Chapter 723

can't you trust Nahida a little more?】

【Yae Miko: That may be so, but the people there will still be worried.

After all, the country is currently facing not only the problems of the Grass Dragon and Dottore, but also other issues.】

Seeing Yae Miko's message, everyone in Teyvat could not help but think of the situation of Scaramouche and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata appearing before the Irminsul.

For a time, Nilou, Faruzan, and other Sumerians became increasingly worried about the situation in Sumeru.

………………

Aaru Village, above.

"Sure enough... that is the power of Preservation!"

"I really must thank Lord Luo Feng properly."

"This way, there is no need to worry about everyone in Aaru Village getting hurt."

Nahida glanced down at the energy barrier covering the entire Aaru Village, and let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.

However, when she looked up at the Grass Dragon opposite her, her expression became stern again.

"Apep, please stop, let me help you."

After Nahida suppressed the surrounding sandstorm with the power of her Path, she flew quickly in front of the Grass Dragon.

Unfortunately, the Grass Dragon remained the same as before and did not respond to Nahida's intentions.

"Little deity, I don't need your power, get lost."

The Grass Dragon scolded angrily, and its huge body turned over again.

Seeing that the Grass Dragon was about to cause destruction to the surrounding environment again, Nahida had no choice but to decide to restrict the Grass Dragon's movements first.

Nahida waved out a crystal energy of emerald green, making it fall quickly onto the Grass Dragon's huge body.

The next moment, the small energy crystal burst open, turning into constantly growing vines that quickly spread to the Grass Dragon's entire huge body.

For a time, the Grass Dragon's huge body was frozen in mid-air, and the shaking of the earth was finally silent for a moment.

【Nilou: It... it stopped?!】

【Kaveh: So amazing, Lesser Lord Kusanali actually created vines that could cover the Grass Dragon's entire huge body!】

【Neuvillette: Such power, it shouldn't just be Lesser Lord Kusanali's own power, but also the blessing of the power of a Path.】

Just as Neuvillette speculated, it was impossible for Nahida to control the Grass Dragon relying solely on her original power.

The vines covering the Grass Dragon's whole body also contained the concentrated power of Nahida's Path of Memory.

However, controlling the Grass Dragon was also a significant drain for Nahida, who had stepped onto a Path.

Especially when the Grass Dragon was still trying to struggle.

"Apep, please trust me, I will help you get rid of Dottore's control."

"Otherwise, the situation in your body will become increasingly dire."

"You should be able to feel the invasion of the power of the Path of Propagation."

Nahida flew close to the Grass Dragon and said with concern.

"I said, I don't need your help!"

"I naturally have my own ways to fight against the invaders."

The Grass Dragon said in a muffled voice.

Just kidding, it regarded deities as its enemies, so how could it accept Nahida's help.

What's more, it indeed had the confidence to resist the invasion from Dottore.

"But if this continues, disaster will further befall the people living on this land."

"They are innocent."

Nahida frowned slightly and looked at Aaru Village below.

Although Aaru Village was covered by an energy barrier, Nahida could still see the dilapidated environment.

【Charlotte: Yeah, yeah, if this continues, everyone living there will suffer more unwarranted disasters.】

【Xiangling: Really, Nahida clearly intends to help, why does that Grass Dragon refuse!】

【Neuvillette: Although it is not impossible to understand the Grass Dragon's thoughts, if Dottore succeeds, the result will be even worse.】

【Yun Jin: Could the Grass Dragon say such things because of the influence of Forbidden Knowledge and Dottore's power of a Path?】

【Chongyun: Is it like when the Stormterror Dvalin was bewitched by the blood of the poisoned dragon and the whispers of the Abyss and couldn't listen to others?】

【Barbatos: It's not impossible! However, the Grass Dragon refusing Nahida must also be influenced by its own will.】

【Dvalin: Can you stop bringing me up every time?】

【Andrius: Give it up, that's already your dark history! Speaking of which, counting being taught a lesson by Signora, your dark history is getting more and more.】

【Dvalin: Damn it!】

After hearing Nahida's words, the Grass Dragon also looked down at Aaru Village below.

After seeing the ruins of Aaru Village, the Grass Dragon fell into silence for a moment.

Although it didn't care much about the living conditions of the people of this country,

it didn't mean it wanted innocent people to get hurt because of itself.

Do I really need to borrow her power?

The Grass Dragon looked at Nahida and thought unwillingly.

As if sensing the Grass Dragon's thoughts, Dottore, whose half body had already sunk into the Grass Dragon's body, spoke up.

"This won't do, the experiment cannot be stopped here."

Dottore smiled.

Hearing this, the Grass Dragon was about to scold Dottore, but its body was suddenly invaded by a strange feeling.

It looked down at Dottore and was surprised to find that Dottore's body was melting rapidly, turning into a black mud-like substance and merging into its own body.

"Bastard, even if you commit suicide, you want to turn me into a bug?"

The Grass Dragon said in shock.

As Dottore's body gradually turned into black mud, the Grass Dragon could clearly feel Dottore's presence weakening.

Relatively speaking, the strange sense of invasion that Dottore brought to the Grass Dragon was getting worse.

The intuitive manifestation was that the Grass Dragon's body showed more and more signs of turning into a bug.

Seeking flowers

"Hehe, experiments naturally require a spirit of self-sacrifice."

"Even if I die, this experiment needs to continue."

"Someone will record the experimental data."

Dottore said in a muffled voice.

If possible, Dottore would naturally want to slowly transform the Grass Dragon.

However, Nahida appeared to stir up trouble, and Luo Feng also appeared nearby.

Although Luo Feng had no intention of taking action now, it was hard to guarantee that the people around Luo Feng wouldn't take action.

Dottore understood that he no longer had enough time.

Since that was the case, he could only execute Plan B, using everything he had to transform the Grass Dragon and collect as much data as possible for the Path of Propagation Dottore.

This was also the plan set when the Path of Propagation Dottore handed over most of the power of the Path to him.

"Human, you dare!"

The Grass Dragon roared angrily.

However, at this time, Dottore's body had completely turned into black mud. He had no way to reply to the Grass Dragon anymore.

And as Dottore abandoned this body, the Grass Dragon immediately felt its consciousness covered by chaos.

Vaguely, Nahida not far away seemed to have become the Scarlet King who had once caused it to be troubled by Forbidden Knowledge.

For a time, a strong feeling of hatred surged into the Grass Dragon's heart.

"Scarlet King, you deceived me!"

The Grass Dragon roared angrily, its body surged violently, and violent energy escaped from its body, crazily sweeping the emerald green vines Nahida used to trap the Grass Dragon.

And with the uncontrolled use of Forbidden Knowledge and the power of the Path of Propagation that Dottore merged into its body, the Grass Dragon's body showed more and more signs of turning into a huge bug.

Finally, accompanied by harsh "crack" sounds.

The vines Nahida had worked so hard to maintain were snapped one by one, and the Grass Dragon regained its freedom once again.

"Roar roar roar!"

The frantic dragon roar suddenly resounded through the entire desert, spreading in all directions.
