Looking at West Germany's nervous denial, Nikolade did not doubt it and believed him.

Then Nikoride looked at Wang Daoyi curiously: "Lord of the Red Sands, no, the great Lord of the Red Sands, how do you know that the other party is in the form of a mushroom beast?" ”

Wang Daoyi smiled mysteriously, the entire Chisha headquarters was under his sight, as long as he wanted to know, he could naturally know.

"Hah, I'll just guess." Wang Daoyi shook his head, and then continued to ask, "So do you have any research results?" ”

Hearing Wang Daoyi ask about the results, Nikoride was a little frustrated, he shook his head: "I'm sorry, although the other party is an elemental life, but I feel that it is wise, I promised Albedo that I will not use some means when the intelligent life refuses, so I have nothing to gain." ”

Nicholed was incomplete, and Albedo, fearing that he would go down the wrong path, made many pacts with him.

Experimenting with them without going against the will of intelligent beings is one of them.

Of course, if it is Wang Daoyi's order, then it is another matter.

"Ha, no need to apologize, Nikoradid, you can keep the agreement with Albedo, which means that you have [Faithfulness], and you have not attacked the weak elemental life, which means that you have [Mercy]."

Wang Daoyi looked at the other party with a smile and gave a compliment: "All this shows that you are one step closer to [people], congratulations." ”

"Really?" Nikoride's eyes lit up, and then a smirk appeared on his face, like a social animal who had been PUA by his boss.

And the unscrupulous boss nodded: "Of course, the next time you see Albedo, you can tell him about it, and he will give the same evaluation as me." ”

Because Wang Daoyi would tell Albedo in advance, after preconceived ideas, Albedo would naturally think that Nicolaid had grown up.

However, Nicored didn't know Wang Daoyi's little Jiujiu, and when he heard Wang Daoyi's words, the smirk on his face was again. Exuberant a little bit.

"I'll talk about elemental life later, I'll see for myself later." Wang Daoyi first skimmed over the matter of elemental life and the Dead Domain, and then continued to ask, "Have you ever been to see the sandworms?" ”

Nikolaid's professional quality is still very strong, and when he heard Wang Daoyi's question, he quickly restrained the smile on his face, then thought for a while, and said with some solemnity: "The soldiers brought back the corpse of a sandworm before, and I studied it. ”

"This creature is also a high-level elemental life, as for the reason for their rage, I haven't found out yet, but, I guess, it should be related to their bloodline."

"Bloodline?" Wang Daoyi muttered,

Regarding the bloodline of the sandworm, Wang Daoyi naturally knows,

Like the dragon lizard, they belong to the [dragon species], and they are the descendants of the ancient dragon family, although they look completely similar to dragons now, but there is no doubt that they are still elemental creatures of the dragon genus.

By the way, Teyvat's [Dragon] is not a simple dragon, but refers to the highest evolutionary form of all elemental creatures.

The seven most terrifying kings in the legend are not called the Seven Dragon Kings in some of the documents of the White Night Kingdom, in fact, they should be more accurately called the Seven Elemental Kings, representing the apex of Teyvat's single element.

Sandworms, on the other hand, are direct or branch descendants of one of these elemental kings.

"That's right, I checked the documents of the various tribes collected by the Chisha tribe, and found that the sandworms had never rioted so much before this."

"And I investigated the environment of the sandy land recently, and there have been no large-scale changes, and various biological populations are still reproducing in an orderly manner."

"Excluding the influence of external factors, then, the riot of the sandworms must be internal factors, and the riots of the sandworms are collective, not individual and accidental, so I speculate that their riots come from the throbbing of the blood."

Nicolaid gives a set of well-founded inferences.

