Chapter 70 Transforming the City
"You are doing this wrong. You did not use the power of the grass seeds. Although you destroyed the dead zone, the surrounding plants cannot be revived."
Nashida said something to Liu Bai who had put away his sword energy, then raised her hands forward, with her index fingers and thumbs forming a square in front of her body and pointing at the grass seeds in the corner.
"I found this...?"
Nashida tried to imitate Liu Bai's speech, and the next moment attracted the grass seeds to her side.
She then planted grass seeds where the Death Tumor had originally been.
The next moment, the green elemental force spread out, and the plants that had withered under the influence of the dead zone began to grow again.
"Thank you very much for clearing the dead zone. We are rangers of Daocheng Forest. My name is Amir."
"My name is Nasrin."
Two forest rangers, a man and a woman, saw that the dead zone had been cleared, and then they dared to stand up and thank Liu Bai and Nashida and the others.
"Nothing. The existence of the dead zone will destroy the rainforest. As the people of Xumi, we should naturally protect the rainforest."
Nashida shook her head and replied.
"Well, thank you both very much for your generosity."
"But as a forest ranger, I have to remind you two to be more careful when walking in the rain forest, and don't eat mushrooms on the roadside."
"Besides, we are about to return to Huacheng Castle. If it's convenient for you two, you can go with us."
Amir, the forest ranger, thanked the two again, gave them some instructions, and then pointed in the direction of Huacheng Castle and made a suggestion.
"Okay, we're planning to go to Huacheng."
Nashida nodded, then took Liu Bai's hand.
"If you can't eat the mushrooms on the roadside, can you eat these mushroom beasts?"
Following the two forest rangers, Liu Bai picked up a piece of the dead body of a mushroom beast and asked about it. These mushroom beasts looked very much like mushrooms.
"Mushroom beasts are indeed edible, but just like Xiangling's slime dishes, most people may not be used to them, but they do taste like mushrooms."
Without waiting for the two rangers to answer, Nashida spoke first to explain to Liu Bai.
I had lived in Liyue for so many days before, and when I went to Wanmin Hall for dinner, Xiangling would occasionally recommend a dish called "Slime Mushroom".
"Haha, I didn't expect this little sister to know so much."
"The taste of mushrooms is indeed similar to that of mushrooms, but it is generally not recommended to eat mushrooms that have been contaminated by the Dead Zone. There may be residual power from the Dead Zone in them."
Nasrin was a little surprised at Nashida's knowledge, and then reminded her.
"I see."
Liu Bai nodded and threw the mushroom beast corpse he had picked up back.
It is wrong to litter in the rainforest, but it is different to litter corpses. The corpses will be decomposed within three days due to various reasons.
In this way, following the forest ranger, Liu Bai and Nashida arrived at Huacheng City.
Huachengguo is neither a village nor a town, but a settlement built by forest rangers. Initially, it was just a place for forest rangers to rest, but as its size gradually expanded, it has now become a small village-like town. Passers-by also come here to rest or seek help from forest rangers.
The houses here are all made of wood, built on the branches of big trees, away from the wet ground.
"Mr. Tinari! We discovered a new dead zone on our patrol route today!"
After returning to Huacheng, Amir quickly spotted the forest ranger Tinari, who had dark green fur, huge fox ears and a tail, and immediately walked up to him to report.
"What? I understand. I'll take care of it right away!"
Since Tinari was one of the few rangers in Hua City who possessed the divine eye, he was usually responsible for clearing the dead zones. He immediately nodded and walked outside.
"Wait a minute Mr. Tinari, the dead zone has been cleared by the two kind people we brought back."
Amir quickly called out to Tinari, then pointed to Liu Bai and the others who were following Nasrin and explained.
"Is that so?"
Tinari then calmed down and looked at Liu Bai and Nashida.
But soon he frowned again.
"...You, don't you have the Eye of God? That's too much! Without the Eye of God, the Death Zone will be very harmful to your body!"
Tinari moved closer and looked at Liu Bai and Nashida from front to back, and found that they did not have the Eye of God. He frowned and spoke.
"I don't have the Eyes of God, but I have the Heart of God... huh?"
Liu Bai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Nashida who reacted and pulled his clothes.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tinari. Although we don't have the Eye of God, we can also use elemental power. Don't worry about us."
Nashida explained to Tinari, and the soft grass elemental power emerged from her hands to prove it.
"I see... Ah, sorry, sorry, I was a little too worried just now. Thank you very much for cleaning up the new dead zone. Since you two are guests, please allow me to treat you well at noon."
Seeing the elemental power in Nashida's hands, Tinari finally felt relieved and spoke to the two of them with some apology.
Afterwards, in order to thank the two, Tinari brought them into the city of Hua.
From the conversation on the road, Tinari learned that Nashida originally lived in Xumi City, went to Liyue some time ago, and happened to return to Xumi from the Abyss today.
Liu Bai and his friends also learned of Tinari's identity, the ranger of Daochenglin, and it seemed that most of the rangers were led by him.
"Master Tinari!"
Just when Tinari took the two of them into the house to rest, a girl with grass-green hair and a short black dress suddenly came over.
"This is my student Ke Lai. Please wait a moment."
"What's wrong, Cole?"
After introducing Liu Bai and Nashida, Tinari turned around and asked Cole.
"She's the child I was talking about."
Nashida leaned close to Liu Bai's ear and whispered, but Liu Bai just tilted his head when he heard it.
"It's like this, Master Tinari, Mr. Faberd ate the wrong mushrooms again, and it seems to be very serious this time. I gave him medicine but it didn't get better."
The girl named Cole explained the situation to Tinari.
"It's him again. This is the nth time this month..."
Tinari held his forehead with his hand helplessly.
"Kole, these two are the guests who saved Amir and Nasrin and cleared the dead zone. Please entertain them here for me. I will go and check the situation."
"Sorry, I have to go check it out first."
Tinari gave an order to Cole, then turned around and apologized to Liu Bai and Nashida, then left in a hurry.
"Eh? A guest...?"
Only then did Cole look at Liu Bai and Nashida who were sitting in the house.
"These two people...why do they look so familiar? Have you seen them before?"
Seeing the two people in the house, Cole was confused, but he couldn't remember who they were.
"Hello, Cole, long time no see~"
Nashida greeted Cole.
"Eh? Do you know me? Have we met before?"
Cole was a little shy at first, but after hearing what Nashida said, she couldn't help but walk over and ask in confusion.
"Well, I have been following you for a long time~"
Nashida answered with her arms folded and a smile.
For children like Kelai who have been tortured by that kind of disease since childhood, she has been observing and accompanying them as long as they are in Xumi.
