Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

Even in such a desperate situation, the crowd was not foolish enough to seize the central position where the Heart Sea was located.

This is not only because the Coral Palace Heart Sea is the faith of the entire Haiqi Island, but also because of her absolute leadership and wisdom that ordinary people cannot reach.

Without Xinhai, even if they could survive this disaster, they would definitely not be able to survive in such a cramped environment for a long time. After all, sometimes losing faith is more terrifying than death.

So, looking at the Heart Sea gradually approaching the fire, the people below with red eyes finally calmed down and looked at the Lord of Coral Palace, whom they regarded as their faith.

Seeing the crowd quiet down and not throwing the weak women and children into the fire as fuel, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Xinhai! We don't want this either! But if we don't do this, we will all die! We just want to survive!"

The people cried, his eyes were full of despair and helplessness. His words were like a sharp knife, piercing deep into Xinhai's heart.

Xin Hai was silent. She understood the soldiers' despair, but she could not accept that they sacrificed the lives of others in exchange for their own survival. This was a betrayal of her beliefs and a blasphemy against her duties as a witch.

“Lord Orobas… it’s my incompetence. You gave up your life so that people like me could return to the ground and see the sun. Now, as the current human-god priestess of the Coral Palace, I have not only failed to lead my people to a better life.

Instead, they once again retreated into the bottomless darkness in humiliation. Not only that, they were unable to even guarantee the safety of their people.

Now, I cannot bear to see the people you protect fall into disaster. So I have to bear the guilt."

Xinhai silently prayed and repented in his heart to the great snake Oropas, the god who had truly protected Haiqi Island in the past.

Finally, he turned to the people and said, "Everyone! We have come to this point with great difficulty. I understand the fear and despair in your hearts.

We all want to live, but the value of life does not lie only in survival, but also in how we survive, how we treat others, and how we uphold our beliefs and morals.

We cannot abandon our beliefs out of fear, nor sacrifice innocent lives out of despair. This is an insult to ourselves and a blasphemy to Lord Orobas.

I know that I have the responsibility to protect you, but I hope that everyone can understand that if you really sacrifice others in order to survive yourself today, even if you really survive, you will only fall into endless mental torture and pain in the future.

That kind of torture and pain might be more terrifying than death. I'm sorry, maybe I'm really not a qualified human-god priestess?

I can no longer lead you all. So, as a mermaid, I will become your fuel, so that you can keep warm in this cold night, so that you can find hope in this darkness, and look forward to the "sun" rising.

May the light illuminate your future and your hearts..."

As Xinhai said this, he looked at the "Dainichi Mikoshi" towering in the distance. Lord Hoshigaki Kisame, please light the "sun" and save my people!

The "sun" did not rise in Xinhai's prayers. Instead, bloody pupils in the dark night stared at Xinhai in front of the campfire.

The Ice Dragon Lizard and the Thunder Dragon Lizard seemed to be one body and one mind, and they could sense each other. It seemed that it had sensed the death of the Thunder Dragon Lizard from afar.

It was so angry that it rushed into the crowd without fear of the light of the flames. Wherever it passed, there were corpses everywhere, like a heavy truck crashing into the crowd.

Even though its body was being burned painfully by the flames, it still clearly pounced on the heart sea above the bonfire on the high platform! Obviously, creatures like dragon lizards have intelligence close to that of humans!

Even if they cannot understand human language, they can certainly understand human behavior. And this ice dragon lizard obviously realized that the woman in front of the huge campfire was the leader of this group of humans.

She should sacrifice herself to save these selfish humans. This is unacceptable to the Ice Dragon Lizard, and it wants to kill all these humans to avenge the Thunder Dragon Lizard!

"Don't hurt Lord Xinhai!" I saw the tired Wulang appear under the campfire at some point, and he lit his bow and arrow with the campfire and rushed towards the ice dragon lizard.

The petite Wu Lang took the lead and stood in front of Xin Hai, and shot the flaming arrow in his hand into the mouth of the ice dragon lizard.

Although fire is indeed the nemesis of the Ice Dragon Spine, Goro himself is the owner of the Eye of the Rock God and does not have strong fire elemental power.

Therefore, although it slowed down the Ice Dragon Lizard, it did not cause much damage to it. It just diverted its anger.

The big mouth that should have pounced on Xin Hai bit Goro instead. Even though Uchiha Madara's illusion had already stopped Goro, the huge difference in strength meant that Goro's body and mind had no time to recover.

The sluggish body was unable to dodge the attack of the Ice Dragon Lizard, and the huge bloody mouth bit into Wulang's left shoulder. Even with the body improved by the Eye of God and the protection of the rock elemental power.

It is also impossible to completely resist the terrifying bite force of the ice dragon lizard!

All I could hear was the sound of bones breaking in Goro's shoulders, which made the scalp of the listener tingle.

"Wulang! Don't move, I will treat you right away!" Xinhai said as he was about to treat Wulang, but was forcibly stopped by Wulang.

"Ahem, Master Xinhai, there's no point in talking to me anymore. Don't worry about me. And if you mobilize the water element, the bonfire will go out faster, right?"

Wu Lang spoke with difficulty, and it was obvious that Wu Lang could still speak, which made the Ice Dragon Lizard grunt in dissatisfaction, and then it used a little more strength, trying to completely tear off half of Wu Lang's body.

Seeing Wu Lang's painful appearance, Xinhai didn't care about the high temperature of the fire. He held two pieces of hot charcoal with his flesh and blood body and threw them towards the ice dragon lizard's eyes.

"Roar!" After a tragic howl, the painful Ice Dragon Lizard could only reluctantly open its huge mouth and fell from the fire tower.

"Wulang! Wulang!" Xinhai called out to Wulang, who was covered in blood, with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, Wulang was still holding on to his breath, and he caressed Xinhai's pitiful face with tenderness.

"Lord Xinhai, I actually have a lot more to say to you. But unfortunately I don't have the chance... Lord Xinhai, Haiqi Island can be without anyone, but it definitely cannot be without you.

Wulang's body is no longer able to move, so please order me to be sacrificed."

In the end, Wu Lang still did not express his feelings, but was just worried about the future of Xinhai and the people of Haiqi Island.
