Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 My Archery Skills, Learned from Amber

Ryan drove the carriage out of the city, startling countless pigeons along the way.

Unlike the takeout food delivered to the Fatui, the items in the white carriage and truck are all food that can be preserved for a long time.

The bag is sealed, wrapped with cloth and secured with ropes.

Even if you are galloping on a bumpy road, you don't need to worry about the bumps causing damage to the packaging and spillage of food.

The takeaway from Springvale was ordered yesterday when the fresh meat and vegetables were delivered.

Request delivery within two days.

The takeaway from Dawn Winery was ordered a day ago by the convoy that was transporting wine to the "Angel's Share" tavern in Mondstadt.

Request delivery within one week.

It happened to be on the way, so Ryan sent both together.

Turn right onto the carriage.

A cool breeze blows over the jewel-blue Starfell Lake.

The trees and grass on both sides of the road are full of natural fragrance.

The towering and huge city of Mondstadt has always been in Ryan's sight, standing in the center of the Starfell Lake.

Sitting in the carriage, holding the reins, directing two tall horses.

A piece of Fisherman's Toast from Deer Hunter, a piece of Mondstadt Grilled Fish, and a bowl of Mint Jelly were his simple lunch.

The clouds in the distance looked like mountains, and the sun was setting in the west from high above, casting an orange-red light over the earth.

Along the way, there were not many pedestrians or carriages, and the whole place felt desolate.

Ryan arrived at the first three-way intersection on the takeaway route.

On the road ahead, there were traces of the battle left by the Knights of Favonius when they recently cleared out the Hilichurls.

He became alert.

According to Amber, the Hilichurls are endless. After they are cleared out, they will quickly pop up like weeds, reoccupy the main traffic routes and attack pedestrians.

Be especially careful in several places.

This place is a specially marked location.

He took out the edgeless sword from his backpack and placed it beside him.

Set up the crossbow, load the arrows, pull the bowstring, and hold the hanging knife.

Ryan looked at the abandoned truck in the haystack, which might be hiding the Hilichurls.

Listening carefully, you can hear the faint sounds coming from beneath the sound of horse hooves.

"Sure enough!" A red-haired Hilichurl was squatting on the ground, digging something with his head down.

"La!"

The Hilichurl suddenly looked up at the carriage.

"Ya!" (Human)

With a shout, a few more Hilichurls appeared from the surroundings.

"One, two, three... four!"

"Two torch-bearing Hilichurls, one round-shield Hilichurl, and one stick-bearing Hilichurl."

Ryan's eyes were as fast as lightning, and he held his breath and concentrated.

The crossbows were aimed at the charging torch-bearing Hilichurls holding burning clubs, with Pyro elements rampant, who posed the greatest threat to the cargo.

"Right!"

An arrow was shot and arrived in an instant.

The crossbow arrow, so fast that it was invisible, pierced through the muscular and strong body of the Torch Hilichurl with great force.

Retreat with the corpse and nail it to the ground.

The burning torch was thrown into the air and fell to the side, splashing out bright yellow flames.

"Left!"

Ryan turned the crossbow and aimed it at the second torch-bearing Hilichurl who was almost close to him.

The Torch Hilichurl's dodging ability and running speed are unique among many Hilichurls.

But no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than the prepared crossbow arrow.

"Swoosh!" The sound of breaking through the air carried with it deadly murderous intent.

The dynamic vision brought by physical evolution and the high-speed processing brain allow Ryan to hit the target every time facing the enemy at this distance.

In the blink of an eye, the Torch Hilichurl followed in the footsteps of his companions.

"My roommate is the best archer. After teaching him most of the language, how to kill the enemy with a bow and arrow is also a topic we often chat about." Ryan put down the crossbow, picked up the sword, and smiled proudly.

"You can't kill two Hilichurls with one arrow, but it's easy to kill one with one arrow."

He patted the two calm horses and jumped off the carriage.

