Chapter 205: Subduing the Grass Dragon
Faced with these strange elemental life forms, Liu Bai knocked them all down with just a little effort.
They had evolved into this form due to long-term suffering, and their bodies had become shackles for them. The water mushroom beast came forward and transformed them into elemental power and absorbed them into its body, just like its family members in the dead zone before.
They are the elemental forces within Apep's body. Form is not important to them, as long as they can return home.
"Well……"
"A lot of knowledge and emotions are surging in my body, and they are all very exciting."
"I didn't expect that I could complete the growth that takes a long time in just one go."
After absorbing these elemental forces, the water mushroom beast suddenly changed its appearance and became as big as the Lu Xingyan original mushroom next to it.
Now it should be renamed Lu Xing Shui Ben Zhen Mushroom.
"…Not as cute as before, this is still the best."
Liu Bai stared at the growing water mushroom beast seriously, and finally hugged the cute floating wind mushroom beast next to it.
The wind mushroom beast struggled for a while but failed to get out, so it decided to forgive Liu Bai for his behavior.
"Finally I can go home..."
The water mushroom monster didn't care about Liu Bai's comment. After all, it didn't quite understand the concept of cuteness.
"Then let's go, it's the last leg of the journey."
Nashida nodded and spoke to the three mushroom beasts, then continued to lead the way towards the underground cave where Apep lived.
"Girl, I have a way to prevent it from running away..."
On the way, Liu Bai suddenly thought of something and immediately leaned over to Nashida's ear and whispered.
……
"Buyer..."
Inside the huge underground cave, Apep lay weakly on the ground.
"You broke your promise, and now you let your heir come to me. Do you really think I don't know what you want to do?"
Apep murmured weakly.
The topic of the Great Compassionate Tree King sending down rain to heal the entire Xumi is inevitably discussed in any area of Xumi where people are active.
Even Apep had heard of it from the Gilded Brigade that happened to approach its territory.
But why did the gentle rain that day avoid it in the desert?
From that day on, Apep believed that the Great Mercy Tree King had broken his promise to save it.
Perhaps it's due to the conflict between God and Dragon...
"That's right. After all, I am just the master of the past. Even if you save me, I can't give you anything..."
Apep had murmured this before, until little Buyel came to his territory with the elemental life in his body, and then he figured out the plan of the Great Mercy Tree King.
"Ok?"
Sensing something, Apep slowly raised his head.
"I followed you after all...Buyer, let me see how your heir can convince me."
Driven by a strong desire to survive, Apep decided to show up again.
In ancient times, there were seven dragon kings who ruled Teyvat, just like the seven gods today. Apep, the only dragon king who survived to this day, did not rely solely on his own tenacious vitality.
Otherwise, the vitality of the first generation Water Dragon King who controls the original fetal sea in Fontaine next door is only stronger than it.
The reason why it has survived until now is its strong obsession to survive.
Apep slowly emerged from the cave, wanting to learn what Nashida was capable of.
But just as it appeared, a purple ball suddenly flew over and landed on Apep's head.
'This is……'
Apep was confused, but he saw the purple sphere split into two halves.
"A hidden weapon...?"
Apep had little knowledge of human creations and could only make doubtful guesses.
The next moment, red light shot out from the cracked sphere, landed on Apep's head, and quickly spread to its entire body.
Then, Apep's huge body turned into a ball of red light and shot into the purple Pet Master Ball in the air, and the Pet Master Ball fell to the ground.
"I conquered the Grass Dragon!"
Liu Bai hurried over, picked up the Pet Master Ball on the ground and held it up proudly.
"???"
The three mushroom beasts widened their eyes at the incredible scene before them.
Even Nashida was a little surprised. After all, she had never seen the scene where Liu Bai subdued the Dragon King Ruota.
I didn't expect it would be so easy to tame the Grass Dragon...
"Grass Dragon, where is home?"
"My head is dizzy."
The wind mushroom beast that was released by Liu Bai was looking around in the air in a daze.
It was a little bit confused that it was the ball that contained the Grass Dragon. After all, the ball was too small.
……
"Where is this? What was that just now?"
In the pure white space, Apep raised his head vigilantly and looked around.
"Could it be someone from heaven..."
Being able to be sent to such a place in an instant, Apep couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.
Although I am very weak now, my body is there and it is not easy to move.
"Damn it. If I died, Xumi would be destroyed and other countries would be implicated. The people in heaven would not touch me easily, but if I die here..."
The more Apep thought about it, the more nervous he became. His obsession with survival made his brain think quickly to find a way out.
"My child, why are you so bad..."
"Oops, it's a sonic attack!"
When he heard the unpleasant voice, Apep immediately became alert, and without hesitation, he endured the pain and used the elemental power in his body.
Bang-!
The next moment, these elemental forces exploded in Apep's ears, causing him to completely lose his hearing.
system:"……"
Good fellow, you are so cruel to yourself...
Should I tell it that this sound actually goes directly into the soul?
The system hesitated for a moment, but still chose to send down the rain.
As the gentle rain fell, Apep's ears were quickly healed and his weak condition improved.
"This is...Buyer? Is that you?"
Although he had only heard about it from humans' discussions from afar, when he saw the falling rain, Apep immediately thought of the Great Compassionate Tree King.
But its question received no response, and the ugly voice started singing again.
Judging from the voice alone, it shouldn't be Buyer...
After all, Buyer's voice isn't that bad! It's heard it before!
"Shut up! Come out if you have the guts! What's the point of attacking with sonic waves?"
After regaining some vitality under Gan Lin's treatment, Apep roared to the sky in anger.
Apep's consciousness did not show much signs of being worn out, because its willpower was so amazing that it would probably take a long time to tame it, much longer than it took to tame the Ryota Dragon King...
……
"What should we do next? Find a place to put it and renegotiate?"
In Apep's cave, two people and three mushroom beasts sat down, roasting fire and eating meat. Nashida couldn't help asking Liu Bai.
"Sure, anyway, as long as there's a ball, we can catch it wherever it runs."
Liu Bai nodded.
According to the settings, as long as he does not choose to release Apep, he can use the Pet Master Ball to bring it back at any time after releasing it, without having to hit it again.
"Well, after we've eaten, we'll go to an open area and talk to it."
"Did you guys eat well?"
Nashida responded, then looked at the three mushroom beasts sitting opposite the campfire and asked.
"Thanks to the King of Grass, we have almost finished eating."
The water mushroom beast nodded in response to Nashida.
Fungus beasts are generally vegetarians, so the meat that Nashida is roasting has nothing to do with them. They eat the fruits that Nashida has just made.
“Full, delicious, happy.”
The wind mushroom beast was also shaking happily.
Since small mushroom creatures have relatively short limbs, they can usually only express their emotions through movements of their entire body.
