Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Yeah, that's true." White Wolf nodded.

The two were quite far away at this point, and they didn't move out until the wolves had completely passed the road.

"Wow, that was really thrilling..." said the White Wolf with a long sigh.

"What? Do you want to keep going forward?" Qi Yong asked.

"Of course, how can we not investigate it thoroughly at this point?" Bai Lang said with a firm look in his eyes.

Qi Yong shrugged helplessly: "Okay, let's move on. But don't act rashly again."

The two continued to move forward along the mountain road, and the fog around them seemed to be thinner.

As the road ahead became clearer and clearer, the two actually saw a camp in the valley.

"This is... a tent? And there are so many of them. How could there be so many tents in this mountain?" White Wolf asked in surprise.

Just as he was wondering, suddenly, an armed sentry walked out of the camp.

Seeing this, he and Qi Yong immediately hid behind a rock. He poked his head out slightly and saw the sentry look around and then return to the camp.

"They're so brave that they're setting up camp in this monster-infested mountain. They're so brave," Qi Yong said, then looked at Bai Lang and asked, "Why, do you want to keep going? The answer is already obvious."

White Wolf lowered his head and thought for a moment: "No, at least find out the origins of these people first."

"Huh?" Qi Yong was stunned, then slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "You, now is not the time to show off."

"I'm not showing off," White Wolf said. "With our current number, we don't have to worry about being discovered if we want to find out what's going on here. Besides, if we go down the mountain now, we'll probably run into the wolf pack again."

Qi Yong sighed, "After all this talk, you still want to figure it out on your own, right? But there's some truth to what you said last time. It's easier to go up the mountain than down. If you run into something unexpected on the way down, it's not worth it. But are you sure you can get away with it after figuring it out?"

"I'm not sure." White Wolf said decisively, "But I grew up here as a warrior. I once swore an oath that even if I die, I will give everything for the people of Linhui!"

"Really..." Qi Yong folded his arms and shook his head helplessly, "Have to say, you two really do look a bit alike."

"Like? Who does he look like?" White Wolf was stunned and then asked.

"It's nothing. Just do what you want. Remember to be careful." Qi Yong put down his hands and said with a smile.

Bai Lang nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them began to discuss their next move again.

White Wolf lowered his voice and said, "Let's go around the camp and check if there are any weak spots."

Qi Yong nodded in agreement: "Okay, but we have to be careful of their patrols. The sentry just now seemed very alert."

So, the two of them cautiously moved along the edge of the camp, using the rocks as cover to quietly observe the movements within the tent. From time to time, strange noises could be heard from the camp, like the humming of some mechanical device, mixed with the low chanting of incantations, which was quite eerie.

With doubts, the two sneaked into the camp. On the way, they deliberately avoided the sentries who were checking the post. Like ghosts in the dark night, they shuttled through the shadows between the tents.

Suddenly, they saw two sentries who were deserting their duty, so they crept closer and began to eavesdrop.

"This project is really big." said one of the men.

"Yeah, if it weren't for the doctor's machinery, even if we dug for a month, I'm afraid we wouldn't get any results."

"Yes, but don't you find it strange that this operation does not involve any guardian credentials at all?"

"Indeed, but I heard that this operation was approved by the Demon Lord. Although I don't know the purpose, I heard that this area is full of volcanoes."

"Volcano? If we dig a hole here, we won't dig up magma, right?"

Hearing this, White Wolf was shocked: "Digging a volcano?"

Qi Yong quickly covered Bai Lang's mouth, signaling him to be quiet. He only released his hand after the two sentries walked away.

"Digging a volcano? This is no small matter. Once the volcano erupts, everything nearby will be destroyed." White Wolf frowned, his face full of worry.

Qi Yong nodded: "Yes, but in your current state, do you think you can defeat them?"

"Then I have to stop them!" White Wolf said seriously, "Although the village is some distance away from here, this area is connected. If the volcano erupts, it will cause a chain reaction. By then, everything here will be reduced to ashes."

He lowered his head and thought, "I remember they just mentioned the Doctor and the Demon Lord."

"Yes, I heard that too. Do you know them?"

"I don't know them, but I've heard of them." White Wolf shook his head and continued, "Earlier, Teacher Luo Hao sent a wanted notice from the border, and the doctor's name was on it. If I'm not mistaken, they should be members of the Fallen Angel Brigade."

"The Fallen Angel Troupe?" Qi Yong said calmly, "Are you talking about those people who have been causing such a bloody storm in Linhui recently?"

"That's right, Senior, you heard it too, didn't you? They said this time it has nothing to do with the Guardian Certificate."

Qi Yong nodded: "Indeed, if you put it that way, we really can't let them continue to do whatever they want."

At this point, he sighed again and said, "Alright then, but we still have to be careful. It would be difficult for us to fight head-on with just the two of us."

"Well, don't worry, I will be careful."

White Wolf nodded, and suddenly the sentry not far away shouted to the chatting sentries.

"Hey, what are you guys doing? Stop slacking off here and hurry up and deliver the things the doctor needs!"

"Oh, we'll be there right away!" the man replied, then lowered his head. "Really? You really know how to send people."

"Just bear with it. After all, that guy is the doctor chosen by the Demon Lord."

As soon as the two sentries finished speaking, they hurriedly carried the boxes and headed deeper into the camp. Bai Lang and Qi Yong exchanged glances and quietly followed.

They followed the sentry through several rows of tents and arrived at the rear of the camp. There was a hidden cave. The entrance looked unremarkable, barely wide enough for two or three people to pass through side by side. Two guards stood guard at the entrance, and after a brief conversation, the two sentries entered the cave.

"Oh my! There is such a big cave. It seems they have been digging here for more than one or two days." Qi Yong said.

Bai Lang said helplessly: "Senior, it's already this late, and you're still in the mood to joke around. The most urgent thing now is to figure out how to get in!"

"Oh? You want to go in?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind them. Bai Lang and Qi Yong were startled and turned around quickly, only to see a burly man standing behind them.

"Are you, Hong Tao?"
