Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 399 First meeting with the grass dragon (5k)

The pure elemental brilliance shines in the empty cave,
Niguled subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to catch his friend who had turned into a little bit of elemental brilliance, but unfortunately he couldn't catch anything.

The giant elemental fungi, including the others, dissipated before his eyes.

Only a little elemental radiance floating in the cave can prove that they once existed.

Without waiting for Nigreid to carefully feel the fluctuating emotions in his heart,
Attracted by the pure elemental power, some twisted spirits appeared out of nowhere, trying to seize the elemental power floating in the cave.

Niguled's eyes turned cold, how could the brilliance lit up by the 'friends' who sacrificed their lives be taken away by these twisted things.

He held his right hand in the void, and a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand. With a movement of his footsteps, the sword split a distorted spirit approaching the elemental brilliance.

"Everyone, prevent twisted creatures from approaching elemental forces."

"Yes."

Chisha soldiers took orders one after another, pulled out their weapons, and rushed towards the twisted spirit.

And in the huge hollow, the terrifying dragon head sticking out was wrapped in strong pure elemental power, and it seemed that it didn't care about what happened below.

The strong pure elemental power continuously penetrated into the terrifying dragon head, as if it was fighting against something.

for a long time,

The terrifying dragon head opened his eyes again, and a faint emerald green appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Lowering his eyes slightly, he saw the Chisha warrior who was struggling with the twisted spirit.

Originally, the strength of the Chisha warriors was higher than those of the twisted spirits, but unfortunately, this is the gate of the grass dragon's palace and the base camp of the twisted spirits.

Here are twisted creatures, too many.

Almost inexhaustible.

Seeing the Chisha warriors fighting hard, the grass dragon raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with coldness.

He didn't mean to stop the twisted spirit.

Although these people were helping him by sending his people back, the grass dragon could feel the aura of such people.

People of the desert, people of Amon, 'enemies'.

Just like this, he raised his head and watched helplessly as the overwhelming twisted spirits gradually surrounded the Chisha warriors.

Niguled pierced a distorted creature with a sword, then raised his head, looked at the calm and terrifying dragon head, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Originally, in his thinking, they 'guarded' the terrifying dragon head to absorb the pure elemental power, so it should be right for them to expel these twisted spirits after the other party is done.

Who knew that the other party did nothing after absorbing the elemental power, just watching himself and others being besieged there.

For a while, Niguled realized that this terrifying existence might not be on the same side as Chisha.

Reluctantly, he swiped his right hand around his waist, and a golden elemental gem appeared in his hand.

"The Red Sand Lord said that if you encounter a problem that can't be solved, you can use his distraction crystal. The current situation can be regarded as an unsolvable situation."

With a thought, Niguled communicated with the royal way in the elemental gems and distracted himself.

The next moment, the vast light element exploded,
Niguled and the many Chisha warriors seemed to have soaked in a hot spring, the strength in his body was recovering, and the injuries on his body were healing.

On the other side, those distorted creatures had a completely different feeling, as if they were splashed with sulfuric acid, their bodies began to corrode and melt, and finally turned into a pair of coke.

Of course, it wasn't the Red Sand Warrior or the Twisted Creature that reacted the most to the explosive power of the distraction crystal, but the Grass Dragon.

The originally calm and terrifying dragon head, after the distraction crystal exploded with power,
Immediately there was a huge reaction,

The terrifying mouth opened, and angry voices swept the entire cave.

"Amon, hateful Amon, despicable Amon, despicable Amon, how dare you appear in front of me!"

Without waiting for anyone to call back,
The eyes of the terrifying dragon head kept flickering with two colors of sobriety and madness.

"No, no, Amon is dead, and his divine body has been swallowed by me. Who are you? Who are you?"

The angry roar of the dragon echoed in the empty cave.

The terrifying sound surged, and a look of pain appeared on Niguled's face,

And the Chisha soldiers even had bloodshot eyes around their ears.

The existence of the Dragon of Grass, even if it is just a roar, is a powerful attack for them.

The vast light elements gathered, and a handsome young man appeared,
"Please be quiet, Apep, my people cannot bear your divine power."

Wang Daoyi looked at the terrifying dragon head in front of him, and sighed inwardly at the wonder of nature.

Such a huge monster is actually a pure elemental creature.

Also as the pinnacle of elemental creatures, the wind dragon Twalin was like a young dragon in front of him.

Oh, and it might indeed be a baby dragon.

As for the Dragon King Ruo Tuo, Wang Daoyi is not sure, because he has never seen Ruo Tuo's real body, and what he saw in the seal back then was only the incarnation of Ruo Tuo's evil thoughts.

The real body of the Dragon King is still inside the seal.

Apepu lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Daoyi shrouded in brilliance,

"Who are you? You are not Amon."

"Of course I'm not Akhmar. He's already fallen. Don't you know it very well." Wang Daoyi smiled and floated up, gradually leveling up with Apepu.

"As for me, I am the new owner of the desert and the successor of the red gold authoritarian lord. I pass on the past and inspire the future. You can call me the mysterious lord of inheriting the law."

In front of the terrifying dragon head, Wang Daoyi introduced himself politely.

