Explorer of Teyvat

Thinking about the behavioral logic of the elemental mushroom beast,

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly, this was something he couldn't change.

After all, the basic concepts of both sides are different. If Wang Daoyi prevents its return, the other party may not be happy.

Moreover, a cold-blooded idea,

If all the recent changes in the desert are due to the pain of the Grass Dragon, the return of these elemental mushroom beasts can alleviate the pain of the Grass Dragon.

Then, not only should Wang Daoyi not prevent them from returning, but he should also help them return.

This will calm down the desert as quickly as possible.

"Do you know why the Dragon of Grass was contaminated by forbidden knowledge?"

The giant mushroom beast shook his head: "No, we don't know. We used to live happily in our homes, but suddenly one day, our homes were polluted. We don't know the reason."

"However, the great King of Grass once said that the pollution in his home comes from the King of Red Gold, but I don't know exactly how he got it."

Wang Dao nodded, feeling a little clearer about Xumi's historical trajectory.

While he was thinking, no one here spoke.

Just like that, at the edge of the forest, the mushroom beasts and people fell silent.

After a long time, he seemed to understand that Wang Daoyi had no other problems.

The huge elemental mushroom beast slowly bent down to Wang Daoyi: "I can feel the brilliance in you. You are the same noble king as the red gold king. I pray to you, hoping that you can help me clean up." My family’s [remains] help me collect their last elemental power and let me take them home.”

As a pure elemental life, when Wang Daoyi does not hide himself, it can feel the vast elemental power of Wang Daoyi.

After hearing the other party's prayer, Wang Daoyi was silent for a moment.

Sure enough, those dead areas were caused by the death of these elemental mushroom beasts.

Although these elemental mushroom beasts look normal, in fact, they were born from the Dragon of Grass, and they themselves were polluted by the forbidden knowledge of the Dragon of Grass. And what about the forbidden knowledge that even the Dragon of Grass itself cannot afford? The elemental mushroom beast can bear it.

They were squeezed by forbidden knowledge. At the end of their lives, the pure elemental life turned into twisted death realms, polluting this land.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Daoyi turned his gaze to Nicored: "Do you think we should help it?"

Nicored was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Of course, no matter what the purpose is, we should help it."

In Nikolaid's view, Chisha himself had to mobilize manpower to clean up those dead areas. If he brought elemental mushroom beasts with him to collect the last elemental power in the dead areas, there would be no problem.

Moreover, if the elemental mushroom beast can really smooth out the abnormal movements in the desert, that would be the best thing.

As for whether the elemental mushroom beast's actions would be considered returning home or sending him to death, Nicored never considered it at all.

Looking at the other party, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, but sighed inwardly. It seemed that the other party still had a long way to go on his journey to become a [human].

Nicorette still lacks the most basic human sympathy. His lowest level of thinking logic is interests, not emotions.

I didn’t remind Nicored of anything. You still have to learn how to be a [human being] yourself.

Wang Daoyi handed the matter over to him: "Since you think it's okay, then leave it to you."

Then he looked at West Germany, who had been silent for a long time, and said, "Cid, go back and gather a team of soldiers and give them to Nikolaid, and let him be responsible for cleaning up the dead zone."

"Yes, my god." West Germany quickly wrote down.

Although Nicoreid didn't know why Wang Daoyi gave him the task, he didn't refuse.

He is still very interested in the life form of the elemental mushroom beast, so if he is to carry the elemental mushroom beast on a mission, he is still very willing.

After giving instructions about the elemental mushroom beasts, Wang Daoyi looked at the five Lu Xingyan original mushrooms that were shaking their heads and tails at him like big dogs.

"As for you, just stay and live in the forest and don't leave."

"Sid, just come here every three to five from now on and feed them some food."

Although Lu Xingyan's original mushroom also has elemental power and can absorb elemental energy from the earth, it is still a fungus monster in essence. If it is not fed regularly, these five mushroom beasts will compete with the forest for nutrients.

West Germany nodded in agreement.

