Su Yuan and Zhongli immediately followed this group of Millelith soldiers to the battlefield outside Liyue Harbor...
No one had expected that the Geovishaps, which had already been repelled, would launch another attack in such a short time.
All the Millelith soldiers were caught off guard...
The battlefield was in complete chaos.
Many Millelith soldiers were bleeding and injured, being carried off the front lines on stretchers...
Some of the Millelith even had white cloths draped over them—cloths that had already been soaked in blood...
Seeing this scene, Su Yuan felt a deep unease in his heart.
This sudden wave of Geovishaps had once again caused many Millelith soldiers to be wounded, or even sacrifice their lives...
Without any hesitation or delay, Su Yuan rushed straight to the center of the battlefield, feeling the Geo elemental power within his body erupt outward toward all sides of the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Stop!!"
Upon hearing this furious roar, all the Geovishaps ceased their attacks and turned toward Su Yuan's direction, then began to retreat one after another...
As he watched the retreating Geovishaps, a thought couldn't help but arise in Su Yuan's mind...
Although it seemed easy for him to repel the Geovishaps, if they were to attack Liyue Harbor every single day, wouldn't that mean he'd be stuck here, unable to leave?
He would have to remain in Liyue Harbor to face the threat of the Geovishaps tides that could strike at any moment...
Wouldn't that be a way to tie him down, preventing him from leaving Liyue Harbor to do other things?
As expected, the saying goes: "To shoot the rider, shoot the horse first; to catch the thief, capture the leader."
Only by dealing with the source behind the Geovishaps tides attacking Liyue Harbor — that is, the Primo Geovishap corrupted and controlled by a eerie force— could this crisis truly be resolved...
"Mr. Su Yuan, thank you once again for taking action and repelling the Geovishaps tide to protect Liyue Harbor..."
Just then, a Millelith squad leader stepped forward and expressed his gratitude to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan looked at the squad leader and asked, "How are the casualties among the Millelith soldiers?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Su Yuan…"
Seeing that Su Yuan was concerned about the safety of the Millelith soldiers, the squad leader's face showed a deeply moved expression:
"As of now, a total of eight Millelith soldiers have bravely sacrificed their lives… Another twelve are in critical condition with severe injuries... Additionally, more than thirty others have sustained varying degrees of injuries, but fortunately, none of them are in life-threatening condition…"
"Mm, I understand." Su Yuan nodded, patted the squad leader on the shoulder, and said,
"They are all heroes of Liyue Harbor. Make sure their affairs are handled properly—don't let their families and children be neglected…"
After that, Su Yuan walked over to Zhongli's side and said to him:
"Zhongli, I think this tide of Geovishaps is deliberately targeting me—trying to keep me trapped here in Liyue Harbor, unable to leave…"
"We're supposed to confront Cloud Retainer at Mt. Aocang tomorrow. So today, we must resolve this Geovishaps issue first, or we won't be able to head to Mt. Aocang with peace of mind…"
"If I'm remembering correctly, the Primo Geovishap lair is in an underground cave somewhere between Tianqiu Valley and Nantianmen, right?"
"If we head there now, do you think we can find it?"
"We should be able to." Zhongli nodded and replied,
"Creatures of that level tend to have a strong territorial instinct. They usually won't leave their domain easily…"
"Su Yuan, are you heading out to subjugate the Primo Geovishap now?!"
Just then, Tartaglia's voice echoed in Su Yuan's mind:
"When the time comes, leave your body to me—I'll take over and handle the fight!"
"Last time, the fight between me and the Primo Geovishap wasn't even finished before it slipped away!!!"
"This time, the monk might run, but the temple won't! The lizard might flee, but its lair won't!!!"
"Alright then, Tartaglia—when the time comes, I'll leave the battle against the eerie Primo Geovishap to you..."
Su Yuan responded to Tartaglia.
.............
After a long and arduous journey, Su Yuan and Zhongli arrived at the Primo Geovishap's lair in the afternoon...
Su Yuan peered down through the entrance of the lair — the Primo Geovishap was lying inside, asleep, behaving much like it did in the game...
However, now the lair was filled with pitch-black and blood-red liquid, and an overwhelming, ominous aura of eerie power pervaded the entire space...
"Judging by the current situation, it's likely that the Primo Geovishap's lair was corrupted by the eerie force first, and the dragon lizard itself was affected afterward…" Zhongli remarked thoughtfully.
"I don't think we should fight it inside the lair. That dense aura of eerie power might enhance the Primo Geovishap's strength…"
But before Zhongli could even finish his sentence, Tartaglia had already taken control of Su Yuan's body—fully activating his Foul Legacy transformation—and charged straight down into the lair!
"Zhongli! It's precisely because it's difficult, precisely because it's empowered, that it's more thrilling—more of a real challenge!"
"Doesn't a powerful foe like this make you burn with the desire to conquer it?"
"This time, I'll make the Primo Geovishap admit defeat—utterly and completely!"
Zhongli watched the scene unfold, unsure of what to say:
"…Very well. I understand. Just be careful."
Whether it sensed an imminent threat, or it was stirred awake by Tartaglia's intense fighting spirit, the Primo Geovishap opened its eyes from slumber, stood up, and let out a furious roar as it gazed at the descending Foul Legacy form—
The battle was about to erupt at any moment!
Even though Su Yuan was being controlled by Tartaglia, he could still clearly feel everything—their senses were synchronized.
He could fully perceive Tartaglia's martial prowess and skill, as well as how the Foul Legacy transformation operated…
It felt just like back in Inazuma, when Raiden Ei had temporarily possessed his body—Su Yuan felt as though he could use Tartaglia's techniques and wield his Foul Legacy form as if it were his own…
But Su Yuan knew this feeling would only be temporary.
Once Tartaglia left his body—he would no longer be able to fight like this.
Su Yuan could clearly feel that—
Even though the Primo Geovishap was currently within an area that favored it,
It was, in the end, just a monster controlled by eerie power—mindless, acting purely on battle instinct…
These monsters didn't truly understand how to wield eerie power.
Even the most basic use of it—like suppressing an opponent's movements—they didn't know how to apply…
Faced with this kind of brute-force-only enemy, Su Yuan suddenly felt that it wasn't all that hard to deal with.
It even gave him the illusion that he himself could handle it alone…
As expected, the most terrifying thing is never a brainless, muscle-bound monster—
But the human heart.
