The four-person group: (⊙_⊙) !!!
They terrified the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt!
I once had tea at the hands of the Geo Archon in Liyue!
Inazuma beat up a thunder movie!
He saved the grass god in Mount Sumeru!
He scared the water god in Fontainebleau!
When have they ever cared about what others think?! Why are they suddenly acting all fussy here at the hot springs?
"Yes!"
Qingyu was the first to figure it out, and slapped his thigh in realization.
"We are honorary Hilichurls! What's wrong with taking a soak in a hot spring?!"
"Exactly! With my good looks, soaking in a hot spring only enhances its charm!"
Er Kang immediately regained his arrogant and self-assured demeanor.
Zhang Chu and Gu Qian nodded silently, giving up on pointless agonizing.
Thus, led by Marani's cheerful demeanor, a group of quirky "tourists"—
A blonde traveler, a white sprite, four Hilichurls of different appearances, and an arrogant shark-headed robot—
They marched in a grand procession toward the changing room, ready to embark on a hot spring journey that was destined to leave a "deep impression" on the entire Liuquan tribe!
One can imagine the chaotic yet hilarious scene that would unfold when this group of people appeared by the hot spring pool...
Chapter 151 The Abyss! Damn it! The Abyss! Fight!
Just as everyone was rubbing their hands together, ready to rush to the changing room and begin their long-awaited hot spring trip, a slightly reproachful female voice interrupted their steps.
"Marani—!"
"Who is it? Ah! It's Aunt Agaya!"
Marani turned around and saw a woman with a capable demeanor, dressed in the distinctive attire of the Flowing Springs. She immediately smiled and ran over to her.
"How many times have I told you not to call me 'Auntie'!"
Agaia sighed and rubbed her forehead, then glared at Marani, feigning anger.
Do I look that old?
"Hehe, I got it, Sister Agaya!"
Maranie readily agreed and playfully stuck out her tongue.
Agaia then turned her attention to the "complex" group behind Marani.
As her gaze swept over Qingyu, Erkang, Zhang Chu, and Gu Qian, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She muttered in a voice only she could hear, "Wow, they really are Hilichurls..."
But she quickly composed herself and flashed a friendly smile: "Welcome to Flowing Springs. However, as a local, I have a small suggestion—I don't recommend that you go to the natural hot spring area right away."
She explained, “The springs there are directly connected to the earth’s veins, and the water temperature is extremely high. Every year, many visitors overestimate their tolerance and faint in the water, requiring us to pull them out… So, it’s best to try the water in a hot spring pool with artificially regulated temperature first. If you can handle it, then it’s not too late to challenge the natural hot spring.”
"Thank you for reminding us, we will take note."
On behalf of the team, Zhang Chu expressed his gratitude to the kind neighbor.
He didn't care; the heat resistance of the Hilichurl thugs was no joke.
"Oh dear, Agaya, you don't need to worry about them!"
Marani took Agaia's arm and said with a grin.
"They are very strong! Especially these four Hilichurl Honor Knights!"
“I’m not worried about these four… well, strong and powerful Hilichurl warriors.”
Agaia's gaze passed over the group of four and landed on Luminous and Paimon.
“My concern is for the blond honorary knight and the white elf. The natural hot spring environment might be a bit too stimulating for them.”
"Hey! We're pretty strong too! Don't underestimate us!"
Paimon flew over angrily, hands on his hips, in a strong protest.
She's been through epic battles with the Wind Demon Dragon and the Thunder General! How could she be looked down upon by a mere hot spring!
Ying suppressed a laugh and patted Paimon's little head.
“Miss Agaya is right. Let’s go to the artificial hot spring to get used to it first. Safety first.”
"Hey! Traveler! You betrayed me!"
Paimon looked at Luminous in shock, feeling betrayed.
Agaia's expression turned slightly serious, and she lowered her voice, saying, "Actually, there's another reason why I'm advising you to be careful. Recently, the energy fluctuations in the natural hot spring area have been very unstable, and the water temperature is also much higher than in previous years. We suspect... this may be a precursor to the infiltration and invasion of abyssal energy."
"abyss?!"
This word, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly created ripples within the Knights of Honor!
