Chapter 396: Fire Spirit Incarnation
Just when Xiao Jie was lamenting how easy it was to make money, Fenglinhuoshan and his group had already left Zhenhun Pass, crossed the endless ancient battlefield, and returned towards Longhua Prefecture.
"Haha, I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Boss, your plan is really great. It easily resolves the potential threat of Long Xiang. That Yin Yue Sui Feng is really greedy for money. He dares to make the decision on such a big alliance." A player couldn't help but complain.
Fenglinhuoshan sneered and said, "Haha, do you think that was Yinyue Suifeng's personal opinion? You are overthinking it.
Long Xiang had no intention of intervening in the war, otherwise you would think that he could form an alliance with 50 million.
I think Long Xiang’s president has probably already made arrangements.”
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Didn't that mean the 50 million was wasted?"
"Not really. At least I have found out Long Xiang's attitude and given him a shot of prevention. Otherwise, it would always be a worry. It's not bad to spend a little money to buy peace of mind."
Fenglinhuoshan obviously didn't care much about the 50 million he spent. Compared with the hegemony of the Aoao Niubi Empire, this price was nothing.
The alliance is not only the will of the An Guild, but also the will of the An allies. Now the only force capable of intervening in the civil war in Longhua Province has been dealt with. The general trend is set, and the allied guilds are not afraid that they will continue to be indecisive. Next, no one can stop the Aoao Niubi Empire's action to unify Longhua.
Thinking proudly in his heart, he did not forget to inform the president that the operation was successful.
Fenglinhuoshan: Boss, it’s been done.
Supreme Emperor: Well done, second brother. Now we have no worries in our action of unifying the nine provinces. The First Dynasty no longer has a chance.
Fenglinhuoshan: Boss, the First Dynasty will not surrender. I think they will most likely seek external assistance. It will probably be the Wind Clan or the Eternal Kingdom. Currently, only these two guilds still have some strength.
Supreme Emperor: Haha, of course I know that those guys in the First Dynasty will not give up so easily. After all, if they can become the Lord of Kyushu and the living king of mankind, they can obtain the [Mandate of Heaven] and become the so-called True Dragon Emperor... If I were you, I would not be willing to give up either.
The true dragon emperor is just talk in reality, but in the story background of this game, there is such a thing.
Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the King of Men, once they achieve success, they can obtain great benefits. Although such benefits cannot be fully confirmed, they can be discovered from some records about the biographies of emperors of the ancient Longhua Empire in the game.
Legend has it that all the emperors of the Longhua Empire had "true dragon blood" in their bodies and were the so-called true dragon emperors.
Moreover, since the founding of the country, it has had the "Mandate of Heaven" on it. No matter how big the crisis or how terrible the enemy, it can always turn danger into safety and turn disaster into blessing. It is really magical.
It was not until the last Dragon Emperor went mad and killed his own guardian dragon, thus destroying the empire's destiny, that the country was subsequently destroyed.
These benefits are no less valuable than the illusory and aimless pursuit of immortality.
The most important thing is that for the supreme emperor, becoming a king or an emperor is much more attractive than cultivating immortals.
As long as you can obtain [Destiny], you can not only achieve imperial hegemony in the game, but you can also try it in real life.
Even if you can't become an emperor, you can still create an unprecedented business empire.
Fenglinhuoshan: Then boss, you...
Supreme Emperor: I have contacted the presidents of the Wind Clan and the Eternal Kingdom. If the First Dynasty really spends money to hire external forces, it will be a good opportunity to teach them a lesson on what it means to think three steps ahead before taking one step.
Fenglinhuoshan: What if they turn against us?
Supreme Emperor: No, I have already contacted the presidents of those two guilds in real life and signed a well-paid business agreement with them. Unless they want to go bankrupt, they can only do as I say.
Moreover, I have already bribed six of the twelve captains of the First Dynasty. After the war begins, I will directly destroy their command system. No matter how the First Dynasty struggles, they are bound to lose.
When you come back, we will immediately launch a new round of guild wars and eliminate them within three days.
Fenglinhuoshan: I understand.
Fenglinhuoshan closed the private message and smiled helplessly. The boss's way of spending money was much crazier than his. It was estimated that all these arrangements would cost at least 100 or 200 million yuan.
However, the founders of the Aoao Niubi Empire are all wealthy people, and any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
At this moment, fog suddenly filled the air around them.
An Onmyoji following the team suddenly accelerated and rushed to the side of Fenglinhuoshan, and said worriedly: "Boss, something is wrong. I feel a strong gathering of Yin energy."
"Boss, look!" the general in charge of clearing the way suddenly shouted loudly.
On the ground in front of me, I saw withered arms constantly emerging from the ground.
