"Don’t be polite with , feel free to use it," Zheng Yichen said as he bled himself. His anticipated attacks did not co, simplifying matters quite a bit, and he even had ti to do sothing extra, such as bleeding the three girls.
It was truly enough for each person to be more than satisfied.
"..." Watching the raging Demon Flower burn was like seeing a mountain afla. What would that be like?
They saw it now. Nearby Aberrant creatures also fell into a state of stupor, prompting Liu Hongzhao to recall the words of the Snake God.
Aberrant creatures can recover their normal state... Is that so?
"Don’t just stand there, get on with your practice," Zheng Yichen’s voice pulled the three girls back from their thoughts.
Liu Hongzhao couldn’t help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth as she looked at the blood in front of her. She had obtained the Supre Demon Blood, but the blood Zheng Yichen gave her was still of great benefit, and its quality was even higher than before. It wasn’t the life source it contained, but the quality of the blood itself.
It didn’t seem like the blood of a Supre Demon, yet its quality was very close.
This caused Lin Yaoyao and Qi Xiangyun to struggle sowhat; in just half a day’s ti, they hadn’t even digested a fist-sized globule of blood.
Zheng Yichen wasn’t in much of a hurry. With Liu Hongzhao obtaining the Supre Demon Blood, practicing with his blood wouldn’t be difficult, but it was different for Qi Xiangyun and Lin Yaoyao.
"What’s going on?" knight-errants who had beco Dusk rcenaries in the Dusk Territory looked at the notice board, where missions related to Demon Flowers, Supre Demons, and so Alien Phenonon creatures were marked off.
"Aha~ It seems our Proxy Agent has resolved the root of the problem," a passing Dusk rcenary glanced at the notice board: "But even if the root problem is solved, this world will not return to its forr state. How it ends up will still depend on you natives."
The cheery Dusk rcenary added to the knight-errant: "For resources and such, you can accept commissions from Dusk to go to other places. If you can earn rit points, you can expand your storage space, and then you would be able to bring back quite a lot of supplies."
He could bring back quite a lot of supplies, but those brought back could only be used by a few people. Dusk could indeed resell so items, but no matter how much they sold, it was impossible to support an entire world.
"If you’re lucky, and you go to worlds with forces that can purify quickly, you can attempt to acquire that purifying power while on your missions."
"Thank you!"
The Dusk rcenary waved his hand: "You’ll know all this later; there’s no point in staying. See ya~"
Although this mission didn’t yield rit points or anything similar, he gathered plenty of other stuff, like martial arts rare manuals, materials from exotic beasts, etc. While these weren’t as good as rit points, they could still be exchanged for sufficient life resources in his world, allowing for better living conditions.
He could even share with people he knew, akin to one person’s enlightennt elevating others.
The guaranteed objectives were t, and there was nothing to be unsatisfied about.
"Wait, what about the Alien Phenonon creature on here? Aren’t we going to deal with it?" the knight-errant asked as he looked at the remaining commission tasks on the notice board.
"Those? No need to worry about them anymore," the Dusk rcenary patiently explained: "The Proxy Agent is still in this world, and the Boundary Breakers aren’t fools. They won’t leave those Alien Phenonon creatures unchecked, and they will take them away when they leave."
"About those Alien Phenonon creatures, many are pets of so bigshots from the worlds of the Boundary Breakers."
"..." This statent made the knight-errant clench his fists; Alien Phenonon creatures as soone’s pets? His world was not a playground for others’ amusent!
"Look, you see." The Dusk rcenary pointed to the notice board, where another piece of information had disappeared—this ti it was about the Alien Phenonon creatures and two Boundary Breakers.
As the knight-errant looked, he noticed that the number of missions related to combating Alien Phenonon and Supre Demon creatures decreased by one, prompting him to ask, "What about the Supre Demons then?"
"Supre Demons? Maybe the Proxy Agent casually took care of them... Hmm, it’s probably not that exaggerated; otherwise, it might have been an inside job," the experienced Dusk rcenary stroked his chin, puzzled as well; in this world, Supre Demons were top-tier. They hadn’t even considered taking on a Supre Demon when they were ensuring the minimum objectives, failing the original missions.
On one hand, they were difficult to find; on the other, even if found, they might not be beatable—the top-tier combatants weren’t pushovers; it was unlikely to have mutually assured destruction.
The Dusk rcenary left, leaving the contemplative knight-errant behind. The knight-errant’s admiration for the Proxy Agent had grown significantly as he looked out the window; the endlessly drifting red fluff seed to fade, the dim sky also appearing to resu normalcy, and he even saw sunlight piercing through the heavy clouds...
But when he saw the wandering figures in the distance, his expression darkened again—the victims in the world had not returned to normal despite the breakthrough in the clouds.
