Feeling that the energy in his body was gradually filling, Xue Kui decided to put aside his doubts for the time being and solve the current powerful enemy first.

Opening his eyes, Xue Kui looked at Xirui who was not far away, and found that there were only a few faint phantoms on the blue cold fire on the opponent's shoulders, the armor was still in tatters, and even the arms were It was only half fixed and I almost laughed out loud.

He definitely didn't do it on purpose, but suddenly found that the away game has become the home game, and it's hard not to be happy about it.

With leisure, Xuekui even took a special look at the blue ore beside him when he got up, wanting to confirm whether there was any distortion on his body like that of the Qiuqiu people and Xirui.

Everything seems to be working fine except...

Xue Kui raised his hand and touched his left eye. He felt nothing special, as if the blue flame dancing on his left eye was just an illusion.

Having just obtained this kind of energy, Xue Kui didn't know much about its effect, so he immediately decided to use his familiar fighting methods to solve the battle.

After removing the ice wall in front of him, Xuekui walked towards Xirui.

Xirui, who noticed Xuekui's movement, made the alien flowers in front of him release spikes again, but this time they were immediately pierced by the flying ice spear, and immediately sealed by the ice.

After crossing these strange flowers, Xue Kui came to the king they guarded.

Sensing that Xuekui was approaching, Xirui struggled to stand up, and the chaotic energy that had not yet recovered was thrown into the armor again.

It's just that the energy pulse this time didn't push Xue Kui away, instead he held part of it in his hands.

Seeing that the energy pulse was invalid, Xirui raised his knife and rushed towards Xuekui, but his broken body could not allow him to maintain the previous high speed.

Facing the "slowly" attacking Xirui, the remaining energy in Xuekui's hand evolved into a light blue light gun, and the light gun as an energy body suddenly extended out, piercing through Xirui's chest.

This time, no one can block the attack for it.

The light gun that pierced through Xirui did not stop until it pushed Xirui's body against a boulder.

After that, the other four light guns that followed immediately pinned down Xirui's limbs, making it completely still while it was still struggling.

After hesitating for a moment, Xue Kui's raised hand made a sword-pointing gesture.

Unlike the Qiuqiu people, this Fan Wang is already a product of the black mud outside the boundary, and he cannot be merciful.

In the left eye swaying with blue flames, a shadow of a crescent moon rose. Following Xue Kui's soft drink, the five light guns nailed to Xirui's body glowed brightly.

In the dazzling blue moonlight, the pitch-black armor was slowly disintegrating and dissipating.

Even though Shirui was able to use chaotic energy because of Shirin, he was still a product of black mud after all, and had little resistance to the power of purification.

In the light, the brass mask on Xirui's face gradually melted away, finally revealing a rather handsome and shy face.

The handsome young king cast his eyes on Xue Kui, and Xue Kui noticed that the other party seemed to have regained a little consciousness at this last moment.

Maybe this is because the black mud has been purified almost?

In any case, this young king deserves praise.

"If it's you, maybe you can guide the subjects to create an era of human beings that the Scarlet King expects."

"He's not a bad king, Shirui."

There was a hint of surprise on Xirui's face, then he showed a cheerful smile, and finally fell into nothingness.

Xue Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

Won, but not easy to win.

A clanging sound attracted Xue Kui's attention. It turned out to be the purple scimitar that Hiruyi had been holding in his hand.

Ever since Shirene, who resided in it, merged into Xirui's body, the scimitar lost its original luster.

Xue Kui stared at the scimitar for a long time, and finally walked towards it slowly.

......

A moment later, the purple scimitar was stuck on the rock where Xirui died, and it was regarded as a machete.

And Xue Kui was standing under the huge space rift, looking up at it in trouble.

He has tried every method he could think of, but none of them can affect this open crack.

The only good news is that this crack is healing itself. This is probably Teyvat's self-healing mechanism.

The bad news is that at this recovery rate, a rough estimate would take hundreds of years for such a huge crack to fully heal itself.

Realizing this, Xue Kui, after a moment of numbness, could only accept the fact that he was about to have a long, long class.

