"This... can we really walk away?" Yu Jin came to the river and tried the driftwood floating on the water with his feet.
It's ok, it's tied quite tightly.
Ember bounced back and forth among the driftwood, and soon he came to the other side of the river.
Looking at the water dripping from his leg armor, Ember pulled out a huge insect jaw-like weapon.
Star Beast Half Jaw——A large, hard half jaw of a fallen star beast that emits a black glow. An item that transforms the half jaw into a weapon. An extremely large weapon that pierces the enemy with its sharp tip.
The curved and ferocious jaw is the blade of this weapon, and the shiny black gums are its handle.
The whole weapon looked like half the jaw of a giant ant. This was indeed the case. Yu Jin saw that the teeth of the Falling Star Beast were good, so he directly plucked out its mouthparts and kept them as a collection.
Yu Jin was seen holding up the half jaw of the star beast with one hand. As he lifted it upwards, lavender lightning shot out from the half jaw and struck the river.
Exclusive combat skill - Gravity Lightning: Allow the star beast Half Jaw to store gravity lightning, and use it to summon thunderbolts from a distance.
The lavender thunder did not bring about an explosion, but rather sharp stalagmites protruding from the ground.
The stalagmites stretch out into a stone line, spanning the river.
Yu Jin looked at the intercepted water flow and knew that these long stalagmites would need his carving if they were to become a bridge.
However, before he could take any action, someone had already come to help him.
"boom!"
An explosion sounded, and big holes were blown into the stalagmites that Yu Jin had summoned casually.
He looked at the dancing Hillichels behind the big hole, and finally understood why no one had repaired the bridge.

"boom!"
A roar louder than the explosion of the fire slime was heard, and a hill camp on the original shore of Guili suddenly flew into the sky.
Ember walked out of the fire with his hands in his pockets, looking gloomy. Well, actually, there were no pockets, because his armor didn't have any pockets at all.
Feeling the weak soul flowing into his body from the sky, Ember shook his head.
The Hillichul race is a bit miserable in every aspect.
However, the hill people here are not only transformed from Kanreya people. After the death of more hill people, their breath will seep into the earth.
They were the hillbillies who were created by the earth veins. After they died, they would return to the earth veins and then wake up in some unknown corner. It was also a kind of reincarnation.
So Yu Jin gave up the idea of repairing the bridge. Firstly, this place was full of ruins and rarely visited by people; secondly, the monsters were impossible to eliminate, so it would be useless to repair the bridge.
In fact, it is still possible to prevent monsters from appearing on this land, and that is to burn the veins under the earth.
But by that time, it will be hard to say whether there will be more advantages or disadvantages.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin stopped thinking about it.
He looked up at the golden grass and ruins everywhere in front of him. It was a completely different scenery from Mondstadt.
Liyue seemed to have experienced some major migration, and Guiliyuan was the old site where the people of Liyue lived.
But those were all past events, and had nothing to do with the current embers. At most, he could only sigh about the former glory of this place.
Guiliyuan is almost the only way for Mondstadt to enter Liyue. The road here is naturally much wider, and pedestrians can be seen on the road.
Because Yu Jin passed by Guiliyuan when he rushed to rescue Catherine, he was somewhat familiar with this place.
After going around a mountain, the scenery in front of us suddenly opened up. The ears that originally only heard the breeze were now filled with the sounds of many horns.
Liyue, second time here.
Ember looked down at the huge port city below, which was much more prosperous than Mond. His gaze ranged from near to far, from low to high.
A bridge with carvings of dragons and phoenixes, a wide variety of stalls, pavilions with high eaves, and...huge flesh-red flowers.
"Has Hua Liyue not been eliminated yet?" Yu Jin complained when he saw the big flower that was a head taller than the other buildings.
How long has this thing been here? Why hasn't Liyue gotten rid of it yet?
Is it because the power of corruption is too strong? Or do you simply think the flower is beautiful?
Yu Jin looked at the huge blooming bud from afar, and that was it. Anyway, it was really just a big meat flower, and since there was no corruption spreading, Yu Jin didn't bother to care about it.
It is said that this flower also spread rumors about the lady and the rich man. I don’t know how these two guys felt about it.
But they probably didn't dare to think too much about it. The rich should be practicing eating with their left hands. As for the lady, the embers would shake three times when they were poked there.
"Liyue, here I come again!"
After a ghostly cry, Yu Jin ran towards the prosperous Liyue Harbor in a hurry.
……
After passing through the magnificent Feiyunpo and crossing the bridge, Yujin arrived at Chihuyan, and then he stopped.
