The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Yes! The battle will not stop!"

The two large lizards sang in unison, demonstrating to their kin their determination to continue the fight.

Clearly, the leader's thinking was more direct than the dragon lizard's question. Humans? Just fight them, why bother with all that?

However, their narrow lizard eyes always unconsciously glanced backward, as the wind feathers on the ground constantly tugged at the dragon lizards' minds, even though they were the largest dragon lizards.

After performing for a while, the two lizards grew tired of it. They stopped their already distorted movements, turned around, and pounced, grabbing the Dvalin feathers they had previously laid down.

"Of course, you need to relax after a battle!"

"Dragons have defeated humans twice!"

The giant lizards extended their claws, spreading their two toes apart, and successfully gave a "V" sign to their kin behind them.

This is very... convincing for the dragon lizard who raised the question!

The dragons have already defeated humans twice; it's time they relaxed! Besides, these wind dragon feathers fell from the second battle.

The dragon lizards have reason to believe that this was a special reward from the wind dragon in the sky after witnessing their bravery.

With this in mind, the dragon lizard that had raised the question fell asleep immediately. If even the "wise one" among the dragon lizards acted this way, the others were even less likely to react negatively.

In the vast group of dragon lizards, no other dragon lizards expressed any concern about this phenomenon.

If nothing unexpected happens, the dragon lizards will probably just laze around and wait to die another day.

But how could that be? Just as the dragon lizards were enjoying their leisure time, they suddenly heard a somewhat familiar noise beside their ears.

"Huh? Is a dragon calling us?" One of the dragon lizards was hallucinating from sucking on a feather, thinking that a dragon had come to pick them up.

But as soon as it raised its head, its companion cast a "Great Awakening Spell".

"Boom!"

After punching his delusional companion next to him into the ground to bring him to his senses, the other lizard shouted at the top of his lungs, "Humans! Humans are here!"

"Damn it! It's humans again! My sweet dream!"

"This time, we'll make sure humans never dare to come again!"

Upon hearing this, the dragon lizards immediately snapped out of their listless, decadent state and began to rub their hands together, eager to fight the humans right away.

Their behavior was much more ferocious than before—it's unclear whether it was because they hated humans so much or because the arrival of humans shattered their dreams.

"Let humanity see the power of dragons!"

"Rush!!!"

As the leaders of the dragon lizards, the two large dragon lizards naturally took on the role of commander.

To call it command is really just a matter of waving your hand, and then the dragon lizards roar and charge forward all at once.

The dragon lizard's charge was much more impressive than that of a human, and seeing the smoke rising in the distance, Ember immediately perked up.

"Left side, Ying, hurry up and find a good spot!"

"Up there! Paimon, hurry up!"

"Shinoin Heizo, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go to the right!"

Yu Jin's arms moved incredibly fast, and in no time, he had directed the photographers to their designated positions.

"Lord Yu... Lord Yu Jin, what about us?" A soldier, seeing Yu Jin giving orders with great enthusiasm, raised his hand and asked Yu Jin with trembling hands.

"You?" Yu Jin looked down at the soldiers who numbered the most. The dragon lizard's roar was deafening, and their calves trembled so badly they were almost blurry.

“With me here, what are you afraid of?” Yu Jin shook his head and then came to Kujo Sara’s side.

"If we don't scatter now, the dragon lizards will wipe us all out." Kujo Sara looked at the approaching dragon lizards with a serious expression, her whole demeanor poised and ready to strike.

"Where are the things I gave you yesterday?" Yu Jin held out his hand.

"This little thing? You mean throw it? It's too far now, not enough distance." Kujo Sara held the hypnotic pot in her hand and gestured to indicate the distance.

"Whether the item is good or not is secondary; the main thing is confidence." Yu Jin took the hypnotic pot from Kujo Sara's hand, and then took the longbow that she was carrying.

"..."

Kujo Sara grasped her back with her empty hands; where she should have been hunched over, there was nothing there.

"Tsk, seeing that not many of you know how to use a bow, I didn't prepare any hypnotic arrows." Although Ember said this, his hands didn't stop moving.

He casually broke off a straight section of the towering coral stone beside him, and Yu Jin directly pierced the sealing cloth at the mouth of the pot, inserting the coral stone into it.

Then Kujo Sara saw several "big-headed arrows" on his longbow.

"Watch closely! With what I've given you, have more confidence, okay?" After shouting at the soldiers behind him who had been beaten twice by the dragon lizard, Ember drew his bowstring.

"call out--"

Trailing a trail of purple smoke, the "Big Head Arrow" traced a crooked parabola in the air as it flew towards the distant group of dragon lizards.

"Snapped!"

As the arrow landed, the hypnotic jar that served as the arrowhead shattered, releasing the compressed hypnotic smoke inside.

The purple smoke spread rapidly, and within it, some white specks of light could be faintly seen—this was the power of Torina's prayers.

Why is the hypnotic pot so effective that it can even hypnotize demigods? One reason is that its raw materials are quite drowsy, and another reason is that the hypnotic pot has been blessed by the prayers of Torina, also known as Michaela.

