Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

But the originally expected sound of the collision of sharp weapons did not appear. Instead, there was the sound of the blade tearing vertically and horizontally between flesh and blood.

Just one knife cut off half of the Beastland Hound's body.

The monster fell to the ground and twitched, unable to get up again.

Lin Jinnian placed the sword at his side and waved it gently, and the blood stained on it was instantly thrown away. The blade was still bright and flawless, emitting a soul-stirring cold light.

Cutting flesh like clay, it is worthy of being a sword forged by the Five Legends of Thunder. The quality is not generally good. Even if it is faced with the minions of the beast-realm hound, there will be no curling of the blade at all.

He turned around and saw that Ying's efficiency in cleaning up the monsters was not much slower than his own. With a thought, he sped up the speed of swinging the knife in his hand.

The speed of the action is dazzling.

The sword is almost a shadow. If you don't look carefully, you can only find a silver-white sword light passing through the air.

Wherever the sword light struck, beast-land hounds fell to the ground like kites with broken strings.

After Lin Jinnian finished dealing with the monsters on his side, he didn't hesitate at all. He raised his knife and stared at Ying's area again.

With the combined efforts of the two, the number of hounds in the beast realm decreased rapidly, which also led to a great reduction in pressure on the shogunate army.

When they saw such powerful two people helping to clean up the monsters, they knew that reinforcements were coming, and their low morale suddenly revived.

The non-commissioned officers also began to organize a counterattack.

The reversal of form only occurred in an instant, and it didn't take long for the area to be cleared of monsters.

"call……"

After dealing with it, Ying had time to wipe the sweat from her forehead. It took a lot of effort to deal with these beast-land hounds.

However, when she turned around to look at Lin Jinnian, she was stunned by the sight in front of her.

Ying mostly uses thunder elements to destroy monsters and directly turn them into ashes, so the battlefield is relatively clean.

But Lin Jinnian's place was different, it could even be said to be a mess.

The ground was covered with blood and broken limbs of monsters, and mountains of dead monsters were everywhere.

This somewhat "terrible" scene made Yingdai stunned for half a second.

Although it is more visually impactful, it seems that Lin Jinnian is more powerful...

But Ying still pinched her nose and made a sound of disgust.

"Eh...it smells so bad."

Lin Jinnian rolled his eyes at her.

"You're not much better."

"Much better than you, hum."

"Just go back and take a shower."

After seeing that the two of them were finished, Paimon flew to their side, but she also subconsciously chose to get closer to Ying and stay away from Lin Jinnian.

"Hey hehe... You are so awesome. Now you have finished cleaning up these puppies, right?"

"I've calculated it, and the reward is quite a lot! If we add a few other locations...the earned amount will be enough for us to go to Wuyouting many times!"

"Paimon, you... think about eating every day."

Ying is very disdainful of this.

Who is Wu Youting...can he compare to Lin Jinnian's cooking?Really unambitious...angry?

Eh... No, why did I think of that guy?

Chapter 212 Walking with the Shadow

Just when Ying was troubled by the inexplicable thoughts that came to his mind, a non-commissioned officer bravely came to them and asked respectfully.

"Hello! May I ask who you are..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to see something. His eyes widened, he pointed behind Lin Jinnian and shouted loudly.

"My lord! Be careful!"

A beastly hound with one missing leg appeared from behind. It was probably the fish that had slipped through the net and been buried in the pile of debris just now.

This monster had been hiding behind him since just now, slowly approaching, and then when it thought the time was right, it suddenly pounced towards Lin Jinnian.

Ying and Paimon just turned their heads, but they only saw a sword light passing by.

brush!

The hound that was still flying in the air was cut in half with a sword in an instant, and the bodies were scattered beside it.

Lin Jinnian just said it nonchalantly.

"No problem."

He didn't even look back.

"..."

Ying, Paimon, and the sergeant were speechless at the same time.

The latter two were shocked, but Ying just felt:

Lin Jinnian is so good at pretending...is this intentional?

Damn it, one day she will be like this!

Just when Ying was secretly complaining, Lin Jinnian was already explaining the relevant matters to the sergeants, arranging for them to go back to rest and deal with the wounded.

In the past, all these things were done by Ying, but now she doesn't need to step forward.

Maybe this matter has the benefit of Lin Jinnian being around, which is really good.