Wang Daoyi patted the mushroom beasts on the head and pointed at West Germany: "From now on, you have to listen to him, do you understand?"

I don’t know if these mushroom beasts understood it, but their tails were wagging happily.

Shaking his head, he withdrew the hand that was stroking the mushroom beast's head and looked at everyone: "Let's all go to work. I'll go to the rain forest."

"By the way, Sid, let Kasha and Kallen move my things to the temple. I will live in the temple from now on."

A faint blue earth channel appeared, engulfing Wang Daoyi's figure. The target was Xumi City.

Regarding the Grass Dragon, he wanted to talk to Nasida.

——

Sumeru City, the top of the holy tree, Jingshan Palace.

Wang Dao entered here easily and without any guards blocking him.

The current Xumi, after the doctor's showdown was ruined, has basically been controlled by Wang Daoyi's side. Only the great sage in normal state is still dreaming of creating a new god.

Oh, no, there is another skirmisher dreaming of becoming a new god.

When the dreams of these two people are shattered, it will be the day when Sumeru is liberated.

Walk to the side of the Tree King’s meditation room,

Nasida inside quickly noticed someone coming and slowly opened her eyes.

After seeing that it was Wang Daoyi, a hint of joy flashed in his emerald green pupils.

The Tree King's meditation room opened, and Nasida came out and jumped into Wang Daoyi's arms.

"Dao Yi, long time no see."

Wang Daoyi stretched out his hand to catch Nasida and smiled: "Long time no see."

In fact, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, just a few months.

For the two immortals, it was just a moment.

However, in Nasida's perception, the days spent with Wang Daoyi were particularly worth cherishing, so she had the joy of reuniting after a long absence like ordinary people.

"Did Daoyi come to play with me?" Nasida nuzzled Wang Daoyi, breathing in Wang Daoyi's breath, with light in her eyes.

"That's right. In a while, Inazuma's Rongcai Festival will begin. I can take you to meet General Raiden."

"Okay." Nasida nodded, with a trace of longing in her eyes.

In Liyue, after Nasida communicated with Zhongli, she felt that she had gained a lot. After seeing the operating logic of Liyue, she returned to Jingshan Palace and looked at some information in the void, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Before Wang Daoyi came, Nasida had been collecting incorrect information in the void, most of which were dispute cases with "wrong" handling.

When Nasida returns to power, most of these cases will be retried.

Therefore, Nasida, who has grown up in Liyue, is very much looking forward to Daozhi's trip.

Of course, Naxida is still very smart. Since the rice wife's trip is still in the future, it means that Wang Daoyi has other things to do when he comes here today: "Then, what's the matter when Daoyi comes here today?"

"Well, there are some. There have been strange movements in the desert recently. After investigation, I suspect that something is wrong with Apep, the Dragon of Grass."

"Grass Dragon Apep?" Nasida hesitated, "I know this exists, but I don't understand it. However, does Dao Yi need my help?"

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly,

In the future scene seen in Yuanxia Palace, it was Nasida who took the mushroom beast to stop the battle between herself and Apep.

The mushroom beast king Daoyi already understood that it must be the elemental mushroom beast.

But now Nacida said that she did not understand the Dragon of Grass.

Then, it can only mean that the time when he fought the Grass Dragon was after he ascended to the gods, and Nasida also gained the right to visit the World Tree.

[So, the story has not yet begun, because the person who drives the destiny has not yet come. 】

His inner thoughts flashed by, and Wang Dao nodded: "No, it's not necessary for the time being. I just came to tell you. After all, we have hooked up. We can't hide things from each other."

Hearing Wang Daoyi talk about hook pulling, Nasida's face burst into a happy smile.

Wang Daoyi could remember Lagou's oath and fulfilled it, which made Nasida very happy.

Without mentioning anything about the Grass Dragon's troubles, Wang Daoyi took Nasida out of Jingshan Palace and played happily in Xumi City for a day.

At night, Nasida returned to Jingshan Palace.

Wang Daoyi, on the other hand, returned to Wanmin Hall in Liyue.

