With endless expectations for the future, the lady left humming a tune, and the tune sounded very much like what the Bards of Mondstadt liked to sing.
……
Shortly after the lady left, the fools who brought the blood branch coral arrived. After seeing that there were no more surprises, Xinhai asked Yi Yan with a look of disbelief: "Yi Yan, do you really plan to give General Thunder and Lightning's God's Heart to the Fools?"
"Who said I was going to give Shadow's God's Heart to the Fools?" Yi Yan waved his hand, he would not use other people's things to promise it in the first place.
Xinhai was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She looked down at the embers, which Inazuma called extremely strange, and she came to some sense.
Xin Hai also heard about what happened at "Narukami Taisha Shrine". Only other gods can defeat one god.
"Isn't it even more unworthy to use your own? Although I don't know much about things at the level of gods, but the heart of gods is an extremely important thing no matter how you think about it, right?"
Before Yi Yan could respond, Xinhai started talking to himself again: "Actually, if you want to weaken the dragon lizard, you don't necessarily need to use blood branch coral. There are many ways to do it without paying such a high price."
"You are overthinking, I don't have the heart of God."
"..."
Xinhai was silent for a while, and then looked unbelieving.
"Then why did you agree so readily? Could it be that... you want to defraud the Fatui?!"
A glimmer of realization flashed across Xin Hai's eyes. She felt that she was probably 80% close to the truth. This idea of deceiving the fools was a very good one.
"Okay, no need to guess. I have my own way to satisfy the fools' demands." Yi Jin saw that Xin Hai had been guessing for a long time but couldn't get the idea right, so he waved to her and told her not to waste her brain cells.
Walking to the blood branch coral on the ground, Yi Yan picked up the blood-stained basket in front of him.
Threads of thick blood fell to the ground along the body of the ember. The elemental power in the blood was extremely strong, and it did not look human at first glance.
"Are you really going to use the blood branch coral to deal with the dragon lizard?" Xinhai saw the bright red color at the broken part of the blood branch coral and took a few steps back in disgust.
She was extremely confused at the moment. The sacrifices of the resurrecting ceremony were horrific things grown from the flesh of dragon lizards, which made Xinhai hate such things from the bottom of his heart.
However, without a resurrecting ceremony, the trend of Kaiji Island becoming a holy land is unavoidable.
As a living goddess and miko, Xinhai understands that she cannot do things solely based on her preferences.
But I just don’t know if the [energy] in my “Secret Note” will become a negative number after I personally host a resurrecting ceremony?
"What do you think? I am such a wicked person when I use things that grow from my companions' corpses to deal with others?" Yu Yan looked back at Xinhai, and then took the blood branch coral on his shoulder back into his body.
"呲-"
The temperature rose, and the smell of blood filled the air. After cleaning up the blood stains on his body, Yi Yan continued: "This thing is used to increase the favorability point. You have almost reduced the favorability of the dragon lizard to a negative number. How can you not increase it?"
In fact, Yu Yan felt that the dragon lizard's favorable impression of humans was already negative, so he used "Du Kuai" to give Xin Hai some face.
"Who would have thought that Blood Branch Coral grew like this?" Xinhai was also a little embarrassed.
No matter how vague the ancient books are, it cannot change the established facts. Once something that has been hidden for a long time is dug out, the time it spent buried underground will turn into infinite power, allowing those buried deep to fly to the sky.
As a half-buried person, Xinhai now feels that he is showing signs of taking off.
If he couldn't find other ways to alleviate the transformation into holy soil, Xinhai would really have to hold back the nausea in his heart and use the blood branch coral to perform a rejuvenation ceremony.
Thinking of this, Xinhai couldn't help but raise his head and look at the embers.
"Ember, about the dragon lizard, without the blood branch coral..."
"Don't worry about this, I have plenty of ways." Yu Yan shook his head to tell Xinhai not to worry.
Originally, he thought that using methods from other worlds would be somewhat unkind to dragon lizards, which are native creatures.
But now, it’s not necessary.
Ember shook his head with some emotion. Then there were a series of shaking purple round pots in his hand.
The purple pot body is engraved with soft and complex lines, which makes people feel sleepy at first sight.
The mouth of the pot is covered with hemp paper wrapped with hemp rope, and the faint purple smoke seeps out from the hemp paper, giving people a hazy feeling as if they are in a dream.
"This...this thing..."
Xinhai took a few steps back and shook her head violently, trying to get rid of the heavy weight in her mind.
But whenever she wakes up a little, heaviness immediately pours into her mind, occupying all the vacant spaces.
This feeling is like being in the deep sea. Every gap was filled with seawater, but it was no longer the body that sank into the deep sea, but the head.
"Actually, I didn't want to be so cheating, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so I had to do this."
Yan Yan picked up the hemp rope on the sleeping pot and swung it around twice.
It is indeed something that can make demigods sleep soundly, but it is still full of energy here!
