People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 402: A moment of leisure in the garden and Nashida's encouragement

The next morning, in the middle of the desert, in Apep's territory.

The aftermath of awakening completely dissipated, and the green grass in the oasis grew taller and regained its former vitality.

Under the golden morning light, the edge of the oasis is full of flowers due to the excessive energy of the grass element.
Several guests who came from afar also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can take advantage of the time when Lin Feng is adjusting the balance of elements and have a slightly relaxing vacation with other members participating in this operation.

"Crack-"

The wood exploded, and the dancing flames licked the dry branches in the fire, making bursts of crisp sounds and dispelling the slight coolness that still remained in the desert early morning.

Looking around, next to a green-skinned drunkard who suggested making a fire for the sake of "ritual",
Zhongli was also taking the ingredients provided by Lin Feng and trying to prepare a simple breakfast.

——Although not every elemental dragon can master the skills of incarnation, and there is also a traditional dragon advocate who is determined not to become a human.
But apart from this, ancient dragons, as top-level elemental creatures, have never lacked the ability to freely adjust their body size.

"."

He took a few perfectly cooked skewers from the old man, and patted Nashida who was leaning against him.
While feeding the little guy,

Lin Feng also used his eyes to ask the Guoba clone behind him to help.

Please ask it to deliver some prepared food to the few "mini" ancient dragons over there.

"Lalu~"

The yellow and white half-human-sized red panda nodded, then hopped over to the guests who looked a little strange, carrying a tray in his hand.
If you look at the performance alone, it is almost impossible to tell that it is just an avatar that is not the main body.

"."

He glanced at Villette, who was fidgeting a little because of her human form.

Lin Feng also shook his head, feeling that this was probably the Teyvat version of the Husky in the wolf pack:
——Although this is indeed a wolf, it just accidentally grew into the appearance of a husky.

".I understand that you don't want to be exposed in front of your own people.
But if this is the case, it is likely to be considered to have some aesthetic issues."

I was complaining silently in my heart, but suddenly a lot of different Milushin in the game flashed through my mind.
Lin Feng, who was holding the skewers, paused and compared the situation of the water dragon lizard tribe. He found that it seemed that Villette was not wronged.

".Hmm? What's wrong with you, friend?
Do you want to have a drink?"

Noticing that her friend in front of her was a little distracted, Wendy, who happened to be in Lin Feng's sight, hesitated for a moment, but finally hardened her heart and decided to hand the bottle over to him and give him two sips of wine.

".Well, I appreciate your kindness, but forget about the wine."

I have no intention of drinking the saliva of a green-skinned wine-monger.

Although Lin Feng was a little surprised by Wendy's generosity, he still raised his hand to show his attitude.

"Well, this bottle of dandelion wine is obviously of very good quality."

He heaved a sigh of relief and took the wine back readily.

But when Wendy, who was drinking, recalled that every time she tried to share with Lin Feng, the other party refused,

Then he turned around inexplicably and looked down on someone with a look that said, "You don't know what's good."

Lin Feng: "."

? ?
You don't want to drink water and you're looked down upon?
Forget it. Since there are so many people here, I won't bother with you this time.

But you are so proud of yourself,

It seems that he has forgotten how much of his wine was bought from me.
We had a great meal in the desert. The old man and Guoba's cooking skills were as good as ever.
I won't talk about the gods who, in most cases, eat about the same amount of food as ordinary people.
Although the ancient dragon's body is extremely huge, the elemental life does not eat to fill its stomach.
So even though I brought a newbie with me, after checking the food reserves, I unexpectedly found that not much was consumed.

I used the grass element to restore Lanaro, who had just tried to eat a bite of roasted vegetables but had circles in his eyes due to the salt and pepper.
Looking at the little guy's trembling body and the expression of "How scary, I will definitely not eat it next time", Lin Feng, who was in a good mood, shook his head with amusement.

Look up at the sky,

I found that although the sun had come out, it was far from being as hot as it was at noon.
Because it will take some time to adjust the balance of the elements around me, I will probably have to stay here for a few days.
Lin Feng, who was free anyway, shook his head, sensed around, and decided to go find Nashida next to him to chat.

Under the oasis, there is an ingeniously structured garden in the sand.

As a habitat built by Apep for his family, at the end of the long tunnel is a huge circular space supported by countless vines and plant roots.

In order to facilitate observation of the outside world, a circular skylight is opened above the space.

At this moment, the golden sunlight in the early morning shines obliquely onto the surface of the pool in the center of the space.
In the splashing water, the broken light gathered and refracted, passing over Nashida who was sitting by the pool and stepping on the water with her little feet, and projected unique ripple reflections on the surrounding walls.

"."

The moment I arrived here, I saw Nashida surrounded by a bunch of mushrooms and cabbages.

Lin Feng nodded to the sandworms lying on the ground beside him to show respect, and then slowly walked forward:

".How is the environment here?"

"According to Apep, this area seems to be maintained by one of its followers.
If you like it, then when I return, I can borrow it from someone in the cave to try to help replicate it."

——Apep’s followers are numerous, and among them are some wise beings that have survived from ancient times.

Although most people have now followed the crowd and chosen to transform into mushroom beasts,

But even if you just look at the many details, they still have traces of the past dragon civilization.

".The grass element is abundant, and the hearts of the residents are as pure as those of Lanaro." ".Although there are some similar scenes in other oases in the desert,

But after experiencing it all, I found that the grass elements released by these little guys are more full of life."

Pointing to the "mushrooms" walking on the ground,
Nashida was very satisfied with the atmosphere and was curious about Apep's followers:

——It will also grow from memories and experiences, and is also composed of pure grass elements.

