Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 312: Sand Scorpion Chapter (3)

Back on the ground, Yang stepped towards the haze in front of him, only to see the sand and smoke rolling, agitated, and churning in the sky, like a giant python in the sand rising into the sky.

The defeated minions, out of fear, rose up and fled in all directions. Some hid in basements, some in houses. However, out of fear, many were turned away by those who had entered the houses first.

The howling of the wind, the terrified cries of fleeing, and the resentment that has nowhere to hide intertwine together to form a desperate and tragic song that echoes in the sky covered by yellow sand.

But she ignored them and continued to move forward towards the sandstorm with her spear in hand.

After the roar, the fierce wind and yellow sand arrived as expected. The maze outside the camp was twisted, broken, destroyed, and finally annihilated in the raging sand.

"You're kidding! You want to stop the sandstorm yourself? That's just unbelievable!"

These were the words Kailin shouted to herself as she left. Of course, she understood that, since ancient times, mortals' methods in the face of natural disasters were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. But so what? As long as one lives in this world, one will inevitably face trials. No matter how one tries to escape, "danger" will always be there.

As mentioned before, to survive in this world, you must experience pain. Only by struggling in pain and turning over in despair can you find the life that belongs to you.

We do this not to prolong our lives, nor to enjoy more comfort, but to live for the sake of living!

"Today, I will challenge the natural disaster with my mortal body, and use this 'wound' to declare to you, why sacrifice your life? To survive!"

Dust rolled in with devastating force, uprooting everything in its path. In the apocalypse, a flash of cold light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand thorns rose from the ground, entwining and tangling around the camp, transforming into a sturdy vine wall in the blink of an eye.

The vine wall resisted the ravages of the strong wind, while the sharp thorns of the brambles were broken by the whistling sound and flew with the raging sand.

They "took root" in the air and grew more thorns, which intertwined with the walls.

Yang stood in front of the storm, and no matter how the wind tore at him or how the sand hit him, he never took a step back.

Even if one is guarding, one cannot help but feel timid in the face of natural disasters. However, rising above fear is the reason why one cannot lose! Just like the seven-day agreement a thousand years ago.

Put yourself to death and survive!

"I was shaped by a thousand poisons, and I returned to the forest after sacrificing my life. My name is Poison Spirit, and with this, I returned to life after sacrificing my life!"

The elements surged, transforming into a giant green python rising from it. The python meandered upwards along the sand and thorns, and the phantom shape that covered the sky and the sun bound everything together.

The giant python bound the sandstorm tightly, like a natural hunt, strangling the opponent's throat tightly.

It was perched high in the clouds, looking down at the dust, its bloody mouth wide open, and leaning down. In the blink of an eye, the sandstorm dissipated, leaving behind only a slightly quiet campsite, like the swiftly dissipating debris of fireworks after a burst of light.

At this moment, Yang stood in place. The elemental explosion just now had caused her to suffer a backlash. The poison had spread along the blue veins and left dangerous marks on her body.

She gasped and slowly stood up despite the pain. She looked back and found that Mo Yan and Kailin had come to the surface at some point, and the civilians and villains hiding in the basement were also tied up and brought to the surface with them.

"Yang, are you okay?" Mo Yan ran towards her anxiously.

Yang Weiwei stood up and asked with a slightly surprised look, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay down there?"

"Because we're worried about you," Kailin said. Then, looking at the veins on Yang's body that were dyed green by the toxin, she asked, "By the way, are you okay?"

Yang did not reply immediately, but sighed softly. After a short breath, the poisonous marks on his body became noticeably lighter.

"Don't worry. Those who use poison will eventually get into trouble. I'm used to this. Don't worry about it. Instead of this, let's solve the eye problem first." As she spoke, she looked at the civilians behind the two of them.

After surviving the disaster, some of them were relieved, some were afraid, and some were looking for places to hide.

At this moment, Yang walked towards the crowd and asked again, "How is it? What does it feel like to have experienced death and survived a catastrophe?"

"I understand you have your own ideas and fears. I won't force you to be like me, risking your own life to fight the sandstorm alone. But at least don't forget this feeling you had today. Remember, danger and death are always around the corner."

She turned and said, "Well, the spring is destroyed. Considering you are victims and sufferers, I will not pursue the matter of the spring. But you are an exception, Shanlin. As an official of Shaling, you secretly colluded with the gang, not only embezzling the funds for rebuilding the village, but also committing the serious crime of kidnapping and extortion."

Shanlin walked out and sighed. His face was already a little haggard. "I naturally know that the sins I committed cannot be forgiven, so I won't pray for anything."

Yang folded her arms in surprise and asked, "Oh, with your personality, you're giving up just like that?"

Shanlin snorted coldly and replied, "Would running away be useful? With Youlong's strength, I think he'll be caught up no matter where he goes."

"You're quite self-aware." Yang lowered his hands and then turned his gaze to Mo Sha standing beside him. "And you, I've already said everything I need to say. Do I need to repeat myself?"

Mo Sha curled his head, snorted coldly and did not reply. Seeing this, Yang stopped asking questions.

"Okay, Karen, use your ability to send them back as soon as possible to prevent any accidents. I will then ask Youlong and the others to clean up this place." She looked at Karen seriously and said.

Karen was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted.

"Oh well."

She stood in place and used the Moon Saint's ability to open up a transmission channel back to Shaling.

After returning to the rainforest tribe, Yang handed everything over to Youlong. After Mosha was imprisoned, all the civilians and other personnel who were involved were imprisoned together. Gradually, they became busy until dusk.

At this time, Mo Yan and Kailin came to Yang's castle again, but unlike before, this time, Yang was standing on the top floor of the castle, looking at the scenery in the distance.

"Huh? You're here." As if she had sensed the presence of the two people, she turned around and said calmly.

Kailin nodded and said, "Well, Youlong took care of all the work by himself. We came to you when we had nothing else to do."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work today. Also, I apologize again to you two for my decision." Yang bowed his head and apologized, and this time it was Karen who felt embarrassed.

She scratched her head and smiled, "It's okay. After going through so much, we're friends now. It's only natural to endure a little hardship for a friend. However, next time if this happens, I'd like you to explain it clearly in advance."

"Do you want there to be a next time?" Mo Yan complained with his hands folded.

Seeing the two like this, Yang chuckled softly. "Friends? That's true. In the past, because of the rainforest disaster, I gradually closed off my emotions. Aside from Akano and Youtaki, I had almost no normal friends around me. Of course, this was also my own choice. Because of the curse of immortality, I was forever frozen in the year of adulthood. I was afraid of losing them again, so I adopted a cold and harsh attitude to package myself."

"This is probably one of the reasons why you are tired of the Holy Lord." Mo Yan said.

Yang nodded, lowered her head and smiled, saying, "Well, to be honest, if it weren't for that guy's persistent personality, I'm afraid I would have been out of touch with this world a long time ago. Although it's annoying sometimes, it really makes me feel a little uncomfortable without him around."

Hearing this, Kailin leaned closer to Mo Yan's ear and whispered, "Sure enough, Sister Yang and Chi Ye are a couple."

Yang turned to look out the window and continued, "So, this position is not an honor to me, but a shackle. I rebelled against immortality and restored life to people, but I alone bore the poison of immortality. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm crazy."

"But if we hadn't done that, the rainforest might have ceased to exist that year," said Karen.

"Maybe. Who knows, maybe someone else will step forward. If I had the chance again, I would do the same, because 'Rainforest' has never been just me. Reforms inevitably involve sacrifice, and 'vitality' isn't just a fleeting pleasure."

Yang sighed softly, then lowered her head, turned around and passed by the two of them.
