King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 755: Xumi's Deep Routine

"Shouldn't we find it here?"

On a big tree in Xumi City, the young master hid in the dense canopy, muttering to himself as he watched the people coming and going below.

But not long after he said this, he found that the crowd below suddenly dispersed.

"No...no way?" An ominous premonition surged in the young man's heart, and then this ominous premonition turned into reality.

"It's on that tree! Cut the tree down!" The guard's roar was so piercing that it scared the young master so much that he jumped out from the treetops.

Just when he was about to teach these ungrateful guards a lesson, he saw that the place was surrounded.

"goodbye!"

Recalling his experience of being besieged in Inazuma, and considering that he still had to go to Fontaine, the young man decisively gave up the idea of ​​fighting and quickly ran away.

He almost left a shadow, and the guards chasing him below probably couldn't even eat the sand he stepped on.

It was extremely difficult to stop an executive officer from running away without someone of equal strength. Jumping back and forth from the buildings of Xumi City, the young master soon shook off the pursuers behind him.

He stood on the roof and felt that it was not a wise move to touch the bad luck of Mount Sumeru now.

Looking left and right, the young man soon found a good place to hide.

……

"anyone there?"

"Someone!"

The young master pinched his nose and answered in a muffled voice. In a public toilet in midsummer, even if there was incense burning, it couldn't suppress the pungent smell.

But it is precisely because of this that the Young Master chose to hide here!

"I don't believe that we can be discovered here!" The young master said in the compartment, clenching his fists.

"Boom!"

"Snapped!"

"Boom!"

The sound of doors opening one after another came from beside the young master, which made him sigh: "The Xumi people are really efficient in going to the toilet. They are done so quickly."

The people in the toilet went out, but no one outside came in. Sweat began to seep out of the young master's forehead.

"Someone! Blow up the toilet for me!"

"boom!"

"Do you have to be so cruel? Don't you find it smelly?!"

Flames were flying, but fortunately the young master ran away before the explosion happened.

"Chase! He's in the southwest corner!" Another shout, and the guards swarmed over again, even though they could not see the young master.

After experiencing so many setbacks, the young master finally came to his senses.

"Why do I feel like they know my location?" The young man looked at the guards chasing him from behind and felt that it was almost certain.

Hiding in corners and treetops could perhaps be explained by the Xumi guards doing their duty, but the fact that someone could be found quickly even after hiding in a toilet was something the young master could never accept.

Recalling every detail of his arrival in Xumi, a trace of doubt appeared on the young master's face. While running, he took off the void terminal next to his ear.

"Did you reveal your position?"

The young master asked the void terminal. But a dead object certainly couldn't answer his question.

"What a pity! I was thinking of using you to handle the job!" After feeling heartbroken for a while, the young master squeezed the void terminal hard and crushed it into powder.

This time he no longer thought about looking for a hiding place in Xumi City, but ran directly out of the city.

And the fact is indeed as the young master expected. The culprit for his location being exposed is the void terminal, not only his own, but also others'.

His own void was constantly exposing his coordinates, while other people's void terminals were collecting data leaked when the Young Master was running.

It can be said that since the young master was locked down, everyone in Xumi City has become an eye monitoring him, and he has nowhere to hide in Xumi City.

But once he came to the uninhabited Xumi City, it was not the same. The young master's void terminal was crushed by him, and no one outside the city could see him.

Therefore, the busy young master finally had time to take a breath. This breath lasted for most of the day. The sun set and the moon was high in the sky.

The young master saw with his own eyes that the lights in Xumi City went from bright to dim, and he knew that the time to sneak in had come.

Looking at the city leaning against the big tree and thinking about his experience during the day, the young master felt that it was like a sleeping beast that might wake up at any time.

"Huh... go in and take a look and come out!"

The young master took a few deep breaths, looked at the flickering Eye of God in his hand, and made up his mind to just take a look at the place that made his heart beat and then come back.

The whale seen in the dream had once turned over in Sumeru, and its residual breath could still stir the young man's heart.

So, the young man who escaped during the day sneaked into Xumi City again.

Compared to the bustling crowds during the day, Xumi City was much quieter at night. The streets were empty, with no one in sight.

Even if the young master were to walk on the street now, I'm afraid no one would notice him.

Easily bypassing the scattered guards in the city, the young master arrived at the highest point of Xumi City, which was also the place he felt most called to.

This place seemed to have experienced a disaster. Many of the broken walls and ruins had not been dealt with in time, and only a tall shed was hastily built on the empty ground.

The young man walked closer and closer, and the closer he got, the clearer the roar of the whale became in his ears.

It was only faint at first, but later it was deafening.

"Woo——"

An extremely clear roar was heard, causing the young master's body to tremble violently several times.

This sound was completely different from the simple roar of the beast before. It was full of humiliation and pain, as if the owner of the sound had suffered some inhuman torture.

Feeling the same pain, the young master actually had the idea of ​​escaping from here.

He looked around and found that he had reached the entrance of the greenhouse without knowing when.

What surprised the young master even more was that there was a giant several tens of meters tall standing quietly inside the greenhouse.

Looking up, he saw a busy figure on the giant's shoulder. Unexpectedly, it was a little girl in a floral dress.

The girl held the water pipe in both hands, and a stream of water emitting azure fluorescent light spurted out of the pipe, cleaning the stains on the doll and everything that could not be cleaned by ordinary means.

"You are……"

Sensing the gazes below, the Great Compassion Tree King stopped cleaning the God of Righteousness. She lowered her head and saw that the young master was staring at the God of Righteousness's chest with a burning gaze.

"Are you here to steal the Heart of God..." The Great Compassion Tree King already had some guesses about the young master's purpose.

But the young master did not answer the question of the Great Compassion Tree King. He suppressed the joy in his heart and looked around carefully.

Good, there is no guard except the girl above.

"Huh...what an unexpected gain."

"Little sister, look, there is a shooting star!" The young man pointed behind the Great Compassion Tree King and pretended to show a surprised expression, as if there was really a shooting star passing by there.

"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old?"

Unfortunately, the Great Compassion Tree King was not moved at all. Not to mention that there was a sunshade behind her and she couldn't see outside at all, even if it was a real meteor, she wouldn't be very interested.

"Om-"

Under the young master's astonished gaze, the doll's crying ghost face lifted up. Then he saw the little girl watering the plants crawling in.

"Crack!"

The ghost face closed, and the puppet's still body shook slightly. Then a terrifying aura emanated from the awakened puppet.

"Go ahead and capture it!"

The puppet's arms danced very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it held the young master in its palm.

Looking at the god-like puppet in front of him, the young master suddenly understood why the big whale in his destiny would make such a pitiful roar.

"Damn it, even Xumi's little brat is so powerful. Is there something wrong?!"
