Chapter 1346: War Breaks Out, Strategic Retreat!

The exaggerated gains brought about by bloodline mutations can be said to have directly improved all the disadvantages of the hunting tiger from the bottom of the gene, and further expanded the advantages.

It turns out that the upper limit is not high, the five dimensions are unbalanced, and the lifespan issue that mutants fear most.

These all disappeared without a trace after their bloodline mutated into war-blooded mutants.

Of course, everything always has pros and cons.

After the son of war in the golden attribute state enters the battle, although the life span of the hunting tiger is no longer deducted, and his health value is no longer affected, the negative impact of increasing the probability of continued bloodline distortion is like a more serious thunder!

And every time you enter a battle, there is a possibility of distortion. The probability is not low, the basic value is a full 1%.

This means that no matter how hard the hunting tiger tries to control it, it will definitely trigger distortions several times in the future.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Sumo couldn't figure it out yet, but he wasn't panicking at all. After all, with Yehu's current potential, he still had twelve opportunities to upgrade.

In the future, as he becomes familiar with the abilities of his bloodline (upgrades his level), his potential will definitely continue to increase.

By then, perhaps another similar upgrade will solve all the problems.

As for now, there should be no need to continue the upgrade.

It's not to control the hunting tiger, so as to prevent being unable to reward more after achieving military exploits in the future.

But the hunting tiger, whose skin color is already close to purple, has obviously reached the limit of what it can bear.

If more energy is poured into it, it might explode!

"call..."

"call..."

The exhalation mixed with substantial blood flowed out of the mouth and nose as the hunter's chest rose and fell.

It was stained on the land, leaving moist black and red traces one after another.

It smells fishy, ​​more pungent than the normal smell of blood, but the smell is not as exaggerated as in fantasy novels where the hair and marrow are cut off and all the toxins are removed from the body on the spot.

After about fifty mouthfuls of blood mist were sprayed out, Hunter Tiger's purple-red skin finally began to show signs of relief.

First, the color at the heart slowly fades, then extends along the blood vessels, and finally to the limbs.

The whole fading is over, and the second round of fading starts from the heart.

The blood mist sprayed out from the middle is getting lighter and lighter. If you don't pay attention, you might think it is mixed with dust.

After four rounds of fading, it basically returned to the original light red color of the Jaeger.

However, this is not over yet, the fading visible to the naked eye is still going on, as if all the blood of low-blood mutants is being removed from the body of the hunting tiger.

It wasn't until the skin was about to turn pale yellow that there were signs of stopping.

"Are you awake? If you are awake, don't continue to pretend to be dead on the ground." Sumo glanced sideways for a while and found that Yehu's breathing was a little disordered. His fingers on one side were slightly making famous movements, as if he was testing something.

Hey, this guy is pretty good at pretending.

"What did you do to me?" After being discovered, Yehu had no choice but to open his eyes and raise his hand curiously.

"Solve the problem, aren't you studying this?"

"This is different." Liehu sat up with a confused look on his face.

He didn't know whether it was the effect of the fading color of his skin or the feeling of physical changes that he couldn't figure out.

"Whether it's me or other mutants, the project we research is always to control the mutation speed of the source of deterioration. For example, my previous deterioration progress has reached about 60%. I just want to study to slow down this progress, even The fantasy is that the already deteriorating progress can be scaled back a bit.”

"But..." Yehu's face became increasingly strange: "Only some lunatics will continue to stimulate blood changes!"

"First of all, let me state that I am not a madman." Su Mo coughed lightly, shook the empty glass bottle in his hand, and planned to drop this topic.

He couldn't explain exactly what the liquid in the glass bottle was and how it worked.

What if there are mutants under the tiger hunter, or there is a hidden illegitimate child who wants to change the bloodline.

Even if he is willing to give up war points, the opponent still has enough potential and may not have the current distortion effect.

However, what is surprising is that Yehu did not dwell on the issue of bloodline changes, but talked about another thing.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I think there should be some secrets hidden in me that haven't been discovered yet."

