Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 388: Scare Hypatia Again

A few days after the dead zone eroded the city, although Shao Yun was ill, he did not feel overly tired.

If that useless system hadn't reminded him that he was sick, Shao Yun would have even thought that it was just a joke from the devil.

Although the task of clearing the dead zone had nothing to do with him, Shao Yun still took on several commissions to clear crocodiles and long-maned tigers.

Although crocodiles and long-haired tigers are also an indispensable part of the Xumi rainforest ecosystem, they can also attack humans and their numbers need to be controlled.

Shao Yun was happy to accept such a commission, just as a form of hunting for fun.

Over the past few days, he had peeled off hundreds of three-star crocodile skins (alligator skins) and dozens of three-star long-bristled tiger skins (similar to mountain lion skins) at an astonishing speed. As for the one-star and two-star skins, none of them were worth keeping by Shao Yun.

These perfect skins are perfect to sell and make some snack money.

The therapeutic effect of Ying is obvious, and she will no longer faint when she smells the fragrance.

Moreover, the work of dealing with the dead zone has gradually become handy.

Now, it is time to leave Huacheng and go to Xumi City.

……

At noon, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell in front of Tinari's tree house. Tinari came to the door of the tree house where Shao Yun and others were resting, and there was Shao Yun sitting there leisurely basking in the sun.

He conveyed the good news to Shao Yun.

"I have good news for you. Ying can now finish her recuperation observation!"

Shao Yun was sitting lazily in the chair. After hearing this, he sat up straight and said in surprise, "Wow, I thought I had to wait a few more days."

Shao Yun suddenly remembered something and asked quickly, "By the way, Mr. Tinari, have you seen Ying and Paimon? It's almost lunch time and I haven't seen them yet. Could it be that they went to the Dead Zone to practice again?"

When Tinari saw Shao Yun asking about the whereabouts of the two of them, he raised his hand and pointed to the east of Huachengguo and replied, "Oh, the two of them went to visit Hai Baxia. She is the scholar who was so scared by you that every time he saw you, it was like seeing a long-maned tiger."

After saying that, Tinari couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and scratched his chin, muttering softly: "Oh... So that's how it is."

"But why didn't they tell me? Could this be another little secret between girls?"

When Tinari heard Shao Yun ask why Ying and Paimeng didn't ask him to go with them, he quickly explained, "Because the situation is urgent, this morning, Haibasha sent a message with her Duskbird, saying that she hasn't eaten for three days, and if we go later, something might happen."

He paused, then added: "Plus, Ying had something to ask Hypatia, and Hypatia was very afraid of you. So, she didn't ask you to come along."

When Shao Yun heard that Hai Basha was still afraid of him after so many days, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, and responded jokingly: "Oh, is that so, but I don't think I will cause such a serious psychological trauma to her."

"Especially after so many days. He should have recovered by now."

As he said this, he raised an eyebrow, finding it very amusing.

At this time, Tinari looked up and down at Shao Yun's physique, which was as strong as a mighty lion, and said with a little embarrassment: "You have to believe in your deterrent power. You have almost wiped out all the crocodiles and long-maned tigers around Huacheng."

"If they had not been discovered earlier, these two species would have been listed as protected animals."

After hearing Tinari mention that he almost wiped out crocodiles and long-maned tigers, Shao Yun couldn't help but make a joke.

"At least the Xumi people walking in the rain forest don't have to worry about being attacked by crocodiles and long-maned tigers."

"Besides, I have tried my best to show my amiable side in the past few days. I just sit outside the tree house and bask in the sun, living a retired life like an old man."

When Tinari heard Shao Yun say that he tried his best to appear friendly, he was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

He didn't want to know whether Shao Yunren was unfriendly or not. Tinari only knew that once the ecological balance of the rainforest was destroyed, the consequences would be disastrous.

He had indeed not expected that Shao Yun would be so efficient in clearing out those crocodiles and long-maned tigers.

If they had not been discovered in time, these two originally ferocious beasts would probably have become endangered protected animals in Daochenglin.

Thinking of this, Tinari quickly pulled his thoughts back to reality and hastily changed the subject: "That's off topic. Ying and Paimon are at Hypatia's."

"It's been quite a while since they left Huacheng Castle. They will be back soon." After saying that, Tinari looked up at the scorching sun at the top of the sky.

Seeing this, Shao Yun also looked up and then blew a clear whistle.

Soon, an Andalusian horse with light pink fur and a sturdy body ran over from an inconspicuous corner.

