The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 276: The thief must leave!

"Come on!"

"Don't let them get away!"

"Chase!"

"I'll cut off the queen!"

"what!"

On the west side of Bayun Island, on the coast far away from Wuming Fort, two groups of people were chasing and fleeing, both trying their best.

The people fleeing in front were dressed in various styles. Some had gray hair and looked like an accountant. Some had a sweat towel on their heads and looked like a waiter in a restaurant. There was also a young man with a dull expression who just ran with his head down.

The people chasing behind were both men and women, wearing black clothes and covering their faces. On an inconspicuous place on their robes was the emblem of the community magistrate Kamisato family, as if they were afraid of being recognized, but also afraid of not being recognized.

“Stop, stop! Whoosh—”

There was an exceptionally petite figure among the men in black, with a noticeable long tail, who was shouting and trying to catch up, but his voice was weak, and not only did it sound non-threatening, it even made people feel a little contemptuous.

But the people who were fleeing did not think so. When they heard the frail little girl's cry, many of them changed their expressions slightly and tried their best to speed up their steps.

The little girl in black looks like a useless person, but she has the Eye of God, is incredibly powerful when she moves, and has mastered an unexpected way of traveling: curling her body into a ball and using the wind element to turn it into a wind wheel.

Every time the wind wheel whistled, the obstacles such as gravel and wooden beams that they had placed on the road with great difficulty lost their effect. The gravel flew everywhere and the wooden beams were split into two pieces by the little girl with her sword.

Fortunately, some of them were able to stop the unreasonable Fenglun girl, and fortunately, the pursuers intended to capture them alive, otherwise they would not have been able to escape all the way to Bayun Island and would have been caught in the White Fox Wilderness.

The middle-aged accountant panted, looked back at the little girl who had transformed into a wind wheel again, gritted his teeth, and turned his gaze to the golden figure who had been protecting them all the way: "Master Traveler! I'm counting on you!"

He shouted, and was about to stop, turning around and rushing towards the wind wheel that was almost taking shape - the little girl seemed unwilling to hurt them, and this life-threatening method could somewhat hinder the pursuers' progress.

But before he could realize what he wanted, he saw the dull young man beside him stop and turn around without saying a word, then pounce towards Fenglun.

"go!"

The dull young man shouted and rushed straight towards the wind wheel.

Zaoyou quickly dispersed the wind wheel and swung its big tail, hitting the dull young man in the face.

"boom!"

The dull young man was knocked flying, rolled twice on the ground, and fainted quietly.

"call--"

Zaoyou's steps stopped and her body swayed because of the collision. She finally managed to stabilize herself. Her face looked bitter under the black scarf: "Oh, this job is so troublesome. Zaoyou wants to sleep so much!"

She is in the period of growth. If she doesn't get enough sleep, what will happen if she stops growing?
The little girl sighed again, then turned to look at her companions who had stepped forward quickly, pulled out a rope, and tied up the dull young man tightly, but refused to chase him. Her face became more and more distressed, "Why did you stop too?"

If we keep chasing and stopping like this, when will we be able to catch all the people?

The men in black looked at each other, then smiled awkwardly. Someone stepped forward and explained in a low voice, "This is not... None of us can beat the traveler. Only Zaoyou can stop her."

"How can I stop it?"

When Zaoyou heard this, she glared and muttered, with a bit of grievance in her tone: "The head of the family also told me to be careful not to hurt the traveler, but I can't beat her at all... I should be careful not to get hurt at her hands."

The other men in black smiled awkwardly and no one said a word.

The final mission was to capture the thieves from Kaigi Island. They originally thought it was a sure thing. Even though the order was a little strange, it should not be difficult for them.

But when it came to actually carrying it out, I realized that not only were the commands for this mission weird, but it was also very difficult to execute.

The head of the family had instructed that Lady Traveler must not be harmed, but even if all of them combined put their full strength together they could not defeat her, not to mention their current timidity.

Fortunately, there were many burdens around the traveler. Although Zaoyou was defeated, he was able to delay the traveler for a while, allowing them to free their hands to deal with the thieves from Kaigi Island.

But they did not dare to let Zaoyou delay for too long, and retreated hastily after only three or two minutes. Otherwise, if the time was too long, the Traveler would have dealt with Zaoyou, and they would not be able to hold on for a few more seconds, and the mission would have failed.

They had no choice but to keep chasing and harassing them, like hyenas chasing a pride of lions, and attacking the lion cubs when the lion king was not prepared. When the lion king stopped and prepared to deal with them, they scattered, avoiding the sharp edge while continuing to target the lion cubs.

