Collei's Collapse and La Signora's Capture

Seeing this scene, even Bai Ye and Guizhong fell silent.

He really couldn't believe that Dottore could go to such lengths.

"Are you all doing this willingly?"

Bai Ye asked the Dottore, who were about to be engulfed by flames.

Dottore said earnestly, "Of course we are willing to do it, because we know that our deaths are all for the improvement of our technology. We think this trade is appropriate."

They are afraid of death, but if it is to broaden their horizons, they will think it is worthwhile.

For someone as ruthless as Dottore Slice, Bai Ye could only sincerely give a thumbs up. "You're amazing."

At this moment, the Dottore slices did not intend to say anything, but simply let the flames burn them to ashes.

A large patch of black ash appeared on the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately chose to escape.

"I have to leave quickly, otherwise if that area is discovered, I don't know what kind of misunderstandings will arise."

Human spontaneous combustion is quite easy to spot, and Bai Ye didn't want to get involved in such matters. Even if he wanted to do something detrimental to the Akademiya in Sumeru, it would be the same.

He turned around and sped back to where he had come from.

As they passed by, Guizhong appeared and said to Bai Ye with some concern, "Little Bai Ye, this Dottore seems a bit strange. We should be careful when cooperating with him."

"It's alright. Even if he can't be our friend, it's enough that he can stand on the battlefield against the Abyss in the future."

Bai Ye didn't care about Dottore's thoughts; in fact, she hoped he could research more things.

The Abyss hasn't been solved yet, so every bit of power we can gain in the fight against Abyss is a bonus.

Bai Ye returned to the official road just now.

For Mora's sake, Dori and her subordinates waited here for Bai Ye, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Bai Ye return.

Dori asked Bai Ye, "What were you doing just now? Never mind, I won't ask anymore."

However, when asked half of the question, Dori shut her mouth.

She had smelled that burnt human body odor before, when she was with a tribe in the desert. Now, Bai Ye had been out for a while, she actually smelled that odor on her body. Dori didn't dare to think about what Bai Ye had done.

She didn't want to cause trouble in order to make money.

Dori said to Bai Ye, "Let's first conquer the Gandharva Ville, and then find an inn to stay at. After that, we'll take a bath and rest to relieve the fatigue from our journey."

Regardless of the reason for this smell, the most important thing now is to get rid of it.

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

He mounted his Dravya Beast again and headed towards the Gandharva Ville with Dori and the rest of the caravan.

After Bai Ye and the others had been gone for a while, a young man with long fox ears came walking towards the place where Bai Ye and Dottore had been. He was carrying a bow.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, he first sniffed the air.

His expression changed instantly.

"There must have been hundreds of people burned here? What happened here?"

Tighnari said to herself.

Massacre?

However, we, a group of forest rangers, are patrolling this area. If someone is committing a massacre, it is absolutely impossible for us to do so.

Moreover, there were only traces of burning around them, and there was absolutely no sign of resistance.

Was that a form of bodily suicide?

No, to be able to conceal oneself from the ranger's sight, one must be a highly skilled warrior. Even without the Divine Eye, one is at least at the elite level of Fatui; there aren't many warriors like that in Sumeru. There might not even be a hundred or so, and they all committed suicide?

Tighnari felt that the whole thing was eerie.

"Let me check if there's any other evidence around."

He wanted to search the surrounding area for other clues.

Otherwise, with so little information, it's really impossible to find anything out.

Bai Ye came to Gandharva Ville. There weren't many residents here. At first, it was scholars who came. Later, as more scholars settled here, forest rangers came to visit.

Bai Ye lay comfortably on the Dravya Beast, pondering what he should do next.

Just then, he felt the Dravya Beast stop. Then, he heard a shy-sounding girl's voice.

What are you doing here?

"Are you that student from Tighnari, Collei? Here, I have a drink, would you like to have one?"

"You, you know my master?" The green-haired girl, Collei, looked at Dori casually picking up a drink that looked particularly sippy and couldn't help but swallow.

Just as she was about to reach out and take the money, Bai Ye sat up and said to Dori, "Well, it's on me Collei. You don't need to come with her to collect the money."

