Chapter 139 Fusion of Gale and Flame Breath
Seeing the resentment on the little girl's face, Xu Ning guessed that Amber must be regretting not bringing her bow.
"Don't worry, I can defeat it with Qin. I will never lose such an important clue."
"I understand."
Amber nodded emphatically and, seizing an opportunity, threw the mechanical bird to Xu Ning.
Krober's mechanical form indeed abandoned its pursuit of Amber and instead attacked Xu Ning.
How could Jean possibly let such a good opportunity pass by? Enduring the pain in her waist, she stabbed the mechanical Krober in the back twice more.
"Captain Qin, normal attacks don't seem to do much damage to him."
Amber ran to Jean's side and, looking at the bloody gash on her waist, reminded her with some concern.
Xu Ning leaped twice, dodging two grappling hooks launched by the mechanical Krobor, and laughed, "Since normal attacks are ineffective, let's use elemental combat skills."
"Jin, your Eye of the Wind is for wind, right? Can you help me with my attack?"
Qin nodded, signaling Amber to step aside. She stepped forward with her left foot and drew her sword back with her right hand, instantly creating a gust of wind that howled around her.
It is the starting stance of Jean's elemental combat skill "Wind Pressure Sword".
Xu Ning had originally intended to instruct Qin to use the Wind Pressure Sword to assist him, but he couldn't explain how he knew her sword skills, so he could only give her a subtle hint.
Seeing that Qin had indeed used the appropriate skill as he had hoped, he couldn't help but praise Qin as the most reliable teammate.
Xu Ning induced the mechanical Krobor to launch its claws twice more, and in the instant its arm rebounded, he flashed to Qin's side.
Xu Ning leaned almost entirely against Qin's chest, his left hand drawing the aroma of wine from the Dust Concealment Gourd, while his right hand struck the same pose as Qin.
With a snap of his fingers, Xu Ning's right fist suddenly burst into flames.
Qin had now fully grasped Xu Ning's battle intentions, and at the same time, she instantly wrapped all the swirling winds around her onto the spine of her sword.
The howling wind suddenly turned into a raging storm, whistling like arrows on the spine of the sword.
"Gale and Blaze!"
With a shout, Xu Ning's dragon-shaped aura of alcohol on his right fist transformed into a fire dragon the moment it was unleashed.
Qin, in coordination with Xu Ning, unleashed the full power of the Wind Suppression Sword in the direction of his punch.
Wind helps the fire.
This was the first time Xu Ning had ever discovered that the fire dragon in his hands could transform into such a terrifying form, like a natural disaster.
The fire dragon roared and swirled, incinerating everything in its path.
The grasslands, trees, the Hittites' barracks, and even the mechanical Kroboth were all burned to ashes in the inferno.
Amber, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
So elemental combat skills can be used like this?
Hmm? Perhaps my fire element could also unleash this... "Gale Breath" together with Jean?
Xu Ning turned around, looked at the zither standing close to him, took a sip of wine, and smiled, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
Qin subtly took a half step back, sheathed the West Wind Sword, and smiled, "Pleasure doing business with you. Was 'Gale Wind and Blazing Breath' the name of your move just now?"
Xu Ning shook his head slightly. "Gale is you, and Flame Breath is me. These are the names of the moves we just used together. I came up with them on the spot. Not bad, right?"
Qin shyly reached up to smooth a strand of hair that had been ruffled by the strong wind, unsure how to respond to Xu Ning's words. In the end, she said, "The Knights of Favonius thank you for your help."
Xu Ning laughed and handed the mechanical bird to Amber, saying, "Now that we have the clue, let's head back! It's already dawn; I wonder if Cole has woken up yet?"
Amber paused for a moment, then took the mechanical bird and said, "No, I still have to catch up with that masked Fatui..."
Xu Ning sighed, "There's no need to chase. Even if we catch up, we can't beat them. Let's talk as we walk."
On the way back, Xu Ning told Jean and Amber about his encounter with Krobor and the doctor at the Dawn Winery.
Anyway, they could find out about these things by asking the bishop of the Church of the West Wind, so they weren't afraid of the bishop finding out.
However, Xu Ning did not reveal Kaeya and Diluc's involvement in Krobor's death. He only said that he accidentally witnessed a man in black interrogating Krobor, and then Krobor was killed by the Doctor.
So, we were fighting someone who was already dead?
Amber exclaimed in surprise, then thought for a moment and said, "This feeling is really strange."
Xu Ning nodded and said, "It's really strange. And I'm sure the doctor didn't take Krobor's body away at the time. Maybe there was something wrong with the spike he used, and it took away a piece of Krobor and made this monster."
Jean said with some worry, "If this matter is indeed being handled by the Fatui Doctors, then I'm afraid what they're doing this time is definitely a conspiracy deliberately targeting Mondstadt."
"I will immediately get people to thoroughly investigate this matter when I get back."
Seeing that Qin was starting to speed up, Xu Ning asked with concern, "Is your waist injury alright?"
Qin smiled and said, "It's alright. My physique benefits from the protection of the Wind God, and my recovery ability is very strong."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning glanced at the wound on Qin's waist.
Indeed, if this wound isn't treated soon, it will heal completely.
After returning to the city, the three headed straight for the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.
However, as soon as they arrived near the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, they saw the Knights of Favonius's cavalry captain, Kaeya, confronting Kore aggressively.
Xu Ning sensed something was wrong. This Kaiya had been keeping an eye on Ke Lai, and probably already believed in his heart that Ke Lai was the murderer in the Black Fire case.
He dared not let Cole act alone from now on.
Xu Ning suddenly rushed forward and pulled Ke Lai behind him.
Amber, on the other hand, was even more direct, hopping to Kaeya's side in a single bunny hop.
Xu Ning clearly saw that she deliberately stepped on Kaiya's foot, but Kaiya was actually quite good-natured. She hissed and took a breath but didn't move at all.
Amber raised a small fist and asked threateningly, "Kaiya-senpai, you wouldn't be taking advantage of the fact that we're not here to bully my friend, would you?"
Kaiya laughed and said, "So she's your friend? How rude of me! I just saw that she seemed to be coming out of the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, and she was a stranger to me, so I couldn't help but ask her a few more questions."
While Amber was questioning Kaeya, Xu Ning whispered to Cole beside him, "Have you found what you're looking for?"
Cole nodded habitually, then realized what she meant and quickly corrected herself, "Not yet..."
Xu Ning gave her an amused look. "So, does it exist or not?"
Helpless, Cole took out two manuscripts hidden behind his back and said, "Miss Lisa said she was going to ask a man named Diluc some questions. I was going to remind her to take these with her, but she left too quickly..."
When Qin saw that the two manuscripts were the ones she and Lisa had looked through, she said, "Lisa compared this incident with the tragedy three or four years ago and found the same burn marks and records."
"Therefore, Diluc is very likely to be involved in this case."