Ying's eyes sharpened instantly, and she subconsciously turned to look at the group of four, seeking confirmation and a solution.
However, what she saw were four pairs of eyes... gleaming like hungry wolves eyeing fatty meat!
"Intrusion!?"
Qingyu's voice was full of surprise.
"How long has it been since we've seriously played the Abyss?!"
Er Kang rubbed his hands together excitedly, as if he had heard some incredibly good news.
"It's been so long! My hands have been itching to get used to them! This is the perfect time to stretch my muscles and have some fun!"
Zhang Chu also showed a rare expression of eagerness.
"Shark chili! Smell it!"
Gu Qian went even further, issuing commands to his new partner.
"I'm a shark, not a dog, you bastard!"
Shark Chili's electronic voice was filled with anger, but his shark head still subconsciously (or under the influence of some invisible "I think power") sniffed the air.
(The author quips: What kind of olfactory sensor does a robot need?!)
Zhang Chu declared confidently: "I figured if it can smell it, then it can smell it! Disagree?"
With the powerful enhancement of his "Thinking Power," Shark Chili's eyes flashed red as he quickly locked onto his target: "Abnormal energy fluctuations detected! The source is—over there!"
His metal fins pointed to a seemingly peaceful hillside not far away.
Gu Qian let out a low roar and stepped forward with earth-shaking strides.
He didn't pull out any magical weapons, but instead... he took out an enormous can opener that looked like it was used to open giant cans!
He pressed the tip of the can opener against the air, his arm muscles tensed, and with a sudden burst of force—
"Tsk-!"
A tooth-grinding sound, as if spatial fabric was being forcibly torn apart, rang out!
Gu Qian used that outrageous can opener to forcefully "pry open" a spatial rift in the air, the edges of which flickered with unstable purple energy!
Behind the crack, a thick and foul abyssal aura rushed out!
This earth-shattering commotion instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hot spring area!
Some Nata tribe warriors who were soaking in the hot springs didn't even have time to put on their clothes. Bare-chested and only wrapped in a bath towel, they grabbed their weapons from the poolside, roared, and rushed over to surround the crack, ready for battle!
Just then, an abyss mage with a water elemental shield, seemingly bewildered by the sudden light and commotion outside, cautiously poked its head, adorned with a comical mask, out of the crack to see what was happening.
Then... it met the eyes of four Hilichurls burning with the desire to "hunt".
"Abyss! Damn it! It's the Abyss! Attack!"
Er Kang reacted the fastest. Like a street thug fighting for territory, he rushed forward and grabbed the Abyss Mage's shield with his bare hands, pulling it out of the crack and slamming it to the ground like trash!
"Brothers! Circle kick!"
Qingyu shouted, and the four of them immediately surrounded the Abyss Mage, who was still rolling on the ground and hadn't even realized what was happening yet, and began a brutal, rhythmic four-person mixed circle kick!
"Bang! Crack! Thud! Bang!"
Accompanied by the Abyss Mage's incomprehensible "whooshing" sounds, the scene became extremely cruel.
Soon, the abyss mage was beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
The four of them tossed it at the feet of the Nata warriors, who were on high alert but whose expressions had become quite subtle, like trash.
"Warm-up complete!"
Zhang Chu twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.
"It's time to go in and clear the area!"
Er Kang grinned, revealing a picture of the Dragon King with a crooked mouth on his mask.
"Charge! For... uh, for the hot springs!"
Qingyu offered a flimsy excuse.
"Ow—!"
Gu Qian let out a battle cry.
The next moment, the four rolled up their sleeves (which weren't even there) and, like four out-of-control heavy trucks, roared into the still-wriggling spatial rift!
Immediately afterwards, a chaotic commotion erupted from behind the crack, filled with the sounds of chickens running wildly, dogs barking, and ghostly howls:
"Awooo! Howl! (The bloodied dog's scream)"
"Aaaaa!" (The Abyss Mage's shrill cry)
"Ugh! (The Abyss Singer screams in agony as his defenses crumble)"
"Help! Where did those four perverted Hilichurls come from?! They're going on a rampage!! Run!! (A desperate cry from a remaining Abyss Apostle)"
