People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 156: The Power of Rock, Fully Unlocked! (Try 6000 words)
Qingxupu is located at the southernmost tip of Liyue.

As a ruin left over from ancient times, the terrain itself is very open.

As the shadow of the rock moves away,

The midday sun shone brightly on Xingqiu and Chongyun.

But even so, the two still felt a chill that penetrated their bones.

".What should I do? This thing seems to be the remnant of the demon god mentioned in ancient books."

"In my family's secret book of demon-conquering, this is an opponent that only the legendary demon-conquering great sage can handle. It seems that the two of us cannot handle it."

Once again feeling that completely incomparable sense of oppression from the enemy, Chongyun's face turned bitter, and he recalled the previous experience of being tied up like a dumpling.

Although it is true that I hope to see the evil spirits, it doesn't have to be so difficult right from the start, right?
Recalling the various disasters caused by the remnants of the demon in the family records, he had little confidence that he could fight against the ferocious beast in front of him, which looked very powerful at first glance.

"At this point, there is only one plan to deal with the enemy."

Xingqiu's face was calm and his tone was steady.

"I knew you were reliable, Xingqiu! Tell me, what is it?"

Chongyun, who was originally a little flustered, felt relieved when he saw his best friend so calm. He quickly asked while the ferocious beast was still in chaos.

Xingqiu, who was regarded as a savior, did not tell his "clever plan" upon hearing this, but instead pulled his friend and quietly moved back two steps.

After discovering that although the remnants of the demon god did not attack, its scarlet eyes were still staring at the two of them, with no sign of letting them run away.

The boy sighed.

Xingqiu activated the Eye of God instantly, pulled up Chongyun's sleeve, and jumped back decisively.

He took out a few spherical props from his robe that he had customized from a craftsman without telling his family, and threw them directly at the two men's feet.

"boom!"

Following a few soft sounds, a cloud of smoke mixed with the scent of various elements spread out.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Chongyun was still dragged away by Xingqiu and tried to escape. During his escape, he finally heard his best friend's "plan" from his best friend's mouth.

"——What else can I do? This thing looks extremely dangerous!"

"We can't win the fight, and there's no point in staying here to serve as food reserves for the enemy. So of course we can only run away!!!"

Xingqiu grabbed the stubborn Chongyun, and used the secret method of traveling that he had learned in the Guhua School to run as fast as he could, fearing that his friend would want to go back and fight that brainless thing.

It’s true that he wants to be a hero, but when the heroes in the novels encounter a peerless demon, don’t they always retreat first and make long-term plans?

Xingqiu was not completely ignorant of this kind of enemy. Having read a wide variety of books since childhood, he knew that even the remnants of the demon gods had different strengths.

If it is the kind of debris that is so broken that it cannot be broken any further and can only cling to animals, it doesn't matter. In the various books in his family, there have been cases of people being defeated by mortals. You can try to put it together.

But this large fragment can condense itself into a form and even have a certain consciousness.
——Even if there were two more of them, they could only fill the other party’s stomach.

Fortunately, after the last accident, I prepared a lot of small props for escape.
Take advantage of the enemy's vision being blocked by smoke.

Xingqiu pulled Chongyun and began to flee to the south side of Qingxupu, away from the ordinary people.

"Huff, huff—"

On the flat wasteland of Qingxupu, two figures were running as fast as they could.

The rapid and heavy breathing sound echoed in the mountains and forests, mixing with the sound of the wind in the ears.

While running at a very fast speed, Chongyun's suppressed blood began to surge, and his entire skin turned a faint red.

Xingqiu, who was standing aside, had a worried look on his face, and was rapidly thinking of ways to escape from the current predicament.

What to do? Chongyun's pure Yang body was about to be unable to suppress it. When the blood rushed to his head, he might turn back directly and fight the remnants of the demon god head-on, and then become the opponent's snack.

Because there were too many ordinary people eating Tiger Rock, it was impossible for them to turn around and escape in the direction of Liyue Harbor. Otherwise, if the remnants of the demon god came into contact with the city, it would inevitably cause irreparable damage. Even if the two of them were caught up by this guy, it would be much better than that result.

Cool down and escape to cover your sight.

Xingqiu was thinking about his own needs, and when he heard the faint sound of flowing water, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Once again, he narrowly avoided the demon remnant that was playing tricks on them.

He threw out the last few "obstacle pills" that he had made according to the secret manual of the Guhua School, turned around, and fled straight towards the direction of the waterfall recorded on the map.

