Chapter 25 Human Race's Dilemma

Lu Qingshan and the nine hundred and ninety-nine human monks experienced space changes during the teleportation of spiritual light. After a short while, they were directly teleported from the square to a mountain peak closest to Yumen Pass.

Yumen Pass stood in front of them.

At a glance, it is different from the city gates in the mortal world. Yumen Pass, as a pass to resist the demons, was built by the human race's overhaul with the power to move mountains and seas, and its majesty is unimaginable.

Neatly cut iron meteorites are piled up one by one to form a majestic city wall, which is hundreds of feet high. There are array patterns engraved on it. From a distance, it looks majestic like a mountain, entrenched like a crouching dragon, majestic and beautiful.

Yumen Pass, after thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, and repeated attacks by the demons, many messy traces have appeared on the city walls.

But it still stands in the Tianshan Mountains, standing in front of the abyss, suppressing everything, cutting off the road of the demons, and it has a bit more historical sense, as if telling people the magnificence and glory of this grand pass in the East. bustling.

"This is Yumen Pass..." Lu Qingshan murmured.

"The newcomer is here." There were shouts one after another.

The next moment, a dozen or so monks in black armor appeared in front of them.

The leading monk had a scar on his face, which looked ferocious and ferocious.

This caused many monks to look sideways, with strange expressions in their eyes.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm just puzzled, because with the magic of a monk, even severed limbs can be reshaped, so how can there be scars on the face?

The scarred monk seemed to have seen the surprise in the newcomer's eyes, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he smiled boldly: "Little guys, are you wondering why there is such a scar on my face?"

After a pause, Brother Scar revealed the answer and proudly said: "This is left by the soldier demon!"

Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and he immediately understood why Brother Scar was so proud.

Just like the existence at the top of the food chain, the fewer the number.

Soldiers are the most noble bloodlines among the demon clan, correspondingly, the total number of soldiers and demons is actually not that many.

Although it is said that the Eastern Territory is fighting against the Warrior Demon Clan, in fact, most of the time, the Eastern Territory cultivators encounter the Demon Clan affiliated with the Warrior Demon Clan.

And the scarred monk in front of him,

Not only did he meet the soldiers and demons, but he was able to appear in front of them alive, the meaning of which can be understood after a little thought.

In Yumen Pass, killing soldiers and monsters is the most supreme feat! How can you not be proud?

"The weapons held by the soldiers and demons all contain indestructible demonic energy. Once they are cut on your body, it is almost impossible for you to get rid of these demonic energy."

Cultivator Scar looked at the newcomers in front of him, explained one more sentence, and said with a grin: "That is to say, the wounds caused by the soldiers are tantamount to wounds that cannot be healed, and will last forever.

And every once in a while, the devilish energy attached to the wound will erupt, making you miserable. "

That's why the scar on his face was there all the time - it wasn't there on purpose, it was just helpless.

And just behind such a calm sentence, one can imagine how much pain the scarred monk in front of him has endured because of this wound.

"Let's not talk about what's there and what's not," Brother Scar shouted loudly: "Newcomers, if you want to enter Yumen Pass, you must first have your own identity imprint..."

As he said that, a hazy, illusory crystal card appeared in his hand, and then the scarred male cultivator casually pointed at a newcomer cultivator, "Come out."

The newcomer who was pointed at by Brother Scar quickly took a step forward.

The male cultivator with the scar handed the illusory crystal card in his hand to the newcomer, "Into the crystal card, probe into your spiritual consciousness."

According to his instructions, the novice monk probed into his spiritual consciousness into the crystal tablet.

The next moment, the crystal tablet suddenly glowed, and then its shape twisted strangely and changed rapidly, forming a dragon-shaped light and shadow. After circling in the air, it finally turned into a charming "Xia" character.

"If you are a sect monk or a family monk, before you come to Yumen Pass, your family or sect should give you a token representing your sect or family identity, and you can just put your mark on the token.

If it's a casual cultivator, tell me, we provide special tokens for casual cultivators here. Cultivator Scar said again.

The newcomer monk picked up by the scar-faced monk was not a casual cultivator. He immediately took out a sect token from the storage ring, and then pressed the word "Xia" into the token.

There was a flash of brilliance on the token, which seemed to be the same as before, but in fact it was a lot more.

"Tokens imprinted with identity will have three important functions.

First, it will serve as your identity certificate for entering and exiting Yumenguan, the other six mountains, and even Tianhe City, and it will be completely bound to you.

Only you can use the special features of this token.

Second, it will also record your achievements on the battlefield outside the territory and convert them into military achievements, so that you can check them at any time.

But you have to remember that you need to carry the token imprinted with your identity with you.

Because once you put the tokens into the storage ring, it will no longer be able to record your achievements, and you won't be able to claim your military achievements, so you can't blame me.

Finally, in this identity imprint, there is also a treasure trove of spiritual materials that can be exchanged for combat achievements, and you can also probe into your spiritual sense to check it at any time. "Scar monk introduced the function of the token in detail.

