Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"No, at this rate, Xuanxuan's defense will soon be broken!" Kailin said in panic.

Beyond the thorns, countless monsters collapsed, succumbing to the poison. Yet, they remained frantic, pounding the thorn wall with their teeth and claws. Only the Skeleton Crystal Beasts stood not far away, making anxious cries, watching as if biding their time.

At this moment, Zixuan's forehead was covered with sweat and her hands were trembling slightly. Just maintaining the defense line consumed a lot of her energy.

Suddenly she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Don't worry about me for now, get back to the car!"

"Oh? But you..."

Just as Kailin was about to speak, Mo Yan forcibly pulled her back into the car.

"Don't say but, we can't help you now!"

All four of them retreated back into the car, closing not only the doors but also the windows tightly.

Zi Xuan turned back slightly to confirm that everything was correct, then took out the Flame King's contract certificate.

"Since you enjoy running into thorns so much, I'll add fuel to the fire!"

The two credentials glowed blindingly in her hands, their combined powers mingling to create a surge of magical energy. She raised both hands high, chanting a spell, and the thorns surrounding them instantly burst into flames.

Not only that, due to the interaction between the poison and the flame, the flame at this time becomes more penetrating, and the poison is also transformed into a highly toxic poison through the flame.

The poison spread rapidly along with the flames. The monsters caught in the flames were not only burned by the flames, but also inhaled the highly toxic smoke, causing them to struggle in agony. Soon, their bodies began to swell and fester, and soon they collapsed to the ground, convulsing and dying.

Thick poisonous fog and flames intertwined, forming a terrifying barrier that temporarily blocked the monsters' attack. However, Zixuan's face grew paler, and beads of sweat fell from her forehead like rain. Maintaining such a powerful magic was a huge burden for her.

Finally, the flames dissipated, and all the monsters in the range fell to the ground, except for the Skeleton Crystal Beast that was still watching not far away.

"No way, it hasn't fallen yet?" Karen said in surprise in the car.

Tianlang, standing nearby, remained calm and composed, his expression predictable. "Of course. The Skeleton Crystal Beast is a monster composed of crystallized bones. Furthermore, it absorbed excessive amounts of elemental energy before the mutation, giving it an incredible resistance to toxins and fire."

"Then what do we do now?"

"No rush, at least the road is open." Mo Yan said with his hands folded.

Then he pointed to the road ahead. Sure enough, after the fire, all the monsters blocking the road had disappeared except for the Skeleton Crystal Beast.

Looking at Zixuan again, she staggered towards the SUV, holding on to her shaky body. After getting in the car, she spoke again before she could even catch her breath: "Hurry, let's go now!"

"Oh!"

Kailin stepped on the accelerator, driving through the burning remains of the monster. The wheels made a sharp sound as they rolled over the charred earth. In the rearview mirror, the skeletons finally began to move, emitting sharp roars, and their crystal bodies reflected an eerie luster in the sunlight.

First came the green tiger-shaped crystal beasts. With their limbs unleashed, they sped like an arrow, quickly catching up to the SUV. They attacked from the side, forcing Kailin to swerve and dodge left and right on the rugged mountain road. The car shook violently, the gear in the trunk clanged, and sometimes even narrowly avoided being driven under their crotch.

"No, these guys are too fast, I can't dodge them!" Karen shouted.

"We have to hide even if we can't, otherwise we're all doomed!"

Suddenly, an orange vulture-shaped crystal beast swooped down from the sky. Seeing this, Karen didn't care about anything else and stepped on the accelerator a few more times, barely brushing past its claws.

But at this moment, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the ground suddenly exploded, and a purple crystal scorpion as big as a truck broke out of the ground. The scorpion's tail and scorpion claws rotated together and hit the off-road vehicle chassis like a giant battering ram.

In an instant, the world spun. Outside the windshield, images of azure sky and charred earth flashed alternately. Karen clutched the steering wheel tightly, feeling as if her internal organs were about to burst out of her throat.

However, what was even more deadly was that outside the window, a crystal tiger and a blue crystal crocodile were standing on the slope, with dazzling elemental light condensing in their mouths.

"Not good!" Everyone looked shocked.

At this moment, the green storm and the blue water intertwined into a spiral, rushing straight towards the off-road vehicle hovering in the air.

Every second of waiting seemed so long. In the moment of crisis, the five people made the final decision at the same time.

"Jump out of the car!"

Five figures rushed out from the car door just before the explosion.

In a sudden turn, Tianlang quickly used his ability to cut three space cracks in the air, caught Kailin and Zixuan at the fastest speed and returned to the ground smoothly.

At the same time, Zhao Heng and Mo Yan quickly adjusted their posture in the air and launched a counterattack against the skeleton crystal beast on the ground at the best attack angle.

Zhao Heng quickly summoned a giant sword and smashed it towards the crystal crocodile's neck like a meteorite; Mo Yan spun in the air and unsheathed his sword. A cold light flashed across, and a brilliant wave instantly appeared on the crystal tiger's back.

boom!

The SUV was ripped to shreds in mid-air by the elemental impact, and the burning wreckage rained down. Kailin knelt on the ground, watching her beloved car, which had accompanied her for many years, disintegrate into a fireball, her eyes instantly reddening.

"My car! I just fixed it with great difficulty!"

Mo Yan and Zhao Heng cooperated with each other, attacking and defending in perfect harmony. Soon, as the cold light fell, two more giant beasts fell to the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Heng waved the giant sword in his hand and sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You can handle it so well without a guardian certificate."

Mo Yan shrugged, brandished his sword, and said, "This is all thanks to the sharpness of this sword. How could I not have realized before that the sword that guy made for me was so powerful?"

Suddenly, a roar was heard, and in the blink of an eye, a crystal tiger pounced on the two of them from behind. Zhao Heng stepped forward with a huge sword in his hand, and was about to defend himself when he saw several sharp poisonous spines rising from the ground and instantly piercing the crystal tiger's jaw.

The two of them looked back again and found it was Zi Xuan. She was holding the poison spirit's spear and had completely lost her fatigue. She must have taken the opportunity to drink the recovery potion specially used by mages.

"Hey, stop chatting at this time."

However, just as she finished her words, a vulture and another green, winged crystal snake suddenly swooped down from behind her.

Zi Xuan was just about to cast a spell to defend herself when she felt a gust of cold wind passing by, and a long spear hit the crystal snake's eyes accurately; and the vulture's wings were cut off by Mo Yan in a panic. As he stabbed it with two swords, the two skeleton crystal beasts completely lost their life signs.

"I'm returning the favor!" Mo Yan playfully made a gesture of "returning the favor".
