Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

The man explained while stroking his chin, and at this moment, the two of them didn't think much about it.

"Please be sure to tell us." Mo Yan said directly.

The man was stunned for a moment, then coughed a few times and said, "Ahem, I just heard that he lives on the hill north of Xuefeng Ridge. As for the rest..."

"Thank you for telling me!" The two turned around and walked out of the store without waiting for the man to finish speaking.

Outside the door, they looked at the mountains to the north and pondered.

"Since we already know the exact location, let's go there as soon as possible." Zixuan said.

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Shouldn't we go back and inform Kailin and the others first?"

"No need. After all, it's just hearsay. No one can be sure they can find it. Besides, people who live in seclusion in the mountains usually have some taboos. Too many people will make things go wrong."

After listening to Zixuan's words, Mo Yan nodded as if he understood.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them walked towards the northern mountain.

After walking down the mountain, Mo Yan first looked around.

While walking in the mountains, they could vaguely hear the roar of wild beasts, but in order to find the rumored blacksmith, they had no choice but to go on.

Unexpectedly, the sound in the distance suddenly became clear, and the thing they didn't want to encounter finally happened.

A blood-red, saber-toothed tiger-shaped monster suddenly appeared in front of the two, along with a giant vicious dog.

"Blood tiger and beast realm hound?" Zi Xuan exclaimed.

In Supreme Teyvat, these two monsters are hunters lurking in the forest, and both of them have a disgusting characteristic: "bleeding". No matter how protected you are in the game, once you are injured by this monster, it will be like having your aorta cut and the bleeding will not stop. Therefore, many players sneer at them.

And now it is reality. Unlike in the game, any abnormality has a time limit. It is really hard to imagine what will happen if you are injured by this monster?

"It seems we have no choice but to take action." Mo Yan said, and then pulled out the sword at his waist that was about to break.

Zixuan nodded, and the next second the two of them cooperated with each other. Mo Yan was responsible for breaking through in close combat while Zixuan used magic to provide long-range cover.

However, large-scale magic could not be used in the forest, especially the fireball rain that Zixuan was best at. In addition, the blood produced during the fight attracted other monsters. Gradually, the two of them were almost out of strength.

"No, there are too many monsters. If this goes on..." Zi Xuan and Mo Yan stood back to back, looking at the monsters around them. They felt helpless at the moment.

If we fly, we can leave here, but how can we guarantee that there are no other flying monsters in this mountain? Moreover, blood tigers have amazing ability to climb trees, jump, and run, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them gathered at once.

Looking at the swarm of monsters around them, the two of them even felt a little regretful for coming here, but what was the point? The matter was done, and complaining was useless.

At this moment, two blood tigers suddenly fell from the treetops, but they both looked dead.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Suddenly, there were several vibrations of arrow strings in the air, and the monsters around the two were instantly shot down by arrows.

"How is this going?"

The two looked around in confusion. The monsters that had just been threatening them with bared fangs and claws were now all lying in a pool of blood.

"Hey, why don't you run away?"

A strange voice suddenly rang out, and the two looked behind them. A red-haired young man, holding a bowstring, stood in the distance. He was on edge, constantly signaling for the two to leave as soon as possible.

Mo Yan and Zi Xuan smiled at each other, then quickly ran towards the young man...

Following the young man, the two quickly escaped from the monster's pursuit, and they breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"Huh, I'm finally safe. Thank you, my friend." Mo Yan panted, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and thanked the young man.

"That's right, if it weren't for you, we would probably be left dead in the wilderness." Zi Xuan said with a smile of gratitude.

The young man didn't seem to take the two men's thanks seriously. He simply put away his crossbow, folded his arms, and asked the two men what their purpose was.

"You two are mercenaries, right? It's not a wise choice to come to the mountain at this time of year."

Mo Yan and Zi Xuan looked at each other again. To be honest, when they saw that the other person was alone, this sentence was not convincing at all.

"Well, we actually came to the mountain to look for someone." Mo Yan walked out and said.

"Looking for someone?" the young man asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I heard from the village blacksmith that there is a highly skilled blacksmith living in seclusion here. Do you know him?"

Hearing this, the young man's face instantly fell.

"Tsk, is it like this again?"

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Zi Xuan asked in confusion, looking at the young man's expression.

The young man sighed and replied, "Nothing, no need to look for me, I am the craftsman you are looking for."

"Ah?" The two were shocked when these words came out.

The young man in front of me must be in his early 20s. He is so young that it is hard to believe that he is a master blacksmith.

"What's so surprising about that? I'm a hunter in this mountain. I just made a few weapons for a friend two years ago, and then they spread all over the mountain." The young man said with a hint of helplessness, "Let's go. This is not the place to talk."

He turned around and quickly led the two of them out of the forest.

After walking through the narrow path, the two arrived at the young man's residence. It was a dilapidated wooden house with thatched roofs and a pile of firewood outside the door. Inside, there was only a charcoal stove and a brick bed. The only other items were bows and arrows hanging around the room.

"Please sit down." The young man took out two wooden stools from the kang and placed them in front of the stone table.

Looking at the surrounding environment, the two even suspected that the other party was just a simple hunter, and the so-called highly skilled blacksmith was simply an exaggeration.

After the two of them sat down in the room, the young man made a pot of tea for them and then began to talk.

"My name is Qi Yong. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Oh, that's right. I have a sword engraved with magic inscriptions that needs to be repaired, but the blacksmith in the village at the foot of the mountain said he doesn't have the skills to do it, so he told me about you." Mo Yan stated his purpose very concisely.

"Is that so? I'm sorry, but although I have some blacksmithing skills, I don't intend to use them for business." Qi Yong shook his head and said, "But if you're here to learn sword skills, I can reluctantly help you."

"Really? That's great!" Mo Yan excitedly opened the package and placed it on the table.

Qi Yong looked at the sword that was broken into pieces in his backpack. He picked up the hilt and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, that's true. There are at least 20 magical inscriptions engraved on your sword. It would be very laborious to repair it without fine craftsmanship."

"So..." Mo Yan was excited, thinking he saw hope, but Qi Yong's reply the next second once again shattered his confidence.

"But I'm sorry, I can't do it." He said, putting the hilt aside.
