Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 285: Fighting Poison with Poison

The stinger pierced Yang's left shoulder. Seeing this, the hornet king's claws twitched slightly and he became proud again, but the next second, his movements froze in an instant as if he was frightened.

Yang looked at the stinger on his left shoulder, then looked at the Queen Wasp in the air, his expression showing no sign of poisoning at all.

"Is this your poison?" Yang gently pulled out the poison needle on the tip of the needle. Then her wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Humph, it's so weak!"

A flash of fear flashed across the wasp king's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness. It emitted a series of sharp chirps, as if issuing a final death order.

The already chaotic swarm of wasps and bullet ants rushed towards Yang again, recklessly. The dense swarm of insects surged like a black tide, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

Yang snorted coldly and spun the spear rapidly in her hand. A strange green screen gradually appeared around the spear. She began to gather the poison and compressed this power to the extreme.

"You dare to use poison in front of me? You are just asking for trouble!"

She waved her arm, and the poison gathered in her body turned into several short, thin sharp thorns in an instant, instantly piercing into the chest of each insect.

Snapped!

In the blink of an eye, the concentrated toxins exploded among the insect swarm like time bombs.

First, the front row of wasps and bullet ants exploded with a bang, their bodies swelling several times over before splattering thick fluids and tiny fragments of body parts onto the surrounding insects. Then, the explosion spread rapidly throughout the swarm, the sound of explosions echoing endlessly, like a grand yet terrifying fireworks display.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, mixed with the bloody scent of exploding insects, making it nauseating. The shattered insect carcasses flew everywhere, some crashing onto tree trunks, others falling into the fallen leaves on the ground, transforming the once peaceful forest into a devastating mess.

The insects that hadn't yet reached Yang were also shattered by the sudden explosion. The sight of the poison needles detonating the toxins within his body was like when Elist used rose petals to transform invisible blood into hard, sharp thorns that pierced through his body.

Witnessing this scene, the wasp queen trembled uncontrollably, its compound eyes filled with despair and unwillingness. Yet, it still held onto a glimmer of hope, flapping its wings in an attempt to escape this land of death. However, Yang would not let it go so easily.

The Fire Ant King and the Bullet Ant King were the first to run, but were immediately struck by the sparks sent down by Chi Ye. Then came the Wasp King, who used it as a shield. After blocking Yang's spear, it exploded and died like the other insects.

However, this did not change the outcome. Yang leaped forward, pulled out the spear stuck in the wasp queen's body, spun around in mid-air, and hurled the spear. A flash of cold light passed, and the wasp queen had no time to react before the spear hit her, detonating the poison sac in her body and instantly exploding into death.

Looking at this scene, the four of them stood there, mouths open, not knowing what to say. After a long while, Kailin was the first to break the silence, exclaiming, "This, this is too amazing!"

"Of course, this is the power of the poisonous spirit." Akano folded his hands, very proud.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. If the situation wasn't so dire that it couldn't be handled, I wouldn't bother with this." Yang walked towards the group, then put one hand on his hip. "You're the outsiders who wanted to see me before, right? It seems like you guys have a good relationship."

She looked at Mo Yan and the other four, then at Chi Ye who was standing beside her. At this moment, Chi Ye stepped forward and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yang. Yes, they are my new friends. Although they may seem clueless during this crisis, they helped me a lot in Sangang Bay before."

"Is that so? Then what does it have to do with me?" She folded her hands and said coldly, which immediately silenced everyone.

Akano smiled helplessly and said, "Don't say that. At least they helped you unite the people of the tribe."

"Yes, but they also caused this disaster." Yang said calmly, then looked at Mo Yan and the others again and said, "Well, considering that you united those guys, I won't pursue it with you."

Hearing this, Kailin was silent for a moment and then said: "Uh, Chiye, your friend is really unique..."

After hearing this, Chiye smiled helplessly and said nothing. Yang put down his hand and said coldly: "Whatever you say, didn't you say you wanted to see me before? For this guy's sake, I will give you a chance."

"Huh?" Kailin was stunned again. It wasn't because of this sudden opportunity, but because of her personality. How should I put it... it's a bit hard to put into words.

"Oh, I still have some things to do now. Find some time to come to my house tomorrow. I'm always here to accompany you. But you have to seize the opportunity. It's best to think things through carefully." She sighed, turned around and left the forest.

At this moment, Kailin stood there, and after hearing those words, she really didn't know how to express her feelings at the moment.

"What? Why do you say it as if you only want to see our side?" She asked with her hands spread out.

Akano smiled helplessly and said, "That's what she meant."

"what?"

"I've said it before, Du Ling's personality is similar to Lei Zun's. They are both the type that don't want to be close to others. At that time, I had to coax her and persuade her to establish a good relationship with me." Chi Ye shrugged.

"Is there such a thing? But speaking of it, weren't you in Sangang Bay? Why did you come to Shaling?" Kailin asked.

Akano folded his arms and replied, "I'm just worried that you'll be turned away. To be frank, with Xiao Yang's personality, it's almost impossible for anyone else to meet her except me and some of her followers."

After hearing this, Kailin said awkwardly, "I see. Your guess is quite accurate. She did indeed reject us during the day."

Mo Yan nodded: "Yes, and they were forcibly driven away."

puff-

Hearing this, Akano couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I heard what she said. I can only hope that you deserved it. Who told you to discuss her affairs in front of her? Although it is partly Tianlang's fault."

"Okay, it's getting late. Now that everything is settled, let's go back." After saying that, Chi Ye turned around and walked towards where Yang left.

In the village, the insect plague finally subsided thanks to everyone's concerted efforts. The villagers, initially terrified by the ravages of the insect swarm, now looked on as peace gradually returned to the village, their hearts filled with relief at having survived.

At that moment, Long Xianlin was directing everyone to clean up the mess. In a booming voice, he instructed the villagers to clear the charred insect carcasses from the ground and repair the damaged houses and fences. Under his command, the entire village was busy but orderly.
