In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

Xu Guang pressed down on the other person's head: "Tomorrow night? How about it? I'll make you so tired that you won't have any more wild thoughts."

Sugar hummed in agreement, but didn't stop, only saying somewhat indistinctly, "Okay, I'll just smell it now, I won't do anything..."

Feeling the breath on the sheet of cloth, Xu Guang snorted and leaned against the big tree behind him.

This...this isn't right.

Why is the story developing so strangely?

Isn't it usually him who says these kinds of things?

How did I end up on the receiving end?

Sugar continued, biting off a corner and then pulling it down.

"Hmm...just for a little while?"

Sugar looked at the object that had hit her face, her eyes filled with hope.

Xu Guang couldn't stand this kind of thing, so he could only turn his head away and nod helplessly.

"Alright, try to be as fast as you can, oh my... where did you learn this trick?"

Chapter 276: The Sheep and the Monkey

"This has also been confirmed."

Noel hid on a small hillside, holding a map in his hand, comparing and surveying as he went.

This is also to make it easier for the next person to undergo the trial.

After exploring the area, Noelle got up and tiptoed away.

There's a reason why this place is called the Trial Grounds by the Knights.

Not far away, there is a small abyssal rift, from which pollution constantly erodes the surrounding environment.

This was something the Knights deliberately left behind.

On the one hand, this place is far from human habitation and few people have ever been here; on the other hand, the Knights have plowed through it several times over the years, so the level of danger is already under control.

However, the worst thing that can happen at such times is an accident.

Noelle strictly adhered to the Knight's Handbook and only breathed a sigh of relief after leaving.

Hopefully, nothing goes wrong and I won't cause any trouble for anyone.

Noelle prayed silently.

Her gait revealed her inner turmoil, which is understandable. Given the embarrassing situation, it's quite remarkable that she could maintain her composure.

"Mr. Xu Guang, do you still remember what happened that time...? It's best to forget about it..."

She sighed silently.

Even now, she can still recall the scene of her fingertips pressing against her skin and sinking in.

Noelle closed her eyes and took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

She really wanted to have an open and honest conversation with him, but since he didn't say anything, wouldn't that make her seem awkward...?

Thus, the preoccupied girl remained unaware of the low growl from the shadows.

As she moved forward, the monster in the shadows could no longer restrain itself and pounced.

"Roar—"

A terrifying howl shattered the silence of the forest.

Noelle snapped out of her daze and held her greatsword horizontally in front of her.

They managed to block it, but this hasty response was full of flaws.

Seizing the opportunity, the monster struck the girl's side with its claws.

stab-

The clothes were torn.

Noelle was sent flying backwards.

Several trees, as thick as a thigh, were broken.

Noelle looked up, her eyes filled with seriousness; she recognized who it was.

A polluted coyote.

Normally, this creature is smaller than some medium-sized dogs, but after being contaminated, it becomes quite large, almost like a rhinoceros.

If you observe the other party's appearance carefully, you can also find its incredibly sharp claws and teeth, and a second pair of eyes on its face.

Within the Knights, it has an even more prestigious title.

"Dire Wolf".

Noelle stood up, supporting herself on her sword with one hand.

She could feel that the other party had hit her. Logically speaking, she should have been seriously injured even if she didn't die, but in fact, she was only grazed and felt slightly dizzy after being knocked away.

what's the situation……

Noelle looked down at the spot where the enemy had attacked.

Beneath the clothes, a faint white light appeared, protecting her.

How could anyone not recognize him? This is the power of Mr. Xu Guang.

It turns out they weren't silent; they'd been watching me all along.

Noelle laughed, looking at her enemy with piercing eyes, the tip of her sword pointing directly at him.

"Mr. Dire Wolf, your sneak attack failed. Now it's round two!"

In the distance, Amber keenly noticed something amiss and quickened her pace.

In this respect, she has an advantage over Rosalia.

After all, this nun's main target is people, while Amber could encounter anything.

Amber leaped quickly from branch to branch, rushing as fast as she could, afraid that if she was even a little slow, a scene too gruesome to witness would occur.

