Chapter 88 I am a part of your Play, right?
"Princess, the battle over there is over."
"Got it, Xuxu!"
Bai Yuji smiled and patted Yin Xu on the back. The girl was only sixteen years old and her cultivation was not very high, but she had already achieved considerable accomplishments in combining the poisonous insects with the formation.
If she had not set up the spider web formation in the first place, her control over the situation in the secret realm would never have reached the current level.
However, I still underestimated the heroes of the world. It was unexpected that someone could capture the first fourth-grade peak ferocious beast so quickly. I just don't know if they have obtained the totem source energy.
Yin Xu was delighted by the compliment and asked in a low voice, "When are we going to deal with this big one?"
"Not urgent!"
Bai Yuji smiled, took out the last few jade bottles, and released the bloody bugs inside.
These insects are the blood parasites that she has carefully raised. This batch is fed by her using the essence and blood of more than a dozen kinds of ferocious beasts and herbs. They are a great tonic for everyone.
After the bloodworm came down to the ground, it was at a loss as to what to do and hurriedly explored the surrounding environment.
They themselves did not notice that their bodies were constantly emitting an enticing scent as they moved back and forth.
After a while.
They seemed to be suddenly tempted by something and began to run towards one place excitedly.
Bai Yuji suddenly smiled.
This is her tactic this time.
Feed first.
Poison again.
No ferocious beast can refuse such a tonic. Even a ferocious beast that needs to lie dormant for some reason will try its best to lure the blood parasite over.
Of course, the ferocious beast is not brainless. When it eats this thing for the first time, it will definitely try it repeatedly.
So the first few batches of blood parasites did not contain any toxins.
She didn't know what the beast's true form was.
But seeing that the time it took to lure the bloodworm was getting shorter and shorter, she knew that it had completely let down its guard.
The last batch of blood poisonous insects also do not contain toxins, but they carry a medicine inside. It will merge with the medicinal properties of the previous batches of blood poisonous insects and catalyze all the blood into blood poison. By then, even a peak fourth-grade ferocious beast can be poisoned.
Bai Yuji counted down silently in her heart.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"yue..."
In the distant cave, the sound of a ferocious beast vomiting and having diarrhea was heard.
Bai Yuji was immediately delighted, but still held back the people who wanted to rush forward: "Don't worry! The blood poison needs a quarter of an hour to fully exert its effect!"
"Yes!"
Everyone suppressed their excitement and endured for a quarter of an hour.
Then, at Bai Yuji's order, he rushed into the cave.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he came out with a jade bottle covered with array patterns.
Yin Xu admired her: "Princess, you are so amazing. It seems that we can get more pictures this time..."
Bai Yuji interrupted in a deep voice, "The word 'greed' is like a knife hanging over your head. The blood parasite has been used up. It's not that I don't have other methods, but they will definitely cause casualties. You are more valuable than the totem source qi."
"Yes!"
Yin Xu nodded quickly, and the other Nanzhao geniuses who were accompanying him also expressed their agreement.
Bai Yuji showed a satisfied smile: "The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure! Xuxu just found a cave. The surrounding terrain and vegetation are very suitable for setting up the Gu formation. Let's go there quickly."
"Yes!"
Everyone prepared to set off.
But we haven’t gone far.
Then a young man ran over quickly: "Princess! Qin Muye and the master from the Princess's Mansion are going to hunt for totem energy!"
"what!"
Bai Yuji's face turned pale. With so many puppets prepared in advance, shouldn't it be a tortoise shell tactic?
Why do you want to die?
She asked hurriedly, "Are all the puppets here?"
The young man quickly replied: "Only one puppet!"
Bai Yuji: “???”
Yin Xu also thought of something: "Oh, Princess, when I was surveying the terrain and setting up the formation, I seemed to see puppets protecting people. At first I thought they were the puppets sold by the Princess Mansion before entering the venue, but now that I think about it, the clothes of those protected people don't look like they come from wealthy families."
"It's just nonsense!"
Bai Yuji panicked: "Let's go to the cave quickly. I have to go find him after setting up the formation!"
Everyone looked at each other, but finally nodded.
Bai Yuji also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly added, "His life is connected to mine, and the position of Shaoqing is related to the fate of our people. I must protect him."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
……
Weapon casting platform.
"The second ray has come out!"
"It turned out that the Qin family got it?"
"Ah this..."
For a moment, all the demon officials were a little depressed.