"When I was in Qinggang City, I discovered that the intelligence of the mutants I often came into contact with would increase slightly. At that time, I thought this was just a natural change in their ability to communicate with others, but when they first mutated, I seem to have touched something..."

Yehu stretched out his hand and touched it in the air.

But there is no longer the special feeling of resonance between the body and genes in the moment of life and death.

"Go back and rest first. When this war is over, we will return to the territory and check it carefully." Sumo said.

"Yes, I know." Liehu nodded and took a deep look.

As for the fog on Somo, it seems that it has not become less due to in-depth contact, but has become more.

Originally, he thought that the previous promise was just a trick, but now this method can be described as terrifying.

After leaving the camp, Tuoba Chi, who was waiting outside, walked up quickly, but after seeing the obvious change in the skin color of the hunting tiger, his steps stopped.

"Master Pingtan, why has your skin changed color..."

"Ahem, is it obvious?" With the little sunlight between the clouds, Liehu looked at it for a while.

The result was sad. The light red skin seemed to be gone forever and turned into a light yellow color that was not much different from that of the Chinese.

Only when he was full of blood and energy would he return to his previous color.

But... which normal person would be full of blood and energy every day in daily life?

"This is a good thing. If you don't understand, don't say anything. You will get used to it in the future, and maybe I will turn white."

Pointing at several human captives captured in Black Stone City, one of whom was white, Liehu made a cold joke.

Tuoba Chi shrank his neck and met Liehu's murderous eyes, and dared not say anything else.

Liehu with light yellow skin?

It seems to be more harmless than before.

But for some reason, standing next to Liehu, his pressure was much greater than before.

It was like a ball of vigorous flame, burning beside him!

...

The ninth day of the three cold spring disaster.

After a whole day of cleaning the battlefield, the valuable resources in Black Stone City were basically looted.

The players of the scavenger route with vicious eyes were extremely enthusiastic. After a search, they even found the safe hidden in the underground dark room by the city lord Crespo.

Although it contained some worthless dwarven currency or records of secret transactions with the dwarven royal family, maybe it would be useful in the future?

At the same time, the dwarves in Blackstone City and the three surrounding gathering places were also captured during the cleaning process.

Not counting the first batch of runaways, nearly 7,000 dwarves were captured.

Among them, 5,500 ordinary dwarves were engaged in daily production or management, and their value was not great.

But the remaining 1,500 dwarven craftsmen made people feel a little surprised.

Even if they were placed within the dwarves, losing so many skilled craftsmen could be said to be a huge loss.

At the same time, nearly 600 human captives captured by the dwarves were rescued.

Of course, those who understand will understand when they say they are captives.

A group of traitors who cooperated with the dwarves to harm humans confessed everything without any interrogation.

"We can guarantee that we have not sold more information to the dwarves, including the situation of the major gathering places!"

"They only need us to test the human weapons we made. I was just deceived by the food and accommodation!"

"You must believe me. My cousin said that it is comfortable to work here, so I followed him."

"The dwarves locked us in the dungeon and had to work sixteen hours a day. We are victims. We definitely did not cooperate with them."

"..."

A group of people argued loudly, but they could not escape the strict cross-examination mechanism of the review team.

After almost three rounds, three groups of people were selected.

The first group took the initiative to cooperate with the dwarves.

This group of people mainly followed the master who offered the highest price. When they heard the slogan of the dwarves shouting out to recruit, they immediately ran over to cooperate.

And their work is also very simple, just need to trick more humans to come.

According to the different qualities of each person, the more skilled the professional skills are, the higher the price the dwarves will give.

There are about 60 people in this group, who are not even worthy of being taken back to Tianyuan territory to mine. It would be a waste of bullets to be shot on the spot. They are only worthy of being the death squad in the next battle to reduce the losses of the siege.

The second batch, the brainless unlucky ones.

Nearly 400 people were deceived by the promised preferential treatment, and they had no chance to escape after they found out.

The review team did not seriously ask whether these people really could not leave, or because the treatment was fake.

