People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 17 Aftermath
The dead zone disappeared - in theory, the core of the dead zone must be broken by the grass element. Under the purest power, along with the forbidden knowledge, it was completely shattered by Xiaobai.

Looking at the spherical pit that was hundreds of meters deep below him, Lin Feng chose to temporarily forget the consequences it would bring.

Feeling Lanaro no longer struggling in his arms, Lin Feng touched him twice more - he had wanted to try it for a long time, and the feel was indeed good. Lin Feng found joy in the midst of suffering.

Looking at the still unconscious girl in his arms, Lin Feng pinched her limbs with a rigorous attitude to check if any limbs were missing.

——Looking at the packhorse with only one leg left, Lin Feng felt that the girl would understand.

After confirming that the girl was in good condition, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xiaobai, whose status has changed to "extremely hungry" and is undergoing a mass extinction, Lin Feng says he is tired and wants to destroy it.

Lin Feng vaguely knew from the beginning that this would be the final result.

——Except for oneself, all other living and non-living things around are destroyed.

Even though this was the minimum effort he had instructed Xiaobai to make, the destructive consequences were still somewhat unexpected.

The elements on Xiaobai's body are really too complicated. There are seven elements in total, and seven powerful skills with different attributes - some of which come from powerful people who are no less than gods.

Too many elements interfere with and merge with each other, making it extremely difficult for a novice to use just one element.

——Either use them together or don’t use them at all.

At first, I thought Xiaobai couldn’t control his power because his IQ was too low.

This conjecture is actually only partially correct, because even slimes can use their own power freely.

So, when Lin Feng finally figured this out, his attitude towards Xiaobai was to just be a mascot, otherwise Teyvat would disappear one day.

Although Lin Feng knew that there was an inexplicable connection between him and Xiaobai and he would not be harmed by its power, he still tried not to use it as much as possible. After all, power is conserved. After using power, even Xiaobai needs to replenish it, which manifests as an extremely hungry state.

Putting his worries behind him, Lin Feng used elemental power to build a vine bridge, and walked from the rock pillar under his feet to the side of the pit.

He took out the still trembling Lanaro from his arms.

Looking at the dark green hat, blue bow, and the recognizable green light shield, Lin Feng recognized the little guy in front of him.

"Lan Lana?"

Lin Feng called out its name tentatively.

"Wow!"

Lanlana let out a scream and continued to tremble.

"Hmm, little cabbages?" Lin Feng remembered the characteristics of these little guys and tentatively said a noun that they didn't like.

"It's not cabbage, it's Lanlana. Lanlana is a friend, it's Lanaro."

Although she was still scared just now, the moment she heard herself being called cabbage, Lan Lana straightened up and started to refute.

Lin Feng: "."

"As you can see, I came to the Death Realm to save the child in my arms. I will not harm you."

"So, you don't have to be so afraid of me."

Lin Feng knew that Lan Lana, as a very ancient Lanaro, was not that afraid of humans. She could adapt to human communication methods. "Nara Lin Feng is a good Nara. She defeated the big iron block and Wuliutuo. She is a hero."

Lan Lana replied candidly.

"Then why are you afraid of me?" Lin Feng was a little curious.

"Then La Linfeng was very rude. He held Lan Lana in his arms without her consent. Lan Lana was raped." Lan Lana replied, shaking her body.

Lin Feng: "."

I didn't expect this to be the reason. It was a mistake. I will dare to do it again next time.

"That was to protect you. Otherwise, even if you were Lanaro, if you were hit by the white light just now, you would probably disappear directly without even the chance to turn into a seed."

"Besides, where did you learn such a messed up word? That's not how you use the word 'defile'. Forget it right away, or you'll corrupt the children!"

Lin Feng explained while changing the subject.

"Ah, Lan Lana knows. Thank you, Nala Linfeng, for protecting Lan Lana. As for the shop, it's bad. Let's forget about it!" Lan Lana nodded, obviously convinced.

"I have a request. Can you keep everything that happened here confidential? Don't tell this "story" to other Lanaros and humans." Lin Feng said to Lan Lana.

"That La Lin Feng, you defeated the big iron block and Wu Liutuo, you are a hero, I agree to keep you a secret."

The simple Lan Lana agreed easily.

"Alas, it's 'keep it secret', not 'hold a secret'. Forget it, as long as you know the meaning." Lin Feng complained helplessly.

"Can you explain the situation? Why are you here?"

Back to the main topic, Lin Feng was very curious why Lan Lana knew the girl from Liyue.

"Nala Yunlu is a kind and good Nala who can sing various songs for Lan Lana. We are friends." Lan Lana replied.

During the chat with Lan Lana, Lin Feng slowly learned everything:
It turned out that the uncle outside came to Omos Port to find a friend this time. The black-haired girl named Yunlu had never left Liyue, so she begged the uncle to take her to Xumi. Perhaps because she had been studying in the academy, she still had a childish heart. When passing by Vimalakirti Manor, she met Lanlana who had been wandering nearby.

Because the girl loved music and was also interested in Lanlana's songs, they became friends after a few interactions.

This time, on the way from Vimo Manor to Huachengguo, Lan Lana stayed with the girl all the time. When the adults were not around, she would secretly play with Yunlu, who had no friends. Who knew that on the way from the uncle to Huachengguo, the Death Zone suddenly appeared, and Yunlu was taken into the depths of the Death Zone because of the frightened packhorse. Although Lan Lana helped the girl avoid monsters along the way, she was still blocked in the core of the Death Zone by the Flying Dragon Beast.

Lin Feng knew everything that happened next - the uncle who lost his daughter was extremely anxious, but he couldn't find anyone to turn to in the forest. When he saw Lin Feng who took the initiative to come forward, he was naturally excited. He only had this one daughter, and in order to persuade Lin Feng, he was willing to give away all the property of the caravan and even wanted to kneel down to Lin Feng.

After figuring out everything, Lin Feng asked Lan Lana to help cover up the traces here as much as possible, and then he returned with Yun Lu in his arms to find the uncle who was still in the forest.

Because this rescue was so exciting.

——The exhausted Lin Feng obviously didn’t notice that the girl in his arms’ breathing had become a little disordered since just now.

On the way back, Lin Feng calculated the gains and losses of this action. Needless to say, he lost things - Xiaobai who became hungry again, a small piece of rainforest that was completely destroyed, his own clothes, and most importantly, the sequelae that this incident would cause.

The harvest was actually beyond Lin Feng's expectations. In addition to successfully rescuing the uncle's daughter, he completely destroyed such a high-level dead zone. Although no gorgeous treasure chest popped up, Lin Feng still gained a gift from the earth veins - reflected on the panel, it was a large amount of energy enough to upgrade 7 levels.

Walking on the road, Lin Feng looked at the petite girl with her eyes closed in his arms, gazing at the girl's soft outline and Liyue face that was completely different from most Xumi people.

Feeling the long-lost sense of familiarity in his heart, Lin Feng let out a long sigh and did not feel any regrets - even if he had to do it again, he would probably still make the same choice.
