Chapter 224: The Four Talismans Demon-Exterminating Formation! The Scourge Army’s Counterattack!

Recently.

It is very lively offline.

The offline player exchange meeting ended a few days ago.

It is being reported by major mainstream media and traditional TV stations.

More and more people who never care about games, such as security guards, fishermen, and mountaineers, have learned about Gui Sanguo. Within a few days, an unprecedented wave of public opinion has been set off in various fields and even the whole society.

Some people are attracted by Gui Sanguo.

The team of cloud players is growing rapidly.

Naturally, there are also a large number of old-fashioned parents, educators, public intellectuals, or water armies with ulterior motives who are madly criticizing and smearing. After all, in their eyes, games are evil and they wish all games in the world would disappear immediately.

The big debate is very lively.

It has caused a lot of social news.

When the two sides are arguing, they are just short of real-person PK.

Another big thing happened in the Magic City area: the offline headquarters building of the Shenyu Palace Corps was put into use!

There are already multiple corps in the Scourge Legion, and the number of corps will continue to increase in the future. However, the Shenyu Palace founded by the warlock Xiao Lingdang is undoubtedly one of the corps with the greatest comprehensive strength and reputation.

Xiao Lingdang Li Yuling is only a junior high school graduate.

Her father Li Songlin is one of the few super rich tycoons.

He has mastered more and more inside information so far. He has gradually become serious and super-skilled in this project from being only interested in it at the beginning, and now it has risen to an unprecedented height.

Now, not only has the investment in the Shenyu Palace Corps increased by ten times and continued to increase, but he has also used his ability and connections to form an offline team for it, and even took out a group building located in GBD, the core of the Magic City.

This luxurious building cost billions.

It was directly renamed the Shenyu Palace Building.

Just to build momentum for my daughter!

From today on, it is the headquarters of the Shenyu Palace Corps in the real world. In addition, in order to attract more talents for the Shenyu Palace, a nearby five-star hotel has also been bought, which will be used to provide accommodation for the Corps personnel in the future.

To play games for my daughter.

Such unremitting investment.

Countless netizens were dumbfounded and said they had never seen such a thing before.

Of course, some people also felt different winds from Li Songlin's series of actions.

Any behavior of a business tycoon or super consortium leader of this level could not be decided on a whim. No matter how much he doted on his only daughter, he could not use nearly 10 billion yuan of capital to let her play games.

There is only one possibility.

This game is worth such hype and hype.

Because it can bring returns far exceeding the current investment in the future.

As for the little bell Li Yuling, she has already completed the procedures for leaving school to study on her own. With the assistance and support of her father behind the scenes, she has officially become a real full-time player.

This makes Li Yuling feel unprecedented happiness!

Not only can she play the games she wants to play and do what she likes to do, even her father, who she only saw a few times a year in the past, now often appears in front of her to give her advice on the planning of her regiment and the development of personnel.

It's just like a dream!

The high-profile official announcement of the offline headquarters of the Magic City Shenyu Palace is a crucial milestone for the Corps. It is a historical event of record value even for the entire Scourge Corps and even the Three Kingdoms.

After the simple unveiling ceremony.

More than a hundred Shenyu Palace players officially settled in the headquarters hotel.

Li Yuling opened the game warehouse and was about to go online, but at this time an important guest came to visit, who was the big money behind the Corps and also her father.

This well-known top-level rich man always looks calm and serious, and next to him is a handsome young man in his early twenties.

"Hey, cousin, why are you here too? When did you return to China?"

The young man next to Li Songlin is Li Yuling's eldest cousin Zhao Cong.

He is very smart and has good character, but he has been surrounded by too many playboys since he was a child. He is unlearned and unskilled every day. He is either racing or picking up girls. In the end, he was sent to England to study.

"Hey, I've already dropped out of school. I can't read this crappy book for a day!"

Zhao Cong said excitedly: "Xiao Lingling, you are my idol now. You must follow me in the future!"

What does it mean?

Li Yuling was confused.

