The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The soldier raised his arm and shouted, and his comrades beside him swarmed forward with a roar. Their fierce appearance made it seem as if they wanted to tear Yuan Shang to pieces right then and there.

Judging from Fuchigami's agility, he was at least a squad leader in the resistance. As for why he would return to the shogunate's territory?

Who cares! Now that we're here, we're not leaving!

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

A sharp whistling sound cut through the air, and flashes of light appeared. Yuan Shang looked at the astonishing gash in the tree beside him and wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

These guys are really going all out.

What's going on with Inazuma? Isn't Umijima Inazuma's territory? Why are the foot soldiers here shouting for his life?

"Damn it, you slippery as an eel! If you've got the guts, have a fair fight with us!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang glanced at the foot soldiers behind the soldier. Who exactly launched the sneak attack? Who was outnumbering him? How could this man not know the answer?

“You said it yourself.” Yuan Shang pointed to the group of people opposite him; he really didn’t want to run away now.

He flicked his wrist, and Yuan Shang instantly became a blur.

The foot soldiers only felt a blur before their eyes, and then they found themselves flying.

"boom!"

"hiss--"

"Ouch—"

……

The sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground and the foot soldiers' painful groans created a battlefield atmosphere.

"Pat! Pat! Pat!" Yuan Shang patted the imaginary dust off his hands, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face. So this is what it feels like to crush noobs.

No wonder the apostles used to give him military training.

"Can you talk properly now?"

"Can, can, can!"

The foot soldiers, their faces bruised and battered, hurriedly nodded. The guy in front of them was not just a rebel army captain; he was probably a possessor of the Eye of God.

Without sufficient manpower or prior ambush, ordinary people simply cannot win.

Those few who are worthless should probably be more sensible.

“That’s right. If you had known this earlier, you wouldn’t have gotten a beating.” Yuan Shang shook his head, then asked the people in front of him, “Do you know how to get to Haiqi Island?”

As soon as Fuchigami finished speaking, he saw the foot soldiers looking at each other in bewilderment.

Is this guy really Inatsume? He doesn't even know the location of Umijima Island.

The leading soldier then began to carefully examine Yuan Shang before him. He was wearing his yukata inside out, and his feet were not wearing wooden clogs but leather shoes...

The soldiers were shocked to discover that Fuchigami only looked like Inatsume at first glance; in detail, he was simply unbearable to look at.

A foreigner? Or a foreigner who sought refuge on Haiqi Island, and more importantly, he is a possessor of the Eye of God.

His eyes darted around quickly; the soldier had come up with a brilliant plan, a plan to make the guy in front of him pay the price…

"I know! Of course I know!" The soldier immediately nodded, his expression becoming extremely eager.

"Not only do I know, but there's a ship heading to Haiqi Island right now. Would you like to take a ride, sir?"

The sergeant's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. As he laughed, he put his hands behind his back and gestured to his comrades behind him.

[Cooperate, sail the ship, die!]

With a few simple gestures, coupled with the events that had occurred on Bayun Island in recent days, everyone immediately understood and hurriedly echoed:

"Yes, yes, yes! There's a ship heading to Haiqi Island right now! You've come at the perfect time, sir!"

"And I remember the time is almost up, adults need to hurry."

The chattering of several voices made Yuan Shang extremely anxious. This was a voyage that went directly to Haiqi Island. If he missed it, he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next one.

“You guys stay put! I’ll be right back! If I find you running away…”

"boom!"

A huge fireball flew from Yuan Shang's hand, blasting a scorched crater into the distant beach.

"Gulu!"

The foot soldiers nodded, looking like obedient children. Now they were even more certain that the only way to deal with Fuchigami was through strategy, not brute force.

The destruction that can be caused by the possessor of the Eye of God of Fire is the greatest.

"call out--"

With another whooshing sound, Yuan Shang vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

In the distance, Yuanyou was spying from behind a large rock. Seeing Yuanshang running towards them, it immediately asked the three soul-searching questions: "What's wrong? Why did you run back? Is there trouble again?"

"No...no! I've found a ship that goes directly to Haiqi Island!" Yuan Shang took a simple breath, then said excitedly.

"real?!"

"Looks like you're still somewhat useful!"

Upon hearing this, both Yuan Zuo and Yuan Xia's eyes lit up. They hadn't expected that they would reach their destination so soon after arriving in Inazuma!

This time, they'll definitely surprise those who look down on them!

"What a coincidence..." Yuan You's eyes also gleamed. It recalled everything it had seen and heard along the way.

