The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 87, Sky Nail

"Come to think of it, there is indeed less black mud this time than the last time we came here," said Fugate.

"Do you know exactly what happened?"

Haidi briefly introduced the research results of himself and others.

"Hmm~ So that's how it is." Fuget nodded. "As a junior of the Sulun School, you've done well."

Fuget took out a lot of potions from his own divine domain as rewards for Hedif and others.

"Come to think of it, how come there's another treasure-stealing gang member here?" Fugate took a curious look at the strangely dressed man.

"This guy is the pharmacist of the treasure-stealing group, but for some reason he was hunted down by others."

"Brother Kong suggested keeping him and then handing him over to the Thousand Rocks Army," said Haidifu.

Through the conversation, Fuget also learned that Khediv was sent here because of a cooperation project between the House of the Decrees and the Seven Stars and Eight Gates.

This expedition to the Stratum Chasm came here under the name of Khediv, but it should be able to be transformed into a formal organization of the Pyroxene Hall in the future.

Others can also get formal establishment.

Well~ Actually, most of the people in the Layered Abyss Expedition Team came here for this organization.

"When will the two adventurers be able to come back?" asked Fugate.

"It should be... soon." said Khediv.

In fact, he was not sure when the two gentlemen would be able to come back.

The main reason is that there is basically no communication in the depths of this rock abyss.

And you can't yell, because yelling might cause a collapse.

Therefore, everyone spoke as quietly as possible.

"I'm back." said Xia Mian.

"?"

"I mean, there were two footsteps coming from over there. It should be the so-called adventurer and part-time cartographer Miss Zhiqiong and the great adventurer Mr. Kong who have returned." Xia Mian said.

Sure enough, not long after, Fugate also heard the footsteps.

As expected of a Tinaler, he has a natural good hearing.

Not long after, everyone saw Kong supporting Zhiqiong.

"Who are you?" Kong looked at Fugate and Xiamian, who were wearing huge power armor, with some caution.

"Don't worry." Hedifu said, "These two are scholars from our Xumi. You can call them Mr. and Mrs. Fugate."

"Girl, it looks like the situation is not good." Xia Mian said, looking at Zhiqiong's pale face.

"It made everyone worried."

"It looks like you need to rest well." Fugate said, "But the recovery speed can be accelerated."

The Eye of the Water Elemental God on the chest of Fugate's power armor emits a bright blue light.

Immerse in Zhiqiong's body.

Zhiqiong recovered after a while.

"Young man, tell me what you have discovered," said Fuget. "We are also here to investigate the Layered Abyss."

Sora nodded and began talking about what happened deep in the abyss.

"That's it." Sora said.

"A huge crystal? It really makes people worry." Fugate and Xiamian looked at each other.

Almost in an instant, the two of them thought of the source that affected the Supreme Heaven and prevented it from expanding in the Abyss of Rocks.

Two huge power armors disappeared from everyone's sight.

Then the foul air rushed in.

"???" Kong Hezhiqiong almost coughed out his lungs.

The sparrow in the birdcage on the side also felt hopeless.

"What's going on?" Kong asked.

He was just wondering why the air in the camp was much better than outside.

"It's the power of witchcraft." Hedi said, "Fortunately, I have prepared for this. Let's go to my tent to discuss the matter. I bought an air purification device from Mrs. Fugate."

Uh~ this so-called air purifier is actually a device in the helmets of Fgate and Shamian. It works very well when used by one person, but the effect is average when used by multiple people.

But even so, it is much better than the polluted air outside.

······
While fiddling with the bolter in his hand, Fugate looked at Xiamian who was holding the power drill.

"Speaking of which, Xia Mian, did you have a psychic vision again this time?"

"Not really. I just completed the previous prophecy with Dainsleb." Xiamian said, "It's better not to make a prophecy."

"Why do you think the prophecy cannot be changed after it is seen?"

"Of course it can be changed," said Fugate. "Generally speaking, there is no such thing as absolute in the world."

"As long as your prediction ability is strong enough, and you can evolve from single world line prediction to parallel world observation, that will be enough."

"...You'd better tell me something honest." Xia Mian was speechless. Even Fugate had not yet achieved the observation of parallel worlds.

With her limited spiritual power, it's impossible for her to do that.

Fugate smiled, then changed the subject and told Xia Mian the purpose of his visit.

And he explained the general principle orally.

I don’t know if what Fugate said was too shocking.

In the darkness behind the two people, the water element fluctuated slightly.

Then a figure quickly jumped to the side.

The next moment after jumping out, the power impact drill that was originally in Xiamian's hand appeared in the dark place.

"The little mouse that's following me." Fugate raised his eyebrows and said.

"You're a little careless." Xiamian, who used psychic control to recall his power drill (spear), said, "When will you be more serious, man?"

"Isn't this discovered?" Fugate muttered.

Fuget was not polite: "Six Water Magic!"

"Water Binding."

"This is a... uh... lady."

