Upon discovering a group of Ice Slimes causing trouble, Ganyu immediately drew her bowstring.
Blue light continuously condensed on her bow and arrow, forming a Frostflake Arrow.
The next second, Ganyu fired a Frostflake Arrow.
The bow and arrow in his hand transformed into a dazzling blue light, and the whistling sound of it breaking through the air seemed to tear the very atmosphere.
This was an arrow forged by an Adeptus.
Even the thick-skinned Ancient Geovishap couldn't withstand this arrow; its power was naturally extraordinary.
The Frostflake Arrow shot towards the Ice Slimes, its splash DMG shattering the earth and raising large clouds of dust.
When the dust settled, the Ice Slimes were standing there unharmed.
Makoto immediately realized that these monsters were immune to attacks of the same element.
Ganyu's Frostflake Arrow was a Cryo element attack, so it had no effect on the Ice Slimes.
Coming back to his senses, Ganyu stopped charging his arrows and instead performed simple, normal attacks without elemental power.
Although each arrow could take down one Ice Slime, the sheer number of Ice Slimes was too great, and they were spread out.
If Ganyu were to rely solely on drawing and firing arrows like this, it would undoubtedly consume a lot of time and energy.
In response, Makoto spoke, "Miss Ganyu, please leave these Slimes to me."
As he spoke, Makoto quickly rushed towards the group of Ice Slimes.
He first used Kaedehara Kazuha's 'Chihayaburu' to gather the scattered Ice Slimes together, thereby increasing efficiency.
Immediately after, a dazzling golden light rapidly condensed in Makoto's hand.
In just a blink of an eye, the weapon 'Calamity Queller' had appeared in Makoto's hand.
After this period of practice, Makoto was becoming increasingly proficient in using Calamity Queller.
Although he hadn't reached the level of an Adeptus, it was more than enough to deal with these monsters.
The next second, the polearm in Makoto's hand ignited with a raging fire, the flames engulfing the entire weapon.
From a distance, the appearance of Calamity Queller seemed to have changed.
It was like a rising fire dragon!
To deal with these Ice Slimes, the simplest and most direct solution was to use Pyro element skills.
Immediately after, Makoto swung the Calamity Queller in his hand towards the group of Ice Slimes.
Well fed and well rested, may you have a good journey!
That was Hu Tao's Elemental Burst skill, Mystical Rite: Spirit Soother.
One of Teyvat's three ultimate nuke skills, it was more than enough to deal with these Ice Slimes.
So much so that...
The Burning Calamity Queller hadn't even touched the Ice Slimes, yet the terrifying high temperature had already caused them to Melt.
Ganyu, standing beside him, quietly observed Makoto's profile, her sparkling beautiful eyes looking just like those of a fangirl.
To be able to eliminate so many Ice Slimes in an instant, Mr. Faxun is truly amazing.
Meanwhile, Liben, who was squatting on the ground looking small and helpless,
Only after seeing Makoto eliminate the Ice Slimes did Liben reveal a look of relief.
Liben's voice was filled with gratitude: "Two heroes, thank you for saving me."
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Liben, and I am a merchant."
"On my way to Mondstadt, I felt thirsty and intended to get some water here, but I didn't expect to encounter a group of Slimes."
"If it weren't for your help, I would have been in big trouble today."
Recalling the scene just now, Liben still felt a chill down his spine.
Slimes, they were truly terrifying.
As a merchant, he only knew how to sell goods; how could he know how to deal with these monsters?
Liben paused, then continued, "You two have helped me, and I will never forget this kindness."
"Coincidentally, I have some things here that I can give to you two as a token of my gratitude. Please don't refuse."
As he spoke, Liben pulled out an exquisite gift box from his backpack and handed it to Makoto.
Makoto looked down at the gift box and found that it contained various strange items.
They were probably specialties from nations like Sumeru and Fontaine.
Makoto had no interest in those items, and neither did Ganyu.
However, since it was a gift from Liben, both of them accepted it.
Immediately after, Makoto's gaze fell on a corner of the gift box.
There were three pink stones there.
Upon closer inspection, they were intertwined fate.
Good heavens!
Liben had given them three intertwined fate!
Normally, Makoto could only obtain one intertwined fate at a time by using a spirit inducing lamp or increasing friendship.
But now, just by helping Liben clear out some monsters, he had given him three intertwined fate.
This deeply moved Makoto.
This brother Liben is reliable; he truly gives away good things.
Just as Makoto was marveling, Liben re-shouldered his pack.
Liben first looked up at the sky, then said to Makoto and Ganyu, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
"For various reasons, I must reach Mondstadt City tonight."
"If we have the chance in the future, we'll meet again."
As he spoke, Liben waved goodbye to Makoto and Ganyu.
Makoto also did not force him to stay.
Because he knew Liben's plan to go to Mondstadt, there was no need to make Liben change his itinerary.
Watching Liben's departing back, Makoto felt a bit emotional.
After this parting today, he wondered when they would meet again.
Perhaps, it would be a long time before he saw Liben again.
Just as Makoto and Ganyu were about to return to Liyue, they heard hurried footsteps and a pig-like shriek coming from behind them.
Turning their heads, they saw Liben running desperately towards them.
Liben was sweating profusely and showed no sign of stopping.
"Help, help, help!"
"There's, there's a big guy coming this way!"
"Let's run!"
