The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 32, Scorched Earth in a Dream
"There are many underground caves here, and the monsters emerge from underground." said another original god.

Xia Mian nodded and rushed into the underground with the cat.

A few weeks later, Shamian, unstained by dust, burst out from underground.

The monsters under the ground here have been completely dealt with by Xiamian, and Xiamian has also carved a magic circle underneath to restrict spatial movement, so there is no need to worry about the underground in this area in the short term.

Speaking of the underground, Xia Mian had a headache. There were simply too many caves underground in the entire Xumi. Now all these caves had become sources of danger, and Xia Mian could only deal with some of them.

However, Xiamian obviously came out at the wrong time. Not far from where she appeared, the Colossi, the Rainforest Scholars, the Desert Gilded Brigade, and even Lannaro hiding in the dark were all fighting with a huge number of monsters.

"It seems we have arrived at the right time." Xia Mian said to Maomao.

The cat meowed twice to show its approval.

Then the man and the cat rushed towards the monster.

The battle lasted for many days.

In the end, they completely eliminated most of the monsters at the cost of the annihilation of the White Swan Knights of the ancient Tuha Kingdom and heavy casualties among the rest of the troops.

"Is Kuru still alive?" After the Battle of Shamian, people were looking for Kuru everywhere.

Her psychic powers told her that Kuru was still alive, but not in a good condition.

“I never thought I would survive this.” Kuru, who was blind in one eye, complained while leaning on his new crutch.

"You don't look well." Xia Mian said.

"Meow~" The cat also nodded, looking at Kuru with eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry too much, it's just that the losses are a bit heavy. The situation is much better than that of the other two old friends. After all, I'm just the commander, and it's rare for me to kill the enemy personally." Kuru seemed to remember something and tremblingly took out the potion and drank it.

But looking at the pile of corpses at his feet, it was obviously not convincing.

However, after taking the potion, Kuru's breathing immediately became much calmer, and Xia Mian was relieved about him.

"Nourish potion, the eternal god." Kuru adjusted his glasses and smacked his lips twice with emotion.

Although tonic potions were originally invented to make money, during the application process, they also discovered some other functions of tonic potions, such as emergency replenishment of some trace substances that the body lacks.

It may not be very effective for young people, but for elderly people like Kuru, it is like a miracle drug and the effect is immediate.

"I feel relieved to see that you are okay." Xia Mian said, "Take your people back to Xumi City to rest. I still have things to do."

"Ok?"

"The Tree King sent a message." Xia Mian gave a rare explanation.

"Is there a problem on the battle line somewhere?"

"There's a problem with the Iron Dunes. There's no problem with the Fugate Mausoleum, but there are too many monsters."

The monsters directly used the monster sea to suppress people in the mausoleum of Fugate, and then a large number of monsters rushed to the sand wall defense line and Huannalana.

Xiamian left the cat to Kuru, and then turned into lightning and disappeared. After all, the cat was a high-end combat force, and its combat power was greater than that of Kuru and his group of defeated soldiers combined.

"Advisor Kuru, here we are to make a post-war summary." said a scholar from the Minglun School.

"Just do it yourselves, just leave this old man like me alone." Kuru said speechlessly.

"After all, you are a former sage and current war advisor. We must take you along with us." said another scholar.

"Okay, lead the way."

"By the way, Advisor Kuru, our previous battle has changed the terrain a lot, and the Colossus has also been completely damaged. If this place is to be renamed, what name do you think would be more appropriate?" asked a scholar.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be asked to the scholars of the Zhilun school who graduated from the Sravastiha Academy? Are you asking me, a sage of the Sulun school, something wrong?" Kuru complained.

"The group that graduated from Shravasti College is probably gone." The scholar sighed, "The monsters launched a surprise attack on their formation, and basically all of them died."

Kuru paused, then looked at the surrounding mountains and said, "Is that so? Then let's call this the Demon Subduing Mountain."

"Yes, Counselor Kuru."

On the other hand, Huan Nalanna, no now it should be called the Huan Nalanna of the past.

"I'm still a step too late." Although Xia Mian hurried as fast as she could, she was still a step too late. Or rather, it was already late since the Tree King was about to notify her.

The three ancient Lannaros sealed a large number of monsters into the dream world.

"Raiden Nala."

"?"

"Look here, Raidenara, here is the incarnation of Wuluta."

Following the guidance of the radish spirit, Xiamian killed all the monsters that obstructed Lannaro's migration. Without time to hesitate, Xiamian rushed to Fuget's tomb.

Although the situation here is still not optimistic, they can still hold on thanks to sufficient water, food and logistics.

But now that the main force of Warcraft has been defeated, it is time to counterattack.

At least several large tribes want to return to their own oasis.

So Shamian began to lead the counterattack.

The House of Religious Orders has done a very poor job in this regard.

They simply provided the Sand People with supplies and then let them take them back themselves.