"Let's leave the interrogation to you, Xia Mian." said Fugate.

With psychic powers, interrogation is still very fast.

"Fuget, it seems a little bad. This is half of Liyue's official personnel." Xiamian said helplessly, withdrawing his hand.

"What did you do to me?" Ye Lan asked in confusion.

"Miss Ye Lan, please be patient. We are not enemies."

Ye Lan: “…”

Although I don’t know what just happened to me, the identity I’m currently using is not my original one.

As a result, people called out my real name directly.

Ye Lan knew without thinking that her information had been leaked.

Now we can only pray that these two people are really not enemies.

"Ye Lan?"

"I seem to have heard of it." Fuget said, "I seem to have heard of this name when I was discussing business with Tianquanxing before."

"···" Ye Lan also recalled that she had collected some information.

I also know who these two guys are.

Nathan Rice H. Fugate and Shamian Fugate Hermanubis.

If it was these two, then I can understand why I was beaten so badly...
What kind of understanding is that? After all, Ye Lan was able to briefly fight against the Rich Man, the executive officer of the Winter Fatui.

In the entire Liyue territory, except for some old immortals, they are relatively powerful among all beings.

I didn't even have the ability to fight back in front of them. Are these two people so strong now?

Finally, the two sides reached a common goal after friendly consultations.

Ye Lan showed the two the way to the huge crystal.

The two of them were enlightening Ye Lan on her spiritual power.

Well~ the main reason why Ye Lan thought of these two people was because it was said that these two people had information about developing other people's psychic abilities.

Currently, no one in the entire Liyue has this ability except Mr. Zhong in the Wangsheng Hall.

However, there are quite a lot of people who have awakened their psychic powers, the most famous of which is Walnut.

As the leader in the funeral industry, Hu Tao's psychic power can allow souls, wronged spirits, evil spirits and the like to be reborn directly.

This resulted in a lot more commissions for exorcism at Hu Tao's Wangsheng Hall.

It was these commissions that revealed Mr. Zhong's ability to enlighten people's psychic powers.

Not many people would go to Mr. Zhong for spiritual enlightenment, because it really costs a lot of money.

However, there is no regular pattern for the awakening of psychic power, so among the current Liyue high-level officials, except for Ganyu, the half-immortal who has awakened psychic power, the others have not yet awakened. The group walked in silence on the rugged stone road.

"The huge crystal is in front." Ye Lan said.

The few of them walked a few hundred steps and entered a huge cave, where a huge crystal stone was floating in the air.

The huge crystal emitted a light that was exactly the same as the lumen crystal used for lighting.

"Sure enough...it's the Sky Nail." Fuget touched his chin and looked at the Sky Nail in front of him.

"System brother, it's time to do some work. Please identify it."

[Heavenly Nail, a four-star wonder, has the ability to repair the world's wounds.]

[Under that nail, %#…# is suppressed, a monster with the ability to interfere with information is suppressed. Damn, it even dares to interfere with me. 】

A green light that only Fuget could see shot under the sky nail.

Fugate seemed to hear faint screams.

【We're done. 】

"Can you go out now?"

[No, I modified a projection of a fraudster and threw it out to hit someone]

The Deceiver is a Star God who distorts the physical rules of reality and dictates all kinds of idealism and bells and whistles.

"···If I want to study the Sky Nail, do you have any suggestions?"

[There are still some. The Sky Nail is divided into two parts, the outer shell and the blue crystal inside. ]

[You want to study them all, right?]

Fergate nodded.

From Ye Lan and Xia Mian's perspective, after Fuget said "It is indeed the Heavenly Nail", he fell into deep thought.

They didn't know whether to disturb Fuget's thoughts, so they exchanged some information.

Ye Lan said that she saw a giant mechanical snake.

Xia Mian said that he knew that the giant mechanical snake should be Kanriya's underground digging mechanism.

Then Xia Mian asked about various information about the dark power.

Ye Lan told Xia Mian that this was probably a hole where dark disasters poured in during a war five hundred years ago.

Her elders had records of that battle.

Xia Mian expressed his admiration for the courage of Ye Lan's ancestor and talked about the details of his own battle against the dark disaster.

Ye Lan: “…”

So it seems that you have personally participated in this war.

Now Ye Lan finally understood why Tianshu Xing felt a little upset when he mentioned these two people.

I should look for information about these two people when I go back, but if I want more detailed information, I probably have to go to Xumi.

I hope I can find it.

As the two were chatting, they saw Fugate take action. No one knew what he did, but a stone emitting a faint blue light appeared in front of the three.

"This is? Raw ore."

"It's the fragments of the Sky Nail..." Fugate corrected.

"There are runes in it that you can't see, so this is a creation of the gods, not some kind of mineral." said Fugate.

As he spoke, Fuget pointed his huge mechanical finger at the stone.

A little bit of blue runes appeared in front of everyone.

