Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Unable to leave the lake, this situation made Ying and the others feel a little worried.

For Ying and Lingyue, both of them have experienced a lot of ups and downs. Although the current predicament is troublesome, it is not enough to make them panic. But for Guiyan and Gu Ling, such a situation makes them unable to calm down.

Gu Ling found a secluded place outside the town to set up a ban and cast various spells that she had not yet mastered, hoping to break through the ban that suddenly appeared in the lake.

Gui Yan chose to stay in seclusion in the house. She knew that her strength was not enough to play a role in this situation. So this strong girl chose to concentrate on improving her strength.

Although there is no time for Guiyan to improve her cultivation due to time constraints, this is the only effort she can make at the moment.

Then it was Ling Yue. After some consideration, she decided to protect Gui Yan. After all, with every increase in Gui Yan's cultivation, her strength would also increase a little.

Currently, her magic power is still only about 30% of what it was before, but it has recovered a little. In order to deal with the possible... or should I say, the inevitable battle in the future, she must seize every opportunity to become stronger.

As for Ying, she was observing the conditions of those whose hearts had been transplanted.

She was not worried that they would really be trapped here. If the lake here really intended to deal with them and wanted to assimilate them into part of the lake, it should have started to act when they just entered here. It would not have been delayed until now. There must be other reasons for this sudden ban.

Ying thought about it for a while and remembered that Sui Yang had mentioned at that time that their every move was under the surveillance of the lake, and the ban only appeared after they reached an alliance with Sui Yang.

Perhaps, this actually proves that Sui Yang and his team's arrangement can really threaten the lake.

In this case, Ying only needs to do the work assigned to her by Sui Yang and Nian Ming, and she will naturally be able to find a way to leave here when the time comes.

But what happens after that?

This is what Ying is most worried about. Sui Yang and Nian Ming are obviously controlled by evil spirits, and what they do is definitely not for the noble and righteous purpose of saving the people.

What exactly do they want?

"Why is the thing in the center of the lake that can suppress the demonic energy so attractive to them?"

Ying was watching Brother Zhu's movements in the room while muttering to herself. Guiyan just happened to have completed a cycle of Qi at this time and happened to open her eyes and heard this. She subconsciously thought Ying was talking to her, so she unconsciously replied:

"Then maybe there is more than one thing in the center of the lake."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying suddenly started and quickly turned her gaze to Gui Yan. Gui Yan also felt the attention of Master Ling Yue in her body, and she suddenly worried that she had said something wrong.

"I, I was just talking casually. I was just thinking that there might be two things in it, one that can suppress the influence of demonic energy, and the other that can generate demonic energy."

"Look, didn't Master Lingyue say that when she passed by here, she felt something attracting her? And those immortals who were possessed also said that after they were possessed, they couldn't leave the lake because of the attraction of the center of the lake. That means that the things in the center of the lake are more attractive to those who are possessed."

"But now the demonic energy in the lake will be suppressed by something, which contradicts what I said before, so... that's why I have this idea."

After Guiyan finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly, seeming a little embarrassed.

"That's great, Guiyan!" Ying smiled at Guiyan, and when she saw him raise his head, a slight blush appeared on his face, and then she said:

"If it is really as Guiyan said, then many problems can be explained."

"An object in the center of the lake caused the entire lake to be affected by evil spirits and destroyed these towns, while another object allowed the people affected by the evil spirits to retain their sanity. Everything at the bottom of the lake is actually the product of the competition between these two objects." Ling Yue's voice also came from his mind.

"Combined with what you said earlier and Nian Ming's reaction, it seems that those foreign immortals probably want to get the thing in the center of the lake that produces the demonic energy."

There is a high possibility that this guess is correct, and Ying immediately began to prepare based on this.

During this process, the impact of Sui Yang's heart transplants on the people in the town gradually became apparent.

Although Zhu Ge's increasingly violent temper caused many people's opinion of him to plummet at first, his fists made more people shut up. At least now, near the house, when people mention Zhu Ge, they only think of him as a man with a guts who "knows how to discipline his wife".

That's right, Zhao Dongniang has been scared by him. At the beginning, this tough woman tried to use violence against Brother Zhu, but the difference in power between them made her face the reality. Now their identities and status have been reversed.

Just like when Brother Zhu was bullied, no one is now willing to stand up and speak for Zhao Dongniang. This kind of bullying has become a daily routine. People who originally lived in this daily routine, except for the bullied party, probably would not have any objection to it.

But Zhu Ge's story was only a small part of what Ying knew. While preparing and waiting for Sui Yang and the others to carry out their plan, Ying and the others perfectly played the roles of three ordinary townspeople and actually experienced what kind of changes would occur in this town when its original destiny deviated from it.

Among all the things that happened in the town afterwards, Brother Zhu’s story was surprisingly the most normal.

"Ying, please go and get some soy sauce." Chen Juan had become haggard because of Zhu Ge's affairs, but now, after accepting Zhu Ge's changes, she finally returned to "normal". The day after Sui Yang left, she smiled and asked Ying for help, completely ignoring the faint wailing coming from Zhu Ge's room.

"Okay..." Ying took the money handed over by Chen Juan, and looked past her to Brother Zhu's house. She hoped that she would take a look over there, but Chen Juan just tilted her head slightly to take a look, and then asked in surprise:

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No." Ying forced a smile and quickly left the house.

Afterwards, we came to the town market, where most of the daily necessities were purchased by the foreman who had bullied Brother Zhu before.

In addition to these daily necessities, he is also responsible for selling the fish caught in the town and is an important figure in the town.

But today, Ying came to the market, only to find that all the goods in the market had been smashed to pieces. Porcelain bottles and pottery jars were broken into pieces, and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were all spilled on the ground, mixed together, forming a fragrant sludge on the ground.

On the other side of the market, the foreman, who had drunk an unknown amount of wine, was staggering on the road, then falling to the ground, crawling forward like a maggot.

After a while, he suddenly propped himself up against the wall and unbuttoned his pants in public...

Ying turned her head away and simply went back to the house.

Chen Juan was also surprised by what happened at the market, but when Ying got up the next day, just like what happened with Brother Zhu, the foreman was still making a fuss at the market, and everyone seemed to be used to it. No one paid attention to him, and no one was surprised or weird.