In addition, when faced with extreme situations, they even have similar means to entrust their memories and strength to other individuals, making sacrifices and contributions for the overall survival of the race.
If these "mushrooms" later choose to mimic Lanaro in appearance, then Nashida feels that they can even merge without any obstacles.

".You like it? Then I can try to create more similar followers later."

He walked lightly to Nashida's side, then stood there.
Turning his head to look at these 'variant Lanaro' who exchanged their 'dream suitability' for the ability to evolve,
While Lin Feng was thinking, he increasingly felt that creatures with grass attributes might be similar in overall characteristics and mental character.

"Haha, okay.

If the number of Lanaros can be as large as that of mushroom beasts in the future, the children of Xumi will no longer lack playmates. "

He nodded and said jokingly,
She didn't care about the specific content of the conversation because Lin Feng was around. Nashida, who was on vacation, was obviously in a good mood.

"."

After a brief pause, he felt the surging elements still scrambling to get closer to Lin Feng.
Knowing that his sages have been working hard to suppress them recently,
Nashida also shook her head and said with some emotion:
".The favor of the elements is a blessing that many humans and even gods seek but cannot obtain. It possesses many incredible powers.
But I never thought that excessive favor would bring such troubles to people."

".Oh, I didn't expect that either."

".I have already temporarily dispersed the crown, but it still has such a lasting remnant.
This power is so stubborn that even I cannot suppress it in a short period of time."

Lin Feng rubbed Nashida's hair out of habit, feeling the soft touch of his fingertips.
Because at least there was someone to spend time with, the distress in my heart dissipated a lot:
——I don’t know if it’s because the elemental laws of this world have been dormant for too long, which has led to some retaliatory investments.
In Lin Feng's perception, the current elemental laws are like parents who are worried about their children getting cold.
Regardless of whether he needed it or not, the blessings of various elements were like warm clothes, covering him with many layers inside and outside.

If he doesn't try hard to suppress it now, he can be said to be a human-shaped element siphon machine.
If there is a lack of elements somewhere, he doesn't need to do anything, just stand there.
In a very short period of time, a large number of various elements will rush to where he is.

".While this does make it easier for me to use elements and the response speed is much faster,

But if I can’t control it effectively, then I will be a real “keep away from strangers”.

I pinched the two pointed ears and felt that they really felt good.
Because Nashida would only condemn his similar behavior with her eyes at most, and she would hardly do anything about it outside of public places.
When Lin Feng was bored, he wasn't very polite to the little guy.

"."

He stared at the so-called wise man beside him, trying to awaken his conscience with silence.

As expected, after failing, Nashida gave up trying, sighed slightly, and chose to let the other party like it:
——I don't hate it, but if it goes on like this, once her initial majestic image as a god collapses, it will be a long time before she can establish it again.
I clearly remember that it wasn't like this at the beginning. He seemed to be quite cautious at first.
Putting aside the trivial thoughts in her mind for the time being, Nashida forced herself to turn her attention back to the main business:
"——I remember you seemed to say that these blessings from the elemental laws have greatly improved your elemental manufacturing capabilities?"

".After your power increased this time, the elements around you should also be partly due to your own influence, right?"

“That’s part of the reason.”

Lin Feng nodded:

"Apep was able to continuously produce new grass elements in the oasis before, making the concentration of grass elements in the desert not weaker than that in the rainforest. Naturally, I can do something similar as well."

"The elements within the world are like an external reservoir, but for me, as long as I use them sparingly, I can maintain the circulation of power even if I rely solely on myself in a place without elements."

"The reason why there is an enrichment of elements around me this time is actually partly because my element manufacturing ability has suddenly increased too much, so I can't control it well."

——After his own level broke through a certain level, he is no longer just a user of power in the world, but can be said to be one of the sources of elemental power in the world.

According to Apep, in ancient times, due to the existence of the Dragon Kings, the concentration of elements in the world was extremely high, and the power and wisdom of dragons continued to grow.

Although the total amount of elements will not increase out of thin air, they can be transformed by other forces through the power of elements.

In order to continuously increase the concentration of elements within the world, the footprints of the dragons even once surpassed the current sky.

The other forces are transformed by the Dragon King, and the excess of the new elements will slowly settle in the earth veins.
The total amount of elements in the world is increasing, and will eventually feed back to the world itself, while further improving the wisdom and strength of the dragon race.
Later, when everything was flourishing,
Because of a reason known to everyone, this perfect positive cycle came to an abrupt end.
Shaking his head, he felt more and more that the civilization of Teyvat was really unlucky.
But anyway, although this ability has caused him a little trouble at the moment,

But if we look at it from a long-term perspective, this method of ensuring one's own survival in any environment is still quite critical.

". Well, that is to say,

We're going to have to stay here a little longer until you can get this under control, right?"

"."

Lin Feng nodded.

".You are progressing fast enough.

Just like flying dandelion seeds need to land before they can germinate,
Even for you, it is also necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to rest for a few more days.
Stopping is to move forward better, so please don’t feel sorry for the little time you spend.”

By the clear pond, Nashida lowered her head slightly after getting the answer she wanted.

In contrast to the slightly curved corners of the mouth,
Her pure white hair was coated with a layer of light gold in the sunlight, and her tone contained just the right amount of encouragement and relaxation.

"."

We have been together for quite some time, and I soon felt the hidden meaning behind this sentence.
After a quick calculation of the time, it was still a long way from the "First Dragon Clan Meeting" proposed by Apep.

Lin Feng also shook his head and sat next to Nashida, deciding to spend more time with this little guy who lacked companionship.
