"A big guy?"
"What's going on?"
Makoto subconsciously looked up in the direction Liben was pointing.
The next second, he saw a monster shaped like a Rubik's Cube.
It was a Cryo Hypostasis.
The Cryo Hypostasis was currently rolling rapidly, rushing towards Makoto's location.
This behemoth came with great momentum, and each roll caused the ground to tremble violently.
The cold air emanating from its body was also no simple matter; it directly Frozen the entire reservoir, and even the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were Frozen into ice.
Liben had never seen such a situation and his mind went blank.
He had originally thought Slimes were the most terrifying creatures in this world,
but after encountering the Cryo Hypostasis,
Liben suddenly felt that,
compared to the colossal creature that overshadowed them, those Ice Slimes from before were absolutely adorable.
Looking at the approaching Cryo Hypostasis, Liben felt his legs weaken, almost unable to stand steady.
After all, he was just a merchant,
without a Vision, and knowing no combat skills.
He could only cast a look of help towards Makoto.
Looking at the Cryo Hypostasis rolling down the mountain, Makoto felt a bit confused.
What was going on?
Wasn't the Cryo Hypostasis supposed to be in the snowy mountains?
How did it run to Liyue?
However, now was not the time to ponder these questions.
Makoto had already prepared for battle.
He saw the Calamity Queller in his hand Burning fiercely again, its spearhead already pointed at the Cryo Hypostasis.
However, to Makoto's surprise,
the Cryo Hypostasis had no intention of fighting; on the contrary, it deliberately avoided Makoto, accelerating its speed and rushing towards Sumeru.
It quickly disappeared from Makoto's sight.
This, in turn, completely baffled Makoto.
What exactly was going on?
Why did it feel like the Cryo Hypostasis didn't want to fight but wanted to escape?
Makoto carefully recalled the details from just now; it seemed like a small red gadget was attached to the Cryo Hypostasis's body.
Now it seemed that it should be a bomb.
No need to guess, it must be the work of the witch Alice.
Alice promised not to bomb the snowy mountains, but she didn't say she wouldn't bomb the Cryo Hypostasis.
And the Cryo Hypostasis probably had also witnessed the power of Alice's bombs,
so frightened that it abandoned its dwelling and fled overnight, trembling.
Makoto couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated by this.
No wonder whichever country Alice visited, chaos ensued.
That Lord Witch truly gives people no peace.
Even monsters of the Cryo Hypostasis's level were afraid of her.
At this moment, Alice's joyful voice came from not far away: "Makoto, I didn't expect you to be here too."
"Excuse me, did you see which direction the Cryo Hypostasis ran?"
Alice folded her arms across her chest and pouted angrily.
"That guy is just too much; I only said hello to it, and before I could even speak, it ran away frantically."
"How rude! Am I really that terrifying?"
"Never mind, never mind. I still have a lot of experimental data to record. I'll settle the score with the Cryo Hypostasis later."
Alice paused; she seemed to remember something, then took out two bombs.
"These are new bombs I've developed. How about it, want to come with me to find a place to test their effect?"
"Mondstadt hasn't allowed bomb-setting recently, as for Liyue…"
As she spoke, Alice looked at Ganyu, who was beside her.
Speaking of which, Alice and Ganyu were acquainted.
Mainly because every time Alice appeared in Liyue, Morax would always follow closely,
fearing that Alice would do something outrageous.
Over time, Ganyu and others also came to know Alice, the witch.
Seeing Ganyu's shaking head, Alice said with a wry smile: "It seems Liyue doesn't allow bomb testing either."
"In that case, it's a bit of a headache."
"Oh, right, let's go to Inazuma then."
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Yae in a long time. I'll go visit her and catch up, and test the bomb's power while I'm at it."
"Hmm, it's decided then, a trip to Inazuma."
Alice looked up at Makoto, her large eyes bright and spirited, very lively.
"Makoto, do you want to come to Inazuma with me?"
"Let's test the bomb's power together, how about it?"
Upon hearing Alice's words, Makoto didn't know how to respond.
He did plan to go to Inazuma in a few days,
but that was to see the festival, not to test bomb power.
This kind of thing really shouldn't be tested.
It might even get him on Inazuma's blacklist.
However, looking at Alice's carefree personality, it seemed she didn't care about such things.
Makoto hesitated, wanting to express his thoughts subtly.
"Alice, I am indeed planning a trip to Inazuma, but it's not for…"
Before he could finish speaking, Alice nodded: "Then it's settled, we'll meet in Inazuma~"
"By then, I should have developed a few new types of bombs."
Every time Alice mentioned bombs, she seemed to have endless energy.
For her, nothing was more interesting than making bombs.
After a brief chat, Alice ran off to the snowy mountains to continue her experiments.
And Liben also bid farewell to Makoto, continuing his journey to Mondstadt.
Now that everything was resolved, Makoto could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He opened the gacha pool.
