The scale of the explosion was terrifying, with black smoke billowing straight into the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth.
Flames surged outwards, and after several minutes, they gradually dissipated.
As the flames receded, the demon seeds were instantly wiped out, blown to smithereens with no remains. Simultaneously, two figures emerged.
One tall, one short. One big, one small.
After a brief glance, Bai Ye murmured, "Demon seed bloodline and robots?"
The shorter figure was about 1.5 meters tall, with fiery orange-red hair, beast ears, and a cat-like tail. It was clearly a hybrid of a demon seed and a human.
As for the taller figure, it stood nearly three meters tall. It wasn't human but a robot, its body crafted from metal and jade. Or, in the parlance of the Heroic Realm, the term "robot" might not be entirely accurate. The precise term would be "automaton."
"These aren't the Chosen Ones, are they?" Bai Ye mused, then his eyes lit up. "Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain?"
Bai Ye had only met Kai and Yue in Mulan's elite squad. However, the elite squad comprised more than just three members.
Bai Ye hadn't met the others because they were all on missions outside the Great Wall. However, Yue had described their appearances to Bai Ye.
One was an automaton that had existed since the age of gods, dedicated to the construction of the Great Wall. Though it couldn't speak and its offensive capabilities weren't formidable, it served as the most steadfast shield for the Great Wall Guard. There were also rumors that it was Yue's cooking stove, and when Yue cooked on it, the food's deliciousness increased by 100%.
The other was a descendant who had lived and grown up by the Great Wall, a son of the Great Wall who ultimately returned to it and joined the Great Wall Guard as a mechanist. However, unlike other mechanists who tinkered with automatons, that short demon seed hybrid only enjoyed tinkering with bombs. Because of its cat-like ears and tail, the other members of the elite squad nicknamed it Bomb Cat.
Bai Ye stroked his chin. Mulan and Father Kai were nowhere to be found, and Yue was also missing. But finding Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain seemed acceptable.
As Bai Ye pondered, he watched the distant explosion's flames reappear. He finally made a decision, spread his hands, and the Fire God Gatling melted into sludge, entering Bai Ye's body. Then, Bai Ye ran along the parapet.
"Hey, hey, where are you going?"
"Buddy, don't leave!"
"Yeah, we're earning merit!"
...
As Bai Ye ran, the surrounding Chosen Ones shouted.
This person was a powerhouse. Bai Ye would sweep with the Fire God Gatling, and others would provide supplementary output. Since merit was awarded to the one who landed the final blow on a demon seed, everyone attacking alongside Bai Ye could reap the rewards. Those demon seeds not killed by Bai Ye's Fire God Gatling naturally became others' merit.
Most importantly...
Bai Ye's standing and shooting speed was too fast. With Bai Ye around, the demon seeds died quickly.
The faster the demon seeds died, the more demon seeds followed, and the faster and more merit was accumulated.
Therefore, no one wanted Bai Ye to leave. Some even stealthily pushed through the crowd, intending to follow Bai Ye wherever he went.
Then...
This group of people was suddenly stunned.
Bai Ye ran along the parapet for over ten meters, and then...
He jumped down!
The surrounding crowd was greatly alarmed. Many leaned over the parapet to look down, and then they saw Bai Ye plummeting rapidly. Just as he was about to hit the ground...
Bai Ye's clothes puffed up like a balloon, transforming into a giant sphere. After hitting the ground, it bounced repeatedly, dissipating the force of the fall.
Soon, the Steel Slime reverted to its black Order of the Black Knights uniform.
Bai Ye stretched his limbs, marveling at how useful the Steel Slime truly was.
At the same time...
The surrounding demon seeds went mad, charging towards Bai Ye's direction, intending to tear him to shreds.
Bai Ye casually extended a hand, and the famous sword Bloodthirst materialized. Then...
A swift stroke of the blade!
With a *poof* and a flash of sword energy, a large amount of blood splattered out.
The demon seed that leaped up was actually cut in half with a single strike by Bai Ye.
After the strike, Bai Ye quickly formed a hand seal and beckoned forward with a finger.
"Yin-Yang Talisman!" Bai Ye flicked his finger upwards and said, "Form array!"
In the next instant, amidst the demon seed horde, a large patch of red light appeared. A Yin-Yang formation pattern materialized on the ground, and a beam of light shot into the sky.
Miserable screams echoed continuously.
The demon seeds within the beam struggled, their bodies constantly being annihilated.
To be honest, although the Yin-Yang Talisman was of green quality, its power was quite decent, comparable to the attack power of a blue quality item.
However, its drawbacks were obvious: it was a fixed-point, directional area attack, and the area coverage wasn't very large, a circular area with a radius of three meters. This was only effective against densely packed demon seeds, where they had no room to dodge. In a normal one-on-one battle, if it could hit, it would likely be because the opponent was not very intelligent.
But why bother with all that? As long as it was useful now, that was enough!
Clearing a space, Bai Ye began to move forward, heading directly towards Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain.
But it wasn't that easy.
The demon seeds ahead were dense, and the lowest-level demon seeds, lacking intelligence, relied purely on beastly instincts, charging forward madly to tear everything apart.
However, because of this characteristic, the demon seeds were fearless. The space Bai Ye had just cleared was quickly refilled by the demon seeds behind him.
"Goodra!" Seeing the demon seeds surge towards him again, Bai Ye decisively threw out a Beast Ball and said, "Meteor Shower!"
"Yaa~"
The Beast Ball emitted a white glow, and then Goodra appeared, spreading its arms.
An invisible force rippled outwards.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The ground continuously emitted loud noises, cracking and splitting. Then, fragments of rock shot up into the sky, hovering for a moment before crashing back down to the ground.
The surrounding air suddenly became scorching hot. The falling rocks began to burn, igniting into flames, transforming into massive meteors that plummeted towards the ground.
Then...
A deafening roar shook the four directions. Each falling meteor smashed a deep pit into the ground.
Fierce flames raged.
Layers of fluctuations appeared around, and terrifying shockwaves pushed outwards, like a typhoon passing through, blowing away all the surrounding demon seeds.
