Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"Yes, then the summer won't be so hot."

Is this what you care about?...

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Go west from here and you will reach the Free City-State [Mondstadt]. How about coming with me?"

Jiang Ming invited them.

"Um, okay."

Ying also nodded.

The three of them then headed towards the Whispering Forest.

But just as they were about to enter the forest, a large shadow suddenly appeared on the ground. At the same time, a dragon roar was heard from the sky. They looked up at the sky and found a huge dragon flying over their heads and entering the Whispering Forest.

"Then...what is that?!"

Paimon looked terrified.

"Go and see."

Jiang Ming led them into the forest, and soon they saw the giant dragon and a... um... boy, but what surprised Paimon even more was that they seemed to be talking about something.

"Don't worry, I'm back."

He seemed to be soothing the dragon.

“Wow, are they communicating?”

Paimon muttered while hiding behind a tree. Although his voice was very low, he was still discovered by the dragon.

The giant dragon that was about to be pacified suddenly became irritable, roared forward, and then flew away quickly.

The man also hurriedly chased after him.

"That was a close call. I was almost blown away! Fortunately, Jiang Ming, you caught me in time. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"There are actually dragons in this world..."

Ying couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At this time, Jiang Ming seemed to have discovered something and walked towards the big rock opposite.

"Jiang Ming, what's wrong with you? What is that?"

Ying and Paimeng came to Jiang Ming and found that Jiang Ming was holding a red crystal block that looked a bit like a water droplet.

"Be careful! It gives me a...bad feeling."

"I've never seen a stone like this before. I have no idea what it is, but it looks very dangerous."

"I think this should be a relatively important item. Paimon, how about you keep it for me? I'll treat you to a delicious meal later."

Jiang Ming handed the stone to Paimeng.

"okay."

After thinking it over, Paimon accepted the stone and put it in his (oversized) backpack.

Although I think this thing is very dangerous, but since it appeared in the place where the dragon had been before, it means that it is indeed very important. Besides, if not for anything else, I must accept it just for the delicious food!

"Just keep going."

"Ok!"

......................................................

After walking for a while, they finally walked out of the forest, but at this time a graceful girl appeared and blocked their way.

"May the wind god protect you, stranger! I am the scout knight of the Knights of Favonius, Amber. You are not citizens of Mondstadt, are you? Then please state your identities!"

In order to speed up the plot, Jiang Ming decided to tell the story himself.

"Hello, we are travelers. My name is Jiang Ming, from Liyue, and this is Ying and Paimon."

"I see. There have been giant dragons around Mondstadt recently. It would be best if you could get into the city as soon as possible. This place is not far from Mondstadt, so I, as a knight, will escort you there."

Amber patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me."

[Ding! Issue the mission, enter Mondstadt]

[Reward: Elemental Sensing (Elemental Vision)]

The three of them headed to Mondstadt under the leadership of Amber.

"Hey, what are you doing in Mond?"

As a Knight of Favonius, Amber felt that she needed to inquire about the purpose of the outsiders.

“I’m just traveling now.”

Jiang Ming gave Amber a harmless smile.

Paimon explained on behalf of Ying.

"Ying got separated from her brother during a very, very long journey. I am her travel companion, and I am accompanying her in her search for her brother."

"Oh, go find your family..."

Amber seemed to recall something sad, but she quickly cheered up.

"By the way! Once I finish the task at hand, I can help you post notices in the city."

Is that notice really useful?

"Speaking of which, what is the mission?"

"It's very simple. You will understand it when you see it later."

The four of them arrived at a camp.

"That's... a Hilichul?!"

"Yes! Don't let them run away!"

Amber immediately bent his bow and drew his arrow, and the arrow, with flames appearing on it, shot towards the Hilliard.

"Wind Blade!"

The strong wind quickly spread the flames on the hillbillies, instantly burning the two hillbillies to ashes.

"Jiang Ming, behind!"

Paimon reminded them from the side that a Hillichul man took advantage of their inattention and went behind Jiang Ming.

Just as the Hillilch man raised the wooden stick in his hand to hit Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming quickly dodged sideways and grabbed the Hillilch man's wrist with his left hand and broke it directly.

"ya——!"