From their perspective, they cannot see the fine movements of the people inside, and can basically not hear any sounds of normal volume.
But they can see the fog barrier!
Not long after these people entered the cave, the view within a mile radius was shrouded in fog. One could guess with one's toes that they had already obtained the totem source energy.
This……
They had originally thought that with the overwhelming number of experts and the assistance of several wealthy families, they would be able to obtain at least six of the nine strands of totem source energy. However, the first two strands were obtained by the Emperor's Mansion and the Qin family.
My self-esteem can’t take it!
If these two groups get a few more strands, then...
But luckily.
The cloud of mist quickly moved towards the edge of the secret realm, and then stopped moving, apparently giving up the fight for the remaining strands of totem energy.
"call……"
All the demon officials breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions became indescribably solemn when they looked at the growing group of civilian candidates. After these people became powerful, they began to take revenge frantically. As long as they found a lone demon official or a team of children from aristocratic families, they would rush up and attack them.
The crushing scale and the destructive power of the heavily armored puppets were strong enough that they were able to succeed time and time again.
This forced us to form a large-scale group.
After banding together, the situation gradually reversed, after all, the average cultivation level was slightly better.
But for them coming in, passing the imperial examination was only a secondary goal, and gathering together on a large scale was obviously not conducive to the search for the totem source energy.
In desperation, they had to force the war.
Clear out these troublemakers as quickly as possible so that you can search for the totem source energy with peace of mind.
So in the blink of an eye.
The hunting ground turned into a meat grinder. It was clearly a jungle war, but it was fought with the ferocity of a street fight.
But the situation was far from as smooth as they had imagined. Although there was a big gap in strength between the two sides, the fifty puppets with cultivation of the fifth rank or above were like iron stakes, defending the defense line tightly.
From time to time, several elite teams of ten people would rush out from the crowd, splitting and weaving in and out of the chaos, specifically killing the tough guys, and then leaving without any lingering fight, hiding in the crowd in an instant, giving the enemy no chance to surround them.
And those teams.
He was wearing the armor of Annanwei!
This scene.
It makes all the evil officials feel overwhelmed.
Yu Ming's eyes twitched as he watched: "Didn't they say military discipline is useless? Why do these teams feel completely different?"
He doesn't understand either.
It is obvious that these teams are using similar tactics to the army we saw before.
Why are the results so different?
Niu Pingtian couldn't help but curse: "Can't you see? These are soldiers from the Qin family in the southwest!"
Yu Ming: “…”
He felt something was wrong.
Although he seldom entered the territory of Daqian, most of the time he was in the outer territories to balance the ferocious beasts worshipped by the surrounding small countries.
But as one of the top evil officials, he was well aware of the resistance the evil official group encountered in Qian State.
Don’t be fooled by the constant rumors about the Qin family in Kyoto.
At least for now, the Qin family has no signs of rebellion, and the emperor has no means against the Qin family. Instead, he has been playing a game of balancing the two.
If the evil official group wants to spread its influence, it must make the vast majority of people believe that Daqian will collapse without the evil official group.
However, the Qin family stretched across the southwest, making several small countries dare not say a word. On the other hand, the other fronts on the border were all fighting hard.
Given this situation, why would others think that the Qian Kingdom cannot do without the evil official group?
For this imperial examination of all races, they had originally thought that all the young masters would come out, pick off all nine strands of totem source qi, and teach them a good lesson.
As a result, the first two strands of totem energy had nothing to do with them.
The melee became the stage for Annanwei to perform.
This is completely contrary to their original goal.
Is this ok?
This is not good!
Qingqiu Mei'er also frowned: "Why do our so-called geniuses have such poor discipline? If they were organized to hunt down Annanwei, the situation would have been stabilized long ago!"
A smile flashed across Zheng Wang's eyes. The average cultivation level of the Annan Guards was not very high. If the geniuses of the demon clan could unite, it would not be difficult to annihilate them.
But asking the demon race to have discipline is a bit ridiculous.
As a half-demon who grew up in Kyoto, I often cannot control my various desires.
Having served as the Left Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple for several years, I have experienced the feeling of holding great power. The heaviest workload every day is to find ways to help these evil officials abide by the law, even if it is only on the surface.
As for the geniuses of the demon race in the secret realm, each of them is extremely powerful. Except for the freak master in the Princess's Mansion, there are not many who can be their opponents.
