Chapter 270 War Breaks Out
The body of eternity, the eyes of the sky.
This is a new passive and new talent awakened after Taotie evolves.
Not only that, the two previous passive skills, Water Simulation: Rest and Water-repelling Spirit Scale, have also disappeared.
These two passives are racial passives generated based on the previous race. When evolving into a new race, these two skills will naturally disappear.
However, the final vortex actually survived, which is an unexpected surprise. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Eye of the Sky Mark is also a high-ranking creature of the crocodile monster.
But here is the divinity, based on Chen Xing’s observation of the divinity of different creatures during this period.
He roughly understood the relationship between divine values and enhanced characteristics.
A little divinity can condense a level 1 divinity increase.
The two points of divinity condensed into a 1.1-level divinity increase.
The effect of divine improvement is not a linear increase, but an exponential increase.
It takes ten points of divinity to condense a level 2 divinity increase.
By analogy, it is estimated that one hundred points of divinity are needed to condense a level 3 increase in divinity.
But where did these 60 points of divinity come from.
According to his understanding, can't divinity be obtained only by devouring divine creatures?
Recalling the evolutionary process just now, Chen Xing had four key suspects in his mind.
1. The undead thrown in by the Death Rat. The Death Rat is suspected to be some kind of existence that has stepped into the path of legend. The undead it carries may not be ordinary undead, but may be a part of its body.
2. The devoured giant spirit heart. The adult Maha giant spirit is a god-level existence. It seems reasonable that the giant spirit heart bred by the essence of its body after its death contains part of the divinity.
3. The red beam of light that descended from the scarlet moon tried to retreat after crushing the creature bred in the heart of the giant spirit. It seemed to have autonomous consciousness, and finally seemed to be intercepted by the world-suppressing monument.
4. The world-suppressing monument that disappears after evolution.
It is possible for all four of these suspects, and it is even possible that divinity is contributed by multiple targets.
However, compared to divinity, Chen Xing valued the emerging authority more.
According to a certain rate, the later a new panel appears, the more valuable it is.
Just the name alone arouses people's imagination.
Authority, whose authority?
Chen Xing couldn't help but think.
Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out what the power of this authority was. The authority was incomplete, not complete.
"Let's leave first. There is too much movement here, and others may come over." Qiu Shangqing said.
The eyes in the sky are very conspicuous and can probably be seen from a long distance.
It's better to leave as soon as possible.
"good."
Chen Xing also agreed that Taotie has now completed its evolution, and although its combat power has increased dramatically, it may not be able to gain favor if it faces an unknown number of enemies.
On the way, Chen Xing stopped by to check out Taotie's new talents and passives.
By looking at the panel, we can roughly figure out the effect.
The first is the passive Eternal Body, which is a constant effect similar to the law. All skills and physical damage suffered by Taotie will be greatly weakened.
The proportion of weakening has reached 10%-50%.
This value depends on the size difference between the two parties. The larger the Taotie is than the opponent, the more damage will be weakened.
Second is the Eye of the Sky, which is also the ability that Chen Xing is most interested in.
He had a hunch that this was a core ability similar to the Four Phase Dark World Gate.
Sure enough, this is a versatile ability.
There are three effects in total.
The most basic thing is the state of the Eye of the Sky that I just saw.
In this state, Taotie will gain the third perspective of God, and at the same time, under the illumination of the Eye of the Sky, Taotie's physical strength will be doubled.
At the same time, the God's perspective of the Sky Eye can see through effects such as stealth, invisibility, and disguise.
The second stage is the second state, where all units will be watched under the light of the Eye of the Sky.
When watched, the Eye of the Sky gains the ability to punish the target.
The damage of this punishment will continue to increase over time, and the Eye of the Sky can hit multiple targets at the same time, as long as the targets it looks at are within the range of being hit.
In the third stage, the Eye of the Sky will gain a more powerful striking form, but its current development level is too low. The behemoth of the Eye of the Sky in its infancy cannot allow its natural ability to enter a deeper form.
This can be regarded as making up for Taotie's long-range strike and range strike capabilities.
