People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 222: Apep finally took the bait
In the Xumi region, deep in the desert where no grass grows.

After a strange combination of a young god and three mushrooms came to the desert,

In the hollow beneath the boundless sea of ​​sand,

Apep, who had been hiding for a long time, finally started his own action.

This ancient dragon king is even bigger than a mountain.

With its body shape that has been constantly adapting and changing over thousands of years in the desert,
Just like a fish swimming in the water, it silently merged into the sand flow.

Apep had already sensed the very familiar aura of grass elemental authority.

——Whether it is the Great Compassion Tree King or her successor,
The power they were so proud of was originally the power that was taken away from it by heaven.

It is different from the unknown grass power of the outsider.

The power separated from it is the best way to position it.

When you transfer location,

Apep also forcibly resisted the pain and anger that was constantly coming from his body.
Once again, information is extracted from the grass elemental power scattered across the desert.

As expected, it was pretty close.

The weak god deceived his followers and used the connection between them to determine his approximate location.
Amon's kind are indeed extremely despicable!

Although he was extremely angry, Apep did not think he would really be discovered while he was on the move.

——As an ancient dragon king of the grass element, "adaptation" and "assimilation" have become instincts engraved in its life.

Ever since the Dragon King was defeated and he went to the gap in the world to obtain the power of the abyss, but was stopped by the long spikes that fell from the sky,

Witnessed the transformation of the rainforest into a desert.
Apep, who has lived in this endless yellow sand for thousands of years, has almost merged with this barren land.

During the countless years of evolution and development, it is confident enough that it will not be found by this weak god and outsider.

——What if I use its followers to get my approximate location?
In such a vague range, how could these two gods with shallow accumulation and limited means possibly find it?

Apep felt relieved because he did not detect the presence of the alien in the surrounding area.

After determining Nashida's location,
It continued to move towards the distance in an extremely delicate manner as if it had merged into the yellow sand.

In such a vague range,

They won't be able to detect my movements in any way, so they should give up after a while, right?

Disdainful of their fruitless search,
The stealthy Apep once again explored the location of the weak god.

???

".Why are you coming to me? It shouldn't be this precise when you're just using the weak connection between the followers and the birther!"

When he found that Nashida had only stayed there for a short while and then turned in the direction he was moving,

Apep, who originally did not take this search seriously, paused with his huge snake-like body.

Suddenly I realized that I might have overlooked some extremely critical information.

——The successor of the Great Compassion Tree King must have something in his hand that can sense its location.

If this goes on, even if they still can't find me,
But if you miss the opportunity to suppress the forbidden knowledge during the continuous transfer,

The injury that had finally calmed down a little would become serious again, or even all the previous efforts would be wasted.

"."

"——No! We can't let things continue like this!"

Determined to find out why the other party positions you and take countermeasures,

Apep carefully analyzed the results of his previous investigations in his mind, trying to figure out what problem he had missed.

A weak god. No problem. With such a weak aura of authority, she definitely does not have the ability to position herself.

There are three oasis followers with the same elemental aura as me. Although there is one more than before, the problem should not be with them.
Not wanting the other party to notice anything unusual, Apep's investigation was very subtle, so it was not as accurate as when he checked in person.
But when you are avoiding the enemy's search, it is enough to be able to confirm the direction, and a little blur will not have any effect.

At this moment, the very puzzled Apep repeatedly felt the aura around the other party,
For a long time,

When he finally realized that the new grass god was in his hand,

Behind the emerald green crystal that seemed to be deliberately concealed, only a faint breath was leaking out.

Under the torture of forbidden knowledge, Apep, whose many memories had become blurred, finally remembered what this thing was.

——A thousand years ago, the previous generation of the God of Grass promised to heal the forbidden knowledge pollution in his body in the future, and borrowed a little of his power to create a "token".

This emerald green crystal can not only point you in the right direction, but also has the ability to resonate with the oasis in your body.

If the forbidden knowledge is eliminated, it can indeed provide valuable power for the rekindling of the oasis.

"."

"Oh, is it because of this thing?"

"It has been a thousand years since the promise was made, and not only has the forbidden knowledge not been cleared away,

Your successor is still so weak, there is absolutely no possibility of fulfilling his promise."

".Sure enough, I shouldn't have expected anything from Amon's kind from the beginning."

There was a brief silence.
Apep finally recalled the god of plants who had promised to heal him.

It almost went crazy under the torture of forbidden knowledge.

Now I can no longer understand what kind of mentality I had when I made the decision to cooperate with the other party.

And while it was thinking,
Those whispers that often appeared in his ears under the stimulation of taboo knowledge also once again demonstrated their presence:
"."

".The gods are vile creatures."

".All human beings in this world are shameless predators."

". Let go of your guard, follow the steps of the Dragon King, stop being timid, and completely accept this great power from outside the world."

He shook his huge head slightly in the sea of ​​sand to dispel these annoying voices from his mind.

It felt that it had completely suppressed the forbidden knowledge, and made the final decision completely under its own will:

——Find the location of the alien and try to lure it away.
While the two of them were apart, he destroyed the elemental crystal that could locate him, and completely got rid of the tracking of these little bugs. ——This historical remnant that once placed its hopes on the gods for its future, now had no need to exist except to add obstacles to itself.

Slightly expanded my perception range,

He keenly caught the abnormality of a red eagle in the sky,

Even if the other party has concealed the aura of power as much as possible, it will undoubtedly have no effect in front of him.

