Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

"——But if we don't repair the ley lines here first,

That pain, which is like a torn blood vessel, is always there and will also torment the Elemental Dragon King, right?"

"If this continues, the other party's sanity will only become more fragile under the pain and wear.

If the day of collapse really comes, even if we really eliminate the impact of "wear and tear" later, it may be too late. "

"And judging from the Emperor's previous plan, you intended to repair the ground veins here from the beginning, right?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhongli in front of him and asked a question.

It is known that the Rādhāraṇa King challenged by the players in the game can only be regarded as an avatar or projection at best.

The true size of this rock elemental dragon can be seen from the size of the pointed dragon tree that serves as its tail.

——It is not much worse than a large mountain. It is a real "giant creature".

If the enemy were allowed to escape without preparation, the ensuing earthquakes and landslides alone would be enough to cause Liyue to suffer.

But just letting the blunt knife cut the flesh, leading the incident to a point where it cannot be reversed,

It is impossible that this was the ultimate purpose for the old man to pay such a huge price and entrust me with the commission.

As expected, Zhongli continued:

"——The ley lines must be repaired. This is necessary to restore my old friend's sanity."

"It is rare to have a strong helper like you, who can interfere with the earth veins on a large scale without being restricted by the 'laws'.

There is absolutely no reason to give up this opportunity.”

Zhongli's tone was as calm as ever, but it revealed an unprecedented firmness.

"——Even if the intense stimulation in a short period of time will drive the Rock Dragon crazy and cause it to fall into indiscriminate destruction,

But it was also the only way to restore some temporary sanity to my old friend."

"As long as we can limit the damage caused by Ruota in the early stage, then after he releases his accumulated madness,

The ground veins that have been completely repaired with the help of my friend will slowly flow back with his memories and rationality that were scattered throughout the land."

After a pause, Zhongli looked at Lin Feng in front of him and told him the final part of this operation:

"——So, if the worst happens,

You and I may have to prepare to fight an elemental dragon king head-on after we deal with the incident here."

".Because the risk is really high, you should seriously consider whether to continue with the next commission."

"."

Although you may have to fight an opponent with the strength of a powerful demon god,

But after hearing Zhongli's words, Lin Feng did not feel surprised.

——From the very beginning, I was aiming to gather the authority of the demon god and the elemental dragon and create the "Elemental Authority".

If we don't cure the Ruota Dragon King and ask him to provide information about the origin of authority, wouldn't all this time have been in vain?

With a nine-level all-element resistance and a composite shield forged by the old man and himself with three elements of authority,

The difficulty of this battle was not the safety of the participants from the beginning.

——But whether we can use our overwhelming advantage to suppress the destruction of Liyue by this elemental dragon king.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng looked at Zhongli in front of him and said:

".I had anticipated this kind of risk from the beginning, and I had no intention of quitting halfway."

After a pause, he followed the connection of the earth veins and looked in the direction of the powerful aura at the South Gate of Heaven. He made a final response to this invitation:

".If the Emperor can find a way to limit the scope of this battle to a level that the people of Liyue can accept,

This allows me to release my power without any worries of causing too much damage to Liyue during the battle."

"——Even if I have to fight against this ancient Elemental Dragon King, I am also willing to do my best and fight together with the Emperor."

Chapter 207: The Followers of the Grass Dragon Apep

In the deepest part of the Layered Abyss, on a rock wall southwest of the Sky Nail.

In this corner closest to the Sky Nail, which possesses the strongest purifying power,

A large area of ​​black mud with a density far exceeding normal levels is distributed abnormally in this area.

Several beast hounds from another world,

As usual, patrolling in this abyss area.

Now that the entire underground area of ​​the Layered Abyss has been thoroughly cleared, the existence of such an area is obviously extremely unreasonable.

But this is not because Lin Feng accidentally missed such a blind spot when absorbing the power of the abyss.

Instead, after he sensed the presence of a certain figure inside, he deliberately avoided the other party.

And now,

After discussing the preliminary treatment plan for Ruotu Dragon King, Lin Feng finished his main work.

He could finally deal with the other secondary purpose of coming here - awakening the followers of the grass dragon Apep.

"Ow—"

Because of the drastic changes in the abyss power in the Layered Rock Abyss, these beast hounds were already in a very alert state.

After discovering the two human figures that suddenly appeared before them, the dark wolves wandering in the mud also howled loudly.

Because of the deep malice engraved in its underlying logic towards all native creatures of Teyvat,

After Lin Feng and Zhong Li appeared, these hounds

Without any hesitation, he tried to disappear into the void and immediately launched a fatal attack on the two ordinary people in front of him who were unaware of the aura of power.

"Woo?"

But when they retreated slightly as they did in the past and made the preliminary movements to travel through the void, strangely nothing happened.

Once this unpredictable situation occurred, these beast hounds, which were like a pack of alien wolves, fell into a short period of downtime, almost like the program not responding.

