Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Recently, the flow of the earth's veins has changed.

Previously, the ley lines flowed in a very regular pattern in the same direction, but Lisa observed them several times recently and discovered that the Mondstadt ley lines no longer flow in the same direction as before, but have become free-flowing.

This is extremely unusual.

Although it did not cause a gathering of monsters, all abnormal things need a reasonable explanation.

The timing of the abnormal ley lines almost coincided with the time of the Sumeru turmoil, so Lisa guessed that this matter must be related to the Sumeru turmoil.

"Sigh~ I wonder how my little cutie is doing now. I hope this has nothing to do with him."

When Lisa first heard that her little cutie had died in Liyue, she was in a difficult situation and even took her anger out on Abedo because of her emotions. Fortunately, she managed to control herself in the end.

Later, she heard rumors about Inazuma and realized that her little cutie must still be alive.

Due to limited information about Inazuma, Lisa was also unaware of the specifics of what had happened.

However, judging from that troublemaker's behavior, he is most likely involved in the Sumeru incident.

If I look at it from a different perspective, I might be able to see my little darling again soon.

Sumeru Chapter: Chapter 116: Dragon King Apep

Xumi, Teaching Order.

Recently, Lu Sheng has been spending a lot of time in the secret library of the Academy of Religious Affairs, researching materials.

Within the history deliberately altered and buried by the Tree King, there seems to be some special secret hidden.

That was the truth that the Tree King would rather perish than reveal.

Lu Sheng felt that there weren't many things that could frighten the Tree King to that extent, and the Abyss was one of them.

He used his divine power to search through countless books, and after several days, he actually found some clues.

An ancient book from the Red Sand Dynasty records the events that occurred in the period before the Red King's death.

As described above, at the end of his reign, the Red King had become extremely insane. He had no choice but to seek help from the Tree King. However, before going to Sumeru, he first went to the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land to find an ancient being.

Based on the corroboration of other ancient texts, it is clear that this ancient being is one of the elemental dragon kings suppressed by the laws of nature, the grass dragon Apep.

Interestingly, after visiting Mount Sumeru, the Red King did not return to his dynasty, but instead went to the Thousand Valleys Sandy Land again, and this time, he never came back.

Following the will left by the Red King, the Red King's people held a funeral for him, bringing a fake coffin along with the unfinished Aru into the pyramid.

Lu Sheng wondered if it was possible that the Red King had left his forbidden knowledge to Apep.

It should be noted that the Seven Elemental Dragon Kings and the gods are mortal enemies.

Justice prevailed in Teyvat, banishing the Dragon Kings and creating humans and gods. The Dragon Kings could only watch helplessly as their former home and kingdom became a paradise for others.

Nibelungen, the King of Dragons, rebelled. He failed the first time, and returned the second time with dark power, nearly shattering Teyvat, but he still failed.

From that moment on, the dragon race, as the original inhabitants, had no hope of turning the tide.

Most of them died, and the rest eked out a living and went into hiding.

As a member of Sky Island, the Red King found the hiding Grass Dragon, and the two should have had a great battle, but there is no record of it in the ancient books.

This indicates that they were not at war.

Since they weren't going to fight, they must have some other motive.

Perhaps the Red King was afraid that Apep, as a dragon, would harm the humans of the desert after his death, so he went to negotiate.

Since it's a negotiation, there must be some leverage involved.

It's quite intriguing that the Red King returned to Apep's location after searching for the Tree King.

The only thing Appepp might value in him is probably his forbidden knowledge.

At this point in the reasoning, there is no further evidence to support the claim.

To find out the truth, you must personally go to the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land to meet the ancient Dragon King.

Lu Sheng assessed the fighting strength of both sides.

Based on common sense, the fighting power of a single elemental dragon king surpasses that of a demon god.

He has now inherited the authority of the Grass God and possesses two God Hearts, making him stronger than the Demon God.

Even if we really fight, we won't suffer any losses.

Besides, he can pilot a Gundam.

Just leave.

A moment later, Lu Sheng merged with the hundred-meter-tall divine body, activated the invisibility module, and flew away from Sumeru City.

The Thousand Ravines Sandy Land is very easy to find. You can see a place from the sky where sandstorms blow all year round; that's it.

boom!

The enormous body crashed down, crushing the already fragile sandstone and causing a large dent.

