Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"Damn it, damn it! I'm obviously the senior, and you treat me like this!"

When Ling Yue returned to normal, the restraints on Gu Ling were naturally removed, but the shame of being defeated and even teased by the other party would not disappear. This was especially true for Gu Ling, who always emphasized that he was a senior.

She found this unbearable. Even though Ying and Guiyan explained the existence of Hei Lingyue, she still refused to give in and insisted on competing with Lingyue again.

As for Ling Yue, after Hei Ling Yue appeared again, she had to rest because her mana was consumed too much and now her remaining mana was less than 10%, so she basically did not respond.

The second reason was that Hei Lingyue revealed some of her...not-so-good habits deep down in her heart, and she was so shocked that she was too ashamed to face Ying and the others.

In short, Ling Yue probably won’t speak again for a while.

As for what happened in the lake, needless to say, everyone knew it. Gu Ling was just surprised at Ying's strength. She saw Ying performing [Secret of Dreams and Truths]. It was the first time she saw such divine power.

Of course, although there were a lot of troubles during this adventure in the lake, the final harvest was quite rich. In addition to the connection established between her and the gods of Teyvat, Ying not only obtained their goal, the light red orb, but also obtained a gourd magic weapon.

Ying is not sure what the pink gem is used for, but since it is the treasure that Immortal Zhenyuan wants her to get, it will definitely come in handy in the future.

As for the magic gourd weapon, it was a relic left by the gourd fairy. After removing the evil spirit, Ying discovered that the magic gourd weapon still retained the effect of absorbing others and devouring and refining them. It might have an extraordinary effect when dealing with a large number of monsters.

Moreover, after leaving the lake, there are not many obstacles on their way to Tianya Island. The only thing that worries them is a swamp full of monsters.

It was right in the middle of where they were now and Tianya Island. If they tried to go around it, even with the magic weapon Stepping on the Wind, it would probably take more than ten days.

But as time went on, they became worried that something unexpected might happen, so they all agreed that it would be best to get to Tianya Island as soon as possible.

Monster beasts are different from ordinary monsters. Most of them are wild beasts with magical powers. They are powerful, but they generally do not have any mental attacks and are quite friendly to Ying.

Therefore, the Monster Swamp would not have been a problem originally, but in today's era, the monsters in the swamp have become extremely violent, and many of them have even gained nearly immortal abilities.

"That place has become very troublesome now. It is said that the monster inside can still survive even if its head is chopped off, and its detached head and body can grow into two identical monsters."

In Tafeng, Gu Ling finally calmed down. Now Ling Yue could not move, Ying did not use magic power, and could not perform precise operations on the magic weapon. Although Gui Yan's talent for cultivation was constantly improving and his strength was growing rapidly, his magic power was still relatively weak. Therefore, only Gu Ling could operate Tafeng well now.

While operating Windstep, she planned the route to Tianya Island.

"The closest city to Tianya Island is Fengyang City. If that doesn't work, you can try to go there by water. I remember there is a big river outside the Monster Swamp that flows all the way to Fengyang City. Many monsters won't go into the water, so it will be easier to go there by water, but..."

Gu Ling hesitated for a moment, and it seemed that she was still a little conflicted.

"But I heard that there is an ancient demon beast entrenched in that river. In terms of strength, it is definitely not weaker than the immortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm. It may even be one of the strongest demon beasts. At least... uh-huh, at least I am no match for it."

"Did you make any strange noises?" Ying asked.

"No! Absolutely not!"

It can be seen that although Gu Ling was very reluctant, she had to admit that the monster in that river was far stronger than herself.

Since Gu Ling could say such words, it seems that the other party is an enemy of the same level as the lake water before.

Now Ying is still not sure when she will be able to establish contact with the gods of Teyvat again. The talisman in her hand has been used up. It won’t take much time to make it again, but they don’t have the materials to make talisman paper now. It seems that they still cannot fight the monster head-on.

"How about we go through that swamp you mentioned?"

Gu Ling sighed and said:

"This is the only way. I hope the monsters in that swamp haven't increased too much in number after so many years."

With a slightly frustrated mood, Gu Ling manipulated the Stepping Wind to adjust the direction. Nothing happened along the way, but after traveling for a few days, everyone clearly felt that the temperature was gradually rising, the cold winter was fading away, and the breath of spring was approaching.

On the second day after they left the lake, gray clouds began to appear in the clear sky. In the afternoon, the color of the clouds became darker and darker, and soon the sky became gloomy. Such weather naturally meant that rain was coming.

Fortunately, it was not a downpour but a continuous drizzle. The dense raindrops made the surrounding environment seem covered with a layer of mist. The desolate scene in the distance entered Ying's field of vision through the misty rain, just like an impressionistic ink painting.

At first, the arrival of rain added a bit of chilliness to the air, and Gu Ling complained about it. But on the second day, the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the earth again. The cold breath of winter had mostly disappeared, and waves of warmth began to emerge.

By the third day, the warmth in the air had convinced them that spring was on the way. Bathed in the warm sunshine, the gloom they had felt when they set out on their journey was swept away, as if the danger they had just experienced was gone and the future disasters had also disappeared.

But this feeling did not last long, and a week later they arrived at the Monster Swamp.

When they arrived near the swamp, there was an unpleasant smell in the air. The sunlight that had followed them all the way disappeared without a trace, and a layer of grayish-white substance obscured the light.

But Ying knew very well that it was not clouds, but a mist that carried the scent of decay and death.

Ying looked around and found that the swamp was equally vast and boundless. In her sight, she could only see some withered plants and dark brown quagmire. Bursts of smoke emitting a foul smell floated up from an unknown location and merged into the sky.

"It's so desolate." Ying sighed. Guiyan nodded silently. Gu Ling was also concentrating on controlling Tafeng. After confirming that there was no danger at the moment, she spoke:

"At the speed of walking on the wind, it will take about two days to cross here. It's better than I thought. If we walk on foot, I don't know how long it will take."

"It seems that there is no danger here during the day, but at night, we must be careful. It is best to find a place to stay. That place must be safe. Even if we are suddenly surrounded by monsters, we must be able to escape successfully. Do you understand?"

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. Just as Gu Ling finished her words, a sound was heard not far away.
