Chapter 199 Fire
"Well, you are interested."
As the mother-in-law, the Great Tree King did not reject Liu Bai's kindness and took the red envelope he handed over.
Seeing that the Great Compassion Tree King accepted the red envelope, Liu Bai turned around and looked at Nashida, waiting for her instructions.
"Is there anything we need to do in the desert? How should we win over the Grass Dragon?"
Nashida also came forward, pulled Liu Bai back to her side and asked the Great Compassion Tree King about the specific matters.
Before the Great Compassion Tree King came to her, she didn't even know the existence of the Grass Dragon. After all, she wouldn't always use the omniscience of the World Tree.
"Well, actually, this is what happened..."
The Great Tree King nodded slightly, and then told Liu Bai and Nashida about the Grass Dragon.
When the Red King fell, the Grass Dragon, who had a contract with the Red King, arrived as expected and swallowed the Red King into his stomach.
But this also caused it to swallow the forbidden knowledge brought out by the Red King.
Even though it possesses extremely strong vitality and adaptability, the contamination of forbidden knowledge still makes it miserable and almost crazy.
At that time, the Great Compassionate Tree King also rushed to the desert and began to help the people of King Chi to fight against the forbidden knowledge.
After clearing the forbidden knowledge of the desert, she turned to the Dragon of Grass.
But at that time, the power of the Great Compassion Tree King was almost exhausted, and his body turned into the appearance of a child. He could only promise the Grass Dragon that he would heal it in the future, stop it from causing trouble, and hide in the depths of the desert.
The Grass Dragon has always abided by the agreement with the Great Compassionate Tree King and hid in its own territory. Even now, no one in Xumi has heard of its existence.
"In the process, Apep adapted to the forbidden knowledge and his body became a part of it."
“But as the forbidden knowledge was completely eliminated, its body that coexisted with the forbidden knowledge also instantly became riddled with holes.”
The Great Compassionate Tree King stopped here and asked Liu Bai and the others to understand the current state of the Grass Dragon Apep.
Liu Bai listened to the description of the Great Compassion Tree King and imagined a giant dragon in his mind...
The only dragon he could think of seemed to be King Rādhāra, so he had to use it as an example.
The body of the Dragon King Ruotu... Ruoli... was covered with numerous holes...
Such a scene was quickly imagined.
Then Liu Bai immediately got goose bumps all over his body. This scene made him suffer from claustrophobia.
"Girl! I won't go. It's too scary!"
Liu Bai, with goose bumps all over his body, quickly hid behind Nashida.
If he really saw such a creature, he would be worried and unable to sleep at night.
"Don't worry, it doesn't look that scary."
The Great Compassionate Tree King chuckled and helped to comfort Liu Bai.
"So let's win over the Grass Dragon, meaning we can fulfill our promise to you and heal it?"
Nashida gently held Liu Bai's hand and continued to ask the Great Compassion Tree King.
The Great Compassion Tree King nodded slightly. This should be the simplest way to ease the relationship between dragons and gods now.
"But didn't you have the ability to heal Xumi before? If it didn't work, it would be difficult to cure it."
Nashida thought of other problems.
The Great Compassionate Tree King used the Gift of Plenty to directly heal the entire Sumeru, even the wild monsters were healed. Didn’t it affect the Grass Dragon?
"In order to avoid touching the underground ruins of Kanreya, I precisely controlled the range of the rain to the entire surface of Xumi, and did not touch Apep who was hiding underground."
In response to Nashida's doubts, the Great Compassionate Tree King also began to explain.
Just like Liu Bai’s other system skills, as long as you acquire them, you can learn how to use them. Therefore, the Great Compassion Tree King mastered how to use them accurately the first time.
"But even so, you can use it again..."
"Because you are the God of Grass, and I am just the incarnation of the World Tree."
The Great Compassionate Tree King interrupted Nashida's words with a smile and explained.
Although he has been resurrected, the throne will not return to him. Now the throne of the God of Grass still belongs to the little auspicious grass king.
She will also be the god who protects Xumi in the future.
So she needs to personally win over Apep.
After the fall of the Red King Civilization, the current rainforest civilization has only existed for a little over a thousand years and does not have enough power to resist disasters. If the Grass Dragon can be turned from an enemy into a friend, that would be perfect.
After all, the rainforest civilization was created here because of the death of the flower goddess, and she came here after she and the Red King became strangers.
When the Demon War just ended, the only human civilization in Xumi was the Red King Civilization, so all the accumulated power was also there.
"Well... Mom won't let me, so you still have to come with me."
Nashida had no choice but to nod and turned to speak to Liu Bai.
After Liu Bai decided not to go, she didn't want to go anymore.
"Okay, since my mother-in-law has given the order, let's go together."
Although the goose bumps had not completely disappeared, after hearing what Nashida said, Liu Bai had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Thank you for your hard work, but before you go to look for Apep, please take the elemental life forms that escaped from Apep's body with you. Most of them are now disguised as other animals."
"Even if Apep doesn't say it, he still has some feelings for them."
The Great Compassionate Tree King then gave Liu Bai and Nashida another hint.
"This is the fire of Apep. It can reactivate the heart of Apep's oasis. Please preserve it well. It is very fragile."
Finally, the Great Compassion Tree King handed a strange crystal to Liu Bai and Nashida.
Hearing that this thing was fragile, the two carefully hid it in the small white house.
For them, there is no place in the whole of Teyvat safer than the little white house. After all, it is no longer Teyvat.
After putting away the fire, the two left the Ordinance House together.
As for where to find the elemental life that escaped from Apep's body, the Great Compassion Tree King also gave a rough location hint, which was very close to Xumi City.
After searching for a while, the two found an unconscious floating water mushroom beast on the bridge outside Xumi City, and there were two smaller floating water mushroom beasts surrounding it anxiously.
"Disguised as other animals..."
Nashida remembered the reminder from the Great Compassion Tree King and immediately pulled Liu Bai closer.
"—!"
"!!"
When the two floating water mushroom beasts saw Liu Bai and Nashida approaching, they immediately became alert.
This is different from them taking the initiative to go out for help. It is not a good thing no matter how you think about it if humans suddenly approach a family member when they are unconscious.
"Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions."
"Are your family members injured? Can you let me see them?"
Nashida spoke gently to the two floating mushroom beasts.
Although the two water mushroom beasts were alert, they were also very worried about their unconscious family members. After hesitating for a while, they put away their vigilance and jumped in front of Nashida to ask for help.
"Don't worry, let me take a look at it."
Nashida walked over to the unconscious mushroom beast, squatted down, stretched out a hand and used the grass elemental power to check its condition.