As long as it is verified that they were deceived, they can all enjoy the opportunity to redeem themselves.

At present, there are only less than 200 people in the Tianyuan hard labor camp, which needs fresh blood to be added.

Moreover, most of these people have mastered certain professional skills, and they may be able to enrich the production of the hard labor camp.

The third batch was also deceived, but they always planned to escape or resist.

It sounds incredible, but there are really 100 people who have such ideas.

And during the night of the siege, the chaos inside Blackstone City was also partly due to these people.

A group of people rushed out and set fire everywhere, almost setting the entire residential area on fire.

"Your crimes will be pardoned by the lord, but before that, you still have to go to the hard labor camp to atone for your crimes. This time will not be too long, it may be half a year, or it may be a year, but I can assure you here that you will have three meals a day, plenty of rest, and a decent...accommodation."

Feng Tianmin personally came to the detention center and announced the treatment of the captives.

The first batch will be sent to the death squad, the second batch to the permanent hard labor camp, and the third batch to the short-term hard labor camp.

As for the captured dwarves, 5,500 ordinary dwarves will become the front-line meat shields in the next war.

With these ordinary dwarves, the difficulty of the siege will inevitably be reduced a lot.

The other 1,500 dwarf craftsmen are treasures, all of which will be pulled back to the Tianyuan territory and locked up first.

When there is a breakthrough, it is possible that a batch can be naturalized to produce special weapons for dwarves in Tianyuan.

"Thank you for your gift!"

"We will always fight for Tianyuan and for the human Su Shen!"

"Praise God, I never thought that one day I would join Tianyuan as a captive."

"..."

Compared to working in the dwarf dungeon, the hard labor camp mentioned by Feng Tianmin is obviously a good place to go.

In terms of treatment, it is even several times better than the treatment of residents in large settlements.

Of course, this is the feeling of everyone before they have come into contact with the workload.

When the sixteen hours of work are added, it is guaranteed that within a month, all fantasies will be abandoned.

The battlefield is cleaned up and the prisoners are returned.

Before the three cold spring days are over, the expedition team launched a pursuit in the direction where the dwarves fled!

From Blackstone City, the nearest dwarf city is Ironwood City.

The straight-line distance between the two is about 350 kilometers, and there are six small settlements in between.

Although Su Mo wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to take down all these settlements and Ironwood City.

But the reality is still very cruel. The weather of minus thirty degrees not only has a serious impact on the combat effectiveness of the dwarves, but also affects the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force.

This point is reflected vividly in the gap between siege and defense.

Often, the dwarves defending the city only need to spend 20% to 30% of their energy to resist the attack.

In addition, the dwarves who escaped before had already been warned, and the major gathering places had already prepared.

As of the day before the end of the disaster, only the six scattered gathering places outside were conquered.

As for Tiemu City.

When he came to the foot of the city, he looked at the city walls that were much taller than Blackstone City, and the azure light curtain.

Su Mo decisively chose a strategic retreat and ended the expedition plan.

As soon as the temperature dropped, the dwarves would immediately recover their combat effectiveness, and the dwarf cities farther away would definitely support more troops.

Just like after the metal aging disaster in the future ruins ended, humans recovered all the previous losses in just one week.

A frontal attack is not the situation that the fledgling Tianyuan Army should face now.

Once surrounded in the heart of the dwarves, the consequences will be disastrous.

"The war has been ignited... Next, it depends on who can withstand the impact!"

After looking deeply at Tiemu City, Su Mo turned and left.

Undoubtedly, this expedition has perfectly achieved all the results expected in the early stage, and even exceeded them.

Not only did they complete the time-limited mission, but they also obtained so many war points that it was hard to believe.

But there were also some extra heart-sinking discoveries.

It seems that without the influence of the life-and-death battle between the tribes at the end of the wasteland year, the cooperation between humans and aliens is far more exaggerated than in the future ruins, and it can be said that it is almost unscrupulous.

Many humans live with aliens in order to survive, and many live better.

In their view, cooperation with aliens is their chance to rise to the top in one step.
