Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

A disheveled figure was walking in the wilderness. It was a middle-aged monk, dressed in tattered clothes, covered in dust, with fatigue in his eyes, and a hideous wound on his left arm.

He was the monster that Ying and Lingyue encountered before they came to the town in the lake, the remnant of a monk who had died long ago.

He was originally heading towards his goal, the monastic sect outside the small town. He would collapse again from exhaustion after being already dead, and then the monster would reappear from his corpse, and once again embark on this journey that would never reach its destination.

But this time, he suddenly changed direction.

No one knew what made him change. Perhaps it was an action that had been repeated thousands of times that finally led to an error in the process. The direction of this monk's progress was no longer the illusory monastic sect, but his hometown where he once lived and where he had lived for most of his life.

"I...want to...go home."

He was tireless and unafraid of danger, he just kept walking towards his goal. In the end, just like now, he was covered with wounds and looked extremely miserable.

Finally, he came to a place shrouded in darkness. In the darkness, he could not see the surroundings clearly, but he could feel a biting cold.

Monsters are bred in the darkness and murderous intent lurks in the shadows, but this man has experienced this feeling countless times in the wilderness at night. Although he has become a monster and may also become the prey of other monsters, he is lucky that he has not been swallowed by the darkness all these years.

This time luck was on his side as well. He continued to move forward in the darkness, feeling several powerful forces and even a powerful magic power from an immortal.

This made him instinctively want to move closer to the place where the immortal's magic power came from, but an inexplicable belief made him continue to walk into the depths of darkness.

He didn't know what lay in the depths of the darkness, he only knew that he couldn't stop.

Swish!

Suddenly, a pitch-black thorn stretched out from the darkness, pierced his injured arm, and slowed him down.

"what is that?"

The monk was confused for a while, but never stopped. Fortunately, the attack only occurred once, and it might have been just an accidental injury.

So he went on, and at last came to the deepest part of the darkness.

……

Ying dodged the attack of the black energy. She successfully avoided the attack involving concepts. At this moment, she had a strong premonition, just like when she shouted out "Barbatos" and "Morax" and gained the power of these gods.

She felt the connection between herself and those gods, a feeling far stronger than the previous two times. Perhaps this time, she could gain even more powerful power, or even...

But Ying did not call out the name of God immediately. In such a high-intensity battle, she was unable to devote her mind to other things for a while.

"Real name, Lord of Rescue and Deliverance, Boy Who Resurrects the Dead!"

Ying recovered from the near-death state once again. All the wounds on her body disappeared, but a lot of energy in her body was consumed.

"Now, it's my turn to enter the second stage!"

However, Ying still had the energy to joke. Feeling another attack approaching, her figure suddenly became illusory and she quickly retreated, leaving an ice lotus in her place. The ice lotus was holy and flawless, but it exerted a strong attraction on the surrounding black air. The attack that was originally conceptually launched towards Ying was successfully attracted by the ice lotus.

"Send all the heavenly flowers down!"

As the energy within Ying's body exploded, the frost and snow condensed in the atmosphere were attracted to each other under the influence of Ying's magic power, and finally formed an ice spirit bead with the effect of repelling demons.

For evil demons, the bitter cold snow caused by the Ice Spirit Pearl is quite powerful. Even if the black air is boundless, there is something inside it that continuously purifies it, which must make it feel uncomfortable, or even painful.

However, all sorts of strange noises continued to be heard from the black air. If it were not for the purifying effect of the Ice Spirit Pearl, Ying might have felt a repressed emotion again.

"You only care about destruction, and don't even care about your own condition? You are like a killing tool without emotions and feeling no pain."

After fighting for so long, Ying also saw the true nature of the black energy, and understood that without purifying the core of the black energy, it would be difficult to completely eliminate it.

"There are two treasures in the lake. One is constantly generating demonic energy, while the other is suppressing it."

"I took away the treasure that suppressed the evil spirit, which led to the lake water being completely transformed by the treasure that produced the evil spirit and became this black energy. But as long as we can deal with that thing, there is a way to completely eliminate it."

After being able to avoid the attacks of the black air, Ying continued to move towards the location of the treasure that produced the demonic energy. Although she could not see in the darkness, Ying still relied on her memory to come to the vicinity of the treasure.

Only then did she realize that the lake water had long disappeared and had also become part of the black air.

"Hahahaha!"

"Ying, what's wrong with you? Why don't you want to join us?"

"Big sister, I'm back again."

These were the voices of Gui Yan and Hei Lingyue. Their voices also came from the black air, which startled Ying. This was exactly what Ying was worried about.

The area covered by the black gas was too wide. Although she moved Gu Ling and Gui Yan to a safe place, they still could not escape from the area covered by the black gas. Now that the black gas was so thick, Ling Yue, who had almost become possessed, might be affected again.

Similarly, Gui Yan, who was just a beginner in the cultivation world, would probably find it difficult to resist this level of demonic energy.

"We can only hope for Gu Ling's purification ability."

Ying no longer hesitated and recalled the feeling of fighting against Osel. She merged together again the immortal power belonging to Xiao, the immortal power belonging to Ganyu, and most importantly, the immortal power belonging to Grandma Ping.

In addition, Shen He and Qi Qi's immortal powers also exploded together, and a light suddenly appeared in the darkness, just like a candle lit at night.

The darkness near Ying was successfully dispelled, but an inconspicuous black spot remained in place. That was the treasure that was continuously producing black gas.

But seeing the black air with a destructive and distorted aura constantly emerging from this black spot, Ying thought that such a thing might not be called a treasure.

Ying quickly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the eyeball and purify the evil spirit within it, but this was exactly where the evil spirit was most concentrated. Here, its influence was far greater than before. Ying's body, which had condensed countless immortal powers, was still stopped by it.

"not good!"

Feeling the threat approaching again, Ying prepared herself to fall into a near-death state again, but the attack she expected did not appear.

"what happened?"

Ying felt puzzled. The power of the immortal allowed her to use her spiritual sense to investigate the surrounding situation. Thus, during her investigation, Ying discovered a person.

To be precise, it was a monster, a monster that had died long ago but was unaware of its own death.

Ying had met him before and received a longevity lock from him as a reward for saving Guiyan's life. Unexpectedly, she would see him here again.

"Master?"

The monster raised his head and looked at the boundless black air around him. He saw a face in the black air, the face of a shriveled old man. Although there was a smile on that face, it looked like it was carved and not real.

But for this person, even if he became a monster, this face was the most familiar to him.

"Master!"

He shouted again and took a step forward.

Unfortunately, the black air is no longer dominated by the consciousness of the Gourd Immortal. Even if he recognizes this monster, he cannot make any reaction. Instead, the surrounding black air becomes violent because of this intruder.

In just a moment, the monster's body was shattered and turned into dust. Even his corpse in the distance was not spared.

He was finally free, finally free from this endless torture.

But for the Gourd Immortal, what kind of shock would it be to watch his beloved disciple disappear before his eyes?

Until the monster completely disappeared, the black energy was unable to take any action.

And Ying seized this opportunity.

She broke free from the black energy, and while the other party was unable to respond, she spoke out the true name of the god.

"Bal!"
