Ganyu, standing beside him, also had her beautiful eyes sparkling with surprise.
She was helpless against the black mud that had contaminated the Ancient Geovishap.
She had originally thought that only when Cloud Retainer arrived would the situation take a turn for the better.
She never expected Makoto to actually clear the black mud.
This was truly unbelievable!
And when she saw Makoto use both Anemo and Pyro elements, Ganyu was even more astonished.
So far, she had already learned that Makoto had used the power of Anemo, Pyro, Cryo, Hydro, and Geo attributes.
A total of five elements!
Why could Makoto use multiple elements simultaneously?
Looking at Makoto's back, Ganyu murmured softly, "Mr. Fang Xun's power exceeds my expectations."
"Perhaps he can truly lead the qilin race to resurgence."
...
As for Makoto, after dealing with one Ancient Geovishap, he did the same with the other, using the Luminous Stone as a medium to clear the black mud.
The Ancient Geovishap, having lost the black mud's amplification, became extremely weak, collapsing to the ground with a rumble, as if all its strength had been drained.
Makoto intended to repeat the process, using Hu Tao's Elemental Burst skill again to finish off this Ancient Geovishap.
However, his movements suddenly paused.
The reason was simple:
This Ancient Geovishap was not right; it contained a large amount of marsh gas within its body.
If Makoto attacked this Ancient Geovishap, it could trigger the marsh gas to cause a huge explosion.
At that time, Ganyu might be affected.
Because of this, Makoto quickly stopped what he was doing.
Immediately after, he looked up at Ganyu to explain the situation.
"Miss Ganyu, this Ancient Geovishap contains a large amount of marsh gas within its body; you need to defeat it from a distance."
"That way, even if the marsh gas explodes, no one will be harmed."
In an instant, the Treasure Hoarders were terrified.
Didn't Makoto's words mean that the Ancient Geovishap was a mobile barrel of explosives?
The Treasure Hoarders didn't want to be blown up here, so they quickly retreated to a safe distance.
Ganyu also nodded; she was a bow character and could defeat the Ancient Geovishap from a long distance.
This way, even if the Ancient Geovishap exploded, no one would be implicated.
Ganyu drew her bowstring, aimed at the dying Ancient Geovishap, and then released the arrow.
At the same time, Ganyu gestured for Makoto to retreat, as an explosion was imminent.
Makoto naturally also quickly fled.
Because there were too many variables with an explosion, no one knew what would happen next, and there might even be a collapse.
As Makoto was retreating, he unexpectedly noticed a beautiful white rose blooming by the roadside.
It was truly beautiful, the most beautiful white rose Makoto had ever seen.
Makoto remembered that Ganyu's favorite flower was the white rose.
If he could pick that white rose, Ganyu should be very happy, right?
So, while everyone was desperately retreating to a safe position, they saw Makoto suddenly turn around and run towards the Ancient Geovishap.
The next second, Ganyu's Frostflake Arrow pierced through the Ancient Geovishap's body.
The arrow struck the hard armor, creating sparks.
The marsh gas met the sparks, causing a huge explosion.
With a loud bang, the Treasure Hoarders felt the ground shake and fell heavily, unable to stand steadily.
"Mr. Fang Xun!" Ganyu's pretty face turned flustered.
She didn't know what Makoto was going back for, but it was definitely very dangerous!
Without time to think too much, Ganyu rushed into the thick smoke, desperately searching for Makoto's figure.
She saw Makoto lying on the ground, covered by a Yu Zhang Shield.
"Mr. Fang Xun, how are you? Are you alright?" Ganyu immediately stepped forward and helped Makoto up.
At this moment, she was anxious, worried that something unexpected might happen to Makoto.
"I'm fine, Miss Ganyu, don't worry."
Compared to Ganyu's anxiety, Makoto seemed more relaxed.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed the perfectly intact white rose to Ganyu.
"Miss Ganyu, this white rose is very beautiful; I hope you like it."
Ganyu froze in place.
Mr. Fang Xun had turned back, risking the explosion, just to pick a rose for her?
In an instant, Ganyu's eyes became moist, and she felt a lump in her throat.
"Mr. Fang Xun is such a fool!"
Ganyu, who was usually quiet and dignified, couldn't help but scold Makoto at this moment.
This was simply reckless.
Makoto could have avoided the explosion, yet he turned around and rushed back.
And this was just for a white rose?
Who would disregard their own life for a white rose, not even caring about their own safety?
Amidst her anger, Ganyu felt even more touched.
She never expected that a casual remark she made at the time would be remembered by Makoto, who then braved danger just to make her smile.
Mr. Fang Xun is so foolish; how can there be such a fool!