They are not stupid, but they will definitely not take countermeasures of encirclement and suppression, because they do not attach importance to tactics and naturally have no overall view. They don't even know that there is such a threat to them by the Annan Guard.
These evil officials were angry at him for not fighting back, but that was only because the jade disc could help them see the overall situation.
The other end.
The envoys from various countries who were watching the battle were also stunned.
Lan Li swallowed his saliva and said, "Is this the fighting power of Annan Guard?"
Qin Yanying chuckled beside him: "Do you know why your father, the self-proclaimed wild emperor, was chased and chopped by my sixth brother?"
Lan Li: “???”
Qin Yanying put her legs on the table and shook them proudly.
Originally, she had not planned to go out for the whole day, but later Chen Sui couldn't stand it anymore and knelt on the ground begging her to see how his two nephews were doing.
She thought about it and it made sense.
If I don't even look at her, it would seem that I, as a nanny, am unqualified.
So he went to the Casting Platform under the starry sky and the moon.
When we got here, we saw that the eldest nephew had already obtained a wisp of totem energy, and the third nephew had fought his way in and out of the battle seven times.
It's really cool! This trip was not in vain.
Qin Yanying sat here. The envoys from the southwestern states suddenly felt dwarfed and all of them shut themselves up and stopped talking.
Those in the north were still whispering.
"Why do I feel that Zhongyuan's puppets are a bit strong?"
"Yeah! If there were thousands of these on the battlefield, it would be difficult to deal with!"
"Impossible! I went to check it out during the day. A sixth-grade puppet is not cheap, and it consumes spirit stones. The battlefield cannot afford so many."
"Not necessarily! This is just the selling price, it doesn't represent the cost of production."
"It is true that the cost cannot be low, but when a group of puppets like this enter the battlefield, there is no need to consider rest logistics and baggage. If you really calculate it, it may not be much more expensive than raising human soldiers."
"Should we buy one this time and study it?"
"Do we have a puppet master?"
"..."
An imperial examination for all ethnic groups held by the Qian Kingdom immediately silenced all the foreign nations in the north and south.
They all seemed to understand why Qin Muye had behaved so arrogantly in the Honglu Temple a few days ago.
Qianguo is crazy!
Those demon officials are the descendants of the demon clan who have always been in the Cricket Secret Realm.
Fortunately.
Both the true energy and demonic power will be exhausted, and there is still a gap in the hard power of the two sides.
After more than half of the people were sent away by the jade token, both sides tacitly chose to retreat.
Overall, there are still advantages.
Moreover, those geniuses with the fourth-grade cultivation level were not the main targets of Annanwei because they were strong enough and could take care of each other, so they were all left behind.
Just don’t affect the search for totem source energy!
……
In the secret realm.
Beside a stream.
The ground was littered with wounded soldiers and screams were heard one after another.
However, there was a group of well-dressed young men who were still in high spirits.
"It's cool!"
"It feels so damn good!"
"This is the first time I've fought such a large-scale battle since I joined the army."
"I used to worry that what I learned from the drills were fake, but I didn't expect that we were really good."
"If my energy hadn't been exhausted, I could still kill!"
A group of shirtless young men from Annanwei were treating each other's wounds, grinning and laughing.
Qin Mingri rubbed his cheek and said, "Don't be too proud. There are less than twenty of us left."
"It's okay! They've probably gone out to get treatment. After a night's rest, we can still kill them tomorrow."
"..."
Qin Mingri frowned.
He always felt that something was wrong.
It was indeed a great time to kill today, but it was completely different from what I expected.
According to his own analysis, this should have been a hunting game. The team of dozens of people from the Southwest Guard could not only show their military prowess, kill and search along the way, but also find the totem source qi along the way.
As a result, they inexplicably formed a group, and in less than twelve hours, the hunting game turned into a large-scale jungle war.
On the first day, more than half of the nearly 7,000 people were gone.
And he himself was trapped in the main battlefield and had no chance to find the totem source energy.
This result.
It was obviously led by Qin Muye's puppets.
Something is not good!
At this time.
An Nanwei, who was thin in stature, jumped down from the mountainside and said, "Boss! Those geniuses of the demon race that you asked me to observe seem to have left the group."
Qin Mingri's pupils condensed: "They must have gone to look for the totem source, we are ready to set off too!"
An Nanwei quickly stopped him: "Don't! We have only been fighting for one day, and it is a melee. Those watching outside don't know how powerful we are!"
Qin Mingri was suddenly in a dilemma.
