Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Dou Koda's one eye fixed on the docile mutant wolf, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. He slowly lowered his battle axe, and his armor made a heavy friction sound.

"Interesting..." His voice was filled with suppressed excitement. "Is this the technique of the Fallen Angel Troupe?"

Yite gently stroked the mutated bone spurs of the demon wolf: "Of course not, although it's just the tip of the iceberg. But imagine if all of your beasts and monsters achieved this kind of evolution..."

"That combat power is truly unprecedented." Dou Kouda pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly again, "I have to admit, your move does have me a little tempted. But I still say, how can you guarantee that this isn't another trap you've set? You said you're collaborating with us for no other reason than to seize the guardian credentials, but having learned from past experiences, I have to be cautious. After all, our barbarians aren't worth the trouble you've taken to win us over, are they?"

Yite's lips curled up with a hint of evil charm: "Of course it's for revenge..."

Upon hearing this, Dou Kouda was stunned. He frowned but said nothing.

"To avenge the death of our ancestors, we must seek revenge on Lei Zun. Isn't this the reason why you barbarians left Linglang and lived in foreign countries for a long time?" Ite said with a smile.

Dou Koda's single eye shrank instantly: "So, isn't this well known?"

"A thousand years ago, because of the appearance of Thunder Lord Li Xueyan, your ancestors and people from other tribes were killed in the melee by the wrath of thunder, and no one survived. Afterwards, the six major tribes were unified. The descendants of your ancestors left Linglang in anger because they were ashamed of her actions and established their own country outside. It was at that time that you were labeled as barbarians." Yite stood in place, explaining what happened that year.

Hearing this, Dou Kouda clenched his fists again and said, "You know quite a lot. You're right. It's a pity that what happened back then is rarely mentioned today, and her atrocities have long been taken for granted in the eyes of the world."

"That's why I chose to cooperate with you. And over the years, you have conducted in-depth investigations into her, right?" Yite said with an evil smile on his face.

Dou Kouda snorted coldly: "It seems that your intelligence network is indeed powerful. Fine, then I will believe your sincerity for the time being, but what if I find out that you are playing tricks on us..."

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand and clenched it forward. The mutant wolf exploded and died in the blink of an eye.

"This is what happens!"

Looking at the bloody wreckage on the ground, the smile on Etter's face remained undimmed. He first expressed surprise, then clapped his hands lightly.

"Hmm~ Impressive, worthy of being the Barbarian leader. Even without the contract to assist and bless you, your elemental power is still at its peak."

"Hmph, there's no need to flatter me here. You just need to know the consequences of your cleverness. Don't think that you can be arbitrary and authoritarian just because you inherited the corrupt power of the Heart of the God of War. In front of me, you are nothing." Dou Kouda withdrew his hand, and a dangerous light flashed in his one eye.

Yite shrugged and shook his head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk~ That's too much. But whatever, it's settled. I'll wholesale the medicine over later. As for the delivery location..."

"Let's set it here. After you go back, Ling Lang and his minions will follow the trail and find this place anyway." Dou Kouda said with his hands folded.

"So this is just your temporary camp?"

"That's right." Dou Kouda nodded. "There's an old saying from Lin Hui that the most dangerous place is the safest place. So we won't be afraid of being seen by others when we meet here later."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Yite spread his hands and turned away, but just as he was about to leave the room, he suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, besides this, I have another unwelcome request."

Dou Kouda folded his hands and snorted disdainfully: "Tell me, as long as I can do it."

"I need a prisoner to stabilize my current identity in Linglang Mercenary. After all, your men know that in order to cover up the mercenary team, I have exposed a lot of my strength in front of them. If I go back empty-handed like this, it will inevitably arouse suspicion." It explained with a smile.

Dou Kouda's single eye narrowed into a slit: "So you want me to play a trick with you?"

"Good." It snapped his fingers. "You just need to lend me a few prisoners and let me take them back to report. Of course, I will ensure their safety afterwards."

The cave fell into a brief silence. The light from the torches danced on the rock walls, illuminating the uneasy faces of the barbarian warriors.

"Alright then." Dou Koda closed his eyes and said softly, "Nayuka, it was you who took the initiative to confront this guy in the forest, right? Then you will take on this role."

A burly barbarian warrior strode out. It was the same man who had confronted It in the forest earlier. He knelt on one knee and gruffly replied, "As you command, Chief."

Doukoda sat back on the throne, opened his one eye, and looked at Ite with a sharp gaze: "I have tried my best to meet your needs. Remember, don't play tricks on me, otherwise you will die miserably!"

Yite smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this is natural. After returning, I will ask my companions to rescue your men. However, in the meantime, if they torture you severely..."

"Don't worry about this. Nayuka is our best warrior. This little physical pain is nothing." Dou Kouda waved his hand and signaled his men to tie up Nayuka.

And Nayuka also stretched out his hands obediently.

Yi Te smiled slightly: "Thank you very much."

After finishing what he needed to do, he returned alone with the "prisoners". As soon as he walked out of the forest, he ran into the mercenary team that had escaped under his cover and brought people to support them.

"Ivan! You're still alive!" the mercenary captain exclaimed in surprise, then looked warily at the bound Nayoka. "Wait a minute, isn't he the guy who led the monsters to besiege us?"

Etter wiped the blood from his forehead and smiled tiredly, "Yeah, we caught him alive, so we should be able to get some information out of him."

The mercenary captain stepped forward quickly, carefully examining the captured barbarian warrior. Although Nayuka was tightly bound, he still held his head high, his eyes gleaming with a rebellious glint.

"Well done!" The captain patted It's shoulder. "I didn't expect you to capture the barbarian leader alive by yourself. The Mercenary Association will definitely reward you handsomely when they find out."

Seeing this, the other team members gathered around, praising him. The double-sword team members circled around Nayuka, marveling at him.

At this time, Yite stood there and smiled modestly, and when he looked forward again, Feng Ling, Kuang Dao and Hong Tao had already mixed in the team and been waiting for a long time.
