Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After Shao Yun hung up the connection with the void terminal, he took a deep breath, reached out and pulled out the slightly old John's cowboy revolver from his waist.

He gently stroked the gun, feeling the traces of time and the legendary stories it carried.

Although this gun looks weathered, its unique texture and the mysterious aura it exudes still make it impossible to ignore its former glory.

It is worthy of being a weapon from Western legend.

At this time, Candice, who was standing in front of Shao Yun, frowned slightly, put her hand gently on her chest, and asked with concern: "So, have you really decided to go to Xumi City? But with your current physical condition, is it too risky to do so?"

Shao Yun nodded slightly, a determined smile on his face.

He put John's cowboy revolver back into its holster and replied, "I can't just watch my love be locked up in a cell and not do anything about it."

Candice said softly with a guilty look on her face: "I'm really sorry, Shao Yun, I really want to go with you, but I have the important task of protecting Aru Village and I can't get away... However, I have something important to give you."

As he spoke, he carefully took out an "Ankh" that emitted dazzling golden light from his arms, and then gently placed it in Shao Yun's palm.

Candice raised her head slightly, gazed at Shao Yun gently and intently, and introduced him slowly.

"This item was handed down from the Red King Civilization era a long time ago. It is said that wearing it can prevent disasters, diseases, and the invasion of magic, and help the wearer win victory in love and war. Come and pray for eternal health, love, and wealth."

Shao Yun listened to Candice's story quietly, his eyes never leaving the exquisite "Ankh" in his palm.

He felt the coolness of the metal and nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood the deep friendship implied by this gift. At the same time, he thanked Candice with gratitude: "Thank you, Candice, I accept your kindness."

At this moment, a system that had not appeared for a long time suddenly popped up a striking prompt message.

[Ankh given to you by Candice: Effect: The consumption rate of three core values ​​is reduced by 90% (legend has it that this is a symbol of life and resurrection)]

……

After walking out of the room, Shao Yun slowly raised his head and stared at the scorching and dazzling sun hanging high in the sky over Aru Village.

He took a deep breath, then his eyes moved to the flashing screen in front of him.

Shao Yun had a faint smile on his face, but his tone was still as calm as water. He said softly, "You haven't shown up for a long time. Where have you been busy these days?"

However, the system did not immediately give a clear explanation, but instead responded with a blessing.

[Go do what you have to do. Perhaps John Marston is right. And you are not the kind of person who is easily frightened.]

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun raised his eyebrows with a smile, and asked casually but meaningfully, "You are afraid too?"

After a brief pause, the system replied slowly.

"Maybe, but then I gradually realized that all the actions I took because of excessive worry were in vain in the end... Oh, by the way, are you really not afraid of death at all?"

Faced with this question, Shao Yun's expression remained calm and composed. He shook his head slightly and slowly answered: "Everyone is afraid of death. I am probably just afraid that my death will be meaningless."

……

After Shao Yun walked out of Aru Village, he was just about to whistle to call his horse.

However, at this moment, a figure appeared in the middle of the road ahead and blocked the way.

Shao Yun looked closely and saw that it was a man wearing a tall hat, standing there quietly, as if he had been waiting for his arrival.

After Shao Yun saw it clearly, he immediately cursed: "How dare you show up here?"

However, facing Shao Yun's scolding, the man in the tall hat remained silent. He just stood there quietly, without moving.

Seeing that the other party had no reaction, Shao Yun continued to scold: "You broke your promise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall hat man who had remained silent finally opened his mouth slowly and argued in a weird tone: "I didn't break my promise. I just reminded them from the side and asked them to strengthen the management of certain things."

After hearing this specious speech, Shao Yun pointed at it and cursed: "You are a dishonest and shameless bastard! Get out of my way!"

However, despite Shao Yun's anger, the tall hat man still looked unusually calm. He looked at Shao Yun calmly and said softly, "You still need my help now, don't you? Just like last time."

Shao Yun did not respond to the man in the flattering hat, but walked around him and continued forward.

He walked forward quickly without looking back, but after walking for a distance, he suddenly stopped.

Shao Yun turned around and glared at the man in the top hat who was still standing there. He couldn't help cursing, "I must be crazy to believe your nonsense again!"

After saying that, Shao Yun sighed helplessly, facing the tall hat man, and said calmly: "Actually, if I think about it carefully, I have nothing to be afraid of now."

"As the saying goes, the only thing people have to fear is fear itself?"

Then, Shao Yun reached into his backpack and fumbled for something, and soon he took out the deck of cards that he had once given him.

He skillfully took the cards in his hand and began to shuffle them, making crisp sounds in the process.

At the same time, Shao Yun was still muttering to himself.

"Now, let's draw this deck of cards to decide the winner! If you win, kill me immediately; but if I win, you have to help me obediently."

The man in the top hat standing nearby stared closely at Shao Yun's action of shuffling the cards. After a moment, he slowly said, "Are you betting your own life? Aren't you afraid of losing miserably?"

Shao Yun pretended that he hadn't heard what the flattering man said, and continued to shuffle the cards, muttering to himself, "Okay, I'm going to draw first!"

Before he finished speaking, he drew a card from the pile in his hand and turned it over.

In an instant, the pattern on the playing card became clearly visible. It was the King of Spades that Rock Abyss had drawn!

After seeing this card, Shao Yun still said calmly: "Wow! It's actually the Spade King of the Stratum Abyss! It seems that even if I am terminally ill, my luck is still good!"

