Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Want to run? No way!" Zi Xuan spun her staff and struck the ground.

Instantly, cones of ice shot up from the ground, freezing the ground into ice and blocking the fire ants' escape route. As the cold air surged, the two ants' movements became noticeably slower.

"Well done, Xuanxuan!" Kailin said excitedly, "Now let's settle all our old and new grudges together. Don't expect me to show any mercy."

As soon as the words fell, the wasp queen hung in the air without making any movement. Suddenly, it let out a sharp buzzing sound, and the buzzing sound echoed in the jungle, as if it was trying to gather the remaining troops for a final fight.

"Save energy. Your bee colony has already been burned to ashes by our people." Karin said with her hands on her hips.

At this moment, Mo Yan complained: "What's the point of talking nonsense with these monster-like creatures? Let's finish them quickly and get out of danger!"

"Oh, that's true. Hmm?" Karen nodded, but at this moment, the atmosphere around her changed again.

There were bursts of buzzing sounds in the forest, and the sound was like thunder, which once again sounded the alarm for everyone who had just relaxed their vigilance.

They looked around and suddenly saw many baby-sized hornets swarming around them.

"This is... a wasp? There are so many of them!"

Zhao Heng raised his gun and looked around. While wasp venom wasn't as potent as that of hornets, it was still equally troublesome. High above, a wasp the size of an adult landed next to a hornet queen. It looked like the queen of these hornets. Meanwhile, numerous black spots of varying sizes appeared among the surrounding trees.

They were bullet ants. Although they were only the size of a palm, their numbers were astonishing. Especially the bullet ant king hiding in a cave in the cliff behind him, which was completely larger than the red fire ant king.

This was bad news. We were so focused on reducing our forces that we forgot about these two species. He Qi had previously told us that as the hornets and fire ants became more active, other creatures in the jungle were indirectly joining in, with the largest numbers being wasps and bullet ants. But we forgot about this during our planning.

At this moment, the hornet queen's claws twitched slightly, making a squeaking sound, as if mocking everyone for falling into a trap.

"Tsk, this guy is so proud!" Karen said gritting her teeth as she looked at the Wasp Queen.

"We were careless. These bugs probably knew that we would find a way to deal with them, so they made secondary preparations." Mo Yan said seriously.

"What should we do now?" Zhao Heng asked.

"What else can I do? I can't escape. Even if I do, the village will still be in trouble. I don't want to hear others shouting slogans and get expelled." Karen said.

Hearing this, Mo Yan gave a wry smile and said, "Give it a try? Well, then we can only fight to the death!"

"Destroy everything together? This is not a rational choice!"

Just as they finished speaking, a familiar voice echoed through the forest. Suddenly, tens of thousands of flames rained down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the insects closest to them were completely devoured by the flames, leaving only a pile of ash. When the four of them looked up again, the fiery red cockscomb was particularly eye-catching.

"Akaye?" the four of them said in unison.

"Hey, everyone, are you okay? Did you miss me after not seeing me for a few days?" Akano smiled slightly, turned around with the knife in his hand and greeted everyone.

Seeing this, the four of them immediately became excited.

"Why are you here?" Kailin asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm here to see an old friend." After saying that, Akano looked at the black swarm of insects in front of him again and said, "However, I didn't expect you to cause such a big mess."

When Kailin heard this, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Can you blame us for this? We're not feeling well either."

"Chiye, you have to be careful. These bugs are not easy to deal with." Zixuan reminded.

At this moment, Akano smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, and I'm not here alone."

"Not alone?"

Everyone was stunned. At that moment, the flames still burning on the ground suddenly changed shape, transforming into sharp barbs that quickly flew towards the insect swarm. The wasps and bullet ants were caught off guard and their bodies were pierced by the flame poison, causing them to scream in pain. The flames raged through the insect swarm, burning them with crackling sounds, and for a moment, the insect swarm was thrown into chaos.

At the same time, a man dressed in strange purple clothing... emerged from the woods to the side of the group.

He? He has short green hair and a serious and handsome face.

"Ha...your friends can really mess me up." The man said.

Hearing the voice, the four of them were stunned again, because it was a girl's voice. Although it was a bit harsh, it was still quite nice.

"Who is she?" Kailin looked at Chiye and asked.

Seeing this, Akano smiled and said, "She is the poison spirit, Yang."

"You said she is..." Karen stared.

To be honest, if Akano hadn't said that, I would have thought she was a handsome guy, but it turns out she was a tomboy.

Yang slowly walked out of the woods, holding a green spiked spear. She looked at the swarm of insects with complete disdain.

"How is it? Do you need help?" Akano asked.

Yang folded his arms and replied, "No, I don't care about these little bugs at all."

"Really? Then good luck to you!" After saying that, Akano stood in the middle of the four people and deliberately led them to lean back.

At this moment, Yang leaped in front of the Wasp Queen, then stood there and glared at it.

Judging from the look in the other party's eyes, the Queen Wasp clearly felt threatened. Not only did her wings flap more violently, but the sound also became harsher.

"Come on, let me see your strength!" Yang said coldly, her voice low but full of dominance. She shook the spear in her hand slightly, and the tip of the spear flashed with an eerie light, as if to express its extraordinary power.

The queen hornet seemed to be angered by Yang's contemptuous attitude. It made another insect-like chirping sound, and in an instant all the swarms pointed their stingers at her. It called out again, and tens of thousands of stingers were instantly ejected and flew towards her like rain.

Seeing this, Yang gently waved the spear in his hand, and with a wave of his arm, he collected all the poison needles.

"No way, so many needles, and she just waved her hand and made them all disappear?" Karen exclaimed.

The scene just now reflected in everyone's eyes made them feel even more incredible.

At this moment, Akano smiled slightly and said, "Of course. Have you heard of fighting fire with fire? Sometimes, you need to find a professional to handle it."

Not far away, the scene just now flashed in the compound eyes of the wasp queen, and the vibration of its wings became more violent, but it was more of fear than anger.

It hissed again, then unleashed its stinger while Yang was off guard. The sharp, poisonous needle sliced ​​through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and instantly pierced Yang's left shoulder.

Seeing this scene, the four of them became anxious again.

"Not good!" Karen said anxiously.

But Akano didn't care at all and instead smiled.

"Don't worry, this trick won't work on her."
