Not only that, after the death of the Red King, she happily ran over to devour the Red King's body, resulting in this ghostly appearance.
Although there are elements of the Red King's calculations, Apep's own IQ also played an irreplaceable role - who made her so stupid?
Regarding this dark history, Apep thought it would be better not to tell the story to Ember. Otherwise, if he went to the other dragons and made a fuss about it, where would she be able to put her dignity as a dragon king?
"You can see what's wrong with you, and you can grow such big fruits. You must be a good hand at using grass elements. Tell me, if you have any questions about elemental power, just ask."
Apep looked at the little human in front of him with a rare expression of kindness. This strange guy in front of me not only could tell what was wrong with her body with just a piece of grass feather, but he also planted a fruit that was bigger than a human!
Presumably this guy must be very knowledgeable in using the power of grass element.
Looking at the huge fruit that was covered with a thin layer of yellow sand due to the sandstorm next to Ember, Apep nodded appreciatively.
It is really rare for a human being to be able to use the grass elemental power to such an extent.
But no matter how rare it is, it is not as rare as her being the Dragon of Grass. Apep's use of the grass element is almost like instinct, and her endless lifespan makes her understanding of elemental power reach a level far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
All in all, all in all, she has every confidence in directing Ember!
Unfortunately, Yi Yan didn't listen to a word of Apep's words. He squatted on the ground and poked the big white peach covered with dust in front of him with his hand.
"What's wrong with you? You're not dead, are you?" Ember poked several times, but there was no movement at all on some dirty fruits.
You must know that in the past, not only could the yellow sand not stain it at all, but every time an ember poked it, it would always roll over and hit the ember before it would stop.
Now Ember poked the big white peach many times, but it didn't respond. This made Ember wonder whether it died when he wasn't paying attention.
"Huh? The smell of this fruit..." Seeing Ember's movements, Apep's attention was also attracted.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at the fruit that was being poked by embers and rolling around.
Why does the smell on this fruit feel familiar to her?
The smell of the fruit covered with sand on the surface has become more restrained. It has changed from the plump and clear fruit appearance before, and has become as lifeless and swollen as a dead tree root nodule.
Apep looked at it for a long time and found nothing unusual, so she had no choice but to attribute the abnormality just to her own sensitivity.
"This fruit should have adapted to the harsh climate of the desert. Its vitality is still strong. As long as you have the right conditions, it will become a towering tree."
Apep analyzed the fruits on the ground and it sounded very reasonable. This makes her look like a knowledgeable and intelligent dragon.
"I see, that's great, King of Trees, let's quickly find a place with rain and light and plant the King of Grass!"
After listening to Apep's words, Iwamoto Managu immediately ran over excitedly and suggested something to Yu Ember.
"King of Grass..., this name is so familiar."
"what!"
The screams of her followers below interrupted Apep's thoughts. She looked down and saw that the dust on the originally gray fruit had been cleared away. It was now white and emerald green.
However, the behavior of this fruit at this moment is really not worthy of its lively and loving breath - it is bouncing wildly, and its target of impact is the talkative Iwamoto Shinko.
"Damn it! I remembered it! You are a trespasser!!!"
Looking at the big white peach that was "stepping" on his family member's body and beating continuously, Apep finally remembered who it was.
It is the arbiter who takes away his own authority and territory and reigns supreme over his head.
"Trespasser! Since you came to the door yourself, don't blame me for being rude!!!"
Apep's roar was shocking, and his mouth opened wide.
"Hiccup~"
But soon, Apep's roar suddenly stopped. Yan Yan lowered his hands covering his ears, not quite understanding what was going on.
"The King of Grass, jumped into the mouth of the Grass Dragon——"
Iwamoto's mushroom turned into a tumbleweed in the desert, and Gurulu rolled away in front of the embers. The last thing it left to the embers was this reminder.
Ember looked up at Apep, whose head was raised and his whole body was twitching, and he lowered his head in thought.
He felt that the big white peach might have jumped directly into Apep's mouth using the Iwamoto mushroom as a springboard.
Poor Iwamoto Managu was rolled into a corner due to the huge recoil.
Ember didn't care about the whereabouts of the Iwamoto mushroom. He believed that with a big beacon like Apep around, the Iwamoto mushroom would be found.
What matters now is, of course, running into Apep’s big mouth to join in the fun!
"Ho! Ouch!"
Apep opened and closed his big mouth, exhaling a series of huge storms. Ember had reason to suspect that if dragons had arms, Apep would be grabbing his throat right now.
"How can you fly?" Apep saw the embers flying straight towards him, and for a moment he forgot to cough.