After all, there is such a hole here, if it is left unattended, the miserable fate of the residents of Jule City is likely to flood.

Seeing the black mud overflowing from the crack, Xue Kui shook his head helplessly, a faint blue fire ignited above his left eye.

The black mud landed on the ground, and when the transformed beast raised its head, it was a passage lined with blue and cold fire on both sides.

At the end of the passage, white-haired figures were clapping their hands and grinning at them.

"Welcome, welcome! Then...disappear!"

The flaming lance of judgment slanted down from the sky, and all the filthy things were incinerated.

Xue Kui sat on the ground, staring at the crack in front of him.

How about being with you for a hundred years?

The outsiders behind the rift see this world as a paradise for them to run wild, so set them up with a test before entering the paradise.

The test is this purgatory that he has turned into.

......

The surrounding area of ​​Jule City has long lost its former prosperity, and instead, the desert people called it a place full of curses because of the diseases that once appeared in Jule City.

It was in such a restricted area of ​​life that even poisonous scorpions did not dare to enter, but a small white palm suddenly poked out from under the yellow sand.

After that, a white figure crawled out.

"Bah ah ah!"

Xue Kui, who had returned from the ground, was constantly spitting out the yellow sand stained on his lips.

During the time that was so long that he didn't even want to count it, he either dealt with all kinds of weird things that came out of that space rift from time to time, or played with the Qiuqiu people underground.

After being able to absorb that chaotic energy, Xuekui has never been attacked by the Qiuqiu people again. He feels that they seem to regard him as their own kind, which may be because they were conceived by chaotic energy.

These days in the dark underground, if not for the company of Qiuqiu people, Xue Kui probably would have to rely on long-term dormancy to ensure his mental state.

Now, Xue Kui, who had spit out the yellow sand from his mouth, was looking around in confusion.

After passing through the solid ice that sealed the crack, he discovered that the original location of the crack had long been covered by yellow sand. After eating a mouthful of sand, he climbed up from below.

What year was it now and then?

Xuekui intends to find someone to ask about the current situation on the ground, but there is only a boundless sea of ​​sand around him, and the once prosperous Juer City seems to have been buried under the sand, making him wonder which direction he should go.

After a while, Xue Kui noticed a straight beam of light standing in the distant sky.

This phenomenon should not happen naturally, right?

Blinking his eyes, ice wings sprouted from behind, and Xue Kui flew in that direction.

......

The street was bustling with people, and people rushing to and fro with their duties, made Xue Kui avoid unaccustomedly, and then looked at the city with some surprise.

He has a high opinion of this place, because he can feel a kind of vitality full of expectations for life from the people, and there is a kind of vigor similar to the residents of Liyue Port.

As the city-state where the former king was located, Juer City was considered a first-class prosperity at that time, but it did not let Xue Kui feel the vitality of this city.

And looking at the size of this place, it seems like it’s just a small city?

Who is the current ruler of the desert?Somewhat capable.

Xue Kui paused again, this time it was not a human being who bumped into him head-on, but a floating construct.

Xue Kui was about to evade, but found that the construct bypassed him first and floated past him.

Looking up and taking a quick glance ahead, Xue Kui found that there were many similar constructs wandering on the street, and seeing people calling a construct to help from time to time on the street, it was obvious that they had become accustomed to these machines and used them as part of life.

Is this thing now popular among the people?

What happened all these years?

Xue Kui scratched his head, looked at an energetic uncle who was setting up a street stall, and after sorting out his words a little, walked towards him, tentatively speaking.

"Well, uncle, didn't I hear that life in the desert is not very good? But it doesn't look like it now."

The uncle looked Xue Kui up and down and asked after seeing his fair skin.

"From the rainforest?"

"Ah yes."

"Humph, you are so ignorant. That is the prejudice that you rainforest people have against desert people! Life in the desert has improved a lot a few generations ago, and now it is no less inferior to life in the rainforest."

"Isn't there a place called the Holy Order over there? Haven't you gone in to learn about the history of the desert? Or is it that the history of our desert is not worthy of being recorded by arrogant rainforest people?"

