Alex continued to play music and drive towards Wolvendom.
Xiao's appearance was somewhat unexpected for Alex; he actually had time to come and ask about his situation. Was it because, besides the Adepti, he was the first to fly around in a car?
That's fine. Anyway, Liyue didn't say flying in the sky was forbidden, so they couldn't control him.
He would go to Liyue later. For now, it was best to meet the Traveler in Mondstadt first to see if it was the brother or the sister.
Soon, Alex saw a large green field, where grapes were growing.
It was Master Diluc's Dawn Winery.
He was heading in the right direction; further ahead would be Wolvendom.
But first, he would unlock the Statue of The Seven nearby...
On the mountaintop of Wolvendom, Alex arrived.
Hmm, Alex looked into the distance. Should he challenge the Wolf Lord now?
He decided against it for now. He didn't want to fight yet; he would wait until he needed its materials.
Afterward, Alex wandered around the area.
During this time, he picked many Wolfhooks. He rinsed them and popped them into his mouth.
A sour and astringent taste filled his mouth, but it wasn't too difficult to swallow.
"They're probably a bit unripe," Alex said, then threw away the fruit in his hand and decided not to pick any more.
After wandering through the woods for a long time, Alex also found crystal ore and took the harbinger of dawn to start mining.
Don't even mention it, it was incredibly strenuous, unlike in the game where a few attacks would suffice.
It seemed that mining here really did require a pickaxe!
Wandering in another direction, besides one or two wild boars, Alex also saw wolf packs active.
"Hey-ha."
"Ugh!"
Approaching the direction where the wolf packs gathered, Alex began to hear a young boy's roar.
Even though it had been a long time since he heard this voice, Alex immediately recognized its owner.
It was Razor!
Wow, that's great. It felt inevitable to meet him since Razor lives in Wolvendom.
He quickly went to see what was happening.
Deep in the forest, a white-haired boy with a wild aura was swinging a training greatsword, terrifying electric sparks surrounding his body.
And in front of him were the large and small Rifthound Whelps that Alex was familiar with.
"Be careful!" Alex called out a warning.
Sharp-eyed Alex noticed that Razor was struggling, and he even saw fresh claw marks on his arm.
A trickle of blood seeped from the claw marks...
Razor was injured!
After the warning, Alex quickly joined the battle. First, he directly activated a capture, grabbing the smallest Rifthound Whelp with the lowest HP.
Good, this Rifthound Whelp had already had most of its HP depleted by Razor and the wolves around him. The capture was successful, and Alex put it away the next moment.
He then focused on dealing with the other one.
Big Furina and little Furina spat bubbles, aiming at the larger Rifthound.
Well, why did this newly summoned larger Combat Skill summon also spit bubbles? Couldn't it evolve into a more powerful Hydro blade?
As he spoke, the larger one actually began to spit out long, strip-shaped Hydro blades.
Oh, this works! The big one is more useful than the small one! The small one only attacks by spitting bubbles.
With the addition of a kind person, Razor's pressure instantly dropped, and he began to output full DMG.
In just a few moments, the Rifthound was torn apart by the two, its various parts lying on the ground, not disappearing.
"Hello, I am, Razor. Thank you, for, helping," Razor looked at Alex, nodding his head in thanks.
"It's nothing, no need to thank me. You're injured, are you okay?" Alex waved his hand, then looked at Razor with concern, feeling that his body was constantly losing HP.
Razor heard Alex's words and shook his head: "It's okay, Wolfy's child, wounds can heal. This small injury, is not important."
"Let me heal you!" Seeing Razor trying to tough it out and wait for his body to recover on its own, as a Hydro element user, he could also act as a healer.
"Help!" Alex said, and Big Furina transformed into a cute little jellyfish.
Looking at the jellyfish in front of him, he also felt his body being purified and cleansed by the Hydro element. The injured area no longer hurt.
His body had returned to normal, and the wound had even healed, as if he had never been scratched.
Razor looked at Alex and said: "You, need anything, me, to help? I will, do my, best."
"Ah, I don't need anything..." Alex said in confusion, then immediately realized: "Oh, you don't have to worry, this is just a little hobby of mine."
"Hmm. Don't understand," Razor shook his head: "But, still very grateful, for your help."
This time, Alex just nodded, then looked at the Rifthound on the ground.
"They, are difficult. We, cannot defeat them. They, will regenerate."
Although Razor's speech always had strange pauses, Alex still understood the meaning.
"I see."
"When did they arrive? How many are there? Are there three?" Alex asked, remembering that there were three in Mondstadt.
"They've been here for a while, there are many, countless. They, threatened the wolf pack. Some wolves were attacked a lot, seriously injured. Even with Wolfhooks, the bleeding wouldn't stop, and in the end..." It was rare for him to say so much in one breath, and Razor's mood began to turn sorrowful towards the end.
"Is that so? Are there any injured ones now? I can help heal them too."
Razor shook his head, a slight smile on his lips. He had been scratched while protecting a Wolfy, but it was good that the Wolfy wasn't injured.
Razor said: "Because I came, they, are not injured."
"That's good," Alex's heart also settled. But had this place been invaded by more than just three Rifthound Whelps?
Then there was really nothing he could do. He had thought that if there were only three, he would help Razor solve this problem and capture them all!
"By the way, why are you carrying a training greatsword?" Alex said.
"Hmm?" Razor's expression became puzzled.
"Here, I'll give you a two-handed greatsword," Alex said, opening his backpack.
Looking inside, good heavens, he also had a training greatsword, which he had gotten from opening a treasure chest.
He shouldn't have any three-star greatswords from wishes, no, he had gotten one before.
Reason over force. He should have known not to throw it away. But giving someone a three-star weapon would be too embarrassing.
"No need, this greatsword, is easy to use," seeing someone offering him a weapon, Razor shook his head, refusing.
Alex still pulled one out: "Here, take this, its name is Luxurious Sea-Lord. It increases ATK, enhances Elemental Burst DMG, and also has a bit of Combat Skill DMG."
"Uh," Razor was a bit stunned when he saw Alex pull out a long, straight fish.
Razor then reacted and still refused: "Thank you, but I still, don't want it. This one, is enough!"
"Alright," Alex looked at Razor still refusing, and then at the sword's appearance, which was indeed very strange. Anyone holding it would look comical.
"Then I don't have anything else here, I'll give you this new training greatsword," Alex said, handing the training greatsword to Razor.
"Thank you," Razor thanked him again. This time, he did not refuse.
This one was like the weapon he had picked up, just newer. He could keep it as a spare.
