The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 5, Journey

Before re-entering the state of self-destruction, Fuget's consciousness gave his self-destruction state a reference and took the route of Kawanyi - Zen Garden - Xumi City.

Well, after looking at the map of Kawanyi, Fugate found that it could only be used as a reference.

The real Xumi is not just a place with a few towns.

In fact, as one of the seven countries, there are dozens of towns in its rainforest area alone that are comparable to prosperous places like Kawanyi.

There are also two or three super prosperous cities second only to Port Omos and Xumi City.

Of course, the most prosperous one is Xumi City. After all, no matter how three-dimensional other cities are, they can never reach the level of Xumi City.

You should know that there are not only six major colleges in Xumi City, but also several prosperous commercial streets, several residential areas, a large hospital, a port, and even several villages in the suburbs of Shugen.

Although he had never seen Xumi City, Fuget could imagine how magnificent the real Xumi City was just by listening to the description.

Of course, although he could imagine it, Fugate still had no emotions. He just walked alone on the road in the rainforest in a dull manner.

The road in the middle of the rainforest does not look very obvious. Because the grass and trees inside grow too fast, Fugate needs to check again every time he walks for a while to see if he has gone astray.

By the way, Fugate also tried the Four-Leaf Seal, a unique way of traveling for the Xumi people, and it was a very magical feeling.

But unfortunately, there are not many such four-leaf seals, and they are very difficult to find. Many of them are located in dangerous places in mid-air. Unless you have the Wings of Wind, using them rashly is likely to cause accidental casualties.

When Fugate used the Four-Leaf Seal, he watched a passing ranger use it, and then completed an attempt with the ranger's help.

This thing requires the use of elemental power to be used freely, but rangers and some adventurers can also use it after using elemental potions and the like. However, according to the rangers, even if they have mastered this method, they still run on the ground most of the time.

But then Fuget separated from the ranger again. After all, their routes did not overlap. After they separated, Fuget encountered his first crisis not long after entering the rainforest. The crisis did not come from robbers or monsters.

Instead, it comes from a ferocious beast living in the rainforest area, the maned tiger. A single maned tiger is not dangerous, but a beast like the maned tiger, which should theoretically live alone, can only survive in Teyvat by living in a group.

So the mandibled tiger that Fugate encountered was not just one, but a group of them, and there was another word to accompany them - they were starving, and their stomachs were visibly empty.

"Ah~ How embarrassing." Fugate's desire to survive once again awakened his consciousness.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he quickly ate the NZT-48. Then, Fugate picked up a knife and killed many tigers. Two of the group of mandarin tigers, which meant one third of them were dead, and then he retreated.

Of course, the damage caused by Fugate was not limited to this. Three mandarin tigers were also injured by the knife. Otherwise, these beasts would not have retreated so easily.

Fuget was also slightly injured, but not seriously. After taking out the prepared medicine and treating his wound, Fuget hurried away. The smell of blood in the rainforest would not only attract wild beasts, but might also attract monsters.

Before Fuget left, he saw a large group of crown-of-thorns crocodiles heading in that direction.

Unlike the three pieces of meat in the game, the real crown-of-thorns crocodile is much more difficult to deal with. Its leather is very strong and is the main source of leather armor for mercenaries in rainforests and deserts.

Then Fuget saw a group of Hilichurls again. It was probably that only the Hilichurls in the whole rainforest were so bold as to march forward with torches in their hands. While Fuget was thinking about all sorts of things, he was quickly understanding the knowledge recorded in his mind.

Soon Fugate had learned about the collection of brain science books.

Subsequently, the two-star ability·Photographic Memory, the two-star ability·Memory Palace, the two-star ability·Lucid Dream, and the one-star ability·Meditation have all been mastered by Forget.

And by analyzing the language of the scholars, Fugate also initially learned to listen to and read the Xumi language (rainforest area). At least some daily communication should not be a problem. Next, he just needs to learn the shape and writing of the characters to almost completely master the Xumi language.

[There is a treasure chest, and there is no danger around.] The system prompts that there is a treasure chest around Fuget.

"I see. I should have bought some raw stones from Kawanyi earlier." Fugate was still in the mood to complain about himself for making the plan.

Unfortunately, in his self-destructive state, Fuget had no flexibility at all and his mind was too rigid.

Fget sensed that the route there was the same as his own, so he quickly went over to check it out.

After getting a raw stone, Ferget nodded and let the system absorb it directly.

[It is better to gather everyone's strength to purchase the raw stones.] The system also agreed with Fugate's idea. If he tried to collect the raw stones alone, he would probably be exhausted.

Fuget took the time to check his panel and found that the power of prayer seemed to be a little more than expected.

The system seemed to have noticed it as well.

[In addition to absorbing these ownerless wishes that reside in the original stone, the power of prayer can also absorb the beliefs and faiths that are entangled around the host to transform. ]

"Yes, that's true." Ferget nodded, pushed away the leaves above his head, opened another treasure chest, and took away everything inside.

