Chapter 283 Different Choices
;Besides, the imitation purple bamboo sword shuttle is the work of Dawu craftsmen, and is produced by Dawu itself, not a fairy mountain weapon.
Before, few weapons other than fairy mountain weapons could hurt the strange creatures.
Many craftsmen used purple bamboo to imitate weapons, which could guarantee the killing of blood strange creatures, but they had never been verified on virtual strange creatures.
At present, Su Yulou's battle results have proved that this purple bamboo sword shuttle can kill virtual strange creatures even if it is a disposable item.
This is undoubtedly a blood profit.
From today on, this imitation purple bamboo sword shuttle will become one of the standard weapons for Dawu Wuzun.
Most of the Wuzun have their own weapons, but the guy who eats can't be thrown out casually.
And the sword shuttle is originally used for throwing, so it doesn't matter if you throw it and run away in an emergency.
As long as it can play a little unexpected role when facing virtual strange creatures and demon kings, it is worth it.
…
The news about the battle in Beimo City and Su Yulou's victory in killing three virtual ghosts in one fell swoop soon spread to other blessed cities through the fairy mountain.
This made the people of Dawu very excited.
Although they were also facing the attack of a large number of ghosts, at least they had a good start, right?
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Ke did not intervene in the battle at the first time and only provided logistical support.
Compared with him taking action, the people of Dawu need to establish their confidence in the enemy.
Moreover, with the blessed city, the whole Dawu has formed a seemingly leaky but actually integrated large network.
They can rely on the blessed city to instantly complete the mobilization of a large number of personnel and materials and share the battle situation in time.
As long as the ghosts cannot defeat the defense of the Dawu people at one time, they can only struggle and die in this big network.
Then can they succeed? Obviously not.
As long as Gu Ke still exists, Dawu has the last bottom line and cannot be defeated.
Everything that happened before this, whether winning or losing, does not play a decisive role.
Of course, he didn't mind using this opportunity to give the people of Dawu enough opportunities to hone and improve.
The casualties will be heavy, but they are inevitable.
Just like people grow up and die, you can't stop having children because you are afraid of death.
At this moment, Li Xiu'er is fighting in the old city of Taiping.
Compared with the brave and shameless Su Yulou, Li Xiu'er is obviously still a "child".
Even though she is over fifty years old now, she has not made choices and fought for survival in difficult environments like Su Yulou countless times.
In other words, her heart is not hard enough, nor cruel enough.
So when she saw the tragic battle between people and ghosts, she couldn't help but take action. She couldn't watch those familiar people die.
The foundation of the cave house in the old city of Taiping was taken away once.
But as the dual core of the Taiping system, the number of its sincere people increased at the forefront of Dawu, and soon gave birth to the second foundation of the cave house and preserved it.
So even though it was several years late, it still became a blessed city, and Gu Ke also kept an eye on it.
Li Xiuer was the eldest lady's beloved disciple, and she would not be forgotten.
He did not stop her actions, nor did he even remind her.
The reason was simple, Li Xiuer was only a martial master, not a martial saint.
Although she was strong, she was not targeted by the spirit master and the demon god.
And she also needed to kill the demons and accumulate enough heaven and earth inscriptions, break through the barrier in one go, and be promoted to a martial saint.
Gu Ke couldn't help with this matter.
With the eldest lady as her master, Li Xiuer's accumulation was extremely strong, far exceeding that of ordinary martial masters, and she already had most of the conditions for promotion.
But awakening the self depends more on one's own mind and will.
Unless Li Xiuer puts everything aside and enters the Jade Dragon Cave Mansion for a decade or eight years of retreat, she can rely on various characteristics to continuously push up her mind and will and break through the barrier.
It's a pity that she didn't choose this path.
She grew up with Taiping City, and she couldn't let go of the people and things in Taiping City.
Gu Ke did not force her.
There are advantages to being promoted in the cave, but it is not all bad to be promoted in Dawu.
Especially at present, the difficulty of Dawu's promotion has been continuously reduced with the three changes of heaven, and it is far less dangerous to be promoted to Martial Saint than when the eldest lady was promoted.
Moreover, when she is promoted in Dawu, the inscription of heaven and earth will help her more. After success, she will have a higher affinity with the outside world, and there will be no situation like Gu Ke being targeted by "heaven".
Because the current "heaven" itself is the fusion of the demon world and Dawu.
The Martial Saint born in it will certainly not be treated as an "invader".