This illusory crystal card called the identity mark is actually a kind of spiritual technique researched by the spiritual practice of Tianji Temple.

And its three functions all have extremely important practical significance, especially the ability to record records.

Because battle merit is the most important reward for monks to kill demons, and it is also an important motivation for monks to risk life and death to enter and exit battlefields outside the territory.

However, monks often act alone. When counting military exploits, how to count them, as well as the possible problems of overreporting and false reporting must be resolved.

On the human side, the counting method at the beginning is that after the monk kills the demons, he needs to remove the eyeballs of the killed demons and bring them back as a proof.

But later, the human race found that in many cases, the battle between the monks and the demons was often a life-and-death fight, and they couldn't hold back at all, and they couldn't leave the dead bodies of the demons.

Especially Faxiu, when a thunderbolt strikes, the demons are often reduced to ashes directly, not to mention the eyeballs, not even a hair is left. Doesn't this mean that the demon has been killed for nothing?

And if the monks tied their hands and feet in order to keep the corpses of the demons, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to dying.

Furthermore, in many cases, monks often have to leave quickly because they don't have time to clean up the battlefield.

In the end, there were also some unscrupulous human monks who used fake demon eyeballs to defraud them of military exploits.

Based on the above situations, the overhaul of Tianji Temple has created a new spiritual technique, which is specially used to solve this problem, and in the subsequent continuous improvement, many new functions have been added, and finally it has become what it is today.

According to Lu Qingshan's understanding, this is actually a personal "database" that you carry with you.

...

After the scar male cultivator introduced the function of the identity mark, the dozen or so black black armored monks began to issue identity marks to the newcomers present in an orderly manner.

Lu Qingshan soon received his own identity mark, and then quietly imprinted the mark on the Sword Sect Token given by Xixiang.

"Put your spiritual sense into the token and have a try." After seeing that all the newcomers had their own identity tokens, the scarred monk said again.

Lu Qingshan did as he said.

The next moment, several lines of ancient Chinese characters flying around in the air came into his eyes.

Identity - blank

Zongmen---Jianzong

Permission ---- E (To be promoted to the next level "D", you need to accumulate more than 100 military exploits.)

War exploits ---- zero

This information is his personal data.

But above the identity column, it was blank.

This is because due to various special circumstances, it is often necessary for human monks to hide their identities.

Therefore, Yumenguan will not directly ask the identity of the newcomer monks, and they will write the identity name themselves.

Of course, you can even write a pseudonym, but after this, that pseudonym will become your code name in Yumen Pass.

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment, and finally wrote his real name behind the identity.

Identity---Lu Qingshan.

...

Below your profile, there is also a list called Treasures.

Lu Qingshan's spiritual sense casually scanned through it, and he immediately opened the list.

"Spells", "Cultivation Techniques", "Spiritual Materials", "Magic Utensils", "Spiritual Pills", "Secret Techniques", and "Auxiliary Types", a total of seven categories are printed in the eyes, and they are very divided. organized.

Under each major category, there are many sub-categories. For example, under the category of "Magic Artifacts", there are so-called "Defensive Magical Artifacts", "Attack Magical Artifacts", "Auxiliary Magical Artifacts", etc., which are extremely rich.

In each sub-category, the spiritual objects included are even more amazing and dazzling.

Every spiritual item can be exchanged through military exploits.

Lu Qingshan clicked on the auxiliary category, and there were countless catalogs and corresponding text descriptions in front of him.

But most of the catalogs are gray, this is because his authority is not enough - the more precious the spiritual object, the higher the authority level required to exchange it.

In these gray catalogs, there are the things that Lu Qingshan values ​​most.

"Spirit crystal---one out of ten combat achievements (requires D-level authority)"

A spirit crystal, to him, is 50,000 experience points.

But at Yumen Pass, one spirit crystal needs ten battle merits, that is to say, every point of battle merit can be converted into five thousand experience points.

This is why in the previous life, seven mountains and one river would become a treasure for leveling in the eyes of players.

 …

Lu Qingshan quickly came to his senses after browsing through the treasure house list briefly.

This is because the first time was born and the second time was familiar. He had read this treasure house list countless times in his previous life, but looking at it now, there is actually not much novelty.

But other novice monks don't have the experience of Lu Qingshan. For them, all of this is full of novelty and surprises. Looking at the huge treasure house, they are completely shocked and dazzled. god.

The scarred male cultivator was not in a hurry, he just stood there with a smile, waiting quietly for everyone's novelty to pass.

After another quarter of an hour, most of the newcomers drew their attention from the treasure house.

"Look over here, everyone. Next, I will take you to have a brief understanding of Yumen Pass and the situation on the battlefield outside the territory." The scarred male cultivator slightly raised his voice, and said with a smile: "You all come with me."

 …

Under the leadership of Dao Scar Nanxiu, everyone was finally able to enter Yumen Pass.

They were first brought to the tall city walls of Yumen Pass.

Here, there is a large area to overlook the situation outside the city wall.

It was a desolate, blood-colored area, with no end in sight at a glance, so large that it was unimaginable.