These two horses are both top choices in terms of endurance, speed, and intelligence.

It is the sign of a Deer Hunter delivering long-distance food. They will not be frightened by the sudden sight of a monster. They will find a place to hide on their own, and when it is safe, they will find the groom.

Ryan asked them to slow down and continue running.

He rushed to the back, chasing the round-shield Hilichurl and the wooden-stick Hilichurl.

There are traces of alchemy on the carriage, making it stronger and less susceptible to damage.

But the cart behind did not receive such treatment.

Seeing that the Hilichurls wanted to attack the cart, Ryan leaped out in one step.

Green light gushed out of his body, and the long sword in his hand flashed as he slashed upwards diagonally.

The sharp blade cut through the wooden stick and slashed across the Hilichurl's neck.

Blood dripping.

Ryan kicked away the corpse of the stick-wielding Hilichurl and chopped at the shield-wielding Hilichurl who was holding a stick in one hand and a round shield in the other, performing both offense and defense.

White marks appeared on the wooden shield, and it almost broke into two.

The Dendro element shield condensed by the Dendro slime used by the non-Hilichurl thugs could not stop Ryan who was blessed by the holy relic.

After a few times, the shield broke.

Ryan did not dodge or evade. He relied on the green light on his body to block the attack of the wooden stick and directly stabbed the sword into the heart of the Hilichurl.

"Unu!"

As they called out the name of the gods, the eyes of the Hilichurl grew dim.

Ryan shook off the blood beads on the sword.

After touching the corpse, he retrieved the two arrows.

Dozens of fragmented Mora and four broken masks were his gains.

He exerted force with his feet, caught up with the carriage, and jumped on.

Sit back on the shaft.

After defeating the enemy cleanly and neatly, Ryan looked back on the battle with an excited look on his face.

"It's been a long time since I've felt the feeling of fighting!"

The sleeping body seems to awaken, bringing with it the ancient human desire to hunt.

He spread out his hands and looked at the Mora, which was covered in mud.

"Collecting human items everywhere, is this the origin of the Hilichurl treasure chest?"

A little guess as to the purpose of the four Hilichurls' actions.

Ryan put them behind him.

He didn't have time to bury the bodies of the Hilichurls, so he hoped that the Knights of Favonius would find them in time and help deal with them!

Even if left alone, the bodies of the Hilichurls will mysteriously disappear after a period of time.

Scholars in Mondstadt speculate that except for some secret realms or special areas where the bodies of the Hilichurls would be preserved for a long time, in general, after the death of the Hilichurls, they would turn into black gas and sink into the leylines.

Then, resuscitation.

Create the illusion of endless killing.

This is a common characteristic shared by many monsters in Teyvat.

However, this speculation has not yet been recognized by the mainstream.

However, it is also true that the disappearance of the Hilichurls will not cause plague or pollution.

Ryan took out the "Flowers for Princess Fischl: Volume 0" given to him by Fischl to pass the time.

"This princess's glorious past is revealed to you! Worship! Surrender! Kneel before the princess' skirt!"

Skip the first page and look at the bookmark Fischl gave me, which has some embarrassing words on it.

"The princess on her solitary pilgrimage arrives in the land of eternal twilight..."

Ryan was immersed in the story in the book!

The stars are brilliant, the moonlight is white, and the dim lights are floating in Teyvat.

Three hours later, the carriage entered Springvale.

The wild boars in the forest made a noise by gnawing at the trees.

Birds flying at night flap their wings.

His fingers rested on the pages of the book, Ryan closed his eyes slightly and gathered his energy.

Until the dawn rose and the sun was high in the sky, we could see the blue teleportation anchors left over from ancient times, existing in various parts of the continent.

On the way to the takeaway, we arrived at the second three-way intersection.

A sign with the words "Springvale" written in both Common Language and Mondstadt's language is clearly visible against a stone wall.
