Chapter 872 This scene felt strangely familiar.
"Lost in mind?"
The captain's voice was filled with obvious doubt. "According to the information I have about the traveler Kong, he is not a weak person. On the contrary, he is much more tenacious than most people. There must have been some misunderstanding."
Xu Ning took a sip of wine. “I hope so too. Paimon said that after they left yesterday, they heard that a large number of Abyss Order monsters had gathered near the settlement of the Land of Woru, so he volunteered to help patrol.”
The "captain" hesitated for a moment, then remained silent.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Don't you think they still have the mind to help Nata's tribe patrol? It doesn't seem like they're overthinking things... Actually, it's not entirely to help the Kingdom of Wolu. It's mainly because I shared some incredible information with him yesterday, which is about his sister."
Upon hearing this, the captain immediately understood.
It is no secret that this traveler has journeyed throughout Teyvat in search of his blood relatives.
Others may not know the identity of his blood relative, but this "captain" is a genuine Kanriyan, so how could he not know what Kong wants to do?
"So, he actually wanted to track down the Abyss Order and find that princess to verify some of your claims..."
Xu Ning nodded, "That should be the case. But it seems something strange has happened..."
Xu Ning pointed to a hidden cave below the hillside, concealed by a natural slope, and continued, "When they patrolled this cave, a Hilichurl saw them and ran away. Inside the cave, they found a discarded Hilichurl-made wooden stick and a... capsule key."
The captain stared intently at the cave, sensing that Xu Ning's so-called "strange things" might not be limited to the never-before-seen "space capsule key."
"Then they encountered a girl who looked panicked, saying she was being chased by a monster. However, neither Kong nor Paimon could see the monster behind her, but the girl's behavior was no different from that of someone being attacked by a monster."
"According to what Kong told Xiaobai Mao, after he accidentally touched the girl, he suddenly saw the beast-realm demon wolves and took action to eliminate them. However, in Xiaobai Mao's eyes, he could only see Kong drawing his sword in the void, which was very strange."
The captain suddenly spoke up and asked, "Didn't you try to make contact with that little thing?"
"Ha, with Little White Hair's curiosity, how could she not go? But she said she tried to get close to that girl named Tyrell, and it seems she didn't really manage to touch her..."
Xu Ning paused for a moment and explained, "It's like they seem to have touched each other, but there's something between them that makes them feel like there's no connection between them. But it's obviously not like that with Kong. Little White Hair is probably possessed by some kind of demonic entity, which is why he secretly came to ask for help at night."
The captain pondered for a moment. Even though he had lived for so long, he had never seen anything like this before.
"Today, Kong and Paimon will be going to the Lord of Smoke to help defend against the Abyss Legion's attack, so I came here to see that girl."
The captain shook his head slightly. "Most of the Fools are stationed near the Lord of Smoke and Mystery. The Abyss Order's combat strength is far inferior to that of the Abyss from a few days ago. With them around, the Lord of Smoke and Mystery will definitely be safe. That traveler doesn't need any support at all... Perhaps we can make contact with Miss Tyrell before he returns."
“I had already been to the cave before you woke up.”
Xu Ning stretched and stood up, letting out a long sigh. "Besides a dirty wooden stick on the ground, there's nothing there... Of course, there might be someone there, but I can't see them... You're more sensitive to spirits, could you check if there are any spirits or demons present there..."
The captain knew Xu Ning's abilities. Since he had already checked and found no one there, then there really was no one there. Perhaps there really was something strange about this place.
He asked himself to examine it again, just to put his mind at ease, so he nodded slightly and gently tapped his left chest with his right hand. An invisible ripple suddenly spread out from him.
"Not only in the cave, but there are no other spiritual entities within a hundred meters. Is it possible that she has already left or is with the traveler?"
Xu Ning was not surprised by this result. "It seems that Tyrell and Paimon said they would stay here for the time being. Since we can't find him, we can only wait for Brother Kong to come back."
Xu Ning turned his neck, as if looking for something.
"But my dog has been gone for so long, why hasn't he brought back what I want yet?"
"Dog?"
Before the "captain" could express his doubts about the question, he heard a dog barking faintly approaching from a distance.
Not far away, two rather large hunting dogs, led by a dog wearing a hat and with a long knife curled around its tail, were flanking a panicked Hilichurl from three directions, driving it toward the spot where Xu Ning and his companion were standing.
"Captain" glanced at Xu Ning. "Is this the Hilichurl who escaped from the cave?"
Xu Ning nodded. "You know, only Kong and Ying have the key to that space capsule in the entire Teyvat. Paimon said that Kong's key is still on his person, so it's worth wondering why the key we found ended up there. Fortunately, there's a wooden stick left in the cave, so I'll have the dogs look for it. Maybe we can get some clues."
The Hilichurl sensed that the dogs were trying to drive it this way, and suddenly accelerated to one side, trying to escape, seemingly unwilling to return to its cave where it had always lived.
Unfortunately, it was too slow and had no effective means of attack. After several failed attempts to break through, it was circled around by the dogs and got closer and closer to Xu Ning.
When the Hilichurl was forced to within a few meters of Xu Ning, it finally tripped over a protruding rock due to its panic. The three dogs quickly closed in, and the Hilichurl frantically waved its other hand to resist the dogs' attacks while bracing itself with one hand on the ground.
“This scene…” Xu Ning frowned.
The scene unfolding before me seemed strangely familiar, as if I had just witnessed it a few days ago…
No, I haven't seen it before.
Xu Ning suddenly remembered that this scene was the one that Paimon had told him the day before, the scene where the girl named Tyrell was chased by the Beast Realm Demon Wolf and fell in front of the sky.
