Explorer of Teyvat

Thousand Valleys Sand Land·Old Palace,

The terrifying dragon poked out its head, looked across the endless desert, and landed on the Red Sand headquarters.

"A dragon that has forgotten its hatred, a miserable dragon, a weak dragon..."

As the dragon peeked at Chisha headquarters,

The gorgeous runes on the dragon's body suddenly lit up, turning into endless power to suppress the dragon.

But the giant dragon did not bow down in pain as before, but instead raised its head high,

"I'm not spying on you, Lord of Red Sand." Apep made a dull whisper.

"It seems that you are almost adapting to the [Anti-Element Dragon King Immortal Lu], Apep, your adaptability is really terrible." Wang Daoyi's will came here, with exclamation in his voice.

As the Elemental Dragon King, Apep has adapted from being suppressed by the [Anti-Element Dragon King Immortal Treasure] in less than a year to being able to hold up the [Anti-Element Dragon King Immortal Treasure] and communicate with him.

This kind of adaptability is really terrifying.

In less than a year, he had evolved a weakness.

"If it weren't for this adaptability, I would have perished long ago during the wilderness period." Apep said angrily.

"Oh, I have changed the location of the competition. You can see him tomorrow. Now, Apep, take your eyes back and stop peeking at my people."

"I told you, I didn't spy on you."

"You'd better not."

Leaving a warning behind, Wang Daoyi's will left here.

Apep lowered the dragon's head with difficulty and breathed heavily.

On the huge dragon body hidden under the palace, a series of immortal vessels shimmered, exuding powerful suppressive power, suppressing Apep's power.

He gradually adapted to the [Anti-Element Dragon King Immortal Barrier] without anyone controlling it, but the Immortal Barrel Formation under Wang Daoyi's control could still suppress him.

"Ah, stingy god." Apep adapted to the suppressive power on his body and slowly sank into the palace of the past.

…

Chisha headquarters, in a gorgeous tent,

An alchemical chandelier illuminates the tent in the dark night,

Villette was a little absent-minded,

He felt it, close yet strange, strong yet weak, wanting to get closer but with repulsive eyes.

"Elemental Dragon King..."

There was a hint of disbelief in Villette's eyes,

It was hard for him to imagine that under the rule of two gods,

There is actually an elemental dragon king hiding in Xumi.

what is this? Harboring a fugitive?

A trace of comic absurdity appeared in Navilette's heart.

"It seems that everyone is very dissatisfied with the sky."

Thinking silently in his heart, Villette's eyes followed the prying eyes,

"Is that over there, Qianhe Sand Land? It seems we'll find out tomorrow."

He reached out and pulled the light cord, and the gorgeous tent fell into darkness. He was probably about to sleep.

——

the next day,

The players gathered under the high platform,

Keli, who had been imprisoned by herself, was also released, but she is not here, and for the time being she is still being taken by Nicored.

Everyone formed small groups, chatting under the high platform, waiting for the referees and judges to come over.

"It was all my fault that we didn't score yesterday. We must win today!" Bennett looked full of energy after a night's rest.

The kitten bartender rolled her eyes at him: "Today is a personal battle, stupid Bennett."

The adventurer scratched his head in confusion: "Hey, can't we form a team?"

"Didn't you listen to Miss Nelu yesterday? There is only one point today, and the one who brings it back is the winner."

"I listened, but we have no points. Only Keli has one point. If we want to win, don't we have to cooperate and let Keli get one point and then play a playoff?" Bennett said.

The kitty bartender hesitated. If he wanted to win, he really had to do what Bennett said.

Not far away from them, Kawei came over: "Friends of Mond, let's cooperate."

Bennett: "Huh?"

Kawei looked serious: "I saw it, we are the only one with one point, that is to say, no matter who else scores, we will lose. Only if we cooperate and let one of us score can we have a playoff. "

The kitten bartender looked at Kawei warily: "However, the game is only one point, and only one team can advance if we work together."

