Chapter 57: The Unrestrained Red Butterfly

Wang Hao's sudden warning instantly calmed Chongyun and Xingqiu.
As soon as the two people stopped talking, the abnormal sound that Wang Hao had heard before became obvious.

Deep in the jungle, there seemed to be the sound of fighting and some shrill screams.

"Something happened. It seems someone is being besieged by ghosts." Chongyun's face changed when he heard the voice.

This shrill scream reminded Chongyun of the evil spirits recorded in the clan's books.

Why is it recorded in books? Because Chongyun has never seen a real evil ghost.

He had a pure yang body, and before he could get close, the evil ghost turned into a little ghost and the little ghost disappeared immediately.

"It could also be a monster, but let's go and take a look." Xingqiu's expression also became serious, but there was still a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Helping others when encountering injustice is also a manifestation of chivalrous spirit.

Wang Hao nodded slightly: "Then go and take a look. Be careful not to expose yourself."

The three men, armed with weapons, cautiously approached the place where the sound came from.

……

Wuwangpo·In the dark forest,
Dozens of frightened corpses were scattered among the grass.

Shadows gathered from the black air and howled, like a hundred ghosts parading at night.

And in these howling shadows,

A big man with scarlet flames all over his body was desperately resisting these shadows.

"Damn it, how could it be leaked?"

The lieutenant looked tired, and his originally strong body was somewhat hunched, as if he had experienced great consumption.

A box is firmly controlled in his hand.

On his military belt, a scarlet gem glowed ominously, as if it was the source of the scarlet flames on his body.

"No, if this continues, I will be sucked to death by the Eye of the Sublime."

There was a hint of uneasiness and frenzy in the lieutenant's eyes.

He wanted to get away from here, but these shadowy ghosts didn't give him any chance.

Or rather, these shadows were directed at the box in his hand.

This is actually the remnants of the devil in the box causing trouble.

Another round of impact, fierce scarlet flames burst out from the lieutenant's body, this time, the hair on his forehead quickly turned pale,

Every use of the "Sublime Eye" or the Evil Eye comes at the cost of the user's life.

Although he is a lieutenant, the "Eye of the Sublime" he uses is of a higher level,
But it can't withstand long-term consumption.

A trace of despair began to appear in his heart.

……

The sounds of battle were getting closer.
Wang Hao and his two companions carefully hid in the bushes and gradually approached the battlefield.

What came into view was the lieutenant igniting the scarlet evil flame and forcing back the tide of shadows.

"This is a fierce ghost!" Chongyun looked at the shadow.

“Someone is really surrounded.” This is Xingqiu.

"Why are the Fatui here?" This is Wang Hao.

The three had very different reactions.

Chongyun and Xingqiu went up to rescue them without a second thought.

Wang Hao quickly pulled the two of them back.

"Wang Hao, saving people is more important." Xingqiu was a little dissatisfied, and Chongyun also looked at Wang Hao with some confusion.

Wang Hao hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Remember the foreigners in strange costumes that Qianyanjun and Ye Lan talked about when we were in Chenyu Valley?"

Xingqiu and Chongyun reacted and looked towards the big man with ominous flames on the battlefield.
"Is this the Fatui?"

Wang Hao nodded: "Judging from their attire, they are definitely the Fatui. These people are not good people."

[He is definitely not a good person and cannot be saved. ]

[It's okay to save them, there are pure warriors like the 9th Company among the Fatui.]

[He can use elemental power. He may be the holder of the evil eye. His status among the Fatui is not low.]

[Perhaps we can rescue him first, and then interrogate him.]

[We really need to interrogate them. The Fatui's presence here is definitely not a good thing.]

【…】

The commentators wanted to rescue the people first and then interrogate them. However, Wang Hao did not move lightly, but took Xingqiu and Chongyun to hide.

"We'll see what the situation is like and then make a decision."

Facing the Fatui, Wang Hao felt that even if he wanted to save people, he had to wait until the other party was in desperate situation and had no ability to resist before rescuing them.

However, before Wang Hao and the other two could watch for long, new changes occurred on the field.

