The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Then he was slapped away.

"boom!"

Falling to the ground, Yu Jin flipped himself up with a somersault. Looking at the vines dancing and filling the entire space, he wondered if Apep had eaten too many land octopuses and mutated.

"This...this is a bit of a test of my movement skills." The chaotic scene of demons dancing before his eyes successfully made Yu Jin wipe away non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.

Unexpectedly, deep within Apep's body, the "nutrient solution" formed by forbidden power was everywhere, resulting in the strange, tentacle-like sight before Ember.

"Did you figure it out?" Apep's voice was now clearly coming from behind Ember. The voice was muffled, as if it had penetrated through many barriers, which also reflected how deep Ember was in.

"No. To be honest, I'm not actually a doctor. The real doctor is the big peach that jumped into your mouth."

"..."

Yu Jin readily admitted that he had no clue, which naturally led to a moment of silent silence from Apep.

"Oh right, what about that big peach? Could it have really grown legs?" Yu Jin belatedly realized.

Why didn't he see the big peach after running inside Apep's body for so long?

Even if it really grew legs, it couldn't possibly run faster than me, right?

“It doesn’t have legs, it just ran into the world inside me.” The silent Apep finally broke her silence, responding to Ember with a hint of unease, even though she herself, as a dragon, didn’t have testicles.

"Phew... I should have used the vines to pull you all out back then." After carefully sensing the situation inside his body, Apep felt even more helpless.

If you were outside, you could see Appepp's speechless, distorted dragon face.

"Human, get ready, I'm about to send you in!"

"My name is Yu Jin, thank you."

"Not bad at all."

"Whoosh!"

After a brief exchange, countless blades of grass and flowers suddenly flew in from nowhere around Yu Jin.

These vibrant elements brought a long-lost vitality to Appepp's lifeless body, while also firmly enveloping the embers.

Once the rotating green light disappeared, the spot where Ember had stood was now empty.

……

"call!"

Feeling something step on, Yu Jin immediately covered his eyes.

A bunch of scattered leaves and grass spun wildly in front of him, making Yu Jin a little dizzy.

"Why does this teleportation always make me dizzy?" After making a slight complaint, Yu Jin strode into the new space he had arrived in.

Apep said he was sending Ember to a small world inside his body, but in Ember's eyes, the place in front of him couldn't even be considered a world.

It was indeed vast, but there were barriers. A massive, dark, semi-circular dome, as if carved from dusty jade, was inverted over this space, giving the world, which should have been boundless, visible boundaries.

Once there are visible boundaries, it no longer resembles a single world.

Even though thick tree roots intertwine here, even though lush grass grows here, even though there is a mirror-like stream here...

Looking up at the top of his head, Yu Jin's doubts vanished.

"The Heart of the Oasis? Sending me straight to the heart? Aren't you afraid I'll just punch it to pieces?"

Of course, the embers were just a figure of speech. At the very top of this space, several thick green vines grew like giant claws, firmly grasping a pulsating green sphere.

The sphere has many dense lines on its surface, and with each pulsation, these lines become clearer and more distinct.

This is the heart of the grass dragon, but it's more than just a heart.

"Good heavens, so the world inside your body is your heart?" Yu Jin exclaimed in surprise when he saw the patterns on the heart from afar.

Every line on the heart of the oasis is a majestic mountain range, and every verdant spot is a vast lake.

“Nurturing your family with your heart sounds pretty romantic.”

Ember stroked his chin. This sounded much better than Kutri raising the dragon lizard with his own shed skin.

"Still lamenting? If you keep lamenting, your peaches will be juiced." Apep clearly knew the state of his body through some means.

She saw Ember commenting on her Oasis Heart and quickly reminded him.

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Yu Jin looked around.

Then he saw the big white peach being kicked around like a ball by a group of strange-looking mushrooms.

"Drink! Take this punch!" Upon seeing this, Yu Jin immediately rushed forward and threw a punch.

"Boom!" The muddy water underfoot surged, the fine grass in the distance bowed low, and the mushroom beasts that had bullied the big white peach were all reduced to dust.

Surprisingly, these dead "mushroom beasts" did not turn into elemental energy and flow into the heart of the oasis like their counterparts; instead, they turned into a pile of wood debris.

"Look at these strange things, I knew they weren't fungus beasts," Ember said smugly as he picked up some debris from the ground.

“Those are certainly not my dependents, but my immune individuals. Go easy on them, don’t kill them all, I don’t want to be the first dragon to die of disease.”

