bulging belly with satisfaction: "It's delicious!"

"Yes, the shock I just had and the hardships along the way seem to have been healed by the dumpling milk..." Kamisato Ayaka nodded. She liked this feeling very much, just like taking a bath in the Chengehu after practicing sword techniques until exhaustion every day, which would relax her whole body. She spent every day like this during this period.

As she spoke, she looked around and said, "Look carefully, the forest in front of me is still the familiar Guardian Forest. After experiencing it, it doesn't seem so scary anymore.

My brother once said that fear comes from the human heart. If your heart is at peace, the fear will naturally dissipate. Now I understand.

However, fear is not entirely a bad thing... Although I was scared a few times, I still felt very happy. "

As she spoke, two purple figures slowly walked by not far away, attracting Ying's attention.

"I want to continue wandering in the woods for a while. Do you want to join me?" Kamisato Ayaka invited.

Ying did not agree immediately, but pointed behind her: "That one over there..."

Kamisato Ayaka looked back in confusion, and when she saw the two people finally showed understanding in their eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's them. In that case, I'll leave first. You go say hello to your friends."

As if not wanting Ying to worry about her, Kamisato Ayaka added: "Don't worry, I've experienced it once, so I shouldn't be scared so easily. See you later, and have a good chat."

Kamisato Ayaka left, and Ying and Paimon walked towards the two people passing by.

The two men stood on the edge of the cliff with their backs to this side, looking into the distance, and seemed not to notice anyone approaching.

Little Paimon tried to call out: "Shadow?"

The two men heard the sound and turned around.

Little Paimon immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person..."

"You... have a very good relationship with Ying." The woman who looked very similar to Ying spoke with a smile.

Next to her, a short, defiant boy spoke up: "Long time no see. The last time we met was at Musk Reef, right? Do you want me to introduce myself?"

"I remember you, the sixth seat of the Fatui executive officers, Skirmisher Scaramucci." Ying revealed the other party's identity.

These two people were Shuanghua and Zhen who came here together.

When Shuanghua heard the name, she revealed a look of nostalgia and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, a long-lost name, Scaramucci, you are right, it is me, but I no longer need that name. My name is Shuanghua, you can also call me Guobang."

"Xiaohua." Zhen glanced at Shuanghua sideways.

He suddenly became like a frost-bitten eggplant and kept silent.

Seeing this scene, Ying was very surprised. It was rumored that Ying's sister was really a god who was not good at fighting, and died early on the battlefield of Kanreya. The scattered soldier Scaramuzi was stubborn and difficult to control. Even Saphir had no particularly good way to deal with him, and usually beat him into submission.

And even if they are defeated, they will only obey for a few days, and will continue to refuse to obey after a while.

Now seeing that this person was actually following Zhen Zhen obediently, Ying's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This scene was too fantastic!