The shape of the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land is somewhat similar to that of the Layered Rock Abyss, both being a huge, inwardly concave, vortex-shaped ring, except that the area here is twice as large as the Layered Rock Abyss.

The Layered Rock Abyss was created when the Emperor and Ruo Tuo fought and fell. It's unknown how the similar landform of the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land came about.

Looking around, the place is filled with yellow sand, desolate and bleak.

It's hard to imagine that this is the residence of a Dragon King.

Look at the Water Dragon King next door, living in a luxurious office of several hundred square meters, wearing fine clothes, tasting fine wine from a silver cup, and holding the power of the law in the country.

All I can say is that the Water Dragon King is not someone you can associate with.

They don't even know to lend a helping hand to their former clansmen who have fallen so low.

Poor Grass Dragon King, he went from being a powerful ruler to living like an earthworm, cowering in the sand and living in constant fear.

Despite being the pinnacle of grass-elemental creatures, the place where they live is devoid of any greenery.

It's really sad.

Lu Sheng slammed his fist into the ground, and the resonance of divine power, along with the shockwave, penetrated the surface and reached deep into the earth's core.

That's how he greets people.

"Grass Dragon King! Come out!"

......

After a long silence, the wait finally came to an end.

But it wasn't the Grass Dragon King who arrived.

The ground beneath Lu Sheng's feet began to tremble, and clumps of sand sank downwards, as if some enormous creature was wandering in the sea of ​​sand.

Boom!

A loud bang was heard, and a giant worm hundreds of meters long burst out of the ground, opening its round mouthparts filled with thousands of sharp teeth and lunging at Lu Sheng.

This is what is known as: the owner hasn't woken up yet, but the dog has.

Such a huge worm is no normal creature; it is clearly a former member of the Grass Dragon's retinue.

Lu Sheng clenched his fist and turned to thrust straight at the worm's mouthparts.

Bang! ! !

The worm's enormous body collided with Lu Sheng's divine body, and the powerful impact sent Lu Sheng flying backward for hundreds of meters before he slowly came to a stop.

The worm swallowed the god's right arm whole, its powerful flesh walls constantly contracting, trying to swallow the thing in its mouth into its belly.

But for a divine body made from the remains of a demon god, this level of exertion is equivalent to a massage.

It's quite comfortable.

Anyone with a bold idea is welcome to give it a try.

Lu Sheng held down the worm's head, grabbed the esophagus with his right hand, and pulled hard.

A stream of liquid spilled onto the ground, and the entire worm was almost turned inside out, its red flesh exposed to the wind and sand, twitching and pulsating.

After struggling violently for half a minute, the worm became completely still, leaving only its enormous corpse lying on the yellow sand.

After dealing with the worms, Riku returned to his original spot, slammed his fist down again, and shouted, "Appepp! Come out!"

"Whether you come up to me or I come down to you, you choose."

"I know you're here. Stop playing dead and come out!"

After several violent knocks on the door, the Grass Dragon King, lurking underground, finally could no longer tolerate the harassment.

It's really terrible. I've already become so indifferent to worldly affairs, yet there are still people who won't let me go.

Extreme malice emanated from beneath the ground.

Lu Sheng sensed the impending attack, or rather, he had long anticipated the consequences of his violent knocking on the door.

In the nick of time, he manipulated his divine body to leap high into the air, trying to get as far away from where he had just been.

The moment their feet left the ground, the ground collapsed.

A terrifying green beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the rock strata and reaching the heavens. The dense grass element even dyed the sky green.

The scattered elemental forces sprinkled on the desert instantly sprouted green grass and flowers, creating a small oasis.

Lu Sheng exclaimed that it was a waste, but he quickly remembered that his Grass Element skill was already maxed out.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down through the collapsed ground. In the deep cracks, he could vaguely see a giant creature slowly wriggling.

Two torch-like flames of light quietly appeared.

Sensing the other person's gaze, Lu Sheng met it. It was a weary look, the kind that comes from weathering many storms and suffering, and it was also filled with intense hatred and hostility.

Apep's enormous, nearly kilometer-long body has finally been revealed.

It was entirely green, covered with vines and extending branches, but these things looked as if they had contracted some kind of disease, no longer a lush green, but an unhealthy dark green.

Rumble!

With just a slight movement of his body, Apep caused the earth's crust to collapse and the desert to sink.

Lu Sheng and the Grass Dragon King finally met face to face.