"Heh." There was a hint of disdain on Apepu's huge dragon head, "Amon's successors. You are all just bullies. If you appear in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will crush you!"

Wang Dao shook his head, stretched out his hand, and the vast light gathered, turning into pure elemental force and infecting Apepu's huge dragon head: "Apepu, you are sick, very sick."

Feeling the warmth brought by the pure elemental force, Apepu didn't have any intention of being happy, but endless anger appeared in the dragon's eyes.

"roar~"

"Amon's successor, I am sick, but who caused this, it is Amon, he deceived me, he calculated me."

Under Apepu's angry will, the violent dragon power swept the entire cave.

Wang Daoyi looked down, waved his hand,

The light golden shield wrapped Niguled and many soldiers,
Then a dark blue leyline channel emerged, engulfing them and sending them out of the cave.

After doing all this, Wang Daoyi looked at Apepu's dragon head again.

"I didn't come to fight with you, Apep, no matter what the Chijin Authoritarian Lord did, I think I can give compensation within my ability."

"Compensation? Compensation? Hahahahaha, ridiculous, little god, do you know what you are talking about? Is it because the majesty of [the sky] gave you confidence when you said such absurd words?"

"No, Apep, I have nothing to do with the sky. As the new god of the desert, I need to be responsible for the people of the desert. Your pain has caused many changes in the desert. For the people of the desert, I need you to restore normal."

"Normal? Ha, I'm normal. When I regain my strength, the first thing I will do is to turn everything left by Amon into ruins and let the world feel the pain I am suffering now."

Seeing Apepu's crazy appearance, Wang Daoyi was not only a little helpless,

In Wang Daoyi's view, the grass dragon Apepu shouldn't be so crazy, he should be wise and rational.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to survive the ancient war.

And he has become like this now, it can only be the influence of taboo knowledge.

The terrifying cognition of taboo knowledge in his heart has strengthened a little bit.

Even an elemental dragon that survived from ancient times would be tortured to madness by forbidden knowledge.

This kind of thing is too dangerous.

Shaking his head, Wang Daoyi gave up the option of persuading Apepu.

Taboo knowledge has already distorted the opponent's reason, and talking about it doesn't work at all.

The vast light converged, turning Wang Daoyi's figure into a pure elemental body.

"Since you hate us so much, then, Apepu, swallow me now and vent your anger." Wang Daoyi said.

Since talking about it doesn't work, let's go straight to it. Anyway, Wang Daoyi's original purpose was to supplement Apepu's elemental power and resist the infection of taboo knowledge.

Whether it is to let Apep quietly accept his own elemental force transmission,
Instead, let Apep swallow his elemental body directly,

Both can achieve the purpose of replenishing elemental power to Apepu, and it is the same for Wang Daoyi.

Apepu stared: "Do you think I dare not?"

Wang Daoyi looked at him: "Since you dared, why didn't you say anything? Is it because the Chijin Authoritarian Lord taught you a painful lesson?"

He also heard Wang Dao mentioning the Scarlet King, and he still mentioned the wound in his heart.

There was an angry look in Apep's dragon eyes, and it didn't matter if it was a trap or something.

The terrifying mouth opened, and the dragon's body rushed forward, swallowing the kingly way that radiated endless light.

The next moment, the kingly way of light gathering began to disintegrate, turning into pure elemental power, infiltrating into Apepu's body, replenishing the elemental power in his body.

After being suckled fiercely, the anger and madness in Apep's eyes dissipated slightly, revealing a little clarity.

"It's like this again, it's like this again, why, why!"

"I don't need your rescue, I don't need it, I never need it!"

"Your Majesty [Nibelungen], what should I do?"

With a little struggle and confusion, Apep, who regained some clarity, slowly retracted the huge dragon head into the radiant hollow.
-
the other side,
Niguled and his party, who were still in front of Apepu Palace, were engulfed by Wang Daoyi's ley channel.

After coming out of the ley line channel, they found that they had returned to Chisha headquarters.

Then they saw a pretty girl walking towards them.

"Your Excellency Niguled, the Lord invites you to go to the temple." Kaisha looked at the group of people full of battle marks in front of her and said to Niguled.

Then he looked at the others: "As for you, go back to the camp and rest first, and the elders of West Germany will come back to reschedule your work after tomorrow."

"Okay." Niguled nodded.

The others also responded, supporting each other and walking towards the camp of the holy skeleton warriors.

Following Kai'Sa, Niguled came to the temple area, and could vaguely hear the scholar named Kawi talking to the craftsmen.

Coming to a large hall deep in the temple, Niguled saw the owner of Chisha.

However, compared to the previous meeting, Nicored somehow felt that the other party was much weaker.

"My lord, Your Excellency Niguled has brought you here." Kai'Sa bowed to Wang Dao and his party.

On the throne, Wang Dao nodded his head: "Okay, Kaisha, go down first."

Kai'Sa nodded, and left after saying yes.

After Kai'Sa left, Wang Daoyi looked at Niguled: "How do you feel?"

Nigreid thought that the other party was asking him how he felt about that terrifying ancient dragon.