He had just finished his adventure in Yuanxia Palace, and Xiang Ling had just slept in his arms for the night.

Compared to the deserted Red Sand Temple, the small room in Manmin Hall was more comfortable.

——

Ten days later,

At the entrance of Qianhe Sandy Land,

An elite force is assembled here,

What is noteworthy is that there are actually more than a dozen tall mushroom beasts in this team.

These mushroom beasts quietly accepted the protection of the warriors and did not look like any monsters.

This group of people is the elemental mushroom beast who wants to go home to die, and the army of holy warriors led by Nicoreid.

After ten days of running around in the desert to clean up the dead zone, not only did the already tall elemental rock mushroom grow taller and look like a super mushroom, but we also found more elemental mushrooms, all of them without exception. , they all felt the pain of [home] and came all the way back to 'die'.

Of course, they were not the only ones who rushed back. The elemental mushroom beasts that turned into the Death Realm also appeared in the desert for the same purpose.

"Let's go, elemental spirits. You will lead the way. The soldiers and I will protect your safety along the way."

Nicored took out a map and looked at it, confirmed his current location, then turned over and sat on the back of the giant elemental mushroom beast.

The team began to move slowly.

The elemental mushroom beasts led everyone to the depths of the Thousand Valley Sands by relying on the routes they inherited and remembered.

And in Nicorette's satchel, a pale golden crystal shimmered.

Although Wang Daoyi did not come in person, how could he give up this opportunity to observe the ancient dragon.

Therefore, he asked Nicored to bring his distraction crystal.

In the hot yellow sand, the group marched hard for several days, repelling several monster attacks.

Fortunately, this team is full of elites, and those elemental mushroom beasts are not weaklings either.

Although there were some hardships, there was no overall loss.

Another day at noon,

The leading giant elemental rock mushroom suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Nicored asked.

"I feel the smell of family, emptiness, despair, family members who have lost consciousness." The giant elemental mushroom looked into the distance.

Nicored followed its gaze and saw a group of twisted gray-green creatures.

These creatures don't look like family members of the elemental mushrooms at all, but like some kind of twisted predators.

"Is this also your family?" Nicoreid was a little curious. In his opinion, these twisted creatures and elemental mushrooms were completely different species.

"They are family members. In order to survive, they degenerated everything and adapted to the pollution. In the end, they only retained the most basic desire for survival and hunting instinct."

"We can't let them wander out. Please, please and the soldiers destroy them, otherwise the contamination will spread and disaster will occur."

The giant elemental mushroom looked at the twisted family in the distance and said sadly.

Even if the giant elemental mushroom beast is not mentioned, Nicored will not let go of the twisted creatures in front of him. Regardless of whether they will cause danger, the biological samples that are so precious are enough reasons for him to take action.

"Come here, destroy those twisted things."

With an order, the holy warriors brandished their weapons and charged forward.

After a burst of slashing with knives and axes, the scattered twisted creatures died under the hands of the holy warriors.

However, even after death, the remains of these twisted creatures still exude an ominous aura.

After shooing away the onlookers, Nicored approached the remains of the twisted creature, took out two alchemy gloves and put them on, and then touched the remains of the twisted creature on the ground.

"Tsk, tsk, such a simple structure, it has really degraded everything, retaining only the most basic hunting and digestion capabilities. They don't even have the core of thinking like a brain."

While he was observing, there was a strange movement in the satchel on his waist. He reached out and took out Wang Daoyi's distraction crystal.

Then I saw bursts of soft light floating on the crystal,

That is the purest elemental power of light.

After these light elemental forces came into contact with the twisted remains, they reacted quickly,

The twisted remains began to dissipate quickly, leaving behind only a little bit of pure light.

Nicored recognized this light as representing the last remnants of elemental life.

"Let the elemental mushroom beast absorb these elemental powers." Wang Daoyi's voice came from the distraction crystal.

"Okay." Nicored nodded, then patted the giant elemental mushroom next to him.