Under the Demon Flower, the raging greenish flas burned for nearly two days, clearing the sky above the Demon Flower completely. The clouds had been dispersed by the torch-like flas on that very day, and now that the fire had reached this extent, Zheng Yichen could no longer control it—he could only watch it burn from afar.
Since the fire was in the wilderness, even if it doubled in size, it wouldn’t cause much of a disaster... And even if it did, there were no normal creatures left nearby to be affected.
The sky had cleared up due to the soaring flas, but the dark red hue hadn’t returned to normal... That was far from the truth. Instead of the dark red surroundings, everything was bathed in an eerie green glow.
Zheng Yichen had spent the past two days under this green light.
It wasn’t until today that the Demon Flower, which had collapsed under its own weight, was completely consud by the fire, leaving only a layer of residual green flas covering the ground.
Looking at the sea of fire, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but take out his fishing rod and reach for a catch. Through the channel of death attached to the fishing rod, he fished a zombie out of the World of Death within this world.
"...What the hell, this is already the World of Death, shouldn’t they be spiritual bodies? Why do all of them have physical bodies?" He kicked the roaring zombie that rushed at him back into the sea of fire and fell into deep thought while watching the green flas that showed no signs of extinguishing.
He had thought that once the Demon Flower was burned away, the flas would slowly extinguish, but now it seed that the fire showed no signs of dying out.
"Could it be that the roots of the Demon Flower have not been completely burned away?" Qi Xiangyun asked, sounding uncertain.
The nearby red filants and red mist had vanished along with the sky-high flas, and they no longer needed any extra protection.
The sky, which had been gloomy, was now clearing up around this spot. In the distance, so dark red could still be seen, but if you looked again after a while, you’d notice that it had faded even more. The entire world was recovering its normal state.
However, the monsters affected by the Demon Flower had not returned to normal. They just clustered together without causing any Alien Phenona. Moreover, the red filants that belonged to the Demon Flower in their bodies had withered. These Aberrant creatures, with the death of the Demon Flower, had lost its infectious nature.
But the mutations that had taken place in their bodies were irreversible.
The monsters remained monsters, just not as dangerous as before. They wouldn’t cause a person to encounter a group of Aberrant creatures and call it quits. By the way, how many normal people are still left in this world?
After waiting here for another day, Zheng Yichen also took the opportunity to check up on Qi Xiangyun and Lin Yaoyao. Although he was not a Supre Demon, he had once drawn the blood of a Supre Demon. His physique had been specially altered, not quite like a normal person’s—perhaps he was half a Supre Demon?
But the two girls weren’t like Liu Hongzhao. They didn’t cultivate martial arts to the extent that a mark appeared on their foreheads. They were still fine, with the only change being the initially prominent lines of blood beneath their lower eyelids fading.
"I’ve tried to harness the power from Brother Chang Qing’s blood before."
"Power from my blood?" Zheng Yichen imdiately thought of the beings he had ’devoured’ before: "That’s possible? If it’s beneficial, you two should try it as well. I’ll go over there and check on the situation."
He knew too little about the Blood Asura martial art to give directions, so it was better to let them exchange insights on their own.
After all, the world had not returned to normal with the demise of the Demon Flower. Perhaps the future developnt of this world would turn into an Apocalypse Martial Arts World?
It would be filled with knight-errants who could swing swords to release Sword Qi, and Taoist mages casting spells as they road this Apocalyptic Land ravaged by the Demon Flower, occasionally aiding the struggling remnants of mankind by exterminating monsters and dealing with those mutated creatures.
After the Demon Flower was incinerated, the vast number of Aberrant creatures once gathered here had now aimlessly dispersed. It was possible that so of these Aberrant creatures would undergo new changes in the future, becoming the true Enchanter race of this world, much like the zombies in the previous world... cough, cough.
Who knows what the future holds? After this, it wouldn’t have much to do with him anymore.
After one more day, the flas on the ground had considerably diminished, and the base of the Demon Flower had been burned clean, creating a huge hollow in the ground. The edges of this hollow were still blazing with the tumultuous Hellfire, which, upon a glance inside, appeared as if one were facing the Gate of Hell itself.
"There isn’t natural gas beneath this, is there?" Zheng Yichen muttered as he waved his long spear to disperse so of the flas, which soon closed back in. Darn, it seed that these flas genuinely wouldn’t die out.
Zheng Yichen guessed that the Hellfire, using the Demon Flower as fuel, had burned too fiercely. Coupled with so of the Demon Flower’s special characteristics, the ignited Hellfire had stayed in this place for a long ti. There might be sothing within the great hollow left by the Demon Flower.
Let the people of this world explore that in the future. Zheng Yichen had no desire to venture down. What if it really did lead to so sort of World of Death, opening up a new map?
Opening a new map was of no use to him.
He now longed to return to Dusk Cathedral to recuperate. His stature hadn’t grown much in three days, but his hair had grown past his waist...