Li Xiu'er did not know these things, because these things were too far away from her now, and the eldest lady barely had the opportunity to contact this level, so it was useless to say more.
So she threw herself into killing and worked hard for it.
Under the dark bloody black mountain, the black and red sea of blood surged endlessly.
The weird things that were hostile to her were like insects falling into the sea, being swept into the sea of blood, struggling and rolling helplessly.
Immediately, she was crushed by the bloody black mountain, turned into a pile of twisted residue, and spat out.
Without mercy or hesitation, the blood sea and the black mountain swept across the battlefield, and the black ghosts and blood ghosts all became dead souls.
In a sense, Li Xiuer's behavior was even more shameless than Su Yulou's.
She was a martial master, but she was also raised by the eldest lady and Gu Ke since she was a child. It can be said that she replaced the eldest lady's position as the "strongest martial master".
If the martial saint does not appear, she is invincible.
As for the demons, the virtual ghosts are half a level higher than the martial masters, and half a level lower than the martial saints.
They were not strong enough to crush Li Xiuer, so they could only be crushed by her.
A virtual ghost thought he could fight, so he rushed forward.
Then... it was like the blood ghost and black ghost under his command, spinning in the blood sea, floating up and down.
Wanted to break free, but couldn't.
Wanted to resist, but couldn't break through.
When the huge black mountain hit it head-on, it was horrified to find that it couldn't hold on.
Except for being crushed and ground by the black mountain for a longer time, it had no chance to show stronger strength than the blood ghost.
This was the terrifying martial arts that Li Xiuer combined her own Pushing Mountain Palm, which was over level 60, with the Blood Sea Red Lotus Treasure Book.
The blood sea is so soft that it can accommodate everything.
The black mountain is so hard that it crushes everything.
The virtual ghost fell into it, and there was no place to exert force to break free, but it was always squeezed and ground by huge forces.
In desperation, the speed of its collapse exceeded its own imagination.
Li Xiuer was deeply loved by the residents of Taiping, but most of the people in the old city were those who joined later, and they had almost never seen her take action.
At this moment, they saw that their city lord was invincible and had almost no enemy.
The residents of Taiping Old City were all excited and chased after the victory with a howl.
The strange creatures were smashed to pieces by the blood sea and black mountain. Although there were many remaining, they could not organize an effective counterattack.
They were terrified and angry, and they screamed and wailed continuously. In less than half a day, they completely collapsed and fled in all directions.
This also proved once again that Su Yulou was cunning and Li Xiuer was not mature enough.
The former never showed his true strength. At most, he used the purple bamboo sword shuttle to kill three virtual strange creatures in one fell swoop.
The strange creatures were afraid and vigilant, but they were not terrified because the other virtual strange creatures were fine.
They unanimously believed that Su Yulou used some killers from the fairy mountain to shamelessly attack and succeeded.
But this method would definitely not be used without limit, otherwise he would have come out to chase them and kill them.
That's right, Li Xiuer did it like this.
After killing the first virtual ghost, she immediately found the second and third virtual ghosts.
When these two virtual ghosts once again proved with their lives that their strength could only be crushed by Li Xiuer, the remaining virtual ghosts immediately changed their tactics.
Without the virtual ghosts to suppress them, the blood ghosts and black ghosts, who suffered heavy casualties, scattered in an instant.
At this time, no matter how hard Li Xiuer tried, more and more ghosts escaped - they could burrow into the ground.
When the first battle ended in Taiping Old City, Beimo City was still continuing a wave of tug-of-war of varying sizes.
The virtual ghosts here are basically still alive, so the blood ghosts and black ghosts can't escape underground.
They can only engage in a cruel tug-of-war with Beimo warriors under the command of the virtual ghosts.
People are constantly being sucked dry of blood and flesh, turning into mummies, or the whole person is swallowed by the ghosts, and then turned into pieces of powder and eliminated.
The strange creatures were also screaming and wailing, and their bodies were split open by people, and strange crystals were grabbed out, leaving behind piles of debris between mud and feces.
In order to survive, both sides turned the area around Beimo into a huge meat grinder.
The flesh and blood of the dead will become nutrition for the living, making them or them stronger.
In this way, the casualties of Beimo warriors exceeded those of Taiping Old City by a large margin, but the number of strange creatures killed by them was also much larger, and they were still continuously sending themselves to the door.
As long as this tug-of-war continues, the strange crystals and strange corpses they harvest will continue to increase.