The ground was churning, and resurrected zombies kept coming out from the ground.
Looking around again, zombies, resurrected empire soldiers, ghosts, and skeletons emerged densely, as if they appeared out of thin air.
These monsters let out meaningless wails, wandered around like headless flies at first, and then, as if attracted by something, they walked towards the direction of Zhenhun Pass.
However, when these undead spirits sensed that there were living people nearby, they rushed towards them again.
"Go around it." Fenglinhuoshan said hurriedly.
The five people walked around the group of zombies and prepared to speed up and leave. However, they didn't know what happened. They looked around and saw only undead. There was no way to go.
"Oh no, what should we do, President? How about we go back to the Soul-Suppressing Pass and hide there?"
Fenglinhuoshan took a look at the road back and shook his head decisively.
"It's too far, we can't go back. Haha, actually there's no need to go through so much trouble. Today I'll let you see the magic of this five-colored magic stone. The strong dragon flipping over thing is only a half-method. It's a waste of this treasure to use it.
Now that it has fallen into my hands, I can make the best use of it. Get off your horse and protect me!"
Five men jumped off their horses at the same time, and four of them protected Fenglinhuoshan on all sides.
Fenglinhuoshan first gave each of the four people a fire-avoiding spell.
Then he began to chant and cast spells.
The secret technique of the five elements - the rain technique!
The sky was already covered with dark clouds, which suddenly turned into cold rain and began to pour down heavily.
However, no matter how heavy the rain is, it will not cause any harm.
But the four of them did not ask any more questions, they just kept killing the monsters that rushed towards them.
Seeing the ground filled with rain water, Fenglinhuoshan cast a spell again.
The magic of the Five Elements, the magical power of Taoism, the combination of water and fire, the reversal of the Five Elements - the art of reversing water and fire!
The puddles of water all over the ground instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Under normal circumstances, this spell can only be used to resist damage from water or fire spells, but with the blessing of the five-colored magic stone, it instantly undergoes a qualitative change.
The rain on the ground immediately burned like gasoline.
This is the magic of the five-colored stone equipment special effect [Five Elements Life].
The flames instantly burned hundreds of undead souls into ashes in the sea of fire. However, the tide of evil had already begun at this time, and undead souls continued to emerge from the surroundings. The sea of fire could only temporarily keep a few people safe.
"President, there are still monsters spawning around."
“Haha, don’t be afraid, no matter how many you swipe, I’m not afraid.” Fire of the Five Elements, listen to my orders, receive my divine thoughts, creation rises, Zhurong ordered, incarnate into a fire spirit—the fire spirit incarnation method!
The surrounding sea of fire seemed to be attracted by something and rushed towards Fenglinhuoshan frantically. The flames swirled around him, forming a huge vortex of fire. His body also began to burn, expanding rapidly like flames, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a flaming giant more than ten meters tall.
Fenglinhuoshan (Giant Fire Spirit Form): Level 39, HP 3795.
Fenglinhuoshan looked at the huge fire spirit he had transformed into, and was quite excited by its mighty appearance that looked like a demon. In the past, when he used this method of fire spirit transformation, he could only transform into an ordinary fire spirit that was five or six meters tall.
Now with the five elements of spiritual essence added by the five-colored divine stone, plus the raging sea of fire generated by the five elements, the effect of this incarnation is simply a rebirth.
“Hahahaha, this is the ultimate form of the Five Elements Heavenly Master. Follow me, let’s fight our way out!”
As he spoke, he rushed towards the north, activated the flaming halo, and exhaled flaming air, advancing straight through the tide of corpses like a fire demon. Wherever the flames passed, the skeleton zombies burned to ashes, and ghosts and evil spirits scattered in panic, fearing that they would collide with their souls.
The four men hurriedly followed behind...
------
At this moment, the Zhenhun Pass in the distance is closed.
Xiao Jie looked at the sudden fire in the distance in surprise, thinking that it was probably Fenglinhuoshan. Xiao Jie directly used the Eagle Eye Technique, and the scene in the distance suddenly became clear.
Seeing the fire giant that was unparalleled in the zombie swarm, the giant was so huge, and with flames rising all over his body, it was clearly visible even from the city wall thousands of meters away.
What a powerful spell!
Xiao Jie sighed slightly.
It seems that this five-colored stone really plays a role when it falls into Fenglinhuoshan's hands.
The Five Elements Heavenly Master combined with the five-colored stones is like adding wings to a tiger.
But he did not lose out either. As long as he could collect three dragon balls and gain the power to transform into a real dragon, he would become even more powerful.
Xiao Jie opened the equipment bar, looked at the two dragon balls in the accessories column, and thought to himself.