On the battlefield where a hundred demons parade at night,
A different flame suddenly descended and ignited,
The eerie red flame ignited in the void and turned into fluttering butterflies.

The lieutenant who was surrounded by ghosts clearly felt the change, and hope burst out from his dead eyes.

The gradually dimming scarlet evil flames ignited again.

However, before he could get excited for long, a flying red flame suddenly erupted.

Not only did it envelope the surrounding ghosts, it also turned his scarlet evil flames into fuel.

It seems that this is a natural relationship.

“May those who have been entangled in bad karma and disasters, and those who have passed away without being able to endure the deep sorrow, turn into ashes in the fire, and be freed from all the misfortunes and sorrows of this turbid world.”

Along with the eerie red flames, there appeared also a girl's voice.

A solemn voice sounded in the dark forest.

It attracted the attention of the lieutenant and the hidden Wang Hao.
A girl wearing a Qiankun Tai Gua hat and holding a red cane walked out of the darkness.

【wc, peach.】

【I am Miss Walnut's dog. 】

[Tao, please look at me, Tao. ]

【The first fire A in Teyvat. 】

[It's not surprising at all that Walnut appeared at Wuwangpo. 】

[Hu Tao's tone is so serious, completely different from the one in the game.]

[Because this matter involves life and death, Hu Tao has always taken matters like the boundary between life and death very seriously.]

[Is Kurumi so strong? She ignited the shadow ghost that even the evil-eyed lieutenant couldn't deal with. ]

[Is it possible that the one who is strong is not Kurumi, but the Homa Staff in her hand. ]

【…】

In Wang Hao’s eyes, barrage of comments exploded.

Wang Hao and Xingqiu looked at each other in surprise.
Because they know Walnut.

Hu Tao also studied at Tongwen Academy for a period of time, but left a year earlier than Wang Hao and Xingqiu.

Wang Hao and Xingqiu left the academy at the age of fourteen, and Hu Tao left the academy at the age of thirteen.

Later, I heard that something happened in the Wangsheng Hall, but Wang Hao didn't go to inquire about it.

I didn't expect to meet you here today.

Moreover, the Kurumi I met again was completely different from the quirky girl I remembered.

Facing the scene of a hundred demons parading at night, the girl's eyes were full of solemnity, the Homa staff in her hand was shining brightly, and in the surrounding void, red flames ignited, igniting the shadows and finally turning them into nothingness.

"I thought something had happened, but it turns out you guys were the ones behind it."

Kurumi looked at the shadowy ghosts around her that were ignited by the evil red flames, with sadness in her eyes, and then looked at the only remaining lieutenant of the Fatui.
"It is unforgivable to disturb the rest of the deceased and to destroy the boundary between life and death."

The red cane in his hand paused, and a fiery red flame ignited on Walnut's body.
The unfettered red butterfly dances gracefully,
A beautiful yet dangerous picture appeared in the gloomy jungle.

Hearing the girl's voice, the lieutenant's hope gradually turned into panic. He understood.
This girl doesn't seem to be on his side.
On the contrary, the other party seemed to be more concerned about these shadowy ghosts shrouded in black air.

next moment,
Before the lieutenant could react,

The red staff comes with unbridled fire,

He hit him hard on the body.

The lieutenant, who had been besieged by ghosts for a long time, had no ability to resist and was shot away by Walnut.

The unrestrained red butterfly danced and landed on the fallen lieutenant.
The flames burst forth, purifying what it considered unclean.

The scarlet evil eye on the lieutenant's waist suddenly erupted, trying to resist the purifying flame.

The staff of Homa in Kurumi's hand shone brightly, and the surrounding demonic fire became more and more enchanting.

How could an evil eye possibly resist the thousand-year heritage of the Wangsheng Hall?

The unbridled fire suddenly rose higher, and the raging flames shot up into the sky, carrying the filth and flames up to the sky that could accommodate everything.

The evil eye on the lieutenant's waist made a sound of breaking glass. In an instant, the foul breath escaped from the evil eye and was then purified by the unruly fire.
