Chapter 287: The Wise but Foolish Sister, the Unexpected Support
Not only did the full-strength attack of the Xugui feel like it had hit nothing, but there was even a strong suction force coming from the Hun Tian Ling.
It didn't have time to withdraw its hand before it was wrapped up by the white jade-like brocade.
A silk thread tied to Wang Xiaomai's wrist still controlled the Hun Tian Ling, closing its opening in an instant and locking it.
At the same time, it pulled up the warp threads on the Hun Tian Ling and linked the weft threads.
The Xugui wrapped in it let out a deafening scream, or more accurately, a scream, and stopped after a few breaths.
The Hun Tian Ling had been gathered into individual "grids" by the warp and weft threads.
Wang Xiaomai shook her hand, and the Hun Tian Ling reopened. The Xugui inside became fairly even pieces, and fell out with a crackling sound.
She rolled up the fist-sized Gui crystal inside and threw it to a certain Wu Zong on the city wall, letting him complete the "packing and packaging" work.
The Hun Tian Ling shrank again and rolled up on her wrist.
Wang Xiaomai's face flushed slightly, but it was because the blood and energy she had just strangled the Xugui were circulating too fast, and it consumed a lot of energy.
But the scene of Hun Tian Ling killing Xu Gui instantly has brought great shock to both sides of the war.
It's just that the morale of the Mingzhou defenders was high, while the action of the ghosts was slow.
Mingzhou City is a blessed city, but it is only a medium-sized one, far inferior to the super-large blessed city of Beimo City.
Therefore, the number and strength of the ghosts attacking here are much smaller, and there are less than ten virtual ghosts as the highest commander.
Since one has been killed instantly, it is extremely dangerous for less than two to join forces to face Wang Xiaomai.
Even for their own lives, the virtual ghosts began to move closer to each other, instead of standing separately as before.
Wang Xiaomai did not launch another attack.
Now she is also a little famous in Dawu, and this fame does not come from strength alone.
More importantly, she has been unknown for decades, and once she took action, she was at the level of a top martial arts master, and then she broke through to the martial arts master step by step.
If someone else had her strength, they would have boasted to everyone, at least their relatives and friends would know.
But she didn't. Before she became famous, she cooked and wove like an ordinary housewife every day.
Compared with most martial masters, Wang Xiaomai is not timid, but she is too "stable".
At this moment, she is not as complacent as before when she killed a virtual ghost with one blow.
In addition to harvesting a virtual ghost crystal, she has a simple and unpretentious joy like a good harvest, but she still maintains a high degree of calmness, or calmness.
She is thinking more about the warning from the fairy mountain before.
Without the fairy mountain to support her, every bit of her strength is precious at this moment.
Instead of wasting blood and energy to try to kill the virtual ghost, it is better to stalemate with the other party.
If it drags on for a little longer, even taking the treasure pill can be saved.
There is no way, this is the nature of an ordinary woman who has been frugal for decades.
Several virtual ghosts are in a dilemma.
Attack for fear that they will be stabbed to death by the sword shuttle or strangled to pieces by the Hun Tian Ling.
Retreat, there is a strict order from the spirit master, and they also have the obligation to monitor each other, so they dare not retreat at all.
In the end, two virtual ghosts took action first, but they were not working hard and were determined not to get close to Wang Xiaomai to avoid being targeted by her.
The other virtual ghosts understood immediately and followed suit tacitly.
Under their pressure, the black ghosts and blood ghosts came forward and were killed in batches. The scene was extremely intense.
The virtual ghosts tacitly moved in the corners and launched insignificant attacks.
They were waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
If it was still the black ghost and blood ghost, they would continue to waste time.
If more virtual ghosts came, it would be best if the new virtual ghosts made a fool of themselves and actively attracted Wang Xiaomai's attack, and then they would take the opportunity to attack in groups.
This is also the best way.
With the strength shown by Wang Xiaomai, even if she was besieged, she could drag two or three virtual ghosts to be buried with her.
They didn't want to be the ones buried with them, so they naturally left this "opportunity" to the newcomers.
Under this "tacit understanding", the battle entered a tragic and stable war of attrition.
Both sides were constantly losing troops, but there would be no rout or city break, and both were safe.
…
Mingzhou Prefecture City was lucky, but other cities were not so lucky.
Without the secret realm’s means of quickly mobilizing troops, Dawu’s scattered forces were not enough to face the attacks of a large number of monsters.
Cities without the protection of blessed lands were struggling to resist the crazy attacks of monsters.