Chapter 571: Rub rub in the dark

Swinging the hemp rope hanging from the sleeping pot along the way, the embers slowly wandered into the camp.
It only took him a day or two to go back and forth, so it was obvious that many people in the camp were still carrying big pig heads.
"Wow! What is this thing? It's so beautiful!" Paimon, who had also just ran back from outside, saw the purple color shaking in Ember's hand, and his eyes immediately lit up.
As for why Paimon became like this, the reason is simple - the sleeping pot in Ember's hand is so beautiful.
The flowing cloud-like texture, combined with the faint purple revealed from the pot body, looks like a purple luminous pearl.
"Is it beautiful?" Yi Yan picked up the hypnotic pot that was strung together in his hand and looked at it. To be honest, he felt that the hypnotic pot was no different from other pots.
But considering that this thing was created by Tolina, and Tolina is in the form of Mikaela's Xiao Nanliang, Yu Ember thinks that this thing should be pretty good.
"Here you go." Ember threw the sleeping pot in his hand to Paimon. The strung together sleeping pot was put around Paimon's neck, causing the latter to almost be pressed to the ground.
"So generous? Ha--, strange, why are you a little sleepy? Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
Paimon played with the hypnotic pot around her neck. After a while, a sudden sleepiness swept through her mind.
But soon Ember's words made Paimon no longer sleepy.
"Now that you have taken my things, the job of hypnotizing the dragon lizards is up to you. Don't let me down, Paimon!"
In a daze, Paimon heard the dragon lizard and herself, which made her originally sleepy eyes immediately widen:
"What? Let me face the dragon lizard?"
Paimon turned around and took off the sleeping pot from around her neck, throwing it back to the embers.
"I don't want your things anymore!"
Paimon folded her arms and snorted. She now felt that these purple balls were not so fun anymore.
"Actually, if you were to throw it down from the sky, I don't think the dragon lizard would be able to hit you."
"That won't work either, I've hit you before!"
Paimon was indifferent, but Ying beside her saw the hypnotic pot in Ember's hand, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Senior, is this how Haiji Island deals with dragon lizards?"
"That's not true. I figured this out myself." Yu Yan shook his head. The Blood Branch Coral was too cruel, and he was afraid that if he wasn't careful, the dragon lizards would be sucked into mummies.
Therefore, the hypnotic pot is still easy to use. As long as there is a "pop", no matter who it is, everyone will lie on the ground.
"Senior, I heard you mean... do you want to go down again?"
Ember nodded to Ying, and then he heard a sudden noise in the camp.
"Ouch..., it hurts!"
"My legs won't be able to walk for a hundred days."
"This...where is this? My eyes are swollen and I can't see."
……
The exaggerated screams directly amused Yi Yan. He looked at the "wailing" soldiers near the camp. They were indeed injured, but they were definitely not howling so outrageously.
After all, no matter what, when they were unilaterally ravaged by the dragon lizard, Ember was watching from the side.
Squatting down, Yi Yan put two fingers on his forehead.
"Boom-"
A faint golden light spread out with him as the center of the circle. These lights intertwined into the lines of the big trees on the ground. As soon as the lines came into contact with the people in the camp, they climbed up.
The light turns into another heart in people's bodies, constantly pumping out vitality to every part of the body.
"How's it going? Is the injury healed?" Yi Yan stood up. After the grace and blessing, all the "pig heads" in the camp suddenly disappeared.
It looks much more pleasing to the eye now than before.
"Okay, now who's going to say that there's something wrong with your legs and feet? Come out and I'll give you a new one!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the camp, followed by a burst of ridicule.
"Haha, Lord Yu Jin, you must be joking. My legs and feet are very nimble!"
"That's right, jumping three feet high is no problem at all!"
"Now I can't wait to kick the flying dragon lizards and let them see how powerful humans are!"
The soldiers danced on the spot one by one, trying their best to show off their flexible bodies, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be caught by the ember and "treated".
"That's pretty much it." Yi Jin nodded with satisfaction when he saw the soldiers were in full swing.
Grace and blessing are easy to use!
After the crowd in the camp was noisy for a while, Yi Yan pressed his hands on everyone. He cleared his throat and faced the confused eyes below and said:
"Go and get ready. Tomorrow we will fight the dragon lizard three times!"
"Huh? Still fighting? Do you think our little arms and legs can't twist the dragon lizards?"
As soon as Yi Yan finished speaking, the soldiers below started wailing. They showed their "thin" arms to Ember, hoping that Ember would realize the difference between humans and dragon lizards.
Among them, there was even a clever little ghost who made a suggestion: "Lord Ember, why don't you go fight the dragon lizard. With your strength, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!"
"Well said!"
"Ouch!"
Yan Yan picked up the stones on the ground and threw them over, immediately smashing a big red bump on the man's forehead.
"If I take action, who will embody your will and spirit?"