On the back of the ghost fire bat, Qin Xuan asked Chen Xing, "Have you prepared all the materials to control the beast and transcend it?"
Chen Xing shook his head, "I collected most of them."
Taotie also needs to take the route of Four Phases of Transcendence. Taotie naturally needs to prepare a copy of the materials he prepared for the Four Phases of Transcendence.
However, these materials are not easy to collect, especially some key core materials. Chen Xing has been offering rewards for a long time without getting any clues.
"What kind of things are missing?" Qin Xuan asked.
Chen Xing's expression moved slightly, roughly guessing what Qin Xuan meant.
So he named the four materials he needed.
Qin Xuan said: "Two of them are controlled secret treasures. They are considered strategic materials and cannot be purchased through ordinary channels, but I happen to have a way."
Chen Xing suddenly realized, no wonder he had been looking for someone at the Chamber of Commerce for so long but couldn't find any clues.
The materials needed for Four Transcendences are actually considered strategic materials.
At this time, Qiu Shangqing turned his palm over and a lump of white-gold metal appeared, "I have the material of Eight-sided Cloud Gold here, there is no need to collect it."
"Old Qiu." Qin Xuan looked at Qiu Shangqing resentfully. He wanted to sell a favor to Chen Xing.
Since seeing the evolution of Taotie, Chen Xing's importance in his mind has skyrocketed.
Although he didn't know what it evolved into, judging from the movement, it was probably at least of totem quality.
As long as he developed well, Chen Xing would definitely have a promising future, so he wanted to take the opportunity to sell a favor to Chen Xing.
Who knew that Qiu Lao would actually take away part of this favor.
Qiu Shangqing remained calm. How could he not see something that Qin Xuan, a junior, could see.
He was a little confused about the race after Taotie evolved!
He had studied crocodile beast taming for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen a beast taming of the quality of the Eye of the Sky Mark.
He suspected that it might be above the totem!
It can only be said that there may really be luck in this world. Not only did it allow him to get this level of evolution method, but it also allowed him to collect the materials needed for evolution!
Although there was a great bond between his enemy and Chen Xing, he didn't think favors were too much.
Tian Yi coughed. Actually, he could also provide a little.
Qin Xuan glared at him. If I can't control Senior Qiu, can I control you?
Tian Yi's face was bitter, but he still looked back and looked straight ahead.
Looking at his back, Qin Xuan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Xiao Tian, I remember that you should have a portion of snow ginseng liquid at home, right?"
Tian Yi was surprised at first, and then secretly happy. He didn't have snow ginseng liquid, but he could exchange it with merit in the warehouse of Jin Yewei.
"Master Qianhu, I do have a portion of snow ginseng liquid in my home." Tian Yi responded respectfully.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly. He had already mentioned it, and smart people didn't need to say more.
He didn't intend to let Tian Yi get involved, but he thought about it. Tian Yi was one of the witnesses of Chen Xing's beast control evolution after all.
If he didn't win him over to his side, if he went back and talked nonsense, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
So, Qin Xuan decided to give Tian Yi a chance and let him do a favor to Chen Xing. In this way, Tian Yi has invested in this matter, and naturally he will not be willing to disclose the secret easily before there is any output.
Blind coercion is ultimately inferior, and only the interests of the bond can last long.
After all, Chen Xing's beast evolution is a big deal, and it is too noisy. If it is spread out, it will inevitably attract the attention of countless people. Therefore, it is better to be careful and try to conceal this matter.
Chen Xing originally wanted to purchase the materials needed for transcendence from the other three people at a price higher than the market price, but the other three people were determined. Chen Xing could not refuse, and finally had to reserve the required materials from the three people at a price lower than half of the market price.
This time, the problem of the materials needed for Taotie's transcendence was solved, which made Chen Xing feel a little relieved.
One day later, the four arrived at a remote city in Fentian Territory. Qin Xuan took out the bamboo hat and put it on the three people, and then the three people went through the teleportation array several times and successfully returned to Denglong City.
The atmosphere in the city lord's mansion of the giant city of Bibo was solemn.
