Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

With the help of the mysterious black robe, the travelers successfully entered the Wind Dragon Ruins.

They were walking on a bridge at this time.

"By the way, Jiang Ming."

Captain Qin looked at Jiang Ming.

"You don't seem to have any weapons yet?"

"Hmm? Yes, there is."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming took out Hanyu Bingtian from the system space for everyone to review.

"This weapon is really beautiful."

Qin exclaimed with genuine admiration.

"Well, its name is the Imperial Spirit Blade - Cold Prison Ice Sky... Actually, I don't have the Eye of God."

"Eh? Now that you mention it, it's true."

Paimeng looked Jiang Ming up and down and found that he really did not have the Eye of God.

"Could it be that you, like Ying, can control elemental forces without the Eye of God?"

"Haha, how could it be?"

Jiang Ming raised the Hanyu Bingtian in his hand.

"In fact, the Frost Prison Ice Sky is very special. Its function is similar to that of the Eye of God, so even an ordinary person like me can control the elemental power of ice."

“It’s so amazing!”

Paimeng stared with wide eyes at the one-handed sword in Jiang Ming's hand that was as thin as ice.

"Haha, okay."

"Do you have any similar weapons?"

The taciturn Diluk asked.

"Well... not much, unfortunately."

Jiang Ming shook his head.

"...Not too much?"

"Yes, but they are my companions who have been through thick and thin with me."

"..."

"So how's your strength? I heard from the traveler that you seem very strong."

"Well, I'll tell you the truth."

Jiang Ming lowered his head and sighed.

"In fact, I was seriously injured and have not fully recovered yet. Currently, I can only exert 70% of my strength at most."

"Is it......"

While chatting, everyone crossed the bridge and entered the tower where the Wind Dragon lived, but they were soon stopped by an unknown seal.

"Oh my, it looks like we can't go any further."

Wendy said to everyone after a brief thought.

"There seem to be some very ancient seals in this ruin. We can't get in unless we remove them."

"Is this also Tevarin's doing?"

Paimon asked, somewhat worriedly.

"No, these ruins were once an ancient city. Tevarin is only living here temporarily. The ruins themselves are actually older than the time of the Guardians of the Four Winds."

"The style of this seal... Based on my knowledge of archaeology, it should be a light-guiding mechanism."

Diluk said after careful observation.

"Put all the scattered parts back into the main body, and the light-guiding ritual will be completed."

"Well, judging from the situation at the scene, the light-guiding ceremony of this mechanism seems to be close to completion. Let's put the last part back and see..."

Before Qin could finish her words, she saw Jiang Ming had already put the scattered parts back in place, sighing as he did so.

"It's amazing... This is my first time experiencing it myself."

After Jiang Ming finished the installation, the tower shook slightly, and a blue pattern that looked like a formation from a fantasy world flashed by.

"It seems that the way we broke the mechanism was correct. There should be three layers of protective rings in this tower now."

"That means we still need to find three more light-guiding mechanisms to unlock all the seals."

Qin looked at the others.

"Everyone, we need to split up."

"I alone am enough."

After saying that, Diluk walked towards the light-guiding mechanism in the northwest direction.

"Wait, Dilu...Ah."

"Master Diluk always seems to be alone."

"It is our Knights who let him down..."

"Then Ying, Paimon, and Wendy, please go to the southwest. Jiang Ming, you come with me to the northeast."

Qin cheered herself up and gave instructions to everyone.

"Ok!"

"Ah."

...................................................

Jiang Ming and Qin soon arrived at the light-guiding mechanism in the northeast direction.

"From the perspective of the mechanism, we probably need to find three parts. Jiang Ming, let's first..."

After carefully observing the mechanism, Qin wanted to remind Jiang Ming, but when she turned around, she saw that Jiang Ming had already found two parts.

"You...are really decisive."

"Hehe, time is money. Under the current situation, we can't afford to stay for even a moment. The longer we stay, the more dangerous Tevarin will be."

Jiang Ming went forward and installed the two parts he had found, but when he turned around, he was shocked: "Qin, be careful!"

A relic guard suddenly appeared not far behind Qin and fired six missiles at her. Because it was a mechanical and there was no sound, and more importantly, it did not attack Jiang Ming, so Jiang Ming did not notice it at the first time. Seeing that the missile was about to hit Qin, Jiang Ming could not care less for a while.

"Damn it!"

A golden light flashed, and Jiang Ming instantly came in front of Qin, protected her behind him, and took out the Ksitigarbha Soul.

"The soul of the emperor appears!"

A huge warrior in bright red armor appeared and protected Jiang Ming and Qin, blocking all six missiles.

But just after the soul manifestation was lifted, Jiang Ming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ahem——!!"

"What's going on? Why am I suddenly hit by a strong backlash?"

