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

Liyue, above an unknown forest.

"Where on earth... where on earth is it?!"

Nan Dou anxiously circled around the place where the incident happened as described by Master Liuyun Jiefeng, but he didn't sense any presence.

"No, if the enemy has a powerful way to hide his aura, or has spatial abilities, I will not be able to find anything by searching like this."

Nan Dou realized the problem and quickly descended to the place where Qianyan Army was attacked.

Nan Dou didn't need to go through as much trouble as Xiao Guang and the other two to search for clues. He just closed his eyes and everything within a radius of several kilometers appeared clearly in his mind.

"The footprints and breath of Xiaoguang, Ling, and Lingyun are relatively fresh. They are definitely from three days ago."

"It's been a while since the last breath of hundreds of humans left. And..."

Nan Dou suddenly discovered a purple-black light in the world where various elemental forces were flowing.

"... Abyssal energy and the auras of two different demon gods. This strength... is only that of a subordinate."

“What is going on? Even if they are hostile to Morax, they can’t side with the Will of the Abyss. It is a monster that wants to devour the entire Teyvat.”

Nan Dou pondered for a moment and came up with an answer in his mind: "Then there is only one possibility. The will of the abyss has corroded the followers of the two demon gods and used them for its own purposes."

"If I think about it carefully, the power has set a trap for the demon followers related to the seal silently. When the Thousand Rock Army approaches, it will block all information and abilities, and then the followers of the Dream Demon God will control them all without them noticing."

"But what is their purpose? To continue to let the will of the abyss erode more people and gain more power?"

"No, Master Liuyun Jiefeng once said that everything the Abyss Will does is to break the seal of the Space Ruler, so that it can return to Teyvat and completely devour Teyvat."

"The way to break the seal is to allow the power of the abyss to grow in Teyvat. The fastest way is to open the space crack from Teyvat to the abyss, which is the abyss passage!"

Thinking of the disappeared Qianyan Army and the subsequent support troops, Nan Dou suddenly thought of a possibility: sacrifice!

At the same time, Nan Dou also completed the search for the remaining aura of Xiaoguang and the other two.

"No matter who you are, if you dare to touch my students, I will grind you to dust!"

The red flames burned wildly on Nan Dou's body, and the two eyes on the Nuo mask were ignited by the flames, lighting up with scarlet light.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The flames on the angry Nan Dou's body made a terrifying explosion sound, and in just an instant he appeared several kilometers away.

Ten seconds later, Nan Dou arrived at the place where Xiaoguang and the other two disappeared.

After a few seconds.

"The remaining breath of space, the breath of abyssal energy..."

"No, not here!"

Nan Dou disappeared again.

This time, Nan Dou appeared exactly where he had appeared at the place of sacrifice.

The strong and sickening smell of blood coming from the empty forest made Nan Dou frown, and he could tell at a glance that there was something fishy going on.

"Hidden?"

Nan Dou raised his left hand, and Zhu Xi turned into a golden longbow burning with flames, which he held tightly. He pulled the string with his right hand, and a violent arrow with sparks and electric currents quickly condensed into shape.

"get out!"

Nan Dou was in a state of rage and became extremely irritable, and the bowstring that he had pulled with all his strength loosened in an instant.

“Whoosh~ Boom!”

The arrow, a perfect fusion of fire and lightning elements, made a terrifying sound as it flew out. After hitting a transparent, hidden barrier, the two elements in the arrow, which had been compressed countless times, began to react. Under Nan Dou's control, an explosion that affected hundreds of meters occurred.

The outline of the transparent barrier that was originally hidden was revealed in the explosion. After tenaciously resisting for more than ten seconds, it was broken by the violent explosion, revealing the hidden place of sacrifice.

"Is it here?"

Nan Dou said nothing, transformed the longbow in his hand into a long sword, and flew straight into the place of sacrifice.

Pools of blood, broken limbs, everything was the same as it was three days ago, but there was less vitality.

Soon, Nan Dou toured the entire sacrificial site, but did not find any trace of living creatures.

"Even though the disgusting smell of blood is very strong, it still can't cover up Xiaoguang and the others' aura. I can feel that Xiaoguang used the power of the mark with all his strength here."

"The sacrificial ritual here has also been destroyed, and only a trace of spatial aura remains."

Nan Dou looked at the claw marks all over the depths of the sacrificial site and the ritual props scattered everywhere, and his doubts deepened.

In order to find clues, Nam-do carefully examined the damaged ritual props.

"Strange, why does it smell like lavender?"

Just as Nan Dou was puzzled, a familiar figure appeared behind him.

"My name is Xiao, and Lord Morax sent me here to investigate the situation here."

Nan Dou turned around and saw Xiao wearing a Nuo mask. Before coming, Master Liuyun Jiefeng had mentioned to him that Morax had sent someone to investigate. It seemed that the person was Xiao, who was also a Yaksha.

Xiao was very cautious and did not approach Nan Dou easily just because they were of the same race.

"I'm Nan Dou, I'm here to look for my students."

In order to dispel Xiao's concerns, Nandou took the initiative to summon the Yaksha Nuo mask, revealing Yaksha's true form, and at the same time the flame element possessed him again.

This is because people who are eroded by the power of the abyss will be affected when they use elemental power, causing the elemental power to be contaminated by the energy of the abyss. The specific manifestation is that the elemental power is mixed with purple and black color.

Nandou's action dispelled Xiao's doubts and he relaxed his vigilance towards him a little.

"You got here before me. Did you find anything?"

Nandou shared his discovery with Xiao...

Xiao immediately gave his answer: "It is a foregone conclusion that the Will of the Abyss intervened. Before us, someone made efforts to sabotage the mastermind behind this incident."

"I don't know what their final outcome was. Maybe they were already sacrificed, but there are still clues left behind..."

Hearing what Xiao said, Nan Dou couldn't help but clench his fists. He felt even worse and asked anxiously, "I just want to know where to find my students!"

Xiao was a little surprised: "If it is related to those two demon gods, there is only one place where there is a lot of lavender..."
