In the beginning, Lumine and Paimon could be said to have been roughing it, but everything changed after Granny Ping gave her this Serenitea Pot.
This was a portable island villa! She could also put various small animals inside. The Traveler kept several cats in the villa.
"Yo, you two, how's your ruin exploration going?" Shiki said, stepping down from the air step by step on a Lightning element sigil.
Both Waypoints at Amakumo Peak were in the sky, which was indeed a bit troublesome.
"Hi, we just unlocked the entrance mechanism yesterday and haven't gone down to see yet."
"Haven't gone down yet..." Shiki glanced at the deep pit that was originally filled with seawater. Now, not a single drop of water could be seen, and there was a huge hole in the middle.
"Do you need me to accompany you? I also have some things I want to discuss with you, Lumine."
"If you want to come, of course, I welcome you."
The Traveler expressed her welcome. Of course, she knew this was secondary; the main thing should be the "some things" the other party mentioned.
"What do you want to discuss?"
"It's like this, Lumine, can you help me introduce me to Tianquan Ningguang?"
"Ah, that's it? I thought... Wait, what did you say?"
Eh, this, this isn't right, is it?
The Traveler had already put her hands on her hips, ready to proudly say, "Leave it to me, you can leave anything to me," but she didn't expect it to be about meeting Ningguang?
If Shiki was just her friend, that would naturally be fine, but don't forget, she was also Inazuma's Side Attendant, which was equivalent to Liyue's Qixing!
With the background of a Side Attendant, it was immediately different.
"I want to meet Ningguang, preferably in private, without anyone knowing."
"This... I'll try."
The Traveler's reputation in Liyue was already MAX, so it was naturally very easy to meet Ningguang, but whether the latter would agree was uncertain.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Shiki nodded, then took the lead and descended into the ruins.
Standing on the golden sigil, Shiki looked around. The layout here was similar to that in the game, but because it was larger than in the game, it didn't seem as narrow and crowded.
And there were also more Automaton and Ruin Sentinels than in the game, but fortunately, these things wouldn't revive from the Ley Lines like monsters.
In other words, once they were destroyed, they would never appear again.
Anyway, during her previous trip to Araumi, Shiki hadn't seen the Automaton she had dismantled with her bare hands during the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual.
Tap
She landed lightly on the ground, her geta clacking on the somewhat damp stone slabs. And at that very moment, all the dormant Automaton and Ruin Sentinels' eyes lit up with red light.
The Traveler and Xinyan also jumped down from the cave entrance, and then they saw countless Ruin Sentinels transforming.
Too shocked to react, the two quickly took out their weapons and prepared for battle, but with Shiki here, did they even need to make a move?
"Stand behind me and don't move. When the difference in strength is too great, distance loses its meaning."
Kuji Narukami slowly materialized in her hand, lightning spreading. Shiki's figure instantly vanished from her original spot.
The next moment...
Clang xn
A series of sounds made the Traveler recall a certain short, handsome young man's Whirwind of Blades. Both were equally swift and deadly.
However, the Lightning element made her speed even faster than Xiao's.
Golden lines wove into a giant net within the ruins, and at the end of each line was a falling Automaton or Ruin Sentinel.
Shiki's figure reappeared in front of the Traveler, and the Kuji Narukami in her hand transformed into lightning and disappeared. At this moment, those Ruin Guards finally fell.
Boom!
The fall of hundreds of Automaton caused the ruin to shake, but fortunately, it was quite sturdy and no collapse or similar incidents occurred.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Something that could remain relatively intact after a huge explosion couldn't be a shoddy construction.
"So, so amazing..."
Xinyan was dumbfounded. Everything happened too suddenly. After coming down from the cave entrance, there was a large group of activating Automaton, then Shiki told them to hide behind her, and finally, the golden giant net woven in just a few short seconds.
She couldn't even clearly see what the girl had done. All she saw was a flash of golden light followed by continuously falling Automaton.
