Chapter 96: Lords Show Off Their Power and Large Towns!
When Hang Yu agreed.
Zhou Ji was about to draw his sword immediately.
He had fought with the leader of the dragon lizards before, and knew that this group of aliens from outer space was not simple, so it was necessary to personally verify whether the person in front of him had the strength to fight against the other party.
Hang Yu stopped him and said: "Wait a minute!"
Zhou Ji looked confused: "Does the lord regret it?"
Hang Yu said: "Of course not, but you have consumed some energy in the battle just now. It's not too late to fight me after you adjust your state. This lord disdains to take advantage of others' misfortune."
The lord has few opportunities to take action. It is rare to take action once, so he must give full play to his due value, such as further expanding his influence and consolidating his own prestige.
"Good!"
Zhou Ji had some respect.
Although he didn't know how strong the person in front of him was.
But with this openness, he was at least a hero.
Hang Yu chose an open space near the base camp as the place for the competition. He gave Zhou Ji an hour to adjust his breath and repair. During this process, players spread the news to each other, and the news quickly spread.
Players from all walks of life rushed to the battle site.
"What happened?"
"Someone challenged our Lord?"
"Who is Zhou Ji? Is he a new NPC?"
"He is the NPC that the bosses brought back from the Woniu Mountain map!"
"The latest news is that Zhou Ji is Zhou Cang's adopted son and apprentice, and his swordsmanship is extremely sharp and powerful!"
"What? Zhou Cang? The Zhou Cang who held the sword for Guan Gong? If this person is really Zhou Cang's disciple, then his strength must be extraordinary!"
"I heard that Zhou Ji has made an appointment with the Lord to fight. If the Lord can win this battle, he is willing to join the territory and serve the Lord, and we will have one more powerful NPC!"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Can the Lord win?"
"I think it should be no problem."
"Although the Lord can deal with the first-level commander Ma Yuanyi, Zhou Ji is a second-level elite after all. I think this battle is still a bit suspenseful."
"..."
Players from all walks of life talked about it.
Chenxi, Xiaolingdang, and Chimei Wangliang also arrived at the scene early.
They are all fans of the Lord. The Lord does not have many opportunities to appear in daily life. How can they miss the opportunity to see it with their own eyes? So they rushed to the scene early to take a seat.
"Look at what this is?"
Xiaolingdang took out a crystal stone.
Chenxi said: "Photographic crystal? I also prepared one!"
Chimei Wangliang said: "Lingdang, this is not an ordinary photographic crystal!"
Xiaolingdang: "Hehe, Sister Wangliang is right, this is the advanced photographic crystal I just got!"
"What?"
"Advanced photographic crystal!"
Several female players became interested.
Green Fox: "Is this the new prop that was just updated not long ago and can be used to shoot high-definition videos?"
Level 4 female ranger Qingchen: "I heard that this thing is expensive!"
Xiao Lingdang explained: "There are many specifications of high-end photography crystals, including 30 frames, 60 frames, and even hundreds or thousands of frames of high-definition high-speed photography. My 30-frame one only costs 1,000 contribution points."
"Although the price of crystals is not too expensive, it charges 500 contribution points per second. It takes 5,000 contribution points to capture a 10-second short video."
It's expensive!
All the players were shocked when they heard it.
Although the players are now well-off.
But there are not many who can casually take out 500,000 contribution points.
Xiao Lingdang is one of the famous local tyrants among the players. She spent a lot of real money to collect a lot of contribution points from other players. I'm afraid only such a rich woman can have the confidence to use such a nearly luxurious game prop.
Now there are many screenshots of the Three Kingdoms.
But no one has shot a video yet.
Xiao Lingdang wanted to take this opportunity to shoot her first game video, which could not only be spread on the Internet for show-off, but also had great historical significance, enough to make her name remembered by future generations.
Dozens of minutes passed quickly.
Hang Yu and Zhou Ji stood outside the territory.
This place had just experienced the Dark War a few days ago, and a large area of grass had been burned, forming a large empty and open wilderness.
When the wind blew, the charred ash was like black snowflakes flying. Two figures were standing in a desolate place and confronting each other. The mysterious and magnificent sky served as the background, which made the dark and strange game temperament fully revealed.
Zhou Ji said directly: "I have recovered, and I will go all out next. I hope the lord will not hesitate to give me advice."
Hang Yu was wearing a Huangtian commander suit. The dark gold armor was gorgeous and cool, and gave people a low-key and steady feeling. With a double-edged gun in hand, he was like a god descending to the world.
"In that case, you take action!"
"Then I'll offend you!"
Although the two sides have not officially fought, Zhou Ji has already felt that this human lord is not easy to deal with. Since the other party lets him take the initiative, he will naturally not be polite to him.
With a swish!
The sword is unsheathed!
