Was that not enough? After the death of the Flower Goddess, the Crimson King, instead of restraining himself, intensified his search for 'knowledge,' ultimately attracting 'forbidden knowledge,' a 'contaminated knowledge.'
Chapter 665 The Grass God, Act Two - End
Faced with the Red King, who was infected by 'forbidden knowledge', Apep swallowed it without chewing it.
Just like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit, it went in whole without thinking.
Apep probably felt a bit 'spicy' after that bite. After all, spiciness is a form of pain, and with his body riddled with holes from the forbidden knowledge, it would be strange if it wasn't 'spicy'.
This story teaches us a lesson—we must chew our food slowly and carefully.
[Appepp said: "I have no interest in analyzing the knowledge he possesses; I have done everything I can to resist the pain..."]
Even so, I still feel that his madness surpasses mine.
This statement was actually a response to Nasita's words: "You say I'm crazy? Compared to you gods, I think I'm a very honest dragon."
I made a gentleman's pact with you gods, but I never imagined I was just a pawn being used.
No wonder 'Amon' agreed so readily; he was using me as a safe haven!
After all, the Red King had been using knowledge from outside the world, and had long anticipated that a similar situation might occur.
So letting Appepp eat him was actually to suppress this knowledge and confine it within Appepp's body.
However, the power of this 'forbidden knowledge' was unexpectedly great. Not only could Appepp not suppress it, but the Great Tree King was also infected.
It can only be said that Appepp was right; the Red King was truly too insane, both in terms of his knowledge and his plans.
But there's nothing we can do about it; the Winged King is known for 'Crazy Thursday,' it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
Well, anyway, although Appepp's story was quite long, the audience loved listening to it. These secrets are things that ordinary people can't access, which is very appealing.
However, the Nibelungen story seems to be entirely Appepp's personal bias; he could have simply said it was caused by eating the Red King...
Fine, I forgive her. At least her story was engaging.
Actually, Xianyun's story is quite good in this respect, and everyone likes to hear it, except for the person involved.
After telling her story, Apep sent Nasita and the traveler out of her body and said no more.
That's where he falls short compared to that woman, whose enthusiasm lasts a long time until it's interrupted.
Whether they were enthusiastic or not, the traveler and Nasita had other things to deal with, namely the little mushrooms left behind by the 'water mushroom beast'.
They also had to tell them a cruel reality, but how could they possibly say it?
Outside Sumeru City, the two mushroom beasts were still waiting for their "family" to return.
They were very obedient and well-behaved. The 'water mushroom beast' told them to wait for her to come back, and they waited obediently.
One of the fungus was overjoyed to see the traveler and Nasita return, and its cry expressed its emotions.
Great, you're back! Where's Mom?
The other fungus was somewhat puzzled. "Yes, where is she?"
Nasita said, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. It's gone home and won't be back for a long time."
In the end, Nasita still couldn't bring herself to say 'she's dead,' it would be too cruel.
But Narcida wasn't lying, because for the elemental beings, their actions just now were indeed 'going home,' and they might return in the future.
Nasida continued, "It said that 'Nur' is its most important family member."
"Nur is your name. Right?"
The fungus remained silent for a moment, as if in thought, and finally, with difficulty, uttered a sound different from the usual 'na na~':
【"Nu...Nuer..."】
The audience exclaimed that they couldn't stand it. The voice and words were not clear, but it was precisely this unclear pronunciation that made it even more heartbreaking.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the story, just those three indistinct syllables brought tears to everyone's eyes again.
It is trying to say its own name, trying to say the sound of 'Mom' calling it.
I wonder if 'Mom' will come back when it can say its own name fluently?
I don't know, because the story of the Grass God has ended, and this story has a lot of information and emotional depth.
In terms of information, the stories told by Apep are already very impactful for ordinary people, especially for desert people.
They are masters of emotional manipulation, their 'naive' voices repeatedly evoking the purest sadness and tenderness for adorable things.
