Chapter 157 New Wancheng and the Master of Jiyin
Luoshui main city.
"Fuck!"
"Too difficult!"
"We were wiped out before we even saw the boss!"
"There are so many level 3 elite monsters, the difficulty is beyond the scope!"
"Hahaha, exciting, I like this kind of challenging adventure!"
"The Three Kingdoms is originally a game of suffering and even death, it's normal to die a few times!"
"..."
Top player representatives such as Ye Limeng, Gu Zhou, Hei Tong Rui Ge, Xian Yu Tu Ci, Xiao Lingdang, Chi Mei Wang Liang gathered together, and they began to exchange and carefully study the information they have obtained so far.
Black Eyed Rui said: "This time, almost all of our three armies and other second-level players were dispatched, but they were quickly wiped out. It seems that the difficulty of developing the Wancheng map is much greater than imagined!"
"Yes, although I guessed it would not be so easy, I didn't expect us to fail so quickly."
The Ghostly Ghost asked: "Brother Rui, do you have any good suggestions?"
Black Eyed Rui shook his head and said: "Now we know too little about the new map. My only suggestion is to unite to develop the new map together, obtain more valuable intelligence, and then do it. The next step of division of labor. "Crazy King:" I agree! Our level and strength are not strong enough! "Since this is the way, don't waste time!" "It's not short to go back and forth, just try it a few more times!" "..." In the Lord's Castle. This round of death has brought 160,000 to 700,000 essence income. Today, the revenue of the essence of the bottom can definitely reach more than two million. If you die another round, it can reach at least 3.5 million income! The income will definitely be higher if you die more times!
Xiao Ba said: "The morale of the Scourge Army has not dropped, but has become even stronger!"
Hang Yu smiled and said: "It's normal. As long as you always give positive feedback, as long as there are gains from failure and death, let alone one or two deaths, even if you die a thousand or ten thousand times, these people will never get tired of it and even enjoy it."
This group of players has been playing Weird Three Kingdoms for a long time.
Death and failure are commonplace in the Suffering Game.
Now players are full of interest in the monsters and situations in the Wancheng area!
For them, this is a mysterious, unknown, exciting challenge and adventure. One or two deaths are not enough to produce a sense of frustration, not to mention that high-level elite monsters such as the Thousand Eyes Centipede can explode very generous rewards.
Xiao Ba said: "The master is expanding the Canglong Guard troops, and can guide players to die more times to reserve more spare energy!"
Hang Yu was a little speechless.
Xiao Ba is really a living devil.
Hang Yu will recruit 2,000 units in one go the day after tomorrow, including 1,800 Scourge soldiers, and another 200 absolutely loyal, controllable, and disciplined Cang Long Guard soldiers.
The size of the Cang Long Guard will reach 270 people.
The size of the Scourge will reach 3,730 people.
Expanding the recruitment of Cang Long Guard soldiers is necessary for territory defense and maintaining daily order.
After all, with the increasing number of territories and towns, and the growing number of players, the defense and stability of the territory require more and more manpower, and the existing 70 Cang Long Guards + Zhou Cang are far from enough.
In fact, 270 Cang Long Guards are still not enough.
Hang Yu plans to select an armed force from the indigenous affiliated forces and the villagers and militias from all over the country to cultivate a garrison corps outside the territory, and even select some particularly loyal and qualified ones from them to become Cang Long Guards.
Finally, the ratio of Cang Long Guard to Scourge will be 1:9 or 2:8.
The reason why Xiao Ba suggested Hang Yu to create more deaths for players is that after the expansion of the Cang Long Guard, it will take a lot of energy to cultivate it, which can be obtained by harvesting players.
"It is important to build the Cang Long Guard, but everything has its priorities."
Hang Yu said calmly: "The situation in Wancheng is very different from that in Woniushan. Although the Lord War was triggered in Woniushan, the opponent is only a Dragon Lizard Lord with four or five years of experience, and the threat posed is limited."
"The abyss power of Woniushan was sealed and suppressed by Guan Yu and Zhou Cang."
"So there is no direct threat from the abyss power during the development process."
"Wancheng is different this time!"
Xiao Ba is just an intelligent assistant.
It has not received lord training.
It does not know enough about the dangers of the abyss world.