As equipment alone, these two dragon balls are also quite powerful. With the blessing of the dragon balls, his mana value has exceeded one thousand points.
As a wizard, I am finally qualified.
The black dragon ball's water-controlling magic can be combined with the dragon-walking technique to double its power.
But compared to the power of a real dragon, this is nothing.
But this third dragon ball may be a bit difficult to deal with.
Xiao Jie could actually take a gamble and see if the two dragon balls could accumulate enough to generate 100 true dragon essences - this was not impossible.
But now there is no urgent pressure, so he does not plan to do so. Three dragon balls are enough to control it. Otherwise, if his essence is not enough but his golden elixir is perfected, he will only be able to face the Red Dust Master with his mortal body.
Therefore, my main goal next is to find a way to get the last dragon ball.
As for where to do it, he already has an idea.
Plan 1 is to contact other guilds that want to slay dragons and build a country. As long as they slay dragons, they will definitely get dragon balls. For players who don't have the right degree, dragon balls are just good equipment. The value is not too outrageous, and there is still a chance to get them.
Plan 2, he thought of Haomie's Dragon Slayer professional advancement task. Since the Dragon Slayer makes a living by slaying dragons, he might have dragon balls in his hands. It would be a good opportunity for him to help Haomie complete the professional task and see if he can get a dragon ball at the same time. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Relatively speaking, I feel that option 2 is more reliable.
"Haomie, when do you plan to do your Dragon Slayer mission? How about getting ready and we can help you complete the mission first."
Before Haomie could even open his mouth, someone started to get anxious.
"Brother Suifeng, you promised to help me fight the Sword Demon. I have completed the task and now I just need to collect the reward."
"And there is also the advancement mission of my guardian giant. Brother Feng, you said you would help me find clues." I Yuchengxian also interrupted.
"Don't worry, don't worry. We all have a share. Let's make a list of the urgency of each task and complete them one by one in order."
As several people were talking, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, those monsters are coming towards the city gate!"
Several people hurriedly looked outside the city, and sure enough, they saw that various undead monsters outside the city had gathered into a huge tide of corpses, rushing towards the direction of Zhenhun Pass, just like the original scene.
The soldiers on the city wall were already in full battle readiness, and ready for battle. The exorcists from the Chunyang Society and the psychics from the Taiyin Society were also already in position and began casting spells to ward off the enemy.
All NPCs' actions were carried out step by step and seemed extremely skilled.
Some players also rushed onto the city wall, ready to join the battle. After all, it is relatively safe to kill monsters standing on the city wall. It can not only gain experience but also some reputation.
"Let's help too, and gain some experience."
Everyone was happy to gain some experience.
It was still safe to fight on the city wall, and we finally managed to repel the tide of zombies.
Xiao Jie and others went down the city wall and were about to leave.
A soldier ran over and clasped his fist towards Xiao Jie.
"My brave man, my captain invites you to come over and talk."
A few minutes later, Xiao Jie saw the old captain with a tired look on his face on the city wall at the city gate.
"Old General, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I heard that you guys have done something big in Luoyang Town, even occupying Luoyang City. When will you come to Zhenhunguan?"
Xiao Jie was stunned. "Why do you say that, old general? We in Longxiang Country have always put people first. Luoyang City was chosen by the city lord and the people of the city. We have no intention of attacking the city."
"Oh, why are you so modest? I mean, whenever you come to Ghost Mist Ridge, you should put people first. This Soul-Calming Pass is in urgent need of reinforcements. If you can occupy the Soul-Calming Pass as well, that would be great."
Xiao Jie was speechless. He didn't expect that the old general would mean this.
The old lieutenant seemed to be selling something. "This Soul-Calming Pass is the gateway to Fengyin State, a place that must be fought for by military strategists. If we hold this pass, the west of Fengyin State will be impregnable. If Longxiang State really wants to establish a country and fight for hegemony, this Soul-Calming Pass must be taken."
Xiao Jie ignored the old lieutenant's sales pitch and asked, "Isn't it difficult at the Soul-Calming Pass recently?"
The old lieutenant sighed, "It's not just difficult, it's almost crumbling. If not for the many people who have returned home recently, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hold on.
Although there were assistance from the Taoist priests of the Chunyang Dharma Assembly and the Taiyin Dharma Assembly, the city would be lost if it was not defended for too long. The supplies and manpower for defending the city were almost at their limit.
And the Ghost Mist Ridge Tide has been happening very frequently recently, and it feels like something bad is going to happen."
He sighed for a while, then suddenly raised his head and glared, "I'm asking you guys whether you want to occupy the Soul-Calming Pass or not? If you want to occupy the land, I will definitely cooperate."
