People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 259: Doctor: Liyue is too dangerous, retreat

".You said your name is Zhongli now, is that right?"

"Exactly."

"No, I'm still used to calling you Morax."

"up to you."

"."

In front of the ruins of Hulao Mountain,

Ruota, who still maintains the form of a dragon for the time being, is reminiscing about the past with Zhongli, who is obviously in a good mood.

It's rare to see an old man in this state.
Knowing that in this reunion after a thousand years, both sides must have many feelings,

Lin Feng simply didn't go over to interrupt them at this time.
Instead, he chose to study with the three immortals beside him the extent of the damage caused by the battle.
And the most important post-processing should be carried out.

Liyue Harbor, within the immortal power barrier reinforced by Lin Feng.

The numerous and neatly arrayed Qianyan troops, due to previous orders, retreated behind the defense line.
But among these armored and armed Qianyan soldiers,
Many members of the Adventurer's Guild wearing green uniforms,

As a collaborator, we also took on some of the work of treating the wounded and transporting supplies.

Although the tremors in the distance finally stopped,
No more forces beyond the ability of mortals to deal with will intervene on the battlefield.
However, the projected monsters derived from the earth veins formed a cluster due to the isolation of the previous barrier.

Wandering aimlessly in the wilderness outside the barrier.

At the commander's discretion,

Although the monsters' desire to attack seems to have decreased a lot, now they are just acting on instinct.

But if the barrier is suddenly lifted, it will still be a considerable threat.

Therefore, these Thousand Rocks Army and adventurers did not let down their guard.
Instead, they began to plan the subsequent cleanup and finishing work.

But among the many black-haired and black-eyed Liyue people,

A blonde girl in a white dress and the white-haired kid beside her received the most praise from everyone.

——As a co-researcher of Xumi,
Not only did they, like the Adventurer's Association, voluntarily choose to accept the special support mission issued by the General Affairs Department,

And he is very skilled,

In the previous battle, they had quickly and efficiently repelled many monsters that attacked from the flanks of the army, relieving a lot of pressure on the Qianyan Army.

But at this moment,
This girl received admiring glances from many of the Qianyan Army's soldiers.
But he was not proud of his fighting ability being stronger than that of ordinary people.
On the contrary, she and Paimon beside her still felt a lot of fear after recalling the scene just now.

".Ying. Tell me, if that mountain-sized spear came down, could the two of us have caught it?"

".We probably haven't said anything bad about the god Emperor Yan before, right?"

Compared to the Qianyan Army who only felt excited when seeing such a scene,
The blonde girl next to Paimon felt differently:

When she thought about having to deal with such a god in order to find her brother, her sense of crisis was instantly maxed out.

——It is true that my agility and ability to withstand damage are much stronger than that of ordinary people.

But if it was this kind of attack, like smashing down countless mountains,
She didn't think she could dodge it, nor did she think she could take it head on.

".Don't worry, Paimon, I don't think we have ever done anything like that."

After comforting the companions around me,

After a slight pause,
She looked at the spiral-shaped emerald green pendant hanging around her neck and felt a little relieved:
".If this pendant also contains such power,
Then the value of our reward this time may be far beyond our initial expectations."

——This pendant was the only reward she and Paimon received in the previous mission, apart from the authority.
That crystal of divine power is said to be able to resist god-level attacks in a passive state and can also be actively activated.

"Hey, don't use Ying carelessly!"

"——If it really triggers something that shouldn't be used, we may have to work for the rest of our lives to pay for it."

The thought of being thrown into prison and never having delicious food again because of damaging so many buildings and facilities made me feel very uncomfortable.

Paimon shuddered all over.
He looked warily at the blonde girl beside him who was obviously very curious about this thing.

"."

".Don't worry, I won't use it recklessly. And if this thing is to be activated actively, it seems that we both need to authorize it at the same time."

shook his head,

Put the messy thoughts out of your mind for a while.

Ying recalled a strange figure she saw when she was clearing monsters, and asked Paimon beside her:

"By the way, Paimon, were you behind the monsters just now?

See a strange figure with a mask on his face and a test tube hanging by his ear?"

".I don't know if it was a monster projection, but his sight gave me a very bad feeling."

Because I am very sensitive to other people's gazes when I am in combat.
So during the previous melee, Ying accidentally discovered the strange human being who was different from the projection of the treasure-stealing group.

".Wearing a mask? With a test tube hanging from your ear?"

".Paimon seems to have not seen this strange person at all."

The floating white-haired ball shook his head.

Said that he didn't notice the existence of such a guy.

".I always feel that it can't be my illusion."

Ying frowned slightly, making sure that she couldn't have been wrong.

But in the end, she shook her head and put the matter aside for the time being:
"——Never mind, maybe it's just a weird monster projection.
Thinking about it now won’t lead to any further conclusions.”

"Let's go and ask the Qianyan Army ahead if they need any help.
There are still a lot of monsters out there."

Because there are not many knowledgeable people around me.
I felt that I might have accidentally discovered some rare monster projection that was worth studying.
Ying also planned to wait until things here were over.

Just go and ask the scholar Lin Feng who lives in Yujingtai to see if he has any impression of this guy.

In the Jueyunjian area, next to the ruins of what was once known as "Hu Lao Mountain".

With a melancholy look on his face, Master Lishui Dieshan looked at the "cave" in front of him that had been broken into stone powder.
Even though he was an immortal, he showed a look of pain.

——Although I did a lot of work on connecting mountains during the Demon God War,
But in this situation where everything has been shattered into pieces, even if a few more people come, he can’t save it!
".Ahem, please accept my condolences, it seems that the old man was having a lot of fun at that time." Watching the battle throughout,

Lin Feng knew that the explosive rock guns thrown by Zhongli were one of the main culprits for the complete destruction of the scene.
He also expressed that he was helpless to help the situation of Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun who was beside him.