Shao Yun quickly turned over and jumped onto the saddle, then said to Tinari, "Well, I'd better go look for them. They've been out in the sun a bit too much lately, and it's pretty boring."

Seeing that Shao Yun was going to look for Ying and Paimeng, Tinari stopped trying to stop him and just said with concern: "Okay, you are familiar with the route, but you must be careful of the dead zone!"

Although these days, Tinari is working overtime to clean up the dead zone.

But as I said before, the thing that is most lacking in the forest now is the dead zone.

……

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the muddy path in the rain forest, and soon Shao Yun arrived at the cave next to the waterfall where Haibasha was meditating.

When Shao Yun arrived at the entrance of the cave, he stopped his horse and walked into the cave while shouting loudly: "Is anyone there?"

At this time, in the cave, Hypatia was chatting happily with Ying and Paimon.

After hearing Shao Yun's cry, she turned around in horror and saw Shao Yun's tall figure appear at the entrance of the cave.

Instantly, Hypatia looked as if she had seen some horrible monster. Her face turned pale and she screamed, "Ah! The long-maned tiger is coming!"

Then he hid behind Ying in a panic and grabbed the corner of Ying's clothes tightly.

Shao Yun was somewhat puzzled by Haibasha's sudden reaction. He looked around in confusion, muttering to himself.

"Long-maned tiger? Aren't those things almost protected animals in Daocheng Forest?"

However, after looking around, no trace of any wild animals was found.

Only then did he realize that the "long-maned tiger" that Haipatia mentioned was actually referring to himself.

Shao Yun couldn't help but find it a little funny. He looked at Haibasha who was shivering behind Ying, smiled jokingly, and asked, "You said I'm a long-maned tiger? Haha, am I as cute as that big cat?"

Haibasha obviously couldn't accept that Shao Yun regarded the terrifying long-maned tiger as a cute image.

She opened her eyes wide, and with a face full of fear, she shouted for help to Ying and Paimon in front of her: "Two heroes, help! This 'Long-maned Tiger' is too scary!"

Ying glanced helplessly at the panicked Haibasha behind him, then turned to look at Shao Yun who was standing at the entrance of the cave with an innocent smile on his face, and groaned secretly in his heart.

She gently patted Hypatia's hand that was holding the corner of her clothes and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. He is not a long-maned tiger and he won't hurt you."

Then, she looked at Shao Yun and said with some resentment: "Don't scare Hai Baxia anymore. She has been meditating here for three whole days and hasn't even eaten. Her body is already very weak."

Shao Yun stared at Haibasha's trembling appearance as she hid behind Ying with great interest. He became playful and shouted to Ying with a smile, "Hahaha, fine, fine! I won't scare her!"

After that, Shao Yun quickly put on an unpredictable expression that seemed like a smile, and said softly to Haibashia: "I'm so sorry, Miss Haibashia, my actions were a bit too reckless before."

At the same time, Paimon, who had been floating nearby, also came over and said to the frightened Haibaxia, "Relax, Haibaxia. If Shao Yun really wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago!"

This consolation was so straightforward that it was a bit too direct. After hearing it, Hypatia was stunned. She had no idea how to respond in order to properly express the complex and tangled emotions in her heart at the moment.

Then a scream of terror came out of Hypatia's mouth, and her soul was almost scared out of her body.

This "horror" description was much more powerful to her than the so-called forbidden knowledge.

Seeing Hypatia's face almost distorted by extreme fear, Paimon quickly used all his strength to comfort her.

"Although it does sound scary, it's the truth. Besides, Ying and I are here with you, so just put your mind at ease. He will definitely not do anything to you!"

Hearing this, Haipata's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down a little.

She mustered up a little courage and asked timidly, "Really? If you're by my side, he won't..."

Without waiting for Ying and Paimeng to make further assurances, Shao Yun threatened Haibasha again and said, "Only if you stay with Ying and Paimeng."

These words almost frightened Hypatia to death.

"Ah! Help!"

Ying quickly supported Haibashia who was about to faint, and said to Shao Yun with a hint of resentment: "Shao Yun, are you addicted to scaring people? What good will it do you if you scare Haibasha to tears?"

When Hypatia heard this, she thought to herself that she was not crying because she was scared, but that she was about to lose control of her tears.

Shao Yun looked at Hai Baxia, who was almost scared to tears by him, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Haha, it just felt funny, I didn't mean it, ahem..."

However, suddenly, Shao Yun bent over and started coughing violently.
