Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

Three days later, the search for the Turbid Water Spirit still found nothing.

In contrast, Nanke gradually discovered some intriguing traces.

——Some wild animals show signs of being contaminated by the abyss.

They also include some muddy water elves who were originally eroded by the abyss and went crazy and self-mutilated.

Nanke met one by the side of a large lake with dead willow trees.

The thick tree trunks on the island in the center of the lake are gray and withered, and the turbid water spirit is paralyzed at the roots of the trees, with scars all over its body and black energy rising into the sky.

It doesn't work anymore.

Nanke stretched out her hand, and the clear water element transformed from nothing drop by drop, gathered on her fingertips, and poured into the body of the turbid water elf.

A soft "pop" sound.

The turbid water spirit turned into a pool of pure water and bloomed, quietly flowing into the land.

The skirmisher leaned against the dry and raised tree root: "Its injury is very new and it was contaminated recently."

"Is it the fool's fault?" Nanke raised his head and asked.

"Not ruled out."

Nanke pursed his lips, stood up, and looked at the bottom of the lake following the wisps of black air left by the turbid water elves: "Maybe the so-called pure water elves that can talk are also abnormalities caused by pollution."

"Do you want to go down?" The soldier frowned.

"It used its last strength to bring out clues, and I couldn't sit idly by." Nanke took a step toward the lake, thought of something, and looked at the quiet bushes in the distance, "Don't follow me again."

The bushes trembled in response to her voice, and a bit of dark blue beauty popped up at the tip of her ears, then quickly retracted.

Nanke made mental preparations, took a deep breath, and stepped into the lake.

The water in Fontaine is blessed by the gods. Anyone who can control the elemental power can move freely in the water.

The lake water was bitingly cold. The moment he dived in, even though he had expected it, Nanke couldn't help but flutter.

She paused for two seconds and mustered up the courage to open her eyes.

The chaos under the water was like mist, and a string of pearl-like foam floated past the eyes, rising toward the water above.

Nanke relaxed and opened his mouth to spit out more bubbles.

The skirmishers stood on the shore and stared nervously. They saw strings of foam emerging from the figures sinking into the lake, disrupting their vision and making it impossible to judge Nanke's situation.

Just when he was about to lose his nerve and go into the water to fish for someone, Nanke's head suddenly popped up with a crash.

The skirmisher gave a short sigh and breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows were still furrowed: "Is it possible?"

"After getting used to the water, it's actually warmer than on land." Nanke smiled and moved the water in front of him, "If the country collapses, you can come too."

There is no need for the doll to breathe, let alone the boring trouble of drowning.

Having long been accustomed to flying, the skirmishers quickly entered the state after entering the water.

Nanke was inspired by him, spread his wings, and followed the traces of the abyss turbulent in the water, flying deeper into the center of the lake.

Fontaine's waterways are not only densely woven on land, but also intricately tangled underground.

After a long deep dive, they finally emerged from the quiet underground space after passing through a turbulent countercurrent.

The skirmisher came ashore first and pulled her up: "Have a rest for a while."

"it is good."

Before he got out of the water, Nanke saw firelight on the black and winding water.

It proves that someone is indeed behind the pollution.

Submersible swimming consumes a lot of elemental power and physical strength. It is better to repair it before meeting the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, unexpectedly, they warmed their bodies with the fire and cautiously walked forward along the long corridor. They met another water inlet.

Nanke stopped hesitantly: "Can the injured turbid water elf have the ability to run so far?"

"It's more like a rest stop for us." The skirmisher looked worried.

"Now that I think about it, the place where the turbid water elf stayed was too conspicuous." Nanke looked at the black air that continued to extend underwater. "Someone sent it there intentionally."

"Judging from the time, it's possible that he knew we were investigating and put the bait there specially."

Who is he who insists on having trouble with Funina?

Nanke racked his brains.

Servant?

What about Villette?

Or who else?

Without enough information, they couldn't come up with an answer just by thinking about it. In short, the only thing that was certain was that there must be someone waiting for them at the end of the black energy.

It was difficult to measure the passage of time underground. Due to lack of physical strength, Nanke even took a nap halfway.

Judging from the distance, it can only be felt that they seem to be heading south, far away from the scope of the Iriya Forest District.

The final outlet of the waterway is at the bottom of the sea.

I don’t know how deep it is, but there is a cold darkness all around.

A ray of blue skylight above the head floats with the waves, reflecting the ink-like traces that diffuse upward.

Condensed purple light lit up beside him, illuminating a small and narrow space. It was difficult to make a sound in the water. Nanke pointed upward towards the skirmishers.

The skirmisher nodded and they floated upward together.

Suddenly, an unusually warm water spurted out from the deep sea and rushed into their midst in the blink of an eye.

Nanke was tilted upward by the momentum, but he could barely stabilize his body. The invisible ocean current in his field of vision stirred up a large amount of snow-white foam, which instantly enveloped the stragglers.

It was too late to reach out and grab it, and the skirmisher was rushed into the distance.

Nanke spread his wings and chased after him.

But unexpectedly, he bumped into an invisible water barrier.

Nanke wanted to retreat, but his movements were far from fast enough.

This was not only a barrier, but also a powerful whirlpool. Her speed was so fast that most of her body was caught in it.

Her desperate struggle only caused her body to stagnate for a moment. The next second, the rapids swept her up and ran in the opposite direction to the skirmishers.

The sparkling sea drew closer, and a large ray of light hit his eyes.

Nanke's body lightened up and he was thrown out of the sea.

The power of the whirlpool did not disappear. When she tried to spread her wings, with a huge force that was about to tear the human body apart, she crashed into a huge thing suspended above the sea.

It was a tall tower hanging among the clouds.

Nanke was thrown in.

The light converged, and everything around was cold iron gray. Nanke twisted his body forcefully due to inertia, and his wings splashed away large water droplets. It was dangerous and dangerous, and he stopped his momentum before hitting the hard wall on the opposite side.

Nanke held his hand against the wall, and before he could take a breath, his nerves froze and he suddenly jumped up to the side.

A spear filled with evil energy pierced the corner where she had stopped a moment ago, sending cold white sparks flying along with the gravel.

With a thought in Nanke's mind, flying thunder appeared. The moment she turned her head to see the enemy in sight, she released three thunder arrows.

Only then did Nanke see clearly the person who led her here and launched a sneak attack——

Tall and thin, his whole body was wrapped in a robe painted with black and silver totems, and even his face was airtightly obscured by a mask decorated with spikes.

When he raised his hand to cast a spell to block the thunder arrow, a bit of skin slipped out of the opponent's robe, like a multi-edge dark purple crystal, filled with evil energy.