On the six seats, the figures were in full formation, and an emergency meeting about the Blue Shadow City incident was underway.
The Blue Shadow City incident had such a great impact and was so bad that it spread rapidly in the Bibo Territory like wildfire.
In just one day, it had become the focus of street talk.
It was obviously a carefully planned and targeted conspiracy.
In the Bibo Territory, and even in other territories, the management structure of the giant city followed a similar model - the six-seat system.
These six seats represent the highest decision-making power in the giant city, and their consensus can almost influence all important affairs of the giant city.
These six authoritative seats are occupied by the giant city lord, the temple high priest, the elder of the Senate, the commander of the giant city guard, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the representative of the family.
The identity of the city lord has the most weight among them.
Not only is he the nominal helmsman of the giant city, but he is also the representative of the overall interests of the giant city.
The city lord of the giant city is not hereditary, but is elected by the official residents of the major giant cities.
But in actual operation, when the city lord expresses his opinions and makes decisions, he is often influenced by the five major forces in the city.
The Elders' Council is a gathering place for the masters of the giant city, including representatives of some small families, and its internal composition is the most scattered and bloated. This meeting was submitted by the Elders' Council.
The destruction of a family and a city is a terrible incident that has not happened in Bibo Territory in the past 30 years.
"Have you investigated the matter of Lanying City?" Shui Wusheng, the chess player from the aristocratic family sitting in the first position on the left hand, asked the military leader.
Sai Baiqi, the military leader of Bibo Territory, is a sturdy man with a skin color as white as snow, with a head of curly blue curly hair spread out. This is the standard appearance of the local residents of Bibo Territory - blue hair and blue eyes.
"From the situation at the scene, the other party's actions were very fast and precise.
Blue Shadow City is now almost a ruin, but it is worth noting that the attackers' main target is the Dou family, and they did not carry out large-scale attacks on civilians.
This also allowed many civilians to escape.
According to our investigation and the survivors' description, the attackers wore uniforms similar to those of the Giant City Guards of Burning Sky Giant City, and the traces left by the battle in the city were mainly traces of fire skills."
Shui Wusheng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.
He spoke slowly, revealing a hint of disdain and suspicion in his voice: "This frame-up method is too obvious. If it was the Burning Sky Giant City who took action, why did they still wear the uniforms of the Giant City Guards? Isn't this telling us clearly that they did it?"
His words resonated with others present.
This is also an answer that many people agree with.
Indeed, if the Burning Sky Giant City really wanted to launch an attack, there was no need for them to reveal their identities so blatantly.
"Okay." The old woman sitting on the main seat interrupted everyone, her deep eyes flashing with solemnity on her old face full of grooves.
Han Qiling, the lord of Bibo Giant City, looked around at everyone present, "Now, is it so important that we continue to worry about who did it?"
"So many civilians in Blue Shadow City have fled, and they will spread what they have seen and experienced. Soon, the entire Bibo Territory will know that it was the giant city guards of Burning Sky City who destroyed Blue Shadow City. And there are people behind it who are adding fuel to the fire, and everyone will know that it is Burning Sky Giant City.”
"City Lord, we can take coercive measures and arrest everyone to prevent the spread of the news." Shui Wusheng suggested from below.
However, Han Qiling sighed softly and shook her head, "Then there will be news that in order to avoid a war with the Burning Sky Territory, we forcibly detained the refugees in Blue Film City and blocked the news in an attempt to block it. The mouth of the people.”
Sometimes certain things are not simply right and wrong. What you really think is not important, and what many people care about is not the real facts.
They only want to see what they see and hear what they want to hear.
When public opinion becomes a torrent, the truth is a lonely boat in the huge waves.
The conflict between their Bibo Giant City and Burning Sky Giant City is too deep.
Over the years, she has been restraining herself and constantly giving in on certain matters. Because she knew that there would be a battle between Fentian Giant City and Daxia.
In this world, the winner is the one who ends up last, so she has been avoiding participating in the war, but waiting for the opportunity.
However, excessive suppression is not a form of counterattack. Things must be counterattacked at the extreme. Although many beast masters in Bibo City are water beast masters, it does not mean that their personalities are as calm and uncontroversial as water. You know, water can be as calm as a mirror, or it can turn into a raging flood and huge waves.