Michaela was a demigod who could manipulate the law, and his/her prayers were not to be trifled with.

Purple and white smoke swirled overhead, and many of the dragon lizards fell into an even deeper sleep than when they were frantically sucking up Dvalin feathers.

A gap suddenly appeared in the dense swarm of dragon lizards, and everyone noticed it.

However, Kujo Sara and Goro were the first to react.

"Everyone, spread out and move forward to close the distance with the dragon lizard."

"Be mindful of the wind direction when throwing the pot, so as not to confuse your own people!"

Kujo Sara and Goro shouted in unison, and the shocked soldiers finally came to their senses.

They glanced at the few small purple flasks hanging from their waists, then at the large group of unconscious dragon lizards in the distance.

In an instant, Yu Jin noticed that the group of people behind him had grown considerably taller.

With their legs supported and backs straight, the soldiers, no longer behaving timidly, swaggered towards the dragon lizards.

"Sure enough, confidence is the best medicine to grow taller!" Yu Jin muttered, looking at the crowd around him who were practically puffing their chests out to the sky.

Chapter 575 Abyss Wake-up Service

2024-03-29

With the help of the hypnotic pot, the battle was almost a one-sided and devastating victory.

After all, with the hypnotic jar, a single throw can immediately end the battle, so it really doesn't have much value.

"Cough cough cough! Isn't your Haiqi Island supposed to be barren? How did you manage to raise something this big?"

A soldier, pulling a sleeping dragon lizard in the distance with a long rope, asked his companion from Haiqi Island beside him.

"The key is that this dragon lizard didn't grow up on our Haiqi Island either." The soldier from Haiqi Island tightened the scarf he had temporarily put on his chin and shrugged at his comrade.

"To be honest, I think you could try digging a hole underground. The fact that you can keep these guys so fat means there must be something that can sustain people underground on Haiqi Island."

Upon hearing this, the soldier stopped dwelling on the origins of the dragon lizard and instead offered advice to Haiqi Island.

"Thanks, but there's one thing you might have overlooked. Dragon lizards are elemental life forms; they can survive even by eating rocks."

The soldier from Haizhi Island yawned, did he really think that Haizhi Island had never dug underground?

Unfortunately, no matter how the people of Haizhi Island changed their ways, barrenness has always been a constant companion to this land.

After several attempts, the people of Haiqi Island gradually reached a consensus: the only way to escape the barrenness of Haiqi Island was to leave Haiqi Island altogether.

"Tsk, this place is even worse than I imagined."

"Nonsense, why would we rebel if we weren't miserable and had nothing better to do?"

Two soldiers, who had previously been on opposing sides, were chatting idly with a dragon lizard sticking out its tongue behind them.

This scene was commonplace on the battlefield, which was shrouded in purple mist.

"Come on, hurry up, let's take a close-up picture of this big guy!"

In front of the giant dragon lizard that required more than a dozen people to pull, Yu Jin ran over with several temporary photographers he had forcibly brought over.

"Take a close-up photo..." Ying and the others looked at the unconscious giant dragon lizard in front of them; its protruding tongue was almost as big as Ying's arm.

After finding the right angle, the group immediately took a few shots of the dragon lizard's big head. Not only that, Paimon even flew up into the sky and took a few pictures of the whole scene.

"Hey, that's pretty good." Yu Jin took the phonograph and looked at the images on it, nodding in satisfaction.

Then he ran onto the dragon lizard's body and carefully examined the giant beast that was being dragged along.

"What? What's the problem?"

Standing to the side, Kujo Sara saw how much Yujin cared for the dragon lizard and was afraid that something might go wrong.

This giant dragon lizard is no ordinary monster. As for the other dragon lizards, they can be easily suppressed by Kujo Sara or Goro.

However, if these two giant lizards were to awaken, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to check if there were any particularly obvious wounds on this guy's body."

Yu Jin pressed down on the keratinous skin on the surface of the giant dragon lizard, putting his worries at ease.

Given the toughness of this dragon lizard's skin, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's impervious to blades and spears. Unless something major happens, it would be very difficult to make a cut on it.

"Why are you so interested in the dragon lizard? It was the same the first two times, and it's the same this time."

Kujo Sara looked at the sleeping dragon lizard on the ground, then at the excited embers beside her, and finally asked the question that had been accumulating in her mind for a long time.

The fact that the two previous expeditions were so badly defeated by the dragon lizards was partly due to the dragon lizards' own strength, but the restrictive requirement of the embers to capture the dragon lizards alive was also a major reason for this situation.

If it were a real fight, humans might not win, but the dragon lizards would never be as comfortable as they are now.

"You wouldn't understand, would you?" Yu Jin held up a finger and shook it at Kujo Sara. Then he patted the latter's shoulder and said mysteriously:

"If you're not too busy during this time, don't leave Haiqi Island. Before long, I'll show you what the 'pinnacle of elemental power' really means!"

"The pinnacle of elemental power..." Kujo Sara crossed her arms, pondered for a moment, and then looked into the distance. "I have already seen what you are talking about. The General is the pinnacle of elemental power."
