Chapter 291 The Tenth Day Has Come, the Ancestor Comes Out
Newcomers are overpaid
Gu Ke is the person who knows the overall situation of Dawu best at this moment.
There is no need to count the heads one by one, but to estimate the number of sincere people by region as a whole and compare it with the situation before the war.
After several days of war, the population of Dawu has been reduced by 20% to 30%.
If Dawu loses its spirit and the casualties double, it will lose at least 50% of its population.
These are all sincere people of Xianshan and potential sincere people.
If it is really reduced by half, not only will the soul source that Gu Ke receives every year be reduced by half, but the increase in the next few years will not be high. Facing the tragic situation of this war, he is not too angry.
He just suspects that the "sky" of the demon world is anxious and is attacking his "weakness" at all costs, and perhaps there is an intention to force Xianshan to come forward.
So the demons rushed into Dawu to attack the city and devour humans.
This is a struggle for survival, regardless of right or wrong.
He stands on the side of humans, so he helps Dawu kill the demons, eat them into his stomach, and make them into fertilizer.
Everyone is prey and hunter, this is "God's will"
Then on the eighth and ninth days, the number of monsters in Dawu increased further, affecting more than 70% of the area
The areas that can still be stabilized are all around the blessed land, and some areas to the west of Taiping Old City, that is, along the way to Taiping New City and Yulong Blessed Land.
Yulong Blessed Land and Taiping City are the direct descendants of the Immortal Mountain, and the strength and number of their members far exceed most forces.
There are three top martial masters in spring, summer and winter in Taiping New City alone, and more than 50 powerful martial masters maneuver between the two cities to kill the monsters who enter the area.
And the Yulong Blessed Land side sent hundreds of powerful martial masters to madly abuse the monsters who tried to step into the extreme western plateau. These two sides have received too many benefits from the Immortal Mountain, and have not been affected by the outside world for decades. They have accumulated extremely strong foundations unknowingly.
For example, the population of Yulong Blessed Land has exceeded 10 million.
Although most of them are old people who don't want to go to the battlefield again, and children who are too young, there are still many strong warriors who have to retire due to their physical defects.
In the Yulong blessed land, there is a 1% life essence blessing, which is best at recovering stubborn diseases that have damaged the root.
It is not obvious in one or two years, but it will be effective in three to five years, and it will be almost restored in ten years.
The reason why it is almost is that the regeneration of broken limbs has exceeded the scope of characteristic recovery, and the missing limbs will more or less affect the warrior's strength.
However, the leap in strength level brought by the promotion to Wu Zun will not change.
For example, the Wu Zun with broken arms is not much worse than the Wu Zun without broken arms in killing the blood ghost and the black ghost.
They are indeed at a disadvantage against the virtual ghost, but if one Wu Zun is not good enough, several will fight side by side.
The Wu Zun who is willing to leave the blessed land and fight the monster again does not care about face.
The once bleak martial arts path has been reborn, and they are more active and more brutal. As long as they can kill the monster, they don't mind besieging the opponent.
Besides, aren't the demons relying on their numerical advantage to besiege cities in Dawu? Now it's just tit for tat. Yulong Fudi doesn't care about the group of martial masters who left.
Relatively speaking, there are many more people in Dawu who pursue a stable life than those who are disabled but have not given up.
Hundreds of martial masters have left, but there are still hundreds of martial masters in Yulong Fudi who are retired.
They have no chance of promotion in the outside world, but who can let Yulong Fudi share the 1% soul-soothing and mind-calming characteristics? More than ten years of subtle influence have pushed their spirits up little by little.
There are always people with good luck, who are not far from the martial master, and now they are forcibly lifted up from the foundation, just crossing the threshold, and naturally promoted.
When Yulong Fudi has more than 10 million people living there, the absolute number of such low-probability events is not small.
In addition, Yulong Fudi's natural suppression of demons means that residents are not afraid of being attacked by demons.
Just because they don't want to go out and fight doesn't mean they can tolerate monsters entering their homes.