Hang Yu feels that the Abyss forces in Wancheng are not only very powerful, but also have a high probability of not being sealed!
If we cannot collect intelligence as soon as possible to prepare for a rainy day, and at the same time strengthen ourselves and the overall strength of the army, we may be seriously threatened by the Abyss or local forces at any time.
Under this situation, it is not rational to harvest the Scourge Army blindly to build the Blue Dragon Guard. After all, although the Blue Dragon Guard has absolute controllability, it is far inferior to the Scourge Army in terms of cost performance and is incomparable.
You can harvest players.
But before the situation stabilizes.
Hang Yu will give back most of the essence harvested from the players through tasks or activities. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.
Of course, the Scourge Army cannot be trained too strong.
Otherwise, the leeks will be too hard to cut.
When Hang Yu feels that the strength of the Scourge Army is sufficient to cope with the needs of territory development and enemy defense, he will slow down the investment in the Scourge Army and invest a large amount of excess essence in the cultivation of the Blue Dragon Guard and the cultivation of important NPCs.
In short.
As a game planner.
What Hang Yu has to do is to firmly control the rhythm.
Players cannot be too weak to defeat anything, nor can they be too strong to make the game lose the necessary frustration and challenge.
Hang Yu noticed.
The troops composed of the three major Scourge Corps.
At this moment, they have come to the wilderness under the leadership of Ye Limeng, and they are heading directly to the Centipede Canyon full of centipede holes.
Although the number of players has increased a lot this time, it is estimated that there is still no chance of winning, which is purely a suicide act.
Each Thousand-Eyed Centipede is equivalent to a Level 14 Abyss Commander. There are at least nearly a hundred monsters of this strength in the Centipede Canyon, which has greatly exceeded the ability of the Scourge Army to cope with it.
What's more, there is a Level 3 Commander!
Unless all the top players are upgraded to Level 3 or above.
Otherwise, there is no chance of winning against this level of Abyss Commander.
Hang Yu did not intervene for the time being.
Continue to pay close attention behind the scenes.
He was also very interested in the third-level commander in the Centipede Valley, not only because the third-level wild monster commander was too rare and extremely valuable, but also because this monster was very likely to be a secondary pollution source.
In other words.
If it could be hunted successfully.
Hang Yu could devour a third-level secondary source of evil, and at least obtain no less than one third-level talent point, and one third-level talent point could be split into ten second-level talent points.
This was enough to light up the remaining lord talent.
Thus, the conditions for Hang Yu to advance to the third-level lord were met.
This would not only enable Hang Yu's personal strength to advance by leaps and bounds, but also broaden the level limit of the entire territory, allowing Zhou Cang, Zhang San, Li Si and others to break through to the third level.
By then, the strength and foundation of the entire territory would have a qualitative breakthrough, and it would also be able to ensure resistance to the threat from Wancheng.
However.
Just as Hang Yu was paying attention to Ye Limeng's team.
There was another player team in Baihu Mountain.
This discovery immediately attracted Hang Yu's attention. He immediately opened two lord visions at the same time, one to continue to follow the activities of the three major corps in the Wancheng area, and the other to track the situation on the White Tiger Mountain side.
…………
There are many smart people among these players.
Jubei Wangyue is undoubtedly one of them.
After all, Jubei Wangyue has the strong support of national institutions, so it has analyzed the connection between the abyss dreams.
According to the judgment of the Special Investigation Bureau, there is an abyss fog gate in the east, west, south and north, which connects the abyss dream fragments one by one.
Tens of thousands or even millions of nightmare fragments form a super huge grid, and each map is connected to four maps near it. As long as the distance is 1, the maps are interconnected.
So.
In theory.
You can enter Wancheng from the main city of Luoshui.
Then you can definitely enter from the White Tiger Mountain map.
The White Tiger Mountain area is the territory seized by the Scourge Army after defeating the Dragon Lizard Lord. Although some players and NPCs have migrated here, it is generally a relatively unpopular place.
Now new players are generally in the Luoshui area, and more advanced players mostly swipe monsters in Woniu Mountain. As for the White Tiger Mountain map, the terrain environment, monster distribution, and monster intelligence are not perfect.
Unknown means risk.
Except for a few players who like to pursue excitement and explore new things, most people prefer to swipe monsters and upgrade in the Luoshui map.
