Chapter 32, Scorched Earth in Dreams
"There are many underground caves here, and the monsters emerge from the underground." Another original god said.
Xia Mian nodded and rushed underground with Maomao.
A few weeks later, Charmian bursts out of the ground, unstained by dust.
The monsters underground here have been completely eliminated by Shamian, and Shamian has also carved a magic circle below to restrict space movement. There is no need to worry about the underground in this area in a short time.
Speaking of the underground, Charmian has a headache. There are too many underground caves in Xumi. Now these caves have all become sources of danger. Charmian can only solve some of them.
However, Charmian obviously came out at the wrong time. Not far away from where she appeared, the Colossus, the Rainforest Scholar Troops, the Gilded Brigade in the desert, and even Lanaro hiding in the dark, were all fighting against a huge number of monsters. Fight.
"It seems we came at the right time." Xia Mian said to Maomao.
The cat meowed twice in agreement.
Then one person and one cat rushed towards the monster.
The battle lasted for many days.
In the end, at the cost of the White Falcon Knights of the ancient Tuhe Kingdom being wiped out and the rest of the troops suffering heavy casualties, they completely eliminated most of the monsters.
"Is Kulu still alive?" After the battle of Charmian, he looked around for Kuru.
Her psychic powers tell him that Kuru is still alive, but something is not good.
"I didn't expect to survive either." Kulu was blind in one eye and complained while leaning on his new crutch.
"You don't look good," Charmian said.
"Meow meow~" Maomao also nodded, looking at Kuru with eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry too much. It's just that the loss is a bit big. It's much better than the other two old guys. After all, I'm just the commander. It's rare for me to kill the enemy myself." Kuru seemed to remember something trembling. He took out the potion and drank it.
But looking at the pile of corpses at his feet, it was obviously very unconvincing.
However, after taking the potion, Kulu's breath suddenly became much calmer, and Shamian felt relieved about him.
"Tonic potion, eternal god." Kuru adjusted his glasses and chirped twice with emotion.
Although nourishing potions were originally invented to make money, during the application process, they also discovered some other functions of nourishing potions, such as emergency replenishment of some trace substances that the body lacks.
The effect may be average for young people, but for elderly people like Kulu, it is almost like a miracle drug, and the effect is immediate.
"I feel more relieved to see that you are fine." Xia Mian said, "You take people back to Xumi City to rest, I still have things to do."
"Huh?"
"The Tree King sent a message." Xia Mian explained in a rare way.
"Is there another problem on any front?"
"There's a problem with Iron Sand Dunes. There's no problem with Fugate Mausoleum, but there are too many monsters."
The monsters directly used the sea of monsters to suppress the people in Fugate's mausoleum, and then a large number of monsters swarmed towards the sand wall defense line and Huanna Lanna.
Charmian left Maomao with Kulu, and then turned into lightning and disappeared. Maomao could be considered a high-end combat power, with more combat power than Kulu and his group of defeated soldiers combined.
"Advisor Kuru is here to summarize the battle after the war." A scholar from the Myōron sect said.
"Just do it yourselves and let this old man go." Kuru said speechlessly.
"You are also a former sage and now a war advisor. We must bring you along with us," another scholar said.
"Okay, lead the way."
"By the way, Advisor Kuru, our previous war changed a lot of terrain, and the Colossus was completely damaged. If this place is renamed, what do you think is a more appropriate name?" asked a scholar.
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be asked to a scholar of the Zhiron sect who came from Shiluo Bodan Academy? You are asking me, a sage of the Suron sect, if I have made a mistake." Kulu complained.
"The people who came from Shiluo Podan Academy are probably gone." The scholar lamented, "The monsters launched a surprise attack on their formation, and basically all of them died."
Kulu paused, then looked at the surrounding peaks and said: "That's it, then let's call this place the Demonic Mountain."
"Yes, Advisor Kuru."
On the other side, Huanna Lanna should not be called the Huanna Lanna of the past.
"It's still a step too late." Although Xia Mian hurriedly hurried, it was still a step too late. In other words, it was already too late since the Tree King was about to notify her.
The three ancient Lannaro sealed a large number of magical beasts into the dream.
"Thunder and Lightning Nala."
"?"
"Look here, Thunder Nala, here is the incarnation of Asura."
Following the guidance of the Carrot Spirit, Charmian killed all the monsters that blocked Lannaro's migration. Without any time to hesitate, Charmian rushed to Fugate's mausoleum.
Although the situation here is still not optimistic, they can continue to persevere thanks to sufficient water, food and logistics.
But now that the large army of Warcraft has been defeated, it is time to counterattack.
At least several large tribes want to return to their own oasis.
So Charmian began to preside over the counterattack.
The Imperial Academy has done a very good job in this regard.
They just provided supplies to the sand people, and then let the sand people take it back on their own.