At the same time, in the cave on the south side of Qingxupu,

A young man in exquisite robes sat on a high platform made of rocks.
Surrounded by emerald green and golden light, an indescribable sense of dignity permeated around him.

A long, gray and white creature beside him lay limply on the ground and yawned with boredom.

Suddenly, the little guy raised his head and looked towards the north side of the cave, as if he had discovered something interesting through the mountain wall.

It was tempted to run over and take a look, but then it remembered the previous instruction "Don't run around", and finally lay back down obediently.

at this time.

The young man's power of rock element, which had always been weaker than the emerald green light, seemed to have finally been completed and quickly reached a balance with the other kind of power.

The power released in an instant also gave birth to clusters of extremely pure rock element flowers beside Lin Feng. Looking closely, there seemed to be plant characteristics such as leaves and roots.

"call--"

"Finally it's done."

"Speaking of which, if I want to gather all seven powers without being thrown out of the world, do I have to do something big to the residents of the entire Teyvat continent?"

Thinking about the repulsive force that was once again suppressed by the people's faith when he fully activated his authority just now, Lin Feng felt that he should also consider how to make some big things happen outside of Xumi.

Even though he was expelled, it is not impossible to return. He and other gods should have solutions.

But no matter what, as long as you leave your own footprints in the world and plant a deep enough impression on others.

While strengthening one's strength, one can offset the influence of the world's laws and the abyss on oneself. This power derived from cognition is undoubtedly quite useful.

As a pragmatist, Lin Feng would naturally not ignore this extremely cost-effective popular route in addition to strengthening himself.

Because the two powers were completely activated, the resulting world rejection was also much stronger.

He thought that in the near future, he would do well to consider how to make some big moves in other countries without affecting Xumi's diplomatic relations.

——Use the authority of rock and grass attributes to help with infrastructure construction at the request of the other party’s gods?

It doesn't seem to work?
Shaking his head, Lin Feng felt that it would be better not to think so far ahead until he had completed the infrastructure of Xumi.

After stretching his body, he planned to find a target nearby to practice on.

After all, there isn't much else in Qingxupu, but there are a lot of hillbillies and treasure-stealing groups.

But who would have thought that with just a casual glance, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised to find two "familiar faces".

——It was okay last time in Guiliyuan, but this time I ran to such a remote place, how come you two still showed up when I activated my authority?

Noticing the twisted black air behind them, the corners of his mouth twitched and he mourned for the luck of these two guys for three seconds.

Tucao returns to Tucao.

This scene did not exist in the original plot of Xingqiu and Chongyun. This group of demon remnants was completely beyond their ability to deal with, and it was obviously caused by an unconscious change they made somewhere.

With the idea of ​​contacting Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and helping Lan Lana find friends, Lin Feng did not choose to send power remotely, but flashed and went to the two people who were in desperate situation in person.

Under the waterfall near the Qingxupu ruins,
Xingqiu and Chongyun hid in a cave behind the water flow, and even slowed down their breathing as much as possible.

No wonder they are so cautious.

Outside the cave, the ferocious beast transformed from the remnants of the demon was seen wandering in the open space in front of the waterfall.

The human and beast limbs on the monster kept twitching and twisting, and from time to time they would wave them towards where the two were hiding. This was a terrifying scene, and made Xingqiu and Chongyun, who chose to hide, feel nervous.

The water falls from a great height and hits the rocks below the cliff, making an irritating roar.

Some splashing water droplets hit their necks, and the coldness made their pupils shrink.

In such a depressing atmosphere, the monster finally seemed to get bored and disappeared from their sight.

Fearing that the other party might have made a feint, Xingqiu and Chongyun remained where they were, without moving, until a few minutes later, when they saw that the other party had not returned.

Xingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted Chongyun's hand on his left shoulder, and said:
"Huh, they finally left. I almost thought we were both going to die here. This monster is really good at chasing. If he didn't want to play with us, we might have been caught up from the beginning."

"After I return from this trip, I will definitely make more 'Breakage Pills'. This little gadget recorded in the Guhua Sect's miscellaneous books can interfere with the elements, smells, and vision at the same time. It is perfect for escaping."

"Chongyun, do you want to come too?"

Xingqiu stretched and felt the hand on his shoulder was motionless and a little cold.

"Xingqiu, behind you."

Chongyun's trembling voice came from his right, as if he wanted to remind him of something, but was afraid of disturbing something.

"What's wrong? Aren't you behind me? Why are your hands so cold? Are you scared?"

