Chapter 257 The Real and Fake Qiuhe
Seeing that Yura and Amber were already at the edge of the platform, Falid slowly moved a step, as if he already knew what would happen next and was ready to rush over at any moment.
After Akikawa finished speaking, a force gradually traveled from Yura and Amber's shoulders throughout their bodies, and Yura felt this force...
Their pupils slowly dilated, and their bodies began to lean backward. Fa Liande was also eager to try. Suddenly, a tremendous explosion erupted from the summit of Dragonspine Snow Mountain, instantly echoing throughout the entire mountain.
Everyone present was startled by the explosion. When they all turned to look at the sky above the snow-capped mountain, they were shocked to discover...
A dark purple orb of light rapidly rose into the sky from the mountaintop. Faliande stared at the fireball, his eyes darting around like camera lenses, emitting a distinct red glow.
Faliande's vision expanded several times over, as if he had eyes that could see a thousand miles. Finally, he discovered that, following the dark purple sphere of light rising from the mountaintop...
It was actually Qiuhe! And that so-called blackish-purple orb of light was the energy emanating from Qiuhe's body. "Eh?" Fa Liande stood there dumbfounded.
Silently watching as Qiuhe ascended to a certain distance in the sky, he stopped rising, and the dark purple energy enveloping his body slowly dissipated.
Then, a dazzling burst of fire erupted from Qiuhe's body, after Qiuhe crossed his arms in front of him and gathered his strength for a while!
A few specks of white light flashed in the air for a moment, and the surging flames on Qiuhe's body instantly exploded, radiating endless light and heat, just like the sun in the sky.
As if crashing into Teyvat, the light grew even more dazzling. Everyone standing halfway up the mountain was so blinded by the light that they instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes and closed them tightly.
As the intense heat and the blinding light slowly dissipated, the group opened their eyes. The scene before them left them frozen in place.
The dark clouds that had perpetually shrouded Longji Snow Mountain had vanished, leaving only a clear blue sky. But what truly astonished everyone was...
This vast, white snow-covered mountain was now completely devoid of any visible snowflakes; the entire peak had become just an ordinary mountain.
There was no sign of snow at all. At this moment, Qiuhe, who was still high in the sky, had lost the flames on his body, and scanned the entire mountain range like a hawk.
Finally, it was discovered that Yura, Amber, Navia, Clarin, and Falcon were all currently in the same spot where the avalanche had occurred.
But after Qiuhe observed carefully, his eyes widened. Yura and Amber were standing on the edge of the abandoned building platform.
Beside them stood a person who looked exactly like Qiuhe. Upon seeing this, Qiuhe's energy erupted once more.
With a dive, in the blink of an eye, Qiuhe had already exceeded the speed of light by five million kilometers per second, like an arrow piercing the clouds.
He shot towards Qiuhe, who was standing next to Yura and Amber, at high speed. The instant he shot off, a massive sonic boom echoed in the sky, and a long, dark purple streak followed him as he hurtled towards the ground.
Before anyone could even react, Qiuhe had already reached the fake Qiuhe in a fraction of a second. He flipped through the air once...
In an instant, a kick, as powerful as a thunderbolt, struck the fake Qiuhe squarely in the face, shattering his skull instantly. The entire skull...
It was also accompanied by an extremely exaggerated angle, pulling backwards, and his neck, like a boneless noodle, gradually cracked along his throat.
Qiuhe gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage. He stepped on the fake Qiuhe's face and, like a meteorite striking Teyvat, slammed him into the bottom of the cliff with a deafening crash, sending plumes of smoke billowing from the base of the mountain.
When the smoke cleared, the fake Qiuhe was now lying on his back with his feet in the air, his body taut, his upper body dented into the ground by Qiuhe's stomp.
Around Qiuhe, a large crater resembling the aftermath of a massive meteorite impact was left, and Qiuhe struggled to pull his foot out of the ground.
