People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 214: Journey to Xumi
Xumiu, in the northwest direction with dense forests.

Because it is very close to the largest mushroom ecosystem in the entire Xumi, there are also many mushroom beast groups distributed on this green plain near the sea.

During the geological transformation carried out some time ago in order to open up trade routes,
Since this area is far away from the main roads and has no residents, its topography remains almost the same as before.

It is for this reason that the few fields that show signs of fine cultivation in the core area where the mushroom beasts live are particularly eye-catching.

Surrounding these farmlands planted with many crops, the mushroom beasts, which were originally divided into groups according to different elemental forms, are now living together in unprecedented harmony.

But what is very counterintuitive is that in such a large community of mushroom beasts, the leaders are a blue floating water mushroom beast and a light green floating wind mushroom beast.

At this moment, these two "floating mushrooms" that seemed particularly intelligent were discussing something in the corner of the gathering place.

".Have all the family members been brought back?"

Using a language that was different from the way mushroom beasts communicate, the light green mushroom shook its body and asked the companion in front of it.

"Yes, I followed that god for a while before, and found the remnants of my family in the elements that were transformed after the end of the world."

"Now, except for our compatriots in the desert, there is no "doomsday" in the rain forest."

The blue mushroom beast is obviously very different from its silly appearance.

In terms of language fluency and intelligence, it seems to be much better than the light green mushroom next to it.
While talking, he also surprisingly directed other companions to cultivate and pick crops in the fields like humans.

They have such abnormal behaviors, so they are naturally not real mushroom beasts.
It was the same ancient mushroom that Lin Feng found in the abyss some time ago.

——It is an elemental life that was bred by the Green Grass Dragon Apep in ancient times.

Although during the long evolution, these most adaptable creatures have become completely indistinguishable from ordinary mushroom beasts in appearance,
However, they have high intelligence and special powers, and they chose to leave their hometown and come to this rainforest. Naturally, they also have an important mission.
——That is, to find a way to heal the Grass Dragon and save it from the "end of the world".

".The King of Grass, agreed, but there are two of them"

The light green mushroom shook its body, and then quickly became listless after being excited, as if it had encountered some difficult problems that were difficult to solve.

".I understand what you mean, but I don't know what exactly happened."

"Doomsday has been significantly weakened, but it hasn't been completely eliminated, and there are now two Grass Kings."

".I'm not sure whether the previous 'promise' can be fulfilled."

Recalling my previous experiences,

Even though it is one of the oldest life forms on this continent, it is still very difficult to understand.

——Why did the successor of the Lady of Grass and Trees become two? This was not mentioned in the previous agreement.
Over the past few hundred years, it and its remaining companions have been trying to eliminate some relatively weak dead zones with their own power.

And in doing so, he took in the elemental forces that represented his family's origins into his own body, hoping to bring them back with him when he returned home.

But the power of the dead zone is too terrible for them.

Because of the special life form,
Once they, who have too much forbidden knowledge, die on this land, it will directly lead to the birth of a new dead zone.

Collecting the memories and elemental powers from the dead zones will intensify the infection of forbidden knowledge on them, greatly increasing the pressure on their survival.

Thus, over hundreds of years, its companions that had originally accompanied it died one after another, and in the end it was the only one left.

This elemental life, which looks like a floating water-attributed mushroom, temporarily preserves the elemental power that gathers the other party's memories and emotions.
In the hopeless time, they wait for the day when the God of Grass will fulfill his promise and take them back to their hometown.

——But everything changed dramatically a year ago.

Not only did the original Grass God, who had been born long ago but had never been seen, begin to move again,
Another Grass King with greater power and purer aura suddenly appeared on the continent.

Perhaps it is the impact of this change.

After a short period of time, not only was it inexplicably weakened by the forbidden knowledge it suffered,
Even the dead zone of the entire Sumeru Rainforest area was completely eliminated by the opponent's power, turning into a pure land without doomsday.

Worried that the memories and emotions of its companions would dissipate, it tried its best to recycle the residual elemental forces that seemed to have no special meaning to other lives.
And when he was about to finish the collection, he happened to meet this companion who seemed to have forgotten many things, and they chose to stay here and live together.

Coming back from its thoughts, it looked at its companion who seemed a little uneasy, and spoke to comfort him:

"Don't worry too much. I believe in the Grass King and her successor."

"——Find companions, wait, and then the King of Grass will take us 'home'."

"This is an agreement that was made hundreds of years ago."

"——Even if something unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to return to our original home."

It is not only comforting your companions, but also strengthening your own beliefs.
Having spent hundreds of years in torment by forbidden knowledge, it firmly believes that the promised day will finally come.

"."

".Family, long time no see."

!!!

At this moment, a language that only they understood reached the ears of the two mushroom beasts.

It has been confirmed that there are no remaining companions of the two mushroom beasts in the entire Xumi Rainforest.

For a moment, even his body shook twice, and he was almost scared to jump up.

And when they found the source of the sound, even in the form of mushroom beasts, they still showed a look of surprise visible to the naked eye:

".They are "family members" who have gone to very deep places."

"It's you? But what about the "Doomsday" on you?"

After seeing this brown mushroom, which theoretically should never appear here,

Although the only two remaining elemental creatures were very happy, their focuses were completely different.

The simple-minded floating wind mushroom beast is just simply happy.