Having said this, Xingqiu's voice stopped as if it was stuck.

Yes, Chongyun is on my right, so whose hand is on my left shoulder? Glancing at it from the corner of his eye, Xingqiu was horrified to find that it was not Chongyun's hand at all, but a dark and twisted stump that exuded an ominous aura.

"."

"."

".Please apologize to my elder brother for me. Also, please help me clean up the books in the warehouse in the northwest corner of Qingce Manor. You can even burn them directly."

Xingqiu felt that the remnants of the demon god were so close to him that he had nowhere to escape, so he decisively gave his last words.

Then he planned to use the secret method of the Guhua Sect to release the power and help Chongyun delay for a short period of time.

"."

"Cough cough."

"I can see that you two have a good relationship, but there's no need to be so nervous. It's better to move the books you left in the warehouse as soon as possible. Don't blame me if you get discovered."

"By the way, can you sell me the formula for the 'Breakage Pill'? I'm also willing to exchange it with other technologies."

!!!

Just as Xingqiu was about to take action, a young man's voice came from behind him. From what he said, it seemed that he had been standing here for a long time.

Xingqiu was startled and rolled forward twice. Only after looking back did he finally see clearly what was happening behind him.

——He saw that the ferocious beast that had been chasing them for a long time was indeed behind him and Chongyun, but it had been blocked by layers of solid rocks and vines and was completely unable to move.

And judging by the position of the limbs stretched out from the opponent's body, it was obvious that he had gotten tired of playing and was about to attack the two of them the next moment.

But now that the beast was bound, he was no longer thinking about how to play with the two of them.
Even though the beast's true form was a cruel, bloodthirsty, mentally confused remnant of a demon, and it should not have any other emotions, Xingqiu could still see some unspeakable fear in its scarlet eyes.

".MoraxMorax"

The ferocious beast that was bound in place kept repeating these four words, as if it had seen its natural enemy and had completely lost the courage to resist.

A handsome young man was standing next to it with a calm face, and it seemed that he did not regard the big guy next to him as an enemy worthy of attention.

The one who just interrupted Xingqiu was none other than this helper who had appeared beside them at some point in time.

"."

"My name is Xingqiu, the second son of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. I would like to thank the Immortal for his help this time. If the Immortal does not mind, I will make a statue of the True Lord and worship it in the family."

He could not think of any other possibility except those immortals far away from the world who were able to subdue the remnants of the demon god quietly and completely and still looked so young.

Thinking that the titles of the immortals in the books often ended with "True Lord", Xingqiu simply used this title.

"My name is Chongyun. My family has lived in Liyue for a long time, and our family has been exorcising evil spirits for generations. I would like to thank the Immortal for your help. May I know your name? After returning to my family, I will check the Imperial Edict and offer my tribute."

Compared to Xingqiu who only knew what he heard, Chongyun on the side seemed much more professional.

Most of the immortals with names and surnames have their treasured edicts preserved in their exorcist families. Their families have professional sacrificial procedures. Now they just want to verify which legendary immortal the young man in front of them is.

".Immortal? I am not any immortal you two know. I just have some skills that can subdue this remnant of the demon god. There is no need to be so reserved."

The boy shook his head and gave an answer that left the two puzzled.

Thinking of what Zhongli once said, that he was actually one of the immortals, if this strength was used as the standard, Lin Feng felt that it was not inappropriate for him to be called an immortal. However, he did not have a formal title yet and was not within the Liyue system, so he let it go for the time being.

"If you really want to ask about my identity, I am actually just a temporary guest in Bubulu. You may have heard of me. Just call me by my name."

Thinking about how he and Zhongli often strolled around various places in Liyue Harbor, and every time someone recognized Zhongli, the Emperor would change the subject and praise this idler in Bubu Lu, Lin Feng felt that his popularity in Liyue Harbor was actually quite high.

".Bubolu.Keqing."

"——Could it be that you are the legendary guest official 'Lin Feng'?!"

"It is said that you and Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall are both highly talented and well-educated people. I never thought that your abilities are so outstanding."

Xingqiu, who often went to Wanwen Collection to read books and liked to inquire about gossip, was obviously familiar with this matter and directly said his name.

After this introduction, Xingqiu relaxed a little. After all, according to rumors, these two guests were very approachable and enthusiastic in their daily lives. They should be easier to deal with than the immortals in the legend who would seal people in amber or throw them out from Jueyunjian at any time.

