The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 250: Gray Sea of ​​Fire
"No rush? But didn't you say before that it was too late?"

Chen Tianfeng frowned slightly - although there was no subtle change in the giant snake's expression, he then became curious: "By the way, I forgot to ask you before, what did you mean by 'too late'?"

"…Because of the war."

Hanasari walked out from behind the shadow, sighed and looked up, wanting to explain in detail, when she saw the giant snake approaching curiously. Hanasari's expression froze slightly, and she stopped abruptly in the middle of her sigh, silently retreated behind the shadow, and spoke very quickly.

"Your Excellency should know that the earth veins carry the memory of the earth, and all the bad things that happen on the earth, such as hunger, war, and epidemics, may become nutrients for the filth of the earth veins, making it stronger. The Inazuma Civil War is getting more and more intense. For some reason, the people of the Coral Palace are suddenly excited, but the shogunate is a little lacking in confidence and the people are panicking."

"At this moment, both sides have deployed their troops on Bayun Island. The situation is tense, like a powder keg. It only needs a little spark to explode. By then, the filth of the earth veins will surely increase dramatically, but the Divine Cherry Tree is on the verge of its limit and can no longer withstand the slightest stimulation. That's why I said it's too late."

At this point, she changed the subject and said, "But now it seems that the top leaders of both the shogunate and Kaigi Island are trying their best to control the situation and slow down or prevent the appearance of the spark. Although they are unable to change the outcome, they have at least bought us some time, so we are really not in a hurry now and can take our time."

“…Do I really look that scary?”

Chen Tianfeng felt a little heartbroken. He looked down at his gray-white scales, muttered something in a language that Ying and Hua Sanli could not understand, and then took a deep breath.

call--

Like the sound of a gust of wind passing by.

A strong wind suddenly blew up in the space at the tree roots that could barely accommodate the giant snake, causing sand and rocks to fly, but it soon stopped.

Hua Sanli held the mask with one hand and grabbed Ying's arm with the other, thus steadying his body and avoiding flying out and being buried in the snake's mouth prematurely.

"Thank you." Hua Sanli patted his chest and thanked Ying in a low voice.

"It's okay." Ying shook his head, opened his mouth, looked away and then back, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything and prevent the war from breaking out."

Hua Sanli was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, I believe you."

Ying said nothing more and turned to look at Chen Tianfeng.

At this moment, the underground tree root space was no longer as dark and evil as before. The dark purple miasma that lingered above the cave entrance also disappeared. The sunlight shone through, illuminating the tiny floating dust, and it seemed somewhat quiet and peaceful.

The giant snake coiled on the tree roots also disappeared, replaced by a black-haired young man. He shook his robe, pressed his palm on the hilt of the knife out of habit, and walked towards the two women with a helpless look on his face: "It's back, is this okay now?"

Really, he won’t eat them... No, it seems like he will really eat one of them.

Chen Tianfeng scratched his hair, not wanting to think about these things, and said, "Let's get started as soon as possible. Inazuma still has a lot of things waiting for us to deal with."

"I understand." Hua Sanli nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Then, the first place where filth gathers is..."

"No need to bother, it's right here." Chen Tianfeng waved his hand to interrupt her and said with a smile: "I just tried it, my human form eats... I mean swallows, the speed is not slow, it's just a little troublesome, it's okay."

"you……"

Hua Sanli seemed to want to say something, but she said nothing. She just took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand. I believe you."

"Go ahead, I'll help too."

Ying clenched her hands, and a naginata with jumping electric light appeared in her hands.

Hanasari exchanged a last look with the two of them, and then, without further hesitation, she turned and walked towards the main root of the sacred cherry tree. She stretched out her hand, pressed on the root of the sacred cherry tree that was corroded by filth, and gently closed her eyes.

next moment,
"Squeak!" A noisy and shrill sound rang out, and dozens of roots rose from the ground, entwined into a ball in the air, emitting a strange and ominous aura. At the same time, groups of purple-black smoke suddenly appeared, twisting and changing, and gradually taking a clear shape.

Sea Ghost, Beast Realm Hound, Hillock Thunder King... one after another, special earth vein monsters appeared. They roared, and their scarlet eyes surrounded by purple-black smoke looked at Chen Tianfeng and Ying, releasing undisguised hideous malice.

"Roar--!"

The underground monster roared and rushed over like a torrent, as if it was going to drown Chen Tianfeng and the other man and tear them to pieces.

"Be careful, hide behind me and protect yourself."

Ying's face was serious, his purple eyes and the ends of his hair that fell to his calves lit up slightly, and his naginata turned slightly, and a deep purple lightning blade light burst out!

"boom!"

Several sea monsters rushing in the front were cut in half, exploded with a bang, turned into a cloud of smoke and returned to the group of monsters. In just three or two seconds, they condensed into new monsters and rushed towards the two of them with a roar.

“Actually, I’m pretty strong.”

Chen Tianfeng drew his sword from its sheath, with gray-white flames rising from the blade. He turned quickly and chopped the beast hound that had quietly moved behind him into smoke with one blow, which was then completely devoured by the gray-white flames.

"Also, you can't eat them, and you can't purify them, so I'm the main force in this battle."

"Your knife skills are terrible."

"No, I just made one move. How do you know my swordsmanship is bad?"

"A glimpse of the leopard through a tube can reveal the whole."

"...Okay, okay."

Chen Tianfeng grinned, glanced at the underground space that was almost filled with filthy monsters, then looked up at the huge miasma formed by the infected roots of the sacred cherry tree above, and his expression became serious.

"bass!"

The emerald green long sword turned over, Chen Tianfeng held the hilt with both hands, squatted suddenly, and thrust the long sword into the ground: "Be careful!"

"boom!!!"

With Chen Tianfeng as the center, the gray-white flame spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire ground except for the exposed roots of the sacred cherry tree, covering all the ferocious monsters. The flames flickered, biting the monsters like living things, greedily devouring this delicious food.

The ferocious laughter of a giant snake could be heard faintly in the air.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Shadow."

Chen Tianfeng hid in the blazing gray-white flames. He raised his hand and pointed at the shadow standing in the air, keeping a sufficient distance from the gray-white flames. A ball of gray-white gelatinous substance flew towards her and turned into a thin film that wrapped the blade of the naginata.

The corner of Ying's eyes twitched, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was a tiny gap between the gray-white film and the blade of the Naginata, and that it would not erode the naginata.

She turned the blade and slapped down the filthy monster that was jumping madly with an illusion of fear in its eyes. Then, without even looking at the monster, she rushed straight towards the miasma tumor with the naginata in hand.

It must be resolved quickly!

Whether it's for Inazuma or for Nagigusa no Inahiru!
