Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

Chapter 17: Grudges from Several Years Ago

While Nan Dou was thinking, he suddenly discovered that on the twentieth floor that had been cleared, a group of black shadows appeared on the ground, followed by monsters of various shapes emerging.

It seemed that someone didn't want him to stop, nor did he want to give him the chance to continue thinking.

However, Chi Yun's combat power completely crushed these shadow-like monsters, and he could easily defeat the enemy even without Nan Dou's command.

"Let me start from the beginning..."

The horse Hu Tao rides is not an ordinary horse, it is... the best horse in Liyue Harbor Inn!

Nan Dou remembered it very clearly, because the owner of the post station had once approached him to discuss letting Chi Yun breed the horse, but in the end Chi Yun did not like the horse.

But even so, Hu Tao liked the horse very much. He would play with it from time to time and even planned to buy it home when he saved enough money.

"The horses of the post station travel all over Liyue, and there are many opportunities for them to be tampered with during the process."

"So the enemy's goal is to lure me to this place as well?"

"You want to wipe out all the bloodlines of Wangshengtang..."

Nandou recalled that he had called Xiao outside the fog but received no response.

But the condition for summoning Xiao is not the sound, but a strong desire in the heart!

"Why didn't I think of it just now? Was my thinking affected by something?"

"It was the same when I saw the black tower just now. Is there some invisible force affecting my consciousness?!"

Thinking of this, the flame of rebirth began to spread in Nan Dou's body, and the darkness entangled in his consciousness gradually melted away.

"Understand the conditions for summoning immortals, understand the characteristics of the flame of rebirth, and have the ability to bewitch people and amplify their inner fears..."

"The only things that meet these conditions are the curses of the deceased demons and the twisted and dark remnants of the demons."

The flame of rebirth filled Nan Dou's body, and the caged world that imprisoned his consciousness began to fall apart.

When Nan Dou came to his senses again, the scene before him had completely changed.

In a narrow, dark and damp cave, Nan Dou was standing still riding on Chi Yun, with the flame of rebirth burning on his body, and a few meters away was Hu Tao, who was also standing still.

"walnut!"

Nan Dou jumped off Chi Yun's back and ran to Hu Tao in a few steps. The Flame of Rebirth in his hand purified the haze on her body.

"elder brother?"

Hu Tao woke up in a trance, his eyes full of fear and dread.

"What happened to you just now, Kurumi?"

"Brother, I just...just saw you...you were in front of me..."

Walnut shook her head, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

Nan Dou knew what had happened without having to hear the whole story. He raised the Homa staff high in anger, and the rising flames illuminated every dark corner of the cave.

"Whoever you are, get out of here!"

"Hehehe, are you anxious? Angry?"

“I feel extremely happy.”

As a teasing voice sounded in the cave, thick darkness appeared out of thin air in front of Nan Dou and Hu Tao, and then a figure that they were very familiar with emerged from it - the scarred face who robbed them when they were six years old but was killed by Yan Xiao!

However, any discerning person can see that this is definitely not Scarface himself.

With the help of the Flame of Rebirth, Nan Dou immediately saw through the other party's twisted and dark soul!

The black shadow flashed by and came to Nan Dou's side, but was forced back by the flame of rebirth on his body.

"This flame is still as annoying as before."

Seeing his master being approached by the bad guys, Chi Yun rushed towards the scar-faced man.

But Scarface dodged it easily.

Nan Dou held Hu Tao and climbed onto Chi Yun's back, and the fire of rebirth covered Chi Yun's body again.

"Get out of here Chiyun!"

Chi Yun, whose bloodline was activated, roared and ran towards the cave entrance.

"Scarface" didn't feel anxious at all, and watched quietly as the two men and the horse moved away from his sight.

The cave is narrow, but the footprints on the way here are very clear, so there is no need to worry about running in the wrong direction.

A quarter of an hour later, Nan Dou unexpectedly found a scar-faced figure in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, the flame of rebirth rose again, "Charge!"

Chi Yun ignored Scarface and rushed past him.

But Nan Dou immediately discovered something strange.

There was one more row of footprints on the ground, which meant that they ran around and came back!

Nan Dou, who didn't believe in evil, asked Chi Yun to run another lap. This time, he stared at the surrounding environment with wide eyes, trying to find the hidden fork in the road.

But in the end, the result was that he appeared in front of Scarface again.

"Is it fun, kid?"

"This is my world. If you want to leave, how can you do so without my consent?"

"Besides, your energy and strength are almost exhausted, right?"

Scarface spoke calmly to Nandou as if he had a handle on the situation, not at all like the degenerate remnants of a demon that Nandou had seen before, tainted by madness and bloodlust.

Even though Scarface had no intention of attacking, Nan Dou did not dare to let the Flame of Rebirth go out. The thick darkness around him had been quietly surrounding him since he woke up from the hallucination, and he did not want to know the consequences of being contaminated by those things.

"What on earth are you?"

Nan Dou asked, his brain working rapidly, thinking of a way to escape.

Scarface saw through Nan Dou's intention to delay time at a glance, but he didn't care.

Instead, his mouth opened into a thrilling arc, and he slowly explained the reason why he attacked the two men.

"When I was defeated in the battle with Morax and was seriously injured and dying, I met that damn human when I was extremely weak."

"That damn flame burned my body and annihilated my soul. If I hadn't fought back with all my might, I would have fallen into his hands."

"Later, I was found by Morax and sealed by him, but that damned human didn't live long either."

"Maybe it was God's blessing that I met his descendants thousands of years later when I just escaped from the predicament."

"How should I entertain you?"

"..."

Scarface gradually lost his human form and turned into a puddle of mud.

As Scarface's story comes to an end, the flame of rebirth in Nan Dou is finally about to burn out.

The surrounding darkness took advantage of the weakening of the Flame of Rebirth and slowly approached the two people and the horse.

"Hu Walnut, come here."

What Scarface didn't expect was that Nandou suddenly handed the Homa staff in his hand to Hu Tao.

The bright flame of rebirth burned brightly once again, even more powerful than Nan Dou's.

"Great, great, great, both of them have inherited this magical flame."

"If it weren't for the connection between the two of you, I should have gotten rid of you first."

"But I just have to wait a little longer. I still have the patience."

As if he was suppressing his inner desires, the mud-like demon stood where he was and did not approach the brother and sister.

Nan Dou has figured out the current situation.

The guy in front of him is not the remnant of the demon, but a real demon. He has been sealed for thousands of years, and his body was completely destroyed by the Flame of Rebirth before it was sealed.

Now, his mind doesn't seem to be very clear, and he has only a tiny bit of strength left. He is even very afraid of the Flame of Rebirth.

However, Nan Dou was a little surprised by the reason for being called.

Ten days before Scarface and his gang met Nan Dou, they accidentally broke a small hole in the seal of this unknown demon in this cave.

The unknown demon also took the opportunity to use all the power that could penetrate the seal to plant something in the souls of the three people.

Originally, with the power of the unknown demon at that time, the things in the souls of the three people would naturally disappear in a month at most.

But they never expected to encounter Yan Xiao, who chose to kill them in order to protect Nan Dou and the other two. After his death, that power controlled the helpless souls of the three.

And by using the souls of three people, he was able to use more power from his own body.

At the same time, information about the two people was obtained from passers-by from time to time. So starting from that horse, a conspiracy against the two people gradually unfolded.