Wang Dao nodded, and then asked, "If it wasn't for environmental factors, could it be the tribe's hunting of sandworms that led to the riot?" ”

"Impossible, in order to raise the price of sandworm oil, West Germany has previously stipulated that the hunting of sandworms must be orderly and not indiscriminate." Nikored shook his head and explained, "I've read the information, and in fact, the tribe doesn't hunt as many sandworms as the Tanit tribe used to be. ”

Wang Dao nodded, his face was a little gloomy: "Okay, the origin of the sandworms, I know some, if it is the bloodline that causes them to go berserk, then the problem is a bit serious, I will deal with it, in the near future, I will withdraw the exploration team, and concentrate on dealing with the problem of the dead domain first." ”

The bloodline of the sandworm comes from a certain ancient dragon, so immortal, and now the desert and rainforest, the entire Sumeru, are the territory of that ancient dragon.

"Looks like we'll have to talk to Nahida about it." Wang Daoyi thought in his heart.

Naturally, he wouldn't go alone to explore the ancient being, even if he had the idea in the first place.

But after remembering the future picture he had seen in the Enxia Palace earlier, the idea also became to discuss with Nahida.

He had a vague premonition that the giant beast in the yellow sand was the master of the sandworms, the ancient dragon who ruled over all plants and trees.

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Wang Daoyi looked at Xide again: "Is there anything else besides these?" ”

Sid thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "There is one more thing. It's not a big deal."

Seeing Sid's hesitant appearance, Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Say it, there is no need to hesitate, just say it if you have something." ”

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Sid showed a wry smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the Kaveh scholars have overspent on the construction of the temple more than a dozen times, I want to ask, do you want to continue to maintain investment?" ”

Originally, he was very supportive of Kaveh and Sid, after all, there is only one sun in Sid's heart, and that is the lord of the red sand, Wang Daoyi.

And Kaveh's job is to build a temple for Wang Daoyi, which belongs to contributing to the glory of the Lord of the Red Sand.

However, this support, after more than a dozen overspending, gradually turned into hesitation.

After all, it was originally for Kaveh to design and build a supporting building for the statue of the gods,

Later, Kaveh became more and more elaborately designed, and nowadays, the statues are almost as attractive as those temples.

"Kaveh." Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, and then his perspective changed, switching to the perspective of the idol, overlooking the entire idol area.

What was once a simple building has been transformed into a beautiful complex of buildings with huge statues of gods surrounding the center,

However, under the thorough sight of Wang Daoyi, it can be seen that the interior of those exquisite buildings has not been renovated much.

However, on this scale, it is no wonder that a fanatical believer in the royal road like West Germany hesitates.

The perspective changed, and he cut back into the tent.

"Tell Kaveh not to expand the temple anymore, it is okay to maintain it now, in addition, use the temple, don't leave it empty, and it can be appropriately converted into a collection room, a library, an alchemy room and other essential places."

Wang Daoyi didn't need a huge temple, and no matter how huge the temple was, it wouldn't bring him the slightest practical benefit, and it was mainly a face-saving project to maintain the pride of the tribesmen.

Allowing the people of the sand to see the temples and statues of the gods standing in the desert is conducive to rule and stability.

It's like the spectacle in the game, it's really useful to say it's useful, but it doesn't seem to be that useful.

Therefore, the transformation of the vacant temple into some practical rooms can also be regarded as resource reuse.

Below the main seat, Sid listened to Wang Daoyi's words and nodded again and again.

After talking about the temple, Wang Daoyi asked again, "Well, is there anything else?" Is there any message from the rainforest? ”

"There's nothing big about it, and I can solve the rest of the small things." Sid shook his head, "From the rainforest, I just came to the message a few days ago, saying that everything is normal. ”

"Okay." Wang Dao nodded, stretched out his hand, and a picture scroll appeared, with several figures on it.

This is the picture scroll restored by Wang Daoyi according to the future picture he saw in Yuanxia Palace.

The figure above is the desert scholar who visited Wang Daoyi in the temple in the future picture.

"Sid, take this scroll and tell everyone to pay attention to it, and if you find someone similar to it, report it to me in time."

Sid stretched out his hand to take the scroll that floated towards him, and first looked at it carefully, well, he didn't know any of them.

