Chapter 8: The Sea Monster Strikes

"Sister Ganyu, it's your first time coming to Guiliji, right?"

"Well, for the first time."

Li Xiao led Ganyu to wander in the Returning Departure Collection, which is different from the game, but in fact, the Returning Departure is very large.

The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos.

The people who live here are mainly agricultural.

As far as the eye can see, the golden rice is swaying with the breeze, and the farmers are working hard, and their faces are full of happy smiles.

In the courtyard, the women sat on wooden benches, busy with weaving in their hands, and chatting about the anecdotes of tea and dinner.

The children frolicked and chased, jumping up and down, full of vitality,

Everything is so new in Ganyu's eyes.

She could feel the vitality of the people living in Guiliji, like a beautiful picture.

"Is this what Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Monarch wants to protect?"

Ganyu muttered to herself.

The scenery between the clouds is cold, and the heights are cold.

And the scenery of the world is vibrant, like the rising sun radiating warmth and radiance.

But he has always been at odds with himself.

Can inhuman things really fit in?

What was in front of her was so dazzling to her.

In a trance, Ganyu understood why the master wanted to protect these weak humans.

Those weak and lovely mortals are incomparable to any treasure.

"Lord Shenzi, you are here, this year is another bumper harvest, by the way, my chickens have laid a lot of eggs in the past few days, you can take some back to eat."

"Miko-sama, my cabbage grows very strong, take it back and eat it."

"Hey, why is there a big fat sheep behind Lord Miko, is it your pet?"

……

When the people saw the dawn coming, they enthusiastically gathered around.

Pet!?

Ganyu pursed her lips, her eyes a little resentful.

She is a hybrid of Qilin and human, but she usually mixes with Liuyun Borrowing Wind Zhenjun for too long, and most of the time she walks in the form of a beast.

"No, this is my senior sister Ganyu, a disciple of the immortals."

Li Xiao explained with a wry smile.

"It turned out to be an immortal disciple, it was really abrupt, I'm sorry for the sheep immortal, please accept these as an apology."

As she spoke, the women took a bunch of vegetables and fruits and stuffed them for Ganyu.

"That, thank you......"

Ganyu replied crampedly.

The people were so enthusiastic that she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Even forgot to correct that they are not sheep.

"Thank you, everyone, let's get busy, I'll walk around with Sister Ganyu, don't worry too much."

Li Xiao coped with it easily, and also started a family routine with several women, solved the troubles of each other's lives, and went to the field to help harvest rice by the way.

"Miko-sama, are you going to catch crabs today?"

A few children ran over and invited Li Xiao to catch crabs by the river.

"Well, not today, didn't you say that the river has been very dangerous recently, and several children in the village on the other side of Wufu Slope have been captured by sea monsters, and you don't want to become a sea monster's delicious food bar......

Li Xiao deliberately scared these children with a dark face and a gloomy tone.

"Wow!"

The children were so frightened that their buttocks were urinating, crying and running back to their mothers.

"Xiao, you're so naïve." Ganyu muttered in the back.

"I'm telling the truth."

Li Xiao spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, the reason why Wufu Slope was abandoned in the future was that the population had moved to Liyue Harbor, which would flourish in the future.

The more important reason is that it's too dangerous there.

In the north, there is a mantle in Qingce Village, and there are monsters swimming from Yunlai Sea in Bishui Hanoi.

Every night, those monsters will hum demagogic whale songs, and those who are seduced will indulge in illusory and childish dreams, and they will be thrown into the calm waters of the Bishui River, and will be pushed by the river to the depths of the Yunlai Sea.

Eventually, they merge with the countless waves, lose the memory of the village, and their dreams become the song of the sea monster.

Li Xiao and Ganyu came to the vicinity of Qiongjiye Beach.

There are quite a few Millelith patrols stationed here.

It's to avoid the sea monster he said before from catching people.

"Miko-sama!" Soldier Zhang Dong saw Li Xiao and saluted respectfully.

Colleagues next to him followed suit.

"You don't have to salute, how is it going? What's out of the ordinary? ”

Li Xiao waved his hand and asked about the situation near the mouth of the Zhangdong River.

