Chapter 870 The War Is Over
In the Qinghu area, in the left camp of the Qinghu water demon army, relying on several rivers transformed by great supernatural powers, various low-level water demons are driving schools of fish or semi-demon beasts and transporting them from Qinghu.
These transported things are the food for the water demon army. Now that the war has stopped, the water demon army has no corpses of companions and enemies to eat. They can only drive fish schools from Qinghu Lake and regard these fish schools and half-monster beasts as water demons. Food for the army.
Not eating for three to five days has little effect on the water demon, but if you don't eat for a long time, the situation is completely different. Without enough food, human soldiers will blow up the camp, and the same goes for the water demon army.
In the river, a huge green-backed carp is busy working. It has to drive away the fish and prevent them from escaping. Occasionally, it has to stop the half-monsters from stealing food.
This big green-backed carp looks like one of thousands of aquariums, and there is nothing surprising about it. However, in the belly of this big green-backed carp, the place where the demon elixir is stored has been hollowed out. There was a young man sitting cross-legged in the demon pill's place. This young man was filled with black energy, and he was clearly the Black Dragon Taoist.
It turns out that the Black Dragon Taoist did not escape and hide at all. The most dangerous place is the safest place. It hid directly in the belly of the big green-backed carp, and acted under the eyes of the powerful sea monster every day.
But now the Black Dragon Taoist's face is very ugly. Its expression is changing, sometimes ferocious, sometimes crazy, sometimes full of hatred, sometimes calm.
Taoist Black Dragon seems to be possessed by a maniac, or has a split personality. Each personality is scrambling to take control of this body.
"Damn it, what do you want?"
Taoist Black Dragon suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and asked with an unusually ferocious expression. After escaping for so many days, not only did it show no signs of recovery, it even looked weak, and its condition was even worse.
Moreover, in the belly of this big carp, there is obviously only Taoist Black Dragon, but it seems to be talking to other people. This scene looks extremely weird.
"What do you want? I just want to get back what belongs to me. This body was originally mine. Your soul was not damaged before, but I was constantly being destroyed and wasted. Hahahaha. Fortunately, your soul has been severely damaged now. He gave me the opportunity, and I have to thank Li Mu this time. If it weren't for him, I, Cui Xuanlong, would have completely disappeared!"
Another voice that was completely different from Taoist Heilong sounded. This voice was clearly that of Cui Xuanlong.
Cui Xuanlong seems to be back from the dead.
"You think so beautifully. This body is mine, and you can never take it back!" Taoist Black Dragon said ferociously.
"Haha, if I can't take charge of my body, you can't even imagine it!"
The expression on Cui Xuanlong's face became ferocious again, black energy emerged from his body, and his whole body seemed to be experiencing great pain. After a few seconds, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and his breath became even more depressed.
"Damn idiot, if you continue to be so crazy, this body will be finished. Once this body is finished, we will all die!"
Taoist Black Dragon shouted in panic.
"If you die, die. Anyway, I've already died once!" Cui Xuanlong said with a ferocious smile. He seemed to have really gone crazy.
Taoist Heilong knows very well that the current Cui Xuanlong is actually not the real Cui Xuanlong. Cui Xuanlong has died long ago. What is born from Cui Xuanlong's body is actually a bit of Cui Xuanlong's residual soul obsession, which is what affected Taoist Heilong before. thing.
However, before, the Black Dragon Taoist Yuan Shen was tyrannical and unhurt. This obsession is being quickly dissipated. When Li Mu dies and the revenge is avenged, this obsession will completely disappear.
However, Taoist Black Dragon had all the calculations, but he never expected that its soul would be severely damaged, causing Cui Xuanlong's remnant soul to resurrect and be difficult to suppress.
Now he begins to compete with the Black Dragon Taoist for control of this body. Because the two consciousnesses compete for control of the body, it puts a great burden on this body, making it somewhat unbearable.
"Don't you want to take revenge?" Taoist Black Dragon said quickly, "If you collapse this body, we will all die. Who can help you take revenge?"
"If you don't want to die, then get out of my body. This body is mine, not your Black Dragon Taoist's!" Cui Xuanlong was silent for a while and said coldly.