He manipulated the magic within him and vanished from his spot, appearing the next second beside Yura and Amber. "Yura, Amber, are you two hurt?"
"Did Qiuhe do anything to you just now?" Seeing Qiuhe gripping his shoulders with a worried expression, and hearing his anxious voice filled with concern,
Yura gradually came to her senses. "I...I'm fine." "Me too. I'm fine." Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Qiuhe also breathed a sigh of relief.
Navia quickly ran to the platform and hugged Qiuhe tightly. "Brother Leyi, why did you disappear all of a sudden?"
"And did you see that beam of light that just shot this way? What was that?" Clearly, Qiuhe was moving incredibly fast.
No one at the scene knew what had just happened; the only thing they knew was that a long streak of purple light shot towards Qiu He, and then he vanished from the spot as if by magic.
And then, after a loud bang and thick smoke at the foot of the mountain, Qiuhe reappeared in their sight. Qiuhe recounted how he had been searching for them.
Everyone then realized that the Qiuhe that had just appeared was an imposter; the real Qiuhe had been searched almost the entire snow-capped mountain, but they couldn't find a trace of her.
Ultimately, Qiuhe even considered completely leveling the entire snow mountain, but then thought that might harm Navia and the others.
He then controlled the energy within his body to melt the entire snow mountain. Knowing what had happened before, the group felt incredibly fortunate. "Alright, I think this snow mountain journey..."
That's enough for now, let's go back.
"Oh, are we going back now? But I already..."
"Navia, you have to listen to Brother Leyi this time. It's too dangerous here. Nobody knows if what happened just now will happen again."
Moreover…” Qiuhe paused here, glancing at Faliande without him noticing. “Nobody knows that the fake me just now…”
"Could it just be a puppet controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes?" Seeing Qiuhe's resolute attitude, Navia knew there was no room for negotiation.
"Ok."
"Wait a minute. Haha. It's not too late yet, we can still continue our adventure. And look... this..."
"Farende, I think this adventure should come to an end. You should know about the threats everyone has faced, right? If you continue to be so stubborn and play this so-called adventure..."
"I'm sorry, we can't keep you company any longer." Qiuhe said, taking Navia and Yura's hands, while Yura also grabbed Amber's hand.
After calling out to Clarin, the group headed down the mountain path. Amber kept looking back at Falcon, who, seeing this, caught up with them.
"Oh dear, Brother Qiuhe, don't be angry. I just saw that Sister Navia still seemed like she wanted to take risks, and I thought I'd try to persuade you since she was upset. I didn't mean to abandon everyone to their own safety."
"Huh? Is that so? Alright then. I'll teach you a piece of advice now. When faced with a difficult choice, remember to cut your losses in time. I've come all this way with Navia and the other girl."
I promised to play with Navia. But... I'm also responsible for taking good care of them. In my eyes, their safety is my top priority!
Hearing Qiuhe's unquestionable tone, Fa Liande quickly smiled and nodded. "Yes, yes, of course I understand what Brother Qiuhe means."
"I didn't think this through. I... I'll be more careful next time." Hearing this, Qiuhe's eyes twitched with anxiety, like a complex knot.
In fact, when he was searching for the group, Qiuhe had tried using the Void Rift Interlocking Technique to sense their auras, but the result was unbelievable.
He sensed the locations of all life forms on the snow-capped mountain, but he couldn't find Navia and her three companions, including the Falcon, who didn't exist in the game.
And the unfamiliar heavy armor, and Fa Liande's eagerness to lead the group to the snow mountain—when these things are connected...
Qiuhe had also noticed something amiss, but not being entirely certain, he refrained from making any rash moves. Why would the other party create a fake version of himself, and why did they bring several people to the snow mountain?
These matters are still unresolved, and Navia, holding hands with Qiuhe, looks at Qiuhe's worried and thoughtful expression.
And his somewhat serious tone just now led Navia to mistakenly believe that Qiuhe was angry because of her willfulness.