It's normal for places to be deserted. Many areas in Mondstadt are like that too. Teyvat has an overwhelming number of monsters, not to mention ley lines like Ley Lines that produce monsters; many places are simply uninhabitable.

However, monsters were scarce here. Yuan You didn't see many of the Hilichurls and Slimes that are common in the wilderness.

Glancing at the rusty swords stuck in the beach, Yuan You already had a guess in his mind.

Humans are the absolute rulers of the land; when they unite, no monster can stop them.

【War? That's something so distant and vague.】Yuan You shook his head. The last major war was five hundred years ago. He never expected to see it again in Inazuma.

However, Yuan You wasn't worried at all. Killing an Abyss Apostle who could teleport at any time would be very difficult.

"Follow them and make a small opening. If anything unexpected happens, call us immediately," Yuan You instructed Yuan Shang.

"That's right! That way, I can bring you all over as soon as I get to Haiqi Island!" Yuan Shang slapped his forehead and unfolded a tiny fluorescent white light on the open ground next to him.

That's a super-miniature version of the abyss passage. If Yuan Shang wanted, he could make this abyss passage big enough for one person to pass through.

"That's fine, you can go now." Yuan You didn't expose Yuan Shang's wishful thinking; what if it really was just such a coincidence?

"Just wait until you get to Haiqi Island!" Yuan Shang, holding the equally tiny abyss passage in his hand, waved his hand and left again.

"To Haiqi Island? I hope so." Yuan You muttered to himself, then said to Yuan Zuo and Yuan Xia beside him, "You two, give it your all, don't let your guard down!"

After saying that, Yuanyou took the lead in activating his shield, which was surrounded by numerous ice spikes.

"Why……"

"Just follow along. Your brain definitely can't understand it."

Yuan Zuo slapped Yuan Xia back, and it also activated its elemental shield, causing huge bubbles to rise from the surrounding ground.

"Okay... alright." Yuanxia scratched his head, agreeing, and activated his shield, followed by lightning.

So, the three abyss mages, who were on high alert, stared intently at a single point of light, which looked rather eerie.

……

"You're all very good. Lead the way!" Yuan Shang returned to the foot soldiers, clapped his hands, and was in a great mood.

"Please follow me, sir!" The soldier nodded hurriedly and then led Yuan Shang deeper into Bayun Island.

Chapter 325 Disaster

2023-11-30

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning ripped through the gloomy sky, bringing a glimmer of light that illuminated the group on Bayun Island.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky grew even darker, shrouding the entire Bayun Island in gloom.

The thunder in the sky became more frequent, which the people walking along had grown somewhat accustomed to.

Dark, opaque clouds poured down a torrential downpour, making the already difficult road even more treacherous.

Yuan Shang frowned, not because of the harsh weather on the island, but because of the strange power that permeated the place.

"Hoo—" Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shang felt as if countless tiny needles were pricking his mouth, bringing a tingling and numb pain.

"Hey! Do you guys know what's happening on this island?" Yuan Shang sensed the eerie power that was omnipresent. Even though he was an abyss demon, he figured that being under this power for too long wouldn't end well for him.

"Cough...cough cough! In reply to your question, sir, it seems that the 'evil spirit' has erupted." The soldier coughed a few times in response.

"A demon?"

"It's the resentment and residual power of the demon god. Somehow, it was sealed well on Bayun Island, but it suddenly erupted overnight."

The sergeant pointed to the huge snake skeleton in the distance and said.

Yuan Shang looked in the direction the soldier pointed and discovered that the "mountain" in the distance was actually the skeleton of some kind of giant snake!

"Is the evil spirit erupting? Then why are we still walking here? Don't tell me the person driving the boat likes thrills." Yuan Shang nodded, then changed his tone and questioned him.

"Of course not!" The sergeant smiled, as if he had been prepared for this question.

"The ship you're going on is for transferring patients. Look at Bayun Island, is it even habitable?"

"Hey, that's right." Yuan Shang nodded with a smile. This was the "official" person he knew. It seemed that everything before was a misunderstanding.

There are still more good people than bad in the world, Yuan thought to himself.

Under the influence of the evil spirit, Bayun Island was desolate. As far as the eye could see, it was all withered and yellow, with only a few trees remaining, twisted and twisted, with a few wilted leaves hanging down, making it look even more eerie.

"We've arrived!" the sergeant said to Yuan Shang, pointing to the camp not far away.

"Let's go!" Yuan Shang nodded and strode towards the camp.

However, the soldier beside him spoke first, and he said to Yuan Shang with a fawning smile, "Sir, please allow me to inform him, otherwise it would be a misunderstanding."
