Chapter 1826 Self-Inflicted Soul Search

For Qu Jianlei and others, the war that was about to take place in the small world was ridiculously weak.

The entire world, at most, only had 20 to 30 foundation-building people and a population of about 100,000.

Any Yuanying in the team could defeat the entire world.

However, they really couldn't interfere and could only watch from the sidelines.

It wasn't a feeling of superiority, but mainly because the descendants of the immortal cultivators didn't care about fighting and killing each other, and they would be crossing the line if they intervened.

In theory, mobilization between wars takes a certain amount of time.

But this is a world where immortal cultivators exist, and it is very convenient to mobilize combat power and transport war supplies.

After Qu Jianlei and others discovered the signs, a small-scale battle broke out between villages on the third day.

As for the degree of cruelty... it can only be said to be extremely cruel.

The battle was quite methodical, with luring the enemy, encircling, dividing, and encircling and annihilating, and a very rich tactics.

It is worth mentioning that the luring enemy was mainly women and the old and young, dressed as young and middle-aged men.

They actually sent out the old, weak, women and children to fight. Just from this point, we can imagine that both sides are almost fighting to the death.

This is indeed the case. Most of the people on both sides of the battle were injured and refused to retreat until they breathed their last breath.

The process of the battle was also extremely tragic, and from the shouting, we can know that the two sides of the battle are sworn enemies!

Qu Jianlei was a little speechless after hearing this. How could such a tiny place accumulate such a huge hatred?

Thinking about the huge empire with boundless territory outside the Girl Star Domain, it is hard not to make him feel a little emotional.

This is "the temple is small, the demons are strong, and the pond is shallow, the turtles are many", right?

At the same time, they also observed that most of the wounded of the other side did not continue to kill them.

Only those with minor injuries insisted on fighting, and only those who were seriously injured lay on the ground and gasped for breath.

From this point of view, although the local natives are brave and fierce, their methods of treating the enemy are not cruel.

However, at the same time, the seriously injured prisoners will not receive any care.

Both sides have medicine to treat their own wounded, but the opponent's wounded can only be treated by themselves.

Even the medicines carried by the injured prisoners will be searched by the other side, and the main theme is "life and death are determined by fate".

However, even with such treatment, the paranoids also believe that the battle in this world is still restrained.

The seriously injured prisoners were not killed, let alone divided and eaten, and the level of civilization is already quite high.

Because the productivity of this world is just like that, and the practitioners with spiritual energy are actually very "replenishing".

As you can see, the two sides of the battle will drag the dead back.

They will solemnly place their own dead, and if it is the corpse of the opponent's camp, it will be hastily piled there.

By listening to the conversation of the other side, it can be learned that the corpses of these prisoners will be used to exchange for their own dead.

If there is no object to exchange, these corpses will become fertilizer for cultivating spiritual plants.

More than one local native said: spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, and useful things cannot be wasted at will.

As for those seriously injured who were lucky enough to survive, most of them were used to exchange prisoners, so they would not be killed.

However, even if there were no exchange indicators, these people would basically not be executed, but would be treated as free labor.

In short, the level of civilization here is indeed acceptable, and those brutal measures are mainly due to the influence of the environment.

However, this is only the situation at the beginning of the battle.

As time goes by, more and more people are involved in the war, and the number of participants has reached more than 40,000.

Both camps are almost all soldiers, and the other three towns are also involved to varying degrees.

But generally speaking, these three towns are just taking advantage of the fire.

On the sixth day of the battle, foundation-building cultivators began to die.

The foundation-building cultivators here are called ancestors, and the ancestors who did not die on the spot generally choose to commit suicide!

The sense of honor of the top combat power makes them unable to accept living in disgrace.

It was a battle involving only tens of thousands of people, but they fought a tragic battle of "both sides were destroyed".

By the eleventh day of the war, the death toll had exceeded ten thousand, and there were even more injured.

Jing Yuexin couldn't help but say, "How much hatred do these immortal cultivators have?"

For her who had experienced fighting with alien races, she really didn't understand this kind of war situation.

As descendants of immortal cultivators, how could the hatred be so great?

However, as the battle became more and more tragic, more and more fish slipped through the net.

The paranoid man couldn't help but suggest, "Boss, now find two seriously injured guys and search their souls... Is that okay?"

Don't say it, Qu Jianlei was really tempted.

This is a good life, you don't know how to cherish it, so why can't you give it to us?

At first, he was a little hesitant about this suggestion.

