"Geovishap, use Hydro-infused Breath!"
"Pyro Regisvine, use Fireball Spray!"
Yu Jin stood atop the Geovishap's head, pointing at a high ground and shouting. That was precisely where the Harbingers stood, and Yu Jin had long been annoyed by them.
Standing so high, one by one, be careful not to fall to your death.
Upon hearing this, the Geovishap's four limbs deeply embedded into the ground, absorbing the flowing Hydro element from the ley lines into its body. This caused the rocky scales on its body to be stained with streaks of hydro-blue patterns.
"Hiss!" The Hydro element absorbed by the Geovishap converged and compressed, eventually being spewed out of its body, forming a blue-white breath.
The Pyro Regisvine was not to be outdone; its main trunk stood upright, and its fiery red corolla fully opened!
A large amount of Pyro element condensed around it, then formed one fireball after another. These fireballs struck first, hitting the high ground even before the Geovishap's breath.
"This is our thrilling combo skill!" Yu Jin roared from the Geovishap's head, speaking the lines for the mute Geovishap and Pyro Regisvine.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Dull sounds of element explosions rang out on the high ground. The intense explosions caused by the fireballs set the entire high ground ablaze.
Then, the breath, though late, arrived. The Hydro-infused breath met the blazing high ground, increasing its power even more!
"Boom!" The distant high ground was directly and completely destroyed by the Geovishap and Pyro Regisvine! After the dust and smoke cleared, only a massive gaping hole remained, indicating that a piece of land had indeed been there.
"Cough... cough cough! What powerful creatures, I'm becoming more and more interested!" From within a cloud of smoke, a young and excited voice emerged. Following that were several blue arrows, flying straight towards Yu Jin and Yelan's faces.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Yelan nocked and drew her bow, and an equal number of Breaking Arrows flew out, completely nullifying the thick Hydro element arrows in the air.
"You want to be my opponent?" From within the dust, a young man with short orange hair and a red scarf walked out.
"My pleasure!" Yelan showed no fear. Childe, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui? She would test his strength!
"Tsk, you've found an opponent for yourself?" Dottore also emerged from a pile of dust, patting his coat.
He always looked down on such physical labor. But for funding, he could reluctantly make an exception.
"But it's not bad, I just wanted to try with you." Dottore looked at Yu Jin, purple lightning flashing around him.
This Delusion, this slice, was Electro element.
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense. Yelan gripped the Aqua Simulacra in her hand, feeling a faint sense of excitement.
Ultimately, she and Childe had something in common. She liked to make her life eventful with danger and achievements; while Childe sought eternal combat and absolute martial arts!
"Who wants to duel you guys? Brothers, attack!" Yu Jin directly broke the tension. Yelan probably didn't know how satisfying a righteous group beatdown was.
Thinking of dueling these Harbingers? Dueling? Dueling my ass!
"Shoot! Shoot!" Yu Jin roared in Hilichurlian, and then the Hilichurl Shooters behind the Geovishap began firing together.
Not only that, the ordinary Hilichurls in the phalanx also threw out a large number of Electro and Pyro Slimes, and the Mitachurls also activated their element armor.
"A trivial..." Childe was about to mock something when he suddenly found a giant wind vortex forming around him, making it impossible for him to move!
But this was not difficult; blocking arrows was something he had done many times!
Childe transformed his bow into blades, dual blades dancing. With every swing, an arrow fell to the ground.
However, due to the sheer number of arrows, a few eventually got through. Electro arrows and Cryo arrows attacked Childe in a crossfire.
Although these were just minor injuries he didn't need to care about, the intertwined Cryo and Electro elements quickly solidified his skin, which was not a pleasant sensation.
What's more, Slimes occasionally exploded beside him, and the dense element residue made his breathing somewhat difficult.
It seems I need to move, Childe looked at the swirling wind around him and smiled. If they thought this could trap a Harbinger, then they underestimated them too much.
Water ripples began to appear under Childe's feet. He, along with the ripples, transformed into a water phantom, quickly moving out of the wind vortex.
Then, with a "Thump!" Childe crashed into a wall. He reappeared from the water phantom. Looking up, he found himself surrounded by three layers of rock pillars inside and out.
The Geo Samachurls had made their move.
Then several huge shadows enveloped him. Before Childe could react, he was hammered into the ground.
Frostarm Mitachurl, Mountain Press x4!
The combined strength of four Mitachurls was enough to make the earth tremble. They tore through the rock pillars and smashed onto Childe with an unstoppable momentum.
However, this attack clearly couldn't kill Childe. A huge bubble rose from the shattered ground, blasting the four Mitachurls away.
"Cough... cough! Very good tactics, but this is the end..." Childe looked at Yu Jin, who was riding a Vishap and chasing Dottore, and felt his blood suddenly surge in reverse.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Even he, after taking a direct hit from four Mitachurls' ground slams, couldn't be completely unharmed.
But he presumed those Mitachurls were probably in dire straits too. The power he unleashed with his Delusion was not so easy to withstand.
But he was quickly disappointed again. A series of healing rains fell from the Sky. The Mitachurls' injuries began to heal visibly.
Childe looked at the Samachurls in the distance, heavily protected. They were dancing, chanting unknown incantations, and mocking him.
Everything about them began to irritate Childe.
"Hahahaha, laughing so happily, then all of you can just die!" Influenced by the Delusion, Childe became easily enraged.
He channeled his power, transforming into a purple lightning bolt and charging towards the battle formation. The Shield Mitachurls and Geo Mitachurls within the formation were also ready.
"You seem to have forgotten about me?" A slightly mocking female voice rang out. Childe was then surprised to find that he had already been entangled by the String of Fate.
Yelan pulled with force at Childe's waist, causing him to stumble and, with that immense force, directly charge into a rock wall.
"Zzzzz—" A piercing thunderous roar vibrated. Purple lightning danced on the rock wall, charring it black.
The spot where Childe hit the rock wall was even more riddled with holes, countless cracks spreading from it, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"Damn it!" Childe pulled his weapon from the rock wall. He had never been so frustrated! Every one of his attacks felt like it hit cotton, causing no DMG.
He had originally thought he could fight two strong opponents here. But now, apart from frustration, he had gained nothing.
Yelan looked at Childe in the distance, still not letting down her guard. She wouldn't be naive enough to think a Harbinger would be defeated like this.
The power Childe had just displayed alone was enough for Yelan to add him to her secret intelligence dossier.
[It's coming!] Yelan saw Childe attacking again from a distance and paid utmost attention. This was no longer a sneak attack, but a direct frontal confrontation.
But at this moment, the earth trembled, and pillars of fire erupted from the ground, once again interrupting Childe's momentum.
The Pyro Regisvine had arrived. It emerged from the ground and came to Yelan's side.
Childe, who had been blasted away by the pillars of fire, stood up and wiped his face, which had been scorched by the flames.
He looked into the distance and saw the orderly Hilichurl battle formation; he saw the Pyro Regisvine with its corolla open; and he saw Yelan, filled with Hydro element, beside him.
"Pfft—" Childe's breath, held for a long time, instantly dissipated. His aura deflated. The accumulated injuries erupted, and a mouthful of old blood gushed from his mouth.
"Damn it! I'm not fighting anymore!"