Moreover, unlike the previous stories of deities, this story of Nasita does not talk about the deity's power, authority, or past; instead, it is told like the story of an ordinary person.
This makes the audience feel even more connected to the story, and their sadness is palpable.
However, despite their grief, everyone still had the ability to think calmly. Upon closer examination, they realized that if the 'fire seed' were protected, wouldn't the 'water fungus beasts' and the others not need to sacrifice themselves?
Having figured this out, people began to eagerly try, and adventurers with the Eye of God rushed headlong into the Dead Zone.
The others also wanted to escort the Grass God when he set off, fearing that something might go wrong.
But that's a story for later. Now, looking at the screen going out, Cole breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't been reading the prophecy book for very long, and the story was still almost entirely confined to the Sumeru story.
However, almost all of these stories focus on the word 'emotion,' which is exactly what Cole is looking for, especially the emotions between family members.
She had never felt the 'warmth' from outsiders before, and naturally had no emotional support. It wasn't until Amber appeared that she began to understand what emotions were.
Now, under the care of Tina and others, she has come to regard everyone as 'family', and this story is precisely an 'emotional knife' with 'family' as its theme.
It wasn't a typical family or household, but neither were Cole and Tinari.
Furthermore, emotions are often reciprocal, and the emotionally sensitive Cole is even more able to feel the 'emotion' involved.
So why do I keep reading these stories? Waaaaah.
Ke Lai felt like crying, but there were many people around, so she instinctively gripped her skirt tightly with her hands on her thighs.
Amber was right next to her and quickly noticed her emotions, placing her hand on Cole's hand.
Feeling the warmth from her hand, Cole turned her head and saw Amber's smiling face. Instantly, she felt her inner sadness healed and her emotions calmed down considerably.
With the understanding Amber beside her, her mood quickly improved, but Frynn was in a worse situation, as she was sitting next to Navelette.
He couldn't understand this emotion at all, and his expression was indifferent. Seeing him like this made Fulina even more heartbroken.
That wretched Navigette, why aren't you crying!
Claudia seems quite calm, why?
Then look at Lin Qiu, he didn't cry either. Damn it, you're all so awful!
Chapter 666 Appepp: Save me, Miss Nasita
Navia was just as sentimental as Funina, but unfortunately, Navia wasn't sitting next to her, so the two women couldn't share their feelings with each other.
Sitting next to Navia was Clorinde, who was even more important, her 'cold' expression matching that of Navelette.
Why aren't you sad? Can I use 'persuasion' on you?
But if we're talking about silence, it's Linne who's truly silent. Linne and Arecino aren't actually emotionless people, but they're the type who don't wear their emotions on their sleeves or on their lips.
So the two people sitting on either side of Linni are both expressionless but inwardly agitated.
People in fireplace houses can really connect with the concept of 'family,' especially since the creatures in the stories are so adorable and evoke a lot of affection.
Lynette loved the story. She looked at Lynette expressionlessly, silently conveying her emotions.
Most people wouldn't understand it, but luckily Linni is no ordinary person; he can understand his sister's meaning.
Reaching out to pat her head, soothing her sister's emotions, Lynette squinted her eyes slightly, clearly pleased.
Unfortunately, no one will pat Arecino's head anymore; the person who used to pat her head is no longer here.
Ying was much happier, because her family had gone home.
Therefore, these gods were mostly worried, and their focus was still on the matter of the grass dragon, which needed to be saved first, as it was extremely important.
There's no rush to watch Nel's story, because although they're supposed to be released together, there's still a time difference. After all, Narcida's story is a movie, while Nel's is a novel.
Therefore, with a few days of "window of opportunity," Nasida decided to use these days to resolve the Apep issue, as it was an urgent matter.
Fortunately, the prophecy book gave away spoilers, and many people spontaneously came to protect Nasita, which made little Nasita feel flattered and overwhelmed by the crowd. Surrounded by people, she seemed a little at a loss.
This group of people is so enthusiastic; it feels like they even hope Nasita can 'ride a horse'.