When Dolly was talking, Bai Ye remembered the plot in the voice of the god Kelai. Dolly almost lost all of Kelai's savings.

Bai Ye certainly couldn't tolerate this.

You even cheated Xiao Collei out of her pitiful little money, that's going too far!

In terms of the severity of her life experiences, Collei definitely belongs to the category of those with the most tragic fates.

At such a young age, she bore hardships she shouldn't have had to endure.

Let alone Bai Ye, who is the kind of person who is very gentle, no one who is not heartless would want to mess with Collei.

Dori said through gritted teeth.

Originally, he planned to rip off Xiao Collei, since he wanted to earn as Mora as Mora.

By saying this, Bai Ye ended up putting all the money on his own Bai Ye.

This trip with Bai Ye to Sumeru City, including all expenses and protection, can be considered Ningguang's reward for her first trade route.

Intermediate expenses are not calculated in detail.

"Ah!?"

Hearing Dori and Bai Ye's conversation, Collei involuntarily took a step back.

"Does this cost money?"

"Of course, I'm a standard businessman, I don't do charity."

Dori said confidently.

She subconsciously lowered her head, feeling somewhat relieved.

I almost lost all my savings.

There's still that kind soul who invited me...

Wait, no, isn't the "I don't have money" kind of "I don't have money"?

"I can do it myself, you don't need to pay. I, I still have savings."

"No need, I don't need to pay for her drinks."

Bai Ye then jumped down and said to Collei.

"That only applies to our journey along Sumeru."

Dori gave Bai Ye a reminder.

Ningguang has already given me money along the way. Unless you can give me more in return, I will never let you get any money for free.

Bai Ye smiled but didn't say anything.

Is it true?

Collei looked at Bai Ye with some excitement.

When she saw Bai Ye, her face flushed slightly.

He's really good-looking.

At the same time, an extremely strange aura emanated from him.

Like a spring breeze blowing away winter, it warms the whole body.

No, this is not an illusion.

She clenched her fist gently and felt that her hand had become stronger.

"Ah?"

She was somewhat surprised.

My Scales of Corruption will only get worse, so how can I feel strong?

Will Nanyu's Scales of Corruption improve just by seeing Bai Ye?

Dori, seeing this, couldn't help but purse her lips, while her men's faces were filled with grief and indignation.

Just because you're good-looking doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!

Just as Bai Ye was about to say something, Collei's expression suddenly changed. She knelt down, her face contorted in pain.

This performance surprised everyone present.

Bai Ye was closest to Collei, and seeing Collei like this, he quickly hugged her.

"I..." Collei only managed to utter one word before fainting.

"What's going on? It can't be that I just happened to be there when the Scales of Corruption flared up."

Bai Ye said, both amused and exasperated.

"According to what you said, this Scales of Corruption should be related to the Abyss. Now that it senses the arrival of its nemesis, you, it is naturally reacting strongly. It was afraid and was supposed to be banished directly, but Collei's body couldn't take it, so it fainted." At this point, Chang Sheng quickly reminded Bai Ye, "By the way, you should also let her go quickly, otherwise her body will not be able to take it if you keep holding her like this."

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded, and then placed Collei on the Dravya Beast.

"Then let's go to the city and find someone to settle Collei in."

"Okay, you're the boss, you're in charge."

Dori waved her hand and said to Bai Ye.

So, Bai Ye and his companions decided to go find the forest ranger's residence first.

"Yes, it's a good opportunity to meet with Tina."

Bai Ye thought to himself.

Little did he know that Tina was currently investigating the mass self-immolation of the [The Doctor] Dottore.

Walking along the road, Bai Ye was still saying to Chang Sheng, "Chang Sheng, I'm worried that Collei's body might have problems. Why don't you go and transfer some life force to her? Of course, I'll give you back what you give her."

For Bai Ye, consuming life force is like consuming fish in the mountains and forests or wild boars in the sea.

There's absolutely no need to worry about waste.

Even after draining the fish of all their life points, he could still eat or sell them.