Zhou Ji's muscles swelled visibly, like a tight bowstring ready to be launched. With a roar, he rose directly from the ground, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a tiger riding the wind.
So fast!
So fierce!
All the players were shocked by Zhou Ji's attack like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Gu Zhou, Ye Limeng, Kuang Dao Lao Wang and other masters imagined that if it was themselves standing in front of Zhou Ji at this moment, this first move would undoubtedly be unstoppable.
Hang Yu slightly sidestepped Zhou Ji's violent and ferocious jump and slash.
"Watch out for the knife!"
Zhou Ji's knife missed, but his momentum did not diminish. The blade light on the war knife surged, and the second, third, and fourth knives quickly attacked Hang Yu from different positions.
Tiger slash!
This is the knife skill Zhou Ji learned from Zhou Cang!
This skill itself is not profound, but it has a very powerful practical effect. Its characteristic is that it slashes continuously in one go, and disintegrates the enemy in one breath with momentum, speed and strength.
The players were all shocked.
Zhou Ji's knife skill is not only fast and fierce, but every time he slashes, it is accompanied by the sound of a tiger's roar, making people feel that they are not facing a person, but a fierce tiger with super aggressive fangs and claws.
Hang Yu faced the impenetrable continuous fierce attacks, and he showed a leisurely and calm appearance from beginning to end.
The super high agility attribute and the full-level Swift Step made it difficult for Zhou Ji to even touch him, not to mention causing damage. The tiger claw-like knife lights kept falling, and the surrounding ground was cut with deep marks, but Hang Yu didn't lose a single hair.
Bang!
Just then!
A crisp collision sounded!
Hang Yu suddenly smashed the ground with his spear, and the spear handle just pressed the war knife. The powerful force was like a small mountain, and it completely suppressed the war knife, so that Zhou Ji couldn't pull it out after several consecutive efforts.
"I heard that your martial arts were passed down from Zhou Cang. It seems that Zhou Cang's swordsmanship is really average."
"Ah!"
Zhou Ji suddenly shouted, and finally pulled out the knife, and then retreated about ten meters, his eyes full of vigilance and horror.
Although he had guessed that this lord might be stronger than himself, he didn't expect him to be so strong.
Strength and speed are not at the same level.
He was not serious from beginning to end!
The gap is too big!
"Although my foster father taught me some sword techniques, I only learned a little bit, so I can't exert one tenth of its power..." Zhou Ji held the sword in front of him again, and saw the blazing sword light wrapped around it like a flame, and the light it emitted illuminated the surrounding environment a little bit, "This move 'Fierce Tiger Roar' is the strongest move I have learned!"
After more than ten rounds of fighting.
Zhou Ji has realized the gap in strength.
Now he can only use this strongest move to try his luck.
If he still can't shake the opponent, he will have to admit defeat.
A high-pitched tiger roar sounded, and the sword light turned into flames and spread out, turning into a burning tiger in the air, attacking Hang Yu ten meters away with the momentum of a vicious tiger pouncing on its prey.
"Good skill!"
Hang Yu's eyes lit up.
This skill is not only powerful, but also can attack from a long distance, which can well make up for the weaknesses of melee professionals.
Of course, although Zhou Ji's skills were not weak, it was obviously impossible to shake Hang Yu. He did not defend or even dodge, but raised the two-edged spear and casually sent out a concentrated Qi slash.
The spear blade cut through the air.
The white blade light was like a galaxy falling from the sky.
This attack not only easily shattered the burning tiger in front of him, but also landed on Zhou Ji from a distance of more than ten meters. The terrifying force instantly blasted Zhou Ji ten feet away.
Hang Yu stopped in time.
Otherwise, Zhou Ji would have died.
Although both of them were second-level cultivators, Zhou Ji's strength was at most comparable to the elite of the same level, while Hang Yu could at least rival the commander-level existence.
The level difference between the two sides was not big.
But the strength gap was very different.
The reason why Hang Yu dragged on for more than ten rounds before taking action was, on the one hand, to give Zhou Ji some face so that he would be convinced, and on the other hand, to perform for others present, so that others could see the power of the lord again.
The battle was over.
Zhou Ji was seriously injured.
Of course, it was not enough to endanger his life.
The players at the scene were boiling again.
Although everyone is very confident in the strength of the Lord, it is generally believed that this will be a battle of back and forth. Who would have thought that Zhou Ji was overestimating his own strength from beginning to end.
Even a fool can see it.
The gap between the two is not a little bit.
I am afraid that five or ten Zhou Jis together cannot pose a threat!
"Invincible!"
"The God of Feathers is mighty!"
"Lord is so handsome!"
"Did you take a picture? This fight is so exciting!"
"..."
Zhou Ji was completely convinced by Hang Yu's strength. This person's strength is not inferior to that of the Dragon Lizard Leader. He has several top second-level masters under his command, plus a natural disaster army that is suspected to be able to revive infinitely.