"You also know that my soul has been severely damaged now. Leaving this body rashly will only lead to death. In this way, you give me some time to let my soul recover a little. As long as my soul recovers a little, I can parasitize others." Now that I’m gone, I’ll leave right away, what do you think?”
Taoist Black Dragon rolled his eyes and said immediately.
But at this moment, Cui Xuanlong's body trembled again, bursts of severe pain appeared crazily, and the body spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood again.
"Damn thing, what do you want?"
Taoist Black Dragon was completely panicked. He was afraid that Cui Xuanlong was really not afraid of death. Cui Xuanlong was not afraid of death, but he, he finally escaped and was reborn, and now he doesn't want to die at all.
"I want my body, Taoist Black Dragon. Don't think that I don't know your plot. You just want to use your body to nourish your soul. After your soul recovers a little, you will suppress me again. Unfortunately, I am not interested in you." My understanding is deeper than your understanding of me. Now that your soul is injured, this is my only chance. Even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, I will take back my body!"
Cui Xuanlong said ferociously.
"Damn you!" Heilongdao yelled angrily. It didn't pay attention to Cui Xuanlong's obsession before, so it didn't know much about Cui Xuanlong. It couldn't be sure whether Cui Xuanlong really had the courage to fight to the death. .
Crazy pain was felt in the body again, and the body was about to collapse.
"I can't leave this body. To leave me is to die, so I absolutely cannot agree to this condition. If you want to die, then die together, unless you can come up with a condition that I can accept!"
Taoist Black Dragon said crazily.
"Well, you and I will sign the symbiosis spell and control this body together. You and I will live and die together. I'm not afraid that your soul will suppress me again after you become stronger!"
Cui Xuanlong said suddenly.
"Damn it, you've had this idea for a long time, right?" Taoist Black Dragon cursed and shouted sternly.
"Haha, so what if I just made this idea? Will you agree or not?"
Cui Xuanlong said with a sneer.
Taoist Black Dragon's face was extremely ugly. If he really signed the symbiosis spell, Taoist Black Dragon would no longer be able to suppress the remaining soul that was obsessed with destroying Cui Xuanlong.
"Do you agree or not? You signed the symbiosis spell. When the time comes and you catch Li Mu, you can completely seize Li Mu and parasitize him. We will not owe each other anything by then. This is my biggest concession. If you don't Agree, then everyone will die together!"
Cui Xuanlong said crazily.
Taoist Heilong saw that Cui Xuanlong was going crazy again. If this body was tortured a few more times, there would be truly irreversible injuries, and they would all be finished by then.
"Okay, I promise you, sign the symbiosis spell!"
Taoist Black Dragon gritted his teeth and spit out a black compass. After the compass appeared, it returned to Cui Xuanlong's body, and then two dim rays of light were thrown into the disc at the same time.
The disk began to rotate, as if black and white colors were mixed together, and then the disk exploded, and the symbiosis spell was completed.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that I, Cui Xuanlong, would be able to come back from the dead one day. Li Mu, you are my biggest enemy in this life. I will definitely kill you, cut you into pieces, and crush your bones into ashes!"
A crazy voice filled with endless hatred came out. This voice was full of hatred and resentment.
Taoist Black Dragon has been unable to find a trace for a long time. After half a month, the water demon army finally could no longer delay. No fighting meant no food. The food driven from Qinghu Fortress was a drop in the bucket and not enough to use.
The water demon army was facing material pressure and the threat of the Black Dragon Taoist, so they could only start negotiations with Shancheng.
After all, the real reasons are in front of us, and neither side dares to break up. Once the war continues and gives the Black Dragon Taoist a chance to completely grow and recover, then the boundless catastrophe in West China will occur. The mountain city cannot bear this result. The Qinghu Water Demon He also cannot bear this result.
Therefore, the two parties negotiated very quickly, and neither party spoke as loudly as the lion.
According to the agreement, the Qinghu water demon army withdrew and returned to Qinghu. Among the four free cities on the side of Qinghu Fortress in front of Qinghu, the water demon occupied one of them, and the remaining three were still under human control. However, the freedom in other directions of Qinghu The city and everything within a hundred miles from Qinghu will be owned by Qinghu from now on.
As for things like compensation, nothing useful has been discussed on this point. The agreement reached in the final contract is at best a preliminary agreement, and the follow-up will probably require several rounds of negotiations.