Bai Ye wouldn't hesitate for a second before using these health points on Collei.

"Good."

Chang Sheng didn't care about this either.

As for vitality, as long as Bai Ye reimburses it, that's fine.

So, the Chang Sheng left Bai Ye's neck and moved to Collei's body, where it began to infuse her with life force.

While Bai Ye was delivering Collei to the city, La Signora Rosalyn encountered danger in another part of Sumeru.

The torture tools that the Doctor. Dottore gave her were exceptionally effective; even someone like the Abyss Singer couldn't withstand them.

In the end, he became so confused that he told Rosalyn everything.

According to the Abyss Chant, Rosalyn knows that the Abyss Order is currently active in the desert.

The target seems to be called something like Apei.

Unfortunately, before he could even finish revealing his name, the Abyss Chant's brain completely broke down.

This made Rosalyn very angry.

"You're really useless. Couldn't you have held on a little longer?"

She wielded her whip and finished disposing of the corpse of the Abyss Singer.

After she finished dealing with the matter, Rosalyn thought for a moment and decided to go to the desert to check on the situation of the Abyss Order.

This limited information didn't allow Rosalyn to deduce much, so she decided to go to the desert to see the situation for herself. Judging from the Abyss Chronicles' attitude, their plan was probably more complex than it Abyss, and Rosalyn intended to find out more.

Only,

Before she even reached the other side of the desert, someone stopped her.

"What? Now you think small fry can stop me?"

Rosalyn sneered as she saw the several Abyss Mage leaping around in front of her.

She picked up the whip, intending to deal with these Abyss Mages.

The Fire Abyss Mage conjured a fire element shield around himself and said to Rosalyn, "Of course we're not here. We're just confirming your location."

Um!?

Rosalyn was slightly startled.

At that moment, a fluctuation came from the air. Rosalyn looked closely and saw three Abyss Singers appear beside Rosalyn.

Upon seeing the three Abyss Singers, Rosalyn's expression remained unchanged.

She was well aware of the fighting power of these Abyss Singers; although they were not weak, she was no match for three of them combined.

"Perfect timing. I don't know much about that Abyss Singer, and I've already ruined it. Now, I can interrogate these three Abyss Singers to find out everything."

Rosalyn thought to herself.

However, at this moment, fluctuations continued to emanate from the air.

Then, Kong appeared in front of Rosalyn.

He said to Rosalyn, "La Signora. Rosalyn, their goal is simply to block your escape route."

As Kong said this, he drew the sword from his hand.

"The one who's really going to get you is me."

Seeing Kong draw his sword, Rosalyn felt a sudden surge of tension for no apparent reason.

He is very strong.

It's incredibly strong.

Rosalyn clearly sensed that the aura emanating from Kong was even stronger than that of the [The Fairytale Clown].

She quickly cracked the whip.

As soon as she lashed out with her whip, the tip of it was caught by Kong's sword.

Then Kong followed the whip tip upwards, heading straight for Rosalyn's vitals.

Rosalyn dodged, but she was much slower than taking off.

The sword tip, carrying the Abyssal Aura, hurtled towards her. Rosalyn instinctively reached out and struck her empty wrist to resist.

Kong nimbly dodged the attack and launched another attack on Rosalyn.

After several consecutive attacks, Rosalyn was now drenched in cold sweat.

That's incredibly fast.

While she was thinking, she felt a heavy blow to her back.

Kong came up behind her and knocked her down.

"Come on, arrest her first."

Kong looked at Rosalyn, who was lying on the ground, and said to the other members of the Abyss Order.

"Yes, Prince Highness."

Rosalyn's face showed jealousy and hatred, but at this moment she was knocked down and could not move at all, and could only be restrained.

"Damn it, I was just thinking of finding some information about the Abyss for that little girl Hu Tao so she and that brat Bai Ye could go and eliminate it. But before I could even find anything, I got captured like this."

She thought bitterly.

The city walls,

Tina searched around but found no clues, so he had no choice but to head to the city.

Just as they arrived at the city, they heard other forest rangers talking about how their students had fainted on the way and been brought here.