If he can surrender to such a lord.
Not only will the expulsion of alien races from outer space be just around the corner.
He himself can also get a better future and development.
Hang Yu did not say anything, accepted Zhou Ji's loyalty, and opened the NPC template for him as soon as possible.
Hang Yu was very satisfied with Zhou Ji's skills, so one of Zhou Ji's main tasks was to teach skills to his people.
He was best at "Tiger Slash" and "Tiger Roaring Slash", both of which were teachable. The former was a white quality skill, and the latter was a green quality skill.
Players need to pay to learn.
Not only do they have to pay for the learning fee, but they also have to reimburse the loss of the skills.
Hang Yu would also charge an additional contribution point, which was not a middleman's profit, but was used to pay the reward.
Zhou Ji could get 1,000 contribution points for each successful "Tiger Slash" and 3,000 contribution points for each successful "Tiger Roaring Slash".
Although learning skills through this method is not efficient and the tuition is very expensive, the skill stones in the skill tower are limited at this stage, and the rich players who are not short of money will definitely learn to enhance their own strength.
After Zhou Ji obtains contribution points.
He can exchange contribution points for essence.
Of course, it can also be used to edit tasks to drive players.
In addition, Zhou Ji himself is also a good combat force. He can also participate in various actions in the Woniu Mountain area. Although NPCs do not have a tenfold explosion rate of players, as long as they work hard, they can also obtain a lot of essence to improve their strength.
The territory has a powerful NPC!
This time has become a hot topic for discussion among players and forums.
Especially Zhou Ji is different from ordinary villagers. He has been wandering around Woniu Mountain for many years. He claims to be Zhou Cang's adopted son. Not only is his personal story and plot worth exploring, but information about the main line is also indispensable.
Hang Yu sent Chimei Wangliang, Xiao Lingdang, Chenxi and others to inquire.
Let the players summarize the collected information and hand it over to him.
Hang Yu returned to the Lord's Hall to continue handling internal affairs.
Xiao Ba reported: "Master, the refugees in Shangyang Township have been settled. It is estimated that the territory can be reactivated in three days. It is expected to generate about 70 magic crystals per month, and the construction limit of the master's Abyss Barracks can be increased by 1!"
This is good news.
New players can be recruited again.
The Abyss Barracks is the habitat and recovery place for the people of the territory in the Abyss. This is the only building that can increase the population recruitment limit at this stage. Its construction limit is directly linked to the effective territory owned by the territory.
Before this.
Hang Yu's territory only has one Heting Township. As for Heting Township and Shangyang Township, because the villages and towns have been destroyed, there are no people in the local area. The teleportation point can be activated, but it is not considered an effective territory.
This time, the player moved a group of refugees back from Woniu Mountain. The village of Shangyang Township was rebuilt and restored to popularity, and naturally became an effective territory. The number of Hang Yu's subordinates exceeded one thousand.
Within three days.
Recruit another one hundred players!
Hang Yu was going to release the news on the forum, and by the way, reveal some of the reasons for the increase in population. When players gradually realized that in the process of expanding the territory and conquering the population, it might actually affect the issuance of the game beta test quota, they would be shocked again by the freedom and sense of participation in the game.
At this time.
"Meet the Lord!"
The demons and monsters came to ask for an audience and saluted respectfully.
Although they knew that there were some NPCs in front of them, they still developed inner respect, so it was necessary to observe etiquette, which also increased the sense of substitution as a player.
Hang Yu asked calmly: "You asked for important information so quickly."
The demons and monsters nodded and said: "Zhou Ji did not hide it, he told everything he knew."
Hang Yu then took the initiative to ask, "What is the current situation in the Woniu Mountain area? Are all the towns under the control of the Dragon Lizard Lord?"
Although he was very interested in Zhou Cang's whereabouts.
But the threat of the enemy lord was more direct.
If all the population in the entire Woniu Mountain area was under the control of the other party.
Then the number of soldiers of the Dragon Lizard Lord's clan may reach more than thousands, which will be difficult to deal with!
Chi Mei Wang Liang replied: "According to Zhou Ji, most of the villages have been controlled by the Dragon Lizards, but there is a county town with a population of nearly 10,000 in the Woniu Mountain area, which has not been conquered by the Dragon Lizards yet."
What?
A population of nearly 10,000?
Hang Yu immediately attached great importance to it.
After all, population is very important to the lord.
Hang Yu has always been in contact with villages with hundreds of people. If there is a town with a population of nearly 10,000 in the Woniu Mountain area, then the value of this place is ten times higher than all the villages he has seen so far.
Of course, in places like this.
The protection of luck will be particularly strong.
It is also difficult for the Star Lord to attack it.
Otherwise, the Dragon Lizard Lord would not have waited until now and not taken it down.