Then he solemnly put away the scroll: "Yes, my god." ”

Seeing that Sid had put away the scroll, Wang Daoyi looked at Nicholed: "Let's go, now go and see the elemental life you said." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the door of the tent, as if he didn't need someone to lead the way, he knew where his destination was.

There was a twinkle in Nicholed's eyes, and he had a little guess,

Perhaps, in this area that belongs to the red sand, this lord of the red sand is really 'omniscient'.

When I got out of the camp, I saw the two sisters guarding in boredom.

Seeing Wang Dao come out, the sisters looked at him with blank eyes.

"You two should follow along, there's no need to stay here all the time when I'm not here."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, the sisters were a little anxious: "This is not good, Lord, this is your residence, in case some small people sneak in, then."

Wang Dao waved his hand and interrupted Kaisha's words: "In the future, I will live in the temple, and you should also go to the temple together." ”

"Yes, Lord." Hearing that Wang Daoyi was going to take them to live in the temple, the sisters immediately abandoned the place.

They just wanted to stay by Wang Daoyi's side, to be closer to their gods.

Ignoring the two sisters who began to have little stars in their eyes, Wang Daoyi walked towards the central forest.

In his previous perception, the so-called elemental life rested in the forest.

Obviously, Nicholred not only did not use his hands to force the study of it, but even gave this elemental life a certain degree of freedom, and did not imprison it in a cage.

All the way to the central forest, the temperature here has dropped a lot due to the influence of the forest and the lake, and a cool breeze flows here.

Coming to the entrance of the forest, Nikored stretched out his hand and patted it, as if summoning elemental life,

Soon, there was a sound of rustling in the forest, and after a while, a tall and sturdy Lu Xingyan True Mushroom came out of the forest with five slightly smaller Lu Xingyan True Mushrooms.

After the leader Lu Xingyan saw Nikored, he showed a kind expression, and then saw Wang Daoyi on the side, and immediately showed a trace of vigilance and vigilance.

However, the five rock mushroom beasts that were originally following the leader of the Lu Xing Rock Mushroom Beast, after seeing the royal road,

Seemed to hesitate for a moment, then snorted humanely, as if sniffing something.

Finally, their eyes lit up, and they moved towards Wang Daoyi's side.

"Gollum, Gollum~"

They came to Wang Daoyi's side and let out a sound of joy.

Looking at these Lu Xingyan True Mushrooms, a trace of memory that was almost forgotten by him surfaced in Wang Daoyi's mind.

A smile appeared in his eyes, and Wang Daoyi reached out and touched the knife mushroom head of the mushroom beast beside him: "It turned out to be you, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

That's right, these five Lu Xingyan True Mushrooms are the group of mushroom beasts that Wang Daoyi subdued when he first came to the Great Red Sand Sea.

At the beginning, Wang Daoyi's leyline shuttle technology was still very ordinary, and he needed to shuttle at a fixed point, so he set a leyline point in a desert ruin.

By the way, I subdued the mushroom beast in the ruins as security.

At that time, they were still ordinary mushroom beasts, and it was Wang Dao who promoted them to Lu Xingyan True Mushroom as a reward for guarding the leyline points.

Later, Wang Daoyi became more and more proficient in the leyline shuttle technology, and he forgot about that remote leyline point.

Unexpectedly, these mushroom beasts actually came to the Chisha tribe.

"Huh? Lord of the Red Sands, do you know these mushrooms? On the side, Nikored watched Wang Daoyi interact closely with the mushrooms, revealing a hint of curiosity.

As if teasing a puppy, he reached out and scratched the chin of the mushroom beast, and nodded his head: "Yes, speaking of which, they are my earliest 'followers'." ”

As he spoke, Wang Daoyi looked at the huge and sturdy Lu Xingyan True Mushroom: "So, who are you?" Why are you with them? ”

It can be seen from the appearance of the mushroom beasts just now that this mushroom beast that is not a mushroom beast has established a leader position in this group of land walking rock true mushrooms.

