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

In the forest, on a man-made road, more than 30 carts loaded with supplies were quietly abandoned in place. The beasts pulling the carts also disappeared, leaving only a mess of footprints on the ground.

After checking that there was no dangerous aura around, Xiaoguang and the other two came to the convoy.

After some inspection...

"There are no signs that the materials have been touched, but the Qianyan Army that escorted the materials and the beasts that pulled the carts are gone."

"Other than that, there were no signs of a fight at the scene, only a few sparse bloodstains."

There was a faint white light in Ling's eyes as he analyzed it quickly and concisely.

"There is a scent of some kind of formation in the air, and there are no signs of struggle, which means the opponent's strength is at least at the primary level of the demon god."

"To be able to make so many people fall victim to the attack at the same time, the opponent must have either set up a formation in advance, or he is extremely powerful."

Ling Yun then added some information.

"The Rebirth Flame Mark has some fluctuations, which means that the remaining power here is a spiritual ability."

"According to intelligence, there were activities of the Dream Demon God in this area a few months ago. It is related to the recent collaboration between the Dream Demon God and an unknown demon god with power and seals."

"This incident was most likely caused by them!"

The basis for Xiaoguang's analysis is that in front of this resource transportation team, the front line guarded by the Qianyan Army and the Immortal Race was also attacked by the opposing forces.

Among the forces in Liyue Harbor, Morax and Rota Dragon King combined are enough to be called the strongest existence in the Liyue battlefield, but being the strongest often means being targeted.

In order to win, Liyue Harbor faces more than just pressure from one side. Morax and Rota Dragon King cannot relax, nor dare to withdraw easily, otherwise the weak points of their own forces will be attacked by the enemy who has been eyeing them for a long time.

This attack incident has actually happened countless times in the Demon War and is not something uncommon.

This incident, which was understated and not even a single word was recorded in history, resulted in the sacrifice of hundreds of people.

"What to do next, Captain, you decide."

Xiaoguang closed his eyes and began to think.

Because of the Demon War, Xiaoguang lost his parents when he was young, but he did not hate Morax and the immortals.

He knew that his parents fought for him, for Liyue, and for the people who would live a stable and happy life on the land of Liyue in the future.

Only under the leadership of Morax can Liyue become prosperous and strong, Xiaoguang has thought so since he was a child.

Suddenly, Xiao Guang opened his eyes: "Continue investigating. Based on the bloodstains and footprints, we should find out where the enemy has taken the Qianyan Army. At least we should find out whether they are alive or dead!"

After Xiaoguang gave the order, the three left a message at the scene, and then quickly followed the traces left by the enemy and continued to move forward.

After advancing about thirty meters, the three found the first trace of the Qianyan Army.

"careful!"

Seeing the survivors, the three did not rush forward immediately, but formed a formation and carefully used magic to check for possible traps.

But what was strange was that until the three of them reached the survivors, they did not find any trace of a trap.

Xiaoguang waved to the survivor, and Ling's body quickly wrapped around him.

After a while.

"His vital signs are stable, and there are no obvious injuries on his body. He is just unconscious."

After hearing Ling's report, Xiao Guang's flame mark lit up on his forehead. After carefully examining it, he said, "The mark is slightly fluctuating. It should be because he was attacked mentally."

"I'll wake him up right away..."

"and many more!"

Xiaoguang waved his hand to stop Ling, and gave Lingyun a look. The two of them immediately and tacitly used magical powers to suppress the survivors.

"Okay."

Ling gently touched the survivor's forehead with his cold tail.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~ It's so cold! So cold!"

The survivor shuddered and opened his eyes suddenly.

Seeing the three obviously extraordinary people surrounding them, Xiaoguang, the surviving Qianyan Army became a little nervous.

Xiaoguang immediately presented the proof, which made the survivors feel relieved.

"Don't be nervous, you are safe now. Now do you need to tell us what happened?"

Xiaoguang still did not let his guard down. When all the members were abducted, there was a survivor who was intact and just in a coma. It seemed like the enemy did it on purpose, but he didn't know what the enemy's method was yet.

"I... I don't know anything. I was just escorting the supplies when I suddenly felt a little sleepy. Then I saw a black shadow flash before my eyes, and then I passed out."

Hearing the other party's words, Xiao Guang frowned. This was equivalent to saying nothing, which made him continue to ask with some disbelief: "Apart from this, is there anything else that impressed you?"

"Abnormal? Let me think..."

"Oh, by the way, before I passed out, I smelled the scent of lavender!"

Xiao Guang recalled the place where the convoy was just now and did not smell the scent of lavender. He asked again uncertainly: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! It's definitely the smell of lavender. Lavender is grown on the hillside near my home. I have a deep impression of its smell. I can't remember it wrong!"

Hearing the survivor's affirmation, Xiao Guang chose to believe it, and then said to the survivor: "Next, we have to continue tracking the enemy's trail and can't take care of you."

"We will set up a magic circle to hide your presence nearby. You stay here and wait for us to come back. If we don't come back after half a day, you can make your own decision. You can either wait or retreat."

Xiaoguang dispelled the remaining spiritual aura from the survivors and left enough food and water to sustain them for three days.

"Thank you, immortal! Thank you, immortal!"

Just when Xiaoguang and Lingyun were setting up the formation, Ling took advantage of the survivor's inattention and whipped him on the neck with his tail, knocking him unconscious.

"I feel relieved now. He will be unconscious for about half a day."

Xiaoguang and Lingyun quickly completed the arrangement of the formation and were not at all surprised by Ling's actions.

If a person who appears out of nowhere is allowed to move freely, he may be controlled by the enemy again and do something that is disadvantageous to them.

Ling not only made him faint, but also used magic to tie him to the tree, which also took half a day.

After doing all this, the three of them continued to follow the trail. A lot of time had already been wasted and they couldn't delay any longer.

This cautious attitude is the real reason why the three have never lost any manpower while carrying out missions over the years.

This is also thanks to Nan Dou's teaching. How to survive, how to make the last move, and how to escape when the situation is bad are all the key points he taught.

Because Nan Dou knows very well that only by living can there be a future, and no matter how high the talent is, it will take time to realize it.

"Teacher Nandou, this time, we will also complete the task perfectly."

Xiaoguang, feeling somewhat uneasy, thought to herself with a determined look in her eyes.