But no matter what, the life-saving grace is real. Xingqiu thought of the hand on his shoulder just now and said sincerely:

"——In any case, it is a fact that you saved the two of us. After returning to Liyue Harbor, I will come to thank you one day. If you have any needs, please don't hesitate to ask. We will do everything we can. Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will not let you down."

"I wonder if it would be convenient for you to go back with me now. I would like to prepare some thank-you gifts for you in my own name."

Xingqiu suggested.

"I accept your kindness, but I still need to deal with this remnant of the demon god, so it is not convenient for me to travel with you now."

Sensing a presence nearby, Lin Feng discovered that Xingqiu, Chongyun and Xiao always seemed to appear in a group when he unlocked his authority.

Shaking his head, he controlled the power of the rock element, suspended the packaged demon god remnant in mid-air, and said goodbye to the two people in front of him:

"Alright, I have already checked the road back to Liyue Harbor. There is only this one remaining demon. You can return without worry."

"——As for me."

"Let's meet again after you two return to Liyue Harbor."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the two of them could reply, Lin Feng and the huge remains of the demon god disappeared into the cave with a flash of yellow light.

"."

In the cave that had become much emptier, Xingqiu and Chongyun looked at each other in bewilderment.
The two people were unable to react after suddenly escaping danger in such a miraculous way, and even began to doubt that their previous experience was just an absurd dream.

But the lingering chill in the air eventually reminded them.

"This should be some immortal who is traveling around the world, so he is hiding his identity, right? I read that in the storybooks."

Xingqiu paused and expressed his guess.

"I don't know, but since the Immortal has asked us to address him by his mortal name, it would be better not to make random guesses except for preparing a thank you gift."

Chongyun thought of the strange people and events recorded in his own records, and became even more unsure about the identity of the young man just now.

"Well, you are right. It is better not to spread what happened today before getting permission."

Xingqiu nodded in agreement with Chongyun's opinion.

"By the way, Chongyun, you seem to have become much quieter since you hid in the cave. Is there any reason?"

Thinking of the strange look he had noticed on his best friend's face when he was thanking him earlier, Xingqiu asked.

"Nothing, maybe I saw it wrong, after all, this is too incredible."

"What's going on? Why are you keeping us in suspense?"

Xingqiu was a little curious.

"That's right, Xingqiu, do you think the person who saved us is somewhat similar to the projection we saw on Guili Plain?"

Chongyun thought of the only two major crises he had encountered since his debut, and expressed his doubts with some uncertainty.

"."

Xingqiu was silent for a moment, looked at his best friend beside him, and fell into deep thought.

Back to Lin Feng.

The decision to personally rescue Xingqiu and Chongyun was the result of careful consideration.

Since he was planning to do something big in Liyue in the future, it would be better for him to get in touch with both the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce behind Xingqiu and the Exorcist Family behind Chongyun.

Besides, there is really a lot of fun in this "Xingyunliushui Combination". Xingqiu is much more sinister than he looks, and Chongyun has a negative buff called "Pure Yang Body". If this genius alchemist does not pay attention, he will probably fall into traps every day, and he will be in a strange situation where he is grateful to Xingqiu.

Shaking his head and throwing the strange thoughts out of his mind, Lin Feng, with the remnants of the demon behind him, headed straight towards Xiao.

After gaining control of the rock element and gaining the ability to teleport through medium-distance earth veins, he no longer had to envy the mysterious appearances of Xiao and Emperor.

Although the distance still cannot be directly transmitted between different countries, it is indeed many times more convenient to travel.

Moreover, it appears in a flash and disappears in a flash. I think few people can resist the charm of this cool way of traveling, right?
After flashing several times, Lin Feng came to Xiao's side.

Even if the curse left by the demon god on Xiao has been removed, there is no need to worry about the impact of "karma" on mortals.

But this young immortal with green hair and golden eyes still looked as cold and unapproachable as when he first met her.

But for some reason, this demon-conquering great sage, who used to be penniless and went empty-handed, now held a pile of purple pages in his hands, with rich earth energy surging on them.

Seeing Lin Feng coming, Xiao, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, suddenly turned around and handed forward a large pile of purple pages in his hand.

In Lin Feng's surprised eyes, he said something without thinking:

".Thank you. This is the thing you left with me last time. I kept it for a while and now I'm giving it back to you."

???

Looking at Xiao, who seemed to have a cold face, he actually said the word "thank you" very frankly and even forced a somewhat stiff smile on his face.

Shocked, Lin Feng couldn't help but blink twice in confusion, and began to wonder if he had accidentally entered into some strange dream.
