Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Chapter 125 On the verge of collapse

Ying and Nianming agreed to meet in Dixian's town, but before she could wait for Nianming's arrival, Suiyang showed up first.

This is actually not surprising. After all, Sui Yang is in Dixian's town. As long as he wants, he can find Ying and the others at any time. What Ying didn't expect was that Sui Yang appeared too quickly.

They had just finished discussing their future actions at noon, and Sui Yang showed up that evening.

Ying woke up from a light sleep and heard something knocking on the window. She turned to look at Gui Yan first and found that Ling Yue had already woken him up and took over his body.

So she opened the window and let a small blue-gray fish swim in.

Ying watched the little fish shake its body, and then it changed into the appearance of a young man.

The man was wearing a light grey gown with a brown belt around his waist and carrying a dirty-looking cloth bag on his back. No one knew what was inside the bag, which was constantly bulging.

In reality, he did not look as funny as he did in the bubble. He could even be said to be quite serious, with regular features and bright eyes - even a little too bright. The flickering luster in his eyes was like two small light bulbs.

"Do you like fish so much?" Ying asked curiously. In her impression, Sui Yang's every appearance was related to fish.

"Like fish?" Sui Yang widened his eyes and expressed his surprise in an almost exaggerated way.

"How can anyone like fish?"

Sui Yang started shouting loudly. Fortunately, there was a restriction set up by Ling Yue here, otherwise Ying Zhen was worried that his shouting would alarm everyone in the yard.

No, Ying believed that he had alarmed someone. Not long after the shouting, there was a knock on their door.

Ying knew who the other person was, but she still opened the door a crack. After confirming that it was Gu Ling standing outside, she opened the door and let the other person in.

"It's too loud! Who is that idiot!" Gu Ling started shouting as she walked into the room. Her voice was actually no louder than Sui Yang's, but she knew that Ying and Gui Yan were on her side and would not blame her, so after she finished shouting, she looked at Sui Yang with a smug look.

But Sui Yang didn't feel Gu Ling's ridicule at all. Instead, he smiled and raised his hand:

"The idiot is here!"

Then, he clenched his hand again, leaving only his index finger exposed, and turned that finger to point at Gu Ling, then said:

"And you, you're also a yelling idiot."

"You..." Gu Ling was choked. She wanted to refute, but when she thought that the other party was also an enemy, she rolled her eyes and gave up the idea.

"Tell me, what are you planning to do here?" Gu Ling raised her head and looked at Sui Yang with a condescending look.

"You have met Nian Mingluo, right? Haha, you ruined her arrangements, causing our plan to be delayed for several days.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I work harder, the problem won't be big, I just need your help."

Suiyang paused here, as if waiting for Ying and the others to ask, but they looked at each other and Ying quickly said:

"I reject!"

“Don’t you even want to listen to what I’m saying?” Sui Yang’s smile remained unchanged, but his body trembled noticeably.

"I am planning to cooperate with you, but I never said that I must help you, especially since you are different from Nian Ming, who was purified by me."

"Ah?" Sui Yang was startled, "You mean you want to purify me too?"

Like Nian Ming, Sui Yang's face also showed an uncontrollable look of disgust when he heard the word purification. However, compared to Nian Ming, Sui Yang's expression was obviously more concealed. If Ying had not anticipated it, the other party's discordant expression might have been obscured by his smile.

But in the same way, Sui Yang only asked this question and quickly said:

"Okay, okay, okay! It's just purification, no big deal, come on! How do you want to purify it?"

Although Ying had confirmed her guess, in order to avoid the other party's suspicion, she still played a full role and purified Sui Yang in earnest. After watching the other party's face turn from pale to ruddy, she continued to ask:

"What do you want us to do?"

Sui Yang chuckled, "It's not a difficult task. I have already placed several chess pieces in this town. In a few days, the situation here will change dramatically, and by then I can push this town to the brink of collapse."

"But, townspeople, that's not right! It should be said that all the towns were transformed by this lake - I think everyone should know this - and we have always been in the lake. In fact, it knows everything about what we are doing, but it can't do anything because of the rules it set."

"But when the town collapses, it won't have so many scruples. It might just summon all the monsters at the bottom of the lake. But by that time, Nianming and I will need to cast a spell to break the ban, so... hehe, I'll have to trouble you to protect us."

Ying was not surprised that the lake would launch an attack. The lake was able to create such an underwater world, and its existence even frightened Gu Ling. How could it not be able to protect itself when facing these "ill-intentioned" monks?

Ying was surprised that these possessed immortals acted so quickly.

"So fast?" Ying asked.

"Not fast anymore. How can this be considered fast? Look." Sui Yang said as he raised his hand. The arm that had regained its luster suddenly became distorted like an image reflected through the water surface. After a while, the hand turned into a "thing" made up of several overlapping fish heads piled up together.

It was definitely not some kind of ugly decoration, because Ying could clearly see that the mouths of the fish heads were still opening and closing, emitting bursts of fishy smell, and they were obviously live fish.

No, that’s not right. In this state, is it really just a fish?

"Look." Sui Yang poked the eye of one of the fish heads with his other hand. The pain felt by the fish eye was connected to his body, and Sui Yang couldn't help but gasp because of the pain - or to be precise, cold water.

"The lake water is assimilating us. I believe that its assimilation ability is stronger than you think. It may have become like this by the time I discovered it."

"You have been active at the bottom of the lake for so long, maybe you have some problems, but you just haven't noticed it."

This scene, combined with Sui Yang's words, was indeed very convincing. Although Gu Ling said that they could feel themselves being assimilated by the lake water when they went into the water, that was the conclusion she came to when she thought the lake water was not very strong.

Now that we know that the strength of the lake water is far beyond Gu Ling's understanding, perhaps the conclusion that Gu Ling made at the beginning needs to be revised.

Ying looked at Gu Ling and found that her face had turned dark. Although her body did not move, her eyes were constantly looking around her body.

As the first person among them to arrive at the bottom of the lake, Gu Ling was obviously the most likely to be assimilated by the lake water. Ying couldn't help feeling a little worried, but at this moment, she felt her clothes seemed to be pulled by something.

Ying looked in that direction and found that Guiyan was unconsciously pulling at her clothes because of anxiety.

Ying sighed and thought in her heart:

“It seems that if this problem is not resolved, it will not be just these towns that are on the brink of collapse.”