Li Songlin explained: "Zhao Cong has won the internal test qualification of Gui Sanguo and can log in to the game world tomorrow night."

Hearing this.

Li Yuling was overjoyed.

"Cousin is going to become a new recruit of the natural disaster? That's great! Our family finally has a second natural disaster army!"

She laughed and said generously: "Okay, no problem, come to me when you come in, we will recruit you to join the army, and we will enjoy the good life together in the future!"

Shenyu Palace, one of the four major army groups, is a female-dominated army, but it is unrealistic not to recruit a male player.

It's just that the character, personality, and ability requirements for male players are more stringent, so more than 80% of the members of the army are female.

Although this guy has some dandy habits, his nature is not bad. As long as he is controlled and does not harass the female players in the corps, this guy will also be a good and reliable companion.

Li Songlin said: "Xiao Cong does not need to join the Shenyu Palace. We have other arrangements for him. We just need to take care of him in the early stage."

Li Yuling was a little confused at first.

After a careful understanding, it suddenly dawned on her.

Zhao Cong is a new agent found by his father.

He is originally a member of the family and has grown up with him since he was a child and can be trusted.

Although Zhao Cong is uneducated, he has a lot of personality charm. Many arrogant super second and third generations obey him, so Li Songlin plans to use his unique connections and social advantages to gather these top N generations in the future to create a new natural disaster army in the game.

Once these people are bound.

The resources and potential of this corps in the future cannot be underestimated.

Once Zhao Cong becomes powerful in the game, although he and Shenyu Palace operate independently, they can complement and cooperate with each other, and will surely gain a higher voice and influence within the Scourge Army and the territory.

In short.

Zhao Cong is another chess piece cultivated by Li Songlin.

Li Yuling nodded: "No problem! Work hard! The development of the territory is still in its early stages, and there are great opportunities to make achievements in the future!"

Zhao Cong felt tears welling up in his eyes and his blood boiling.

He and his gang of friends of all generations have been paying attention to the Three Kingdoms of Ghost.

They dreamed of getting a place in the internal test, but they never thought that their dream would come true so soon.

Zhao Cong couldn't help but tremble with excitement when he thought that he was about to become a glorious soldier of the Scourge Army. How could racing and picking up girls in the real world be as fun as this game!

"Cousin, uncle, don't worry!"

Zhao Cong said firmly: "We also want to start a business, we also want to stand out, we also want to be recognized by others, this time we will definitely go all out, and I will become the best natural disaster army!"

Who doesn't want to be a hero?

These dandies have lived under the protection of their parents and grandparents all their lives.

Although they have no worries about food and clothing and sufficient material for their whole lives, most people are extremely spiritually empty, because they know very well that no matter how hard they work or how capable they are, it is difficult to surpass their predecessors. How much money can they spend on eating, drinking and having fun? It is really a waste of money to mess around!

If there is a platform and an opportunity to prove yourself.

Anyone with a little dignity will not let it go.

What's more, it's such an interesting thing!

Li Songlin didn't say anything: "Let's go back first. Yuling's game time is precious. Let's not affect him here anymore."

Finally, he explained a few words.

He took Zhao Cong away.

Li Yuling did not waste a second. She immediately entered the game cabin and logged into the game. As the Scourge Warlock Xiao Lingdang, she woke up from her residence in the main city of Luoshui.

"Another energetic day!"

Xiao Lingdang was full of energy and in a very good mood.

I didn't expect that even my cousin would join the Scourge Army. In the future, there will definitely be more friends and relatives joining us. It must be great to fight together in this world!

However.

Before that!

We must protect this home!

It is necessary to improve ourselves and the legion as soon as possible!

"I upgraded my weapons and clothes to the third-level blue quality yesterday. Today's task is to practice skills. I will hurry to the Enlightenment Tower to use up my savings!"

Xiao Lingdang is already level 22.

He is the highest-level Scourge Warlock.

However, in order to upgrade, less investment has been made in recent skill training. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Skill training is as important as equipment improvement, or even more important.

However, practicing skills requires a lot of energy.