Han Qiling sighed secretly in her heart, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress this popular wave. She roughly guessed the identity of the real culprit behind the scenes, but she was helpless.
If the suppression continues, it may be difficult for him to be re-elected in the city lord election a year later.
Although there are nominally two aristocratic families in Bibo Giant City, the Shui Family and the Han Family.
However, the Shui family has produced numerous talents in recent years, while the Han family has been in extreme decline. It is only by relying on himself as the city lord for three consecutive terms that he can barely maintain the reputation of the two great families.
If he steps down from the position of city lord, the situation of the Han family may fall to the bottom in an instant.
You know, the aristocratic families in Jucheng are not static.
Four hundred years ago, Bibo City had three major families like Burning Sky City, but now there are only two families left. The original Bai family was divided between the Shui family and the Han family.
If he cannot stay in the position of city lord, the Han family will also fall into the footsteps of the Bai family.
Even for the sake of her family, she must continue to hold on to this position.
Now there is a talented youngster in the family, but the growth of genius takes time, and she needs to continue to sit in the position of the city lord to protect the family from wind and rain.
So she must gain public support this time!
Han Qiling pondered for a moment and then said: "Since the Burning Sky Giant City did such a thing, don't blame us for taking revenge. Lord Sai, this matter will be left to you Giant City Guards. We must fight Our prestige comes."
"Leave it to me. Those brats below have long disliked those red-haired people." Sai Baiqi nodded in response.
The next day, Fen Tian led a city into Zeguo.
All the beast masters in the city were captured alive and brought to the giant Bibo City to be water-boarded to death in public. For a time, there were endless calls for the city lord in the giant Bibo City.
The top management of Burning Sky Giant City were stunned when they got the news. No one thought that Bibo Giant City, which had been weak for so long, would be so tough this time.
In fact, they had heard the news about Blue Cinema, but they didn't pay much attention.
After all, the impression that Big City is easy to bully has been carried out for decades. Don't say it was not done by us, so what if it was done by us.
As a result, this time the Big City of Blue Waves was so disrespectful and so ruthless in attacking without saying a word.
This made Burning Sky Giant City, who was accustomed to bullying others with power, feel unspeakable and nameless fire.
Just like a little Lese who had been bullied by herself for a long time and dared to jump up and slap herself.
Whether it is to maintain long-term hegemonic dignity or to give an explanation to the boiling public opinion below.
Burning Sky Giant City must provide reciprocal countermeasures.
But Burning Sky Giant City also feels something fishy. There is a strong conspiracy atmosphere hidden in this matter from beginning to end. Wouldn't it be just the wish of the mastermind behind the scenes if they were to go out in large numbers?
Therefore, they did not end directly. Instead, Yanxing City, a subsidiary of the Burning Sky Giant City, sent a large number of beast masters to attack the Bibo Territory.
There is also a Burning Sky Temple in Yanxing City, and the two Burning Sky Temples are closely related.
Moreover, the Burning Sky Temple has a large number of believers, which to a certain extent can represent part of the will of the Burning Sky Giant City.
Therefore, it is just right for Yanxing City to take action. It can control the scale of the war within a certain range, and there is no need for the two behemoths of Burning Sky Giant City and Bibo Giant City to completely confront each other at this stage.
Han Qiling also had this intention. What she wanted to gain was just popularity, rather than actually facing the Burning Sky Giant City head-on. This was not in the interests of the Bibo Giant City.
Limiting the war within a certain range just achieves a psychological balance.
So a "local war" broke out in an attempt to control the scale within a certain range
Chen Xing heard these news from Qiu Lao when he handed him the materials.
At the same time, there was also an analysis of some forces, which gave Chen Xing a clearer understanding of the relationship between Daxia and the major forces around Daxia.
"Qiu Lao, will this war expand?"
Qiu Shangqing did not answer yes or no, but sighed: "When the war is in the interests of more people, these people will push it into a deeper abyss. The foreign land has been peaceful for too long."
