"Mushroom...Mushroom King!"
Leila lowered her head instantly and called out in a respectful tone.
Nowadays, there is no one in Xumi who does not feel awe for the Mushroom King.
Mona got the answer she had anticipated, and all the doubts in her heart were completely dispelled.
So it was not unfair that my crystal ball exploded.
"Regarding Vesefenir, he was an astrologer during the Kanreya Dynasty. When Kanreya was destroyed, he chose to throw himself into the embrace of the abyss and possessed unparalleled extraordinary power. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the most powerful astrologer in the history of Teyvat, no doubt about it."
Mona's heart trembled. No wonder her divinations on Viserfenil had been unsuccessful.
The other party turned out to be such a powerful and ancient being!
If Lu Sheng hadn't pulled him away in time, he would have been suppressed to death by Viserfenir!
Thinking of this, Mona broke out in a cold sweat again.
However, she always felt that the name Lu Sheng sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that she had heard of this name when she was in Mond.
He was the great hero who helped Mondstadt resolve the dragon plague. Later, somehow he was involved in the war between Liyue and Rhinedort and unfortunately died.
However, not only did he not die, he has now become the god of Xumi. During this period, there was bound to be some unknown twists and turns.
Mona soon realized one more thing.
That is, Lu Sheng and Rhinedotte had a grudge in Liyue, and Rhinedotte was one of the eight witches of the Witch Association, which meant that Lu Sheng and the Witch Association also had a grudge, and his master was also one of the eight witches of the Witch Association...
All this means, doesn't it mean that there is an antagonistic relationship between himself and the gods of Sumeru?
Mona vaguely felt that her coming to Xumi was not as simple as she had imagined.
Could it be that the other party wants to take me as a hostage?
"Mona, I'm sorry to have hidden all this from you. Don't worry, the promised remuneration will not be reduced by a cent. Your work has been completed, but considering your personal safety, you cannot leave Xumi for the time being."
"Vesefenir's prophecy is not meant to scare children. He will definitely kill everyone who knows of his existence. No one in this observatory will be able to escape, especially you."
"Staying with me is the safest choice."
The more Mona listened, the more she felt that her guess was correct. Lu Sheng just wanted to keep her by his side as a hostage.
But in the current situation, staying in Xumi is exactly the right choice.
After all, the person standing in front of him is a god. If even he can't protect himself, is there anyone else in the entire Teyvat who can do it?
Mona couldn't help but think of her old lady. If she knew about this, she would be so angry.
As soon as this thought came into her mind, a beeping sound suddenly came from her body.
Mona took out a small conch that the old woman had left for her to use for communication.
Because she saw the old woman's dark history in Mond, she didn't dare to contact her master, so she used some tricks to cut off the magical connection of the little conch.
Why is it suddenly ringing now?
Mona put the little conch to her ear with trepidation.
"Master...Master?"
"Evil disciple! What have you done? Have you ignored my warnings? Get back here now!"
The hysterical roar almost shattered Mona's eardrums.
"Master, I..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? You've gotten into big trouble, you know that? Fortunately, I left a magic on you, and I sensed the aura of that charlatan... Anyway, no matter where you are or what you are doing, don't worry! Run! Come back to Master, otherwise no one can save you!"
The words coming from the small conch fell into the ears of everyone in the observatory word for word.
Mona's face turned red and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lu Sheng asked, "Is he your master?"
"Hmm? A man's voice? Who's next to you?!"
Lu Sheng took the small conch from Mona, whose mind was blank, and started chatting with the other side: "Hello, Master Mona, please don't get excited, Mona is safe here with me."
The voice from the little conch was very angry, "Who are you? I warn you, don't have any bad thoughts about my apprentice. You are the one who instructed my apprentice to provoke that charlatan, right? I will settle this account with you later. Send my apprentice back safely first, or I will make you pay!"
"My name is Lu Sheng."
"......" There was sudden silence from the other side, as quiet as death.
"You little brat! Come to me if you have anything to say! Let my apprentice go! Ah! Apprentice!!! Just wait! Where are you!"
The alarming volume forced Lu Sheng to move the small conch farther away.
"Your disciple is doing well with me. If you want to find your disciple, come to Xumi. I'll be waiting for you on Xumi Street."
"Ah! Lu Sheng, wait! I'm not done with you! Wait for me!"
Xumi Chapter: Chapter 132: Codename B Witch
The magic connection was forcibly severed, and judging from the results, the opponent's anger would never subside in a short period of time.
This is good news. The angrier the other party is, the more it proves how important Mona is in her heart.
Lu Sheng was not worried that she would come to kill him. As long as he had Mona in his hands, the old woman would not dare to act rashly.
He could even use the emperor to control the princes and force the old woman to assist Xumi in fighting against Viserfenir.
Because from just a few simple sentences, it was enough to hear that this witch had once had an intersection with Viserfenil, and it was an intersection with grudges.
Lu Sheng returned the small conch to Mona. Mona was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it and asked hesitantly, "What...what do you want to do to me? My master is not someone you can easily mess with..."
At this time, Lisa came up and hugged Mona's shoulders, comforting her: "Don't worry, he won't hurt you, and I won't allow him to do that."
Judging from Lisa's tone, she seemed to have known all this for a long time.
Mona's idea that she had been tricked was increasingly confirmed.
Oh my god, how could the world become like this? People's minds are hard to predict, and I seem to be stupid.
"Lisa, take Mona back to rest first. Leila, you too, you've worked hard during this period. Xumi will face a severe test next. You stay in the academy until the chaos is over. I can guarantee your safety."