The giant elemental mushroom beast took a step forward, and the pure elemental power scattered on the ground seemed to feel at home, and the baby swallows swarmed towards the giant elemental mushroom beast like a swallow in the forest.

Under the illumination of the elemental light, the giant elemental mushroom beast's body grew a bit longer.

Vaguely, more like 'Chicken Brother'.

However, this is a rock elemental 'Chicken Brother', not a simple mushroom beast.

After getting rid of the twisted elemental life, the group continued to march deeper into the sandy land of Thousand Valleys under the leadership of the giant elemental mushroom beast.

Soon, the yellow sand became more and more violent under the blow of the wind. Even if the team was full of strong sand people, it was a little difficult to walk.

However, soon, led by the giant elemental mushroom beast, they entered an underground tunnel like an underground palace, avoiding the violent sandstorm on the ground.

"Moving forward, it's [home], my friend."

On the way, the giant elemental mushroom beast suddenly said to Nicored.

Nicorette was slightly startled,

Then suddenly some strange emotions welled up in my heart.

"So, are you going to 'die' soon?" Nicorette tried hard to hide his inner emotions.

The giant elemental mushroom shook his head: "It's not 'death', it's going home."

Then it looked at Nicored: "Friend, you will remember us, right?"

Nicored trembled in his heart, and that strange emotion became more and more obvious.

Nodding to the giant elemental mushroom beast, suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Nicored nodded: "Of course, I will remember you."

A smile appeared on the giant beast's face, and the giant elemental mushroom beast nodded: "Thank you."

As he spoke, a huge hole emitting huge light appeared in front of everyone.

It seems that he felt the arrival of outsiders, or felt the return of the elemental spirit,

The sound of giant objects passing through came from the huge hollow.

The next moment, the terrifying dragon head poked out of the huge hole and looked at the tiny group of people.

"You little people, how dare you peek into my palace."

The terrifying dragon head did not open its mouth, and a huge sound echoed in this space.

Nicored looked at the terrifying mountain-like dragon head with shock in his eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

The other Red Sand warriors were even more unbearable. Their power came from the Holy Skeleton Beast, and the Holy Skeleton Beast was like an ant in front of the gods, worth mentioning in front of this terrifying dragon head.

If it weren't for their inner belief in Wang Daoyi, they would have knelt down and prostrate themselves now.

Different from the shock of Nicored and the fear of the red sand warriors, the giant elemental mushroom beast and a dozen other elemental mushroom beasts took a step forward.

"[Homeland], we feel your pain, and we are back."

The terrifying dragon head lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the elemental mushroom beasts that were as small as ants to him.

"Since you have left, why do you need to come back?"

The giant elemental mushroom beast raised its head and looked up at the terrifying dragon head in front of it. There was no negative emotion in its eyes, only the desire for home: "[Home] is in pain, we have to go home and protect [Home]."

"Hahahahahaha, it's ridiculous. You are as small as you, but you dare to protect me. It's ridiculous." The terrifying dragon head didn't seem to be moved, and even laughed a little.

The elemental mushroom beasts lowered their heads, feeling a little sad.

The giant elemental mushroom beast was also a little sad, but it did not lower its head like other elemental mushroom beasts. Instead, it raised its head forcefully and looked at the terrifying dragon head as big as a mountain: "[Homeland] is sick, very sick. We will protect [home].”

As it spoke, it let out a long roar, as if it no longer wanted to communicate with the terrifying dragon head, and a pure elemental light glowed on its body.

Behind it, the elemental mushroom beasts with their heads lowered also stepped forward to stand beside it, and the pure elemental light bloomed on them.

The giant elemental mushroom beast looked back at Nicored, who was accompanying it to clean up the dead zone and accumulate elemental power. A smile appeared on the beast's face: "Thank you for remembering us, friend."

Before Nicored could react,

The power of reversal of growth blooms in the elemental mushroom beasts,

All the beautiful memories, painful memories, cherished emotions, friendship, family affection,

Everything was consumed in the reversal, turning into unimaginable pure elemental power, floating towards the terrifying dragon head protruding from the hole.
