The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Unfortunately, the dragon lizard's roar was louder than the embers' voice, completely drowning out his questions.

"The dragon lizard has gone mad!!!"

"Demons truly cannot be explained by common sense. Just wait and see what I'll do in two days..."

"Two days my foot! Run! Otherwise, if you get trampled to death, no one will collect your body!"

Not only that, the shouts of the surrounding soldiers were no less than the roars of the dragon lizard, and the combination of the two made Yu Jin pick at his ears.

Looking at the soldiers being chased around by the dragon lizards, Yu Jin suddenly felt a toothache.

Blue flakes fell from the sky—the feathers plucked from Dvarin were not yet all used.

If this scene were to occur on any other day, the dragon lizards would definitely drop everything to fight for the feathers in the sky.

But clearly, that's not the case now. The dragon lizards are still attacking everything in sight indiscriminately.

Not only humans, but many lizards even started fighting with their own kind.

"This didn't work? Looks like he really is insane." Ember reached out and caught the Dvalin feather falling from the sky. He remarked with a hint of surprise.

Seeing this, Yu Jin stopped thinking about finding the culprit who was littering. The important thing now was to stabilize the situation.

"Troublesome. I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon after I made it." After smacking his lips, Yu Jin took out the "Heart of God" that he had made earlier.

Holding the weight high, the embers revealed the number "five" on its surface.

Then the rioting dragon lizards seemed to be put on pause, their movements instantly coming to a standstill.

However, the pause was brief. The dragon lizard turned around, its crazed eyes involuntarily drawn to the weight in Ember's hand, especially the number "five" on it.

The dragon lizard's chaotic mind was originally empty, but now something has directly entered it.

This thing punched and kicked, directly pushing the madness in the dragon lizards' minds to the back and forcing a sliver of clarity into their minds.

But this clarity lasted only a moment before it was taken over by something that burrowed into the dragon lizard's mind—something called "mockery."

"Roar!!!"

Beyond the chaos, all the dragon lizards' eyes burned with rage. The way they looked at Ember at that moment was more intense than that of a father's killer.

"I hope the Fools can handle such a hateful effect." Watching the dragon lizards rushing towards him, Ember lay flat on the ground, silently praying for the Fools.

The fifth-generation student is very easy to kill.

"Thump! Clang! Clang!"

The dragon lizards surrounded Ember and, without saying a word, began punching and kicking him.

Like the sound of a blacksmith forging iron, echoing in the center of the crowded lizard swarm, the clanging sounds even had a certain rhythm to them.

This caused the soldiers who were busy fleeing nearby to stop in their tracks. Looking at Ember, who was surrounded by dragon lizards, they felt a surge of indescribable emotion.

As soon as Ember pulled something out, the dragon lizards rushed towards him, a scene witnessed by many soldiers.

It's obvious that Yu Jin must have used some method to attract the dragon lizard's hatred.

But the more crucial point is that Ember has been the superior of these soldiers during this period. Who were the superiors of these soldiers before?

Those were all scions of powerful and influential families. Although there was little deliberate bullying from those who followed them, the disdain in their eyes was something that powerful and influential families never bothered to hide.

But Yu Jin was different from those arrogant guys. Although he was unpredictable and his behavior was unreliable, the soldiers had long since accepted him after spending time with him.

After all, every morning when they woke up, they would always see Yu Jin lying on the ground picking his toes. When it came to meals, he would just stuff roadside weeds into his mouth and chew them dry.

Despite being the commander, he ate worse than the soldiers and slept later than them. As for discrimination, there was none—it would be a miracle if you could see any discrimination in his eyes while he was wearing that big helmet.

Now, Ember has even sacrificed himself, using his own body to draw the dragon lizard's hatred. How could this not move the soldiers?

"Lord Ember, hold on, I'm coming to save you!" Upon seeing Ember being attacked by the dragon lizards, someone immediately rushed over with shouts.

"call!"

"what--"

Before the excited soldiers could even run a few steps, several pitchforks flew out from the swarm of dragon lizards, piercing the soldiers' waists and abdomens, and carrying them far away in the opposite direction.

Along with the shouts of the soldiers in the distance, the impatient shooing of the embers also rang out:

"Get out! Get out of here! I find you all a nuisance!"

As they were speaking, several more pitchforks flew out, spearing the few closest to the dragon lizards into the air.

"Gulu!"

"Take care, Lord Ember, we'll be going now!"

After swallowing hard, the soldiers who had just been wiping their noses and tears immediately disappeared, making full use of their speed.

Since Yu Jin has demonstrated the ability to emerge unscathed from the horde of dragon lizards, there's no need for these lowly soldiers to get involved.

Neither being kicked away by a dragon lizard nor being speared away by embers were experiences the soldiers wanted to have.

Yu Jin, turning sideways, saw the soldiers' frantic retreating figures through the gaps between the dragon lizards' flailing thighs, which relieved him.

"Phew... the bystanders have finally left."

After letting out a sigh, he turned to the other side. Looking at the dragon lizards frantically "massaging" him, Ember fell into thought.