Jubei Wangyue did not join the team of Heitong Ruige or Ye Limeng, but teleported to Baihu City with his own team, and then teleported from Baihu City to a place called Luling Township.
Luling Township has the southernmost blessing point of Baihu Mountain.
After Jubei Wangyue arrived in Luling Township, they soon saw from a distance that a huge white fog door appeared in the red dream fog wall. The fog door means that it can pass.
"Great!"
"This discovery is very important!"
Jiubei Wangyue was very excited when he looked at the fog gate from afar in the ruins of Luling Township.
This means that the Scourge Army has found a second way to Wancheng. If Ye Limeng and Hei Tong Ruige are blocked in the west of Wancheng, they can enter from the north of Wancheng.
The 8th-level Ranger Wind Warrior asked: "Should we go and take a look?"
The 10th-level Warlock said: "Nonsense, since we are here, of course we have to go and take a look. Maybe there will be a major discovery."
The 8th-level Monk Dawn Knight: "I heard that the exploration of the Wancheng map by the three major corps was not smooth. If we can complete the Wancheng mission before the three major corps, we can definitely brag about it in front of others!"
The 10th-level Warrior Blind Swordsman: "Agree!"
The Jiubei Wangyue team has a total of nine people. Although these people are not well-known at present, they are potential stocks carefully selected and focused on by the Special Investigation Bureau. They are also very loyal to Jiubei Wangyue.
In the future, they will surely become one of the backbones of the Immortal Dragon Soul.
Jiubei Wangyue: "Let's go!"
The nine people rode on spirit horses to leave the ruins of Luling Township, galloped across the wilderness at a very fast speed, and headed towards the Abyss Fog Gate in the south. It took about two hours to arrive near the Abyss Fog Gate.
Although they encountered some troubles along the way, the monsters in the White Tiger Mountain map were basically not higher than level 9. With Jiubei Wangyue, a level 12 master, there would be no big problem as long as they were not surrounded by monsters.
Because the distance to the Fog Gate was less than 20 miles.
Jiubei Wangyue ordered to slow down and approach carefully.
"Boss!" The wind-like warrior came back from the hillside and reported: "There are a large number of undead people in the wilderness ahead!"
"Undead people in the abyss?"
Jibei Wangyue was a little puzzled: "This kind of humanoid monster usually only appears near ancient towns or various ruins and relics, but there is no such place within dozens of miles around here, how can there be undead people."
The wind-like warrior said: "These undead people are not the same as those we have seen before. Boss, you'd better come and see it yourself!"
Jibei Wangyue then climbed to the commanding heights.
He understood why the wind-like warrior said so.
The Abyss Undead are the most common humanoid monsters in the Abyss Nightmare. They are low-level monsters transformed by ordinary civilians after being devoured by the Abyss Nightmare.
Although these civilians have gained endless lifespans and immortality, they have already lost their minds in the nightmare reincarnation, and have become walking corpses with only violence and chaos.
There are a large number of Undead near Heting Township, Luoshui Execution Ground, and many town ruins in the Woniushan area. The levels and strengths of Undead in different areas are different, but it is rare to see Undead above level 10.
However.
At this moment.
[Abyss Undead], 18th level ordinary unit... Introduction: Once an ordinary villager in Beilin Township, he was deformed and turned into an irrational humanoid monster because he fell into the Abyss Nightmare.
"Fuck! Am I seeing it right! 18th level Undead?!"
He rubbed his eyes while peeing three thousand feet in the wind.
He wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.
The appearance of these undead people is also different from those seen before.
Each undead person is about ten feet tall, and their bodies have obvious animal characteristics. Not only do they grow a lot of strong hair from their bodies, but they also grow sharp claws and teeth, like a group of hybrid beasts of apes and canines.
At a glance.
There are quite a lot of them!
The blind swordsman said: "What's the matter with these undead people?"
Liubei Wangyue smiled and said: "We are lucky. These undead people should not be monsters in the White Tiger Mountain area."
Dawn Knight: "Boss, what do you mean... are they all from the Wancheng area?"
Liubei Wangyue nodded: "There are no towns or ruins nearby, and the level is completely inconsistent with the abyss creatures in the White Tiger Mountain area. They are very likely to have run out of the abyss fog gate."
