Chapter 906: Chapter 437: Collapse of Faith

"Is this... the Northern Snowfield?"

In the pet shop’s basement, Fuya stood in front of the open ’door,’ looking at the icy, snowy landscape outside with some uncertainty.

"Yes."

Mu You walked out of the door with Vivian and an assortment of tools, followed by Lin Xue stepping onto the snowfield behind him.

Little Ya and Mu Mianmeng stayed behind the door, watching the two leave.

This time they were heading to the desert to battle Caesar and might face an army numbering in the millions. Little Ya and the others, being ordinary people, would hardly be of any help and might instead be a hindrance.

Therefore, Mu You only planned to take Lin Xue and the Shadow Wolf to assist.

"Have you decided? Are you going back or not?" After transferring all the things he intended to bring, Mu You looked back at Fuya.

"I, for sure, have to visit home. As for whether I will return..." Fuya said, hesitating.

Now that she had seen her ancestor here, she naturally wanted to inform her family of the situation. As for what to do after that, she hadn’t made up her mind.

When she first wandered over here, she was desperate to return home and felt no hesitation.

However, after living here for a while, she had to admit that life in the Forgotten Land was not bad at all, and leaving like this was a bit hard to bear...

"Then you can think it over after you go back home; you can come over anytime," Mu You suggested.

Fuya’s family possessed the Clear Door Curse power and were guarding a well that led straight to Earth; they could stay wherever they pleased.

"That’s true..." Fuya nodded, no longer indecisive, and turned around to beckon, "Come, Sphinx!"

Cola was huddled at the ’door,’ all curled up into a furry ball, trying to be inconspicuous under the door frame, mentally chanting, ’My master has forgotten me.’ Suddenly hearing her master’s voice, Cola perked up, and her face instantly fell.

Compared to Fuya, who was hesitant about whether to return home, Cola was the one that truly didn’t want to go back. Cola had already experienced it once before and whether it was the pain of dieting and liposuction after returning home or the withdrawal symptoms caused by loss of internet, both were unbearably painful.

Unfortunately, under her master’s gaze, she could not refuse and had to step out of the door reluctantly, looking back every three steps with a pitiful gaze that constantly shifted among Little Ya, Mian Mian, and Mu You, short of begging them to save her life!

"Can I borrow Cola and take her with me?"

Just then, Mu You’s voice came from behind.

Cola’s steps faltered as if pardoned, and she turned back to look at Mu You gratefully. If her master hadn’t been watching, she might have bowed in thanks; indeed, you understand me the best!

"Take Sphinx with you? What can it do?" Fuya froze, somewhat surprised.

"Heh, it might not be good for much else, but acting as a mascot is still possible," Mu You said with a smile.

"Great, when I was in the shop, my best skill was being a lucky cat!" Cola hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Fuya giving her an incredulous look.

"No, master, don’t get me wrong, meow. It’s just that Mu You saved me twice, and now he is in trouble, so I must help him. It’s certainly not because I’m addicted to this place’s cat food, comics, games, or anything like that..." Cola frantically tried to explain, her gaze darting all over the place.

Fuya rolled her eyes and didn’t pay her any attention. Instead, she looked at Mu You and asked, "Do you need me to help as well?"

"No need." Mu You shook his head. "Besides, I reckon you won’t be able to exert much strength in the desert..."

"The desert, indeed..."

At the mention of that name, Fuya couldn’t help but frown, evidently having had less than pleasant experiences in the desert before.

The group set out directly afterward.

Mu You first escorted Fuya to the Imperial Capital, then he and Lin Xue teleported to the desert.

...

When the two arrived at the center of the great desert, Red Cliff, more than a thousand followers of Caesar’s cult had already gathered early by the Ghost Pillar.

For those devout followers, today could be considered one of the most important days in their lives. Each one had especially burned incense and bathed themselves, dressing up neatly before daring to come here.

Mu You didn’t show himself in haste but took Lin Xue to hide behind a distant dune first.

Underneath the continuous range of mountains behind Red Cliff, tens of thousands of Ezomal soldiers led by Evans were concealed there, all of them draped in pale yellow robes, armed with knives and shields, hiding in the sandy ground. They almost blended with the yellow desert, and if the two hadn’t approached nearby, it would be difficult to detect anyone there from afar.

Apart from the army, there were the Scorplion transformed into an orange cat, the Bone Dragon, and the Shadow Wolf, all waiting there too.

As Mu You and Lin Xue approached, Evans and the Shadow Wolf immediately came towards them.

However, it was Pocket Toad that jumped onto Mu You’s shoulder first.

The little frog stood on his shoulder, waving its arms excitedly, occasionally pointing at the distant Red Cliff, venting its frustration from the past few days.

"Heh, don’t worry, I’ll take you to rescue Ice Blue soon," Mu You said, comforting it with a smile.

By this time, Evans had converged upon him, and Mu You turned to look; it was his first time seeing the true face of the Desert Legion’s commander in reality.

What surprised Mu You was that Evans was much younger than he had imagined, and his complexion and build were unlike those of typical people from the desert’s broad expanses; rather, he was more pale and slender.
