Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 264 The Watcher A Thousand Years Ago

"So fast?"

Hu Tao only felt the warmth from his body, and then the solid feeling of stepping on the ground. When he opened his eyes again, the surrounding scenery had taken on a new look.

Not far from the two of them was a hole emitting warm yellow light. Hu Tao took a strange look at Famas' waist, and then nodded in understanding.

The God's Eye that Famas used to camouflage shimmered red, while the evil eye hidden at his waist looked dim.

"As the general of Munata, it is normal and reasonable to have a God's Eye of Fire Element."

Famas spread his hands, then patted Hu Tao's little head, and strode towards the light source.

"Humph……"

Hu Tao touched the hexagonal hat on the top of his head, flashed through the shadows like a butterfly, and caught up with Famas in front.

The two gradually stepped into the huge space with strong light.

Famas squinted his eyes a little, and waited for his pupils to adapt to the light before carefully observing the "place where life and death" he had sensed earlier.

He is standing in front of a dead tree trunk, the sky is golden like the afterglow of the setting sun, surrounded by smoke and clouds, mountains are stacked, in front of him is an arch bridge made of bluestone across the banks of the Yun River, and the banks are full of red flowers .

"This is the border."

Hu Tao took a long breath, and began to look around, as if searching for something.

Although he knew that the fat old man he was looking forward to would not be here, every time he returned to the border, Hu Tao would subconsciously look around.

"Over there is the sea of ​​flowers on the other side."

"From the place where the earth veins are disordered, walk up to Huangquan Road, and walk all the way, you will see a sea of ​​red flowers."

"The weather here is always at dusk. In the sea of ​​flowers on the other side is the road to life. If you pass through the sea of ​​flowers and reach the intersection at the end, and cross over, you will be reborn."

Hu Tao tried her best to smile, but couldn't hide her disappointed expression.

"Is this the place of the dead?"

Famas gently pressed his palm on the dead ancient tree, quietly feeling the surge from the ground.

In the Munata he is in charge of, death is not terrible, whether it is the old grass god who can directly fish for the soul of the dead from the veins, or the gold that uses alchemy to reshape the body, or even the half-human and half-mechanical combat soldiers.

The Fire Nation has countless ways to heal and resurrect wounded and dead soldiers.

Naturally, there is no place where life and death meet in Munata. Only the souls burned out in battle cannot be resurrected.

What he had seen and heard along the way did give Famas a new idea.

"The existence of the border is not a secret, but it is not suitable to announce it to the world."

"It's okay for people with the eyes of gods. If ordinary people don't have magic skills, they will have problems if they stay here for a long time."

"Even if it is a spirit body, it cannot stay here for a long time, otherwise it will lose its memory and become confused."

A breeze from nowhere blows the stamens in Yunhai, and the buds near Famas have already bloomed, and the red cluster flowers are blooming bright red.

"Those soldiers, who are also people who have been stationed at the border for a long time, have to find a way to let them rest in peace."

"So you and Zhongli found me?"

Famas and Hutao moved forward all the way, bypassing the ancient trees that supported the heaven and earth.

"Cough... You're from Munata, so you probably don't know very well. In the beginning, the Hall of Rebirth was not doing funerals, but a job like a doctor."

Walnut put her hands behind her back and kicked forward.

"During the War of the Demon Gods, corpses littered the fields, lives were devastated, infectious diseases spread everywhere, and death crazily engulfed the world of the living."

"At that time, the Hall of Rebirth was born. As an insignificant human being, it took a long time to drive the plague back."

Hu Tao's plum-blossom eyes dimmed, as if thinking of those lives lost due to illness.

Famas clenched his fist, then let it go.

As far as he knew, Liyue was once infected by the plague, and Morax and Guishang had managed to control the spread of the plague and the curse with their powerful divine power, and survived the extremely cruel war of demon gods.

"After a long time, Liyue Port was prosperous and prosperous, and everyone was chasing fame and Mora. In the end, the crazy people touched the legacy of death."

"The residue of the demon god is raging in the world, so I won't mention the specifics. In short, it is self-destruction born to the extreme, and it is also a backlash that dies at the end."

"After that, it took a long, long time, the balance was restored, and the boundaries were drawn. Only then did you see Liyue Port, Xiangshengtang...and me."

Hu Tao's eyes blurred, and he began to wander.

"It turns out that Hall Master Hu, who is idle, can tell such a serious story."

Famas crossed his arms, looked at some illusory spirits on the side of the road, and then looked at the girl beside him jokingly.

"Tch, these are the things that the old hall master likes to babble about most, I think I can talk about them better than all of them."

"It's fine if you don't understand, the Xiangshengtang is in the funeral business, that's all."

Hu Tao puffed up her cheeks in frustration, and took a deep breath.

"It's almost time, come with me, and take you to the place where the flames burn!"

Hearing another new vocabulary, Famas asked curiously: "What is that place?"

"It's the place where the Munata soldiers are stranded! Names I can think of, don't ask every word, okay!"

Hu Tao led the way, reaching out from time to time to pick off the red flowers blooming in the sea of ​​clouds, and put them in his pocket.

These red cluster flowers only grow in the place where life and death meet. After being taken from the rhizomes, they are air-dried, painted, oiled, drawn with skillful brushes, and then dried in the sun for three days. They can be made into exquisite ornaments that can be preserved for a long time.

The tentacles are like soft mist, and it smells faintly fragrant.

Led by Hu Tao, the two stepped onto a suspension bridge that spanned the sea of ​​clouds and had no end in sight.

The twilight light gradually disappeared, replaced by dark gray clouds, filling the sky, and the towering stone pillars in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds stood still like strong pine trees, with an aura that pierced through the universe.

An illusory male figure in tattered armor was standing in the middle of the bridge, frowning at the surging clouds and mist under the bridge.

The short pale wolf-tailed hair was scattered loosely on the wrinkled inner robe painted with exotic patterns.There are faint traces of repair under the deep color, with a bit of ancient charm, it seems that it has been out of touch with the times for a long time, but it is gentle and long-lasting.

Those gray-white pupils were exceptionally shining, and above the pupils, a pair of sharp horns stood proudly. Unfortunately, a large part of the left branch of the horns was cut off.

What's even more frightening is that there is a huge scar on the left face of this resolute man.

Nut and Farmas walked through the fog and came to the man.

And the man on the bridge also noticed the two of them, raised his head calmly, stared at the person coming from a distance, and waited for them to approach with a bright expression.
