Chapter 200 Elemental Life
"It doesn't seem to be a life form evolved from spores, but an elemental creature composed of elements..."
After a brief inspection, Nashida discovered something peculiar about the mushroom beast.
"?"
Liu Bai scratched his head, not understanding.
Seeing that Liu Bai didn't understand, Nashida didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, she raised her hand and released her elemental power towards the unconscious mushroom beast.
During her examination, she found that there seemed to be an inexplicable hole in the body of the mushroom beast. It was this hole that blocked the normal flow of elemental force and caused its coma.
All that matters is that Nashida fills up the hole.
Under Nashida's treatment, the unconscious mushroom beast slowly woke up.
"!!!"
"?~!"
Seeing their family members wake up, one of the two mushroom beasts surrounding them looked very surprised, while the other one let out a happy cry.
"The girl is amazing."
Although he didn't understand what was happening, Liu Bai still clapped and praised.
"The King of Grass... is actually the King of Grass?"
Hearing Liu Bai's voice, the awakened mushroom beast turned around and immediately recognized Nashida when he saw her.
What was surprising was that it actually spoke.
"It turned out that it was the King of Grass who saved me. Thank you, and the attendant beside you."
The mushroom beast thanked Nashida and also included Liu Bai who was standing next to him.
Although Liu Bai did nothing, he still folded his arms across his chest and raised his head proudly.
"Are you the elemental life that escaped from the Grass Dragon?"
With the previous hint from the Great Compassion Tree King, Nashida took the initiative to ask the awakened floating water mushroom beast.
"Grass Dragon... Yes, I remember, Grass Dragon, our home."
"My family and I live there, carefree and very happy."
Hearing Nashida bring it up, the Floating Mushroom Monster also remembered it, and nodded in response while floating in mid-air.
"But then, the end of the world came, and our homeland suddenly changed..."
Having said that, it felt a little depressed again.
"It must be forbidden knowledge. The Grass Dragon has been contaminated by forbidden knowledge..."
Combining this with the information that the Great Compassion Tree King had told her, Nashida could be sure that the [doomsday] that the Floating Mushroom Beast was talking about was referring to the Grass Dragon being infected with forbidden knowledge.
The floating water mushroom beast nodded in confirmation. After being away from home for so long, it also learned the names of those things from humans.
"In that case, the void in your body just now was also left behind after the forbidden knowledge disappeared?"
"I'm sorry, we didn't consider this situation..."
"It's okay, King of Grass, you don't have to apologize. If you hadn't rescued me, I would have lost more than just knowledge and memory."
While Nashida was talking to the floating water mushroom beast, Liu Bai carefully squatted down and approached the other two water mushroom beasts.
This species of plankton mushroom looks very cute because it has a big mushroom head on its head and very short limbs.
Liu Bai stretched out his hands and poked their big heads, and with a little force they sank a little.
"?~??~"
Perhaps it was because Liu Bai and Nashida saved their family, they did not resist Liu Bai's touch, but seemed very happy instead.
"Wow……"
Liu Bai picked one of them up and watched its short legs kicking in the air.
"Girl, I want to raise one!"
As Liu Bai spoke, he turned around and spoke to Nashida, interrupting her conversation with the floating water mushroom beast.
"No, this is someone's family, not a pet."
Nashida rejected Liu Bai without hesitation.
"The Grass King is right. I'm very sorry. Please let it go."
The floating water mushroom beast also made a request to Liu Bai.
"..."
Liu Bai had no choice but to nod obediently and put the mushroom beast down again reluctantly.
The little guy didn't feel anything and continued to jump happily beside Liu Bai.
Then, no one knew what Nashida said to the Floating Mushroom Monster. Nashida sent a message to her followers, the Lanaros, in the forest, asking them to help find elemental life like the Floating Mushroom Monster.
The floating mushroom monster said goodbye to the two mushroom monsters and asked them to wait for its return.
"While we're waiting for news, would you like to go somewhere with me?"
"The more family members who can go home together, the better..."
After Nashida finished her message to Lanaro, the floating mushroom beast asked the two of them.
Nashida naturally had no objection to this. She just wanted to take these elemental lives that escaped from the Grass Dragon's body back to find the Grass Dragon.
Then the floating water mushroom beast took Liu Bai and Nashida away into the distance.
When they were attacked by monsters along the way, Liu Bai held the sword energy in his mouth and blew away the monsters with force.
"Amazing! Is this the servant of the King of Grass?"
Seeing Liu Bai easily deal with the monster, the floating water mushroom beast said with some surprise.
"He's not a servant, he's also my family."
Nashida shook her head and explained to the floating mushroom beast.
"Family, the Grass King's family. No wonder the Grass King was so happy when he talked to him."
The floating mushroom beast said this with some joy.
"No la……"
Nashida felt a little embarrassed when this was suddenly pointed out.
Liu Bai was picking up the monster's materials nearby.
He seldom takes the initiative to kill monsters in the wild. After all, he is not an adventurer. However, if he kills one, he can pick up some materials to sell.
In this way, the two men and the mushroom beast continued to move forward and soon came to a dead zone.
Within the scope of the dead zone, all plants have died, and even the earth has turned into a burnt yellow and black color. The monsters in it have also been affected by the dead zone and have become extremely manic.
"Death realm?"
Seeing the dead zone in front of her, Nashida was a little confused.
"Yeah, that's right. I've heard humans use that word."
"It is the end of our kind of life and the final form it takes."
The floating mushroom beast nodded and explained.
"I see... No wonder the forbidden knowledge has been eradicated, but the original dead zone did not disappear directly."
After hearing the explanation from the floating water mushroom beast, Nashida finally understood the problem that had been bothering her.
Although the dead zone was created due to forbidden knowledge, its essence is the post-death form of elemental life such as plankton and water mushrooms.
Just like when a demon dies, it will release a large amount of elemental power to pollute the land. The power of these elemental lives that are polluted is not considered forbidden knowledge, so the elimination of forbidden knowledge will not affect the dead zone.
At most, it would stop the dead zone from increasing further.
"So we need to pull this thing out?"
While Nashida was talking to the floating water mushroom beast, Liu Bai had already rushed into the dead zone, grabbing the dead zone tumor in the middle with one hand and asking them questions.
As for the monsters nearby that were affected by the death zone, they fell down before they got close to Liu Bai.
With his current strength, dealing with monsters in the wild is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Yes, please eradicate the dead zone."
The floating water mushroom beast immediately responded to Liu Bai.
Liu Bai nodded, then a lightsaber condensed in his hand and cut off the death zone tumor.
As the Death Zone Tumor was destroyed, a long-hidden grass elemental force burst out, instantly purifying the entire Death Zone and bringing the dead plants back to life.
"Huh? Where did the treasure chest come from?"
What surprised Liu Bai was that a treasure chest appeared next to him...
