Chapter 263: 2 Strategies Synchronized
The scorching sun at noon went a short distance to the west. Three hours had passed since the caravan had been fighting with the treasure-stealing group. At this moment, Ye Li, who was sent to the carriage to rest due to his injury, looked helplessly at Yao Yao who was holding the lunch box and intending to feed him, and said:
"Yaoyao, my brother's hand is just scratched. You can come and get the bowl to eat by yourself. There is no need to do this."
"No, Brother Ye Li was injured to protect me and Master. Besides, you are the injured now, so I should help take care of you."
Seeing Yaoyao refusing to let go, Ye Li had no choice but to look to Grandma Ping for help, but all he saw was an old woman laughing, with no intention of coming to help at all.
Ye Li was speechless and could only say that this was the result of his own doing. In order to make his acting realistic and inconspicuous enough, he forced himself to inflict the wounds on his body. In addition, as an ordinary person with a lot of kung fu skills and the help of immortal power, it was normal for him to suffer minor injuries under the siege of more than 50 people.
Now he has restrained his aura and is no different from that of an ordinary person. Even Morax would have to stare at him for five or six hours if he wanted to detect any clues, and Granny Ping could not see through his disguise.
In addition to his own face, Ye Li was very sure that Grandma Ping would not let him suffer any loss, otherwise Grandma Ping would not have used her magical power to help everyone present end the battle as soon as possible when the situation was already a crushing one.
Grandma Ping looked at Ye Li, who was in an awkward situation in front of her, and couldn't stop smiling happily. After all, it was really a pleasure to see the awkward look on the face that looked like an old friend.
Recalling the appearance of the old friend in her mind, Grandma Ping's smile faded. She looked at the scenery outside the window, and her consciousness returned to the scene a thousand years ago.
Just as Grandma Ping was looking out the window and reminiscing about the past, Ye Li finally persuaded Yaoyao to calm down. He successfully took the lunch box from her little hand, picked up the chopsticks and started eating lunch.
After the fighting in the morning and afternoon, many participants in the caravan were starving like wolves and tigers. The sound of chewing and the clinking of chopsticks filled the entire caravan.
Time passed quickly, and as night fell, the caravan came to a small river to rest and regroup. The caravan member in charge of cooking also began to call for helpers to prepare the ingredients, and Yaoyao also went over to help.
At this moment, many parents in the caravan who brought their children out to see the world looked at Yaoyao, who was so well-behaved, sensible, and hardworking. They not only compared her with their own children, but also felt a sense of shame and helplessness all over their bodies. They looked at the confused children behind them with a look that said, "You kid should do better."
Ye Li looked at this strange yet familiar scene, and bad memories of his past life flashed through his mind. He could only complain helplessly in his heart:
"Alas, no matter where you go, the competition will never end. This is also an inevitability in civilization."
Seeing Yaoyao working hard to carry the ingredients, Ye Li felt it was not appropriate to just sit there and planned to get up and go to help. However, just as he was about to sit up, some kind of fluctuation coming from the inner world attracted his attention.
It’s strange. It should have been less than a month, but Buyer contacted me so anxiously. Could it be that that thing is about to happen?
Ye Li had no choice but to give up the idea of helping Yaoyao. He sat up and walked towards the grove.
After saying hello to the caravan, Ye Li quickly went into the grove. Grandma Ping, who was observing Ye Li from a distance, did not follow him. Although she was curious about Ye Li's identity, Grandma Ping, who respected others, did not force him to ask and let everything take its course.
On the other side, Ye Li, who had already quickly stepped on the branches of trees to perform light skills, came to a hilltop and sat cross-legged. The slightly mobilized elemental force in his body, with the supplement of the surrounding elemental force, quickly communicated with the world of inner heaven and earth, and his consciousness was instantly transferred.
……
In the main time and space, on the continent of Teyvat, in the Pure Palace of Sumeru.
No. 4 Ye Li held the Tang sword in his hand and looked at the desert seriously, saying in a deep tone:
"Amon is really working too hard. He has been absorbing forbidden knowledge for 30 years. He is trying to destroy Apep."
"After all, Apep's strength is obvious to all. He once fought alongside the Dragon King in the Primordial Expedition. Amon has to pay careful attention to him."
"But Apep could make this choice knowing that she might be deceived. I dare not imagine how arrogant she will be when she truly masters the forbidden knowledge. However, this is basically difficult to accomplish."
"Speculations are speculations, but the next disaster to be dealt with is our main goal. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Facing Buyer's question, No. 4 Ye Li turned his head and looked at him, spreading his hands, with dead eyes on his expressionless face, and said:
"The method I can provide is for you and I to work together to purify the pollution caused by the forbidden knowledge and control it within a very small area of the desert to prevent the rain forest from being affected."
"But this is a plan we can all think of. Although it is simple and direct and feasible, it is still a bit slow in efficiency."
"Then you can go ask the original body. Maybe his plan will give you different ideas."
"I have no choice but to do this, even though it will disturb him in the long river of time."
Buyer looked solemnly at the terrible power coming from the direction of the desert. She had not been in contact with Ye Li for 30 years. She finally mobilized her connection with the inner world and began to connect with the distant river of time. She successfully connected with Ye Li who had recovered a large amount of elemental power.
……
In the woods cabin in the inner world, Ye Li listened carefully to Buyer's story and said with a slight headache:
"This is troublesome. Because of our influence, Amon has absorbed much more forbidden knowledge than I expected. The only way to effectively solve the problem, besides working together to purify it, is to take all the forbidden knowledge that appears later on ourselves and then purify it from within."
"But forbidden knowledge is inextricably linked to the abyss. Even though I have considered your plan, the risk is too great."
"After all, you want to drown the abyss of the throne of God, an existence that even Heaven fears very much. Even if you have great power to defeat Heaven, it will take time to purify the forbidden knowledge."
After half an hour of conversation, Ye Li and Buyer finalized the plan.
"For now, we will proceed with the two plans simultaneously. My avatar will be responsible for absorbing the forbidden knowledge, and you will be responsible for helping with the purification behind the scenes. If anything unexpected happens, notify the avatars in other regions as soon as possible. They will arrive as quickly as possible."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'd like to ask you to spend some of your limited elemental power in the long river of time to come and discuss countermeasures."
A trace of apology appeared on Buyer's face. She was indeed a little embarrassed for disturbing Ye Li who was struggling to survive in the long river of time.
"Don't be so formal. We are all family. I have now escaped the shackles of the long river of time due to an accident."
"Really?" Buyer asked with some joy.
"Of course it's true, and the world I came to is also one of the possibilities for Teyvat's future. It's just that the intelligence hasn't been thoroughly investigated, so we have to observe and see."
"That's great. I thought you would drift in the river of time for hundreds of years. Now with the help of sufficient elemental power over there, you will be able to come back much earlier."
Putting his palms on his chest and heaving a sigh of relief, the worry on Buyer's face disappeared, and he was happy that Ye Li had escaped from the river of time by accident.
"Okay, I have a time limit. If I don't go back soon, someone will notice me. I won't stay any longer."
Ye Li looked at Buyer who had regained his indifferent smile, waved goodbye, and his whole figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the inner world, leaving Buyer alone in the cabin looking at the cup of tea that had been brewed for the conversation on the table.
Looking at the half-empty cup of tea in front of him, Buyer calmly picked it up and drank it, as if he was used to this kind of operation. He didn't blush or feel shy at all, and said with a raised corner of his mouth:
"What a busy idiot. He ran away in the middle of his tea and needed my help to clean up."
