Use the Thunder Spheres to avoid detection

Genshin - Use the Thunder Spheres to avoid detection
There is a Thunder Sakura Bough near Ryuuji. Use it to gain an Electrogranum and fly towards the animals.

Other Thunder Sakura Boughs can be found in the area, and you can make use of them to quickly get to each animal! You can also use them to escape Canine Bunshin if they detect you.

Hit the Canine Bunshin with the Ubiquity Net

Genshin - Hit the Canine Bunshin with the Ubiquity Net
There are many Canine Bunshin in the southern part of the map, near the Fox. You can use the Smoke Machines in that area, but the smoke screen goes away pretty quickly. You can use the Ubiquity Net as a last resort to stun Canine Bunshin!

Bring Characters with Shields

Genshin - Mystery of the Black Shadow - Shield Character in Den of Thieves
Crowd control is always useful, but the heavier enemies in this challenge can't really be effectively sucked into an Anemo vortex. We recommend having characters with strong shields to protect you from hard-hitting Nobushi and Kairagi!

Go for Freeze Reactions

Genshin - Mystery of the Black Shadow - Cryo Character in Den of Thieves
Another effective way to avoid damage is by freezing enemies. This is especially easy to do if you haven't completed the Orobashi's Legacy series and still have a constant storm on Yashiori Island.

Bringing Cryo characters with you will even boost your elemental damage with reactions like Melt and Superconduct!