Apep easily saw through the other party's disguise and shook his head in disdain.

He summoned several of the strongest sandworms, ready to carry out his next plan to lure the enemy.

In the sky covered by sandstorm.

There was not a single cloud in the arid desert, and even the only clear sky was now dyed an ominous red.

Accompanied by a blurry figure passing by from high in the sky,
A bird of prey covered in reddish-brown feathers.

It also "carefully" passed through the slight wind and sand in front of it, hiding its own breath.

——This is the elemental body that Lin Feng specially condensed by using the incarnation method taught by the Emperor of the Immortal Ceremony.

After flying in the sky for a long time, having tried its best to hide its breath, it finally came time for it to play its role.

I noticed something strange in the sand in the distance.

In Apep's eyes, "a cunning god disguised as a red eagle"
It seemed that after hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to chase after him.

As it flew rapidly, its figure gradually moved away from the direction where Nashida and the three mushrooms were.

"Oh, no matter how powerful I am, I will still be lured away by a few sandworms carrying my power."

"Action split up? This is your worst choice."

Feeling the "alien" aura moving away, Apep smiled sarcastically under the yellow sand and was not at all surprised by the current result.

——The other party's disguise was indeed very clever. Not only did he change his appearance, but he also exuded a vague aura of authority.

Even ordinary gods might not be able to connect it with the previous outsider.

——But as a god in the rainforest, the other party did not understand the ecology of the desert very well, so he revealed a very fatal flaw.

Not to mention that in such a strong sandstorm, the red eagle would not leave its nest.
In its surroundings, the only targets with elemental power are the new Grass God and his three followers.
The only one left was the red eagle trying its best to hide its breath in the sky.

As the Grass Dragon King who is most sensitive to the breath of life, no creature can hide its existence from Apep's perception.

Even that abnormal being from outside the world is not an option, this is one thing it is absolutely sure of.

From the very beginning, he didn't believe that the other party would let the weak God of Grass act alone, so Apep started looking for the guy he really feared early on.

Seeing that he had finally succeeded in temporarily luring the other party away, Apep turned around and approached the weak god who was still unaware that he was about to face a disaster.

It is clear that for such an existence, a distance that is too short cannot delay time.

Apep directly ordered the sandworms he summoned to dig as deep underground as possible without any holes.
By utilizing the sandworm's specialized body structure that is good at digging and the property that its teleportation cannot overlap with existing objects, the time it takes for the other party to discover the truth can be delayed to the greatest extent possible.

Apep waited patiently for the final result.

When you are sure that the other party has gone far enough away and cannot return in a short time,

Finally, I confirmed that there were no other elemental life reactions in the surrounding area.
We have also planned an evacuation plan in case of an emergency.
This rare grass dragon, which did not use force to overwhelm others and was "extremely wise", finally began to act on its own.

In the endless yellow sand,

A team consisting of a little girl and three mushrooms was traveling through the sandstorm.

Brown mushrooms and green mushrooms are jumping around on the ground.
The blue bubble-like mushroom beast seemed to be in a state of low spirits and was currently being held in the arms of the little grass god.

Nashida tried her best to conceal the existence of the emerald green crystal in her hand as Lin Feng requested, while following the guidance provided by the fire.

With the help of Zhongli and Venti, the area where the Grass Dragon appears has actually been greatly reduced.

Lin Feng not only replaced the other gods' followers with those of the other two gods, but also deliberately created the illusion of acting separately.

Now all preparations are ready.
It all depends on whether the Grass Dragon's remaining judgment after hundreds of years of torture from forbidden knowledge can support it in seeing through this trap.

"Bait! Be careful."

After sensing the presence of something moving underground in the distance,
Lin Feng turned his attention back from the avatar that was actively led away by Apep.

It floated out from Nashida's arms and warned the little guy who might be directly attacked by Apep.

Even if they switched sides, he felt that the Grass Dragon would not be able to guess that these three mushrooms were the main force that would attack it later.

But whether the other party will show up is indeed an unknown.

After receiving the reminder, Nashida tried her best not to show any strange expression.
While looking at the three mushrooms beside him, he was a little nervous about whether this operation could be successful.

——I just hope that this emerald green crystal that was dug out from the Jingshan Palace and called the fire seed by the brown mushroom beast will be attractive enough to Apep.

At this moment, after the only abnormality in the surrounding area was led away by the other party,

If this Green Grass Dragon intends to show up, it will be in the next short period of time.

A few days ago, I learned about Lin Feng's ambitious goal of gathering the power of the seven elements.

He also learned from the Rock God that the power of the grass element would play a key role in his subsequent actions.

Nashida pursed her lips, and together with the three harmless little mushrooms around her, she alertly explored the surroundings for any signs of abnormality.

Didn't come or didn't come
"Rumble--"

!!!

And just when she even thought that this operation had failed,
It is necessary to adopt plan B, which is to have the four gods directly block off a large area and then search it bit by bit after a time-consuming and laborious process.

A strong tremor and noise, like a giant moving underground, suddenly came from under the feet of the Mushroom Team.

The wind and sand were dispersed, the rocks were crushed, and the surrounding mountains gradually collapsed.

Faced with this scene that is enough to frighten ordinary people to the point of kneeling down and begging for mercy,

The three pairs of dull and lifeless small round eyes of the mushroom beasts present suddenly burst into an unprecedented bright light.

——Finally you’ve taken the bait. If you dare to show up, you won’t be able to escape!