Then he took a look at the long-haired tigers napping on the tree and left quickly. The long-haired tigers here were obviously living a much better life than the ones he had encountered before, and each of them had a bulging belly.

While their aggressiveness decreased, the attack power of these guys obviously became stronger, and Fuget didn't want to provoke them.

[The quality of these beliefs and faiths is not very high, and the number is not large, so the increase is very limited. ]

"Why do I feel like we're a little off the main road?" Fugate complained while camping.

[No, look behind you, it's a rotten road sign.]

The words "Shui Tian Cong Lin" were written on it in Sumeru language.

"It looks like we are heading in the right direction. We should be able to reach our first stop soon," said Fuget.

[How did you last so long this time?] The system asked curiously.

"On the one hand, it's because of the influence of the environment, and on the other hand, the knowledge I learned played a certain role." Fuget said, "But even so, I can't hold on for long."

After a few more days, Fuget's consciousness also lasted for a few more days with the help of his strong desire to survive.

When Fuget saw the light appear in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief. His tense nerves relaxed instantly, and then he switched to a self-destructing state almost instantly. He walked towards the village with an expressionless face like a zombie.

Lights in the rainforest generally indicate human settlements in the rainforest area.

The lights here are not the electric lights that Fugate knows. In the rainforest, there are two common types of street lights. One is the conventional street light. Scholars have improved the structure of the street light to make it easier to add lamp oil. This type of street light is called the light of sleeping dew.

The other is a street lamp that is hung with natural plant fluorescent material and is called the Green Light.

Because its fluorescent substance is concentrated, the light emitted by it is much brighter than that of ordinary fluorescent plants.

The light that Fugate saw was emitted by this street lamp called the Green Light.

The self-destructing Fuget was traveling much faster than the conscious Fuget, and soon arrived at the outskirts of the village.

An arrow was stuck at Fuget's feet. Fuget had already noticed the arrow, but because the opponent did not aim, Fuget was too lazy to dodge.

"Who are you?" said a man dressed like the Gilded Brigade.

Although he was dressed like a member of the Gilded Brigade, this man was clearly a rainforest person.

Behind him is a sturdy villager holding a crossbow.

"I am a scholar from Kanreya. This time I am going to Xumi City to study. Here is my letter of recommendation." Fuget handed the letter of recommendation from the scholar Elomini to the man dressed in the Gilded Brigade.

The man glanced at it and returned the letter of recommendation to Fugate.

"It doesn't look fake. What are you doing here? But you still need to let the village chief take a look later."

"From Kawanyi to Xumi City, we took the route of Zenna Garden, so we naturally passed by." Fuget said after putting away the recommendation letter. "Then you went a little off the track." The mercenary put away his bow and arrows, and then signaled the villagers to put away their crossbows as well. "This place is still a little far from the main trade route, and few caravans take this road."

After listening to the mercenary, Fuget realized that he seemed to have deviated from his original route due to the difference in vision.

The original village on that route was called An Ning, and now this small village is called Qu Diao, which can be considered as the interior of the Shuitian Jungle.

The original route was to pass by the edge of the Shuitian jungle.

"Village chief, someone is coming." said the mercenary standing in front of a tree house.

"Who is it?" A strong voice came from the tree house.

"A traveler passing by." said the mercenary.

"So, traveler, what do you want?" the village chief asked, looking at Fuget.

"Just a place to rest." Fugate had been sleeping in the wild for several days in a row.

"There are still a few vacant rooms in the village. I hope you don't mind."

"How about 1k Mora? I only need to rest for one night. In addition, I need you to provide me with some clean water and dry food. The dry food is at a separate price." Some of Fuget's dry food was lost in the battle with the mantis tiger, but Fuget was not going to eat the dry food they provided right away. Who knows if there will be any problem.

The village chief nodded and said, "No problem, this price is enough for one night's stay in the village."

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Fugate re-bandaged his wounds, changed the bandages, had a hot breakfast, and then packed up to leave.

"Are you up so early?" the mercenary on night watch asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have been eager to acquire new knowledge." Fugate said expressionlessly. The mercenary shuddered. This boy was too evil.

"Then take care." The mercenary watched Fuget leave.

In fact, the consciousness also thought about whether to let the self-destructing state of Fget disguise himself as a normal person.

But unfortunately, the state of eyes in a self-destructive state cannot be faked at all.

Careful people will not give up observing the eyes, so it is basically impossible to hide it. Since it cannot be concealed, then just don't hide it.

Fuget's consciousness was set, and if anyone asked, this was an accident caused by one of his experiments going out of control.

The journey was easier from then on. It took Fugate a week to get back to the main road as the mercenary said. Fortunately, he did not encounter any danger during that week.

The most dangerous thing might be encountering a group of passing mushroom beasts?