The means were a bit despicable, but fortunately, I had done a lot of dirty work in the final episode, so I was used to it.

"How many bandits are left on Kaigi Island?"

Zaoyou rubbed his cheeks, arranged for someone to take the dull young man back, then cheered up and led a group of members of the final group to continue chasing.

"There are still seven. The head of the family said that there can be no more than two."

"Have the ambushers on the coast arrived?"

"We have already arrived. We have made all the arrangements in advance. When we see the traveler and his party, we will pretend to have just arrived and destroy the prepared boats, leaving only a small boat that can accommodate three or four people."

"Let's go, finish the task quickly, I want to have a good sleep!"

……

"Thieves, please leave!"

"Burn the boat! Stop them, reinforcements will be here soon!"

"stop!"

There were shouts and yells, followed by the sounds of fistfights and cries of pain.

The secret agents of Kaigi Island struggled to hold on, and the ordinary members of the final show also struggled to hold on.

The former was suppressed by the latter and received a good beating; the latter was suppressed by Ying and was also beaten black and blue.

The little mascot stood close to Ying, trying to glare at these "ambushes" with his eyes, cheering Ying on from time to time, or shouting words like "take my punch" and "I'll throw stones at you" in an attempt to threaten her.

The members of the final group had a lot of grievances, so they simply sent a few people to destroy the ship, while the rest of them just focused on attacking the secret agents of Kaigi Island. If they were knocked down by Ying, they would consider it as a mission accomplished and leave early.

"They are going to destroy the ship! Mr. Traveler, protect the ship!"

The waiter was beaten and looked towards the boat dock. He was shocked and shouted in panic: "Don't worry about us, we are full... ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, a member of the Final Ban saw the opportunity and punched him in the face, causing him to groan.

"Hold on!"

Ying kicked down the member of the Final Division who was blocking her way, glanced at the situation, and without hesitation, she pointed her toes, controlled the wind element and soared into the air, quickly flying towards the ship, making a whistling sound.

The members of the Final Division who had set the fire and tried to damage the ship with swords heard the noise, but did not look up. They just silently quickened their movements and finally completed the final task before Ying arrived and knocked them out with a sword sheath.

Where did these guys come from, and why are they fighting so hard...Ying's eyes twitched, and she guided the wind element to form a whirlwind, first drawing water vapor from the sea, and then using this moist wind to blow out the flames.

At this time, of the many boats that were originally docked safely, only one small boat with burn marks was left, which looked like it could barely accommodate three people.

Ying sighed, turned around and raised his sword. As he moved, the sword stretched out like a snake and accurately hit the heads of the members of the Final Division. Soon, they were all sent to sleep. "They are there!"

"on!"

"Don't let them get away!"

The injured Haiqi Island secret agents had not yet breathed a sigh of relief when they heard shouting. Looking up, they saw the Fenglun girl leading her men rushing towards them.

"Come on!"

"They can't catch up with us once we're on board!"

"It's broken! The ship is destroyed!"

"There is one more that works!"

The secret agents of Kaigi Island looked at each other and did not waste time with heated discussions. Six of them took a step back tacitly, facing Ying and with their backs to the pursuers from the final battle.

"Mr. Traveler."

The waiter had a bruise on his face and bowed solemnly to Ying: "Please take Uncle Pingchuan back to Haiji Island and tell Master Coral Palace the news. We will be grateful!"

The other five people saluted together and said in a deep voice: "We are very grateful!"

The middle-aged accountant, or Uncle Pingchuan as the waiter called him, panicked and waved his hands: "You! What are you doing!"

"Uncle Pingchuan, you have the most experience among us and know the most. It is most appropriate for you to go back with the traveler."

The waiter smiled and didn't give Pingchuan a chance to refuse: "We will buy you a little more time, but it won't be much, don't be disgusted. Brothers, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the six people turned around, picked up the weapons of the fallen members of the Final Ban, or picked up a stone, and rushed towards the members of the Final Ban who were chasing them while shouting.

"Let's go, don't let their efforts go to waste."

Ying pursed her lips, sighed, and advised Pingchuan.

She was not too worried about these hidden lines. The shogunate or the Kage wanted to conquer Kaigi Island. These people were all talents under the command of the Coral Palace Xinhai. They had never done anything evil, nor were they radical war advocates on Kaigi Island. Inazuma was short of talent now, so she would naturally not harm them.

As for how to conquer them...when Kaigi Island returns and Coral Palace Xinhai joins the shogunate, they will naturally become the shogunate's people.

