Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 890: Everything will be fine, Katsina.

As Shao Yun continued to get closer to the Sons of Echo tribe, he saw fewer and fewer people evacuating from there, and they were all in twos and threes, covered in wounds, and some even needed to be carried on stretchers.

Finally, not far from the Echo Sons tribe, Shao Yun saw Pagar.

He was sitting on the side of the road, next to him was a scarred crested dragon, which also looked like it was on its last legs.

There were cracks on the lenses of Pagar's sunglasses, which was obviously caused by a fierce battle.

Shao Yun could imagine how much serious damage Micah Bell, who was transformed from the abyss, had caused to the Echo Sons tribe.

When Shao Yun's figure appeared in his field of vision, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed across Pagar's originally gloomy expression.

He stood up quickly, waved his hands vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Shao Yun!"

Shao Yun pulled the reins, causing the Apocalypse horse "War" under his crotch to neigh, raise its front hooves high, and then stop steadily.

His eyes fell on the dusty and disheveled Pagar leader in front of him.

Shao Yun asked with concern: "What happened?"

Chief Pagar took a breath and explained simply: "The monsters in the abyss suddenly broke through our defenses and triggered a huge landslide. Many people were buried under the rocks. The situation is very critical."

"Then, a humanoid monster led a large group of monsters and rushed into the tribe. In the chaos, we could only fight and retreat at the same time, but the casualties were too great, and everything collapsed in an instant."

Shao Yun's expression became serious, and he asked, "What about Xinoning and Katsina?"

Chief Pagar turned his head and looked in the direction of the Echo Sons tribe and replied, "In short, Sinoning and Katsina volunteered to stay behind to cover the rear and delay the monsters' pursuit."

"I was supposed to meet them here, but now it's past the scheduled pick-up time."

When Shao Yun heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. He drove his Apocalypse horse "War" like an arrow and galloped towards the Sons of Echo tribe.

"Damn it, why are you still trying to be a hero at this time? No, you should focus on the overall situation!"

……

The outer defense camp of the Echo Sons tribe.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people want to vomit. The bloody smell seemed to continue to stimulate Shao Yun's olfactory nerves, reminding people that a tragic battle had taken place here.

The camp’s fences and wooden chevaux de frise had been destroyed beyond recognition. The originally solid fortifications were now only left with some broken wooden stakes and scattered stones, forming a series of shocking battle scars.

The bodies of humans and the Natalons were intertwined and lying in various corners of the camp. Some of the bodies still maintained the postures of their battles.

The blood dyed the ground red, forming small streams, which eventually converged into several blood lakes, looking extremely terrifying.

Among these corpses, some were pierced with arrows from the Hillilch people, some were chopped in half by sharp blades, and some were even cut in half. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

However, most of the soldiers died from bullets piercing their bodies, which shows that the enemy's firepower was very strong.

The entire camp was dead silent. Apart from the occasional sound of wind and the crackling of flames, no other sound could be heard.

Shao Yun silently watched the tragic scene in front of him, muttering: "Shinonen, Katsina, you two must not die..."

"Otherwise, things will be troublesome..."

At this moment, Qimali, an Echo Son warrior who was lying in a pool of blood with his life hanging by a thread, suddenly heard Shao Yun's cry.

Chimali used up the last of his strength, raised his arms with difficulty, and called out intermittently.

"Ahem... hurry up... hurry up and support... Sinoning..."

Shao Yun's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly jumped off his horse, splashing blood and mud on the ground, and rushed to the place where Qimali fell.

Shao Yun ran to Qimali, squatted down, and asked anxiously: "What happened? Where is Xinoning? Where is she?"

Kimali's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but only some unclear sounds came out of his throat.

Seeing this, Shao Yun hurriedly put his ear close to Qimali's mouth, trying to hear every word he said.

"There was a man... who brought countless monsters... who broke through our defenses when a landslide occurred in the tribe... and took advantage of our confusion... and many people... died... Let's go and provide support..."

After saying this, Qimali's head tilted suddenly, and his eyes lost the last luster.

Shao Yun looked at Qimali's eyes that were still open, slowly reached out his hand, and gently closed Qimali's eyes.

Shao Yun took a deep breath and stood up.

"I understand. I hope it's not too late..."

……

The peaceful and tranquil scene in the Echo Son tribe no longer exists. A sudden landslide has brought a devastating blow to the tribe.

The bottom of the canyon was filled in, and the iconic large drill was broken by the impact of falling rocks caused by the landslide and buried under the rocks.

