101: Chapter 101 Cannon Fodder is Useless

"Mom, you will help me, won't you?" Ye Xi suddenly spoke.

Su Mu's voice was gentle yet firm: "Of course. You will always be my Xi Xi. Irreplaceable."

"Mm. Mom, I need your help tomorrow."

Su Mu raised an eyebrow slightly: "What do you need me to do?"

"Tomorrow, I'm going to go after something. Something I've always wanted." Determination showed in Ye Xi's eyes.

"Just being by my side will be enough. With you there, I'll feel more at ease."

Su Mu asked: "Xi Xi, what is it that you want?"

Ye Xi didn't answer directly, only looking at her mother:

"Mom, you'll know when the time comes. Just like when I was little, and you protected me while teaching me how to walk."

...

The next day.

Qi Yun took Bai Yu, Sophia, Lin Wan, and Lin Le, and headed to the Orderly Tribe.

Although he had been humiliated yesterday, for the sake of the Tribe, he was willing to sacrifice his body.

At this moment, nearly half of the people in the Tribe were no longer common classes, but the other half still needed to work hard.

This time, he brought along quite a bit of the Tribe's surplus food—some compressed biscuits that no one wanted to eat, some half-eaten ham, and so on.

In the 01 Tribe, this was just food that no one wanted, but in the Orderly Alliance, these things were treasures.

When they arrived, Yu Jie saw the food and asked in surprise: "Qi Yun, what is this?"

"food for you."

Yu Jie quickly thanked him and sent people to distribute the food, while whispering, "Leave that half a ham sausage for me."

Then, Yu Jie continued: "Yesterday, Wang Chong dragged his injured body here."

Qi Yun's gaze narrowed slightly.

For Wang Chong to have run into Li and still manage to escape here with his life was already a stroke of luck.

"Take me to see him."

Yu Jie quickly led the way to a low, dilapidated thatched hut.

Compared to the once arrogant leader of the Prosperous Alliance, the Wang Chong before him was like a different person.

He had lost his left arm, and the stump was being constantly repaired by his battle suit.

At this moment, his complexion was ashen, his eyes hollow and filled with despair and the aura of death.

Hearing footsteps, Wang Chong's clouded eyes turned, and upon seeing Qi Yun, they only flickered slightly.

Qi Yun looked at him calmly and got straight to the point: "That woman, is she powerful?"

Wang Chong's body trembled: "You know it's a woman? You know her identity?"

"Is she very powerful?" Qi Yun didn't explain and continued to press him.

"Powerful?" A despairing smile forced its way onto Wang Chong's face.

"Using the word 'powerful' for her is an insult. She is a monster. She is something that shouldn't even exist."

"What kind of abilities does she have?" Qi Yun continued to ask, his tone steady.

Wang Chong suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Yun, his eyes filled with absurdity and pity:

"Abilities? Hahaha, you're still thinking about that? What does it matter if you know? Can you defeat her? Don't dream!"

"You have no idea what you're facing! That's not a human! That's a god! That's a devil!"

"I can win." Qi Yun's voice was low.

Wang Chong acted as if he had heard a joke and laughed maniacally:

"Win? Haha... cough, cough... Win? Fine! I'll tell you! She can control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning."

"I couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes! Win? What are you going to win with?! Huh?!"

He roared at the top of his lungs.

Being able to control wind, rain, and lightning was indeed the same as when he had first seen Li.

"Anything else?" Qi Yun remained unmoved and continued to press.

"I don't know anything else." Wang Chong's eyes were unfocused.

Just then, a panicked voice rang out from outside.

"The... the woman with purple eyes has appeared! Outside the gate!"

Qi Yun's pupils constricted, and he bolted out of the thatched hut!

Everyone rushed to the top of the stockade wall at top speed.

The combat personnel of the Orderly Alliance stood in formation at the gate, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Qi Yun followed their gaze.

A figure was slowly approaching with a leisurely, stroll-like gait.

A simple white dress outlined her stunning, slender curves.

And what was most breathtaking was her face.

It was an indescribable, breathtaking beauty. Li.

She stopped about a hundred meters from the stockade wall, her gaze landing on Qi Yun, who had just climbed up.

Then, the corners of her perfect lips curved upward: "ant, why are you here?"

Qi Yun took a deep breath: "To see you, of course. A day without seeing you feels like three autumns."

He said this boldly, perhaps even a bit flirtatiously.

"Then let me see just how happy you can make me."

"But there are a few too many people here now." She parted her red lips slightly, her voice still flat.

Before she had even finished speaking, "Whoosh!" The morning wind turned violent without warning!

The sky darkened at a visible rate.

"Woooo!" The wind shrieked!

In front of Li, a visible, rotating current of air manifested out of thin air!

In the blink of an eye, it formed a terrifying tornado over ten meters in diameter!

It moved slowly, yet unstoppably, toward the Orderly Alliance stockade!

"Holy crap, is this for real?!"

"Grab onto something!"

"The gate is going to collapse!"

Qi Yun's heart sank. Starting off with an area-of-effect natural disaster attack?

"Bai Yu!" he shouted urgently.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu immediately stepped forward, her white hair whipping in the gale:

"Giant cyclone. Primary damage mechanisms: 1. Centrifugal force and low air pressure generated by high-speed rotation, which lifts lighter objects off the ground and causes fall damage. 2. High-speed impacts from debris like gravel and wood chips carried by the wind, causing cutting and piercing damage."

"Gravity Control."

The Orderly Alliance soldiers, who had been swaying and barely able to stand in the gale, suddenly felt their bodies grow heavy, as if their feet had taken root!

The gravel and debris that had been swept up also fell, unable to form a lethal barrage any longer.

Li smiled lightly. Seeing that the gale was ineffective, she dispelled it, her face still wearing a confident smile.

Qi Yun immediately gave the order: "Orderly Alliance, First Team, attack as planned!"

This was the moment for the cannon fodder!

Numerous boulders rolled down from the hillside.

Li just raised her right hand and waved it casually; all the boulders turned into dust.

At the same time, she lightly tapped her index finger toward the sky.

"Pitter-patter..." Rain suddenly began to fall from the previously roaring sky.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded. The falling raindrops suspended in mid-air and then rapidly converged!

They transformed into humanoids similar in size to humans! Thousands of water-men charged toward the Orderly Alliance soldiers in front of the stockade wall!

The numbers were instantly reversed!

"What... what the hell is this?!"

Many people in front of the gate were so scared their legs went weak; they couldn't even hold their weapons steady.

"Sophia!" Qi Yun shouted.

A cold light flashed in Sophia's eyes. An extreme, frigid chill spread rapidly toward the front!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!..." A continuous sound of freezing rang out! The hundreds of water-men charging at the front immediately turned into ice statues.

"Interesting. Ice is a very pure power." Li's gaze moved away from Qi Yun and landed on Sophia.

"Second Team, charge as planned!"

Li watched the Orderly Alliance combat personnel rushing toward her and waved her hand casually.

Those dozens of soldiers slammed violently into the stockade wall and the ground! They completely lost their ability to fight.

With a casual wave of her hand, she had defeated dozens of people.

The morale of the Orderly Alliance plummeted to rock bottom. As for the rest, no matter how Yu Jie roared or threatened, no one dared to take another step forward.

As expected, in a battle of this level, cannon fodder isn't very useful, Qi Yun thought. It looks like I'll have to step up myself.