However, there are also scholars who have been favored by the Sand People and have chosen to help the Sand People. Among them, the scholars of Samaniya are the main ones. The scholars of Samaniya have developed and grown during this period, and are not even weaker than the six major sects.
He even established his own gilded brigade armed "Correction Corps".
Because its leader is Nagajuna, this school is also called Nagajuna school.
······
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have made a decision." Fugate's consciousness realized that something big was about to happen, so he appeared in the Jingshan Palace.
"You are here. Your existence seems quite unique now, but that is not important." King Daci Shu said, "You are right. If you want to eradicate the power of the taboo, the only way is to forget."
"Then you want to try the power of 'forgetting'?" Fugate asked.
As the name that makes up his essence, it is also powerful. After sublimation, he controls the three powers of [Nothingness], [Happiness] and [Forgetting].
The three are mutually reinforcing and reinforcing each other, and Fugate balances them with the force of balance.
Fugate's purpose of helping King Daci Shu is very simple. You can help me tomorrow, and I will help you today.
Although you didn't succeed in crossing me, I just tried, and I may not be able to successfully cross you. He is here to return the favor.
"Then let's give it a try." King Daci Shu could easily sense that the other party had no ill intentions.
So he stretched out his hand.
"Burn memory, destroy history, annihilate the past, forget the present..." Fugate chanted the prayer of forgetfulness, and the gray-black aura entangled from his body towards the Great Merciful Tree King.
This is Fugate's power of forgetfulness, which has the ability to burn memories. Its external appearance is gray-black water and gray-black steam.
The Daci Tree King showed pain, but had no intention of stopping.
Not long after, King Daci Shu called Fugate to a stop.
"Useful, but not that useful." King Daci Shu commented, "Dealing with the general forbidden knowledge, your power can easily destroy it, but for the more advanced ones, your power is helpless."
Fugate nodded. This was because he was not strong enough.
Unless he now has the power after completing all the rituals, only then can he have an impact on those powerful forbidden knowledge.
"Then it seems I can't stop your plan." Fugate left with emotion.
"Your ability to predict is indeed outstanding." King Daci Shu also praised Fugate's excellence, "I haven't seen a prophet as good as you in a long time."
Xumi has a heritage of prophets, and there are many people who can make accurate divination and predictions, but there are really not many like Fugate. After Fugate left, King Daci Shu fell into meditation again.
after a while.
"His Majesty King Da Cishu, the troops who defeated a large number of monsters in the Demon Subduing Mountain have returned. The Great Sage asked if there would be a celebration to relieve the recent tension among the people."
"Just hold a relatively simple festival."
After some time.
"Your Majesty King Daci Shu, the number of dead areas in various places has exploded. The rangers suffered heavy losses in the war and it is too late to deal with it." The great sage said.
"I understand, dispatch more scholars to join the ranger system." His Majesty King Dacishu gave the instruction, "Let the Kuru Sage train the rangers."
Kulu's martial arts is not unparalleled in the world, but it can be regarded as very powerful. Among all mortals in Sumeru, he will definitely be ranked among the top five, and now he may be ranked among the top three.
After all, he fought the entire war with only one eye blind. The most important thing is that this eye was not injured by the monster, but the monster's attack broke Kuru's glasses, causing the glass to fly. Only then did he lose one eye.
In fact, if Kuru's glasses were thinner, he could completely avoid this attack... His glasses are 0.9cm thick.
"Yes." The great sage resigned.
After some time, a sage from the Sheng Lun sect came to see him.
"Your Majesty, the number of patients with magic scale disease recently admitted to the Health Home has increased significantly, and the analgesic drugs needed have increased significantly...or please allocate more H-pharmaceutical-type emotion-suppressing drugs."
"I understand, but these medicines are also needed on the front line. You inform the Su Lun Sect and the independent alchemists to hurry up and produce them, and then distribute a batch to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The situation is getting more and more serious." King Daci Shu looked at Xumi with kind eyes, "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 and the contract has been completed..."
In Fugate's tomb, the priest received Fugate's prophecy.
"Priest, how are you?" asked the iron sand tribe leader.
"Ahem~" The priest coughed twice and said, "The saint told me that we should leave here and find a gathering place again."
"Why?" the leader asked.
Although now is indeed a good time to occupy other oases, after all, everyone has been seriously damaged by the black monster disaster.
But compared to other oases, the leader still wants to stay here.
For no other reason than it is safe here.
Although most of the monsters in the Black Disaster have been eliminated, 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, it will be a massacre.
"Because the water source is about to dry up." The priest said, "The saint maintains such a huge power not without cost."
Fugate reinforced the space in the entire Iron Sand Dune area, consuming the power of the mausoleum's underground water veins.
But the power of this underground water vein is not unlimited. Although most water elements can be recycled, resisting for such a long time has also seriously depleted the underground water veins in the mausoleum.