However, there were also scholars who had received favors from the Sand People and chose to help them, mainly scholars from Samaniyah. During this period, the scholars from Samaniyah grew and became stronger, and were even not inferior to the six major schools.

They even formed their own gilded brigade armed group called the "Jiaolun Group".

Because its leader was Nagajuna, this school is also known as the Nagajuna school.

······
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have made a decision." Fget's consciousness sensed that something big was about to happen, so he appeared in Jingshan Palace.

"You are here. Your existence seems quite unique now, but it is not important." The Great Compassion Tree King said, "You are right. If you want to eradicate the forbidden power, you have to forget it."

"So do you want to try the power of 'forgetfulness'?" asked Fugate.

As the name that constitutes his essence is also powerful. After sublimation, he is in charge of the triple authority of [nothingness], [happiness] and [forgetfulness].

The three are mutually reinforcing and complementary, and Fugate balances them with the power of balance.

Fuget's purpose in helping the Great Compassion Tree King is very simple: you will save me in the future, and I will save you today.

Although you failed to save me, I was just trying and I may not be able to save you successfully. He is here to repay the favor.

“Then let’s give it a try.” The Great Compassion Tree King could easily sense that the other party had no ill intentions.

So he stretched out his hand.

"Burn the memories, destroy the history, erase the past, forget the present..." Fuget chanted the prayer of forgetfulness, and the gray-black aura emanated from his body and entwined with the Great Compassion Tree King.

This is Fuget's power of oblivion, which has the ability to burn memories. The external manifestation is gray-black water and gray-black steam.

The Great Compassionate Tree King showed a look of pain, but had no intention of stopping.

Soon, the Great Compassion Tree King stopped Fuget.

"It's useful, but not that useful." His Majesty the Great Compassion Tree King commented, "Your power can easily destroy ordinary forbidden knowledge, but your power is helpless against the more advanced ones."

Fergate nodded, saying that this was because he was not strong enough.

Unless he possesses the power after completing all the rituals now, he will not be able to have any influence on those powerful forbidden knowledge.

"Then it seems that I can't stop your plan." Fugate left with emotion.

"Your ability to predict is indeed outstanding." The Great Compassion Tree King also praised Fuget's excellence. "I haven't seen a predictor as good as you for a long time."

Xumi has a legacy of prophets, and there are many people who can make accurate divinations and predictions, but there are indeed not many like Fuget. After Fuget left, the Great Compassion Tree King fell into meditation again.

after a while.

"Your Majesty, the army that defeated a large number of monsters at the Demon Subduing Mountain has returned. The Great Sage asked if we should hold a celebration to ease the recent tension among the people."

"Just hold a simpler festival."

After some time.

“Your Majesty, the Great Compassionate Tree King, the number of dead zones in various places has experienced a surge. The forest rangers suffered heavy losses in the war, and it is too late to deal with it.” said the great sage.

"I understand. Dispatch more scholars to join the ranger system." His Majesty the Great Compassion Tree King gave instructions, "Let Sage Kuru train the rangers."

Kuru's martial arts are not unparalleled in the world, but they can be considered very powerful. He can definitely be ranked among the top five among the mortals in the entire Xumi, and now he may even be ranked in the top three.

After all, he fought the entire war and only lost one eye. The most important thing is that this eye was not injured by the monster, but the monster's attack broke Kuru's glasses, causing glass to fly, which caused him to lose one eye.

In fact, if Kuru's glasses were thinner, he could have avoided this attack... His glasses are 0.9cm thick.

"Yes." The great sage took his leave.

After some time, wise men from the Shenglun sect came to meet the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the number of patients with Demon Scale Disease admitted to the Health Home has increased significantly recently, and the amount of painkillers needed has increased significantly... Or please allocate more emotion suppression potions from the H-type potion system."

"I understand. However, the front line also needs these drugs. Please inform the Sulun Sect and the independent alchemists to speed up production, and then distribute a batch to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The situation is getting worse." His Majesty the Great Compassion Tree King looked at Xumi with a kind look, "It's time to start that plan."

"Void..."

······
"He broke off the pure branches, gathered the power of mortals, and threw himself into the fire..."

"The water source is about to dry up, the contract has been completed..."

In Fuget's mausoleum, the priest received Fuget's prophecy.

"Priest, how are you?" asked the leader of the Iron Sand tribe.

"Ahem~" the priest coughed twice and said, "The saint told me that we should leave here and look for a new gathering place."

"Why?" asked the chief.

Although now is indeed a good time to occupy other oases, after all, everyone has suffered serious damage due to the disaster of the dark monster.

But compared to other oases, the chief still wants to stay here.

If nothing else, it's safe here.

Although most of the monsters of the Dark Disaster have been destroyed, there are still a large number of monsters scattered throughout the desert.

Those monsters control the power of space and are very difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, there will be a massacre.

"Because the water source is about to dry up." The priest said, "It is not without cost that the saint maintains such a huge power."

Fugate reinforced the space of the entire Iron Dune area, consuming the power of the underground water veins of the mausoleum.