The tall hat man who had been staring at Shao Yun shook his head expressionlessly and said in a very calm tone: "How dare you say that I'm unfair? In fact, you are the one who is really unfair! I never agreed to play this boring game with you."

Shao Yun didn't take the flattering man's words seriously at all. Instead, he acted as if he had given up.

"You are the best at playing those word games. Only things that make you feel disadvantaged and unfair are truly fair to me! What do you think? Are you not convinced?"

After hearing Shao Yun's seemingly far-fetched words, the man in the flattering hat was stunned at first, and then fell into a brief silence.

After about ten seconds, the man in the tall hat suddenly reached inside the clothes.

Soon, he took out two things from it and threw them to Shao Yun.

Only two "click" sounds were heard, and the two items fell to the ground in front of Shao Yun.

"Here, here you go."

Shao Yun lowered his head and his eyes fell on his feet, where he saw a slightly old slingshot and a stone that looked "ordinary".

He stared at the two items with a puzzled look on his face, and couldn't help asking, "These primitive things? Do you really think they can help me?"

The man in the tall hat standing in front of him uttered a meaningful sentence slowly.

"You have to choose between 'boil water' and 'throw rocks', right?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully, then squatted down and put the slingshot and the stone into his backpack.

After completing these movements, he blew a clear and loud whistle.

However, as the sound of horse hooves coming from far away rang in his ears, Shao Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

Because what came into view was not the pale pink figure he was expecting, but the tall and mighty Hungarian mixed breed horse "Boadicea" with brown chestnut fur.

Looking at the "girl" in front of him whom he hadn't seen for some time, Shao Yun widened his eyes and was a little at a loss for a moment.

After a moment, he came to his senses, walked up and gently patted Boadicea's strong neck, and asked: "Why did you run out?"

As if he understood Shao Yun's words, Boadicea raised his head and let out a low and dull neigh.

Then she raised her front hooves and dug hard into the sand beneath her feet a few times.

That look seemed to be telling Shao Yun: Stop talking nonsense, you need me, come up quickly!

Shao Yun saw through her intention and asked, "We might both lose our lives this time, are you still determined to stay with me?"

Boadicea shook her head slightly, then used her head to push Shao Yun's body, as if urging him to move quickly, as if to say, "Come up quickly, don't dawdle!"

Shao Yun instantly understood Boadicea's meaning, quickly reached out to grab the reins, stepped on the stirrup, turned over and rode on the horse's back.

After sitting firmly, Shao Yun reached out his hand, gently patted Boadicea's neck, and said softly: "Girl, let's immediately let that self-righteous clown Azar understand why the things we experienced in Inazuma have not been spread."

As he spoke, Shao Yun took off the white River Valley hat on his head and replaced it with the black gambler's hat.

At the same time, his tone became unusually cold, and his eyes revealed a chilling chill, and then he said: "Because anyone who knows the inside story of this matter is either dead or shut up!"

The man in the top hat stood there motionless, looked up at the boundless sky, and began to recite two paragraphs in a low voice.

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had held.”

“When he opened the sixth seal, I saw another great earthquake. The sun became black like sackcloth with hair, and the moon became red like blood. And the stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a strong wind.”

……

On the other side, in a makeshift camp in the forest.

This campsite is close to a small stream and backed by a hill, making it a Feng Shui treasure land.

Lana, who was traveling with Lannaro "Lan Lana", was preparing breakfast by the fire when suddenly Lannaro "Lan Lana", who was traveling with her, began to tremble.

Seeing it tremble, Lana put down the spoon that was stirring the pot and asked, "Lan Lana, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Lana said in horror: "Lana, hide quickly, I hear the forest crying!"

Lana pricked up her ears in confusion and listened to the sounds around her. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no sound of crying.

Lana asked confusedly, "What, crying? I didn't hear anything?"

Lana took Lana's hand and pulled her to the hill behind her.

Then, it recited some words that Lana couldn't understand, or to be more precise, it sang a melody that Lana couldn't understand.

Then, the vines in front of him faded away, revealing a hole wrapped in vines.

Lan Lana pulled Lana into the cave entrance, and then told her: "Lana, you hide in this cave. I need to go back to Hengna Lana. Wait for me to come back."

After saying that, Lan Lana disappeared in front of Lana in the blink of an eye.

……

On the other side, in Xumi City, at Dina Zedai’s house.

Dishia, who was hiding in Dinazedai's house to recuperate, was in better condition under the care of Dinazedai and Nilu.

The operations in the past few days were simply a disaster. If Rahman had not risked his life to lead his men to break out, Dishia would have been captured by the Thirty-Man Group and the Fatui long ago.

As for Nilu, she was also caught in the trap. She had just finished dancing on the platform square in front of the Church House when the thirty-man mercenaries clapped their hands and were about to arrest her.

If they hadn't run fast, they would have been locked up in the confinement room of the Ordinance House.

After running out of the Church of the Imam, he met Dishia, who was covered in blood and staggering out of the Grand Bazaar.

Just when the two of them were like headless flies, because they thought of what Shao Yun had said to her, Ni Lu immediately supported Dishiya, who was injured for the second time, and came to Dinazedai's house.

In fact, Dinazedai's father, Shazzaman, was extremely unwilling to do so when he knew that his daughter was going to harbor a person wanted by the Fatma's Council.

However, in the end, he agreed under his daughter's threat to commit suicide.

However, he asked Dixia and Nilu not to go out, and most importantly, not to be discovered by others.

Dixia and Nilu agreed and recuperated at Dinazedai's home.