It will take at least several decades to recover, and this is when there is no loss at all and full recovery is possible.
If the current life of more than 800 people (originally more than 1,000 people, more than 300 people died in the dark disaster), and the number of people does not grow, this underground water vein can support nearly a hundred years, but if the tribe absorbs Wander the sandfolk and grow the population.
Then it can last for decades at most, and if it absorbs a larger population, it can 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, and let the water veins here 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 several original tribes. There should be some scattered tribes there now, and their platoon of soldiers happened to go to collect them and take a look at the pollution of the water source caused by the Dark Disaster.
What the sand people hate the most about this dark disaster is its pollution of water sources.
Water is the lifeblood of the desert people. Fortunately, the divine bird Simog and the flower spirit clan appeared, and they used spiritual light to purify the water in the desert.
However, the divine bird Simog and the flower spirit clan appear most often in the two areas of Barren Rock Desert and Puluobo, and are far behind in other places.
Fortunately, the Shatie tribe has its own method. Their priests use rituals to use Fugate's strange power (spiritual energy) to form a special power of purification. This power is more restrained against the power of pollution. It only takes a little action to remove it. Its complete purification.
During the previous war, the warriors were able to get rid of the curse of the monster precisely because of the priest's purification.
The curse of monsters is very terrifying. If someone is obsessed with killing these monsters, then sooner or later he will become a monster (The King's Attendant Veredithern and Mond Justice/Blooded Knight Roland).
It is precisely because of this that Tiesha's tribe recovered so well after the war. Now, many warriors from other tribes are coming to lead people to join them.
"We will send elite personnel to stay here, and this place will become a stronghold." This is what the leader and priest promised to the people who stayed behind.
Most of those left behind were young soldiers and children.
These people are because the priest knows that only young people who are full of inspiration and emotions can reach the highest heaven where the Saint is, awaken the power (spiritual energy) given by the Saint, and accept the teachings of the Saint (referring to Foggai). knowledge radiated unconsciously).
Of course, even without this, the murals recording knowledge on the second floor of the mausoleum alone are precious enough.
There are six murals there, the first of which records the principles and detailed refining flow chart of [Fogate's Intellectual Development Potion], representing Fogate's highest achievement in the field of potion development and refining.
[Fugate Intellectual Development Potion] Even after many simplifications and standardizations, it is still not allowed to be attempted by alchemist masters who are not at their peak.
Among the potion formulas that Fugate arranged for Kuru to disclose after his death was [Fugate's Intelligence Development Potion], but why was this potion not popular in Xumi? Isn't it because only a small number of alchemist masters can carry out refining?
The second mural records the basic principles and some steps of "Fogate's Intellectual Development Treatment". This represents Fogate's highest achievements in consciousness and brain science. What Fogate is most satisfied with is that he used it to treat mental retardation. The method has been simplified and only requires a person with some knowledge of medicine and brain science to use it.
Only a part of this was announced in the Ecclesiastical Order, and the intelligence could be developed to the level of an ordinary genius at most, but what is engraved here is the complete version.
The third mural is a masterpiece that records Fugate's life-long swordsmanship. This cannot be changed. The weak can defeat the strong, the peerless swordsmanship and the perfect swordsmanship. Fugate has written down all the principles of his swordsmanship. Inscribed on the mural.
The fourth mural is the masterpiece of Fugate's research on elemental power. It discusses various applications of steam elements in detail, and also inscribes in the corner the Blood Moon Breathing Method, a method that allows people to break through the limits of the human body.
The fifth mural is a portrait of Fogate and six disciples, representing Fogate's highest achievement in education.
The portraits of these six disciples are not simple either. Fugate placed the disciples’ spirits in them to give birth to them.
The sixth mural is about biological enhancement technology, but because it is relatively taboo, Fugate only depicts some theoretical knowledge.
······
"You're here." Fugate's voice echoed in Sharmian's ears, "You must be very tired."
Xia Mian nodded. She was just a biologically enhanced person, and it was not true that she would not get tired.
"Go home and rest when you are tired." Fugate whispered, "I will protect you in our six-story manor. May your dream never end."
There are prepared sleeping rituals on the third underground floor of the Sixth Level Manor.
"You also know that now is not the time to sleep." Charmian rejected Fugate.
Fugate didn't force this, and turned into a breeze to blow Charmian's ears and hair.
"Then it's up to you."
"But promise me, after the tree breaks itself, it must fall into a deep sleep, otherwise the human heart will turn into a wolf that eats everything."
"The bud still needs you, so listen to me. You must listen to me."
"As for now, Charmian, sleep, sleep Charmian."
The breeze that Fugate turned into left Charmian with a whisper.
Xia Mian lay on the bed that appeared at an unknown time, and soon began to snore slightly.