What should I do if I don't have enough energy?

Xiao Lingdang's solution is to spend money!

Although Gui San Guo does not sell either stats or skins, and does not even provide any channels for players to spend money, it does not mean that the super-rich players cannot gain advantages by spending money.

The production team does not want to make money.

It does not mean that ordinary players do not want to make money.

After part of the contribution points obtained from daily tasks and monster hunting are converted into circulating coins, most of them are finally pocketed by super-rich players represented by Xiao Lingdang and Ye Limeng.

These big players have obtained more resources to develop their power, and ordinary players have obtained a lot of cash, thereby improving their lives and even their fates in the real world.

Each one takes what he needs!

Not only contribution points!

There are also various equipment and props.

As long as it is a tradable item, it can be purchased in cash.

Xiao Lingdang recently spent tens of millions of dollars to receive a batch of recharge cards for the Enlightenment Tower.

The so-called "Enlightenment Tower Recharge Card" is actually the exclusive energy discount coupon of the Enlightenment Tower. This thing cannot be dropped by killing monsters, nor can it be bought from any NPC. It can only be opened from the reward treasure chest of the activity task.

These cards have different denominations.

The amount varies from 3,200 to 80,000 or 100,000.

This is related to the quality of the task and the quality of the reward treasure chest.

Recently, there are many rewards issued in the territory with intensive activities. Many middle and lower-level players have opened small-value Enlightenment Tower recharge cards from bronze treasure chests, giving Xiao Lingdang the opportunity to spend nearly 10 million yuan to purchase.

In total.

More than 60 Enlightenment cards were bought.

It can be used to deduct about 500,000 essence in the Enlightenment Tower!

This money is nothing to Xiao Lingdang or the consortium behind her.

But it is a big profit for the players who sell these recharge cards.

Xiao Lingdang took a look.

Currently, there are 80,000 essences on her.

In addition to the more than 500,000 stored value in the Enlightenment Tower.

She can use nearly 600,000 essences for skill training.

This is undoubtedly a huge number for players at this stage!

I hope to develop good skills!

Thinking of this, she entered the Enlightenment Tower.

Immediately start to check the skills you have mastered so far.

As one of the top warlocks in the Scourge Army, Xiao Lingdang has mastered nearly twenty different skills (including combo skills), most of which are naturally spirit-enhancing warlock skills.

However.

Although there are many skills.

There are not many suitable materials.

Can two skills be enlightened and merged successfully.

First of all, a necessary condition must be met: that is, the skills used for enlightenment must be cultivated to the maximum level, and although Xiao Lingdang has mastered nearly twenty skills, not every skill has been cultivated to the maximum level.

Secondly, although any two skills have the probability of enlightenment, the closer the two skills are, the higher the probability. Therefore, if there is not enough energy resources, it is best not to try to merge two incompatible skills.

So far.

Many powerful strength and agility fusion skills have appeared in the territory, such as the Shadow Instant Attack mastered by Black Eyed Ruige, and the Wild Tiger Burning Soul mastered by Ye Limeng.

These are all very powerful blue skills.

In addition, there are top-level skills or skills with high thresholds and difficulties, such as the Three Swords of the Martial Saint and the Phoenix Spear, which are beyond the reach of the Natural Disaster Army.

In comparison,

Warlocks and monks are somewhat embarrassed.

Because so far, the territory seems to have no blue skills that can enhance the spirit system and the will system, let alone systematic skills.

As for the reason for this situation, the main reason is that the magic skills circulated in the territory are not rich enough, and there is a lack of systematic skills suitable for integration.

However, with the conquest of Wancheng.

The territory has absorbed figures such as Jia Xu and Zhang Zhongjing, as well as forces such as the Jiyin Sect and the Han Family of Wancheng who are good at using magic. In the future, there will definitely be more and more powerful secret magics circulated in the territory.

How to practice this time?

With the assistance of the offline research team of the Shenyu Palace.

Xiao Lingdang has found a suitable direction for skill practice.

Although there are few systematic magic skills in the territory at present, there are some, such as talisman skills.