Lu Sheng ordered several people to be settled, and he immediately returned to the Church of the Lord and boarded the Mushroom King's ship.
Next, he will face the impending invasion of the abyss as the Lord of Sumeru.
Fully armed Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards were deployed to various checkpoints, and the Xumi people scattered in various areas were also urgently transferred to Xumi City.
Lu Sheng was not afraid that Viserfenir would not come, but he was afraid that he would hide in the abyss like a turtle.
On the second day, the invasion of the abyss arrived as expected.
Monsters transformed from the power of the abyss began to appear in various places in Xumi.
The rainforest turned gray, large tracts of plants died, and farmland was ruthlessly trampled and destroyed by monsters.
A large mass of monsters gathered together and attacked the defense line outside Xumi City like a tide.
The Supreme Commander of the Imperial Guard, Senor, stood at the front of the defense line, watching the approaching monsters expressionlessly.
Things are different now. Xumi now has powerful weapons and a strong army, and is no longer afraid of the threat of the power of the abyss.
"General! Give the order!"
The sergeant behind Seno had never faced such a large army of monsters and was already sweating profusely.
"No rush, just wait."
Seno was calm, he knew very well that it was not the best distance to open fire, and firing rashly would only waste bullets.
The three groups of monsters advanced in unison, surging forward and arriving in a moment.
One thousand meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters!
Beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from the sergeant's forehead.
"General!"
"Now! Fire!"
At Seno's command, the soldiers on the defense line were finally freed. They pulled the trigger one after another, pouring ammunition towards the monsters.
The Mushroom King has ordered the entire country of Xumi to enter a wartime state. All commercial activities have been stopped. While ensuring basic supplies, the economy has been entirely shifted to military operations.
The factory's efficiency was pushed to the highest level, with production running around the clock. Cartloads of bullets were shipped to the front line, filling up the warehouses.
The Mushroom King's army will never worry about military supplies.
Under the powerful firepower coverage, the first batch of monsters were ruthlessly torn apart, and a bloody mist was created at the forefront of the battlefield.
"Hahahaha! That's awesome! This is way more fun than shooting a bow and arrow!"
The old soldier who had experienced the threat of the dead zone and played wilderness survival games with bows and arrows against monsters in the forest was so excited that he stood up from the trench and shot at the monsters with his gun.
When have we, the Xumi people, ever fought such a prosperous war?
Is there any other army in Teyvat that can chase down and beat the monsters from the abyss?
After a whole day of bloody fighting, Xumi won a complete victory at a very small cost and repelled the first wave of attacks from the Abyss.
The morale of the entire army boosted.
However, no one expected that the monsters in the abyss would evolve the next day.
As early as when he was in Liyue, Lu Sheng had discovered that the power of the abyss had self-awareness, and they would constantly change according to changes in the environment.
On the battlefield the next day, a huge monster holding a shield appeared.
They stood like a wall in front of the monster army, blocking the most deadly firepower output.
Under such circumstances, the Imperial Guard seemed somewhat powerless.
In just a few hours, the outermost line of defense was breached by monsters and the defending army suffered heavy losses.
The Council of Religious Affairs urgently dispatched more troops to defend the second line of defense.
Trained snipers also went onto the battlefield, specifically sniping the monsters holding shields, and barely resisted the second wave of attacks.
What’s even more terrifying is that the monsters seem to have seen through Xumi’s strategic deployment.
After retreating, they became extremely cunning, specifically bypassing the heavily guarded defenses and attacking weak positions.
Xumi was unable to cope with the situation and could only continuously dispatch forces for support.
The result was that as soon as the reinforcements arrived, the monsters retreated immediately and soon appeared at another weak point.
The other side seemed to have a God's perspective, playing with the Sumi army in the palm of their hands, causing commanders such as Seno to become extremely anxious and curse.
Things had developed to this point and Lu Sheng had no choice but to take action.
That afternoon, just when a defense line in the southwest corner of Xumi was about to be breached by monsters, the Mushroom King's divine soldiers descended from the sky and appeared on the battlefield, slaughtering the surging monsters in an instant.
At the same time, the Son of God, Apep, also appeared at the position that was about to fall, and turned the tide of the battle with his powerful strength.
However, the failure again did not affect the counterattack of the Abyss. After a short period of silence, the Abyss became more cunning, avoiding the locations of several powerful combat forces like a ghost, and even learned how to lure the tiger away from the mountain, making everyone quite annoyed.
Up to this moment, Viserfenil had not yet shown up.
After once again struggling to repel the attack from the Abyss, Lu Sheng had to recall Shen Zi and Apep.
Because he has realized that the situation is not good.
"We've been led around by the nose. This has to do with Viserfenil, who is using astrology to predict our actions."
Lu Sheng directly stated his guess.
Although the abyss can continue to evolve, it is definitely not as smart as this.
Xumi's strategic deployment is almost completely transparent in front of the abyss.
This is definitely not normal. The only possibility is that Viserfenir predicted everything through divination and guided the Abyss to make changes behind the scenes.
As a person from outer space, Lu Sheng himself is indeed immune to the influence of divination, but the people of Xumi are not.
Since Viserfenil can unilaterally see through all the actions of the Guards and the Imperial Guards, there is no way to fight this battle.
We must find a way to restrain the opponent's divination.
Shen Zi and Apepu looked at each other in bewilderment at this conclusion.
Even though they realized this, they knew almost nothing about divination and could not think of a solution.
