People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 255: Shock Under the Fulong Tree

The next day, Ying and Paimon were in their temporary residence in Liyue Harbor.

It was different from the small courtyard where I had lived for only two days.
Because today has reached the deadline set by the General Affairs Department,
Ying was trained by the devil for a long time yesterday,

After being sent back, because of his status as a cooperative researcher, he moved into this vacant room provided by the Ministry of Education overnight.

now,

Ying was a little dazed because of yesterday's training.

Looking at the "Elemental Force Training Guide" in the void, which might be so heavy that it could kill people if written down,
While expressing gratitude,
Because the amount of knowledge is too large, the avoidance mentality that beginners often have has also emerged:

——Although this guide provided by the other party is definitely a priceless treasure no matter how you think about it,

After all, it records in detail how to use different elements for treatment, which are techniques that are difficult to learn in the outside world.

But when I think about the fact that so many techniques recorded in the materials are just called "basics" by the other party,
In the countless years of travel before, Ying, who had become accustomed to picking up weapons and charging directly at the enemy, felt a deep sense of despair.

——Looking at Paimon’s expression of “I don’t understand it either, but I will definitely urge you to practice well”, she can already foresee what her future life will be like.

Sighing slightly,

In fact, it is completely understandable that such a brilliant elemental force instructor is such a rare blonde girl.

Put aside the fear in your heart temporarily.

Following the instructions in the void,

Together with Paimon who was looking expectantly beside him, he was waiting for the arrival of his "mission reward".

"."

".Now, all residents around Liyue Harbor have been relocated to the city.
The access to the outside world was also completely blocked. Under this "wartime alert state",

Is there really a courier who can help us deliver the reward?"

Because today is the deadline given by the General Affairs Department,
In the entire Liyue territory, except for a few settlements that are heavily guarded, almost no one can move around in the outside world.
I was very curious about what the reward would be like after sacrificing a lot of Mora and food.
Paimon asked, somewhat worriedly.

".I don't know either, but since the Void said so, there must be a way."

Although Ying could sense that something big was about to happen in Liyue, he actually had little confidence.

"."

"——By the way, did you, Paimon, buy that cabbage decoration next to it?"

“It looks pretty cute.”

As he was talking, he noticed that the cabbage in front of him actually blinked.

Ying also realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"...Golden Nala, stupid!"

"——Lan Luo Mo is not a cabbage! Lan Luo Mo is Lan Luo Mo!"

"."

After the green unknown creature in front of him jumped up angrily,

Ying was somewhat shocked to find that beneath the other party's cute appearance, there seemed to be a power that was no less powerful than the opponent from a few days ago.
Soon I realized that this person was most likely the "messenger" escorting the crystallization of divine power.
She and Paimeng looked at each other, and for a moment they became even more afraid of Xumi next door.

——It is possible that the Fatui executive officer cannot defeat Xumi's cabbage?
Could it be that even the vegetables in the fields would attack people?!
at the same time,

On the north side of Nantianmen, at the foot of Hulao Mountain, in the center of a circular valley surrounded by mountains.
Lin Feng and Zhongli also formed a group and came to a giant tree that was rarely visited by people on weekdays.

——In the basin surrounded by streams,
A strange plant that requires dozens of people to stretch their arms to barely circle it stands at the foot of the mountain.

This ancient tree not only has a unique posture, but also winds like a giant dragon's tail.

Around the giant tree, there are countless dragon-like roots protruding from the ground, spreading in all directions.

Although the leaves on the trees are as yellow as autumn, they seem to lack vitality.
But Lin Feng could feel the wild and primitive vitality beneath the ground from the blue crystals exposed on the tree trunks.

——This is naturally the Fulong tree located right above the Ruota seal in the game.

I was somewhat curious to see this giant tree which is quite rare in Liyue.

Lin Feng looked at Zhongli beside him and asked:
".I remember hearing two versions of the legend.
One said that the giant tree in front of him was actually the seal that originally suppressed the ancient dragon, and then it was slowly eroded into its current appearance;
Another theory is that this was originally part of the dragon king's tail, but it was just shaped like a tree."