There is a Taiping Talisman Tower in the main city, where you can learn six skills: Taiping Thunder Talisman, Taiping Fiery Talisman, Taiping Ice Talisman, Taiping Wind Strike Talisman, Taiping Rejuvenation Talisman, and Taiping Purity Talisman.

Compared with other spells.

These talismans are obviously independent.

There is a relatively high probability that they can be integrated into a system.

Xiao Lingdang does not have a better training skill for the time being, so this time he decided to start with the talisman. If this training can be successful, it can be regarded as a contribution to the territory, and many people will benefit from it in the future.

However, among the current six talismans.

Xiao Lingdang has only practiced four attack spells.

[Ding, you are fusing the "Taiping Thunder Talisman" and the "Taiping Fiery Talisman", and this enlightenment will consume 15,000 essence! ]

It's a bit expensive!

But they are all green skills.

Such consumption is normal!

Xiao Lingdang took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then officially opened the state of enlightenment.

Instantly, countless information appeared in her mind. Although she had many mysterious new insights, she still did not generate any creative inspiration.

The first enlightenment ended in failure!

Although she had experienced failure at the beginning, Xiao Lingdang was not discouraged. She rested for two minutes and then started the second enlightenment.

[Energy - 15,000! ]

[Ding, enlightenment failed! ]

Failed again!

Just a little bit!

Xiao Lingdang took advantage of the fact that the insights had not yet dissipated.

She hurried to carry out the third round of enlightenment.

[Energy - 15,000! ]

[Ding, enlightenment succeeded, you have comprehended the "Taiping Thunder and Fire Talisman"! ]

"It's done!"

Xiao Lingdang was overjoyed!

Success after no more than three failures.

This shows that the two skills are indeed very suitable for fusion!

Xiao Lingdang quickly checked the information of "Taiping Thunder and Fire Talisman".

This skill has both thunder and fire attack attributes, and its power is much stronger than ordinary thunder talismans. It can also produce a burning effect after the explosion, and the skill cooling time is not long.

Not only that, the Thunder and Fire Talisman can delay the trigger and sense the trigger.

Let the players who master this talisman have more tactical options.

It is a bit similar to the detonation talisman in a certain comic.

Good skill!

But unfortunately.

This skill is still green quality.

Xiao Lingdang spent 35,000 of her own energy to cultivate it to the full level, so that her own spiritual attributes can be further enhanced, and then continued to start the next round of enlightenment practice.

[Ding, you are fusing the "Taiping Wind Strike Talisman" and the "Taiping Ice Talisman". This enlightenment will consume 15,000 energy! ]

[Ding, enlightenment failed! ]

[Essence -15,000! ]

[Ding, enlightenment failed! ]

[Essence -15,000! ]

[Ding, enlightenment is successful, you have comprehended the "Taiping Ice Sealing Talisman"! ]

Xiao Lingdang was overjoyed!

This time she only failed twice!

She hurried to check the newly created skills.

This "Taiping Ice Sealing Talisman" can summon an extremely cold storm through the talisman, thereby instantly freezing the air and forming a huge piece of ice.

In terms of power, the lethality is not high.

I'm afraid it's only one-tenth of the Thunder and Fire Talisman.

But this skill can freeze the target together with the surrounding air, thus playing a powerful binding and sealing effect, which is a relatively rare ability of the Natural Scourge Army at present.

Xiao Lingdang was very satisfied.

She has a lot of output skills.

But the physical body sealing skills are very scarce.

She already has a certain mental control ability through the Nine-bend Spell Staff, and now she has obtained this physical body sealing skill. Her performance in actual combat will definitely be even better in the future!

Another 35,000 of her own essence was spent.

The "Taiping Ice Sealing Talisman" has also been cultivated to the maximum level!

Xiao Lingdang's attributes were further enhanced. This time, she successfully gained two high-quality new skills through enlightenment. This was a very good harvest, but she was not satisfied with it.

"Blue skills!"

"I want blue skills!"

