"Destroy those weapons? Why do they want to destroy those weapons? How do you know that? "
In the city of Dust Crocodiles, three creatures were looking at the situation on the street below from the top of a building.
A large number of three-legged pillars were transporting all sorts of weapons and ammunition to the plaza. The transportation operation was coming to an end.
When the last group of three-legged pillars dragged a few missiles to the plaza, the transportation seemed to have been completed. No other three-legged pillars brought more things.
Had they already moved all the weapons in the underground weapons warehouse? It did look like there were a lot of weapons. All sorts of weapons filled the entire plaza.
The Scholar and Mechanical Dust Crocodile looked at the plaza with surprise and confusion. The three-legged pillars were just like Shi Jin said. They seemed to want to destroy the weapons.
"They've activated all the weapons with timer functions," Shi Jin said. That was what the Primordial realm said, "There might be … a very great explosion later. We need to leave."
According to what Shi Jin said, the Scholar paid close attention. It did see many three-legged pillars adjusting some missiles.
These missiles were special. When the three-legged pillars poked the shell a few times, a three-dimensional image would pop up. Then, the three-legged pillars would adjust on the image.
"It's right …" Mechanical Dust Crocodile said. "Those despicable things are indeed activating the missiles' timer function. They want to blow up all the weapons here!"
"Blow them up? Why? "The Scholar felt that this was too … wasteful. It was also very strange.
"I don't know!" Mechanical Dust Crocodile said angrily. "They're a bunch of crazy creatures. They always do strange things. We need to stop them now!"
"I don't think that's a good idea." The Scholar looked down. The three-legged pillars on the street were clearly not something they could deal with. Moreover, the weapons could explode at any time. No matter how it looked at it, it was better to run far away first.
"If you want to leave, then leave." Mechanical Dust Crocodile stood at the edge of the building and looked down. "There are so many of them gathered here. This is a very good opportunity …"
"Do you want to …" The Scholar had already guessed what Mechanical Dust Crocodile was thinking.
"Yes. For our race, I'm willing to give up everything," Mechanical Dust Crocodile said. "I can jump down and activate a missile as fast as I can. Then, I'll blow up the entire pile of weapons. That way, most of them will die."
The Scholar did not say anything, but it was very surprised that Mechanical Dust Crocodile was so … loyal to the Dust Crocodile Kingdom.
Because the Scholar had learned about the various incidents between Mechanical Dust Crocodile and Dust Crocodile … Crocodile.
. but Mechanical Dust Crocodile's behavior was very special...
"Hurry up and leave. The further the better. I don't want to implicate you …" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile stepped on the edge and looked down at the street. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile spread its arms.
"Wait." Just as the Scholar was about to stop it, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile leaped from the top of the building and jumped down.
The Scholar noticed that flames were emerging from the back of the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. It seemed to be some kind of propulsion device that allowed the Mechanical Dust Crocodile to fly in the air and head towards the square.
However, this flight was very … conspicuous. The three-legged pillar on the street immediately noticed it.
However, they did not attack at the moment. This allowed Mechanical Dust Crocodile to quickly approach the square and land on the weapons piled up there.
Mechanical Dust Crocodile did not hesitate at all. It quickly jumped to the nearest missile and opened the operation screen to adjust it.
Beep!
At this moment, the three-legged pillar's attack arrived. A ray of light hit Mechanical Dust Crocodile's head, leaving a black mark on it.
However, Mechanical Dust Crocodile did not stop. It continued to adjust the information that popped up on the screen.
"… It might really succeed." On the building, the Scholar and Shi Jing looked at the situation in the square. The Scholar originally thought that Mechanical Dust Crocodile would be caught immediately, so it did not plan to run. Now, it might really have to escape.
With that thought, the Scholar quickly ran to the edge of the building. It glanced at Shi Jing and said, "Aren't you running?"
"Wait! What are you doing? "The cultivator whose hands and feet were still stuck shouted," Will there be any danger here? If you want to run, you have to take me with you! Don't leave me behind! "
"There's no need to run," Shi Jing said. "It won't succeed."
"Is that so?" The Scholar turned its head and saw that Mechanical Dust Crocodile was caught by a large group of three-legged pillars. These three-legged pillars shot out metal ropes from a hole in their heads, binding it tightly.
Although it struggled with all its might, it was still dragged out of the square by the three-legged pillars and thrown to the ground.