"One of you and I can play in a playoff. This 1/2 chance is better than letting the game end in this round!" Kawei looked at the Mondstadt team and said very seriously.

If they work together, the crown will be even greater, and if successful, at least a playoff is guaranteed.

If they don't cooperate, their chances of winning the crown are slim, and both sides are likely to lose in this round.

After thinking for a while, the Mondstadt team reached an agreement with Kawi to cooperate!

the other side,

Ah Mao stood in the shadows and looked at these players with ridicule in his eyes.

If there is only one point, then this point can only be his.

Originally, he was not very interested in winning the championship, but after knowing that this was a large-scale experiment, he wanted to win the championship instead.

He wanted to see if this experiment could continue if he won the championship.

Everyone in the audience was talking a lot, and it wasn't until about eight o'clock that the referee and judges came over.

Elhaysen stood on the high platform: "Everyone, the Lord of Red Sand will send you to the Three Canals. Please relax and don't struggle."

Before everyone could react,

Each faint blue channel is formed.

"Everyone, please go through the ley line channel and go to the final competition location."

Many of the players had used Wang Daoyi's earth channel, and they were all familiar with it, so they all walked in.

Behind the players, Nicolaide hugged Keli and walked in together.

Even if they knew that there was Wang Daoyi's protection, Nicorette and Albedo were unwilling to let Keli enter the earth channel by herself.

…

The land of three canals,

Although Greta only received the message yesterday afternoon, one night was enough for him and his people to build a new activity platform.

"Wow, a new place Keli has never been before!"

After struggling to get down from Nicoreid's arms, the little guy started running around, looking at everything new.

In the source reservoir, a different species of dragon lizard swimming in the reservoir couldn't help but shuddered and felt something bad.

Then he looked around stupidly and continued playing.

This is the place blessed by the god, and it is also protected by the great town spirit. How could anything happen?

Lying on the handrail of the reservoir, Keli looked at the dragon lizards playing in the lake, her eyes shining: "The big lizards with different patterns are so awesome."

Standing behind Keli, Nicolaide raised his eyebrows slightly. Does Keli like the alien dragon lizard? How about catching one for her to play with?

On the other side, Greta greeted everyone: "Everyone, we have prepared the reception area. The canal area of ​​the competition is still blocked. It will not officially start until the afternoon. Please rest first. Of course, you can also stroll around here as you like. Go shopping, the scenery here is quite nice.”

After knowing the resting point, everyone dispersed and started playing in the camp deep in the desert.

Three Canal Land Camp,

Under Apep’s mighty power, the ground was already covered with green grass and surrounded by trees.

It must be said that it is very beautiful to encounter such an oasis in the desert.

Charlotte took her camera and took pictures everywhere.

Ying and Paimon were quite familiar with this place and went straight to the cafeteria. They got up late and didn't have breakfast.

The Mondstadt team and Kavi gathered together to discuss the next cooperation plan.

The Liyue team went separately. The girls went to the cafeteria with Ying. Xingqiu and Chongyun went to see the canal, hoping to get some useful information.

Team Inazuma is also in the cafeteria,

…

Just when everyone was having fun,

In the referee's tent, Villette's inner feelings became clearer and clearer.

There is a dragon, nearby.

Seemingly seeing that Villette was a little uncomfortable, Abedo glanced at him: "Mr. Villette, what's wrong with you?"

After coming back to his senses, Villette shook his head at Albedo: "It's okay, I'm just a little short of breath, and I'll be fine in a while."

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Abedo, and asked: "Mr. Abedo, you seem to be familiar with this place?"

A person's behavior in a familiar environment is completely different from that in an unfamiliar environment.

Villette was certain that Albedo was very familiar with this place.

"Huh? What do you want to ask Mr. Villette? If it is this oasis, I do know a little bit about it." Albedo saw that Villette seemed to have some doubts.