These fungal creatures are basically harmless as long as you don't disturb them or get too close to them.

However, soon after entering the main road, Fuget was attacked by monsters.

Only after dealing with these annoying hillbillies can Fugate get back on the road.

"Do I look so easy to bully?" Fuget once again dodged the hacking Hill Culvert thug with a speechless look on his face.

The machete was sent into the head of the Hilliard thug. Fugate withdrew from the battle circle, bypassed several trees, and disappeared in the encirclement of the Hilliard people.

After leaving danger, Fuget quickly fell into a state of self-destruction.

This time, since the situation was not very urgent, Fuget did not use NZT-48, and relied on his own wisdom to escape from the encirclement of the hill people.

After entering the main road, Fugate became very unlucky and was often robbed by hill people.

Perhaps because they saw that Fuget was alone and easier to rob, the hill people always came to Fuget in groups of three or five.

There were also several times when Fuget encountered multiple Hilichurls alone, among which there were often two more powerful types of Hilichurls: Shaman and Thug.

Among them, the shamans are relatively safe as long as they are not allowed to chant spells or perform rituals.

But it's different with thugs. Fuget can still deal with some of the Hillichur thugs who have just become thugs, but some of the Hillichur thugs who have been thugs for a long time and have rich combat experience cannot be dealt with even by Fuget. If he encounters them, he can only retreat urgently.

When the Hillicre Shaman and the Hillicre Thug appeared together, Fuget ran away without even looking back.

To deal with a group of Hillilks of this size, you often need a whole team of fully armed Gilded Brigade mercenaries. If you want to fight alone, you must at least have core mercenaries, that is, elite mercenaries who are equipped with broken Eredr weapons.

When he was at Kawanyi, Fuget's consciousness drove the system to identify the backbone of these mercenaries.

Even if they don't use the weapons of the Evil Spirit, they are still at the level of LV40+. After using the weapons of the Evil Spirit, they will gain extremely powerful enhancement. According to the system's estimation, they can be about LV50+. According to the local classification, they have broken through an entire major level. Taking into account the blessing of elemental force on damage, the damage caused can even be comparable to that of a LV60 strong man.

Of course, understanding the impact and cost caused by Feng'e Ling is also huge. The system describes the lives of those people as candles in the wind.

Although they look very strong, the source of their life has been over-consumed. Those who use broken Erlang weapons are still fine, but those who use complete Erlang weapons have already had their lives completely controlled by the Erlang weapons.

More than a month passed in a flash, and Fuget, who was in a state of self-destruction, came to the Zen Garden with a gloomy face.

Fugate encountered countless monsters along the way, but of course he did not gain nothing. He obtained more than forty treasure chests along the way, most of which were ordinary treasure chests, and some were exquisite treasure chests.

It’s a pity that there are many treasure chests on the road that are locked by monsters. If you don’t kill those monsters, the magic locks on the treasure chests cannot be opened.

Fgate looked a little too thin, mainly because he had eaten up all his dry food in the last few days and hadn't hunted any prey.

So he could only force himself to keep on going. In the last few days, Fugate ate the food he had looted from Mr. Thief.

This is mainly because Mr. Fugate's recent appetite is not on the same order of magnitude as before. With a lot of exercise and frequent injuries that require recovery, Fugate wants to ensure that he can survive well in the rainforest, so he cannot be stingy with such a little dry food.

Fget's appetite now is more than twice as much as before, so the dry food that was originally sufficient became a little scarce in the end.

Especially at the last few resting places, the villages there did not have any extra rations to give to Fuget.

It’s not that the villages are so indifferent, but the crops grown in those villages are not their own, and their own food rations have been a bit tight recently.

Except for a small part of the crops they planted which belonged to them, most of them were actually grown and experimented by the scholars in the Zen Garden.

The surrounding wild beasts and most of the monsters were also eliminated by the thirty-man mercenaries and other rangers.

So Fuget couldn't even supplement his food by hunting.

Fortunately, at that time, Fugate was not far from Zen Garden. In addition to being Amyrido's botanical garden, Zen Garden was also a small town for exchanging materials. A large number of scholars, caravans and mercenaries gathered here.

But the town was built around the Zen garden.

(The Zen Garden is a garden of meditation. It is relatively quiet inside. There are mercenaries patrolling, students and scholars, and a botanical garden in the middle)

Only scholars of Amilta can enter the botanical garden of the Zen Garden, and others tacitly agree not to disturb these scholars.

"Buy dry food." Fugate said in a hoarse voice.

After buying the dry food, Fuget came to the small stall next to him and asked for some peaches, a gilded pot and a pocket cake.

In the self-destructive state, Fuget chose some of the most cost-effective meals and fruits, and then ate them quickly. The sugar and Dun Dun peaches made Fuget recover quickly.

Then Fuget went to recuperate. According to his consciousness, if possible, Fuget could join the team of scholars here and go to Xumi City, which would be much easier.
