Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 304: Sand Scorpion Chapter (5)

"What do you want to do?" Kailin asked as she took out her weapon.

Scarface smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't do anything to you. We just want to borrow your lives so that we can have a good chat with the guards here."

"Ah?" Kailin was stunned.

Negotiating with Sister Yang? Doesn't this mean he's being held hostage?

Before he could think about it, Mo Yan said, "Don't even think about it!"

"Hmph, that's not up to you!" Scarface smiled slightly, and in the blink of an eye he flashed to the two of them.

Mo Yan, Kailin had no time to react. She looked at the man and was about to pick up her weapon when she felt a sharp pain and fainted.

thump!

"Hehe, this anesthetic is quite effective." Scarface smiled, with two blood-stained needles in his hand.

Seeing this, Shanlin immediately walked over to him and said, "Well, now that the mission is accomplished, take them away quickly. Otherwise, when the forest rangers arrive, none of us will be able to escape."

As soon as the words fell, a noisy sound came from not far away.

Scarface nodded, then ordered his men to take the unconscious Kailin and Mo Yan away from this noisy place.

When the rangers rushed to the scene, they found the once bustling street in chaos. The ground was covered in messy footprints, crisscrossing and revealing the chaotic scene that had occurred not long ago.

Street stalls were toppled, their goods scattered everywhere. Fruit rolled in the mud and was trampled to pieces. Some junk boxes were overturned, and all kinds of broken items were scattered on the ground. The doors of the surrounding shops were half-closed, and the windows were broken, revealing the mess inside.

They looked around with serious expressions.

One of the yellow-haired men, who was carrying a large knife, shouted, "Look around and see if there are any clues!"

"Yes!"

……

Meanwhile, in Yang's castle.

Lan came into the hall with a serious expression, while Yang stood in front of the window and looked into the distance silently.

"Is everything done?" she asked gently, turning her head.

Lan nodded. "Well, that group has already determined that those guests are your best friends, sir."

"Really?" Yang turned to look out the window again. "I feel bad for them, but to get the fish to bite, this is the only way."

Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but is this inappropriate? After all, they are your friends, or are you simply..."

Yang turned around and said, "Of course they are my friends. Even though it hasn't been long, the feeling won't lie."

"Then why do you still want to... when there are obviously better options."

"Indeed, there might be better ways to subdue those rebels, but we can't afford to wait," Yang replied. "You should also know that I've been extremely busy these past few days because of this matter, but those guys have also been extremely worried. If we continue to put pressure on them, once they become desperate, the consequences will be difficult for us to control."

"That's why adults deliberately reveal the flaws..."

Yang nodded. "That's right. The best way to stop someone is to use the people around him as an excuse, because emotions are the most fragile and the most deadly."

She looked out the window at the street again. Previously, some people had pretended to be vagrants passing by, lingering around her house, just to monitor her every move so they could take advantage of her. Now, the only people she had close to her and who were easy targets were Mo Yan, Kailin, and the others.

"So as long as we make enough efforts in this matter, they will definitely take the risk."

"But if that's the case, wouldn't their situation be too dangerous? You know, those guys are desperate criminals now. If they are forced into a corner..." Lan said worriedly.

Before Ran could finish, Yang spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, since those guys want to use them to negotiate with me, there shouldn't be any danger in the short term. Of course, it depends on whether they will do anything stupid."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the room again. Yang subconsciously looked at the door and found that it was You Long who came back from outside.

"Sir." Youlong just opened his mouth.

"Have they taken action?" Yang asked.

"Well, Luo Hui, the chief of the Xicun tribe, reported that at noon, Mr. Mo Yan and Ms. Kailin were kidnapped by a mysterious figure who suddenly appeared."

Yang frowned slightly: "Sure enough, you took the bait. Did you do everything I asked you to do?"

You Long nodded and said, "I secretly sent my men to follow them and discovered that the group had left the rain forest and entered the desert."

At this time, Lan exclaimed: "The desert? No wonder we couldn't find their hiding place before. It turns out they hid there."

Yang folded his arms and said, "This isn't surprising. The most dangerous place is the safest. But choosing the desert as a campsite is truly incredible. They've come up with something like putting the cart before the horse."

After she finished speaking, she brushed past Lan and headed towards the door. At this moment, You Long asked again, "Sir, do you want it now?"

Yang nodded, "Yeah."

Hearing this, Lan immediately turned around and said worriedly, "How can this be possible? At least we have to send someone to ensure your safety first."

You Long nodded, then took two steps forward and said, "That's right, I can't let you go alone no matter what."

Yang sneered after hearing this: "Oh, forget it. Too many people and too big a target can easily lead to trouble. Besides, do you think they can do anything to me with their strength?"

"Then at least we have to arrange for someone to pick us up. If the plan changes, we can help." Youlong said.

"It's up to you, but you must not let anyone find out." Yang snorted coldly, then walked out the door without looking back.

You Long and Lan nodded to each other and began to prepare.

Walking out of the rainforest, Yang rode a giant sand scorpion alone towards the desert. Relying on the marks left by You Long's subordinates, he quickly found the camp of the rebels.

She rode a giant scorpion to a higher valley, followed the sand wall to the top of the mountain, and from her vantage point, she could see everything.

The camp was set up in a deserted village with no one around. It was surrounded by a fence and looked like a simple mountain stronghold. Patrolmen were standing around the stronghold. The house behind them was dilapidated, but it was connected to other rooms with new mud tiles, making it look like a connected military camp.

Yang looked around again. The ground was covered with yellow sand and surrounded by a high earth wall. From a high vantage point, it looked like a maze, with many dry thorns tied around it.

Humph, such a mediocre and inconspicuous setting, no wonder my subordinates didn't notice it before, but...

She looked away again, into the distance, three hundred miles away, where yellow sand filled the sky as if a storm was coming.

"A sandstorm? It's happening at this time. But at this distance, we should have some time. Let's rescue them first."
