Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"Forget it, let's just walk on foot."

Gu Ling sighed. This time the carriage got stuck in the mud and she almost fell to the ground.

Ying looked around and saw that all she could see was land that looked almost the same as normal except for a slight stench. But no one could have imagined that one of the plots of land would suddenly turn into a deep quagmire the moment you stepped on it.

Being trapped in a swamp is no joke. Although the swamp will not trap people like them who have the power of immortals, the real danger comes from underground.

The monsters that are active during the day are not very powerful. The monsters that come out from the ground at night are the biggest threat in this swamp.

Gu Ling stood on tiptoe, looked around, and then pointed towards the east:

"Let's continue to go east, a little bit north of the east. Let's go that way. I remember there is a road there, which was built by the monks from Tianya Island and Wanxian Pavilion. We will be safe once we get there."

The road jointly built by Tianya Island and Wanxian Pavilion is in the east, but they cannot confirm the direction now, so they have to move towards a location slightly north. In this way, their route will definitely intersect with that road, and at most they will need to go back a little.

So, Ying and the others continued to move forward along this route. Having witnessed the horror of the monster army before, they did not dare to stay for too long. They continued to travel through the swamp until night fell.

The swamp was indeed more terrifying at night. When the sun was just covered by the horizon, the surrounding gray fog and thick clouds impatiently swallowed up all the light around it, and the heavy darkness instantly made everyone lose their sight.

Ying quickly took out the lumen stone catalyst, but Gu Ling stopped her the moment she saw the light.

"Hehe, it turns out that you still have to rely on me, Senior, at this time. You actually dare to use the light source here. Aren't you worried that those underground monsters will come out and pounce on you directly?"

"That's right." Ying thought about it and decided to put away the catalyst, but her eyes could not adapt to the endless darkness. She put her hands in front of her eyes, close to her face, but even so, she still could not see her fingers.

"It's pitch dark." Ying sighed, but suddenly felt something soft touching her forehead, and then everything in front of her became clear again.

Although her vision now was still not as good as that in the daytime, it was like looking around with a tiny firefly, but at least she could distinguish things. Ying raised her eyes and looked, and sure enough, Gu Ling had cast a spell on her and Gui Yan.

"There's more." Gu Ling seemed dissatisfied with the light. She arched her nose and tapped Ying's brow again. This time, Ying found that she could see the surrounding situation clearly.

It's just... everything around me seems a little strange.

"This is... thermal imaging?!"

"Ugh, I made a mistake again! Don't worry!"

Ying was not in a hurry. She watched Gu Ling dancing and tapped her forehead in a hurry. In this way, she tapped her forehead three times.

"This time, this time it's okay, right?"

Ying rubbed her eyes. She was not used to the thermal imaging vision. Although it was still clear, it made her eyes feel very tired, just like a person who was not nearsighted suddenly wearing a pair of high-power glasses.

Fortunately, this time Gu Ling's magic was finally successful. Ying's eyes became clear and the surrounding objects were as if under soft light. All the details and textures were clearly visible, but the light gray sky indicated that it was still night.

However, Ying's expression did not get better because of the clear vision. Although she did feel a little happier when she saw the surroundings clearly, this emotion soon disappeared when she saw the monsters constantly drilling out from the ground.

They were some pitch-black monsters, similar in shape to humans, but much taller than normal humans. The smallest monster was two meters tall.

Two huge eyes are located on their foreheads. Under the light gray eyelids are cloudy gray pupils. There is no distinction between the whites of the eyes and the pupils, which makes their eyes look lifeless.

Their skin was covered with holes of various sizes and shapes. Liquids transformed from some rotten plants kept flowing out of those holes, even accompanied by a series of dark yellow bubbles. The hole on their abdomen was the largest, and the deep part was covered with sharp teeth, and dark yellow liquid also flowed out.

Less than ten minutes after nightfall, the monsters that filled almost the entire swamp emerged silently from the ground. They made no sound in the process, and their pitch-black skin allowed them to blend perfectly into the night, which was why Ying had not been able to detect their presence before.

"Ying, are those the monsters from underground?"

Guiyan's voice rang in Ying's ears. This time, she took out the key of the Holy Manifestation that Ying gave her, ready to assist Ying at any time.

After feeling Ying's gaze, she said stubbornly, half to respond to Ying and half to encourage herself and dispel the fear in her heart:

"I've learned a few spells as well, so I can help out there."

Ying was still a little worried. She was not sure about the strength of these monsters. She was worried that when they started fighting, she would not be able to take care of Guiyan. However, Gu Ling quickly said:

"No problem, don't worry, just leave it to me."

After saying that, Gu Ling used her magic power to cut her finger, then smeared the seeping red blood on Gui Yan's palm, drew a mysterious rune, and then muttered something and tapped Gui Yan's forehead again.

After doing all this, Ying suddenly felt that there was something extra in Guiyan's body, which greatly increased Guiyan's magic power.

"This, what is this?!" Gui Yan noticed the changes in himself and was immediately surprised and happy.

"Hehe, this is a spell that I, the senior, created. Now I am sharing my own magic power with you. Before dawn, you will have a magic power level comparable to mine."

"Why didn't you use such a good spell earlier?" Ying asked hurriedly, and she was naturally referring to the time in the lake before.

"You think I didn't work before? It's just that I failed before."

The three of them did not stop during the conversation. They looked at the monsters around them and found a place with fewer monsters to move forward. They also tried their best to keep their voices down during the process. After Gu Ling finished her last sentence, they all shut up.

But since this is a well-known dangerous place, it is certainly not so easy to break through.

Ying and the others walked quietly for a while. The monsters did not move at first, but as they got closer and closer to the monsters, Ying felt that eyes were constantly converging on them.

But they still gritted their teeth and walked in the designated direction. They had no danger along the way. Just as they were about to break through the encirclement of the monsters, suddenly an arm stretched out from the ground and grabbed towards Ying with roars.
