Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

There is a large lake to the north, which, at first glance, looks as wide as the ocean.

Ying and the others said goodbye to the unconscious monster, and just as the monster said, they reached the lake in just one day.

They traveled day and night, and fortunately the Fabregas carriage was tireless, so Ying and the others only needed to take turns keeping watch and controlling the carriage, and they could move forward safely. After all, only a few monsters could catch up with the carriage.

Moreover, even if a very fast monster really caught up with the carriage at night, Ying had the fighting power to rival that of an immortal with the help of the walking stick left by the earth immortal, so there was no need to worry at all.

It’s a pity that Ling Yue had consumed a lot of mana in order to deal with Wumian and Han Wei when she was in Linyuan City before, and she was in soul state and couldn’t recover her mana on her own. Now the mana in her body is less than 30% of the original, so naturally she had to save as much as possible.

Although she could also replenish her own magic power through the spiritual power attracted by Guiyan when Guiyan was practicing, the speed at which Guiyan absorbed spiritual energy was still too slow and could not meet Lingyue's needs in a short period of time.

The result is that from leaving Linyuan City to now, Ying has basically been fighting alone.

For this traveler who has traveled through many worlds, this was not the worst situation, but she had to admit that such continuous fighting and traveling made her feel quite tired.

Now they came to a big lake, and Ying felt that she could finally have a good rest.

“What a big lake.”

“What a blue lake!”

Ying and Guiyan both expressed their admiration for the big lake in front of them.

In front of them was a vast, boundless, and astonishingly blue lake.

As the saying goes: clear water is shallow, green water is deep, blue water is wide, and black water is deep.

The lake in front of him not only presented an enchanting blue color due to its vastness, but the water was also extremely clear. Ying could even see the situation at the bottom of the water with the naked eye.

Huh? Something's wrong!

Ying immediately discovered the problem - generally speaking, the deeper the water, the less light there is, and the darker it becomes, which is the origin of the saying "black water means deep water". It has nothing to do with whether the water itself is clean or not.

But now, Ying approached the lake cautiously, and found that she could directly see the situation at the bottom of the lake dozens of meters below, and it was extremely clear. If it were not for the deformation caused by the waves of the water, Ying would even ignore the existence of the water.

"Guiyan, be careful!"

Ying quickly stretched out a hand to block Guiyan behind her, preventing the innocent girl from getting close to danger without knowing it.

However, her action was obviously unnecessary. The soul in Guiyan's body, a powerful immortal known as Fairy Lingyue, had already informed Guiyan of the situation here.

"Don't worry, at least there won't be any danger here before dark."

Ling Yue's voice came out through Gui Yan's body. After she finished speaking, she looked around, sighed helplessly, and then said:

"But it looks like we can't get around this lake today."

Ying blinked at Lingyue, waiting for the other party's next words.

Ling Yue walked to the lakeside and could see the bottom of the lake at a glance. She raised her hand and pointed to an irregular spot on the bottom of the lake and said:

"Look, that place is probably the town where the monster we met yesterday used to live. Like I said, the town has been completely submerged by the lake."

Ying looked in the direction Lingyue pointed, and sure enough, she saw a complex of buildings. Through the azure blue water and the sunlight reflected on the water, everything in the lake looked like sculptures sealed in sapphire, looking both beautiful and strange.

"So they all turned into monsters?" Ying asked.

"Generally speaking, they should all have turned into monsters."

Hearing this, Ying also realized how dangerous this place was - an entire town of people turned into monsters. Not to mention their strength, their numbers alone were enough to kill them. Moreover, Ling Yue seemed to have a deep impression of this place, so she was afraid that the monsters here were also extraordinary in strength.

But Ling Yue seemed to be still not satisfied with the result and brought another bad news.

"I have another piece of bad news for you." Ling Yue said, "There are at least eight towns at the bottom of the lake."

"...Well, is there any good news?" Ying asked.

"No, but there is worse news." Ling Yue looked at the lake with fearful eyes. "I passed by here before when I was framed by the demon monks and was infected with demonic energy. At that time, I felt that there was a very powerful force calling me..."

Having said this, Ling Yue paused.

"To be precise, it is summoning me, Hei Lingyue, after I was corroded by the evil spirit. What does this mean? I am afraid that besides those townspeople, there are some other people corroded by the evil spirit under this lake."

Ying shrugged her shoulders and said with some disappointment:

"Then let's go quickly."

"What a shame," Ying thought to herself, "I thought I could finally take a break."

Ying's tired eyes and lost look seemed to hurt Ling Yue. She covered her chest and made a "hmm" sound, seeming to feel a little bit reluctant.

The next second, Ling Yue's voice rang in Ying's mind:

"You guy, did you do something to Guiyan when I was asleep before?"

"What's wrong with me?" Ying was confused at first, then she remembered what happened at that time.

"Ah... I was trying to comfort Guiyan. After all, she looked frightened."

But after experiencing sharing their bodies for some time, the two not only shared the same feelings, but also shared some common ideas. Ling Yue had obviously regarded Gui Yan as her own daughter, and after feeling the impulse in her heart, and thinking of Ying's identity as a "traveler", she felt like "her daughter fell in love with a heartless man".

"Since you won't marry me, then don't flirt with me!" Ling Yue said angrily in Ying's mind.

"But I can't just stand there and watch Guiyan being scared and do nothing." Ying responded helplessly.

There was no right or wrong in this kind of argument, so naturally there would be no conclusion. The two of them understood this, and they didn't want to make Gui Yan feel strange, so they ended the conversation quickly. However, Ling Yue would glare at Ying from time to time.

The most urgent task is to find a way to cross this lake and get to Tianya Island as soon as possible.

"This lake is too big. We can't get away from here before dark." Ling Yue analyzed, "We can only hurry as far as possible and set up a magic array before dark. I will set up a magic array with defense and concealment to guard against possible dangers and avoid being discovered by monsters. We will try to bypass it tomorrow morning."

"Can't we just fly over there? Or swim over there?" Ying asked. Although the wind field she could summon now was not high enough for her, it was definitely not enough for her to fly over the lake.

As for swimming, she just made a suggestion to prevent this most common situation from being ignored, after all, the swimming speed is still too slow.

"No," Ling Yue ruthlessly rejected Ying's proposal, "You can see that the water here is very strange. In fact, it contains magical power. Even a feather cannot float on it."

"It's the same if we fly over there. There's such a large area of ​​water full of mana here. Its influence has long gone beyond the water. Don't you feel that the mana in your body has become more difficult to circulate? Even if we circulate the mana now, we can't fly at all."

"Uh... I don't feel anything. I don't use any magic power." Ying scratched his face, wondering if this was another special feature of himself as an outsider.

However, after Ling Yue's reminder, Ying realized that there was not even a bird in the sky around her, and the surroundings were silent, as if it was an abandoned world.

This silence made Ying feel a chill in her heart, so she said to Ling Yue:

"Okay, just do as you say."

As soon as the words fell, a clear laugh came from the lake, accompanied by the sound of rippling water.

"Hehehe, do you two want to cross the lake?"

Ying and Lingyue looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that a small boat had appeared on the lake at some point.