"Ouch."

The next moment, while these monsters were still frozen in place,

An elemental wave emanated from the two bullied "ordinary people" on the opposite side.

It was easy to completely destroy them and decompose them into the most primitive balls of dark aura.

"."

On this cliff, which has returned to peace except for the black mud all over the ground,

Use your own authority to try to increase the stability of the surrounding space.

Lin Feng did a teleportation blockade test and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the result.

He looked at Zhongli who didn't show any surprise and said:

"——What the Emperor said really makes sense. Before you reminded me, I had never thought that elemental power could be used to interfere with the stability of Teyvat space.

As long as there is enough elemental power, the 'laws' of this world can be stabilized, making the teleportation ability of outsiders ineffective. This is indeed a good use."

Although when I first met the Apostle of the Abyss in the Layered Abyss,

Zhongli seemed to have remotely used his authority to strengthen the strength of the laws of the world of Teyvat, thereby expelling the invading abyss space.

However, Lin Feng himself had seen relatively few abyss monsters, and his attack speed was so fast that those monsters would be destroyed before they had time to teleport.

So before Zhongli shared the relevant usage of authority,

However, they were unable to discover the laws that reinforced Teyvat itself, which could actually have such an effect when facing the monsters from the abyss.

"…After all, the 'Seven Laws' are the most basic rules of this continent.

A fully activated elemental authority symbolizes one seventh of this world.

As long as the holder explores more, he will naturally discover many wonderful uses besides combat."

"In the war against the abyss, the existence of gods is so important.

It is also because as long as we appear in a certain place, we can strengthen the local laws there, greatly increasing the difficulty of the abyss teleporting a large number of enemies to invade."

Zhongli smiled and explained to the authority holder beside him who was very powerful but a little too young.

Seeing that Lin Feng had completely understood what he meant, Zhongli paused for a moment and then continued:

"But just like now, spreading your power in space,

Using the 'laws' represented by authority to suppress the enemy's power is, after all, just an insignificant use for you, my friend."

"——According to my observation, the nature of your own power has a very obvious restraining effect on those visitors from the abyss.

The Apostle of the Abyss who appeared before you and me before,

It must be because of the barrier that you set up around me that I was unable to escape through the passage I came from.

Therefore, you only need to spread your strength slightly on the battlefield before the battle.

That would be as effective as our ability to mobilize authority."

Although he felt that the boy in front of him would not be in a difficult battle with the enemy from the abyss,

But Zhongli briefly introduced the specific ways that this continent has dealt with the abyss over thousands of years, which helped to fill in the basic knowledge about gods that the other party had skipped.

After confirming that the other party had fully understood, he looked at the dark mud in front of him, which was obviously of unusual density, and asked:

".When cleaning up the pollution in the abyss, you once said that you still have two things to deal with.

Now it seems that there is something hidden in this polluted area?"

Zhongli had already used his authority to search through the black mud, but found nothing unusual.

For a moment, he became more interested in this target that could hide from his perception.

"exactly."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the abnormal amount of forbidden knowledge solidified in this area, and the faint aura of grass elemental authority that could be detected,

Then even I won’t be able to find ‘it’ so easily—this ancient follower of the ‘Grass Dragon’.”

The strange power of forbidden knowledge is indeed powerful in shielding against conventional elements.

Even the investigation of authority would find it difficult to penetrate such a layer of covering and detect other existences hidden inside.

Fortunately, in order to ensure that the mushroom could survive in the black mud for a longer time, the Great Compassion Tree King used his own power to provide protection.

Otherwise, without the resonance of this power to help with positioning,

When Lin Feng just swallowed the power of the abyss, there was a high probability that he also cleaned out the elemental life that had been contaminated by the abyss.

Seeing Zhongli in front of him, who was curious about the term "Grass Dragon",

Lin Feng, who found it very difficult to explain, also shook his head and said simply:

"It's really hard to explain why the elemental life from Xumi is hiding in the black mud and what I'm looking for it for."

“——Emperor, please wait until I purify this piece of black mud and then listen to the person inside to explain it to you personally.”

I originally thought that after completing the subsequent treatment plan for the Ruotu Dragon King,

Zhongli and Ruotu, the rock dragon, will most likely be brought to the desert area of ​​Xumi by me in the future to help.

Lin Feng did not intend to conceal any information about the World Tree Crisis or Apep.

After the relevant explanations,

Lin Feng followed the weak resonance reaction and carefully called upon his own strength.

While ensuring that no harm was caused to the already extremely weak elemental life, the large area of ​​black mud was removed meticulously, like peeling off silk threads from an onion.

For a long time,

When the last piece of black mud in this layer of rock abyss area also dissipated under Lin Feng's efforts,

Among them, the light brown figure that looked like a rock-attributed land mushroom beast was also completely revealed.

Unlike the little yellow-haired boy in the game, he was unable to wake up because he forgot his ability to purify the power of the abyss.