"Although these two skills are good, they are still green. If they can be further integrated, they can definitely become blue!"

Xiao Lingdang has enlightened seven times in total, spending 105,000 costs, and she still has about 400,000 balance in the tower!

No matter how you look at it.

It's more than enough!

Xiao Lingdang couldn't help but get excited.

If this succeeds, she will become the first Scourge Army with blue fusion spells!

[Ding, you are fusing "Taiping Thunder Fire Talisman" and "Taiping Ice Sealing Talisman", this enlightenment will consume 35,000 essence! ]

It's so expensive!

But there is no choice!

Xiao Lingdang started enlightenment directly.

The first time failed without any suspense.

Xiao Lingdang couldn't help but frown, because this failure was different from the past, and almost no decent inspiration and clues were generated, which showed that the difficulty of this fusion was extraordinary!

Be mentally prepared!

A round of enlightenment began!

[Energy - 35,000! ]

[Ding, enlightenment failed! ]

[Energy - 35,000! ]

[Ding, enlightenment failed! ]

[……]

When it failed for the seventh time.

The cost of 245,000 energy was gone!

Even as a rich woman, Xiao Lingdang finally lost her temper, after all, the loss was too big!

Xiao Lingdang didn't care about the money.

It would be easy if it could be solved by spending money.

This kind of recharge card that can only be opened in the task treasure chest is currently in circulation in the game. There are very few of them. Unless the territory continues to open large-scale tasks at a high frequency in the future, it is impossible to buy them no matter how much money you have!

Do you want to give up?

Thunder and fire talismans and ice talismans.

I always feel that the two are mutually exclusive.

That's why the probability of successful comprehension is so low.

Now there is still some Enlightenment Tower essence left. Maybe I can try to practice and comprehend other skills. It's better than wasting all my energy on these two skills!

After a brief hesitation.

Xiao Lingling gritted her teeth and decided to continue!

She has invested a lot in several skills.

It would be a pity to give up now.

Although she failed seven times in a row, she has already gained some insights, but she is still a little short of the heat. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. I can't give up at this time.

[Essence - 35,000! ]

[Ding, Enlightenment failed! ]

[Essence - 35,000! ]

[Ding, Enlightenment failed! ]

[……]

Failed three more times!

I have failed ten times in total!

The cost of 350,000 essence is gone!

Xiao Lingdang suppressed her inner impetuosity. She could clearly feel that she was only one step away from success.

[Energy - 35,000! ]

[Ding, enlightenment is successful, you have comprehended the "Four Talismans Destroying Demon Formation"! ]

It's done!

Xiao Lingdang was overjoyed!

She could clearly feel that a huge amount of knowledge and understanding was taking shape and completing the connection in her mind.

A new ability has appeared!

You can feel it even without checking the details.

The ability comprehended this time is definitely not ordinary, its strength and profundity far exceed any spell currently mastered!

Open the personal panel.

A new skill name appeared in front of her.

[Four Talismans Destroying Demon Formation], blue quality skill, current skill level 1, permanent spirit attribute +65, consume 200 mana points to summon the Four Talismans Killing Formation, which can cause thunder, fire, wind, and ice attacks to the specified target or all targets in the formation, and continuously cause paralysis, burning, bleeding, and freezing effects. At the same time, when the target is suppressed by the formation, all attributes will be weakened.

The coverage area and strength of this formation are positively correlated with the level of cultivation, skill level, and spiritual attributes.

The consumption of this formation is positively correlated with the range of the formation and the number of targets.

The skill cooldown time is 300 seconds.

…

When Xiao Lingdang saw this skill, she was stunned.

First of all, there is no doubt that this is a very powerful skill. It is only 1 level just now. In this case, it can bring 65 points of spiritual increase, which is outstanding even in blue fusion skills.

It is estimated that when this skill is cultivated to the full level.

It can increase one hundred and thirty or forty spirits.

Even if we put aside the skill effect, just looking at this spiritual attribute increase, this skill is enough to greatly increase the spell attack ability of a warlock.

As for the skill itself?

