Luo Ling and her group trekked through the mountains and discovered that the underground explosion had affected the topography of the mountains. Landslides had occurred in several places, blocking the road leading to the village.
Fortunately, none of the people in the group were weak. They jumped or flew over the collapsed rocks.
"I didn't expect the two 'Fruits of Destruction' to be so powerful. The underground palace below here is probably collapsed." Ji Yijun said as he leaped below.
"Brother..." Ola followed behind him. She had originally held out a glimmer of hope that her brother could avoid the explosion at the last moment. However, now that she saw that even the mountains on the surface were destroyed, she knew that Adam had absolutely no chance of survival.
"Not only that, the internal structure of the mountain has also collapsed. From where I can see, a big hole has collapsed on a mountain peak." Luo Ling and Morey were flying in the air. With Milda and Glade improving her physique, the backlash she suffered from releasing magic was significantly reduced.
Ji Yijun let out a long sigh and said, "I hope Lao Chen and the others really left the ruins like Yasen said."
"I believe they won't wait there foolishly. I am a little worried about whether the village will be affected."
As they passed over the ridge, they were surprised to see a dwarven village in the valley.
The village, which was once like a paradise, was now full of collapsed and cracked ground, with holes everywhere. Thick smoke was billowing out of many larger holes. It should be the burning caused by the "Fruit of Destruction". The small river in the middle of the village was split by a crack, and the water flowed into the ground, leaving the back half of the river dry and the riverbed exposed.
Many houses in the village collapsed, and most of the remaining ones had huge cracks, and some were still on fire. The fruit trees in the orchard were also on fire, and the fire was spreading to more and more trees. Several fences in the animal pens collapsed, and the frightened cattle and sheep were running around in the village.
"Oh my God, how big a bomb did Yasen explode underground?" said Ji Yijun.
"Two," Morey corrected. "Maybe the explosion of the two together caused some unexpected reaction, resulting in an effect where one plus one was greater than two."
"Let's go down and see if there are any casualties." Luo Ling flew down first.
When they arrived at the village, they saw Chen Hansheng and Sinclair, leading the entire village, rushing into the village from the distant mountain road.
The dwarves saw their homes in such a state, and under Sinclair's command, they hurriedly began to put out the fire and drive the livestock away. But there was only so much they could do. They were basically powerless to deal with the collapsed houses, cracks in the ground, and smoking holes.
Some dwarves burst into tears as they saw their homes reduced to a pair of rubble.
The atmosphere of sadness quickly spread, and many dwarves who were doing disaster relief had tears in their eyes.
"You go and help with the disaster relief. I want to talk to Sinclair." Luo Ling said to Ji Yijun and Morey.
The two quickly met up with other partners and joined the disaster relief team. Ji Yijun, Chen Hansheng, Kalanda and Farrell used their fighting spirit to help move rubble, Morey used the silver thread in his hand to help rescue property, and Elena treated the dwarves injured in the disaster relief.
Aura hesitated for a long time, struggling internally. On the one hand, it was a dwarf who killed her brother, causing her to lose her only relative in the world. On the other hand, her family really felt sorry for these dwarves. Seeing the tormented soul in the golem and the countless withered bones in the dungeon gave her a huge shock.
Her brother had brought this upon himself to some extent. She still remembered the calmness and a hint of guilt in his eyes at the last moment.
"Hey, beauty! Stop standing there stupidly, come and help. There's nothing to worry about with this kind of thing, just do it if you want to, or you'll regret it!" Ji Yijun shouted from a distance while holding a big rock.
Her steps moved involuntarily, slowly at first, then faster and faster, running towards Ji Yijun, and finally joining the disaster relief team.
"Mr. Luo Ling, I don't see Village Chief Yasen." Sinclair came to Luo Ling and said with a heavy expression.
Luo Ling looked into the other person's eyes and said in the most solemn tone: "Mr. Sinclair, unfortunately, Village Chief Yasen, Emperor Rick who woke up from the underground palace, and Adam who wanted to inherit the method of making golems all died. However, his sacrifice was not in vain. He completely destroyed all the equipment below that modulated the dwarf souls. No one can make that kind of evil golem anymore. There are no more evil spirits that need to be liberated."
Sinclair sighed and said, "I knew it, I knew it. In fact, I had this premonition a long time ago. The village chief told me yesterday that he suddenly understood the mission of his father coming here. Now I understand that his father brought us here not only to settle here, but more importantly to destroy all those things related to the dwarf golem. He didn't complete it, and today Village Chief Yasen helped him do it."
"Well, it was a very difficult battle. We wouldn't have been able to do it without the sacrifice of Village Chief Yasin."
"The village has become like this, is it the result of their battle down there?"
"Yes, we didn't expect the weapon the emperor finally took out would be so powerful. It will directly affect the surface of the earth. We were very worried when we came here just now. Are there any casualties among the dwarves?"
"No, fortunately Mr. Chen Hansheng reminded us after he came out. He said no one knew what changes would happen down there, or what monsters would rush out of the ruins, so he suggested that I take the whole village to hide at the mountain road leading into the village. Fortunately, I did as he said, otherwise, I don't know how many people in the village would die. You have done so much for us, and I must admit that I misunderstood humans before." Sinclair said sadly, "However, Village Chief Yasen wanted to eliminate the evil spirits and wanted all dwarves to completely get rid of the danger of having their souls taken away, but in the end he completely destroyed the village. I really don't know whether I should thank him or hate him."
"What are you going to do? Most of the houses, orchards and farmlands in the village are gone. Most of the villagers' belongings have not been taken out in advance. This winter, you lack food, houses and clothes. How are you going to survive?"
"We will not surrender. We will not surrender to those damn emperors of the Black Dragon Empire, and we will not surrender to the difficulties before us." Sinclair clenched his fists as he said this, as if he wanted to crush all the difficulties in his hands.
Luo Ling looked at the sad and resolute expression on Sinclair's face and said seriously, "Actually, I do have a suggestion."