However, as the battle became more and more intense, many wounded will be put back on the battlefield after simple treatment.

Seeing this, Qu Jianlei finally convinced himself-if you don't care about it, you can't blame others for using it!

Next, they quietly sneaked into the battlefield, selected four seriously injured soldiers, and quietly abducted them.

It is said that the cultivators in the foundation-building stage would know more, but everyone still chose the cultivators in the Qi-refining stage.

The cause and effect of the foundation-building period may be significant. The key is that each foundation-building period is an important existence in both camps.

That is really "see the person alive and see the body dead". Even if it is a self-rage, an explanation must be given.

Qu Jianlei and his team did not want to attract any attention, so the Qi Refining period was just right.

However, in order to get more information, they deliberately chose those who seemed to have extraordinary status.

However, such a choice led to some minor troubles - the more noble the status, the more fearless they are.

Qu Jianlei and his team were originally thinking about pretending to be passers-by, treating the other party a little, and then finding out the news.

After all, there is no hatred or resentment, so why start soul searching right away?

Unfortunately, the local natives are really tough.

Among the four people, two of them only have one breath left, and they can't hold on for long.

But even so, they are still highly vigilant against the rescuers, and they are a little better, and they actually attack them.

No matter how much Qu Jianlei and his team explained, the other party ignored them.

One of them even said, "Unless you help us win the battle, you definitely have ulterior motives!"

Strictly speaking, this request is not outrageous - you have to prove that you have no hostility towards us!

However, how could Qu Jianlei and the others agree?

This is obviously a layout of the powerful. If they understand the situation a little, the problem will not be big and the nature is not serious.

But if you insist on entering the layout of the powerful and rashly choose a camp, what is the difference between that and courting death?

Since you are determined to die, don't blame us... Qu Jianlei had to give up the idea of ​​doing work.

The results of soul searching showed that these natives are indeed descendants of immortal cultivators!

In their memories, there were powerful ancestors who could call the wind and rain and fly into the sky and hide in the ground.

It's just that for some unspeakable reasons, they were left in this small world.

Yes, these people also know that they are in a small world, and they don't know when they can go to the big world.

At the same time, they also understand that the spiritual energy of the small world is gradually drying up and is gradually moving towards the "End of the Dharma Era"!

When they first entered the small world, there were only more than 3,000 people in total.

These people were divided into more than 50 small families, and there were hundreds of lonely ghosts.

Thousands of years later, these small families gradually multiplied, developed and grew stronger, and they also experienced various integrations and mergers during this period.

Under such circumstances, it is rare that the population can still grow to about 100,000 people.

However, as the population expanded, the disputes over interests became more and more serious, and wars broke out.

Although such a population size can be described as "war", it is really not up to the table.

But if you think about the fights between the villages of Jiaobenji, they will be described as "Warring States", which is not too strange.

Here, there is another big background. As the spiritual energy withers day by day, wars are becoming more and more frequent.

In the impression of these cultivators, there have been amazing people in the small world.

Some of them are young and energetic, or they have little time left, and they have tried to break through the boundary membrane and find a new world.

But unfortunately, they all failed without exception.

Outside the small world, there is the fierce "Nine Heavens Gale", which is too strong for a person with a slightly weaker cultivation.

Some people have returned to the small world safely after exploring the outside world, which shows how bad the outside environment is.

So the people in the small world are increasingly aware that they were abandoned in this world by their ancestors.

Since the exploration outside is blocked, it is a normal reaction to turn the attention back to the inside.

Of course, not everyone is only keen on competing for internal resources.

For thousands of years, more than one force has claimed that after unifying the small world, they will gather all their strength to explore the outside world.

There is certainly nothing wrong with this reason. Only by gathering all their strength can the human race better explore the outside world.

The problem is: who should lead this matter!

Anyway, the small world has been fighting to this extent, which has seriously restricted their development of the outer part of the small world.

According to the memories of these people, the population of the small world was as high as 130,000 or 140,000 people.

Now there are only about 100,000 people, which is enough to show the impact of long-term war on human society.

After searching the souls of the four people, everyone was a little speechless: So this place is also abandoned by the immortal cultivators?

However, Jiao Daoren didn't think so. He thought, "It is impossible that a great power set up a large formation just to protect them!"

"If you want to protect them, it's better to pack them up and take them back to the immortal world."

"With only a few thousand people, they can't even fill the portable cave, why bother to set up a large formation?"

The one who set up this large formation must be at least a great power at the out-of-body level, so it shouldn't be so boring, right?
