Xavier noticed the anomaly and quietly asked, "What's wrong, Venti? Is there some danger?"
"Well, it's not really danger. Oh, just go see for yourself!"
As soon as Venti finished speaking, Xavier saw a young Rifthound flying towards them from not far away.
Xavier was startled at first, then intended to go and eliminate this pest.
"Damn it, that Golden King Beast is too despicable. I didn't beat him into submission last time, and now he dares to bring his subordinates to cause trouble again!"
Xavier was furious. The creations Rhinedottir made were truly resilient.
"Oh no, it's those terrifying Wolfy Beasts!"
Upon seeing the Rifthound, Eula also entered a state of combat readiness.
This monster had caused them Mondstadt a lot of trouble, and the memory was still fresh.
"What, is this monster very scary? You guys quickly deal with it, I'll cheer you on!"
Everyone else was preparing for battle, only Furina hid behind Navia, acting as a cheerleader.
However, just as everyone was about to act, another familiar figure suddenly appeared before them.
"Wolfy, don't run, wait a minute~"
A small, fiery red figure, holding a bomb in his hand and with element sparks on his head, was chasing this Rifthound.
Whether it was his eyes playing tricks or something else, Xavier even saw fear and terror on the monster's face.
No wonder it ran this way even with so many people around. So that's it…
The Rifthound then realized that neither side seemed easy to deal with, and it was caught in a pincer attack.
It floated in mid-air, unable to advance or retreat, feeling utterly desperate.
Eula breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Klee was safe and sound, then asked, "Klee, why are you here? Also, how can you chase such a dangerous monster?"
Klee was probably a little guilty and quickly put away his Bombs.
"Hmm~ Klee thought it was interesting, so I chased it to play. This should be Razor's Wolfy, right~"
Everyone was speechless after hearing this answer, and Xavier even held his forehead.
"Klee, there's no way this could be a wolf from Razor's pack, is there? Don't you feel its aura is very evil?" Amber quickly said.
"Evil?"
Klee tilted his little head, his finger resting on his mouth, completely unable to understand why this Wolfy had an evil aura.
"Hmm, Klee can feel that this wolf is different from other wolves, but I didn't realize it was evil."
It was a good thing Klee wasn't an ordinary child, otherwise, encountering such a monster would likely have cost him his life.
"Oh right! Klee remembered, when I first bombed it, it wouldn't get hurt. This Wolfy is so amazing!"
Everyone gasped. Was this how Klee played with "Wolfy"?
"Holy moly, how is this dog so realistic? It can even fly."
"UP, you're amazing. It's one thing for Oz to fly, but you even made a Bloodhound."
"If you ask me, this isn't a prop at all, but the Great Demon King filming on Teyvat."
"Whether it's real footage or not, whether it's part of the story or not, I love watching it, and I'll just assume it's real!"
At this point, everyone had completely given up thinking. Why use your brain when watching a live stream? Just watch!
Xavier saw the bullet comments but didn't reply, because there was clearly something more important to do.
"Snap!"
Xavier snapped his fingers, and then a fireball descended from the sky, directly incinerating the small Bloodhound into ashes.
Xavier squatted down and came before Klee, asking, "Klee, tell Brother Xavier, did you only see this one Wolfy?"
Because the camera was very close, Klee completely filled the screen, making a group of men and women in the bullet comments smile like doting aunts.
"It seems there are others too, but Klee didn't chase them because they were very big, and Klee thought they weren't pretty."
Klee's answer was very innocent and direct, and it also provided Xavier with useful information.
That is, there were other Bloodhound here, and it seemed there were quite a few of them.
What's more, they appeared in this Nameless Canyon, and Bennett might have been attacked.
"Venti!"
Xavier stopped talking nonsense and turned to look at Venti.
"Hehe, leave it to me."
To others, Venti seemed unchanged, just quietly closing his eyes.
But if one observed carefully, they would notice that Venti's small braid had lit up.
Then, gentle breezes blew past everyone, flowing into the canyon.
A moment later, Venti opened his eyes and said, "Let's go, it's deeper inside, but you guys should be mentally prepared."
Venti led the way, with Xavier following closely behind.
Some of the others understood what he meant, while some were puzzled as to why Venti knew the situation.
Hu Tao couldn't help but ask Furina next to him, "Furina, do you think Fischl and the others still don't know Venti's identity?"
"What identity, what identity? Let me hear!" Navia heard gossip and quickly ran over.
"Oh, it's not a big secret, anyway, many people know it now."
The more Hu Tao said this, the more curious others became.
Even Shenhe and Kazuha leaned in, eager to know what this secret was.
"Well, actually, Venti's true identity is the Anemo Archon, which is Barbatos!"
"What? Barbatos!"
Navia shouted, and even stopped in his tracks, which immediately attracted the attention of Amber and the other two.
Amber showed a puzzled expression: "Huh, what's wrong, Navia? Why did you suddenly call Lord Barbatos's name?"
Furina immediately covered up: "Ah hahaha, nothing, we just thought the wind just now was very comfortable, and we were praising the great Lord Barbatos!"
"That's right, that's right, Lord Barbatos is very great."
"Yes, yes, we absolutely did not mean to discuss Venti!"
Eula and the other two exchanged glances, not understanding why Furina suddenly said such strange things.
If they were going to talk about Lord Barbatos, then just talk about him. Why bring Venti into it?
Venti wasn't stupid; he immediately guessed that they must be discussing him.
However, he remained as calm as an old dog, showing no reaction whatsoever.
"Navia, lower your voice! They can't know about this!"
Navia had only just gained access, so he didn't know the story of the allogene.
After an explanation from Hu Tao and the other, the others roughly understood the reason.
Navia said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, I probably can't accept my god being a drunkard…"
"But, can't a god drink alcohol?" Shenhe asked with a puzzled expression.
Kazuha spread his hands and explained, "Every year during Mondstadt's Windblume Festival, the most beautiful wines are offered to Barbatos. This is a tradition of Mondstadt, so the people of Mondstadt are not unable to accept that Barbatos drinks alcohol, but rather…"
"Rather…"
Everyone looked at Kazuha expectantly, eager to know what his answer was.