"boom!"

Zaoyou knocked out the last secret agent, stood on the shore, tiptoed and looked at the departing ship. After thinking for a while, he arranged for the rest of the people to shoot a dozen arrows that could only hit the stern of the ship, and then watched the ship go away.

"Phew, it's finally over."

Zaoyou let out a long breath, watching the secret agents of Haiji Island being tied up and taken away, then turned his head and looked at the bushes with sparse trees not far from the coast: "Master, do you have any other missions next?"

"Heh, it turns out that I can't hide it from Xiao Zaoyou."

Kamisato Ayato walked out of the bushes, brushed off her sleeves, looked at Zaoyou who asked "Are there any more missions" but was actually about to write "I don't want to work" on her face, and said gently: "Well done, you've worked hard. Well, you can rest for a few days before the end of the show."

"Great!"

Zaoyou cheered.

His happy look was very contagious, and Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but smile. Then, looking at the unconscious Sumoban lying on the ground, his smile faded and he sighed, "This sir is actually so strong."

Although these people did not have the Eye of God, they were all experts. However, they were easily knocked down by the Lord Traveler and could not even put up a basic resistance.

"Yes, very strong."

Zaoyou nodded seriously, "I can feel that after she found out that I was the only one with the God's Eye among the pursuers, she deliberately controlled her strength and didn't knock me down at once... That's why we can maintain this pursuit method."

In the face of absolute strength, no matter what the hyena tactics are or anything else, they will not be of any use.

"It's amazing."

Kamisato Ayato sighed and then shook his head.

Originally, I had warned them not to hurt Lord Traveler, but now it seems that they should be thankful that Lord Traveler didn't use too much force.

……

"Finally escaped."

Pingchuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignored the arrow stuck in the stern, and sat down in the cabin, looking confused, sad and angry: "There must be a traitor among us! Otherwise, there is no reason for the shogunate to know all our information!"

These secret agents had been lurking on Narukami Island for a long time, and had never made any major mistakes or been caught on a large scale. But this time, the shogunate seemed to have known the location of all of them, and acted quickly, leaving most of the brothers without even a chance to react, let alone escape.

So there must be a traitor who betrayed them!

And this traitor must be of a very high status!
Pingchuan gritted his teeth and cursed the traitor in his heart more than eight hundred times.

"It doesn't have to be a ghost."

Ying shook her head. Under Pingchuan's puzzled gaze, she raised her hand and pointed upwards, saying, "This is Inazuma. If the gods are willing, nothing can be hidden from their eyes."

If he continued to think about it, the target of suspicion might be directly locked on Linghua. Ying thought about it and simply threw out a more shocking guess to interrupt Pingchuan's thoughts.

"This this……"

Pingchuan was indeed frightened and his face turned pale. It took him a long while to remember that if the gods had attacked him directly, he would have died long ago, let alone escape. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, his expression extremely complicated.

“Oh my God…”

He sighed, then cheered up, repeating in his mind over and over again the news that his group had finally obtained - it was this news that led to the shogunate's relentless pursuit of him.

But it was a blessing in disguise. After receiving the news, they set off immediately and just happened to avoid the shogunate's precise targeted encirclement and suppression.

As long as the message is brought back, the gods of Kaigi Island will have a chance to come back!

Pingchuan was excited. He looked at Ying who was whispering with his partner, whose name seemed to be Paimon. Regardless of his injuries, he struggled to stand up and knelt down to Ying solemnly. "Thank you for your help, Mr. Traveler! I will report the truth to Mr. Coral Palace. Haigi Island will never forget your kindness!"

Ying quickly dodged to the side: "This... don't be so polite, Mr. Pingchuan, please get up."

"You saved me and Haige Island. You are our great benefactor. You deserve it!"

Pingchuan finished his greetings with great perseverance and was about to say something when several nervous shouts were heard from outside the boat.

"Who are you? Come out quickly! Otherwise we will be rude to you!"

Pingchuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately leaned close to the window, holding the dagger tightly, and looked out nervously. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, stood up and bowed to Ying: "Master Traveler, you are from our resistance army. I will go out to say hello and identify myself."

The rebels? There are rebels here?
Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, didn't say much, and nodded to Pingchuan.

Pingchuan walked out of the cabin, holding onto the boat and steadying himself at the stern, he looked at the familiar figure among the resistance soldiers coming on the boat, and scolded with a smile: "Zheping! It's me, Pingchuan! You little brat, don't you even recognize me?"