"——I don't know what the truth is, I hope the emperor can explain it."

This doubt has actually been around for a long time.
After all, the Ruotu defeated by the player in the game was just a thought.
What the Dragon King really looks like is also a very curious thing for him.

".Well, although I don't know where you heard this legend from, both of them actually have some truth."

After spending such a long time together,
Zhongli was no longer surprised by Lin Feng's information, which came from nowhere but was very close to the truth.
After recalling for a while, he explained:

"The seal of Ruotu is not just to suppress it under the ground.

As the King of Rock Dragons born in the earth veins, if he wants to achieve the effect of sealing,
Then we must isolate the influence of the earth veins."

"——Ruo Tuo's true body is still in the cave that I and the immortals built before.
Although the seal has become somewhat loose due to the passage of time,
But what you see before your eyes cannot possibly be Ruo Tuo's original tail."

Zhongli, who can be regarded as the living history book of Liyue, casually stated the facts of that year.

"Then why did you say before, old man, that both of these statements have some truth?"

Lin Feng was a little curious.

".Because, although the seal is reliable, it has been working for a long time.
The power of Ruota has leaked out a lot over the years.
If you can sense the looming will around the Fulong Tree,
It should not be difficult to understand the current situation of the ancient tree in front of you."

Zhongli looked at the chalcedony seeping out of the tree.
The final answer is given:

"——If my friend and I break the seal and let Ruota return to the surface,
The Fulong tree in front of me, after being infected over the years, will probably exist as the tail end of my old friend."

".I see. I basically understand.
The connection between this thing and Ruotu is probably like the ropes on Mount Sumeru that have become integrated into the trees over time."

I was keenly aware of the word "tail tip".
Lin Feng looked at the Hu Lao Mountain not far away and felt that the immortal residence of Master Lishui Dieshan would probably not be able to be preserved after this battle.

——Trees of this size can only be considered the tip of the tree. After this guy Ruota shows his head, it is estimated that he will not be much shorter than the nearby Hu Lao Mountain.

".However, the will within the Fulong Tree's seal is about to break free."

Lin Feng could naturally feel that the seal had some gaps. Having experienced this scene, he also knew that
If I wait a little longer, I will probably see the strange little girl named Ajiu under the tree.

And the separated Ruota Shannian, who has no one to possess him temporarily, can only hide nearby.

"——Are you talking about the fragment of Ruotu's will?"

Zhongli naturally understood what Lin Feng was talking about.

"If possible, after Ruo Tuo is out of trouble, I hope you can fuse this fragment back into the body of my old friend.
Even these large pieces have fallen off.
It seems that even if the connection between Ruo Tuo and the earth vein is cut off, the interference of external rules can be blocked as much as possible through the cave.

His wear and tear has continued to get worse over the years.”

——The complete will gradually collapsed, and even opposed each other.
This is a very fatal sign among the immortal species, and it is only the last step away from complete madness.

Sighing slightly,

Zhongli looked at Lin Feng beside him and asked:

"——My dear friend, since you have collected most of Ruo Tuo's lost memories from the earth veins,
Then you should also have some understanding of Ruota’s current situation.”

"——Next, I will contact the immortals in Liyue and prepare to completely remove this seal that has been maintained for thousands of years.
The task of connecting the damaged leylines in the Black Rock Field and the Layered Abyss area of ​​Liyue is now left to you, my friend."

At present, the clearing work in the Liyue area has been completed.
The Fulongshu area is also far away from all current residential settlements.

Even if Ruotu really turned the surrounding area upside down,
Apart from a few old friends around, who might have to rebuild their cave residence again after the turmoil caused by the power of the rock element last time,
As long as the battlefield is confined to the vicinity,

The most that happened was that in the recent period, I needed to review my old skills from the Demon War period.

"——Don't worry, old man. Liyue's ground veins are just a little damaged.
Although the fracture is serious, it is far from the point where it needs to be rebuilt.

