Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 356 Night Attack

Seeing Kailin making such a fuss, Mo Yan suddenly had the urge to press her head into the pillow, but after thinking about it carefully, he forced himself to hold back.

But at this moment, Kailin took the initiative to lean in front of him.

"But then again, back in the desert, even though you said that just for show, don't you really have that thought?"

Mo Yan froze as if struck by lightning, his Adam's apple rolling.

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

"I just want to know, if I give you another chance like this, will you really..."

Mo Yan's breath hitched. Kailin's face was so close, the moonlight reflected in her eyes, like a faint fire. Her hair fell, gently brushing against his neck, tickling his heart so much that it made his heart beat wildly.

And just then...

"Hey, you two, don't forget we're still here."

A sudden sound broke the ambiguous atmosphere on the bed. Looking back, I saw that the curtains on both sides had been quietly drawn open without me noticing.

Zixuan sat on the bed, holding her chin with one hand and looking at them with a playful smile; Zhao Heng leaned against the head of the bed awkwardly, pretending to read a book that came from nowhere; as for Tianlang, he actually sat on the floor right in front of Mo Yan's bed, hugging his legs and watching quietly.

Seeing this, Kailin blushed instantly: “No, when did you wake up?”

Zixuan slowly curled the ends of her hair: "Since someone said 'do something exciting'?"

Zhao Heng nodded and remained silent, while Tianlang continued to sit on the floor. He smiled charmingly and said, "I just woke up to go to the bathroom and overheard your conversation."

"Besides, we're in the same room, and the noise was so loud just now, it's hard not to wake him up, right?" Zi Xuan winked mischievously, then smiled wickedly, "Do you want to continue? If so, do you want me to help you pull the curtain back?"

Bah!

A pillow hit the wall behind Zixuan. At this moment, Kailin jumped off the bed with a red face and hurriedly fastened her belt.

"Shut up! Am I not trying to lighten the mood?"

"Really?" Zi Xuan's smile deepened, and she deliberately dragged out her tone. "Then this method of 'lightening the atmosphere' is really... unique."

The tips of Kailin's ears were red, almost dripping blood. She grabbed another pillow and pretended to throw it, but suddenly...

dong... dong... dong...

Three bell tolls echoed from afar, remarkably clear in the still night. Everyone instantly fell silent, even their breathing becoming lighter.

Zhao Heng went to the window and looked out: "The alarm bell has sounded. Miss Ye Lan's guess was correct. Those guys really attacked the city at night."

"Then let's go and help!" Kailin suddenly became serious, and the previous embarrassment was swept away.

At this time, Zi Xuan said, "Don't worry. According to the plan, we will split up into two groups. Zhao Heng and I will deal with the people at the city gate. Kailin, you and Mo Yan will guard the city as planned."

"Where is that wolf?" Mo Yan asked.

Tianlang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Kailin the next second: "Come on, considering his current condition, should he protect this place or should we protect him? I think it's better for him to stay here."

Hearing this, Tianlang coughed awkwardly: "Although that's the case, there's no need to be so extreme..."

"Really? I think you misunderstood." Karen put her hands on her hips, dissatisfaction in her eyes.

After leaving the brigade, the four of them split into two groups. The night was as dark as ink, and the streets of Linglang City were filled with tension. In the distance, the sounds of fighting could be heard faintly from the city walls, and flames illuminated half the sky red.

Kailin and Mo Yan walked quickly along the alley. The information provided by Ye Lan showed that the Fallen Angel Brigade was very likely to take advantage of the chaos to create a second wave of disorder in the city.

"Hey, were you serious just now?" Mo Yan suddenly asked in a low voice, his eyes still scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Kailin paused, glanced sideways at him, and raised a sly smile at the corner of her mouth: "Why, you only remember to ask now? It's too late!"

Suddenly, a beast howl came from the front.

Without a second thought, she stopped immediately: "There's movement!"

Kailin quickly took out her two guns and assumed a fighting stance. Three skeleton beasts were wreaking havoc in the city ahead. The soldiers defending the city would cover the retreat of civilians. She wanted to rush forward together, but was blocked by dozens of mutants under her command.

"There are monsters here?" Kailin exclaimed as she stood there holding two guns.

Mo Yan folded his arms, "Most likely, his followers infiltrated the city and arranged this."

"Then let's go help!"

"Is it possible? The Skeleton Crystal Beast is not easy to deal with." He turned around and asked.

"What? Do you look down on me?" Karen turned around and asked.

"That's not true."

"What else is there to say? Let's go together!"

Before Kailin could finish her words, she rushed out like an arrow. In the moonlight, her twin guns shone with a dazzling silver light, and the bullets accurately pierced the eye socket of a skeleton beast.

Mo Yan unsheathed his sword, its tip flashing with a cold gleam, severing the charging mutant in half. Rancid liquid splattered on the bluestone, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound.

The Crystal Crocodile let out a piercing roar. After being struck in the head by Kailin's bullet, its massive body staggered, but it didn't collapse. Instead, it became even more ferocious. Its bones glowed an eerie blue in the moonlight, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Tsk, it's not that easy to solve!" Kailin quickly retreated and rolled to avoid the sweeping claws of the crystal tiger.

"Then just chop it into pieces!"

Mo Yan shouted angrily, and the sword blade flashed with cold light and cut through the sky, cutting off the crystal snake's head with just one sword.

Seeing this, the remaining two skeleton crystal beasts immediately changed direction and surrounded the two people from the left and right.

"Leave the left to me!"

The corners of Kailin's mouth curled up, and the two guns spun rapidly in her palms. The next second, a blood-red bullet shot out from the gun barrel and instantly penetrated the crystal crocodile's eyebrows.

The crystal crocodile was shot and fell to the ground. The wound showed signs of healing, but the next second, countless blood-red spikes burst out from its body, like blooming blood-red thorns, completely crushing it into crystal chips.

"Well done! Now it's my turn!"

At the same time, Mo Yan's body moved like lightning, his sword tip wrapped in a sharp sword energy, and he went straight for the last skeleton crystal beast. As the monster raised its claws, the cold light pierced its throat. With a sharp twist of Mo Yan's wrist, the crystal tiger was instantly split in two, without even a scream.

"Huh, that's pretty easy. Much easier to deal with than those in the forest before." Karen blew away the non-existent gun smoke from the muzzle and smiled.

"Of course, don't you see how many there were back then?" Mo Yan said, folding his arms. "Speaking of which, could it be that the bullets just now were infused with the power of the Blood Princess's Voucher..."

"Hehe, you figured it out." Kailin replied with a chuckle, "I have Xuanxuan to thank for this. She inspired me to use her staff to fuse the Guardian Certificate, so I decided to give it a try."

At this moment, the soldiers who had been fighting the monsters gathered around them. The leading captain saluted and said, "Thank you both for your help. We don't know where these monsters came from. They appeared as soon as the alarm bell sounded. We were caught off guard and that's why we were caught off guard."