But the floating mushroom beast, which had been responsible for most of the thinking work,
However, they keenly discovered that there was no trace of forbidden knowledge contamination on the body of their fellow tribesman, which should be an impossible situation for them!
"I know you must have many questions. I will explain these questions to you one by one when we return to our hometown." The large mushroom beast that looked like a brown mushroom responded.

After a pause, he came back to his senses from the slight joy of seeing his fellow tribesmen.

It remembered the core purpose of its trip, looked at the two companions in front of it and said:
".We have been separated for too long, and because of my choice, after leaving my hometown, I have even forgotten what other people of my race look like."

"——Now, the reason why I was able to find this place and meet you in such a 'healthy' state is because of the help of the two Grass Kings."

He noticed that the two mushroom beasts in front of him didn't quite understand what he said, but they were obviously very curious about his experience.

The brown mushroom that Lin Feng fished out from the abyss recalled the recent journey and continued:

"All in all, I'm here with good news."

"-Although some changes have occurred, the two grass kings today, like the mistress of the grass, have good intentions."

"Even though there are two heirs, our agreement still stands.

And the power that one of these gods possesses is to completely purify us of the forbidden knowledge."

".You mean one of the 'Grass Kings' has the power to purify the 'Doomsday' by himself?"

The blue water mushroom beast looked somewhat incredulous.

"Exactly."

"The aura of 'Doomsday' cannot be hidden. Isn't my current state the best proof of this?"

The brown mushroom responded.

"——The Doomsday has not yet been completely eliminated. This power may be the last hope to save the Grass Dragon."

".However, the Grass Dragon does not trust the gods of today, which is why I am here."

Because these mushroom beasts are essentially a group of elemental forces with memories and emotions,
They can directly connect with each other's hearts, and there is no concept of "deception" among the group.

Even though the amount of information conveyed by this brown mushroom beast was too great, the other two elemental creatures did not have any doubts about it.

".Grass Dragon, go home, what are we going to do?"

The floating light green wind mushroom beast asked.

"."

"——The power of that god is far beyond the level that a successor should have. If a conflict occurs, the current Grass Dragon may not be a match for the opponent."

"——Find as many people of the same tribe as possible to serve as messengers to contact both sides and eliminate the misunderstandings and conflicts between them as much as possible. This is probably the most valuable thing we can do."

After a moment of silence, he recalled the powerful authority he had felt from the god after waking up.
It was very clear how serious the Grass Dragon's injuries were, and it absolutely did not want its 'mother' to conflict with it under such circumstances.

Therefore, after being sent to the Jingshan Palace by those strange creatures called 'Lannalo' and meeting the second King of Grass,
Only after obtaining the other party's consent and using various means did it finally find the two of its own kind in front of it.

"."

Because we receive too much information in a short period of time,
The elemental life forms, which did not have the same complex thinking ability as humans, fell silent and thought.

The largest brown mushroom beast did not urge him.

It just stayed there quietly, and only gave detailed answers when the other party asked questions.
After convincing these two fellow tribesmen, he planned to do his best to avoid the terrible outcome that might lead to the disappearance of his "home".

Liyue Harbor, eating Tiger Rock.

In front of the Liyue Bridge that spans the river below, Lin Feng packed his luggage and waited quietly for Zhongli's arrival.

After the conversation with the old man a few days ago, he had been thinking about how to contact the Grass Dragon Apep.

It would be best if you could directly convince the other party to make a deal, as this is an outcome that maximizes the benefits for both parties.

——But if the talks really fail, we must also consider how to subdue this oldest elemental dragon king as quickly as possible.

After weighing the combat effectiveness of both sides, Lin Feng felt that his lineup was basically a sure win against a sick Grass Dragon, but he had to guard against the opponent escaping in the middle.

——After all, the opponent’s authority is now incomplete and far from reaching the level of complete elemental power.

Even if we don't count Wendy who suddenly found me a few days ago and said he wanted to go to Xumi, and Xiaobai who was the final backup,

Together with Zhongli and Nashida, they possess four complete elemental powers and are in a state of complete crushing.

I just don't know what the Grass Dragon's mental state is like now.
After all, the game clearly states that "forbidden knowledge" will amplify the opponent's anger and hatred.

This influence was still very strong even after the Great Compassion Tree King disappeared, let alone now.

Thinking about what would happen if Apep found that he couldn't escape,
When he was so angry that he decided to fight these four "little gods" desperately,
Lin Feng also saw Zhongli and Wendy approaching from a distance.

He walked forward, smiled and waved to the two friends who came to help boost the morale, and said:
".Thank you for coming to help. Although I will try my best to avoid direct conflicts during this trip to the desert, no one can guess the current situation of the Grass Dragon."

"——If a battle really breaks out, I would like to trouble you two to do your best to help the people of Xumi eliminate the aftermath of the battle when you take action."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I suddenly remembered that I still seem to have a little bit of strength left. I can still help cheer you on when you fight with the old man."

Wendy, who was wearing a small white shirt, patted her chest and spoke with pride.

Lin Feng: “.” You can only cheer and shout. How can you be proud of yourself?

I was silent for a while. I have gotten used to this guy's nonsense.
Knowing that Wendy is willing to go this time is actually a clear expression of her attitude. Lin Feng is not worried that the other party will really not put in any effort at that time.

paused for a moment,
After noticing the old man's calm and reliable look,
He felt that there were still normal people in the team, and said with relief:
"——In short, I won't waste any more time on gossip. Since you and Wendy are ready,

We can discuss the rest later, let’s just go.”