However, the power of the underground water veins is not infinite. Although most of the water elements can be recycled, resisting for such a long time has also caused serious depletion of the underground water veins of the mausoleum.

It would take at least several decades to recover, and that is assuming there is no loss and it is fully recovered.

If it can sustain the current population of more than 800 people (originally there were more than 1,000 people, and more than 300 people died in the dark disaster), this underground water vein can support nearly a hundred years if the population does not grow. However, if the tribe absorbs wandering sand people and develops its population.

Then it can only last for a few decades at most. If it absorbs more people, it may only last for more than ten years.

In this case, it would be better to abandon this place and treat it as something like a stronghold, allowing the water veins here to slowly recover.

The tribal leader agreed to the priest's proposal, and then began to send warriors and priests to explore the surrounding oases of the original tribe. There should be some scattered tribes there, and they sent warriors to recruit them and take a look at the pollution of the water source by the dark disaster.

What the Sand People hate most about this dark disaster is its pollution of water sources.

Water is the lifeline of the Sand People. Fortunately, the divine bird Simoge and the flower spirits appeared and they used their spiritual light to purify the water in the desert.

However, the divine bird Ximoge and the flower spirit clan are mostly found in the two areas of Huangshi Cangmo and Fuluoyou, and are far behind other places.

Fortunately, the Iron Sand Tribe has its own way. Their priests use rituals to invoke Fuget's unique power (psychic power) to form a special purifying force. This power is more restrained against the power of pollution and only a slight effort is needed to completely purify it.

During the previous war, the warriors were able to get rid of the curse of the monsters thanks to the purification of the priests.

The curse of monsters is very terrifying. If someone is obsessed with killing these monsters, he will sooner or later degenerate into the appearance of monsters (His Majesty's Chamberlain, Veredithen, and Mond Justice/Bloody Knight Roland).

It is precisely for this reason that Tiesha's tribe recovered so well after the war. Now, many warriors from other tribes are leading their people to join them.

"We will send elite men to stay here, and this place will become a stronghold." The chief and the priest promised the people who stayed behind.

Most of those left behind were young soldiers and children.

These people are because the priests know that only young people with abundant inspiration and emotion can reach the highest heaven where the saints are, awaken the power (psychic power) bestowed by the saints, and accept the teachings of the saints (referring to the knowledge that Fuget unconsciously emits).

Of course, even without this, the murals on the second floor of the mausoleum that record knowledge are precious enough.

There are six murals there, the first of which records the principle and detailed refining flow chart of the [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion], representing Fugate's highest achievement in the fields of potion development and refining.

[Fuget Intelligence Development Potion] Even after being simplified and standardized many times, it is still not something that alchemy masters who are not in their prime can try.

Among the potion formulas that Fuget arranged for Kuru to make public after his death was the [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion], but why didn't this potion become popular in Xumi? Isn't it because only a few alchemy masters can refine it?

The second mural records the basic principles and some steps of the [Fuget Intellectual Development Therapy], which represents Fugate's highest achievement in consciousness and brain science. What Fugate is most satisfied with is that he simplified the method of treating mental retardation so that it can be used by anyone with a little knowledge of medicine and brain science.

Only a portion of this was published in the House of Decrees, which at most developed intelligence to the level of an ordinary genius, but the complete version is engraved here.

The third mural records the culmination of Fuget's sword skills throughout his life. This is the peerless sword skill that cannot be changed and can defeat the strong with the weak - the perfect sword skill. Fuget engraved all his sword manuals and principles on the mural.

The fourth mural is the culmination of Fugate's research on elemental power. It discusses in detail the various applications of the steam element, and also has the Blood Moon Breathing Method engraved on the corners, a method that allows people to break through the limits of the human body.

The fifth mural is a portrait of Fugate and six disciples, representing Fugate's highest achievement in pedagogy.

The portraits of these six disciples are not simple either, as Fugate placed the disciples’ spirits in them to nurture them.

The sixth mural is about bio-enhancement technology, but because it is quite taboo, Fugate only depicted some theoretical knowledge.

······
"You're here." Fuget's voice echoed in Xiamian's ears. "You must be tired."

Xia Mian nodded. She was just a biologically enhanced person, not someone who would never get tired.

"Go home and rest if you are tired." Fugate whispered, "In our six-story manor, I will protect you, and may your dream never end."

On the third underground floor of the Six-Layer Manor, a sleeping ceremony has been prepared.

"You know, it's not time to rest yet." Xiamian refused Fuget.

Fugate did not force it, and turned into a breeze to blow on Xiamian's ears and hair.

"Then it's up to you."

"But promise me that after the tree breaks, you must fall into a deep sleep, otherwise the human heart will turn into a jackal that devours everything."

"The buds still need you, so listen to me. You must listen to me."

"As for now, Xia Mian, go to sleep, go to sleep, Xia Mian."

Fuget turned into a breeze and left Xiamian with whispers.

Xia Mian lay on the bed that appeared out of nowhere, and soon began to snore softly.
