Xavier looked at her with a suspicious gaze and asked, "Are you sure?"
Facing such a gaze, Furina felt insulted and immediately asked, "What do you mean? Are you questioning me?!"
"I'm going to..."
Before Xavier could speak, Kokomi on the side advised, "Furina, I suggest you don't go. Anemo Hypostasis are very powerful. They possess the purest elemental power."
Kokomi was knowledgeable and understood elemental creatures.
Furthermore, the Anemo Hypostasis resided near them, so she had probably experienced it firsthand.
Alhaitham also reminded, "Anemo Hypostasis seem gentle when dormant, but once they go berserk, they will kill relentlessly until the invaders are driven away or killed."
"Really? I thought they were just like that in the game..."
Furina was still skeptical and cautiously approached.
She picked up a small stone nearby and threw it, but the Anemo Hypostasis remained motionless.
This greatly boosted Furina's confidence, and she declared with her head held high, "Don't worry, I can definitely handle him! Even if I can't, I can still run away!"
"I believe in you, Furina!"
Everyone looked at each other, expressing great doubt, but only Hu Tao offered support.
"I say, Furina..."
Kaveh still wanted to persuade him, but Xavier pulled him back.
"She'll regret it when she suffers a loss. Let her go."
Xavier knew that nothing was better than letting this guy experience it himself. When he couldn't win, he would know what regret felt like.
Everyone retreated to a corner, wanting to see how Furina would deal with this Anemo Hypostasis.
"Come out, all of you!"
Under everyone's gaze, Furina shouted loudly, summoning her three followers.
Looking at these three hydro creatures, everyone shook their heads repeatedly.
These three little guys could usually help Xavier cook and wash vegetables, but fighting would probably be too difficult, right?
"Unleash the bubbles!"
Under Furina's command, the three followers simultaneously spat out bubbles.
And the Anemo Hypostasis, which was quiet a second ago, went berserk the next second.
It transformed into its true form, and countless vines shot up from the ground, striking at the bubbles.
As expected, the bubbles were vulnerable and shattered the moment they touched the vines.
"How can he be so strong!"
Furina was a little flustered; it was much stronger than she had imagined.
"Damn it, he seems very strong, but I just said I would defeat him."
"But if I ask them for help now, it will be very embarrassing, no, no..."
After much deliberation, Furina decided to bite the bullet and go into battle.
She held her staff and struck it heavily on the ground.
Numerous splashes of water rose from the ground, surging towards the Anemo Hypostasis.
Hu Tao put her hand on her forehead and exclaimed, "Ho, I didn't notice it usually, but Furina is quite powerful!"
"He does have some strength, but if it's just like this, it's not enough," Alhaitham stated the cruel truth.
After all, this was an Anemo Hypostasis, not something just any random person could deal with.
"Hehe, with her strength, using Hydro element power to deal with an Anemo Hypostasis is simply a fool's dream."
Balladeer, who had been missing for who knows how long, suddenly reappeared and let out a mocking sound.
"It's you again!" Kaveh clenched his fists. "You were the one who woke that bug up just now, weren't you!"
Balladeer said expressionlessly, "You should thank me for letting you know the facts and the truth. This is a precious spirit that cowards cannot possess."
Kaveh really wanted to beat this guy up. Why could he always find such high-sounding reasons for himself?
However, compared to Balladeer's sarcastic remarks, Xavier was more concerned about Furina.
Because at this time, Furina had almost exhausted her elemental power. She had barely been able to block the Anemo Hypostasis's attacks just now.
Now, as soon as she relaxed, the Anemo Hypostasis's attacks became much more violent.
Vines lashed out one after another, and Furina only had time to escape; she had no strength to parry at all.
"Don't, don't hit me, I was just joking with you!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I was just joking with you, ah ah ah, don't chase me anymore!"
Furina was incredibly disheveled, constantly spinning in circles, trying to move the other party with words.
Unfortunately, the other party had no such thoughts. Besides, he was sleeping peacefully, and you hit him, and now you say you were joking.
"Thwack!"
The Anemo Hypostasis extended a vine, tightly wrapping around Furina's ankle.
Furina was flung into mid-air, constantly spinning, which was even more thrilling than riding a roller coaster.
"Xavier, stop watching, come and save me quickly!"
At this moment, Furina no longer cared about her dignity and could only ask Xavier for help.
Xavier said with a chuckle, "But you just said you could solo him, didn't you?"
"I said I could solo him in the game, but I didn't expect him to be so strong in reality, please save me, boo hoo..."
Seeing Furina crying, Xavier stopped joking. Lightning flashed in his hand, directly cutting the vine into countless pieces.
"Charge! Kill this guy!" Seeing Xavier make a move, Kaveh was, of course, the most excited, because they came here for this guy today.
Under the combined assault of several people, the poor Anemo Hypostasis, as expected, did not last long.
Even if it wanted to use elemental power to protect itself, its defense was easily shattered, and it eventually sank into the ground, transforming into a Ley Line Blossom.
"This is a good thing. I heard that you can become stronger by absorbing the power from the Ley Line Blossom!"
Cyno looked at the blooming Ley Line Blossom and could feel faint traces of power flowing within it.
"Really?" Xavier was a bit skeptical. "Does this mean it's like in the game, where it drops materials and artifacts for me?"
Cyno: "..."
Sometimes, silence is more deafening than words.
The materials had clearly appeared, as the ground was covered with the Anemo Hypostasis's roots and vines, which were the materials Kaveh needed.
As for artifacts, Xavier was clearly thinking too much.
Alhaitham explained, "You need special items to absorb its power. At least we don't have them. It's said that the Traveler and a few others possess them."
Xavier immediately understood; that thing must be Resin.
Only with that item could one absorb its power and become stronger.
"Everyone, move aside, let me do it!"
Furina rushed over, and everyone thought she had the ability to absorb power.
But unexpectedly, Furina rushed over and smashed the Ley Line Blossom with three punches and two kicks, muttering to herself.
"That's for bullying me just now, that's for bullying me just now..."