The huge and sturdy mushroom beast heard Wang Daoyi's question, and instead of answering, he looked at Nicholed.

It was more willing to trust Nicholid, who brought him back, than Wang Daoyi, who brought him back.

"This is the Lord of the Red Sands, the master of this land, and you can trust him." Nicholred nodded at the large, muscular mushroom.

"Lord of the Red Sands? I felt it, a powerful light, a blazing light, an endless light, like the king in my memory. ”

The giant mushroom beast spoke.

Wang Daoyi was not surprised that the other party spoke, after all, the other party was just like a mushroom beast, essentially an elemental life, and an incomparably pure elemental life, and it was not difficult to learn the words of a human being.

"It seems that you are very old and have a long story, but I have plenty of time to listen to your story."

Wang Dao's eyes showed interest.

"Tell me first, what are you?"

The huge Iwamoto real mushroom hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about whether to tell Wang Daoyi,

Wang Daoyi didn't urge, just waited.

After a few breaths, the giant mushroom beast spoke: "I am an elemental spirit born in the garden, our lord has been polluted, causing our home to be uninhabitable, we have left our home and started looking for a way to save it. ”

"Where's the garden?" Wang Daoyi asked.

"Garden. The world that was conceived by the Lord of Plants and Trees is the most beautiful place, but now the Lord of Plants and Trees is polluted, and the garden is also polluted. ”

Wang Daoyi immediately caught an adjective: "The Lord of Plants and Trees?" ”

The giant mushroom beast nodded slowly: "The original master of Sumeru, the original master of the grass and trees, and also our home, the dragon of grass, Apep." ”

A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes, and Wang Daoyi immediately asked, "Are you or you the dependents of the grass dragon Apepe?" ”

Unfortunately, in the face of this question, the giant mushroom beast shook its head: "No, the dependents of the [Home] are huge elemental beings that you call sandworms, and we, not so much dependents, are actually more like attachments from the birth of the [Home], and we are part of the [Home]." ”

Listening to the words of the giant mushroom beast, Wang Daoyi bowed slightly, although the words of the giant mushroom beast were a little twisted, but Wang Daoyi could understand it.

"Have you found a way to heal your home?" Wang Daoyi asked again.

The giant mushroom nodded: "Found it, the great king of grass has promised us that he will cleanse us of all filth, and when the time comes, we can go home." ”

Wang Dao nodded, he knew that the king of grass in the other party's mouth must not refer to Apep, the dragon of grass, because Apep itself is the object to be saved.

It couldn't be Nahida, because the current Nahida couldn't save Apep.

Then it can only be the Great Mercy Tree King.

[Sure enough, the shadow of Ishtaru is not wrong, the wisdom of the Great Mercy Tree King is enough for him to see the future, and some fallen gods have calculated the future. 】

Wang Daoyi thought inwardly.

Then, Wang Dao looked at the giant mushroom beast and asked the final question: "So, why are you here?" ”

Slightly stunned for a moment, then the giant mushroom beast understood Wang Daoyi's question, and it turned its head to look in the direction of the Thousand Gully Sands: "The promise of the King of Grass has not yet arrived, but the [Home] is in pain, we must rush back to the [Home] and return our elemental power to Him to help the [Home] resist erosion." ”

A touch of shock appeared in his eyes, and Wang Daoyi was a little puzzled: "You say, you want to return the elemental power to Apepe?" Are you coming back to die? ”

"It's not to die, it's [to go home]." The giant mushroom beast shook its head and denied Wang Daoyi's claim.

Wang Daoyi was silent for a while, and quickly understood part of the other party's concept.

For this kind of elemental life born from Apep, they themselves are a part of Apep, and returning themselves to Apep is itself an act of return, and naturally it is not a 'death'.

However, from the perspective of human beings,

These elemental mushroom beasts are all intelligent beings, and their act of returning their elemental power is 'sending them to death'.

After all, without the elemental power, these elemental mushroom beasts would naturally dissipate.