"hiss……"
Next to the Yanshang Tea House, Yu Jin's face almost reached into the counter, leaving Chu Yi with no way to retreat.
"Girl, why do you look familiar to me?" Yu Jin retracted his head, took a few steps back, and looked at the big words "Yanshang Tea House" on the sign.
It seems that the enemy is inside the Seven Stars.
Is he, Yu Jin, going to transform into a messenger of justice on the first day he arrives in Liyue?
Chu Yi looked at the ashes in front of him that looked like they had walked out of a Mond storybook, and felt like crying but had no tears.
She was deeply impressed by this guy. Of course, how could she not be impressed? He directly stripped her former boss naked and hung him at the door, and the key point was that the evidence of his crime was also stuck on his butt.
Chu Yi was very scared of such guys.
"Brother...Brother. We are now doing serious business." Chu Yi gave a dry laugh. She was afraid that Yu Jin would get excited and hang her out as well.
If that were the case, Chu Yi felt that he might as well just die.
"Serious business?" Yu Jin glanced at the man and woman who were slowly walking out from behind the gate, and was very unconvinced.
The calluses on those two people's hands are not something ordinary people have.
"Yes... yes! Let's do serious business." Chu Yi winked at Ji Ya and the other man, signaling them not to act rashly.
Chu Yi knew that there was always a group of people in black robes hiding around Yu Jin!
"Okay, I believe it." Yu Jin nodded, but in fact he didn't believe it at all.
Now I just want to paralyze these people. When I find evidence against them, I will send them directly to jail.
This time, he wants to see who is secretly protecting him! For the sake of Liyue's peace, Yu Jin feels that he must find out the black sheep!
Thinking of this, Yu Jin couldn't help but sigh. If the black knife was still there, would it be necessary to go through so much trouble?
Just move your fingers and bring the person and the evidence. If he still tries to argue, just stuff the evidence into his mouth.
"Phew! Thank you for this..."
"ember."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu Jin trusts us. We are definitely doing a legitimate business." Chu Yi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
If Yu Jin really got to the bottom of it, she probably wouldn't know how to explain it.
Ever since this place was bought by the new owner, everything inside the Yanshang Tea House has become mysterious.
Her new boss is also extremely mysterious. Chu Yi has only seen him a few times since she started working.
Moreover, everything in the Yanshang Tea House has become much more sensitive.
[The new boss's intelligence center!] Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this. Was she also considered half of Liyue's intelligence personnel?
When Chu Yi came to his senses, he found that the embers had disappeared long ago.
And the two Ji Ya behind the gate also came to Chu Yi's side.
"Hmph! Who is that guy?" Ji's voice was as rough as his big hands.
"Huh? Yes, you are so afraid of him, don't you believe in our strength?" Ya also said.
Although she and Ji do not have the Eye of God, they were chosen by Ye Lan to be bodyguards here, so their strength should not be underestimated.
"You don't understand." Chu Yi looked at the two generals in front of him, resisting the urge to complain about their bad manners, and waved his hand and said, "Do you know about the incident of hanging people in the Yanshang Teahouse?"
"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it." Jiya and the other two nodded. The former owner and thug of Yanshang Teahouse was hung on the main door beam. This incident is still talked about by the people of Liyue.
"That's what he did." Chu Yi's tone was somewhat helpless. She had seen strong men before, but this was the first time she had seen a strong man with such "special features".
"Huh! Is that so?"
"Huh? Looks like he's really strong."
Ji Ya and the other man looked at the direction where the embers disappeared, and were somewhat glad that they did not act on impulse.
……
"Catherine, I'm back in Liyue!"
In the Liyue Adventurer's Association, Catherine was watching the passers-by with a smile on her face.
In a trance, a familiar iron hand appeared in front of the counter, which surprised Catherine a little.
Although Mondstadt himself said that Ember might come to Liyue soon, Catherine did not expect it to happen so soon!
"Mr. Ember, so fast!" Catherine's mouth corners raised even more, and there was a hint of surprise on her face.
"Are you still not aware of my strength?" Yu Jin gestured with his muscles and said confidently.
"Yes, Mr. Ember is a great adventurer." Catherine thought of the notice sent from the association headquarters some time ago, and asked curiously.
"Ah~, it's just an empty title." Yu Jin waved his hands. The title of great adventurer was beyond his expectations.
Moreover, if we take his titles seriously, the Great Adventurer is probably the least prominent one.
"So, Mr. Yu Jin, are you here to take a commission?" After a few brief greetings, Catherine got down to business.
"Of course, accept the commission called 'Farewell to the Long-Ago Body'." Yu Jin nodded and said with a little anticipation.
