Wait until all the shaking stops, and until the smoke and dust slowly dissipate.
What remains in the center of the city is a huge hole, like a giant meteorite crater, with a diameter of at least two hundred meters and a depth of over one hundred meters.
A serpentine, broken body can be vaguely seen in the middle.
Hint: Complete the mission: Natural Enemy (Part Two)
Receive mission rewards
Alchemy creature storage slots increased by 2, current total is 11, some databases are unlocked.
The task was rated as excellent, but no additional rewards were given.
Whether to collect Transcendent Energy materials or extract Evil Souls, alchemical creatures can remotely obtain them by touching the corpses.
Wu You chose "yes" for both.
Hint: You have obtained 100 Transcendent Energy Material Points, extracted a complete Silver Evil Soul, and obtained 600 Alchemy Energy Points.
Seeing this large sum of money, Wu You was still complacent.
I breathed a sigh of relief; I finally got rid of that bastard.
But once his attention was diverted from the previous battle, he sensed something was wrong.
It was an emotion that permeated the entire city of Jiulu; it was "sorrow".
Jiulu City was undoubtedly a large city, with a vast area, towering city walls, and a large population.
But look at the present.
Wu You lowered the altitude slightly.
Looking down from the air at every corner of Jiulu City.
Nine out of ten houses collapsed, and countless civilians were killed or injured.
Some of them were devoured by the blood dragon, but most were probably caught in the aftermath of the battle between the two giant beasts.
Wait until the battlefield quiets down for two minutes.
Only then did faint cries of agony begin to rise from all corners of Jiulu City.
This is a disaster, a disaster for ordinary people.
The silver creatures are more terrifying to them than natural disasters, and their bodies are more fragile to the silver creatures than dust.
On the ground, people were also trying their best to rescue those trapped in the rubble.
However, lacking effective organization and proper order, they acted in a chaotic manner, each crying out for their loved ones.
A little boy sits crying in front of a collapsed mud-brick building.
"Mommy... I want my mommy..."
But none of his family members, who used to care for him, showed up at this time.
People passed by him, but their expressions were blank and numb.
A well-dressed man was frantically digging through the rubble with his bare hands, calling out the names of his loved ones.
Several limping people helped each other out of a building that had not yet collapsed.
Then he lay on the open ground, staring blankly at the sky, at Wu You and Qiongqi in the sky.
Besides weeping and wailing, Jiulu City lost all other sounds.
Ao Guang hovered and circled above the spot where the blood dragon's corpse had disappeared. After the master had just ordered it to approach the blood dragon, it had not responded.
Wu You stared blankly at the tragic scene in the city below, like a puppet.
After a long while, he suddenly came to his senses.
I subconsciously stretched out my hands and looked at them, as if they were covered in something.
When you become stronger and stronger, when no one can restrain you.
When the arrogance and hubris brought about by power reach a certain level, will it corrupt a person's mind?
The fated battle between the Azure Dragon and the Blood Dragon had indeed been on Wu You's mind for a long time.
But is it really that urgent?
Is it really necessary to start a war outside the city as soon as the Blood Dragon shows up?
Why can't we set a trap to lure the blood dragon away like we did last time?
Others may not understand the destructive power of silver-level creatures, but do you really not understand it yourself?
It was indeed somewhat unexpected that the Blood Dragon was defeated in the battle and then entered the city to slaughter and devour everything in its path.
But what was your first reaction?
The intention was not to disturb Qingjiao's fighting spirit, but to create a fair one-on-one contest for Ao Guang.
At that time, the thousands of people in Jiulu City were considered second-rate, or even ignored, in his mind.
Indeed, I don't feel a strong sense of belonging to this world, and sometimes I even have the illusion that I'm just living in a game instance.
But what exists beneath are real people, a human group that is definitely connected to Earth.
They have their own families, their own happiness, their own troubles, and their own dreams.
I do hate hypocrites, but now I've brought about my own destruction.
Aside from the unavoidable feeling of guilt, Wu You asked himself a few questions with great seriousness.
What kind of person do I want to become? A god?
Another philosophical question is: what is the humanity that one recognizes?
If this mindset continues to be so indulgent, will one day I treat my relatives and parents with the same indifference as I just did?
At this moment, Wu You's mind was completely absorbed in his inner world, and time seemed to stand still.
His gaze refocused.
If one day I were flying overhead and there was a natural disaster happening below, would I intervene?
It's unlikely.
But what if I were to become a cold-blooded killer?
Obviously not.
What is one's true nature? It's about protecting those you care about and crushing those you hate. In short, it's about having a clear conscience.
Looking down at the city below, what seemed like a long internal monologue only caused the wheel of time to turn for less than a minute.
"Mo Ke, let's go down!"
Upon hearing the order, Qiongqi flew directly downwards, while Qingjiao, seeing Wu You descend from the sky, also flew out from the large pit in the center of the city.
The people in the city saw Wu You and Qiongqi descending from the sky, along with the giant blue dragon.
Without exception, their eyes were filled with fear.
Wu You's expression returned to calm.
Summon: The Vampire Legion.
Summon: All Ancient Treants.
Summon: Garurumon.
Summon: Little Tengu.
Summon: Merfolk Legion.
Summon: White Eagle.
...
The clouds that had been gathering in the sky slowly dispersed before a single drop of rain fell, and the sun shone again.
Aside from a few essential creatures that couldn't be moved easily, Wu You summoned a large number of alchemical creatures from his possession all at once.
Following Wu You's commands disseminated through his consciousness waves, all the alchemical creatures sprang into action.
The crying little boy was still sitting in front of the ruins of his house, weeping.
Amidst the slight tremors of the ground, a shadow that blocked out the sunlight approached, and the people around them ran away in a panic, leaving only the little boy standing there.
He raised his head blankly.
A giant tree monster, green mixed with the color of tree bark, stopped not far away.
A pair of giant hands covered in wooden knots reached down from above.
Just as the little boy covered his head and closed his eyes, the giant wooden hand passed by him and gently grabbed a piece of the collapsed wall.
In just a few moments, the ancient tree spirit cleared away the accumulated bricks, tiles, and roofs from the collapsed houses.
A faint groan came from the broken house.
"Mommy! It's Mommy!" The little boy ran over excitedly.
Several of the people who were trapped still showed signs of life.
A vampire immediately came over to give the wound basic treatment.
Given their existing modern knowledge and expertise in blood, the task of acting as temporary surgeons was a piece of cake for them.
Alchemical creatures could be seen everywhere in the city helping to rescue people from the rubble.
Some of the wounded, some with minor injuries, were gradually gathered in an open area.
Not long after, Bai Yanxi was also brought here by Wu You.
The shock of the otherworld lasted only a short while before Old Man Bai threw himself into healing the sick and saving lives, and the sacred medicine Rejuvenating Ointment was supplied in large quantities.
Fortunately, the buildings in Jiulu City were not tall, mostly only one or two stories, and the materials used were mainly soil, lime, and wood. As a result, more people were injured than killed when they were trapped.
Wu You himself was not idle either; he helped Old Man Bai treat the wounded.
Furthermore, thanks to Qiongqi's special abilities, the rescued person's emotions gradually shifted from fear to stability.