"The area you are looking at is the extraterritorial battlefield, and there are countless demons in it. As long as the human race leaves Yumen Pass and enters the extraterritorial battlefield, they may be attacked by demons at any time.

This is the place where the human race produces the most powerful people, and of course, it is also the cruel place where the most human monks are killed and injured. "

"And if you go all the way to the depths of the extraterritorial battlefield, after you go to the end, you can see a space passage about a hundred miles long and ten miles wide.

Through that space passage, you can enter the territory of the abyssal soldiers and demons. "The man with the scar said calmly.

"It's a pity that our human race doesn't have the strength to counterattack into the abyss.

In fact, most of this extraterritorial battlefield is under the control of the demons.

Our human race has only established a dozen small city gates on the battlefield outside the territory with great difficulty, as a bridgehead to prevent the demons from directly killing Yumen Pass without warning.

Next, after you are familiar with the general situation, you can go to those small city gates on your own and kill demons! "The scarred male cultivator looked at the desolate land in the distance, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

"The first and most important thing you have to remember is that on the battlefield outside the territory, danger exists all the time. As long as you leave the pass, you have to be vigilant and don't be careless.

In history, it once happened that some monks were attacked and killed by shadow demons just three miles away from the city gate of Yumenguan. "

hiss--

The novice monks couldn't help but gasp when they heard the words.

Three miles is not a long distance even for mortals, but it is one step for monks.

And in the area three miles away from Yumen Pass, there are shadow demons who dare to lurk?

What kind of audacity are the demons? What kind of terrifying place is this extraterritorial battlefield?

"In addition, the demons will launch a large-scale battle every ten years, launching attacks on all the small city gates and Yumen Pass established by our human race. That is the most tragic time," said the scar male repair and the newcomers Talking about the cruelty of war, "In every large-scale battle, our human race must suffer heavy casualties."

"Because, in terms of strength, the demon race is actually far superior to our human race!" the scarred male cultivator said in a deep voice.

For this situation, more than half of the thousand new monks knew it well, but there were also some people who were not very clear about the situation, and their faces suddenly showed shocking expressions.

Seeing this scene, the scarred male cultivator couldn't help sighing, and said slowly: "Although he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is true, the demon race has always been stronger than our human race.

The reason why our human race was completely defeated back then was because the forces of the major sects of the human race were not twisted together.

In fact, the essential reason is that the power gap is too large.

Because, in terms of splitting, the situation of the demon race is much more serious than that of our human race, but even so, they still had the strength to crush us..."

All the newcomers were silent, and their breathing became short of breath.

"That's why Xia Daozu wanted to establish the Great Xia, in order to gather the strength of our human race.

After all, the strength is far inferior to that of the demons. If we are not united, we humans will simply surrender and admit defeat. The scarred male cultivator continued, showing the plight of the human race to these newcomers nakedly.

"In addition, as far as our Tianshan extraterritorial battlefield is concerned, Yumen Pass is nothing more than that. After all, almost 80% of the human race major repairs in the entire Eastern Region are gathered here, and there is also the senior Qingyun Sword Immortal of the Sword Sect.

Therefore, the demons have always had nothing to do with us, and Yumenguan will not sacrifice too much in every battle.

However, the situation of the other dozens of small city gates is not so optimistic, and it is not an exaggeration to call it tragic. "

"Fifty percent!" The scarred male cultivator stretched out his right hand to the newcomers, "This is the casualty rate of monks in small city gates in every large-scale battle!"

"How could it be so high?" A newcomer couldn't help exclaiming, unbelievable.

"This is the conspiracy of the demons. They are clearly far superior to us, but every time they attack a small city gate of our human race, the force they dispatch is just one line stronger than ours.

In evenly matched battles, casualties are often the heaviest. "

"Ah, why is that?"

The expressions of most of the newcomers have become much more solemn, obviously aware of the plot of the demons, but there are still a few monks who have not turned their heads.

The scarred male cultivator didn't take it seriously, and explained patiently: "Because the demons understand that if they send out more people than us, we will give up those small gates..."

"And the demons want us to desperately defend those small city gates, so as to constantly consume our vital strength."

"But aren't the demons also consuming their own power?" Someone asked again.

"It's different, because the demon race is completely different from us," the scarred male cultivator said in a deep voice, "The strength of our human monks is obtained by those with spiritual roots after a long period of practice, and it needs to be accumulated slowly. .

But the power of the demons comes from their blood. As long as they continue to give birth, they can continuously cultivate demon warriors.

However, once the number of these powerful demon warriors is too large, the abyss world will not be able to bear it, and it will start to go barren, dilapidated and destroyed. This is why they want to invade the sky of our human race.

And the small city gates that attacked us, for the demons, not only can consume our vitality, but also eliminate the number of demons that they have already overloaded.

This kind of loss is completely beneficial and harmless to them. "

"If things go on like this, the growth rate of our human monks can't keep up with the rate of wear and tear, and we will only become weaker and weaker." The scarred male cultivator said, "This is exactly what the demons want."