Taiping Old City has already returned to a general calm.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the residents of Taiping Old City are happy.
But when this war continues, the strength of Beimo warriors will exceed that of Taiping Old City, and the loss ratio will gradually decrease.
Because they have already paid the "tuition" at the beginning and become veterans, while the residents of Taiping Old City are still rookies trying their hand.
It is difficult to tell the gains and losses.
Fortunately, Gu Ke will not remind Li Xiuer that she did something wrong, because it may not be wrong.
The same thing can be completely different for different people.
Su Yulou is the commander of the army at the forefront, and his position is different from that of Li Xiuer, a young city lord who has the support of the eldest lady and Gu Ke.
Everything can be left to time and the battlefield.
Human beings are always making progress between mistakes and right, and not allowing mistakes is the most unrealistic requirement.
At least Li Xiuer has a strong capital and she can afford to lose.
…
In the southernmost part of Nanye, outside Lanwan City, the battle between monsters and humans has lasted for several days, but there is no sign of ending.
Wang Erdan wiped his face and got all the mixture of sea water, lake water, sweat, and blood off. He couldn't help but burst out a swear word: "Fuck it, these monsters are crazy."
A figure fell from a high altitude, and finally lost control when it reached the ground, and fell to the mud with a bang.
Wang Erdan panted heavily, took out the top-grade blood-replenishing pills and put half a bottle into his mouth, not bothering to look at the guy who fell from the sky.
He had been paying attention to the Meng brothers for a long time, and the one who fell beside him was the younger brother.
This Meng Laoer was not seriously injured, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he came down to rest for a while.
After a while, Meng Laoer, who fell into the mud next to him, struggled to prop himself up from the pit, turned over, and lay on his back on the ground: "Brother Erdan, give me two too."
Wang Erdan impatiently threw the bottle in his hand over, just blocking his mouth.
No need to pour it, the remaining few blood-replenishing pills rolled into Meng Laoer's mouth under the action of gravity.
Spitting out the bottle with a sound of "Puh", Meng Laoer also gasped: "Damn it, how many monsters are there, it's simply impossible to kill them all."
Wang Erdan was too lazy to answer this question, because he didn't have an answer.
While circulating blood and qi to speed up the effectiveness of blood-replenishing pills, he asked: "Where is the second batch of reinforcements from Bihai City? Our limit is almost reached. If no one comes to replace us, the rate of casualties will be beyond imagination."
Meng Laoer laughed, sat up and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, my brother is in the second batch of reinforcements, he definitely doesn't want me to be killed. It's just that there are many people coming, so it will be a little slower."
Wang Erdan felt a little relieved, but he sneered: "If you and I are finished, there will be few living people in Lanwan City."
If the two of them are dead, it will be difficult for others to survive. Meng Laoer laughed, the answer was like this, there was really no need to answer.
Monsters are really hard to deal with, especially in direct combat. They are more troublesome than monsters because of their thick skin and strong vitality.
When facing monsters, people can quickly penetrate their bodies condensed by the strange fog, dig out their strange crystals, and instantly disintegrate all their combat power.
But monsters can make people's weapons tear thick skin and muscles in vain again and again, and even scales, bone armor, hair and other messy things.
The knife that can split the black monster in half is likely to be stuck in the flesh of the monster's limbs that are thicker than a human waist, and it is in a dilemma.
And when you pull out the knife, it may take half a cup of tea or even a cup of tea, and the wound that should have been huge will be condensed, or even partially healed.
In addition to the fact that the next knife will be easier to cut, and the monster's movements will be slower, there is no more effect.
For the same injury, the second-round master must at least eat well and rest for several days to recover roughly, otherwise the actual combat power will drop by 30% to 50%.
Therefore, when facing monsters, especially monsters of equal strength, people must use all their strength to kill them as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, it will become a protracted battle. Whether it is exchanging injuries for injuries or consuming blood and energy, it is difficult for people to compare with the gifted monsters.
This brings another trouble. The battle that cannot be left behind will consume blood and energy very quickly.
The same person can entangle with strange creatures on the battlefield for a day, but may not last for half a day against a constant stream of monsters.
Moreover, monsters are super fertile.
Many monsters are in a nest, or even a group of different sizes.
When people see them rushing, they can't help but think "How can I kill them all?"
This is like ordinary people hearing that they have to kill dozens or hundreds of pigs alone. Just thinking about it makes their hands and feet weak, and they have a premonition that they are about to be exhausted to death.
