Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1268 Daines Reeb in a Slightly Disheveled State

He originally wanted to tell Paimon about how Skylark had been injured by the Vicious Riders during the day and how he was worried that his disheveled appearance would cause trouble for everyone, so that Paimon would also understand the reason behind it.

But just as Shao Yun finished speaking, Silky suddenly looked towards the outside and interrupted him warily, "Wait a minute, is it foggy outside?"

Shao Yun was taken aback by her sudden reaction and turned to look at the window following her gaze.

Looking out through the clean glass window, sure enough, a thick fog had quietly enveloped the outside, making it impossible to see anything outside the ranch; visibility was extremely low.

"Could it be that the steam from the dinner table is blowing onto the window and making us see things incorrectly?"

Shao Yun subconsciously suggested a possibility. After all, the food on the table was still steaming, and perhaps the moisture condensed on the glass, creating the illusion of fogging.

Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately flew to the window, wiped the glass with his little hand, looked carefully outside, then shook his head and said with certainty:

"No, no! I just wiped the glass, it's not a problem with the heat!"

"Besides, we're eating a meal, not a hot pot that's bubbling and steaming in Liyue. Where would we get so much steam to seal the whole window?"

She paused, then pointed to the blurry scene outside the window, adding, "And look, there's not a single ray of light outside!"

"Normally at this time, you can see the moonlight even when it's dark, but now it's like it's been blocked by something. It must be really foggy!"

Seeing that it was indeed foggy outside, and considering that his little dragon was still outside, Shao Yun decided to bring it inside to avoid the fog.

"Alright then, I'll go and call Xiaolong inside." Shao Yun stood up, preparing to bring Xiaolong into the house as he spoke.

"The fog is so thick outside, and 'Potato Pancake' is still small. It will definitely be uncomfortable for it to stay outside. Let it come in and stay for now, and we'll send it back to the dragon's den when the fog clears."

Ying nodded and reminded him, "Be careful, it's foggy outside, don't fall."

Shao Yun smiled, gave a reassuring gesture, and then turned and walked towards the door.

The moment Shao Yun pushed open the door, the scene before him stunned him.

The fog outside was much thicker than it appeared from the window; it was so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

He tried to reach out his hand, but it was immediately swallowed up by the smoke; visibility was probably only a few centimeters!

"Damn, why is there such a thick fog?" Shao Yun muttered to himself, feeling increasingly puzzled.

Even when Nata's weather is foggy, it's usually a thin fog in the early morning. This is the first time he's ever encountered such a dense fog suddenly appearing at night.

What struck him as even more bizarre was that when Shao Yundi reached into the fog beside him, he discovered that this fog was completely different from ordinary fog.

Normally, fog is damp and leaves a faint moisture residue when it touches the skin, but this fog was ridiculously dry.

Not only did it not feel moist at all, but it also had a rough, dusty texture, and it felt a little cool when it touched the skin.

"But why isn't it damp at all?" Shao Yun's doubts deepened.

And why does it look so familiar? It's like I've seen it somewhere before…

Just as Shao Yun was filled with doubt, a soft hoofbeat suddenly came from the doorway.

He turned his head and saw the mother goat leading her little dragon named "Potato Pancake" slowly to the door.

Little Jifenglong "Potato Pancake" waddled into the house with his short legs, his little head occasionally looking left and right, very curious about the lively atmosphere inside.

The mother goat stood at the door, shook her head, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, spoke in a human voice: "I've brought your little dragon to you."

"Also, you have another guest, but that guest was unlucky. He was trapped by your horse as soon as he entered the ranch and is still stuck in the fog."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that the eerie thick fog outside was created by their own Apocalypse Horse in order to trap outsiders!

The first time I encountered death, it also emerged from the fog. I remember now, I remember now!

When the Evil Riders came before, "Death" had demonstrated a similar ability. Now it seems that "Death" is even more vigilant when facing unfamiliar guests.

"I knew this fog was strange." Shao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again. "I wonder who the guest trapped in it is. Let's hope there are no misunderstandings."

Then, Shao Yun entered the fog, intending to find out which guest had been mistaken for an enemy.

At this moment, Daines Reb was completely enveloped in the thick fog.

He tried to walk out of the fog, but found that the fog was extremely resistant, and each swing required a lot of effort.

Moreover, apart from being able to clearly perceive the existence of their own physical body, everything around them became blurry and indistinct.