Mainly people from Feihui, this was Apep’s first time meeting them.
"Don't worry, open your mouth."
"What do you want to do?"
Apep suddenly became alert, and she suspected that Ember and the Grass King who had just flown into her mouth were in the same group.
"What a lot of nonsense! The patient just needs to follow the doctor's orders and that's it!" Embers flew to Apep's big mouth.
Apep's neck was thrown back.
But Ember moved forward faster than Apep fell back. He directly put his hands into Apep's closed mouth.
"The doctor's orders now are to open your mouth and let me in!"
"Oh!"
Yan Yan exerted force with both arms, and Apep felt that his mouth was forced open by a huge force.
"Hiccup~"
Apep burped again - because one more person ran into her body.
"Damn it! You are indeed in the same group!!!"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
After an angry roar, a series of coughs rang out in the deserted desert.
The coughing sound was heartbreaking, as if something unbearable had entered the cougher's mouth.
Chapter 628 The heart is the world

"Crack!"
The embers stepped on the fleshy wall that might have been Apep's trachea, making a crisp sound like the breaking of dead leaves.
"Boom!"
The huge passage with no end in sight began to vibrate, and then the flesh walls on both sides began to expand and contract regularly.
Then, the surroundings suddenly became brighter - Apep opened his big mouth. Along with the influx of light, roaring winds followed one after another.
The strong wind carried infinite power from the inside out, and seemed to want to blow out everything in the chest that did not belong to the Grass Dragon.
It's a pity that this strong wind is destined to be in vain. Putting aside the embers that tightly cling to the flesh wall, this strong wind blows from an unknown depth, and it doesn't bring any dirt with it.
Touching his dry breastplate, Yi Yan could not help but shake his head and sighed: "There is no phlegm at all. This throat is so dry."
"Hmm... maybe it's not illness, but staying in the desert for a long time?" Yi Yan thought of another possibility.
Maybe Apep's throat was so dry not because she was sick, but because she was stuck in the desert all the time.
However, as the embers advanced, Apep's dry throat originated from the desert, which automatically broke through without attacking.
"What is this? The black mud of the giant rock abyss? It's a little too thin, right?" In front, there was suddenly a touch of black on the flesh wall that was like countless old giant vines intertwined and intertwined.
Ember came over and took a look. It was too dark and couldn't see clearly.
"Open your mouth!!!" Yi Yan stood on the spot and yelled at the surroundings. His voice was so loud that even the darkness attached to Apep's flesh shook several times.
Apep made no move.
"Boom!!!"
The flesh and blood of the grass dragon near the embers, which had the same texture as old wood, began to ripple like water. These ripples continued for a long time, spreading along the trachea to Apep's throat and to her internal organs.
"hiss……"
The light poured in along with the faint sound of inhalation, and the huge trachea suddenly became bright again.
"Phew! Remember to listen to the doctor next time." Yi Yan blew on his fist and shouted loudly.
Then he didn't care whether Apep heard it or not, and directly used the light to observe the darkness next to him.
The darkness clinging to Apep's flesh was neither pure abyss power like what Ember saw, nor was it like the black mud in the rocky abyss.
Its state is somewhere in between, like a puddle of viscous liquid.
Near this viscous liquid, the power of the Grass Dragon is still fighting.
Surrounded by this pitch-black area, Apep's flesh and blood is an extremely deep dark green. At first glance, an inattentive person might actually mistake it for black.
Among the dark green intertwined vines, densely packed tender roots grow out. They penetrate deep into the darkness and absorb the possible "nutrients" from it.
"What is this called..., what is this called...?" Yi Jin looked at the scene in front of him and felt inexplicably familiar.
"According to you humans, it should be nutrient solution?"
"Yes! It's the nutrient solution!"
Ember clapped his hands and said with sudden realization. This thing seems to be used for growing vegetables?
"I followed your human method and rubbed the things in my body like this, hoping it would make me feel better." Apep's voice seemed to come from all directions, and it was extremely hoarse.
Looking at the vines that were about to move nearby, Yi Yan took a few steps back. He raised his head and said to Apep:
"Also, I'm different from the humans here. I just have a name. Can't I be so malicious?"
"I can see that humans can't be so strong." Apep's tone was a little weak. She still hadn't recovered from the punch that Yi Yan had just given her in the stomach.
"Then you are still attacking me?" The intertwined vines were untied, and they turned into long whips that broke the sound of the wind, whipping the embers that were hiding in all directions.
"Sorry, this is the stress response of my self-healing system. I can't control it, just stay away."
Apep explained with some embarrassment. After hearing this, Yi Yan stopped fussing and strode directly deeper into Apep's body.
