Under Diluc's single Greatsword strike, the gate of the Abyss Order stronghold was instantly destroyed.
The scorching Flames, spread by the wind, swept through the entire stronghold.
The water element Abyss Mage, the only one present, had his newly condensed water element shield instantly shattered.
Before he could condense a second water element shield, Diluc's Greatsword had already struck him.
Diluc killed the Abyss Mage with one sword strike. The remaining Hilichurls posed no threat to Diluc.
Diluc quickly dispatched all of them.
Collecting the Primogems he obtained, Diluc turned and headed to the next stronghold.
After cultivating the Wind Spirit Art, it was much more convenient for Diluc to break the Abyss Mage's shields.
Especially the Pyro Abyss Mages; before, he had to hack away at their shields sword strike by sword strike, which was very time-consuming.
Now, he only needed to infuse Wind element, and the shields would break quickly.
Without their shields, the Abyss Mages were merely lambs to the slaughter before Diluc.
That night, a large number of Abyss Order strongholds within Mondstadt were eradicated. Every time a stronghold was eliminated, a brilliant Flame would ignite in the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
Inside Ye Yun's shop, Ye Yun got out of bed and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
"Ye Yun, the Congee is already cooking. Is there anything else you need done? Pom." Pom-Pom looked up at Ye Yun from the side, asking if there was anything else she could help with.
Ye Yun smiled and shook his head.
"No need, Pom-Pom. Go rest for a bit."
Pom-Pom wiped the water from her hands.
"I'll go see if Klee and Hook are awake. Pom."
After speaking, Pom-Pom waddled on her short legs towards March 7th's room with a pattering sound.
March 7th hadn't returned last night, so her room was commandeered for Klee and Hook to sleep in.
Ye Yun looked in the refrigerator, found a carton of eggs, and took out a frying pan to prepare some fried eggs.
While frying the eggs, the Shop Teleportation Portal was pushed open. This portal in the shop could connect to all other Shop Teleportation Portals.
The door opened, and Stelle rushed into the shop, holding a small monkey emitting Flames.
Following closely behind, March 7th and Dan Heng also entered.
After rushing in, Stelle quickly went to the Small Bar and poured herself a cup of hot water to drink.
"Ah~ That's comfortable. Belobog is getting colder by the day."
Ye Yun's gaze fell on the Chimchar that Stelle had placed on the Bar Counter.
He hadn't expected Stelle to hatch a Chimchar. The Chimchar's combat power was undeniable.
If it could evolve into an Inferno Ape later, it would possess a bug-level skill, "Fatal Flames."
This skill had nothing else to brag about except for the 1% instant kill chance mentioned in its description, which was enough to show how overpowered this skill was.
Although this was reality, according to the System, this skill was only effective against enemies below the rank of Emissary, and only an Adult Form Inferno Ape could learn this skill.
Stelle drank a cup of hot water, feeling much more comfortable.
Wiping her mouth, Stelle picked up the Chimchar and came over to Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, what do you think of my Chimchar?"
Ye Yun said.
"It's good. Among Spirits, it's an existence with above-average combat power. If you're lucky enough to evolve it into an Inferno Ape later, you won't have to fear enemies below the Emissary rank."
Upon hearing this, Stelle's face instantly lit up with joy.
"Ohoho! Is it that powerful? Invincible below Emissary?"
Ye Yun thought for a moment.
"You can't say invincible. The Inferno Ape has a skill called Fatal Flames, which has a 1% chance to instantly kill enemies. It's only effective against enemies below the Emissary rank."
Dan Heng and March 7th, who were nearby, were shocked upon hearing this.
March 7th said in disbelief.
"That's too outrageous, isn't it? This little monkey can become that powerful in the future?"
Stelle picked up the Chimchar.
"As expected of my Galaxy Bat Hero's Spirit, it's awesome! Hahahaha!"
Ye Yun added.
"However, this skill can only be learned by Adult Form Inferno Apes. There's still a long way to go from Chimchar to Inferno Ape."
March 7th picked up her Bu Bu Seed.
"Ye Yun, Ye Yun, what about the Bu Bu Seed? What's the Bu Bu Seed's potential?"
Ye Yun said.
"Bu Bu Seed is also good. Later on, it can be synthesized with Little Sprout into Lisa Bu Bu. Lisa Bu Bu has strong defense and also has the skill to heal teammates."
March 7th was overjoyed upon hearing this. Her Bu Bu Seed was quite amazing too~
As for the training time, the two girls didn't mind. They would just spend the time to train them.
Just then.
Stelle, March 7th, and Dan Heng's stomachs rumbled at an inconvenient time.
"Grrr~ Grrr~"
Seeing this, Ye Yun looked into the kitchen, took out a plate of pickled cabbage, and placed it in front of the three.
"The congee should be ready. Go grab a stool and sit down and eat something first."
Upon hearing this, Dan Heng consciously went to get stools.
Stelle and March 7th ran into the kitchen. One washed the bowls, and the other served the congee.
Bu Bu Seed sat quietly on the bar counter, watching Ye Yun cook.
Chimchar was more mischievous. It even tried to reach out and touch the fried egg in the pan, but Ye Yun directly grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and pulled it back.
After serving the congee, the three sat on the counter next to the kitchen, holding a bowl of congee and eating it slowly with the pickled cabbage.
Not long after, Pom-Pom brought Klee and Hook, the two little ones, into the shop.
"Good morning, Brother Ye Yun, Sister Stelle, Sister March 7th, Brother Dan Heng~" Klee greeted Ye Yun and the others with full energy.
Hook also waved and said hello.
Ye Yun looked at the two little ones.
"Did you wash your face and brush your teeth?"
Klee nodded heavily.
"Yes! Little Rabbit Conductor Pom-Pom took Klee to wash!"
Hook also echoed.
"Hook washed too! Hook the Great, the Pitch-Black, is a clean person!"
Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction and served a bowl of congee to each of the two little ones.
"Come, have some congee first. The other food will take a little longer."
After placing the two little ones' congee on the table, they obediently started eating.
Stelle slurped down the congee in her bowl and ran into the kitchen to get another serving for herself.
At this moment, Ye Yun suddenly asked.
"Did you find any Stellaron clues?"
Stelle shrugged helplessly.
"No, Natasha and the others don't even know what a Stellaron is."
March 7th also looked troubled when Ye Yun asked about this.
"This time it's a bit difficult for us. There are no clues in the Underworld, and the Upper District is still wanted us. Sigh~"
Ye Yun smiled.
"Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll give you a hint. Go look for the oldest person in the Underworld. They have the clue."
Upon hearing this, the three immediately became interested.
March 7th chewed on Ye Yun's words.
"The oldest person? I get it! The older a person is, the more they know. We really haven't thought about this aspect."
Dan Heng also had a sudden realization.
"Okay, we'll go look in the Underworld after we eat. Thank you for the hint, Ye Yun."
Afterward, the three sped up their eating, drank another bowl of congee, each grabbed two freshly steamed buns, and rushed into the Teleportation Portal.