[I told you not to use Honkai Energy]

The system came forward to explain, its tone full of helplessness.

[Do you also want the land here to be eroded by the Honkai Energy? I'll help you solve it this time, but next time it won't be as simple as spitting out some blood.]

'Is there no way to solve this problem?'

[Host, you are not qualified yet]

"..."

"Jiang Ming, are you okay?"

Qin quickly helped Jiang Ming up and focused his attention on the ruins guard in front of him.

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Jiang Ming waved his hands and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his uncomfortable expression did not seem to indicate that everything was fine.

"Feel sorry......"

"Let's get rid of it first."

Jiang Ming stood up with Qin's help and adjusted his breathing.

Seeing that the ruins guard was about to launch a missile again, Jiang Ming immediately condensed an ice cone and stabbed it towards the "eye" behind the ruins guard.

"boom--!!"

Unfortunately, Jiang Ming was still in a state of backlash, and the ice cone did not successfully pierce the target.

"Ahem, damn it, I didn't expect the backlash to be so severe."

Just when Jiang Ming was about to take some special measures, a gentle breeze appeared and blew on his face, healing his injuries and clearing his negative state. He could even see some dandelions surrounding him.

"Wind—answer me."

Qin raised the Wind Eagle Sword in her hand and activated the Dandelion Field to heal Jiang Ming. Soon Jiang Ming was freed from the intense backlash.

"Ice sky and frozen clouds!"

Jiang Ming held the Hanyu Bingtian tightly in his right hand and swung it forward. A large ice pillar appeared and blocked the missile.

"Here comes the sword!"

As Jiang Ming finished his words, the remaining ice turned into dozens of Eight Desolate Swords, which chopped off the hands and feet of the ruins guard one by one, and the last sword directly pierced its "eye".

"Oh, Captain Qin, thank you."

Qin shook her head.

"No, I should be the one thanking you."

"Ah."

Jiang Ming nodded and walked towards the ruins guarding the wreckage.

“I didn’t expect the last component to be on the ruins guard.”

Jiang Ming installed the last component into the light-guiding mechanism. At the same time, the remaining three layers of seals were all broken. It seemed that Ying and the others had also succeeded.

......................................................

Return to the tower.

"Everyone, I'm glad to see you all back safely."

"So, next, we are going to challenge the Wind Dragon head-on? I have no objection to that. But then again, Qin is the one who wants to avoid a fight the most."

Diluk looked at Qin beside Jiang Ming.

"Do not."

Qin shook her head when she heard that.

"When there is no better choice, I will take the responsibility of changing the policy. If defeating the wind dragon is the only option, then I will be the knight who charges forward."

"The enemy is... a giant dragon! It's very oppressive!"

Paimon said with some fear.

"Humans also have their own heritage. Let's go."

Afterwards, several people entered the seal together and came to a place that was strange but very familiar to Jiang Ming - it was the scene of the Wind Demon Dragon Zhou Ben.

At this time, there was a person confronting the Wind Demon Dragon, and the Wind Demon Dragon was obviously feeling a little tired.

"That's——Black Robe! I didn't expect that he would arrive here before us."

"Perhaps he came in as soon as we lifted the seal."

At this time, the man in black robe also noticed them.

"Haha, you are finally here."

The man in black robe looked at them with a smile.

"I have already cleared one of the two layers of filth on the Wind Demon Dragon. I will leave the last layer to you. I can't take all the credit, right?"

Having said that, he left again.

"He is really resolute and decisive."

Paimon sighed while hiding behind everyone.

"Watch out! The Wind Dragon is starting to attack us!"

Diluk reminded everyone.

5 minute later.

Several huge wind bombs were heading towards them.

"Guardian Sword·Youlan!"

Under Jiang Ming's exquisite control, he turned the Wind Dragon's attack into his own, and violent wind surrounded him.

"Sword Swift."

The violent wind gradually formed a flying swallow,

"Diluk, spit, no, lend me a light!"

After Diluk injected the element of fire into it, the original wind swallow suddenly turned into a fire swallow, which was extremely hot.

"go with!"

Under Jiang Ming's wave, the Fire Swallow seemed to come alive and flew in the air for two and a half weeks before hitting the Wind Dragon.

Soon the flames were spread everywhere by the wind. The Wind Dragon, who was already exhausted physically and mentally by the beating from the black robe, was now even worse off and collapsed powerlessly on the platform.

"Ying, I leave it to you."

"Ah."

Finally, through Ying's ability to purify filth, Tevarin was successfully rescued from the clutches of the abyss.

......................................................

Cathedral of the West Wind.

"May the wind god protect you. Although I may not be qualified to say this compared to the acting leader, I still want to thank you all for your efforts on behalf of Mond. Fortunately, it was resolved peacefully. If we really mobilized our military forces to fight the dragon, it is hard to imagine how it would end."