——It is not difficult to reshape a mountain on flat ground, but there must be nothing left of the cave on the top of Mount Hulao where people had lived for thousands of years.

It can only be said that Jueyunjian, which was originally located next to the battlefield,

After the fight, only the areas west of Hulao Mountain and Qingyun Peak suffered devastating damage.

This is the result of Lin Feng's best efforts to protect it.

Otherwise, based on the fighting situation between Ruota and Zhongli, it would be no problem for them to defeat half of Liyue.

"."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I have saved a lot of wasabi seeds over the years. It will only take a little more effort to rebuild it."

"As for the cave, I'll ask Liu Yun or Ge Chen to come and help later."

Because Ruo Tuo was sealed under his own cave,
Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan had anticipated such a situation in advance, but after seeing the pile of stone powder, he still couldn't hold it in.

After a brief pause, he looked at Lin Feng in front of him and thanked him solemnly:
"——The damage to Liyue this time was far less than expected, all thanks to your attention diverting during the battle to provide protection. I would like to thank you on behalf of my two old friends who went to open the immortal power barrier."

——The top powerful demons fought with all their might, but it only affected such a small area. This was actually a very incredible result.

Not to mention that the god in front of him not only created a dream that Ruota could not see through at the beginning of the battle, but also completed the most core memory awakening work this time.

"Ahem, to be honest, I have caused you all a lot of trouble this time.
I can only say that with so many tasks at the same time, my control over the grass element is still a little insufficient."

"Hmm? What does that mean? It seems like nothing has gone wrong."

Master Lishuidieshan was a little puzzled.

"——It's quite simple. Please look beyond the barrier, my lord."

Lin Feng pointed to the north side of Jueyunjian, where the Aozang Mountain where the cave of True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was located:
——On the top of Mount Ao Zang, a woman with snow-white hair and a red rope tied around her body was fighting with several trees that had grown out of the ground.

These animated plants have tough bodies, are agile in movement, and their branches dance vigorously. Judging from their individual strength, they are not inferior to the powerful projection monsters at the foot of the mountain.

"."

".Hiss, what is this?"

Even though I have seen those special plants that can construct roads in Xumi,

But Master Lishui Dieshan, who had never seen a tree running on the ground, was still greatly shocked for a moment.

".To put it simply, this is a reflection of my will in this world.

Although they probably won't actively attack other lives, they will still try to subdue their opponents if they are hit."

"."

It didn't take long, I just let it go without noticing it before.
After the battle, Lin Feng quickly checked the surrounding environment.

Some unexpected discoveries: Apart from Mount Ao Zang, there are only a few scattered living plants.

After briefly reminding Shen He, whom he had not yet formally met, he quickly transmitted them all to his eyes.

".Well, it turns out that these guys are still just instinctive and don't have any real wisdom."

I originally planned to restore these plants to their previous appearance.
But when Lin Feng looked up, he saw that the crane eyes of the True Lord Lishui Dieshan were about to shine.
"."

I almost forgot that besides having thousands of years of civil engineering experience, Master Lishui Dieshan seems to be very interested in all kinds of strange plants.
Didn't think too much.
He looked at the immortal in front of him who seemed to want to speak but was a little embarrassed.

He shook his head, smiled and said:
".Alright, these guys are useless in my hands. Since you are interested in them, I will give them to you to guard the cave in the future.

You only need to issue commands to them using the usual methods of operating the mechanisms. There is no need to maintain them on a daily basis, just don’t let them come into contact with too much fire element.”

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing?"

While Master Lishuidieshan was trying to evade the issue, he quickly sealed and put away these plants that were of great collection and ornamental value.

Lin Feng: “.” I have clearly arrived in Teyvat, but why does this scene look so familiar to me?

shook his head,

After dealing with the little episode, he sent away Master Lishui Dieshan.

Looking at Emperor Jun and Ruo Tuo who had just started reminiscing about the past,

Lin Feng thought that he might as well have nothing to do.
I decided to take this opportunity to practice my control over the grass element.
——Just clear out the remaining projection monsters in Liyue.

".Come to think of it, I never seem to have any chance to be invincible."

".These projected monsters seem to be pretty good targets."

Recalling a little bit,
I found that I had the power of the grass element, which was the best at team battles, but before this time, I had never found a suitable target.

Lin Feng, who had wanted to test his group ability before, became really interested while mobilizing his own grass elemental power.

at the same time,

On the west side of Guiliyuan, on a high ground near Liyue Beach.

The figure that Ying had seen before, wearing a strange mask and with test tube decorations hanging from his ears,

In silence, he used the observation devices he had placed on the monsters.
Looking at the projected monsters covering almost the entire Liyue area, it seemed as if all their vitality had been drained away in an instant.
Very neatly, it turned into black ashes and floated between heaven and earth.

Seeing this scene,
Originally, under the order of the Queen, he sent a Slice to Liyue to redeem his Eleventh Seat Dotore.
For some reason, I suddenly remembered the slice of myself that disappeared inexplicably in Xumi.

"."

Didn't hesitate for too long.
The "doctor" who was indifferent to the matter,
He turned around and walked towards a mechanical ship on the beach behind him, giving up the plan to go to Liyue.

——I remember there seemed to be some interesting things in the Mondstadt area.

That idiot who only cares about fighting is not important anyway, so why not just ignore it for now?
"Om-"

With the sound of the mechanical boat starting up,
Thanks to the high degree of freedom of the executive officers when they are away,
Dottore, who had made the strategic decision to move forward, acted as if he had never made any plans to go to Liyue.
I automatically ignored a certain idiot who was still in prison,

With the endless ocean behind us, we set out on our journey to Mondstadt.
