Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"I just thought of it. Doesn't this name sound more intimate?" Karen said embarrassedly, scratching her head.

"I'm just very outgoing." Mo Yan complained with his hands spread out.

"You're the only one who talks too much!" she said angrily, her hands on her hips.

Seeing this, Yang shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, Sister Yang, just call her Sister Yang. I don't care much anyway."

She folded her arms and sighed, then looked at the snake's corpse again and said, "Alas, I wonder what's happening with Akano."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After separating from the rainforest, Zixuan, Zhao Heng and Chiye flew to another sealed place.

On the way, Zixuan took Zhao Heng with her on her magic wand, while Chiye found a flying dragon from somewhere as a mount.

"What a surprise! I didn't expect that besides Miss Karen's car, you also have this means of traveling long distances." Chi Ye looked at the flying staff under Zi Xuan, his eyes full of curiosity and a smile.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to come to you." Zi Xuan replied with a smile, "How far are we from the sealed area now?"

"It should be here soon. Compared to the quicksand area where the Yamata no Orochi is located, the volcano where the three-headed fire dragon is located is the most conspicuous. Look, we are almost there." He said, looking at the mountains in front.

Thick smoke billowed from the mountaintop, and hot air poured out from the cracks in the mountain, as if the earth was breathing. Scorching lava flowed slowly down the hillside, dyeing everything around it a fiery red.

"This is it." Chiye tightened the reins of his flying dragon and flew towards the crater first. Zixuan followed closely behind, controlling her staff and carefully approaching with Zhao Heng.

When they reached the edge of the volcano, a wave of heat suddenly hit them, making it almost impossible to breathe. The surrounding rocks were extremely hot and emitted a pungent sulphurous smell. Therefore, they had to stop on the mountainside and move forward slowly.

As soon as I set foot on land, I felt a burning sensation spread through my feet. It felt like the soles of my shoes were melting. The rocks beneath my feet were uneven, and every step was accompanied by a subtle creaking sound, the rock protesting as it turned brittle in the heat.

But the three of them didn't care about much. After searching for a while, Kailin and Zhao Heng followed Chi Ye along the safe route to the crater.

Thick smoke, mingled with the pungent smell of sulfur, filled the air as we walked, irritating us to the point of tears. Besides the whirring of the hot wind, there was also a dull roar from the volcano's interior, like the groaning of a giant beast, which made our hearts beat faster.

The ground beneath my feet occasionally vibrated slightly, as if the earth were trembling, and each time it did, it made me nervous. The stones on the roadside were also scorched by the high temperature, turning a strange black. Some had even melted and deformed, flowing into irregular shapes and emitting suffocating heat.

The air was incredibly hot, and they felt like they were trapped in a giant steamer. The moment the sweat seeped out of their skin, it evaporated instantly, leaving only a thin layer of salt. The sunlight, filtering through the smoke and heat, became distorted and hazy, adding a strange and oppressive atmosphere to the sky.

The closer they got to the crater, the more intense the heat surged, like a materialized wall, crashing down upon them, making it difficult to move forward. They were forced to squint to mitigate the scorching heat. Everything around them distorted in the intense heat, blurring their vision. They could only grope their way forward, relying on the hazy outlines of the surrounding landscape.

Finally, they arrived at the edge of the crater, but at this time, apart from the boiling hot magma at the bottom, there was almost nothing else to see.

Zhao Heng asked, "Is this the place where the three-headed flame dragon was sealed? Why is there nothing here?"

"Could it be that we arrived a step too late and the monster has already left somewhere else?" Zi Xuan said.

"It shouldn't be. The seal here has just been broken. If it had left long ago, we would have run into it when we came here. I think the three-headed dragon should still be sleeping soundly in the lava now." Akano replied.

"Is that so? I can understand that dragons live in magma, but sleeping in magma... I find it hard to imagine." Zhao Heng said.

Chi Ye shook his head and said, "It's okay. Ordinary people think that although dragon scales are strong and resistant to high temperatures, they can't survive long-term exposure to flames. However, some dragons are exceptions. Not only can their scales adapt to the temperature of magma, but under the constant erosion of magma, their scales are also stronger than ordinary dragon scales. Do you know the Demonic Dragon Caesar? He is one of the Six Evil Saints and the only dragon known to live in volcanic areas."

"So that's how it is. I haven't heard of it before. I'm really ignorant." Zhao Heng shrugged subconsciously.

At this moment, Zixuan's attitude seemed a little unnatural under the high temperature.

"It's so hot, I'm sweating a lot. I've never felt so stuffy in Sangyang before. I guess I have to ask Kailin if she has any cosmetics with her." She said in a daze and uncomfortably.

"Cosmetics? I thought you, a science student, didn't need such vulgar things." Zhao Heng looked at Zi Xuan with confusion. At this tense and dangerous moment, he really didn't expect her to suddenly talk about cosmetics.

Zixuan spread her hands and said, "I'm a girl after all, so I should pay attention to my appearance."

At this point, Chiye suddenly tensed up and said, "Enough of the small talk, it seems like something is about to come out of the volcano!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped chatting and focused their attention on the crater. The already roiling magma now surged violently, as if a huge rock had been thrown into it. Countless bubbles burst on the surface, making a gurgling sound and filling the air with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Suddenly, a thick pillar of fire shot up from the lava, reaching the sky and instantly dispersing the surrounding smoke. Within the pillar of fire, a gigantic figure loomed. As the pillar of fire gradually descended, the three-headed fire dragon finally fully revealed itself to everyone.

As its name suggests, this behemoth possesses three dragon heads, each as large as a small mountain. The sharp horns on these heads gleam with a metallic sheen, seemingly capable of tearing through anything with ease. Its body, vast as a seven-story old-fashioned building, winds and swirls within the lava, covered in thick, rock-like scales. Lava flows down along the lines of these scales, emitting a chilling aura in the intense heat.

The three-headed fire dragon slowly flapped its wings and stopped in front of everyone. The three pairs of eyes opened at the same time, and the scarlet gaze seemed like burning flames, like three suns that would never go out. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening dragon roar. The sound echoed in the crater, shaking the surrounding rocks to peel off and fall into the magma, splashing large amounts of hot magma foam.

"Is this the true form of the three-headed fire dragon?" Zi Xuan shouted, covering her ears.