Speaking of this.
Paused.
He continued, "Of course this is not the point. The most important point is that most abyss monsters have a regular and ranged activity, and they usually do not leave this range unless guided by external forces."
"So if I am not mistaken, not far from the abyss fog gate from this direction, you can find a town or ruins in the Wancheng area, and these undead people come from this place!"
The other eight players were excited.
"There is a town or ruins."
"There is a high probability that the fortune stone will appear."
"Doesn't this mean that you can light up the blessing point?!"
Among the exploration tasks issued by the territory, there is a task to light up a blessing point in the Wancheng area.
This task not only has a very generous reward, but the most important thing is that obtaining a stronghold is very important to the Scourge, which is enough to enhance their honor and reputation!
"There are a lot of undead people!"
"Let's clear them out first!"
"Such a high-level undead, I guess the experience will not be too low!"
Jubei Wangyue led his men to start hunting. As the most common monsters, most of the undead were ordinary monsters. Not only were they not strong and far less dangerous than elite monsters of the same level, but they also had no wisdom and were very stiff in their movements.
The undead refreshed quickly.
After killing a batch, they would refresh again in two to three days.
This made them the first choice for many players to upgrade and kill monsters.
Although the level of the undead they encountered now was high, it was expected that their strength was not that strong. With Jubei Wangyue, a second-level boss with a strong foundation, there would be no big problem as long as they were not surrounded and beaten.
A few minutes later.
Under the wind blade of three thousand feet.
The first undead who was besieged ran out of blood and fell down.
These beast-like undead were very fast, but because they had no powerful skills, the threat they posed was relatively limited. The whole battle process was very smooth. The wind-like warriors hurried up to pick up the spoils.
[You picked up the loot, Spirit +1600, Magic Stone Fragment +2000, Worn Undead Necklace +1! ]
"Very easy!"
"A lot of experience!"
"There are so many Undead, and no one is fighting for them. This wave is so cool!"
"..."
The Undead's drops are very shabby. Generally, they only drop one piece of gray quality and almost exhausted gray equipment. This kind of equipment has no use value and can only be recycled as waste materials.
But each Undead will drop 1600 Spirit!
This is already very close to the level 10 elite monster.
The Yellow Turban Demon Soldier is a level 10 elite monster, but the difficulty and risk of dealing with it is far greater than that of the Undead, and the number is relatively rare and the refresh speed is also very slow.
And at this moment.
Just in the wilderness in front of us.
At least one or two hundred Abyss Undead are wandering.
This is simply a holy place for players around level 10 to upgrade. It allows players at this stage to safely kill monsters and accumulate experience to improve various skills and pay 20,000 spirits for advancement.
[You picked up the loot, spirit +1600, magic stone fragments +2000...]
[You picked up the loot, spirit +1600, magic stone fragments +2000...]
[You picked up the loot, spirit +1600, magic stone fragments +2000...]
[...]
It only took two hours.
I killed more than 30 undead people.
In this process, I got a total of 48,000 spirits.
Nine people can get about 5,300 spirits per person on average.
In order to improve the overall strength of his subordinates, Jiubei Wangyue chose to distribute them directly.
Dawn Knight and Wind Warrior were upgraded to level 9 directly, and they were only a step away from level 10, while Blind Swordsman and Wind Peeing Three Thousand Feet took a big step towards accumulating enough energy for upgrading.
"Work harder!"
"Level up first!"
"It won't be too late to explore behind the fog gate later!"
Jibei Wangyue realized that this was a very rare opportunity to upgrade. He believed that as long as he could kill all the nearby undead, he could easily upgrade from level 12 to level 13.
Others could quickly reach level 2.
Those who failed to break through immediately were not far away.
"Hahaha, it's so cool. There are so many high-level undead. No one is fighting for the monsters. They are all ours!"
The players of Undead Dragon Soul were very excited. Even if there were no other gains, just finding such a treasure land for upgrading was worthwhile.
With the skilled cooperation of several people.
Wind Warrior attracted two undead.
Jibei Wangyue and others were preparing to start step by step.
Although it was a bit dangerous for two undeads to attack together, it was still within the ability to deal with them. As long as no more than three were dealt with at the same time, the team could easily win with their ability.
Who would have thought.
At this moment.
Something unexpected happened.