The hillock man let go of the stick in his hand in pain, and Jiang Ming caught the stick with his right hand and hit the hillock man hard on the back of his head. Then the hillock man fell to the ground silently and lost consciousness, and the stick was broken.

Jiang Ming stretched out his index finger and middle finger again, condensed two ice swords in the air, and pierced through two Hillilians who were standing on a high platform not far away and were about to fire crossbows.

"Wow! Jiang Ming, you are so awesome!"

Paimon flew to Jiang Ming.

"what?"

Jiang Ming was confused and didn't understand why Paimeng suddenly wanted to praise him.

"You killed the Hillilchur in just two moves, unlike me, who only has the strength of half a wild boar."

"..."

"hehe."

Jiang Ming chuckled twice and put his hand on Paimeng's little head.

"Paimon, you don't have to fight. I and everyone else will protect you."

"Woo, you spoil me so much!"

Paimon's eyes suddenly filled with tears when he heard this.

Hill people...Kerria...

To put it bluntly, they are now a group of savages, moving slowly and without any fighting skills. It is of course easy to deal with them, but I don't know if I can defeat the Hilliard King in terms of physique now.

[With the Dragon King Holy Body, it is naturally easy]

......All right.

"Speaking of..."

Paimon holds his head with his right hand, looking like he is thinking seriously.

"Why are the Hillichuls here? They normally wouldn't set up camp so close to a city, right?"

"Yes, they should have been wandering in the wilderness, but recently wind dragons have appeared frequently, orchards have been destroyed, and trade routes have also been affected. We, the Knights of Favonius, have no choice but to conduct regular inspections. Now that the mission has been completed, let's hurry to Mondstadt."

Shortly after.

Jiang Ming and three others stood at the huge city gate.

"Ahem, please allow me to formally introduce you to the pastoral city of wind and dandelions, the city of freedom. Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonius, welcome to Mondstadt!"

[Ding! The host has completed the task and the reward has been issued]

Jiang Ming looked at Ying and Paimeng.

"Then let's say goodbye here, both of you. Don't worry, I won't forget the delicious food I promised you."

After saying that, Jiang Ming walked into Mond City without looking back.

Great, finally I don't have to go through the plot, I have to have some fun. No... I don't have Mora!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming walked towards Catherine helplessly.

Chapter 55 The black robe who dared not show his face.

"Towards the stars and the abyss, Mr. Jiang Ming, this is your adventure certificate, please keep it."

Catherine handed a booklet to Jiang Ming.

Yes, because he doesn’t have any Mora on him, the only thing Jiang Ming can think of at the moment is to become an adventurer and take on commissions in exchange for rewards.

"System, is the main body's injury still not healed?"

Even if he has the financial strength, he can't do this. This is a pure capital enterprise. If it weren't for the current Fengmolong crisis, there would be so many people who need help. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to afford a few days' worth of food.

【No】

An emotionless voice sounded in my mind.

"Oh, I want to go back so much. I miss Mei so much. Do you eat well at home? Do you miss me when I'm not around?"

【...】

[Ding! Task released: Please resolve the Wind Dragon crisis]

[Reward: The Dragon King's Holy Body has made some progress, and the main body's injuries have recovered quickly]

"Hehe, system, I know you understand me."

Jiang Ming looked up at the gloomy sky, and the powerful perception given to him by the Dragon Emperor's Holy Body told him that the Wind Demon Dragon was coming!

Roar! ! !

A loud and angry dragon roar broke the lifeless atmosphere in the city. The violent wind swept everything in the city, and the citizens began to head to a safe place under the command of the Knights.

The Traveler is already controlling the Wings of Wind to confront the Wind Dragon.

Jiang Ming, who originally wanted to quietly watch the traveler repel the Wind Dragon, suddenly saw a familiar face - Noel, the most reliable maid of the Knights of Favonius.

She was trying her best to evacuate the citizens and help them out of danger, but such a kind girl did not pay attention to her own safety - a huge rock was falling directly in Noel's direction, but she did not notice it at all.

"Tsk, thunder explosion!"

Jiang Ming condensed a thunder ball in his hand and threw it at the boulder.

"boom!!!"

The boulder shattered instantly, and Jiang Ming flashed to Noelle's side and picked her up in a princess hug, avoiding the rubble caused by the explosion.