He does know this oasis. After all, he was right next to it when Wang Daoyi and Apep created it.

"Mr. Abedo has noticed that I do have some doubts. As far as I know, the canals in this desert have dried up long ago, let alone the oasis. They should have been destroyed long ago."

As a person in a high position, Navilette knew very well where the water in the reservoir came from. When he asked this question, he was not mainly asking about the canal and water, but about this oasis.

A flash of understanding flashed in Abedo's eyes.

"I see. I think you sensed something, right?"

"You know?"

"Although I don't know much about life at your level yet, there are indeed existences here that can make you uneasy."

Villette's eyes lit up and he looked at Albedo.

But Abedo shook his head: "I can only tell you that the other party is not an enemy. I can't reveal more about the rest."

Abedo will not disclose the existence of Apep, the Dragon of Grass, to the outside world before obtaining the consent of Wang Daoyi and Nasida.

Being able to talk about the position and relationship with Navilite is already for the sake of the envoy of Navilite.

Villette frowned slightly: "Isn't he an enemy...Okay, Mr. Abedo, I'll go out and take a breath."

With that said, Navilette left the camp under Albedo's gaze.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was afternoon.

The players gathered under the high platform,

But the organizer discovered that... there was one less judge.

"What about Judge Villette?" Greta was confused. It's okay to lose a judge, but this judge is also the envoy of Fontaine and the highest judge of Fontaine, so that's a big deal.

Elhaysen also frowned. He had something to do before and went to get the Crown of Knowledge, so he didn't know where Villette had gone.

Abedo showed a hint of helplessness, he probably knew.

Then Villette must have gone to find the Dragon of Grass.

Greta, who was about to send someone to find someone, was suddenly startled. The voice of the Lord of Red Sand appeared in his ears,

"There is no need to look for it. Envoy Villette is temporarily busy. Just play normally."

Not only did Greta get the oracle, but everyone else also heard the voice of Wang Daoyi or Nasida.

So, in peace, the game started again.

Greta waved his hand, and the Void Terminal projected a large map.

"Starting from the reservoir, we closed the fifty-mile canal, and referee Alhaysen hid the Crown of Knowledge in it. Your game is to find the Crown of Knowledge and bring it back. In addition, before scoring, you can Robbed."

Greta announced the game and the rules.

You can scramble before scoring, and I undoubtedly tell everyone that scrambling is encouraged.

"In addition, we have prepared small boats for everyone to facilitate movement on the canal."

Naturally, we cannot let everyone go directly to the competition on the canal. The boats must be prepared.

Fortunately, the Three Canal Land Campground is the source of the canal, so there is no shortage of boats.

"Finally, please pay attention to your safety. We will send the alien dragon lizard to dive deep into the canal. If someone falls into the water and sinks to a certain depth, it will automatically be deemed as giving up the game, and the dragon lizard will pick you up ashore."

This is security,

Although some contestants may gain an advantage by entering the water, in order to ensure that no one drowns here, the organizer has set a certain dangerous depth. Once it is exceeded, dragon lizards swimming at the bottom of the river will come to rescue people. .

…

After explaining the precautions one by one, Greta announced that the game had begun.

The contestants jumped onto the boat one by one, and then rushed out showing off their special skills.

Elemental power is always a better driving force than human power... right?

"Ah ah ah, the thunder element, stop discharging, it's electrocuted ah ah ah ah~"

"Who put the ice? It's blocking the road. It will damage the ship!"

…

For a time, there were many situations on the river.

However, some people rushed out of the encirclement immediately.

Standing on a small boat, the wind wheel surged behind Ah Mao, turning into a sail ship and rushing out of the starting point.

Sano also instigated the thunder element, hit the water surface, and used the recoil to ride away the dust.

It just leaves a large electromagnetic area, which makes it difficult for people to stretch.

As for the others, most of them were stuck at the starting point and could only set off slowly one by one.