This is not only the first blue quality fusion skill in the territory, but also a very rare formation skill, which combines attack, suppression, control, and weakening.

Too strong!

I have never seen such a skill!

Xiao Lingdang feels that all the efforts are worth it!

The difficulty of comprehending this skill is very great. It starts with learning the four great spells of the Taiping Dao, Thunder, Fire, Wind and Ice, then comprehending the superior Thunder and Fire spells and Ice seal spells, then creating the Four-Spell Demon Extermination Formation, and finally practicing the Four-Spell Demon Extermination to the maximum level.

Xiao Lingdang roughly estimated.

It should cost 800,000 in total.

This is extremely difficult for the current natural disaster army.

At this stage, it is second only to the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Spear and the Three Swords of the Martial Saint!

Xiao Lingdang was full of pride and accomplishment when she thought that she could master such an awesome skill. She couldn't wait to try the power of this skill.

When leaving the Enlightenment Tower.

Ten hours have passed.

Before Xiao Lingdang could sigh that time passed too quickly during the enlightenment process, she suddenly learned from the information sent by the Shenyu Palace and other high-level members of the Corps that the territory had once again entered a state of war.

"What happened?"

Xiao Lingdang hurried to the Shenyu Palace station.

At this time, most of the players of the Shenyu Palace Corps have arrived.

Chi Mei Wang Liang said: "Our Woniu Mountain area has been attacked again. As of just now, four or five blessing points have been occupied!"

Hua Mulan said angrily: "It must be the undead in the north!"

Qing Chen: "The alien lords are still determined to destroy us. We must not let them do whatever they want in our territory!"

Xiao Lingdang was even more furious when she learned about this. This territory is the home of all the Scourge Army and even all humans. Anyone who attempts to interfere with and threaten the existence of this land is the enemy of all the Scourge Army!

No matter what enemy you encounter.

No matter how powerful the enemy is.

Even if you die a thousand times or ten thousand times, you must beat them back!

After all, according to Director Zhou at the offline party, the creation of this game world is very accidental. Once the world collapses, all mankind may lose this home forever.

Such a price is unbearable for anyone!

Chenxi said: "The territory has issued a bounty mission. As long as you can recapture the base occupied by the alien race, you can exchange it for quite generous contribution points and random prizes."

Lu Xiaoyou: "What are you waiting for? This is a good opportunity for our Shenyu Palace to show off!"

Chimei Wangliang also nodded: "Yes, this mission will have a significant impact on the Corps' points ranking. Whether it is for the territory or for the development of the Corps, we should take action as soon as possible."

Several Corps leaders discussed with each other.

Finally, each of them chose a target.

As for other players?

Other players who don't have a Corps, or a newly established small Corps, can freely choose to follow one of the large Corps to act together. As long as they successfully take back the base, the rewards they get will be rewarded according to their merits.

For a while.

Players actively participated.

It doesn't matter whether a bounty is offered or not.

What players really care about is the security of their territory.

The rebellion of foreign races has greatly reduced the players' sense of security. Even if there is no reward of a dime, they will not allow foreign races to run rampant on their land... not to mention that hunting these star units can also drop quite generous rewards.

In the core hall.

When noticing that the Scourge Army has begun to counterattack.

Hang Yu nodded with satisfaction. He has been paying attention to the performance of the players. Even if he occasionally does not notice it, but there are places worth paying attention to, Xiao Ba will remind him in time.

For example, the "Four Talismans Demon Extermination Formation" that Xiao Lingdang has comprehended.

This is really a good skill.

These players can always bring some surprises to the territory from time to time.

Hang Yu continued to keep his troops in place. Shansang City was jointly guarded by Zhou Cang and Wen Pin, and Jia Xu in Wancheng was already alert. The counterattack was all handed over to the Scourge Army. This confrontation will soon bear fruit.

Since the opposite lord has not yet appeared.

Hang Yu has no need to personally go down for the time being.

All he needs to do now is to control the overall situation behind the scenes and pay attention to the development of the situation on all sides. As a lord, he must remain calm.