I’ve already dealt with it in advance.”

"Now, as long as you can provide us with the original directions of these veins,

It won’t take long to get those veins back into circulation.”

When searching for memories,
Lin Feng had already pieced together the broken ground veins into a pile of relatively large fragments.

Now, as long as Zhongli can still remember what these veins looked like thousands of years ago,
Then putting them back together is just a piece of cake.

".However, although I have called Lanaro to help stabilize the emotions of the Liyue residents,
However, the matter of connecting the earth veins may still make the emotions of those who already have malicious intentions more volatile.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties in such a crowded situation,
If those little guys cause some damage in their efforts to suppress the chaos, I hope you won’t blame me, old man.”

Because many places in Liyue are brick and wood structures,

If the situation is really bad enough that Lanaro needs to take action,
That person is unlikely to be in any danger, but the surrounding historic buildings may suffer massive damage.

"."

"——It doesn't matter. Those plant and tree spirits are the best at judging the good and evil of humans.

As long as nothing unexpected happens to the people, Liyue can still afford some damage to the facilities."

"——As for the remnants of demons that might appear in the wild, Xiao and other immortals will try their best to prevent them from approaching the settlement.
All losses from this unblocking will be borne by Liyue.

My friend and the reinforcements you brought just need to do what you want."

Governing Liyue for thousands of years,
Zhongli has never been the kind of perfectionist who cannot tolerate any loss.
Before this hidden danger, which, if not dealt with, would threaten the destruction of the entire country,
After he had taken all possible precautions, he was naturally prepared to clean up the mess afterwards.

"."

Without too many words,
I felt the determination of the old man beside me.

After noting down the path given by Zhongli,
Lin Feng closed his eyes and directly used his own Caoyan authority.

In a short period of time, the line from the Layered Rock Abyss to the Black Rock Valley, which had been damaged by large-scale mining thousands of years ago, was rebuilt.
The ground veins that were further damaged in the abyss invasion five hundred years ago have been restored.

——The next moment,
Just like after the mechanical splicing is completed, the final start button is pressed.

"Boom——"

A low roar was heard, and a vibration seemed to come from the depths of the earth.

It originated from the bottom of the Fulong tree in front of him and quickly spread in all directions.

Perhaps it was the pain caused by the repair of the earth veins.
Or perhaps the intact earth veins provided the extra power to break the seal.

The sealed Ruota Dragon King had not yet fully awakened, but his body began to tremble as if he was in a nightmare.

——This time it is no longer a fragment of consciousness like in the plot,
In ancient times, the King of Rock Dragons could make the earth rumble and tremble just by turning over.

The countdown before escaping the predicament has officially begun.

next moment,
Perhaps it was due to the anger of the ancient dragon king, or perhaps it was due to the abnormality caused by the connection of the earth veins themselves.
The dark clouds spread out from above the Fulong tree and gradually moved away at an extremely fast speed accompanied by the shaking of the earth.
Qiaoying Manor, Jueyunjian, Guiliyuan, Qingce Manor, Liyue Harbor, and even the edge of Xumi
To the shock of the people,

The gap in life levels also made all Liyue residents feel an unspeakable sense of oppression.

In front of the gathering places,

The neatly-lined Qianyan Army looked at the monster projections that were born from the earth veins one after another.

With unprecedentedly sufficient logistics and the leadership of commanders from all over the country, the human army fearlessly faced the wave of monsters.

But these monsters are just the prelude to the changes.
——In the wilderness far away from the town, on the once prosperous plain,

Many enemies were buried by the Rock God.

Thousands of years later, due to the anger and hatred flowing through the veins of the earth,

Once again, he transformed into a body with his dark resentment.

But even with only a frantic mind,
These former losers still tacitly avoided the powerful aura around the Fulong Tree that could easily crush them.

Just open your blood-red eyes,

With endless hatred for the living,

With its form now twisted beyond all possibility, it slowly moved towards Liyue Harbor and Qingce Village, where large amounts of "food" were stored.