An Nanwei added, "Tomorrow there will be fewer people. We will ensure that everyone can see us and protect more people to enter the officialdom. Those ministers from humble backgrounds will be able to speak for us in the future. Besides, they can't do anything to the guardian beasts in just one day. We will be able to wait for them to come!"
Qin Mingri thought deeply for a while and nodded heavily: "What you said makes sense!"
……
late at night.
in the canyon.
Bai Yuji's beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she stared at Qin Muye's cheek: "Do you know how dangerous it is to do this?"
Qin Muye laughed awkwardly: "Weren't you talking and laughing just now? How come your face suddenly becomes sour?"
Bai Yuji glared at him and said, "Your future subordinate was here just now, so I'm giving you a favor. Tell me, why did you do this? With so many puppets, why did you only leave one by the side?"
"Your Majesty ordered me to do that!"
"What did you tell me?"
"I was told to intensify the conflict this time and to cut open the rotten flesh and turn it out before I could clean the wound and apply medicine."
"What about the group of princesses fighting for the totem source energy?"
"You have to make patients believe that you are capable, then they will cooperate with you in practicing medicine!"
"You just did it when he told you to? If the jade token is within a mile of the totem source, it will become ineffective and could result in death. Do you know that?"
"Ah this..."
Qin Muye grinned: "Do you really think that the position of Shaoqing is so easy to get? If you don't work hard, when you get out, someone else will be the Shaoqing. How can I help you fight for benefits?"
Bai Yuji was stunned, her eyes suddenly turned red: "You..."
Qin Muye took her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, the master sent by Princess Di to protect me is very strong. We have just got married, and there are still many sweet days to go. I am very afraid of death."
talking.
He put his arms around Bai Yuji's waist very naturally and pinched the beauty spot on her lower back.
Bai Yuji screamed and dodged for a moment, her pretty face flushed as she rolled her eyes at him: "Are you going to die? There are people here!"
It was not until her wedding night that she discovered that her right lower back was extremely sensitive.
After Qin Muye found out, he would always tease her unintentionally when doing that.
Every time it comes to that time.
She would feel dizzy and tremble constantly.
Qin Muye smiled and said, "It's okay! She's on guard at the entrance of the canyon, more than a mile away, we can't hear her."
Bai Yuji's face turned red, almost bleeding: "But here..."
"My cape can be used as a mattress!"
"cold!"
"Beside the fire, it's not cold!"
"There are insects and ants in the valley."
"My wife is a genius Gu woman from Nanzhao, why would she be afraid of this?"
"But……"
"Miss!"
Qin Muye said pitifully: "Today is our second wedding night..."
Bai Yuji hesitated for a long time before he quietly agreed: "This place is not airtight, so we can't put up soundproofing. Please keep your voice down!"
……
Li Xingluo glanced at the iron lump next to him and curled up in the grass nest to prepare for sleep.
This iron lump is a puppet that was destroyed in the melee. Its combat effectiveness has been mostly lost, but its spirit core is intact. It can help me keep watch at night and allow me to have a good sleep.
But she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Because from what Bai Yuzhi said just now, her people have obviously taken down a totem source of Qi.
But there was no sign of fighting on her body.
The sect behind her must be very strong.
But I am well-informed, why haven’t I even heard of it?
Li Xingluo didn't understand and felt uneasy, but he would definitely not get an answer if he asked directly.
and so.
Eavesdropping?
When the young couple was whispering, they were sure to leak some information.
Li Xingluo suddenly perked up and used the excuse of going to the toilet to avoid the puppet on duty.
Then make hand gestures.
The next moment, two shadows appeared in her ears and floated silently towards the depths of the canyon.
She held her breath, concentrating fully on eavesdropping on the sect's secrets.
then……
"Madam! Your voice is a bit too loud, how about chewing a ball of cloth?"
"You're moving too much! Huh?"
"I didn't move much, I think you were just too nervous."
"How can I not be nervous when you keep looking at me? It's too bright, can you please put out the bonfire?"
"cold!"
"Then don't look at me..."
"it is good!"
"You're lying! You're still peeking. I don't want it anymore."
"No, no, no! I promise I won't watch it anymore!"
far away.
Li Xingluo: “???”
No?
The imperial examination is in progress!
This is a secret place!
In the valley!
Open air!
Do you promise not to watch it anymore?
I promised not to listen!
Finish!
Can't even sleep anymore.