After all the shogunate troops went to clean up the scene, Ying took out the map again and prepared to go to the next location.

Lin Jinnian interrupted her.

"We might as well split up."

"There are a huge number of hounds in the Beast Realm. We have to deal with them one by one. I don't know how long it will take."

Lin Jinnian pointed at the densely marked points on the map and said.

"With your and my abilities, it shouldn't be a problem to clean up an area alone."

"And... if we delay for a long time, many shogunate troops may not be able to support us."

The tragic scene just now is obvious to all. Ordinary soldiers are no match for the beast-land hounds. If they had arrived more than ten minutes later, this group of people might have been wiped out.

"So I suggest we work separately."

Ying thought about it and felt that what Lin Jinnian said made sense, so she simply agreed.

"Okay, then you have to be careful."

She handed another map to Lin Jinnian.

"Paimon, it's time for us to go."

"okay."

So they separated.

……

Not long after, Lin Jinnian came to another sacred cherry tree root system.

No shogunate troops arrived here, so the beast-land hounds kept attacking the roots.

The skin of the tree roots has been scratched, and the blue sap inside flows out.

Lin Jinnian raised his sword and killed several monsters surrounding the tree trunk.

While cleaning the area in front of me, I thought to myself.

Strange, shouldn't the Kage or the general take action for such a big thing as Shen Ying's attack?

Why are they still staying in the castle tower?

"No thoughts, cut off!"

Soon enough, just when Lin Jinnian thought of them, a dazzling lightning flashed from behind him.

The remaining magical beasts in the surrounding area were instantly cleared away, and not even ashes were left.

Lin Jinnian could tell from the tone of those four words that she was a shadow.

But why did the shadow come out?That matter about the general...

Seeing Ying walking towards him calmly, Lin Jinnian couldn't tell for a moment whether the puppet general didn't eat the dessert or whether he had eaten it and disposed of it without being exposed.

However, he is more willing to believe the latter.

"Shadow? Why are you here?"

Ying put away the long knife and said.

"The words you said last time made me understand the truth that I didn't understand before."

"So I occasionally come out and look around...to get some insights about [eternity]."

As if to defend himself, Ying added another sentence.

"...Let me reiterate, this is not a pastime."

"Ok, I know."

Seeing that Lin Jinnian really didn't think so, Ying continued.

"Recently, I have observed many changes in the outside world from the Pure Land of One Heart. The most serious one is the attack on the sacred cherry tree by the hounds in the beast realm."

"So you noticed it. Did you find anything special?"

"Well, before I met you, I also met many samurai who died 500 years ago, and their memories left in the land became physical."

Even without Ying's explanation, Lin Jinnian could probably understand.

Those are entities similar to Huasanli formed because the hounds attacked the roots of Shenying and the filth leaked from the cracks.

"They fought to the last moment to protect Inazuma..."

Speaking of this, Ying's mood couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"What they said brought back memories of that past disaster."

500 years ago, Inazuma experienced a huge disaster.

The land was shrouded in dark fog, and monsters were rampant... This disaster claimed countless lives, and the homes that people had worked so hard to build were almost destroyed.

Monsters have committed many atrocities in Inazuma's land.And this kind of beast-land hound has always been the first enemy of the demonic group.

Their duty is to use their sharp claws to tear open the space passage and summon more powerful monsters.

At that time, Ina Wife was facing multiple crises.

Hu Zhai Palace told Ying that she would use all the power around her to take on the responsibility of guarding Dao's wife and eliminate Ying's worries.

But in the end, Huzhai Palace sacrificed his life to protect the people.

Ying didn't get to see Hu Zhai Palace for the last time.But she wanted to believe that Huzhai Palace had fulfilled its promise to her until the last moment.

"Are these...the "losts" you mentioned before in One Heart Pure Land? "

"……Um."

Shadow nodded.

"I only have the strength to fight. Even if I can cut off the gods and destroy the monsters, I will never be able to defeat time and leave behind those I cherish."

"film……"

Lin Jinnian was about to say something comforting, but Ying cheered up on his own.

"However, after what I saw and heard while walking with you a few days ago, I have thought a lot."

“After my confrontation with human ‘wishes’, I realized that my gaze could not remain in the past forever. "

"Everything will change eventually..."
