Acheron's Single Slash (Continued)

—Kujou Sara is still quite sensitive to lies.

However, they gained quite a lot today. After all, if they can't beat someone, they can just send them to the Acheron. Now there's no need to pick and choose dungeons; they can just fight whoever they encounter.

Today, Liu Bai's Honkai affinity has dropped to -85—and that's without being able to feed Honkai Beasts medicine.

It's also worth mentioning that when I fed those Death Weavers medicine last time, there was a notification that the Honkai affinity level had changed.

It seems that as long as a certain number of Honkai creatures develop a high level of favorability towards him, he can gain one or two points of Honkai favorability.

Normally, once you reach a certain level, you'll likely become Herrscher and your affinity will be locked. But what if you don't become Herrscher and reach 100 affinity points?

— Incidentally, the normal way to increase favorability in the game is to take revenge on society.

"Please Sara, don't think about this too seriously at this time—by the way, does Yelan accept items from the Honkai?"

"Hmm... theoretically, they should all be accepted."

Upon hearing Liu Bai's question, Kujou Sara immediately put aside all other thoughts and answered.

"After all, all the major organizations are currently researching Honkai."

These days, anyone who claims they're completely untouched by Honkai is talking nonsense.

"However, we can be self-sufficient in low-end Honkai zombie materials... If we really want to talk about it, the merchant guild should be able to handle it. Your relationship with La Signora. Yelan is quite good, isn't it?"

Being able to consume and being able to absorb are two different things.

"So-so? In that case, let's go."

Liu Bai nodded, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and prepared to head straight for the Chamber of Commerce.

However, once he got into the car, Liu Bai remembered something else.

"Is Yelan going back? I'll ask her."

"Liu Bai? Is something the matter?"

A gust of wind came from the Yelan over there.

"No, I don't care if you're busy or not, do you have time? Come over and do me a favor! I've sent you my location!"

Yelan sounded anxious. After saying that, she hung up the phone and sent a real-time location.

It seems... things aren't going well with Yelan?

"Hey buddy, where are you going?" the machine asked, turning its head.

"No, I won't sit down, thank you."

Liu Bai immediately got out of the car.

Although I don't know what happened to Yelan, it's clearly not good news.

Stop dawdling and taking the bus!

Liu Bai led the two to a corner, took out the pot, and pointed the spout at Guinaifen.

"Guinaifen".

"Exist."

Guinaifen was sucked directly into the pot, and then Liu Bai poured out Acheron.

"... An enemy?" Acheron, dressed in pajamas and holding a fishing rod, seemed somewhat surprised by the summons.

Well, it was quite sudden since there was no appointment this time.

"Carry me on your back, and I'll show you the way."

"Oh." Acheron thought for a moment, then picked Liu Bai up.

Carrying is more convenient than carrying, and Liu Bai isn't heavy anyway...

"Sara, I've shared my location with you."

"... The village?"

Kujou Sara glanced at the location, her expression also showing surprise.

"And this movement trajectory... seems to be restricted?"

"Although we don't know what happened, it looks very bad, right?"

After seeing that Sara realized the seriousness of the problem, Liu Bai immediately began to guide her to the Acheron.

"Acheron, head east."

Kujou Sara also flapped its wings and began to fly.

"Hey... this is just too unlucky."

Yelan used a silk thread to deflect the arrows aimed at her.

They had been ambushed.

But... what about the enemy?

It doesn't refer to the Hilichurls and Honkai zombie who shot arrows at him, but rather to the people who plotted to ambush him.

These creatures do have some intelligence, that's about all they're capable of, enough to keep them from fighting with dogs for food.

Not to mention, they were capable of orchestrating such a premeditated trap.

Listening to music and singing along, they ventured into the ghost village for an adventure, only to be robbed.

Okay, this time it really turned into a close call.

What the hell is going on?! This village has so many hidden things and nobody's found them?!

"Tsk... It's rare to see a team like this, where a god-like Honkai zombie and Hilichurls hide behind a Mountain Saint-level or Rock Shield-type disciple and fire arrows at each other."

g dream

These guys' dads have absolutely no fixed rate of fire, and with the addition of the numerous Lin, Yelan's dodging skills are quite formidable.

Moreover, the front-line shield soldiers, who had absolutely no desire to attack and only focused on defense, made Yelan realize that these guys were wasting their own energy.