Xue Kui blinked, revealing an unusually clear gaze.

What is the Ecclesiastical Order?

The unfamiliar term made Xue Kui realize that maybe even the rainforest has undergone considerable changes.

"Haven't I never been to that place? By the way, who is the current ruler of the desert?"

Xue Kui felt a little uncomfortable as the uncle looked him up and down with strange eyes.

"What's wrong with me?"

"The problem is no, it's just that you don't look like you came out of any ditch? Why don't you even know this kind of common sense?"

"Your rainforest has the King of the Great Mercy Tree, and our desert also has the King of the Red Sand that belongs to us."

King of red sand?That guy Akhmar is willing to run out?When did this happen?

"Didn't the Red King not respond to humans a long time ago?"

The uncle's eyes on Xue Kui became more and more complicated.

"I don't even know how to evaluate you... Say you are ignorant, you even know the history of Chi Wang letting people develop themselves for a period of time; say you are knowledgeable, but you don't even know the history of today's There is no common sense of who the rulers are.”

"During the period when the Red King did not manage the desert, it is said that the people at that time had a very hard life, but later people's prayers moved the Red King and let him return to the desert to rule the world. From that time, the life in the desert It's slowly getting better."

The uncle saw that Xuekui really didn't know anything about the history of his family's fortune in the desert, probably because of the show-off mentality of his hometown, so he immediately popularized science for him.

"The Red King is selfless and just. He abolished slavery and gave love equally to every deserter... When I think of people being worked like livestock in the past, I feel Some people are scary."

"I just said that the current ruler of the desert is the king of red sand. In fact, this is not quite right. It should be the king of red sand and the seven sage monks supported by him to rule the entire desert together."

Seemingly intrigued, the uncle began to eloquently introduce to Xue Kui what happened after Akhmar's return, which gave him a preliminary understanding of the current situation in the desert.

In general, they followed the same path as Liyue, taking control of the overall situation and then gradually delegating power to humans.

However, the system in which the seven wise monks manage different regions seems to be different from the system in which the Liyue Seven Stars manage different aspects of government affairs. This is more like...

Xue Kui glanced at the sky, did not speak, and turned his attention back to the uncle's words that had already been said to the current situation. When it came to things that are closely related to him, his words became more and more, even what he wanted to give The youngest daughter's plan to purchase a construct has been revealed.

"The wisdom of the king of red sand has brought a lot of convenience to our lives. I heard from the sages that he is about to realize a happy world that will make the desert no longer sad. Although I think it is not realistic, but If it is the king of red sand, it is not surprising that he can do this kind of thing."

Xue Kui didn't understand the uncle's last words.

Worry-free world is too fake, right?

25. Waves come back

The scorching sun was setting, and to Xuekui's surprise, this desert city did not fall into silence at night, but became more lively.

The night market is still buzzing with people, but this time people are no longer rushing to make a living, but sit down and enjoy life.

The short announcements from the parents spread in the air accompanied by the aroma of the wine, and the light source was not Xue Kui's familiar lights, but a kind of sphere like kindling.

This kind of fiery orange ball is suspended on each of the pillars, only spreading light, but not the slightest temperature, even if people accidentally touch it, there is no need to worry about being burned.

Xue Kui, who was wandering around the night market, was holding a small cup and sipping the fine wine from the Sumeru Desert, observing the machines that he could no longer understand.

Looking up, outside the high tower that is said to be qualified only for sages, there is a notice that needs people's attention printed in a long blue transparent light curtain.

Looking at the people in the open-air tavern next to them, there is also a small light curtain suspended on the table in front of them for people to watch the dishes on it. When people reach out and tap on the light curtain, the content on it will be displayed Changes accordingly.

Xue Kui found out that the technology of these organs is the favor of the Red King.

In this way, Akhmar did gain a lot from the outside world on the day Marikata died.

When no one was paying attention, Xue Kui quietly flew to the top of the tower, looked at the flickering lights below, and quietly sipped the wine in his glass.
