Chapter 47: Conquering the Stronghold
Chapter 47: Conquering the Stronghold (Please read and vote)
Wang Yu couldn't help but wonder, did the team in the previous round develop in this environment? Fighting is actually very beneficial to the improvement of the cultivator's strength.
If they continue to fight like this every day for five years, it would not be surprising that everyone has reached the late stage of Qi training. The weak will die early, and the strong will naturally become more outstanding and cultivate at a very fast speed.
The sect's mission requires each person to mine 10,000 kilograms of bone wood and report back. If it is second-level bone wood, 100 kilograms will be enough.
This is a five-year supply, there is no need to rush.
After gathering the intelligence, Wang Yu felt a deep headache. Before April next year, he must clear out several strongholds where second-level bone trees grow, and they must have bone bags.
The higher it is, the better its growth condition is. The second-order bone trees are almost all concentrated in the top few dozen layers, and become increasingly sparse as they go down. For example, there is only one second-order bone tree in the entire 200th floor, and it is occupied by a colony of bees.
When he returned to the ground, Gu Zhengshun and others were controlling twenty-one bronze-armored corpses, finding good spots to bury the eyes of the formation, and triangular black flags were falling one after another.
The bottom thirty floors of Xuan Gu Mountain were covered by a layer of black fog, which only included the area where the disciples of Tian Shi Peak lived and practiced on a daily basis.
"Are you defending against Liu Jinxian and Situ Hong?"
"otherwise?"
Gu Zhengshun asked back, and then sighed,
“We have to be careful as we are few in number, and Gu doesn’t want to compete with them.
"Including Junior Brother Wang, there are only 22 of us in total. These 300 levels of Xuan Gu Mountain are enough for each of us to have a good meal. Why should we fight for more?"
Being greedy is not good. It is enough to just guard this little piece of land. Gu Zhengshun's awareness made Wang Yu marvel and his impression of him changed greatly.
It would be better not to cause trouble. He didn't want to cause trouble either. Five years of meditation was enough for him to be reborn and make further progress.
Pah Pah——
After clapping his hands and gathering everyone together, Gu Zhengshun arranged the next plan. He said:
“Don’t worry about the mining of bone wood for now.
"Before next April, you must take down ten second-level bone woods with bone bags. The rest are yours. Understand?"
Wang Yu couldn't help but look surprised when he heard that.
"Brother Gu, do you want to?"
"Haha, Junior Brother Wang, don't worry, just take care of yourself and don't worry about me. They are all consumables sent by my Gu family, serving me exclusively. Even if they die, they still have value.
"You and I have cooperated first, let's...separate."
"That's good." Wang Yu raised his eyebrows. He was quite satisfied with this arrangement. It was better to be self-reliant.
"In that case, I will go first."
"good---"
Wang Yu sat on the black silk again and flew upwards. He was alone, and even if he could take down the lower levels, they would be too sparse. He aimed at the top few levels.
The second-level bone trees there grow densely, with few bee colonies and many ferocious bone lions.
His ability is more suitable for dealing with the ferocious bone lion, and occupying two floors is enough for him. As for whether Gu Zhengshun will regret it in the later stage and bring people to pick his peaches.
Judging from our contact with him during this period, he won’t.
Gu Zhengshun was a man who knew how to judge the situation very well. There was a high possibility that he had spied on the battle between the corpse-raising ground and Xu Jiaojiao.
This person will not take action unless he is absolutely sure of killing him.
Not long after Wang Yu left.
A talisman flew in from the formation that had just been set up. A disciple took it and handed it to Gu Zhengshun, who muttered to himself.
"Situ Hong and Liu Jinxian invited me to meet at the camp between the three Xuangu Mountains?
"Is this a gathering of mountain masters? It makes sense since I'm new here.
"But, hey, I'm not going~"
With a flick of his fingers, he burned the talisman to ashes and continued with his work.
In the middle camp, the elegant and handsome Situ Hong was sitting opposite Liu Jinxian. He said:
"It seems that Gu Zhengshun, that pig, refuses to come out. What does Senior Sister Liu say?"
Liu Jinxian had green hair and a pretty face, but her nose looked like it had been gnawed by bugs, revealing two black eyes, which made her look both funny and disgusting.
There were also a few gray woodlice crawling in it, like a corpse. When they opened their mouths, a sweet smell came out, which made people have hallucinations.
“Not coming?
"If he doesn't come, I'll kill him. I want all the poisonous bee swarms in the three Black Bone Mountains!"
Hearing this, Situ Hong was somewhat speechless.
"He set up a maze, can you break it, Senior Sister?"
"It's simple, will you come?"
"Forget it. I'm busy selecting the right bone wood."
"Hmph, coward."
This kind of straightforward provocation was completely ineffective on Situ Hong. He even felt like laughing. It was just the beginning and the Xuanjing Flower was far from blooming. Why would he do something that had no benefit?
"Senior Sister Liu, please do whatever you want. Junior Brother will go first."
The two failed to reach a cooperation and disbanded peacefully.
…………
…………
The third Xuangu Mountain, 290 floors.
Wang Yu was standing under a second-level bone tree, his left hand emitting ice-blue spiritual power, and he was strangling the throat of a ferocious bone lion.
“Ka-ba—”
Wang Yu twisted the neck and threw it on the ground with ease. The strength of an adult ferocious bone lion is comparable to that of a ninth-level Qi training cultivator, and its realm is even stronger than Xu Jiaojiao.
However, this wild monster with low intelligence has neither numerous spells nor powerful magical weapons, so it still acts alone.
With Wang Yu's strength, he cast the perfect level of the Night Hiding Curse, bound him with the Nether Spirit Chain, and strangled him with a move of his left corpse arm. Under such huge force, he was no match for him.
His fundamental reliance lies in his strong combat capability and diverse means.
The newly added trump card, the divine corpse arm, can still bring him great help even without using the death energy.
Judging from the strength displayed by the Fierce Bone Lion, an outer disciple of the Niling Blood Sect who had reached the sixth level of Qi training could kill it one-on-one, thus wasting the advantage brought by that realm.
This is the difference between having a sect's foundation and growing up in a wild way.
He should actually thank the thief who sold him to the Ni Ling Xue Sect, otherwise he would not have grown to this point in just over three years.
There are about twenty second-order black bone trees on these 290 floors, four ferocious bone lions, and three colonies of poisonous bees. There are only four second-order bone trees with flower buds, but there are hundreds of first-order bone trees that show signs of growing black essence flowers.
After temporarily capturing a stronghold, Wang Yu began to set up a formation he had purchased from the sect. Its name was the [Blood Mist Hidden Spirit Formation] and it was a typical first-grade, top-grade maze.
It can completely conceal the fluctuations of spiritual energy within a hundred meters, block outside prying eyes, and isolate the movements inside and outside to prevent intrusion inside.
This set of formation flags is of high value, costing two thousand spirit stones. After activation, one flag needs to be consumed every day, and the spiritual power consumption will double when encountering external enemies.
Wang Yu happened to have a lot of spirit stones in his hands, so he didn't care about this consumption.
The cooperation with Zhao Shang made him at least tens of thousands of profits from the Bingxue Tower. Several people joined forces to swallow up no less than 50,000 spirit stones in the tower, which was just a small amount of money for Su Zhenchuan.
But if we continue like this, we will be discovered sooner or later.