After this agreement was reached, the water monsters receded like the tide, and thousands of water monsters all returned to Qinghu. However, the aftermath of this war will not disappear so quickly. Even if there is no more war in the future, I am afraid that this place wants to return to its previous state. It will take another year or two for the city to become prosperous.
On the surface, the water demon army retreated, the temporary headquarters began to be cancelled, and the martial law level of Qinghu Fortress was lowered. But this is only for ordinary people. For the water demons, the top management of the mountain city and Qinghu Fortress, the escaped Black Dragon Taoist is still It is a serious problem, and all parties are trying to track it down.
The temporary headquarters is preparing to organize a grand sacrificial ceremony. Soldiers from the Mountain City Alliance military, academic students, mercenary troops, and all the ashes of the dead in battle have been collected if they can be collected. Some of these ashes were eventually collected. Medals were made, and everyone who participated in the war could get a medal.
This medal is both an honor and a responsibility, and every survivor should remember this battle.
The start of this war was unexpected, and the end was incomprehensible to ordinary people. But this is the life of all ordinary people now. They can't even control their own destiny, let alone the direction of a war.
A few days later, at the temporary headquarters, a grand sacrificial ceremony began. Except for some who had returned to the mountain city, everyone else attended the sacrificial ceremony.
At the ceremony, everyone wore white flowers, received medals, and observed a moment of silence for the deceased.
Mo Jiutian personally presided over the sacrificial meeting. The atmosphere of the sacrificial meeting was solemn, as if the war happened yesterday.
After the sacrifice, the temporary headquarters was announced to be disbanded, and mercenaries, academic students, and all students who came because of the emergency summons could return to the mountain city.
As for the soldiers of the Mountain City Alliance military, some of them will change defenses and go to Qinghu Fortress, and some will return to the mountain city. These will not be under the jurisdiction of the temporary headquarters.
In this war, the total number of people killed by the Mountain City Alliance military, academic students, and mercenaries has exceeded 1.2 million, with 1.2 million killed, more than 800,000 injured, and nearly 60,000 Missing, this battle brought serious damage to the mountain city.
It has brought heavy pressure and burden to the mountain fortress, but fortunately, after the war is over, everything will slowly recover. No matter the joys and sorrows, time can always wash away everything.
After the war, the rewards had to be fulfilled. Li Mu had achieved a shocking feat. His merit points could basically be exchanged for three things, the first of which was the Barrier-Breaking Pill.
This elixir is a seventh-grade great elixir. Different from the golden elixir, the main function of this elixir is to increase the success rate when breaking through the realm. In other words, if Li Mu takes this elixir and attacks the Martial Saint realm, his success rate will increase. At 10% to 20%, this elixir is extremely valuable to the powerful sage.
In the black market, although its price is not as good as the seventh-grade golden elixir, it is also extremely expensive.
The second thing is that Li Mu can exchange for a martial arts that surpasses the spiritual level and reaches the king level. King level martial arts are very rare in the mountain city. There are not even many high-grade spiritual level martial arts, and even fewer king level martial arts.
Because they are rare, there are not many choices, and there are no boxing techniques among the few king-level martial arts. However, some king-level martial arts are better than none. Lin Chen chose a first-grade king-level martial arts from the few king-level martial arts. , wood-burning knife technique.
Although Li Mu is not good at swordsmanship, it is not much more difficult to practice than boxing.
The third thing is a request. Li Mu can make a request to the Mountain City Alliance military. The other two candidates who meet this condition are to help them overcome the disaster.
In the future, when you break through the Great Saint Realm or enter the Martial Saint Realm or God Realm during the Tribulation Period, you will need to transcend the Tribulation. This Tribulation can be helped by external forces. The two people chose to ask the experts from the Mountain City Alliance military to help. Dharma protector.
However, Li Mu did not choose this. He chose to take Nangong Mingyue in when he entered the ninth realm and help Nangong Mingyue find opportunities.
At this point, the exchange of merit points has basically ended. Li Mu has a king-level martial arts Ranmu Sword technique in his hand, as well as a great elixir, the barrier-breaking elixir. These things are not that suitable for Li Mu, but they can indeed be used for him. Provide some help.
After selecting the items, the war that lasted for several months came to a temporary end for Li Mu.
