Genshin Impact: I'm The Envoy of Snezhnaya-Chapter 109: Heartfire of the Earth
Chapter 109 - 109: Heartfire of the Earth
In the outskirts of Lisha, within a small grove of trees.
A mischievous golden finch was pecking at seeds hidden in the grass, occasionally raising its head to keep a wary eye on its surroundings. After all, hidden foxes and other carnivorous creatures would be more than happy to make a meal out of it.
No matter how small, a bird is still meat.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar presence startled the golden finch, making it flap its wings and take flight. With lingering fear, it looked back at the spot where it had just been foraging—two humans had appeared there, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Perched on a tree branch, the finch let out a series of aggressive chirps—words incomprehensible to humans—before flapping its wings, preparing to find another "buffet" spot.
Unfortunately... the fox that had been crouching in the tree for a long time had no intention of letting it escape.
The branches shook. The golden finch was gone. All that remained was a fox licking its lips. It glanced at the humans below before slowly vanishing into the forest.
Placing down the small girl he had been carrying by the collar, Bai Luo let out a long breath.
He had been startled when Zhongli finally deduced his identity, though he wasn't entirely surprised.
After all, Zhongli wasn't just anyone—he's a god who had lived for thousands of years. Without intelligence, how could he have dominated the competition and claimed such vast territory? Strength was important, but a keen mind was just as essential.
"Here, I got the thing for you."
Taking out the Juvenile Jade he had collected earlier, Bai Luo handed it to little Qiqi.
This rare material typically grew in only two places on an Ancient Geovishap—one on its dorsal fin, and the other within its body, gradually replacing its heart.
Only in extremely rare cases would there be a third Juvenile Jade, and Ancient Geovishaps with three were usually the strongest of their kind.
After Bai Luo slew this one, another Geovishap would soon inherit the remnants of its power left in the ley lines and evolve into the new Ancient Geovishap.
However, unlike the abundant young Geovishaps and mature ones, there could only ever be one Ancient Geovishap—just as a wolf pack could have only one alpha.
The selection of the new Ancient Geovishap was an internal matter for their kind.
Setting that aside, Bai Luo's long-silent system finally showed some activity again.
For the past few days, he had seemed to wander aimlessly, but in reality, whether visiting Wanmin Restaurant or roaming the wilderness, he had been deliberately seeking places with connections to the gods.
For example, the so-called pet at Wanmin Restaurant—Guoba—was actually the legendary Stove God, Marchosius. Yet, after coming into contact with it, Bai Luo's system remained unresponsive.
However, after trekking through the towering mountains of Jueyun Karst with Qiqi, his long-dormant system seemed to have gone haywire, occasionally chiming as if to alert him—though it provided no actual notifications.
That was why he had stayed near Qiqi these past few days, hoping that this little girl—who had survived the war between gods and immortals—might trigger some sort of change in his system.
Unexpectedly, the following days remained uneventful. But after his fierce battle with the Ancient Geovishap, his seemingly broken system finally responded.
[Achievement Unlocked: Killing the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs]
[Reward Received: Lord Grim. Ye Xiu's Myriad Manifestation Umbrella (Weapon Skin)]
[Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella (Weapon Skin)]:
"If you enjoy this, then treat it as glory, not mere showmanship."
Unique Effect – Myriad Manifestations Umbrella: Can freely switch between all weapons of owned Classes, but only benefits from weapon attributes, not Classes bonuses. (Cooldown: 3 seconds)
Unique Effect – Plum Blossom Fragrance in the Rain: Can transform the weapon into an umbrella. While its attack power is lacking, perhaps it can shield against the wind and rain?
Examining the new weapon skin's effects, Bai Luo drew the dagger from his waist.
The dagger elongated and reshaped, gradually forming a sleek, razor-sharp katana. However, its blade was reversed—it was a Reverse Blade Sword, a Reverse Blade Sword.
With the Reverse Blade Sword in hand, Bai Luo felt a disconnect. He still knew how to use the weapon, but it didn't feel as natural as when he wielded a blade in his Battousai state.
The same thing happened when switching to Battousai with the dagger—he knew where the steel wire mechanisms were and how to use them, but they weren't as smooth as when he was in his Hei form.
So this was what it meant to "only enjoy weapon attributes without Classes bonuses." He wondered, though—could Hei still stab people with a Reverse Blade Sword?
After testing the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, Bai Luo activated Plum Blossom Fragrance in the Rain.
The Reverse Blade Sword softened and reshaped into a red oil-paper umbrella. It looked no different from the ones sold at Feiyun Commerce Guild, except for a faint plum blossom scent and a slightly aged appearance, making one doubt whether it could even withstand the wind and rain.
Bai Luo experimented further—the transition between the umbrella and other weapons was seamless, but switching again required a three-second cooldown.
Stylish for casual use, sure. But in battle? Playing around like this would likely get him killed.
Three seconds was long enough for Raiden Shogun to land several slashes or for Rex Lapis to drop a few meteors on his head.
The oil-paper umbrella shifted back into a dagger, which Bai Luo returned to his waist.
Then, he looked at his second reward.
That's right—this time, it was a double drop. Another achievement, another shock.
[Achievement Unlocked: So This Is a Utility Build? (First time using an active equipment)]
[Reward Acquired: Heartfire of the Earth (Active Equipment)]
[Heartfire of the Earth (Active)]:
"The wrath of the earth can incinerate all."
(Note: Do not use in forests. One spark on the mountain, and you'll end up behind bars down below.)
Unique Active: Condenses fire from the Earth's core, summoning magma at the target location. After 1 second, the fire erupts, dealing 15% of max HP as Pyro damage to all entities in range and causing a knock-up effect. (Cooldown: 90 seconds)
If Bai Luo had a cigarette on hand, he might have tried using Heartfire of the Earth to light it.
His dream was to become a legendary swordsman, assassin, wanderer, and hunter.
Yet, this damn system was forcing him to be some one-trick gimmick player with zero enjoyment.
He was almost certain that if he got another equipment drop, it would either be an electric trap or a Guinsoo's Rageblade.
There was no way he'd ever get something like Three Sacred Treasures or Tessaiga, let alone an actual high-damage weapon.
—Wait.
Would this cursed system actually give him Heaven's Punishment next time?
Sigh... Life is unpredictable, like a sausage wrapped in a bigger intestine.