Nasita waved her little hand as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. She looked at Lin Qiu for help.
Lin Qiu offered no assistance, but instead waved his hand to signal the start of the journey. Finally, with Naxi Da's exclamation of "Ya~", he was swept forward by the crowd.
To be honest, Nasita was very safe walking in the crowd because she was completely invisible from the outside.
Because she is too short, her field of vision is not high enough, and even she herself cannot see the road clearly.
Having never traveled far from home before, she was now completely lost and had no idea where she was.
Therefore, when there are many people, you should carry the children on your shoulders, and that's what the Great Tree King did.
Although ordinary people may not remember the Great Compassion Tree King, the two of them look so alike that the scene is quite harmonious, they look like mother and daughter!
What a feast for the eyes! What a joy! What a worthwhile trip! Corpus cavernosum, it's time for you to unleash your power! Wait... it should be the hippocampus! Memory, I mean, I need to remember it.
In fact, besides the general public, several relatively idle gods also joined in, such as Venti, Venti, and Venti.
This was a significant and quite interesting matter, and Wendy didn't want to miss it.
However, Apep harbored considerable hostility towards the gods, so Wendy had no intention of revealing himself. He simply used the wind to guide everyone to Apep's lair and the 'fungi'.
Apep's lair is much easier to find since it's not moving. However, finding the 'Fungi' was really thanks to Wendy's help, which greatly shortened the time required.
Otherwise, if we really had to search slowly, we'd probably spend all our time on this.
Guided by the wind, they found the 'water mushroom beast', but it startled her. Why were these humans so enthusiastic?
The crowd peered around her, but no one actually touched her.
So cute, so incredibly cute! It feels so soft and cuddly, perfect for holding in your arms.
Without a doubt, mushroom-shaped body pillows will be hitting the market in just a couple of days.
If you can't get Lin Qiu to advertise for you, why don't you use the ready-made 'advertisements' in the prophecy book? If you can't, then you shouldn't be in this business.
But in fact, the water mushroom beast feels much more comfortable than the pillow, because it is cool and smooth to the touch, making it incredibly comfortable to hug, and it also has the fragrance of plants.
These are all things that are difficult to replicate with cushions, so everyone is seizing this opportunity to observe.
Opportunities to observe fungus beasts this closely are rare; they usually attack humans when they encounter them.
After all, you can't guarantee that humans won't attack you just because you don't attack them, so both sides adhere to the principle of striking first.
After such close observation, everyone realized that the little fungus is really cute, and they wish they could raise one if they had the chance.
Yes, some brothers, and there will be similar events in the future.
But we need to deal with a big problem first. With such extravagant protection, Nasita and the 'water mushroom beast' are naturally safe, but it's not so safe when they meet Apep.
What are they doing? Bringing so many people to my territory, are they declaring war? Do they really think I have no temper?
Alright! Alright! You wretched gods, I'll show you what it means to be completely subdued!
Appepp roared, "Tiny gods, tiny mortals, are you declaring war on me?!"
Apep's roar stirred up a sandstorm, but the sandstorm wasn't meant to attack; it seemed more like a show of force or a way to hide and escape.
Apep's current physical condition is quite bad. She doesn't want to go to war with humans; she wants to live to witness the return of the Dragon King.
So she planned to stir up a sandstorm to block her view, and then go back to her old lair to vent her frustration.
Nasita stepped forward and explained, "We have no intention of fighting with you, but you are sick and need to be treated."
Apep glanced at it and wondered, "Why is this tiny god sitting on the shoulders of such a large person? Who is this person?"
Apep couldn't tell if they looked alike, because from a dragon's perspective, humans all look pretty much the same, and the main way to distinguish humans is by elemental power.
Apep naturally refused, maintaining her stance: 'Helping her won't do any good, hmph~'.
Although he said that, Apep did not actually refuse Nasita's help. He stopped the sandstorm and took the initiative to absorb Nasita into his body, hoping that she could heal him.