The iconic music square is now buried under thick rubble.

Shao Yun rode the apocalypse horse "War" and slowly moved forward in the ruins.

The houses, squares, and everything of the Sons of Echo tribe are now in ruins.

The entire tribe was immersed in deathly silence. There was no roar of abyss monsters, nor any breath of living people.

Shao Yun rode his horse, stepping carefully on the rubble and continued moving forward.

Finally, he arrived at Sinoning's workshop.

However, Sinoning's workshop was not spared either. It was smashed beyond recognition by the falling rocks and turned into half "ruins".

Shao Yun tightened the reins and looked at the ruins in front of him.

But he still shouted towards the "ruins" of the workshop unwillingly: "Is anyone there? Katsina? Sinonin?"

His voice echoed in the empty ruins.

Originally, Shao Yun had given up any hope of finding Katsina or Sinoning. However, within five seconds after he shouted, a slight noise suddenly came from the ruins of Sinoning's workshop.

Following the noise, a stone slab was slowly pushed open, revealing a narrow hole.

Immediately afterwards, a figure struggled out of the cave.

Shao Yun looked closely and found that it was Katsina!

She was covered in dust and ashes, her originally beautiful hair had become messy, and her face was even dirtier.

Not only that, Katsina's ear was obviously injured and blood was still oozing out.

There were several deep wounds on her exposed calves and slender arms, which looked shocking.

When Shao Yun saw Kazina crawling out from under the rubble, he immediately dismounted and said in disbelief: "Kazina... I thought you were dead..."

When Kazina saw Shao Yun coming, she could no longer hold back the tears that she had been trying hard to hold back.

With tears in her eyes, she stumbled towards Shao Yun, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.

"Oh, Mr. Shao Yun, you are finally here..."

Katsina's voice became a little hoarse because of crying, and her body was shaking and convulsing constantly. It was obvious that she was extremely frightened.

After all, Katsina is still a child. No matter how much she grows up, her psychological endurance cannot be compared with that of an adult.

Shao Yun quickly squatted down, gently patted Kazina's back, and comforted her: "Don't cry, I'm here, Kazina."

"Tell me, what happened here before I came? Where is Sinoning?"

Katsina sobbed and narrated intermittently: "The disaster in the abyss caused a landslide, and many people were crushed underneath..."

"There was a humanoid abyss monster that broke through the defense line. Many people, many people died..."

"Sister Xinoning, we led him away. But many people still died. My Ayu's grandparents were killed, and Ayu was also beaten by that guy..."

Katsina's cries grew louder and louder, and her body shook with grief.

"I'm so scared. That guy killed many of my friends... Traco and Semperya were also killed to protect me, wuwu..."

Katsina's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

Shao Yun looked at Katsina, who was crying so sadly, and his heart was filled with pity and love.

What a poor little girl?

He gently stretched out his fingers, gently wiped the tears from Katsina's cheeks, and comforted her: "I'm here! Don't cry, everything will be fine."

Then, Shao Yun carefully held Kazina's armpits with both hands, and gently carried Kazina onto the horse's back like a kitten.

Katsina wiped the corners of her eyes with her arm, sniffed her sour nose, and calmed down a little.

Her voice still trembled a little as she said, "Sister Xinoning finally told me to lead that guy to Xumi."

After learning about Xinoning's movements, Shao Yun nodded to show that he understood.

Then he consoled Katsina: "Okay, I understand the situation."

"Now, all you have to do is sit on the horse and wait for me to come back. I will definitely bring Sinoning back safely!"

After that, Shao Yun turned his gaze to the Apocalypse Horse "War" under Katsina and solemnly warned:

"Listen carefully. You must protect the girl sitting on your back. Don't let her get hurt."

"I believe you have the ability. You are the Apocalypse Horse. Don't disgrace your name 'Apocalypse'! Do you understand?"

However, the Apocalypse Horse "War" snorted contemptuously, as if to say: It's just a small matter, do you need to explain it in detail? Are you underestimating me too much?

Seeing this, Shao Yun patted War's neck with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After ensuring Katsina was safe, Shao Yun refocused his attention on the road ahead.

He pulled out the Cowboy Revolver (Blessing of the Goat) in his right hand and watched the Echo Sons tribe head towards Xumi.

He narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce aura, and whispered in a low voice: "Micah, you bastard, I'm coming to you."

Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun took a big step forward, and his angry roars echoed throughout the canyon.

"Micah!"