"Oh, I see." Yu Jin nodded. So this was the immune individual within Apep's body. No wonder it beat up the big white peach.

As an outsider, who else would they beat up if not you?

"Hey! Do you have any ideas now?" Ember walked up to the white fruit and shook it.

The big white peach rolled a little further away, and then she released her aura, which did not belong to the grass dragon, to its maximum.

"What does this mean? Do you want to get beaten up again?" Yu Jin scratched his head, puzzled by Da Bai Taozi's actions.

"Wow!"

The sound of falling leaves being brushed aside was so abrupt that, beneath the murky water, a grayish-yellow figure appeared and disappeared.

"Gululu~"

The big white peach rolled into the grass beside it as if it were fleeing, leaving only Ember staring blankly at the water below.

"What is that?" Yu Jin thought it looked like a fish, but it was too soft.

After watching for a while, the thing was still swimming around on the ground and refused to come out, so Yu Jin gave up thinking and grabbed its exposed "dorsal fin" and pulled it out from under the ground.

"Splash!" The enormous, grayish-green creature was thrown onto the surface of the murky water by the embers. It rolled around as if it had no bones, and then shrank into a ball.

"Roar!!!"

However, it is clear that a single small shove could not harm this behemoth.

After a brief shake, perhaps of its head, it let out an angry roar.

"A grass slug with legs?" Ember asked, looking at the strange creature that was baring its teeth and claws at him.

The monster before them was a deathly grayish-green, mostly gray with very little green. Its body was slender and undulated freely, seemingly devoid of any bones.

However, because it has appendages on both sides of its body that resemble enlarged fins, it doesn't actually look as slender.

In addition, this strange creature has irregularly growing yellow horns on its body surface, which look extremely out of place and do not resemble its usual organs at all.

All of this points to the strangeness of the creature before him. But to Ember, it was just a slug with legs, which at most rolled around in the fallen leaves and then sprinkled some wood ash on itself.

Perhaps because Ember had called it a slug, the strange creature's aura intensified.

Upon seeing this, Yu Jin raised an eyebrow: "Although he's a slug, his strength is not bad."

Although he jokingly called it a slug, if it were to actually get out, it would probably cause headaches for the seven kingdoms.

This guy's strength, let's just say it, is enough to easily beat both the young master and the lady together.

"This is my Oasis Guardian, which you can think of as the personification of my self-healing system."

"Go easy on it, don't kill it, or you can call over any dragons you know to collect its corpse."

Apep was a little worried that Ember might go too far, so her tone was somewhat humble.

After all, this is her heart, the most vulnerable place for her as a grass dragon.

The stirring of the Oasis Heart represents not only the survival of the Grass Dragon, but also the survival of countless companions within the Oasis Heart.

It's never wrong to be careful.

“I understand.” Yu Jin nodded to Apep, who was peeking from somewhere. Since Apep had said so, he could just go easy on him from now on.

No matter what Ember and Appepp said, it had no effect on the Oasis Watchers.

This colossal creature has no consciousness whatsoever; its sole purpose is to annihilate everything that does not belong to the Heart of the Oasis.

"Bang!" The enormous appendage plunged into the murky water, splashing water droplets. Then, countless identical appendages, copied from the original, grew out of the murky water, lashing at the embers with all their might.

"Are you out of your mind? Why do you like hitting people so much?"

As the embers met the lash that was powerful enough to twist steel, they pulled out the growing appendages as if weeding out weeds.

The severed appendages on the ground transformed into specks of green elemental energy, returning to the body of the Oasis Guardian.

His specialized combat instincts have long allowed him to draw upon the elemental power within his own techniques to replenish himself.

As long as the enemy is not eliminated, its attack intensity will never be reduced due to a lack of elemental power.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Having failed in its first attack, the oasis's guardian launched another assault. It frantically pounded the ground with what appeared to be its head.

With each hammer blow, countless amounts of grass elemental energy are released, achieving a unique resonance with this space.

The released grass elemental energy came into contact with the turbid water splashing on the sea surface and instantly turned into a bouncing gray thorn ball.

These enormous thorny spheres were not only covered in sharp thorns, but also grew rapidly, spreading across the entire space in just a few head-shaped sections.

They bounced around the heart of Apep's oasis at a terrifying speed, turning the entire space into a meat grinder.

Any tangible flesh and blood body would likely be turned into mincemeat under such circumstances.

Even so, the guardian of the heart of the oasis was not satisfied. It tirelessly hammered the ground in an attempt to grow more thorn balls.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
