Chapter 386 Apo Kelie!
"Don't slander me!"
"I am a wise and powerful man, how could I roll down the mountain..."
Seeing everyone looking at him because of Ganyu's words, Liu Bai quickly refuted, but his confidence lacked at the end.
"Well...if it's Liu Shazi, it seems reasonable."
Paimon stroked his chin with one hand and thought for a while, and felt that what Ganyu said was quite reasonable.
"Little Paizi, you actually doubted me!"
Liu Bai looked at Paimeng in disbelief.
"... Phew, forget it, it's almost time to practice, I'll leave first."
Ganyu didn't intend to continue talking about the topic of rolling down the mountain. After exhaling, she explained to everyone and turned around and left.
"So I should go back and submit my mission. See you next time, ally."
Watching Ganyu leave, Liu Bai remembered that he had not completed his daily commission yet, so he immediately reached out and touched Ruoli's head, said goodbye to her, and prepared to run away.
"Are you leaving just like that? Why don't you stay and help me copy it a few times? It's fun to copy it! Come on, copy it with me!"
Seeing Liu Bai turn around and run, Ruoli rushed over and hugged Liu Bai's thighs tightly. She was fed up with sitting in front of the stone table and copying the Liyue Code over and over again.
"I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want to do my homework!"
Liu Bai shook his head like a rattle in resistance, pulled his legs out of Ruoli's arms and ran away quickly.
Ruoli wanted to chase after him, but after she took a few steps, Shen He grabbed her collar from behind and lifted her into the air.
"Master, I will take her back to copy it first."
"Okay, then you go first, I will chat with them later."
Shen He explained to Master Liuyun Jiefeng, and after Master Liuyun Jiefeng responded, he took Ruoli back to the stone table.
On the other hand, Liu Bai did not rush back to Liyue Harbor to submit the mission after leaving Aozang Mountain.
Today, he was thinking about testing the skills that he received as a system reward after defeating Osel some time ago when he went out.
So he came all the way to the area around Nantianmen.
It was here that he picked up Ruoli, but at that time she was still called Ajiu.
After losing the Fulong tree, the remaining pit here has been filled in, and the place has risen up to form a large bulging mound of earth.
However, Liu Bai noticed that it was not attracted by the mound of earth, but by the densely packed little ants on it.
He leaned in closer to take a closer look and discovered that there were actually two different nests of ants fighting. One kind of black ants was as big as rice grains and had two jaws with huge, strong and powerful jaws. The other group of ants, although numerous, were much smaller, and the ants with two jaws could easily take on a whole group.
Under the attack of the big ant, the small ant was defeated step by step. Liu Bai then discovered that the small ant's cave was right in the center of this mound of earth, or in other words, the entire mound of earth and the underground was the small ant's home.
It was obvious that the group of big ants were invading the group of small ants.
Just as the big ant was about to break into the small ant's nest, an accident suddenly happened again.
There used to be a strong residual power here. Although the ants could not absorb it, it was still beneficial to them. Among the small ants that were naturally inferior to the big ants, some ants with orange and yellow stripes on their backs were born. These special small ants could compete with the big ants and helped the ant colony to defend the entrance to the cave for a while.
But this special kind of ants is rare and not invincible. The ant nest may be conquered soon.
"Poor little ant, I just wanted to find a place to try out my skills..."
Seeing two groups of ants fighting for territory, Liu Bai muttered something to himself, then stretched out a hand towards the sky above the mound.
"Apocalypse!"
[Apocalypse Pearl: After using this skill, you can summon the Apocalypse Pearl to enhance combat capabilities within the range of holy light. The extent of the enhancement depends on the user's own physical strength.]
As Liu Bai raised his hand, a sacred bead of light condensed at his fingertips and floated into the air.
To the group of ants on the mound, the bead of light is no less than a new sun.
While releasing the skill, Liu Bai listed all the small ant colonies as friendly forces. Only in this way could the effect of this skill be effective on them.
Then, under the shining holy light of the Pearl of Light, the small ants that were originally retreating and struggling to guard outside the cave suddenly burst out with terrifying power, and rushed out in an instant like bullets fired from a gun, smashing all the big ants with just the impact.
The force of their crawling even left plowing marks on the surface of the earth mound, and in an instant the whole group of ants went crazy.
They didn't know what was happening, but any random movement would unleash terrifying power. The moment they touched their companions, their companions would fly dozens of meters away, completely out of the ants' sight.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire ant nest was completely dismantled and turned into dust because of their "movement". The scattered ants crawled around and destroyed the grass into a mess, raising billowing dust.
"I see. The amount of energy injected does not affect the increased ability value, but only affects the coverage range..."
Seeing the violent scene of the little ants, Liu Bai was shocked and quickly came to a conclusion.
This skill requires one to provide energy from the self, similar to "Selfless Sword Qi", so Liu Bai deliberately reduced the energy injection in order to prevent the ants from becoming too strong, but the result was beyond his expectations.
He immediately raised his hand and tried to inject more power, and found that the bead of light in the air became bigger and flew higher, and the range covered by the holy light also expanded.
But the little ants did not become stronger, which proved his guess.
Seeing that the crazy little ants were about to plow the surrounding land, Liu Bai turned off this skill and took back the bead of light in the air.
After Liu Bai released the Pearl of Revelation, the ants that were still running at high speed lost their defensive capabilities provided by the Pearl of Light. In an instant, their bodies were torn into pieces due to the huge speed, or they crashed into other objects and turned into powder.
At this point, the two nests of ants fighting for territory are gone.
Just like that, after testing his newly acquired skills, Liu Bai returned to Liyue Harbor with satisfaction. He then went to the Adventurer's Association to submit the task and handed over the immortal.
After completing the task, Liu Bai bought some food on the way home.
"Girl~Come out quickly, I brought you two duck heads~"
"?"
As soon as Liu Bai entered the room, he shouted into the house, and Nashida, who was in the kitchen, immediately poked her head out.
When she saw the braised duck head in Liu Bai's hand, she retracted her head.
"Eh? Why did you go back? Girl, don't you like eating duck heads?"
Seeing that Nashida's head had retracted again, Liu Bai immediately trotted out of the kitchen.
"Eh?"
When he came to the kitchen, Liu Bai found a huge cake taller than a person.
“What a huge cake!”
"Is it your birthday today, girl?"
Seeing the big cake in the kitchen, Liu Bai couldn't help but ask Nashida, who was wearing an apron and a chef's hat.
"No."
Nashida seemed very satisfied with the big cake in front of her, but after putting her hands on her hips, she shook her head and answered Liu Bai's question.
"Remember when we first came to Liyue, it was exactly one week or two weeks after the Immortal Invitation Ceremony?"
"Today is exactly one year since then, which is also the one year anniversary of our acquaintance."
Then Nashida explained to Liu Bai.
She was originally brought back to Winterfell by Liu Bai, but in order to prevent others from missing her, Liu Bai took her to Liyue Harbor the next day.
It was at that time that he accidentally rolled down the mountain to the foot of the mountain and fell in front of Ganyu who was passing by.
Under normal circumstances, with his strength, he wouldn't have fallen so smoothly, but at that time he was in distress. Would it be unethical to charge the "hostages" for food?