"As Miko expected, we have set up fishing nets under the bridge built at the mouth of the river, and lately we have often caught the unlucky ones on the other side of the slope."

Zhang Dong reported truthfully.

"Is there a living mouth?" Li Xiao asked.

"Few, most of them soaked in the river for several days before drifting to the sea mouth on the side of Guiliji, and very few lucky people survived."

Zhang Dong shook his head, a hint of horror flashing in his pupils.

The sea is a mysterious territory that humans have not yet set foot in.

It is the cradle of demon gods and sea monsters.

"Divide some men out and send the body back to Wuyupo."

Li Xiao sighed, there was only so much he could do.

Even if you take precautions, you can't save everyone.

The Demon God of the Sea and his dependents are truly incomprehensible.

It's not time to tear your face off.

"Yes!"

Zhang Dong then gave the order to go down, and soon several Millelith soldiers transported a cart of corpses to Wufupo.

In order not to frighten the people, the cart was covered with a white cloth.

"It's too much!" Ganyu said in a deep voice.

She had only heard about the sins of the demon god in the sea from the mouth of Liuyun Borrowing Wind Zhenjun before, but now she saw it with her own eyes, and anger rose in her heart.

"Humans are too weak in front of the demon gods, that's why they need our protection."

Li Xiao is serious, it is right to be weak, but it is the perpetrator who is wrong.

It is said that the demon god loves people, but in a different way.

In fact, not all demon gods are like this, the sea overlords only love their own people, and only a few love people.

"Well, what the emperor said is right, the sentient beings are too miserable, and all the immortals have no intention of chasing the deer, only blaming the other demon gods for being too hateful."

Ganyu was indignant and wanted to grow up and join the war immediately.

However, she and Li Xiao are still young, and they have more than enough heart but not enough strength.

"Do what we can first."

Li Xiao smiled, and sighed that Ganyu was really an emperor.

Suddenly, the wind suddenly rose, and the dark clouds rolled on the sea level, setting off earth-shattering waves, and countless shadows surfaced.

The scarlet pupils were like red flame lanterns, flickering with demonic light.

Hundreds of sea monsters are swimming in this direction.

"Sure enough, it came."

Li Xiao's expression was solemn, and he let the storm blow.

"All the soldiers are arrayed according to the order!"

With that, he rose against the wind and exerted the power of the Demon God of Dust, setting off hundreds of feet of dust and sand to solidify the surging tsunami.

"Yes!"

The Millelith Army had been stationed on the beach heights for many days, and had been warned and prepared for a long time.

The soldiers pushed their ballistas and trebuchets out and attacked the sea monsters that leaped out of the water and into the shallows.

"Ice Slime Explosive Barrel Ready!"

"Launch!"

Knock knock!

Ice Slime barrels shoot out, creating a beautiful parabola in mid-air.

These soldiers are all well-trained, and all of them are one in a hundred marksmen, not to mention a hundred paces, but the accuracy is extremely high.

The barrels of explosives that flew in front of those sea monsters just landed on the shore and instantly froze into ice.

"That's a hilichurl's explosive barrel!?"

Ganyu exclaimed in surprise.

"It's not a hilichurl, it's self-made by our Divine Son, and its power is ten times greater than that of the hilichurls!"

The soldier next to him explained.

Li Xiao has not lost the ability to extract monsters, such as hilichurls, deceptive flowers, and young rock dragon lizards.

"Fire Slime Barrel Launch!"

Li Xiao gave an order.

Boom Boom –

As the fire slime barrels fell, a deafening roar was heard.

"It's so amazing, you're a genius, those sea monsters just came out of the water, and they still have water elements on their bodies, and they were frozen into ice and incapacitated after being attacked by the Ice Slime Explosive Barrel, and then became a live target to solve the problem by using the Fire Slime Explosive Barrel to melt the reaction!"

Ganyu shouted excitedly.

Not to mention that the other party took precautions, calculated in advance that the sea monster would attack, and even used elemental reactions to surprise the enemy.

No wonder Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to learn more from the other party.

"Mortals are overstepping!"

Just when the Millelith thought they had won a great victory, a thunderous roar was heard from the deep sea.
