Chapter 12
Can I Conquer Teyvat With My Mount?

Wind Dragon Ruins.

Su Xuan sat with his legs crossed on a stone slab, feeling the wind of Mondstadt.

The wind here was really comfortable, it made one feel like falling asleep.

He opened his system and checked it. The emotion value collection was very fast.

He could already complete a ten-pull lottery.

“The shock the Hilichurl army gave them was not small.”

“I just don’t know what the current state of Mondstadt citizens is. Maybe they already resent me.”

The silence in the chat group still reflects some situation.

At this moment, the people of Teyvat felt a sense of suppressed panic.

They had not seen the dark beast tide of ancient Khaenri'ah, the horror of the mutated Hilichurls was enough to make many people feel timid.

Why?

Because they had never seen such a strange monster.

The mutated Hilichurls were not born from Su Xuan’s modification of Hilichurls.

They were simply summoned by Su Xuan through his monster summoning skill.

Their white base and interspersed pink and blue colours are a reflection of their own energy.

These Hilichurls are actually a group of monsters similar to Honkai Beasts.

Using elemental power against these monsters would definitely be insufficient.

Whether it was Jean or Diluc, their strength was not outstanding among Vision users.

Dealing with these monsters was particularly difficult.

【Congratulations, Host, you have a ten-pull lottery.】

【Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a mount.】

【Benares: Judgment-level Honkai Beast, soaring in the air in the form of a dragon, possessing the ability to change the weather, with four attributes of ice, fire, lightning, and darkness, capable of regeneration, changing size, and possessing its own independent consciousness.】

“Who! Bebe-Dragon?”

Su Xuan immediately checked with his mind.

Dark blue, white armor.

The neck and abdomen are dark blue, dotted with sky blue stripes, with four eyes.

The two giant wings are blue, the bone structure is white, and the claws and wing membranes are sky blue.

It looks exactly like Bebe-Dragon.

Su Xuan hurriedly flipped through the lottery records, hoping to find something like a simulacrum of the Herrscher Core.

Then Benares would be able to transform into Bella directly?

Unfortunately, the remaining rewards were either combat experience, or improvements in physique, energy, and stamina, as well as some daily necessities.

“But such rewards are already very good.”

Su Xuan raised his hand in satisfaction and snapped his fingers.

A black vortex spun at his feet.

Benares, whose size was like a mountain, slowly rose from the vortex.

“Get smaller.” Su Xuan ordered.

“As you command, my master.” Benares’ deep, ethereal voice echoed.

The next second, it controlled its size to about ten meters.

Su Xuan jumped onto Benares and lay down directly.

Benares instinctively lay down on the ground.

“This is much more comfortable than lying on a stone slab.”

He looked up at the sky. It was still early before dusk.

The rest of the time, of course, was to continue harvesting the emotional values of the people of Teyvat.

【It has been a few days since the last time Mondstadt was burned.】

【During these few days, Jean has not slept a single night peacefully.】

【Whenever she falls asleep, she dreams of those terrifying white Hilichurls.】

【“Lady Vennessa, may your gaze upon Mondstadt remain clear.”】

【“Protect Mondstadt from external enemies.”】

【In the heart of the Windrise, there stands a huge oak tree.】

【Underneath the oak tree, Jean kneels on one knee, her hands resting on the hilt of her sword.】

【She is devoutly praying in her heart.】

【This oak tree is the one that grew when Vennessa ascended to the Sky Islands.】

【A divine tree that has stood for a thousand years.】

【Whenever Jean feels exhausted both physically and mentally, she will come alone to pray.】

【The breeze blows across her face, as if comforting the exhausted Jean.】

【That night, she rushed back to Mondstadt, only to find that everyone’s faces were covered in soot.】

【Only after Kaeya’s description did she learn everything.】

【Those hateful mutated Hilichurls actually set Mondstadt on fire.】

【Fortunately, there were still people with Hydro Vision in the city, like Mona and Barbara, and with the help of Lumine and others, they put out the fire that was about to burn out in the shortest possible time.】

【Shame! When has the Knights of Favonius suffered such humiliation?】

【First there was the Dragon Calamity, then the invasion of the Abyss Order, and then at night, Mondstadt was set on fire by a group of white Hilichurls.】

【The Knights of Favonius, after sacrificing several knights and seriously injuring several others, only knew that the Abyss Order was behind this incident.】

【No substantial problems were solved.】

【For a time, the emotions of the people of Mondstadt intensified.】

【Jean, as the acting Grand Master of Mondstadt, bears a burden that ordinary people cannot understand.】

【After finishing her prayer, she looked into the distance.】

【After staring for a long time, she said with guilt, “Amber, I hope we can find useful intelligence this time.”】

【“You must also be careful.”】

【Rustle, rustle...】

【A pair of red rabbit ears peek out from the grass on the cliff.】

【Then, Amber’s head popped out, looking towards the cave below the cliff.】

【Her expression changed drastically.】

【“Those bad guys, I finally found them.”】

【In front of the cave, Hilichurls were emerging one after another.】

【Their size and appearance were the same as the Hilichurls Amber had seen before, with white armor and pink and blue dots.】

【“But only by entering the cave can I know the truth.”】

【Amber fell into thought.】

“No! It’s too dangerous, Amber.”

Jean’s anxious voice came from the Knights of Favonius headquarters office.

Amber hurriedly said, “Grand Master Jean, I’m here.”

Seeing Amber right in front of her, Jean finally let out a sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxing slightly.

“Jean...” Lisa looked at Jean with worry.

Paimon and Lumine exchanged glances and sighed.

If this continues, they are really worried that Grand Master Jean’s spirit will break down.

She is too nervous.

“Jean, don’t be so nervous.”

Lisa comforted her close friend gently.

She knows Jean’s character very well, she is honest and responsible, and has a stronger sense of responsibility than anyone else.

She knows even better the psychological pressure Jean bears.

“Isn’t Ms. Alice coming back soon?”

“Eula and the others will definitely pay attention to everything around Mondstadt after seeing these exposures.”

“Moreover, it’s not your responsibility alone to deal with the Fifth Descender, all forces across Teyvat will take action.”

After listening to Lisa’s persuasion.

Jean’s heart finally settled down a lot.

“Ms. Alice will be back, and Mondstadt will be safe.” Jean forced a smile.

“That’s right, Ms. Alice is so powerful, all she needs to do is throw a bomb into the cave and bury all these Hilichurls.” Amber followed with a smile.

【Rustle, rustle...】

【The sound of the grass rubbing against clothes startled Amber.】

【She immediately looked to her side, only to find that a handsome young man had appeared beside her at some point.】

【“Have you also found these strange Hilichurls?”】

【The young man asked suspiciously.】

【Amber instantly became vigilant. “Who are you?”】

“Ah! How could it be him?” Paimon exclaimed.

Lumine also widened her eyes.

Their unusual behavior instantly caught the attention of Jean and the others.

Lisa immediately asked, “Why are you two reacting so dramatically? Do you know the young man in the screen?”

Paimon and Lumine nodded.

Paimon said excitedly, “Yes, his name is Su Xuan, we met him before coming to Mondstadt, and he even treated me and Lumine to the wild boar he grilled.”

“Wow, his wild boar grilling skills are really amazing, I’m drooling again.”