…

the other side,

Following the inner feeling,

Navilette came all the way to the underground passage in Qianhe Sand Land,

Then I found the old palace that radiated infinite light.

"I'm here." Navilette looked at the old palace in front of him and said.

He was 100% sure that the existence spying on him was here.

The aura of wilderness spreads,

The terrifying dragon head poked out from the palace,

The huge dragon eyes looked at the 'person' in front of him.

One 'man' and one dragon looked at each other like this, speechless for a long time.

Finally, Villette raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch the giant dragon in front of him.

But the dragon did not agree. Instead, it raised its head and moved away from Villette's fingers.

"...I'm sorry." Villette himself didn't know why he was sorry. Anyway, he could feel that the dragon in front of him was disappointed with him.

"Sorry? Hehehe, fallen dragon, what are you sorry for?" Apep opened his mouth, and his deep voice echoed in the hollow.

"I...I don't know, who are you?" Villette reached out and touched his heart, feeling the throbbing in his heart.

The dragon's beard fluttered in front of Navilette's eyes, and the dragon's head approached him: "Who am I? I am a dragon, I am a remnant of the past, I am the enemy of heaven, and I am the last resister of the dragon clan."

Sing your own name like a chant,

Apep lowered his head sharply, staring at the little 'human' in front of him with his huge dragon eyes: "Then, who are you?"

"I" Navilette wanted to say that he was the supreme judge of Fontaine, but the throbbing in his heart told him that the dragon in front of him did not want to hear this answer.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything and was speechless for a long time.

There was a hint of disappointment in Apep's eyes,

He knew how a 'dragon' among humans could remember to harbor unforgettable hatred.

"You are not even willing to admit your identity, my kind, you can do it yourself."

Leaving behind a sound of disappointment, the terrifying dragon retreated to the old palace.

Villette felt anxious and wanted to rush over to save him.

But the power of the old palace resisted him,

Feeling slightly dazed, he knew that the dragon didn't want to see him.

The throbbing of the heart became more and more obvious, like a knife cutting.

"Is this...a feeling of heartache?"

As the supreme judge of Fontaine, Navilette has seen countless separations between life and death, and has also seen prisoners collapse in the court. Human emotions have shown endless diversity in front of him.

Faced with those emotions, he can easily tell whether the other person is really sad or fake.

But now, facing his own heart, he hesitated.

He couldn't even tell if what he was feeling inside was heartache.

Villette caressed his chest blankly, lost in thought.

outside world,

On the canal, small boats are sailing on the water.

Someone is looking around, looking for the target,

There are also people who look relaxed and treat the competition as a game.

There were even people holding bombs, secretly watching the fish in the canal, and lying on the edge of the boat with a tangled look on their faces.

"Kelly, you can't do that." Fischer looked at Keli warningly. Before the game started, Abedo had repeatedly warned Keli not to let Keli fry fish.

It’s not that the fish in the canal are so precious,

The fish here are all Sumeru fish from the underground river, and they are not precious things.

The main reason is that during the competition, there are dragon lizards following them underwater to prevent them from falling into the water.

At this time, if Keli drops a bomb, it is not certain whether the fish can be blown up, but the dragon lizard can definitely be blown up.

There was a trace of hesitation on her face, but Keli still put away the bouncing bomb.

"Keli knows. Keli promised Brother Abedo not to fry fish during the competition. Keli is just looking for fish. When the competition is over, she can ask Brother Nicolde to take me to fry fish."

The little guy is very smart. If he can’t blow up now, can he still not blow up later?

First find a place with a lot of fish, then make a big splash.

Just as he was saying,

Everyone suddenly looked up together,

"Huh? Is it raining?"

The patter of raindrops fell from the sky,

Not only the players were surprised, but even the red sand people by the canal couldn't help but be shocked.

This is a sandy land with thousands of valleys. It’s good luck not to have a sandstorm, but it actually rains?

Somewhat incredible.