... This is terrible.

If I really run out of energy, the other side might send in a thug who can deliver the final blow.

Fortunately, Yelan is relatively good at breaking through, and now all she lacks is an opportunity.

During this time, Yelan was also enticing these theoretically brainless enemies—of course, she did not forget that they might have a mastermind behind them.

But... command also takes time.

Even if information can be transmitted instantly, the other party still needs some time to think, right?

If the opponent slows down even for a second, Yelan can rush out.

If the other party has almost no time to make a decision, Yelan has no choice but to accept defeat.

Why bother trying to outsmart a super AI-level enemy? Just fight them head-on and break through. At the very least, you can die with some dignity.

(Although the Divine Hero Deathless are rocket-powered, there are no wooden shield thugs here...)

These were all carefully selected rock shields, and Yelan didn't want to just kick one of them.

Thanks to Liu Bai's phone call just now, otherwise Yelan really wouldn't have had time to ask for help.

Yelan dared not stop for a moment, for stopping would mean experiencing both extreme heat and cold to teach her a lesson.

"... Thankfully, it's not AI."

Looking at the encirclement network that was momentarily thrown into chaos by her shift in position, Yelan smiled slightly.

—Just now, a rock shield was shattered by a hail of arrows from my companions.

"Awooo—!"

The thug, now unshielded and bare-handed, was kicked away by Yelan, and several Honkai zombie and Hilichurls behind him were decapitated by the silk threads.

A huge gap.

Boom--!

"You're sending out your backup plan right away? But I'm not playing this game with you anymore."

A Mitachurl leaped into view in front of Yelan, followed by several more Lawachurl, but for Yelan, she had already accomplished her goal.

Run away~

In an instant, Yelan's figure became ethereal, and her speed suddenly increased, directly rushing past Mitachurl was blocking her way.

"And there are warlocks too..."

Yelan glanced around and noticed several masked female sorcerers, surrounded by shimmering insects, their postures as frivolous as clowns.

"These high-ranking Honkai zombie, this kind of formation... I'm really being overestimated."

Yelan grinned, but instead of leaving the village immediately, she slipped into a house in the village.

Who can guarantee there won't be an ambush outside the village?

Today's adventure has gone a bit too far... It seems the other side is planning to capture me alive.

Otherwise, given the situation he saw, killing himself would have been more than enough.

Just hold on until Liu Bai arrives.

Liu Bai has a trump card in his hand that can decide the outcome.

No matter how ingenious your design, it's insignificant compared to absolute power.

The abandoned house was very dusty, and there was nowhere to hide, but none of that mattered to Yelan.

Yelan carefully arranged a web-like Lifeline Threads in the room.

She could even hear the heavy footsteps of the search team outside.

Do nothing else, focus on recovering your strength...

Running and flying all the way.

What would normally be a two- or three-hour drive, Liu Bai covered in just twenty minutes.

"...call."

Kujou Sara, who jumped down from the tree, frowned deeply.

"The village can be seen from the tree, and the situation is very bad. At a glance, it is full of Honkai creatures, including Honkai zombie, Hilichurls, Honkai Beasts, and even a lot of rare high-level Honkai zombie. We can only let Miss Acheron take action. In addition, they seem to be searching for something. It seems that Miss Yelan is temporarily out of danger."

She was startled when she saw that Yelan's location had stopped moving, thinking that Yelan had been killed—if Liu Bai hadn't been able to see Yelan's favorability rating, she probably would have thought so too.

"Okay, I'll do it." Acheron nodded.

While Kujou Sara scouting in the tree, Acheron also took out her sword.

As for clothes?

Acheron was too lazy to change it.

Anyway, the pajamas were just a bit loose, and in terms of coverage, they covered more area than her regular clothes.

Acheron drew his sword and descended the mountain.

Kujou Sara then flew into the sky with a bow.

"There's an enemy—"

The moment Acheron appeared at the village entrance, the young sorceress surrounded by fireflies let out a sharp scream.

But a flash of light from an Acheron silenced him instantly.

"... This time it shouldn't be stealth, right?"

Acheron was somewhat slow to realize this.

"No, it's okay, do whatever you want."

Liu Bai ignored the three consecutive calls.

Acheron Quan nodded, looking at the Honkai creatures that had been drawn by the flashes of swords and screams.