A trace of dread and fear appeared in his eyes: "The unimaginable life is too dangerous."

Niguled couldn't imagine what would happen to Chisha if the terrifying ancient dragon attacked Chisha.

Perhaps, there is no other way but to wait for death.

but
Thinking about it, Niguled raised his head and looked at Wang Daoyi. However, the Red Sand Lord might not let such a thing happen.

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly. What he asked was not about this matter. Although the distraction of Apepu's existence had disappeared, Wang Daoyi had already understood Apepu's current situation.

The opponent has already tried his best to fight against the infection of taboo knowledge, even the elemental spirit in his body can't protect him, so he has the power to deal with Chisha.

He asked Nigreid how he felt, if he had any feelings after the giant elemental fungus left.

"No, the feeling I'm talking about isn't about this, it's about those elemental mushroom beasts."

"After being with them day and night, and after going through a journey with them, and finally watching them die, and even the memory is 'burned out', don't you feel anything in your heart?"

As soon as Wang Dao looked at Niguled, he opened his mouth to guide.

Nicholas frowned slightly,

In Wang Daoyi's narration, the shock to Apepu faded from his heart,
A strange feeling resurfaced in his heart.

The image of the elemental mushroom beasts dissipating as elemental brilliance reappeared in his heart.

His right hand touched his chest unconsciously.

Nicolaide felt the throbbing in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt a trace of moisture appear in the corner of his eyes.

"I cried?"

Nicolaide is a little incredible,

He is an alchemy life, an incomplete person, theoretically, he would not cry.

But now, without his understanding at all, some tears appeared in the corner of his eyes.

"I don't understand, am I sad?"

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Niguled couldn't control his emotions at all,

The throbbing in his heart became more and more violent, and uncontrollable tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Little by little with the elemental mushroom beasts emerged in his mind,

"Friend, you will remember us, won't you?"

"Of course, I will remember you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for remembering us, friend."

One picture after another echoed in Niguled's mind, like a ruthless blade piercing his heart defense.

The tears in the corners of my eyes became more and more uncontrollable.

At this moment, the alchemist who doesn't know how to empathize can finally clearly feel the emotions that belong to [humans].

"Is this sadness?" Niguled muttered to himself as tears fell on the palm of his hand.

From the very beginning, he longed to become a [person] like Abedo.

But he never thought that the original [human] emotions would be so uncomfortable, so sad.

On the throne, Wang Daoyi applauded slowly, with a smile: "Congratulations, Niguled, you are one step closer to [human]."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's applause and words,
Niguled wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and raised his head: "Is all human growth so uncomfortable? Or is it that growth comes at the cost of loss?"

"Of course not, Nicolaide, man is a very complex creature, he is three-dimensional, not one-sided, whether happy and happy, or sad and sad, are all part of growing up, but sadness is more important than happiness. It’s easier to be remembered.”

Nigreid nodded, stroking his chest with his right hand, feeling the sadness inside carefully, and looking for the happy memory with the elemental mushroom beast in the sadness.

Do experiments with elemental mushroom beasts, study their life forms,
Clean up the dead zone with the Elemental Fungi and help them recall the last elemental powers of their families.

Going home with the elemental mushroom beast, all kinds of dangers and interesting things experienced on the way.

Numerous pictures appeared in Niguled's mind.

Gradually, his brows relaxed: "Is this friendship? It's really wonderful. There are joys, quarrels, and sadness after loss."

Seeing Niguled's reaction, Wang Daoyi smiled, which was in his expectation.

After knowing that the elemental mushroom beast returns home, it means disappearing,

Wang Daoyi specially handed over this matter to Niguled.

In fact, Niguled has been in Chisha for so long, and he has formed a deep bond with the people of Chisha.
But Nicolaide didn't understand these fetters, he simply felt that he was valued and was very happy.

And Wang Daoyi let him go through a journey of encounter, entanglement, and loss this time, just to let Niguled understand,

The happiness in his heart is brought about by the fetters of friendship.

And after experiencing a farewell to the elemental mushroom beast, Niguled will naturally cherish the bond with Chisha even more.

That's right, everything was calculated by Wang Daoyi.

After a long time, Niguled's emotions calmed down. He looked at Wang Daoyi and bowed slightly: "Lord of Red Sand, thank you for your advice."

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "It's okay, Abedo taught you to me, and I will naturally guide you to grow."

Nicored nodded, and did not continue the topic. He looked at Wang Daoyi, showing a trace of worry: "You seem to be weak?"

Wang Dao nodded: "It doesn't seem like it's really weak. The elemental gems I gave you at the beginning contained most of my elemental power. After losing those elemental powers, the elemental power within the scope of Chisha's headquarters will not be affected. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least half a month for me to recover."

"Is it so serious?" Niguled felt a little embarrassed. In his opinion, Wang Daoyi would not have been so weak if he hadn't used the elemental gems himself in the end.

Seeing the shame of the other party, Wang Daoyi comforted him: "It's not your fault, I've already prepared to let you bring the elemental gems there, just to give it to Apepu."

Niguled was taken aback for a moment, so it was like this?
Then he didn't say much, and left.