She wasn't unfamiliar with such experiences.

She had just started working there when she saw a colleague who looked somewhat familiar being torn in two.

When a person is cut in half at the waist, they do not die immediately, so you can see their struggle, pain, and resentment.

I don't want to experience that again!

Amber gritted her teeth and rushed over without regard for anything else.

boom--

This time she was even closer, and within her sight, large trees were falling one after another, raising dust everywhere.

If she remembered correctly, that was the direction Noelle was heading.

They always booked their surveys in advance, so they knew where everyone would be going, and this level of commotion couldn't possibly have been caused by some little guy.

Amber bit her lip. She had always known that the Knights had a kind-hearted little maid. If she had to say, the maid's strength was enough to become a formal knight, but unfortunately, she was too soft-hearted, which prevented her from being promoted.

The opponent's specialty is defense, so you must hold on!

Amber planned to take out her bow and quickly nock it when she was almost at her destination, so that she could provide fire support as soon as possible.

But when she got closer, she realized that things weren't as she thought.

The dire wolf, which she had always considered her imaginary enemy, dragged its wounded body along, crawling slowly and haltingly into the distance.

Behind it was Noelle, but she seemed to be in good condition as well, her face was pale, and she could almost be described as panting with every step.

Amber's eyes widened.

"What's going on here...?"

She had experienced the power of the Dire Wolf firsthand; even its juvenile form was far beyond the capabilities of a single knight.

Therefore, the facts before our eyes cannot be a lie.

Miss Noelle, single-handedly and with her sword, drove the monster away in terror.

Amazing……

Amber sighed with genuine emotion.

Rosalia arrived just a little later than Amber.

She first observed the battlefield, and then calmly made her judgment.

Although it looked brutal, it was mostly one-sided killings with very simple traces. Strangely, the object that was repeatedly knocked away was small in size and was definitely not the wolf.

But here is the problem.

If it's not a wolf, then who is it?

Noelle?

That's impossible. A person attacked like that would have lost their fighting ability long ago.

Why does the other person only look tired, but have no obvious wounds?

This is unreasonable.

If Xu Guang were here, he would definitely praise her.

Look, that's what professionalism looks like.

Xu Guang was aware of what was happening here. He noticed it the moment the protection he had placed on Noelle was triggered and planned to go there immediately.

But I really can't get away from it.

Because he is currently in the Shenhou position, his head is stuck, and if he tries to force his way out, he doesn't know if Sugar will get hurt, but Xiao Xuguang will definitely suffer.

Thinking of this, he gave up and could only turn off the screen to see how the other side was doing.

With his protection, getting injured is obviously impossible, but not getting injured doesn't mean not getting tired.

Dire wolves have high defense; they die even after being hit multiple times, though it looks very pitiful.

It fled purely because it discovered that no matter how it attacked, the other party seemed completely unaffected.

Dude, if it's not off, it's not on?

You've already locked your health, what can I say? I can only comply.

Chapter 277: Zaoyou's Dark Future

The dire wolf was running with all its might, its eyes fixed on the crack in the distance.

The abyss not only strengthens creatures, but also increases the stats of creatures that have been corrupted within it.

Its recovery speed is frighteningly fast.

So as long as we can get anywhere!

If only we could get there!

It can still live!

Noelle clearly knew this too, so she dragged her sword and staggered over, intending to deliver the final blow.

He wasn't injured, at most he looked a bit disheveled, but he was definitely exhausted.

The protection Xu Guang provided could only ensure that she wouldn't get hurt.

Stab, prick, prick—

The blade dragged along the ground; Noelle had exerted all her strength with every strike, and now her body was beginning to suffer the consequences.

When a person is on the verge of despair, adrenaline will drive them to make a last-ditch effort, at the cost of prolonged weakness.

That's how Noelle is now.

But she didn't give up; her little face, covered in dust, was full of determination.

She had done her homework before coming. If she encountered abyssal creatures, she should never fight in their territory, nor should she let them escape back into the rift, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

Her fingers were trembling, and Noelle gritted her teeth, preparing to rush over.
