Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 298 8 Yun Island Vanishes Without a Trace

After Kong finished speaking, he patted the teleportation anchor point next to him, and his whole body disappeared instantly.

There were many soldiers around. Although they were stationed at the Kujo Jinya for many years and were very familiar with the teleportation anchor point on the back mountain, none of them knew that it could be used in this way.

Seeing Kong suddenly appear out of thin air and then disappear, many soldiers couldn't help but clamor.

Kujo Masahito loudly silenced the crowd's commotion and turned to Xu Ning, asking, "What did you mean by what you were saying just now?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "It seems that something has gone wrong with the resistance. My good brother wanted to secretly give me a message, but he was scared away by the posture you and your soldiers were putting on."

Kujo Masahito simply couldn't believe that someone who dared to barge directly into the enemy's camp would be scared off by a mere few dozen soldiers.

However, since he was unable to capture the blond traveler, and if he could not obtain any information from Xu Ning, he might miss the opportunity to win the battle.

Kujo Masahito couldn't help but turn his gaze to Kujo Sara, who had a fairly good relationship with Xu Ning.

"Are you going to Nashiina to meet him now?"

Kujo Sara remained calm and directly asked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning had just asked Kong for directions, so he knew this wasn't a good place to talk and arranged another meeting place with him.

"Although my young brother is honest and easily manipulated, he is essentially a very proud person. For him to come to me at all costs, there must be some uncontrollable situation over there. If I get information that can quickly end this war, I will send someone to convey it to you."

Hearing Xu Ning's words, Kujo Sara nodded and said, "I believe you can."

"Make way there and let them pass."

At Kujo Sara's command, the soldiers surrounding the teleportation anchor point quickly opened a gap, all watching with curiosity as Xu Ning led Beidou by the hand toward the strange, bud-like ruins.

After the two disappeared from there again, Kujo Masahiro waved his hand and arranged for three companies to surround the place.

If it weren't for the hope that Xu Ning might bring some information, Kujo Masahiro might have dug up the entire teleportation anchor point and abandoned it.

There are two teleportation points near Nashiina.

When Xu Ning was wandering around this place, everything had already been activated.

The "Nakashida West" that Sora mentioned was already within the territory of Hachiyū Island, and it was only a few dozen steps away from Musōjin Hazama.

When Xu Ning and Bei Dou appeared here, they saw two restless little guys.

Sora clutched the petals of the Blood Orchid in her hand with unease. This flower, which had been extinct in Inazuma for many years, was now blooming again, its beauty as vibrant as blood, nourished by the blood of the battlefield.

Paimon, meanwhile, picked up a broken arrow from somewhere and angrily whipped a piece of dead wood, muttering, "Why isn't that drunkard here yet? If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Teppei won't be able to hold on!"

Upon hearing the name "Zheping," Xu Ning immediately thought of the energetic young man standing beside Paimeng during his duel with Kong Zhenqian.

"What's wrong with Zheping?"

Kong and Paimon were overjoyed to see Xu Ning appear and immediately ran over.

"Brother Xu, you've arrived."

Kong looked at the questioning look on Xu Ning's face and explained, "We don't know about Zheping's situation yet, but recently there seems to be a large number of people fainting in the resistance. Most of them seem to have fainted due to exhaustion, but the military doctors have not been able to find any problems."

Paimon interjected, "But these people all seem to have one thing in common: they have all suddenly become very powerful recently and have made many contributions in various units of the resistance."

"And recently we've felt that Zheping seems to be the same way. After the last withdrawal, several supply depots ran into trouble due to the interference of the Sea Demons. Zheping suddenly made several contributions during the operation to exterminate the Sea Demons, and now he's been assigned to clear out monsters from some ruins on Bayun Island..."

Kong said worriedly, "We think the Fools are definitely up to something here. After all, we've seen plenty of traces of them around here. If Zheping also falls into a coma like those people, I'm afraid..."

As Xu Ning listened to Kong and Paimeng recount the recent situation of the resistance forces, he could tell that Zheping was probably not in any immediate danger.

"When you came, did you ask Coral Palace Heart Sea about the approximate area where Teppei was sent?"

Seeing that Xu Ning was willing to help him find Zheping, Kong Jian said with emotion, "I asked around. Xin Hai said that recently a supply transfer station in the southwest of Bayun Island seems to have been attacked, and a lot of supplies were lost. He suspects that it was caused by demons, so he sent Zheping to check it out."

Xu Ning nodded, "Then let's search around Bayun Island. Whoever finds him first, we must bring him back here as soon as possible, no matter what method we use. We'll meet here tonight."

Kong immediately agreed.

According to Kong, the last time he went to Haizhi Island, it was Zheping who took him there in a small boat.

Although they passed through Bayun Island, they did not activate the teleportation anchor point in that area because they were afraid that they would not be able to find Zheping quickly on their own, so they had no choice but to go to Xu Ning.

Watching Kong's hurried departure, Xu Ning said to Beidou beside him, "I can roughly guess some clues about the location. Why don't you go to Chenyin Cave to rest for a while, and I'll call you out when I find it."

Beidou met Zheping during his repeated transactions with the resistance forces.

I remember him as a sincere and enthusiastic young man who said to Xu Ning, "You must help him," before entering the cave.

Xu Ning reached out and gently pressed on his shoulder. The mechanism clicked, and as soon as the wind wings on his back unfolded, a gust of wind carried him up into the sky.

"To find someone, you must first find them."

This statement may seem like nonsense at first glance, but it is the best way to find someone.

Finding a person in the middle of nowhere is like finding a needle in a haystack, unless you're incredibly lucky.

Only by finding the right people and gathering enough information can we find the correct path and the accurate target.

However, Xu Ning, who was flying in mid-air, saw nothing but towering spines and huge snake head fossils; he saw no signs of human habitation.

"Regardless, let's go check out the snake's head first."

Xu Ning rode the wind and flew straight toward the head of the dead serpent, landing gently on it after a long time.

Then he saw a man.

A warrior as sculpted as a stone statue.