"Littering? If I catch you, you'll be sorry!"

There was a lot of black mud on the ground, and it appeared out of nowhere. Combining this with the spatial fluctuations he had sensed earlier, Ember thought it was most likely the work of the Abyss Cult.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to find the Abyss Cult. Anyway, with that traitor Yuan Shang around, he could just ask around to find out the Abyss Cult's location.

The important thing now is to settle the lizards back down.

Facing the lizards' chaotic biting and clawing, Ember gradually stood up from the ground.

Suddenly, darkness enveloped Yu Jin's vision. Feeling the pressure coming from his neck, Yu Jin almost couldn't help but throw a punch.

"Get out of here! You've already knocked out your teeth and you're still biting here!" Unable to lift the dragon lizard that was biting his head, Ember tossed it to the outermost edge of the dragon lizard swarm.

After prying out the broken teeth stuck in the gaps in the armor, Ember planned to remove the things that didn't belong to these dragon lizards from their bodies.

If left unchecked, the dragon lizards might knock off all their teeth before giving up their attack on Ember.

Taking a deep breath, Ember prepared to loosen the suction slightly and try to draw out the black mud that had invaded the dragon lizard's body.

But what he didn't expect was that someone else was faster than him.

"呲~"

Suppressive lightning enveloped the sandy land, and the purple color seemed to take on a tangible form, forcibly restraining the dragon lizards' movements.

The previously chaotic scene suddenly quieted down, with the dragon lizards baring their teeth or raising their claws, looking just like statues.

Then, dazzling bolts of lightning descended from the sky. The lightning split into countless beams, falling into the bodies of each dragon lizard, causing slight changes to their bodies as a result.

Their unchanging bodies began to tremble, and thick black sweat began to seep from their tough skin. The black mud was actually forced out by the dragon lizards themselves!

Seeing this scene before him, Yu Jin stopped what he was doing. He raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh ho, finally starting to look like a god."

"Bah!"

After the black mud flowed out of the dragon lizard's body, it was followed by a dazzling purple light that burst forth from their bodies.

Previously, this light only represented killing and destruction, but now it has become a symbol of redemption.

After passing through the dragon lizard's body, the purple light quickly traversed the battlefield. Soon, this purple light, along with the black mud on the ground and the dragon lizard's body, flew into the sky.

When they came, these lights were incredibly pure, but when they returned, they were mixed with darkness.

The suffocating atmosphere above Haiqi Island disappeared, and the dazzling purple light vanished without a trace.

After the strange phenomenon dissipated, the ground was covered with countless dead dragon lizards.

Squatting down and prying open his eyelids, Ember saw what the dragon lizard looked like when it rolled its eyes and fell to the ground.

He was 100% certain that the dragon lizard's sleep quality this time would be even better than if it had been put into a hypnotic pot!

"How are these dragons now?" Shadow appeared instantly behind Ember, looking down at the unconscious dragon lizard, and asked calmly.

"Not bad. Let me guess... this precise control of elemental power, your older sister taught you, right?"

Ember lowered the dragon lizard's eyelids, slowly stood up, and spoke to Shadow.

Ying, she probably only uses elemental power in battle, but the fact that she's using it so skillfully now must mean that Zhen taught her.

A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across Ying's face; this was indeed something she had been taught.

After parting ways with Ember last time, Shadow went back and talked with True for a while. During their conversation, they discussed not only their speculations about the Winter Queen, but also the various uses of elemental power and the Heart of God.

This scene is the first practical demonstration after Shadow and True's conversation.

"The elimination was fairly thorough, but how come I didn't know that elemental power could defeat abyssal power?"

After a quick look at the nearby dragon lizards, Yu Jin noticed that the black mud inside their bodies had been removed incredibly cleanly, which puzzled him.

Aren't elemental forces always considered inferior? When have they ever been so assertive, even managing to drive away the power of the abyss?

“Elemental power is inherently ineffective against abyssal power; this was merely a clever trick.” Shadow shook his head. Elemental power is naturally at a disadvantage when facing the abyss.

She looked at the dragon lizard lying on the ground and continued, "The reason we were able to force the power of the abyss out this time is firstly because the dragon lizards themselves have strong adaptability. The elemental power I used this time was close to the primal elemental power, which fully stimulated their adaptability..."

At this point, Ying paused, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the discomfort in her body.

"Secondly, these abyssal forces are no longer in their original volatile state; they have been stabilized by some other force."

Ying sighed, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare to inhale all this filth!"

Of course, it doesn't matter now...

"Aren't you afraid of going crazy one day if you inhale all this stuff?"

Upon hearing this, Ember immediately examined Shadow closely. Shadow's strength was beyond doubt, and Ember believed that she could withstand even the true Abyss for a while.

But the key lies in someone with her abilities. Even the slightest mishap would pose a huge risk.

If Shadow occasionally goes berserk and delivers a few unintentional blows to Inazuma, then Inazuma will be homeless.

"Who said I inhaled it?" Shadow glanced at Ember, then took out his Heart of God.
