Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

The Mountain Lord's true form is a Xuanwen Beast, which has not yet cultivated to the point of being able to transform into human form.

Ten years ago, Shan Jun encountered a middle-aged man who was on the verge of death. Shan Jun brought wild game to the man's family every day, and the man's soul transformed into a changgui (a type of ghost) to serve Shan Jun. After the children in the family grew up, Shan Jun would go to the reincarnation place of Wuwangpo.

Today, the son of the ghost entered the Moon Sea Pavilion as a civil servant and began to receive government rations. When the contract expired, the ghost went to the land of reincarnation.

Before the mountain king could recover from the regret of his servants leaving, he was found by the Thousand Rock Army and a contract was made.

The contents of the contract are simple: the desert barbarians have declared war on Liyue, and their crimes of occupying Qiaoying Village and burning the forest are unforgivable.

Kaiyang Star summoned the immortals of Shenyu Valley to go to Qiaoying Village to fight against the desert people. After the war, he will send workers to repair the temples for the immortals.

"How can I, the dignified Mountain Lord and master of three thousand Xuanwen Beasts, become a pawn for you lowly villains?" the Mountain Lord said to the Thousand Rock Army after signing the contract.

Subsequently, the Mountain Lord led three thousand Xuanwen Beasts to Qiaoying Manor.

Then he discovered other immortals, some of whom went alone, while others gathered their retinues before going.

Once the immortals realized they shared the same goal, they set off together, forming a vast, swarming group. Under the immortals' pressure, the Xuanwen beasts did not hunt the argali sheep traveling with them, the slimes of different colors did not clash, the eagles did not attack the other birds, and there was even a large swarm of bees that perched on the birds.

The scene of thriving vitality and flourishing of all things is still before our eyes.

After receiving the order from the shooting army, Esen organized his troops to go south of Qiaoying Village. He originally planned to rest for two days before leaving and did not build any defensive fortifications.

Of the 100 long-barreled cannons captured from the Thousand Rocks Army, 72 were repaired and could fire, but the bows, crossbows, and cannons had been damaged by the thunderbolts sent by Ivan and were no longer usable.

As Evan knew, the reason the Liyue master was holding back Ivan was to launch an attack.

Sure enough, shortly after the army formed its battle formation, a visible black line appeared in the distance.

The sea of ​​fire that covered the mountains and fields was quickly extinguished by the power of the immortal, and countless relatives headed towards Qiaoying Manor.

Mystic beast, argali sheep, wolf, bee, locust, eagle, peregrine falcon, sparrow...

Behind the retinue were immortals, all of them large, colorful beasts emitting various lights.

When the families of soldiers approached the desert army's front line by about one kilometer, thick fog rose up!

It was probably due to the combined power of the immortals that the thick fog engulfed the entire desert army, causing panic among the desert soldiers.

Just as the desert army was thrown into disarray, Esen discovered that visibility was only about five meters in the fog, so he shouted loudly:

"Each group consists of ten households, find a way out, and fight their own battle!"

"Each group consists of ten households, find a way out, and fight their own battle!"

"Each group consists of ten households, find a way out, and fight their own battle!"

Those closest to Esen began repeating this phrase, and slowly the entire desert army began to shout it.

After a minute, the artillerymen felt that the time was about right, so they adjusted the long-barreled guns to the furthest distance and fired hard. After firing a few rounds, they began to stand guard in place.

The solid iron ball, carrying intense heat and violent speed, crashed into the immortals' retinue, but it only caused some commotion; in reality, there were not many casualties.

They killed about a hundred wild animals and seriously injured or crippled several hundred.

Slowly, the retinue began to rush into the mist. In the wild beasts' minds, as long as they offered their prey to the immortals, their wounds would heal.

Therefore, they dare to attack beasts that are larger and have a higher elemental content than themselves, without any worries.

This time it was the fairy's order, and the beasts carried it out without hesitation.

But the deity they worshipped was destined to no longer be able to heal them. After the battle, the deity would be organized into a system and would naturally no longer be able to command the wild beasts.

"Roar!"

The Xuanwen Beast roared and pounced on a breaker, but when it bit down, it found that the soldier's iron arm guard was being chewed up. Not only did its teeth ache from the bite, but its belly was also slashed open by the blade of its fist.

When the Xuanwen Beast left, wounded and trying to find the immortal it worshipped to heal itself, it found that it could not get out!

Not just it, no living thing can get out.

This is a mist created by the immortals using water and fire elements, and an illusionary formation drawn with wind element as the array core. They want to trap the desert people inside and kill them.

Along the way, some well-informed immortals told them about the desert people's bravery and revealed that some of them possessed divine blood.

They never intended to use their familiars to win the match; these beast familiars were merely part of their plan.

Therefore, the immortals devised this method: sending their relatives to their deaths while they maintained the formation from a distance. During this process, the blood of all living beings was absorbed into the mist through the immortals' actions, forming a blood mist.

Blood contains abundant minerals, and when they evaporate into blood mist, they inevitably compress the air. The immortals will then squeeze a large amount of air out of the blood mist and continuously compress the blood mist.

At that time, this group of desert people will die from lack of oxygen!

The Blazing Sand Narrators are mages, and they are very sensitive to magic. They quickly discovered this, but there are only seventeen Blazing Sand Narrators in the entire army, while there are hundreds of immortals visible from a distance. Their magic is no match for the immortals.

So the narrator of the Blazing Sands told the truth to his companions, who quickly told others, and within ten minutes everyone knew what the immortals were thinking.

Yexian's plan was quickly abandoned. The seventeen Blazing Sand Narrators were surrounded by a large number of people in various parts of the battlefield, casting spells to resist the formations of the immortals in order to slow down the rate at which the formations transformed blood.

This is a method of combat that the desert people spontaneously developed.

The infantry surrounded the Blazing Sand Narrator at the innermost level, with the gilded humans outside the infantry, and the cavalry outside the gilded humans. The cavalrymen turned their horses sideways and hid behind their horses so that the horses would take the first hit.

Although warhorses are as important as family members to cavalrymen, they can't care about that when life and death are at stake.

He's nothing but a beast!

They were waiting, waiting for their leader to deal with the immortals and then come to their aid.

They were not afraid, nor did they blame the Chanyu for taking them so far away.

On the contrary, they were very grateful to Ivan. If Ivan hadn't told them how they were being exploited, they would probably still be swallowing their anger and doing business with the rainforest people, welcoming the Liyue caravan with smiles.

Ivan brought them the truth, allowing them to avenge their blood feud.

They might not have died if they hadn't come, but they wouldn't have known they were living in deception if they hadn't come.

Those who have seen the light cannot bear the darkness.
