Standing beneath the Statue of the Seven, Xavier gazed at the distant rainforest.
Because it was so dense, not much could be seen, only a expanse of green.
"Such a big bird!" Furina suddenly shouted.
The group turned to look and indeed saw a very large bird, or more accurately, a bird with a very large beak.
Xavier remembered this bird; these birds were often silly and lacked intelligence.
Unless approached very closely, they wouldn't fly away at all.
"Its beak is so big, won't it fall off when it flies?" Hu Tao's imagination was truly unique.
Alhaitham explained, "This is a Shroomboar, a creature unique to our Sumeru. Its flight speed isn't fast, but it won't fall from the sky."
"I see, can I touch it?" Kokomi asked cautiously.
Alhaitham nodded, "Theoretically, yes, as long as you don't make too much movement and your killing intent isn't too strong."
Everyone was surprised by this explanation, but Kokomi certainly didn't seem like someone with strong killing intent.
Sure enough, as Kokomi slowly approached, the Shroomboar showed no signs of flying away.
Even when Kokomi's hand touched its head, this silly bird still didn't fly away, even seeming to enjoy it.
"I want to touch it too, I want to touch it too!"
Venti ran over, wanting to take over from Kokomi and touch the Shroomboar.
But unfortunately, his movements were too exaggerated, directly scaring the silly bird away.
"Venti, you're so annoying!" This made Hu Tao and Furina stomp their feet in frustration.
Venti stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm so sorry, I thought it wouldn't fly away even if I did that."
Xiao had been silently listening, but at this moment, he couldn't help but speak, "Alright everyone, we're not here just to look at this bird, are we?"
If he didn't know that the drunkard in front of him was the Anemo Archon, he would have really wanted to curse out loud.
"Oh, there's no need to rush, anyway, we're just here to wander around. Finding Kaveh is just a side trip."
"Exactly, exactly, Vanquisher of Evil, you're too tense. Why does everything have to have a purpose? Isn't it good to be spontaneous?"
Listening to Furina and Hu Tao's words, Xiao slightly closed his eyes and said nothing more.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Lord Rex Lapis wanted him to come; sometimes he indeed got too tense.
But this was a habit formed over thousands of years, impossible to change in a short time, and he was very clear about that.
"Everyone, I'm about to start streaming. Do you have any objections?" Xavier took out his phone and asked the group.
"Of course not, but you have to make me look good!"
Furina adjusted her hairstyle, probably thinking she didn't look very photogenic yesterday.
"Xavier, I've always been curious, how do you have internet in Teyvat? My phone doesn't have service."
Hu Tao pulled out her phone and fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't connect to the internet.
"That's because I'm a Blue Star native!" Xavier gave a charming smile.
Of course, Hu Tao didn't believe this reason.
"3, 2, 1!"
The countdown ended, and Xavier's live stream officially began.
Perhaps because the previous live streams were so explosive, coupled with fans knowing that Xavier would stream irregularly.
So many people would keep an eye on his live stream channel.
As expected, this time, as soon as the stream started, about 100 people flooded in.
"Great Demon King, you're as prolific as an old sow! Let me see where you've gone this time!"
"So many trees, it's not in the Mondstadt forest again, is it?"
"No, no, these trees are clearly much thicker than those in Mondstadt. If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Sumeru rainforest!"
Xavier didn't expect these netizens to be so observant, and he laughed, "This netizen answered correctly, but there's no reward!"
"Great Demon King, you seem a bit biased. Why do you always bring Hu Tao and Furina every time you go out?"
"Exactly, why can't you bring more people?"
Hearing such complaints, Xavier really wanted to argue.
It wasn't that he wanted to bring them; it was that they pestered him to come, alright?
As for why he didn't bring others, the reason was very simple: too many people would be exhausting...
"Ah, yes, yes, everything you say is correct."
Facing the netizens' questions, Xavier chose to give up.
The group slowly moved forward from there, following Alhaitham's footsteps.
"As expected of Hai Ge, he's always composed no matter where he goes."
"Hai Ge's back is too alluring..."
"No, upstairs, he's not showing his chest or back, what's alluring about that?"
"What do you know? Not showing anything means showing everything. That's true allure!"
This was the first time Xavier had heard such an interpretation; had netizens' XPs evolved to this extent?
Xavier was simultaneously streaming and sharing the beautiful scenery of the Sumeru rainforest with everyone, while following behind Alhaitham.
Hai Ge even thoughtfully provided scientific explanations for the netizens.
"This type of plant often grows next to taller plants."
"You've misunderstood, it's not a parasitic relationship, but a symbiotic one..."
The netizens listened with great interest, feeling that what Hai Ge said sounded very plausible, as if the plants on Teyvat really were like that.
"Wow, what's that!"
But at that moment, Furina suddenly shrieked, startling everyone.
The netizens thought this was very typical of Furina, but it was a good scare; next time, don't scare them!
"What are you doing, Furina, startling everyone?"
Xavier rolled his eyes; his phone almost dropped to the ground just now.
Furina immediately hid behind Xavier, then pointed not far away and said, "Th-that, what is that!"
Xavier and the others followed her gaze and saw that there indeed seemed to be something moving around there.
However, from the movement, it definitely wasn't a large creature.
So Xavier bravely walked over with his phone.
Pushing aside the grass, he saw, good heavens, it was a Shroomboar!
Furina breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it's a Shroomboar, you really scared me..."
Everyone was a bit suspicious at this point.
"How could Furina know about Shroomboars? She's faking it!"
Xavier explained helplessly, "Of course it's because she plays allogene at my house every day, how could she not know?"
Everyone thought about it and suddenly understood, while also gnashing their teeth.
"Damn UP, why can you have Furina at your house? Can't she come to my house!"
"Yeah, to take a step back, can't she come to my house?"
"Upstairs, don't back away yet, you're backing too much. Come to my house first..."
The netizens chattered away, but Xavier ignored them and instead tapped Furina's head.
"So can you please stop startling everyone? It's just a Shroomboar!"