But with the vastness of Dawu, there are always weak cities.
Previously, the monsters were hit head-on and unable to go deep, so they escaped, but this time they were discovered one by one and quickly broken.
Most people found it difficult to escape the pursuit of monsters, and only a small number of people could escape to some of the nearest large cities.
If you are lucky, you can join the battlefield and fight through the chaotic battlefield until you enter the city to report the news.
People with bad luck escaped the city break, but they had no chance to get close to the big city, and were discovered and surrounded by the surrounding monsters.
Dawu finally ushered in the most tragic war in decades.
There is almost no safe place, and there are monsters lingering near every city.
As long as the city they were in was breached, they would be in a dilemma of having no place to go and no place to stay.
At this time, Bihai City and Taiping City stood up and took action in the south and north tacitly.
Gu Ke transferred the two masters from more than ten blessed cities in advance, formed several powerful hunting armies, and took the initiative to attack and hunt monsters.
The hunting army had a very clear goal, and never took the initiative to provoke cities with too many monsters, and specifically picked small and medium-sized cities.
Many small and medium-sized demons surrounded the same small and medium-sized cities, using their numbers to defeat the few and relying on their strength to bully the weak. Suddenly, they were surrounded by the wandering hunting army, and they turned from the killers to the killed.
After killing the demons, the hunting army would only rest for a while and then leave again.
They would not spend time rescuing the residents of these cities, because there were more cities that needed them to rescue.
When Gu Ke issued the task, he also distributed a large number of precious medicines and precious pills to his direct descendants.
Relying on their super-strong replenishment efficiency, the hunting army has a strong continuous combat capability.
Within three days, the hunting army kept jumping and interweaving in their own territory according to the planned route, making it difficult for the demons to catch their movements.
The dense "net" of the demon army was like being cut by a knife, exposing large gaps.
The people in the small and medium-sized cities did not know when the destruction would come, and the small and medium-sized demons also did not know when they would be killed into slag by the hunting army.
The situation of the war has become balanced again, unlike the beginning when the initiative was almost entirely in the hands of the monsters, which was too threatening to the already weak Dawu.
Now that everyone is hurting each other, the monsters must reserve some of their strength to guard against the counterattack of the hunting army.
When the wave is still at the beginning, suppress it and do not give them time to accumulate strength, many small and medium-sized cities can survive.
In Beimo City, Su Yulou looked indifferent, watching the army of monsters outside the city.
Three days ago, a large number of monsters arrived, including many virtual monsters, but they did not attack, but just blocked Beimo City.
Obviously they were cautious about him and did not intend to capture Beimo City first.
On the other hand, the news transmitted by Gu Ke through vague perception made Su Yulou understand that the monsters were attacking small and medium-sized cities.
This is undoubtedly weakening Dawu's subsequent resistance.
After all, large cities alone cannot protect all the people of Dawu. Most people are still in small and medium-sized cities, just accepting the protection of the blessed city.
Now that Beimo City is restricted, it means that the surrounding small and medium-sized cities will not be spared.
There are not many small and medium-sized cities in Beimo, so the loss will not be too great.
But there are still quite a few in the northern part of the courtyard. The officials in the courtyard are really not so serious about their work. Anyway, they will not die.
Su Yulou sighed in his heart and had no way.
He did not even dare to sigh, otherwise it would only make his subordinates suspect that something big had happened.
This can also be regarded as a burden of fame! Every move will involve the attention of others and infer many conclusions that he himself does not know.
If it is good, it would be fine, but unfortunately most of the time it is a negative conclusion, so he can only reduce his outward expression again and again.
Alas, if I think about it this way, could it be that my stupid sister did it on purpose, and was actually "wise but foolish"? Su Yulou could not help but start to speculate without reason.
After all, General Su Yuqing is famous for his joy, moodiness, and hippie smile... Well, the latter is limited to his brother.
However, most people don't really care about her daily performance, anyway, she is always so carefree.
When others have an expression of "how can you do this", she still does her own thing, and over time everyone becomes numb.
For example, there is a rumor that General Su Yuqing cried bitterly after being defeated in the battle, but the next day she was found eating spicy hot pot in the best restaurant in Wangbei City, and her tears were streaming down her face due to the spiciness.
She was indeed crying, but what she was eating was the meat slices of a giant snake demon king.
After figuring out what the rumor was about, everyone dispersed and spread the truth.
The people all "chewed" and no one remembered the previous rumors.
What else should we do? Do you insist that the general's "defeat" was because the snake meat was too delicious? Then please let us ordinary people "fail" once.