I couldn't hear the wind, couldn't see the light or shadow, and my sense of touch was slowly becoming dull, as if I were isolated in a separate space.

The Apocalypse Horse "Death" stood not far away, constantly releasing soul mist, its scarlet eyes staring intently at Dain through the mist, but without making any attacking moves.

It simply trapped Dain firmly with the mist, neither allowing him to escape nor giving him any chance to resist, as if it had locked Dain in an invisible prison, quietly waiting for Shao Yun's arrival.

Dain tried calling out a few times, but found that the sound could not travel very far in the fog; he could only hear his own echo reverberating in his ears.

Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps came from the fog, growing closer and closer.

Dain looked warily in the direction the sound came from. The next second, Shao Yun passed through the mist and arrived beside the Apocalypse Horse "Death". He then immediately saw Dain's Reeb, who had been trapped.

Shao Yun spotted Dain trapped in the fog at a glance. He smiled and walked over, waving to Dain in a friendly manner.

"Hi, Dain, long time no see! So you're the guest who's been stuck in my house!"

When Daines Reeb saw Shao Yun emerge from the thick fog, he felt as if the wrinkles in his cerebral cortex had been instantly smoothed out, leaving him in a state of disbelief.

He followed the scent of the Evil Riders to this ranch, expecting to encounter a fierce battle, but he never expected to meet Shao Yun here. He also never expected that the strange fog that trapped him was actually related to Shao Yun!

"Is this your home?" Dain's eye muscles twitched involuntarily.

Seeing Dai Yin's shocked expression, Shao Yun couldn't help but smile: "That's right, this is my home. What, are you surprised?"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the neck of the Apocalypse Horse "Death" beside him, and said in a gentle tone, "This is not an enemy, there is no need to trap him anymore, go back."

The Apocalypse Horse "Death" gave Dain a human-like look, as if it were performing "facial recognition" to confirm his identity, then snorted loudly, and the soul mist around him began to dissipate rapidly.

The thick fog that had enveloped the entire ranch receded at a visible speed, like the receding tide, and everything returned to normal.

Looking at the scene before him, Dain finally understood.

It turned out that what he had just encountered was not a trap set by the extremely vicious riders, but rather a reaction of Shao Yun's horse out of vigilance!

He shook his head helplessly, his tone tinged with self-deprecation: "I thought this horse belonged to Ji Eqi, but it turns out it's yours."

After watching the Apocalypse Horse slowly retreat into the shadows, Shao Yun waved to Dain and said with a smile:

"Alright, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Since you're here, please come in. We were just about to have dinner, so please sit down with us."

Dai Yin's attitude towards Shao Yun was complicated, but since Shao Yun had taken the initiative to invite him, he couldn't refuse. So he nodded, didn't say anything more, and followed Shao Yun toward the house.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Skykirk, who had become a "human stick" and could only be fed by Ningguang, inadvertently looked up at the door. When she saw Daines Reeb walking in behind Shao Yun, she bit her lip and thought to herself, "Oh no."

She never expected to run into Dain here!

"Tsk, how did I run into him?" Skirk couldn't help but click her tongue again, feeling quite troubled.

When Skykirk first met Dain, she wanted to get some information about the Dark Knight's past from him, but Dain ended up pestering her with questions about the Dark Knight's whereabouts. She was driven crazy by his persistent questioning and eventually had to find an opportunity to run away.

Now, when they meet again, he finds himself in this wretched state, having lost all four limbs and needing to be fed.

Silky wished she could immediately use the power of the abyss to temporarily solidify her limbs and escape this extremely embarrassing situation.

But her stomach told her to eat first...

So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to be calm.

Daines Reeb recognized Skykirk at a glance, which was quite unexpected.

He never expected to encounter this extremely vicious knight's apprentice at Shao Yun's ranch.

“Skirk?” He called out the name instinctively, his gaze immediately falling on Kirk’s empty limbs. He frowned slightly, pointed, and asked:

"Wait a minute, what happened to your hands and feet...?"

Silky was already used to the surprise of others, her face expressionless, her tone indifferent as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

"It's nothing, my hands and feet were just torn off by my master (Extreme Evil Rider). It's okay, they were broken a long time ago, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

Upon hearing this, Dainesreb's disgust for the Evil Knights deepened even further.

Surtroch was as ruthless as ever, even towards his own disciple.

But he didn't comment further on the Evil Knight; instead, he changed the subject and mentioned another name.

"Heh, Harden really did train a good student."