"So it still won't succeed?" Although that was what the Scholar said, it felt that Mechanical Dust Crocodile being able to fly to the square was already … unbelievable.
If those missiles were activated in a simpler way, they might have already exploded.
But now … The Scholar did not know what to do. Should it save it? But that did not seem very likely …
"Do you want to save it?" At this moment, Shi Jing suddenly said to the Scholar, "Do you think it's worth saving?"
Before the Scholar could answer, Shi Jing continued, "It's worth saving. No, it should be said that the explosion of this weapon is worth … stopping. To me, it's worth it."
"You want to stop the explosion?" The Scholar asked, "Why?"
"I think they know a lot. Those … three-legged pillars," Shi Jing said. "Anyway, I've decided to give it a try. Then, hand over that thing of yours."
Shi Jing said the last sentence to the cultivation creature. The cultivation creature was surprised. It said, "What are you talking about?"
"You control those skeletons," Shi Jing said, "I want to use them to attack the three-legged pillars."
The cultivation creature said in surprise, "You've already destroyed my army. What army do I have? I …"
"I think you still have one." Shi Jing floated before the cultivation creature and said, "Hurry up … hand it over, or I'll have to cut you open."
"I … I understand." The cultivation creature spat out a … small thing from its mouth unwillingly.
The Scholar looked at it in surprise. It looked like … a small screw. It was only around a centimeter long. Was the cultivation creature using this to control the skeletons?
"Very good." Shi Jing picked up the 'screw' and put it in its mouth. Although the Scholar and the cultivation creature found this action very … disgusting, Shi Jing did not mind at all.
It floated to the edge of the roof and did not do anything special. However, around ten seconds later, the Scholar saw … abnormalities in the surrounding buildings.
A large number of sand skeletons appeared.
They crawled out from the windows of the surrounding buildings. As if they had been summoned, they crawled down the walls of the buildings in an orderly and dense manner.
The same thing happened on the streets in the distance. Many figures even larger than sand skeletons walked over from the streets in the distance.
They were all … rotten flesh and bones.
The Scholar was very surprised. She did not expect there to be so many of them. They seemed to have all been hidden in the buildings, but now, they had all appeared.
Moreover, they all attacked the three-legged pillars on the streets.
The first to attack were the sand skeletons. They jumped down from the buildings and lunged into the three-legged pillars while shrieking. Then … they were immediately pierced by the three-legged pillars' light. They fell to the ground, motionless.
Although these things looked scary, it was also a fact that they were very weak. Countless sand skeletons jumped down from the buildings, and when they fell into the group of three-legged pillars, they were quickly pierced through or crushed. Even if some managed to jump onto the three-legged pillars, they couldn't break through the armor of the three-legged pillars.
However, they had at least attracted the three-legged pillars' attention. The rotten flesh skeletons that came from afar made full use of this. They crashed into the three-legged pillars with their huge bodies. Due to their weight, they were able to knock away a few three-legged pillars.
However, it was hard to say whether they could hurt their targets.
Their only advantage was that they outnumbered the three-legged pillars. There were so many sand skeletons hidden in every building that they had far exceeded the number of residents inside. Clearly, they had only hidden in these buildings after the solidification.
Although they did not know why, they might have been ordered by Cong Du. However, Shi Jing happened to be using them now.
The Scholar found it rather strange. There were so many skeletons here, but the cultivators did not order them to save her.
The large number of skeletons completely attracted the attention of the three-legged pillars. They constantly attacked the skeletons that appeared. The Scholar noticed that … the three-legged pillars on the plaza had all dispersed to deal with the skeletons that appeared in the surroundings. The Primordial Realm seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity.
"You can watch from here, but you can also join us."
With that, the Primordial Realm drifted over from the rooftop. Very soon, she arrived at the plaza.
The Scholar did not go over. Instead, she continued to watch curiously. She wanted to know just how the Primordial Realm would stop these things from exploding.
It was not very likely that such a large pile of weapons could be moved away all at once, unless they could teleport.
The Scholar noticed that the Primordial Realm did not touch the weapons. Instead, it flew over to the Mechanical Dust Crocodile.
The three-legged pillar did not kill the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. Instead, it tossed it to the side and ignored it. Now, the Primordial Realm had released it and said something to it.
Afterwards, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile quickly climbed up the pile of weapons. It found a missile and opened up the control screen.
The missiles did not seem to be able to be controlled from a distance. They needed to be adjusted up close. No matter what, the three-legged pillar did not notice them this time. They all left.