Evil king meat hot pot, how face-saving, ordinary people would brag about it for ten or eight years, so what's wrong with the general being moved to tears.
Thinking of his sister, Su Yulou's thoughts continued to diverge involuntarily: If he were also a woman, and had a "boudoir friend" like Lord Qin, he would be so carefree.
Anyway... if the sky falls, there is a taller one beside him to support it, which is very stable.
From this point of view, the ancestors of Xianshan are not so "friendly". They will not call anyone brothers and sisters, drink and eat meat together.
Appreciation? Haha, Su Yulou himself has appreciated many young people, but he has been busy for a year or two and has not thought of them.
The biggest role of private relationships is that you can ask for help directly, even if every time you ask for help, it consumes the intimacy between each other, but it is the best to use it as a trump card.
Of course, Su Yulou can only secretly envy his sister's good luck, but he will not be dissatisfied with the ancestors.
He himself is not someone who can make friends with everyone. This thing not only depends on the eye, but also on the nature.
Otherwise, after a long time, there is no place to make friends, but it will lead to things that people with different paths cannot work together.
Alas, what on earth did my stupid sister do to please Lord Qin? Su Yulou once again asked a soul-searching question in his heart.
"Lord Su..." A faint female voice sounded in his mind, which frightened him so much that his whole body froze and his back felt cold.
Could it be that this lord noticed that I was secretly complaining? Oh, no, I wasn't secretly complaining. Su Yulou frantically suggested to himself: I was just scolding my sister for being stupid, and it had nothing to do with Lord Qin.
The eldest lady's telepathic voice continued to sound: "... I have been here for two days, secretly looking for the traces of the spirit master but found nothing. Lord Su has been in battle for a long time, is there a way to lure them out?"
Ah? I have been here for two days. I haven't said anything inappropriate to myself these two days, right? Su Yulou's mind flashed and went through it, and he was sure that there was nothing.
Fortunately, in order to avoid disturbing the emotions of his subordinates, he has been very taciturn and even has few expressions when the second round of battles began.
At this moment, recalling it, it is particularly clear.
Immediately, his attention was attracted by the eldest lady's next words: Wait, what do you mean by looking for the spirit master? You obviously want to kill the spirit master!
Su Yulou witnessed with his own eyes that this Lord Qin raided a large area of monsters outside Beimo City. It was really a root-out, almost leaving no one alive.
Besides, who among the core people of Lieyang Sect is a spy? There has not been one in hundreds of years.
They would suppress their advance, hide and lurk, and in the end, without exception, they would suddenly kill people, or kill their entire family.
All the forbearance was for the final happy killing.
But now she is a friendly army of Beimo, and she is also targeting the enemy's spirit master, which Su Yulou couldn't ask for more.
He is a martial saint, but he was forced to shrink in the city and watch his men fight desperately. Isn't it because he is afraid that the opponent's spirit master will also play a sneak attack!
Without the support of the immortal mountain, once he is attacked, there is a 50% chance that Beimo City will be quickly broken.
This is also the disadvantage of too high personal prestige.
As a result, another person who can support the bottom now appears.
Although the support is not the ancestor of the immortal mountain, but the eldest lady, Su Yulou still has enough confidence.
The eldest lady has a record of fighting one against two, killing one and injuring one of the two demon gods, and the demon god and the spirit master are at the same level.
Then she is undoubtedly also a leader at the same level as the spirit master.
For a moment, Lord King completely forgot about his stupid sister: criticizing his sister in his heart is not as fun as ambushing the spirit master!
Of course, he can't be the main force in the ambush plan, but it's okay to be the mastermind!
In this way, Lord Qin who likes to drink tea with his stupid sister is actually pretty good.
If the ancestor comes instead, then he really has nothing to do.
Lord Su's mind flashed these extremely dangerous thoughts, and he quickly put them aside.
Other things are not important, at least before ambushing the spirit master.
He made an excuse to go down the city wall and enter the blessed land building, which can isolate the prying of strange creatures to the greatest extent, including the spirit master.
Then he communicated with the eldest lady's telepathy while writing and drawing, and discussed the plan.
In less than half an hour, Su Yulou got everything done.
As the Lord of Beimo, he has lived in Beimo City for decades, and he knows everything here.
How to lead out the spirit master in this plan is relatively simple, because Su Yulou doesn't mind taking risks.
What is complicated is how Beimo City will respond after the ambush succeeds or fails, because he is willing to take risks, but he cannot ignore his men and the people of Beimo City.
