The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Chapter 17: The Lightbulb Cultivation of a Single Abyss Mage

There are always people in this world complaining that they are hated by the world. Their arguments are that their family treats them badly, their work is not going well, the person they secretly love does not like them, etc. But in fact, the world does not hate them. The world does not care about anyone at all. It just runs its own business indifferently. No living being is worthy of its gaze, whether it is praise or disgust.

But if there really is such a person who is rejected by the world and fate, what would this person be like?

The world gave the standard answer: Bennett.

He was picked up by an adventurer in a hellish secret place. He grew up without a father or a mother and was raised by the Adventurer's Association. Lightning and flames seemed to be particularly fond of Bennett. In thunderstorms, Bennett would be struck by lightning. When exploring the secret place, all the traps would be triggered by accident. Even though Bennett had rich adventure experience and knew all the dangers that might be encountered in the secret place.

The "Benny Adventure Group" formed by Bennett is the most special existence in the Adventurer Association. This adventure group only has Bennett. The loss of team members is closely related to his "bad luck" as the captain. It is said that a member of the Benny Adventure Group heard a "hey" sound when exploring the secret realm, and then lost consciousness in the loud explosion. The reason for this accident was that Klee blew up the secret realm as a huge rabbit hole...

As for the other team members, some got food poisoning right after joining the team, some encountered a once-in-a-century rock element turbulence when they were just one step away from the treasure, and some were struck by lightning because they were too close to Bennett... Bennett's misfortune did not only affect him. All those who were close to him seemed to have gone against the will of the world and were rejected by the world. Over time, no one was willing to take risks with Bennett. Only a girl named Fischl, who was also an adventurer, was willing to explore the unknown secrets with Bennett.

Maybe it’s because they are equally lonely... This is how Luo Mu understands the bond between the two.

But no matter how you understand it, Luo Mu’s current situation is extremely difficult because of this pair of adventurers.

Bennett fell into the water safely with the help of Oz the Crow. Although he suffered some scratches, it did not affect his movement and combat. But Luomu was not so lucky. With his water shield and ice armor fully stacked up, he fell into the water without any buffering room. The splashes of water soared into the sky, and the huge impact force almost shattered the water shield.

Just as Luo Mu emerged from the water dizzily and was about to go ashore, a flash of hot sword light was already approaching him.

It was Bennett! He didn't come ashore! The moment he saw Luo Mu, the burning flames ignited his sword and slashed at Luo Mu. This was the duty of an adventurer, the lackeys of the abyss must be eradicated!

The water shield was already in danger from the impact of the fall, and Luo Mu did not dare to use it to test the power of Bennett's sword. He suddenly stopped his staff, and two ice spikes suddenly emerged from under the water, crossed together, and just blocked Bennett's sword. Luo Mu quickly controlled the water element, broke away from the water, and floated to the river bank.

Luomu was certainly at an advantage in fighting in the water, but once his shield was broken, he, a short-armed and short-legged abyss mage, would drown. So he decided to stay grounded first.

But he didn't notice that behind him, a hint of purple was coming at him like lightning.

"Zila", a burst of thunder and lightning exploded on Luo Mu's water shield, and the violent thunder element quickly split the already thin water element shield. With a thud, Luo Mu, who lost his water shield, fell heavily into the grass on the shore. His body was twitching from the electric shock.

It was Fischl. She used her special ability to live in the night crow Oz, floated down the cliff, and shot this precise thunder arrow.

"Thank...thank you, Fischl." Bennett, who swam ashore, scratched his head embarrassedly and thanked Fischl.

Fischl's pretty face turned slightly red. She raised her head, suppressed her shyness and happiness, and said coldly, "You... you are my best friend, and you are in danger. I must help you, so as not to lose the reputation of the Pure Land of Dark Night."

"The lady said that we are friends and you're welcome." Night Crow Oz translated.

"Oz!" This time Fischl finally couldn't hold back her pretended arrogant attitude, and stomped her feet and shouted like all girls when they were angry.

Oz flapped his wings and obediently closed his mouth.

At this time, Bennett came to Oz's rescue. He pointed to the bushes not far away and said, "The Abyss Mage seems to have fallen into that bush. Let's go and have a look, lest it escape."

Fischl snorted, regaining her proud and dignified look, and said, "Alright." She raised the longbow in her hand, pulled the bowstring, and the lightning element condensed into an arrow on the bow. She aimed the arrow at the bush and slowly approached with Bennett. Oz quickly took off and blocked the airspace with its black edge.

Three steps, two steps, one step.

Fischl and the other man approached the bushes, but were surprised to find that the blue body of the Water Abyss Mage was not there. Bennett used his sword to push aside the bushes, but all he saw was a wilted sweet flower.

On the side of the bushes near the river, there was a half-man-wide water stain that stretched from the center of the bushes to the river. It looked like a dying abyss mage, who struggled to move from the bushes to the riverside and fell headfirst.

It looked like the Abyss Mage had escaped. Bennett and Fischl looked at each other, slowly put down their weapons, and the violent fluctuations of the fire and lightning elements dissipated. The two turned around and walked away.

…………

Yes, yes, I'm running away, you guys go chase me! Luo Mu, who was hiding in the bushes, was secretly delighted, but he didn't dare to move at all, and continued to do his duty and act like a wilted sweet flower.

The talent of the flower is mimicry. It can transform itself into any simple plant, such as sweet flower, mint, and lotus.

The arrow shot by Fischl not only pierced through Luomu's shield, but also poured a large amount of lightning power onto him, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. In this situation, he couldn't even move, let alone cast spells.

In this case, the advantages of system skills stand out. Stealth, Mimicry, Elemental Fire Bombs... These skills do not require spells or actions, as long as Luo Mu thinks about it, they can be activated.

He had just been shot by an arrow, and there were still lightning element particles on his body. Luo Mu was worried that if he burrowed underground, the lightning element and rock element would react to form crystals and he would be exposed, so he chose to mimic Tiantianhua. He also used the remaining water element to disguise the traces of his escape by jumping into the river to confuse the audience.

Phew, it seems they really thought I had run away. Seeing Bennett and the other man walking further and further away, Luo Mu let out a long sigh, and the stone in his heart gradually fell to the ground.

At this moment, Fischl, who had already walked away, suddenly had a gleam in her eyes, and suddenly raised her crossbow. She turned around, drew the bow, and aimed, all in one go. The sharp arrow formed by the purple lightning was like a twisted venomous snake, and it flew straight to the bush where Luo Mu was hiding. The raging lightning element was aimed directly at Luo Mu.
