Boom!
Amidst a massive explosion, everything fell silent.
On the rubble, permeated with the thick scent of gunpowder, a fair and tender hand broke through the heavy obstacles and emerged, followed by a head, and then the entire body.
An explosion of this magnitude could not kill Bai Ti, but it did inflict some damage. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and her body was covered in various-sized wounds.
Looking at her disheveled state and recalling the smug face of the Demon Little Dragon after his scheme succeeded, Bai Ti felt like she was about to explode with anger.
However, now was not the time to dwell on such things. The most important thing was to rescue her teammates as quickly as possible.
Bai Ti's body, which was quite resilient, was injured in the explosion. Needless to say, Yong Huo and Lei Mu, whose physical strength was inferior to hers, would have suffered even more.
As for the special forces team that had accompanied them, they had been almost wiped out by the corpse demons before the explosion. Moreover, with their mortal physiques, they stood no chance in such an explosion; it was a certain death.
As Bai Ti peeled away the steel bars and concrete piece by piece, Yong Huo and Lei Mu were successively pulled from the rubble.
Compared to Bai Ti, the two of them were more severely injured. Fortunately, their injuries were only superficial, and their bones were not significantly damaged.
"What should we do now?"
Standing on the ruins, the three fell into a state of confusion after Lei Mu posed the question.
Bai Qi had provided them with so much support, sending people and resources. Yet, after all this time, they had not achieved any success. Instead, they had been toyed with by the Demon Little Dragon repeatedly, and this time, they had almost been annihilated.
Yong Huo sighed helplessly and said with unconcealment, "Let's go back first and report today's events to Father."
Bai Ti wanted to try a bit longer, to pursue the Demon Little Dragon with their combined strength. However, as soon as she spoke, Yong Huo retorted, leaving her speechless.
"Don't forget what Father instructed us. Judging by the time, it's also time to report. We can't avoid it."
"But... Alright, I'll listen to you. We'll go back and report to Father first."
All three had unconcealed reluctance in their eyes, but they did not know that on a tall building not far away, the Master of Mimicry was observing everything with a telescope.
Or rather, the Master of Mimicry had been keeping an eye on them since before Bai Ti and the other two rashly fell into the Demon Little Dragon's trap.
Because of Bai Qi's orders, the Master of Mimicry's task was to intervene and save Bai Ti at the critical final moment. Other than that, he was not allowed to act arbitrarily.
Based on the Master of Mimicry's prior assessment of the battle, he concluded that with the Demon Little Dragon's arrangements, Bai Ti might get slightly injured but would not be truly killed.
However, to be safe, the Master of Mimicry had secretly intervened in the battle at the end.
Otherwise, would you believe that the Demon Little Dragon's physical strength would cause him to have a stomachache at a crucial moment? A pain so severe that he couldn't fight?
The cause of all this was the symbiotic organism fragment that Bai Qi had left within the Demon Little Dragon's body.
Although this symbiotic fragment had been separated from the main body, it was still controlled by the mother body, which was Gluttony. Currently, Gluttony had been given to the Master of Mimicry by Bai Qi. The Master of Mimicry had lived up to Bai Qi's expectations, conquering Gluttony with his powerful will and turning it into a sharp blade in his hand.
To prevent any accidents, the Master of Mimicry had activated the small symbiotic fragment within the Demon Little Dragon's body through Gluttony at the critical moment, causing the Demon Little Dragon unbearable stomach pain and forcing him to abandon the battle and flee.
After everything was said, Bai Qi fell into thought as he listened to the Master of Mimicry's report.
Bai Ti's direct confrontation with the Demon Little Dragon this time exposed many issues.
Impulsive, lacking patience, insufficient observation, lack of big-picture thinking, and even acting on impulse, easily making irrational decisions when provoked.
These shortcomings would not be considered a big deal in ordinary people, as no one is perfect, and having flaws is normal.
But Bai Ti was different. In the future, Bai Ti would represent the entire main world. Even the slightest mistake would bring immense impact and disaster to the main world. Bai Ti had to be perfect, or at least infinitely close to perfect. Sudanhua.com
Bai Qi had to admit that his education of Bai Ti in the past had also been significantly lacking.
As a new father, Bai Qi did not have much experience and took things for granted.
In the past, Bai Qi believed that as long as Bai Ti had sufficient strength and a sufficiently ruthless heart, that would suffice. Even if external ancient gods invaded, Bai Ti could completely destroy them with her powerful strength and cold heart.
Now, it seemed that was not the case. Powerful strength was undoubtedly one of the important factors in protecting the main world, but it was by no means everything. Powerful strength and a cold heart could easily lead a person down an extreme path. By then, it was likely that before any external threat arrived, internal chaos would erupt first.
The shortcomings exposed by Bai Ti in this battle must be corrected, otherwise, these loopholes could be exploited by future enemies.
After all, humans, as a species, never lacked a desire to stir up trouble. If one could not be as foolproof as possible, it was very likely that they would be tricked and killed by their own people before they could resist the external ancient gods.
However, if you asked Bai Qi to cause trouble, improve his strength, or trick others, Bai Qi had no problem. But if you asked Bai Qi how to properly educate a young girl, especially one who was destined to become a savior, Bai Qi was completely clueless.
After much thought, Bai Qi tossed the problem to the Master of Mimicry before him.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your subordinate is just a warrior. I can fight on the battlefield and assassinate enemies, but educating a young girl is truly..."
Seeing the Master of Mimicry's troubled expression, Bai Qi waved his hand impatiently and said, "You're completely useless. Fine, fine, you can leave quickly. I'll think about it myself."
Hearing Bai Qi say this, the Master of Mimicry, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly retreated. However, as he was about to disappear back into the darkness, the Master of Mimicry suddenly remembered Bai Qi's question earlier about why he didn't leave through the main entrance. His retreating steps immediately stopped. He then bowed to Bai Qi and decisively turned to leave through the main entrance.
After the Master of Mimicry left, Bai Qi remained alone in his palace. Ideas appeared in his mind one after another, only to be rejected by Bai Qi one by one.
There was no way around it; Bai Ti's future responsibilities were too immense. Everything related to her had to be handled with extreme caution, let alone solving the problems Bai Ti exposed during the mission.
"Yes, this should work."
