Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"Is there treasure underwater?" Ying said with some surprise. Her habit of adventuring in the continent of Teyvat made her have an extraordinary passion for such things.

"That's worth seeing." She was about to say this, but Ling Yue suddenly spoke:

"Do you know what dangers are under the lake?"

Gu Ling looked at Ling Yue, her little head still raised high.

"Of course I know. The townspeople of the eight towns turned into monsters, and there were two earthly immortal monks who were attracted and possessed. The one in the center of the lake is the weirdest, but I'm not sure about the details yet."

"Could it be that our target is in the center of the lake?" Ying was reminded of the dangers at the bottom of the lake because of their conversation and had a bad feeling.

"That's right! The younger generation is very smart!" Gu Ling put her hands on her hips and smiled, revealing her white teeth.

"That means you are not sure about the dangers we are about to encounter?" Ling Yue said.

"Ha, why do you think I came here so many days in advance? Don't worry, when we are underwater later, just listen to me, senior."

Gu Ling stuck out her tongue at Ling Yue, and was very dissatisfied with this disobedient junior.

"Or do you intend to challenge the authority of your predecessors?"

"That's not the case." Ling Yue said this, but she complained in her heart: "It's better to say that I don't feel your authority at all."

But considering Gu Ling's temper, she would definitely not say this out loud. What she said in the end was:

"I just want to be as fully prepared as possible. I don't want what happened in Linyuan City to happen again."

Although the final outcome of Linyuan City was a lose-lose situation, in Lingyue's opinion, it was a great shame and humiliation for her, a cultivator from Tianya Island who had entered the Earthly Immortal Realm for a long time, to be schemed against by several demonic cultivators who had not yet entered the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Therefore, although the people from Tiancang Sect expressed their gratitude to her, she still felt that she was partly responsible for Bai Shang's death.

"Linyuan City?" Gu Ling tilted her head in surprise, and then said:

"I don't know what happened in Linyuan City, but according to Master, the demon cultivators there have been planning for many years. Unless the cultivators close to the Heavenly Immortal Realm take action, the outcome will be difficult to change."

"When you arrive at Linyuan City, the plans of those demonic monks should have reached the final stage. No matter how fast you are, you will not be able to stop them. So as long as the city is not completely destroyed, you will be considered successful."

Although Gu Ling's words seemed to be comforting Ling Yue, Ling Yue did not feel very happy after hearing them.

"And you don't need to make any preparations now. I have already done everything that needs to be done here for you. Just listen to me."

"Okay, then tell me, what should we do?" Ying asked

"We don't really have to go underwater, do we? I, I'm not very good at swimming yet." Gui Yan regained control of his body and said a little embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, I will cast a water-avoiding spell on you, which will allow you not to be afraid of water for a whole month."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to say anything else, Gu Ling directly formed a magic formula with her hands, and immediately a faint light enveloped everyone, and then slowly dissipated after a moment.

Ying checked her body and didn't find anything wrong, but she didn't feel any different either.

However, for Ying, swimming is not a difficult thing, but she has never experienced diving. She originally thought that she could experience diving only when she arrived in Fontaine, but she did not expect that the opportunity to dive would appear in front of her like this.

"Let's go, my lovely juniors, you must follow me closely!" Gu Ling shouted with a smile, and then threw the straw hat on her head and the raincoat on her back into the sky. The raincoat immediately turned into long ropes to tie up the three of them, and the straw hat turned into a flying disc-like thing, lifting the two of them up.

The bamboo hat carried the two of them flying towards the center of the lake. The strong wind made Ying unable to open her eyes. Considering that Guiyan was not strong enough, she had to stand in front of Guiyan to avoid hurting Guiyan due to the strong wind.

As for Gu Ling, she was rowing the boat alone, following behind the two people. Although she was small in size, she was very strong. She rowed the boat lightly and was not slower than the two people flying in the sky - even though the three of them were tied up and flew into the sky.

"We're here! Are you ready to go in the water?" Gu Ling shouted excitedly. I wonder if she particularly likes diving.

Ying was looking at the bottom of the lake, especially when she saw the clearly visible towns below, a sense of crisis began to spread in her heart.

"Lingyue, are you sure we are safe like this?" Ying asked hurriedly.

"She did cast a spell to keep us from getting wet... Let's just believe her, regardless of whether what she said is true or not—"

But just as Ling Yue said this, Gu Ling's hat suddenly threw them down and returned to Gu Ling's head.

In the end, Ying could only hear the remaining unclear words of Ling Yue after she was soaked in the water:

"——Just for the sake of Immortal Zhenyuan, we have to go and take a look."

Ying was originally worried that she would feel uncomfortable after suddenly entering the water, or even that the water itself might be harmful, but in the end, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.

The water was very mild, without the biting cold of winter, and without any unknown pollutants dissolved in the water to irritate her eyes, which allowed Ying to open her eyes in the water easily.

Through the clear water, Ying saw Guiyan and herself slowly sinking. The sunlight was broken by the ripples on the water, forming bright spots that were projected onto their faces. The surrounding water was also dotted with shining spots of light, as if sparkling gems were suspended in the water.

Guiyan was too scared to open her eyes. Her furrowed brows and clenched fists clearly showed her inner worry.

Ying knew that Guiyan would open his eyes after a while, after confirming that there was no danger in the water, so she shifted her gaze away from Guiyan and looked towards the underwater town closest to them.

Although they were far away from the lakeshore, they were still quite a distance from the center of the lake. It seemed that although Gu Ling was bold and arrogant, she also knew not to rush into danger.

Now they were above the town closest to the lakeshore. Through the clear lake water, they could easily see the whole picture of the town. It was unknown how long those buildings had been submerged in water, but there was no sign of damage at all.

You can even see markets and hotels in the town, and there are even footprints on the ground left by many people coming and going, as if this ruined town is still "alive".

The mottled light on the water surface is projected onto the town, making it look like an invisible net that covers the entire town.

In a hole in the net, Ying suddenly saw a window, and there was a person sitting inside the window.

The man's face was pale, but his lips were surprisingly red. Although she was looking down from a high place, Ying could clearly see the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps he felt Ying's gaze, or maybe it was just an unintentional action, the person in the window raised his head and looked in Ying's direction, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious.

Then, a fish came out of his mouth.
