In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

"Ah."

"Strictly speaking."

"None of these are considered fungus beasts."

Rhodes told Narcida what he knew.

The kind of mushroom he was looking for.

They weren't actually fungus beasts, but rather grass dragon people who once lived inside Apep's body; they only resembled fungus beasts in appearance.

Unlike fungi that evolved from spores.

These grass dragon people, like Apep, are genuine elemental beings.

Aside from their mushroom-like appearance, their physical structure is essentially still the flow of elements.

Like Appepp.

These people, the descendants of the grass dragon, were also corrupted by taboo knowledge.

Another thing they have in common is...

Apep's people are also highly adaptable to the natural environment.

Therefore, they were not tormented by the contamination of forbidden knowledge and did not exhibit symptoms of madness like Dvalin. After a long period of evolution, they, like Apep, successfully adapted to the forbidden knowledge within their bodies and achieved a balance between elemental power and forbidden knowledge.

Furthermore, through their observations, they confirmed that the fungus form was the most adapted to the current environment.

So these grass dragon people took the initiative to change their form, gradually evolving into the appearance of fungus beasts, and gradually integrating into the fungus beast race.

It is precisely because of this.

When the taboo knowledge was removed, they exhibited the exact same symptoms as Apep.

This means that a huge cavity appears in the body, which obstructs the flow of elemental forces, and subsequently causes a series of sudden symptoms such as fainting and mania.

If placed in normal times.

It is very difficult to distinguish the true difference between the grass dragon people and the mushroom beasts.

But now it's much easier to find.

With the help of these Grass Dragon people, it will be much safer to approach Apep.

And there's something Rhodes didn't mention.

That is, if the fire is damaged during Apep's treatment, these Grass Dragon people can help fill the gap in the fire and use their own strength to help Apep recover his health.

It can be said to be a double insurance.

After learning about these circumstances.

Naxi Da immediately contacted Lannaruo in the rainforest, asking the tribes of the grass god's followers to help search for any fungus beasts that matched these characteristics. She also notified the group of thirty people to help with the search.

Then came the waiting period.

Naxida during this period.

Besides continuing to nourish Patishalan, the form of the Great Tree King, with her elemental power, she also kept an eye on Rhodes's condition.

because she found out.

Since the proposal to treat Appepp was made.

Rod had been in a bad mood.

Several times I felt like I had something to say to myself, but in the end I forced myself to hold it back.

If it weren't for the fact that I can't read Rhodes' heart.

Nasita was definitely eager to see what he was struggling with!

This atmosphere lasted for a while.

Seeing that Rhodes was still hesitant, Nasita, unable to suppress her curiosity, finally asked, "You seem to have something to say. There are no outsiders here, so just say it. Although I am not very strong, I am still a god of Sumeru, and I can help you with most things."

"."

Rod glanced at her, then shook his head without saying a word.

"???"

The more he acted this way, the stranger Nasita became.

Rod is not the type of person who hides things and is afraid to speak out when something happens.

So what is his current performance?

This means that the trouble he encountered was likely something that even a deity like the Little Lucky Grass King would find difficult to resolve.

What exactly will happen?

"Even if it's a problem I can't solve, you should tell me first, and then we can figure out a solution together. Keeping it bottled up inside only adds to your troubles and doesn't do you any good."

Naxi Da persuaded him again.

After she said this.

Rod sighed and said sullenly, "I probably won't be able to go see Appepp with you."

"Ok?"

Nasita blinked: "Why?"

"Because I inherited the power of the Red King's followers from the descendants of the Red King's priests."

Rhodes said with a troubled expression, "You remember I told you, right? Apep was tricked by the Crimson King. When she was about to lose control of the forbidden knowledge in the desert, she swallowed the Crimson King's corpse, which was covered in forbidden knowledge, and almost died from the ordeal. The reason why the common people we are looking for fled is because after the Grass Dragon swallowed the forbidden knowledge, the environment inside its body suddenly changed from a peaceful dreamland to a terrifying apocalyptic disaster. That's why those Grass Dragon people had no choice but to flee their homes. I'm a little worried."

As intelligent as Narcida was, she quickly discerned from Rhodes' words what was troubling him.

"Are you afraid that the Grass Dragon will sense the demonic power within you and then lose control due to hatred?"

talking.

Instead of trying to help Rhodes, Narcida burst out laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"Do you have a way to solve this?"

Narcida's sudden laughter left Rhodes somewhat bewildered.

At the same time, he started guessing.

Nasita seems to have a real way of dealing with the problem of having the chance to drive Appepp crazy.

So what method will she use?

Should we ask another deity for help? Or just rely on empty words?

However, Narcida's subsequent answers were none of the solutions Rhodes had come up with.

She said, "Who told you that the power of Hermanubis is the power of the Red King?"

"what?"

This unexpected answer left Rod momentarily stunned.

Isn't the power of Hermanubis a power bestowed by the Red King upon his priests and their retinue?

For an instant.

Rhodes' mind was racing.

He suddenly realized that if Nasita was right, then he had fallen into a huge misconception in dealing with the divine power offered by the priests.

That's just wishful thinking!

In Rhodes's initial idea.

The position of priest of the Red King is so important that it must be held by someone in the Red King's retinue. As someone in the Red King's retinue, the Red King will surely bestow divine blessings as a reward and a legacy.

That's why Rhodes always believed that the power of Hermanubis was a gift from the Red King.

He even considered himself the legitimate messenger of the Crimson King, and never doubted whether this power was actually the power of the Crimson King.

Nasita's explanation arrived once again at the opportune moment.

"The power of Hermanus".

"It was inherited from Hermanubis, one of the seven sages under the Red King, not from the Red King himself."

Hermanubis, one of the seven sages under the Red King.

This is a novel term.

Rod's mouth gaped open, unsure how to accept Xida's words.

He suddenly realized.

Despite my pride in thoroughly understanding the plot, it was actually full of flaws.

He knew absolutely nothing about the relationship between Hermanubis and the Red King!

Think of this.

Rhodes' eyelid twitched involuntarily.

"and many more!"
