Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

辘～

The off-road vehicle stopped at the foot of the mountain. The mountain road ahead was rugged, so Yaohui got out of the car with everyone else.

"Then I'll take you there." He crossed his arms and looked at the road ahead. "After crossing this ridge, a few miles away is Blood Princess's Red Castle."

At this time, Tianlang walked up to Yaohui.

"Are we going to separate so soon? Don't you want to go see Sister Xueqi?"

"Goodbye. Although the three of us are very close friends, I'm still not used to her personality. Besides, I'm not as leisurely as you. Take me to say hello when the time comes." Yaohui said calmly.

Tianlang shrugged and said, "Alright then... But you better take care of yourself. The Fallen Angel Troupe will definitely not give up any opportunity to seize the certificate."

At this point, Yao Hui snorted coldly and said, "Humph, if that's the case, I can let go."

"Uh... hehe..." Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you in silence.

Yaohui's attitude made everyone feel helpless. It seemed that he really held a grudge.

"Oh, by the way, take this." Suddenly, Yaohui took out an obsidian pendant and threw it directly to Zhao Heng.

"What is this?" Zhao Heng asked puzzledly as he caught the pendant.

"Evidence of evil."

"Ah?" At this moment, the four of them were stunned.

"Wait a minute, you gave us the credentials, what about you?" Karen asked in horror.

"Yes, don't you all rely on credentials to gain power when you are guarding? You gave us the credentials, so aren't you?" Mo Yan asked.

But Yao Hui shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. The certificate is just a tool for the transmission of the contract. As long as the name of the evil spirit remains with me, the contract will not be broken."

He then looked at Zhao Heng and said, "I've heard that you had already received approval for the contract, so I shared the certificate with you. And you also said that the Fallen Angel Troupe would not let this go."

Having said that, Yao Hui lowered his hands and turned away: "Take it. You will encounter various challenges in the future. Just think of it as a talisman I gave you. It will come in handy."

After he finished speaking, Yaohui left without looking back.

Looking at Yaohui's back, everyone felt helpless.

"He's gone," Karen said.

Mo Yan: “Yes.”

At this moment, Tianlang shrugged his shoulders and turned to everyone, smiling and said, "In that case, let's set off."

"Yeah." The four of them nodded.

After Kailin got the SUV back into the ring, everyone went up the mountain together.

On the way, the mountain road was rugged and there was no sound at all. It was like the dawn before a rainstorm, which made everyone give up several times.

Cicadas were chirping in the trees, but there was no sign of any birds or animals.

Kailin suddenly stopped in fear.

"Why does it feel so eerie here?" She looked around. It was so quiet that it made her feel uneasy.

Tianlang turned around and said, "Don't be suspicious. This is normal. What you may not know is that it is said that there was a bloody battle here 5000 years ago. Since then, a demon called a blood ghost has been born here."

"This monster loves to feed on blood. People say it's a sinister creature born from the Blood Princess Contract. Since then, this mountain has been officially named Blood Peak Ridge, and there's been virtually no biological activity here."

After hearing this, Kailin was shocked: "Is it actually a real-life vampire? Wait, what do you think, could the Blood Princess also be...?"

Kailin looked at the other three, and they all shook their heads. At this moment, Tianlang chuckled and said, "Haha, you could say that. But the details should wait until the time comes for you to see them with your own eyes."

At this moment, Kailin looked at him with disdain, while whispering to Mo Yan.

"Why do I always have a bad feeling every time I hear him say this?"

Mo Yan shrugged and replied, "It's just psychological. Let's go, don't fall behind."

After a brief exchange of words, everyone moved forward again. When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw several huge cracks in front of them.

"What's going on?" Karen exclaimed as she looked at the crack in front of her.

The crack was as high as a small hill, with no grass growing on all sides. Down below, it looked like a corpse lay across the middle. Although it wasn't wide or short, it would be hard to predict if one misstepped. Looking at the other side, across a three-meter distance, there were cracks of varying widths, forming a single scratch.

In response to Kailin's questions, Tianlang quickly responded.

"This is one of the reasons it's called Blood Peak Ridge. Back then, the Blood Princess went mad after receiving her first contract. The claw marks here were left by her indiscriminate attacks. Blood stained the roots, and over time, the roots in this area were destroyed, leaving them desolate."

Looking at the crack in front of her, Zi Xuan said, "This place is a bit like the Wuxiang Blade Cleft in the game."

"Wuxiang Blade Narrow Space? What is that?" Tianlang was puzzled, but when he heard Zixuan say that it was another scene from the game, he stopped asking.

Then he turned around and said, "Follow me and watch your step. This is no joke."

After a stumbling and bumpy journey, everyone finally managed to get out of this hellish place safely.

On the way down the mountain, they passed by a fruit forest, and at this time, they were already feeling hungry.

"Tsk." Karen looked at the fruits on the tree, feeling stunned.

The fruits on the tree looked like apples, but their color was as bright red as blood. For a moment, everyone was really a little scared.

Kailin suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Tianlang beside her and asked, "By the way, Tianlang, you know a lot. Can you tell me if these fruits are edible?"

Tianlang smiled lightly and said, "Haha, why does Kailin like asking questions so much today?"

As he spoke, he walked into the crowd and picked up the fallen fruit. He said, "But ordinary people should not eat this kind of fruit casually."

Kailin looked at Mo Yan, then at Zhao Heng, and asked, "Why?"

"This fruit is called the Blood Spirit Fruit. As its name suggests, although it looks like a fruit, its flesh is made of blood."

Hearing this, Kailin's eyes lit up instantly.

"Ah, you mean, there's blood in this fruit?"

"That's right. This fruit thrives on the flesh and blood of humans and animals. When a monster or human falls, it turns into nutrients. This is a delicious treat for the monsters in the mountains."

"What about humans? Doesn't it have any effect at all?" Zhao Heng asked at the side.

Tianlang smiled softly and replied, "Of course. Since this fruit contains blood and is a natural blood reservoir, it also has medicinal value. In the past, it was often used on seriously injured and anemic soldiers. However, now, apart from the disabled, basically no one uses it."

"What would happen if an ordinary person accidentally ingested it?" Zi Xuan asked curiously.

"It's very simple. Have you ever heard of someone who is weak and cannot be nourished?" Tianlang replied, folding his arms. "One Blood Spirit Fruit is enough for a disabled person, and it can only be used externally. If a healthy person accidentally eats it, they will either become a vampire or explode and die. After all, who can withstand such a large amount of blood entering their body for a short time?"