A strange blue and white ghost fire attacked from behind.
The ghost fire split into two and became several clusters, hitting the undeads present.
When these undeads were hit by the inconspicuous ghost fire, their bodies were immediately engulfed by a large ball of flames and burned to ashes in almost the blink of an eye.
"Damn it!"
"What's going on!"
"Who did it!"
Players such as Jubei Wangyue were shocked.
Although the undeads were not powerful monsters, as level 18 monsters, their health bars were still very thick. There were only a handful of strong men in the Scourge Army who were able to kill them instantly, not to mention killing several in one breath.
And.
I have never seen this spell.
It's not a skill of the territory!
The nine players were filled with astonishment and vigilance.
A figure in a black Taoist robe slowly appeared before their eyes.
His skin was covered by his robes, and even his face was covered with a strange mask with a bone texture. Two balls of blue flames could be seen dancing in his eyes.
[He Song], level? ? ? ... Introduction: ? ? ?
He found that he could see the Taoist's level name, but could not see the level and other information. It can be seen that the other party's level and strength should not be underestimated, and it is probably far above his own.
The wind-like warrior asked: "Who are you?"
He Song released a spell without saying a word, and a large number of black vines spread and grew rapidly, instantly entangled nine people from their feet, and the poisonous thorns pierced into their bodies and paralyzed their bodies directly, making them lose their ability to move.
"Fuck!"
"What are you doing?"
"Let me go!"
Several players realized that they might have encountered villains.
He Song said in a low voice: "I ask, you answer!"
Wind-like Warrior: "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you!"
"Looking for death!"
He Song's eyes flashed, and he didn't see any movement. The black thorn vines tightened and began to absorb blood, instantly sucking the wind-like warrior into jerky, and the player's health bar was reduced to zero on the spot.
"Who are you? Where are you from!"
He Song asked again.
"It's a ruthless person!"
"But this means nothing to us!"
"Humph, no matter who you are, if you offend us, you will have no good juice to eat!"
"Yeah, I advise you to let us go quickly, I have remembered you, if you dare to kill me, I will avenge you!"
"..."
He Song didn't expect that his act of killing one of their companions would not only not scare these people, but make them say a bunch of puzzling words.
Are these people mentally ill?
He Song was also ruthless, and immediately attacked again, burning the four shouting players into ashes with flames.
He said again with a gloomy breath: "I ask again, where are you from, are you the subordinates of the Star Lord?!"
Sure enough, they are villains!
They must be the hostile NPCs in the Wancheng area!
I have never heard of this name! I guess it is an original character in the game!
At this time, he raised his glass and looked at the moon and said: "He Song, it is not impossible for you to ask us to answer your questions, but before that you must answer a few questions for us!"
Hearing the other party call out his name directly.
He Song was obviously stunned for a moment.
Then he felt confused.
These guys are about to die, and they don’t care about their lives, but they want to ask questions to themselves?
Fearing that He Song would take action, He Song immediately continued: "Who are you and where are you from? How many years has the abyss of Wancheng descended? I think these questions should not be difficult to answer. As long as you answer these simple questions, we will answer your questions. Otherwise, even if you kill us, you will not get any answers."
He would never reveal the territory information.
All he wanted to do was to deceive the information.
As long as the information was obtained, you could kill or chop him up, whatever you wanted.
"Hmph, it's okay to tell you. I'm from New Wancheng, and I'm one of the disciples of the Jiyin Patriarch!"
"As for the land of Wancheng being swallowed by the abyss, it has been 120 years since then."
He Song answered He Song's questions. After all, he had no need to hide them. These things were not secrets, but common sense that any citizen in Nanyang knew.
New Wancheng?
Jiyin Patriarch?
He Song's thoughts turned rapidly.
If there is a New Wancheng, there must be an Old Wancheng.
There is no abyss aura on He Song, so he should not be a fallen evil person, but a native. It can be seen that at least Xinwan City is inhabited by normal people, and the towns in this map have not been completely destroyed.
One hundred and twenty years?
I didn't expect the time in this area to be so distorted!
The natives of this plane are quite strong, and they can resist in the abyss for such a long time.
What is the Jiyin Patriarch? Why does he sound like a character in a novel about cultivating immortals? Is this place still the Three Kingdoms era that everyone knows!