"What is this? Achmar's rune technology?" Xiamian recognized some of it.

"It is said that King Akhmar of the Sand is a relic of Sky Island. Now it seems that they are indeed related." Fugate said, "This Sky Nail is used by Sky Island to repair the wounds of the world. You can send someone to report this to the Seven Stars later."

Ye Lan said helplessly: "It's not suitable for humans to go this deep underground."

"Maybe we can use some mechanical creations or something." Fuget said, "In any case, someone still needs to guard it. After all, if someone destroys this place, then the next black mud crisis will definitely break out."

"···You are right." Ye Lan nodded to indicate that Fugate was right.

After all, he is about to become a god, and he probably has no mood to make fun of a small person like her.

Even if we don't set up a permanent base here, we should at least send people to patrol here regularly.

Moreover, this matter should not be a headache for her as an intelligence officer. If there is a headache, it should be that guy Ningguang from Tianquan Star.

After collecting the stone samples in containers, Fuget and Xiamian said goodbye.

The machine spirit has recorded the route, and now they should go back.

······
The two of them took off their power armor only after they returned to the ground.

"The air up there is still better. Even with the witchcraft used to purify the air in the mine, it's still a little unbearable."

"Speaking of which, Xia Mian, why did you explore so deeply? Logically speaking, you should just fulfill the prophecy, right?"

Xia Mian scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I am mainly curious about the thing that can block the Supreme Heaven." Xia Mian said, "and I am still a little concerned about the black beast tide."

In fact, if the Abyss Cult did not bear the name of the Abyss and had an inseparable connection with the Black Beast Dynasty, Xiamian would not have insisted on it.

She had always been somewhat skeptical about where the dark beast dynasty from the depths of the abyss came from.

Now that I have obtained some information from Ye Lan, I have cleared up some of my doubts.

But this doubt also gave rise to many new doubts.

Fortunately, Xia Mian is not in a hurry about this. He just needs to slowly analyze these doubts by himself. There will always be a day when he will get the answer.

"We always have enough time," said Fugate with a smile, "and there is no need to rush for this kind of thing. The questions will always be answered one day."

The two quickly returned to Xumi, and Fuget handed the "Method of Becoming a God" to Xiamian.

Xia Mian's choice did not exceed Fugate's expectations. She chose the fields of thunder element and creation (alchemy). She really likes alchemy.

The two had just set foot in the territory of Huacheng.

Then I received a message from Nashida.

"Mr. Fugate, and Xia Mian, please come to Jingshan Palace."

Fugate and Xiamian looked at each other.

"It seems that the scattered soldiers and the doctor are quite fast." said Fugate.

"So are you ready to agree?" asked Xia Mian.

"Of course~" Fuget said, "As long as everything is under the control of His Majesty the Little Lucky Grass King."

"What's more...aren't there some guys who can back you up?"

That Achmar is said to have regained some of his strength, at least he has eliminated his cat ears.

Otherwise, with those cat ears... Fugate would die of laughter just thinking about it.

Whether it is the Great Compassion Tree King, Akhmara or Ahe Apep, all three are members of the Sumeru Support Group.

If there is a problem, we can all take action.

Even if the other two except Apep cannot appear in the world for a long time, they can still appear in the world for a short time, and they can also burst out powerful demon-level combat power in the world.

Not to mention Apep, who finally built a complete ecological environment in a natural underground cavity of Yalilo-VI. He was recognized by the planet Yalilo-VI, and his strength was restored to the level of a complete dragon.

Although he may not be as strong as Tenli and the Four Shadows, his strength is definitely not inferior to the Seven Consuls wearing crowns.

The two of them then greeted Tinari first, and by the way, Xia Mian took out the new version of the training plan.

The next moment, the two of them arrived at Jingshan Palace.

"Long time no see, Your Majesty." Fugate and Xiamian bowed slightly to Nashida.

Nashida told the story that Sanbing and the Doctor had arrived at Xumi with the Heart of Thundergod and were ready to start cooperation.

Although Nashida has not made up her mind about this matter, she has already leaned towards it.

The reason why they were asked to come here was naturally to show their support.

"If it's for the sake of the platform, I might not be suitable." Fugate said, "After all, I also hold a position in the Fatui."

"But it should be okay if we call those guys over." Fuget called out.

After a while, Hetala appeared first, followed by Batu, Baanka, Samel and Kuru also appeared in the Jingshan Palace.

Everyone bowed slightly to the little auspicious grass king.

The little auspicious grass king also returned the gift, saying that these were all seniors.

They were all the hands of old men who had followed His Majesty the Great Merci Tree King.

And each of them is very powerful...

According to the system's evaluation, the current strength of these people is between LV89 and LV90.

Although he is considered the weaker one among them, he is not much weaker than the current young master. He is more than enough to be used as a platform.

"Now we have enough manpower."

"I will not participate in the subsequent negotiations." Fugate bowed slightly and retreated to a side hall of Jingshan Palace.