The people of the Gu family are even more willing to fight to the death to protect their homes.
The linkage between Yulong Fudi and Taiping City not only protects their own territory, but also helps to bear the pressure of half of the Western Wilderness. The small and medium-sized cities in this area have benefited greatly, with losses of less than 20%.
And in the south, Bihai City and Lanwan City have long been an offensive and defensive alliance.
Liangshan Village, the predecessor of Bihai City, is more aggressive. In the past few decades of development, force has always been their main direction of effort. There are all kinds of good things in the fairy mountain, and there is no shortage of resources even if the internal affairs ability is poor.
The more fair distribution principle allows those with talent to obtain good training resources, and almost periodically "produces" Wu Zong and Wu Zun.
This is how they can pull out hundreds of Wu Zun in one breath after sending out the patrolling hunting army to maintain the regional stability of the two cities of Bilan.
In the case that the spirit master demon god is unwilling to take risks, this number of Wu Zun is almost uncontrollable.
Besides, there was the experience of Su Yulou in Beimo City who caught a spirit master and more than 30 virtual ghosts in one go, so no one dared to gather a large number of virtual ghosts.
When Su Yulou rushed thousands of miles to hunt virtual ghosts, would the spirit masters and demon gods take action or continue to endure?
Even if the eldest lady was lured out, it was too early for the demon ghosts to negotiate a result, and no one would deal with her.
In this way, they thought that since they had thrown a large number of demon ghosts into Dawu, they might as well fight the war of attrition to the end. This did work.
After two days, the population of Dawu decreased by more than 10%, which was half of the 20% or 30% in the previous few days.
But this was because the small and medium-sized cities that were easy to break were almost destroyed, and the remaining resistance was relatively strong.
Although there are still cities that are running out of ammunition and food, and cities are destroyed and people are destroyed, the rate of losses has been greatly slowed down.
Even so, nearly 40% of Dawu's population was lost. It can be said that half of Dawu was lost.
If we hadn't known that the monsters never left a living person alive, and that the outside was full of monsters and there was no way out, many cities would have collapsed on their own. As time went by, the city defenders suffered heavy casualties and the defensive pressure increased greatly.
The patrolling hunting army also suffered considerable battle losses. Wu Zong suffered thousands of casualties, and even Wu Zun lost dozens of people in battle.
Time came to the tenth day quietly.
Gu Ke stood on the top of Jade Dragon Peak, facing the east, his eyes seemed to be passing through the void, watching the battles taking place in Dawu.
Several figures floated up from the bedroom at the waist of the peak, and reached the top of the peak in a moment.
Xiao Man huddled behind Bai Suqing, trying hard to show an expression of "I didn't ask Sister Bai to come here."
She had been here several times in the past two days, but she was driven to practice martial arts by Gu Ke.
This was not like Gu Ke's habit. He usually doted on her the most and it was okay to at least have a meal and take a bath together. Xiao Man was worried that this was because he was in a bad mood, so he moved Sister Bai to be a reinforcement.
Sister Bai is not a person who pleases people, but she has an unspeakable tacit understanding with Gu Ke.
When the two of them are together, they can always talk in a conversation that Xiaoman can't understand, but they understand each other, and his mood will naturally become lighter.
At this moment, Bai Suqing fell next to Gu Ke. She sensed his state with her spiritual mind and determined that he was just meditating. Then she reached out and held him, "How is the situation?"
Gu Ke looked away, took her delicate hand in his and rubbed it: "As expected, there were many casualties.
Bai Suqing: "There is only half a day left for the upgrade to be completed. Are you not going to arrange how we will act?"
Gu Ke smiled and shook his head: "What if I want to use your Purple Shadow Sword?'
Bai Suqing frowned slightly: "I'm going to use it, but I still have to keep it."
Gu Ke increased his strength to prevent her from breaking free: "Do you think it would be better to place it deep in the South China Sea?"
Bai Suqing didn't move her hand anymore, and after thinking about it, Shao Qing came: "Place it? Are you going to use it as the foundation of the cave?"
"Exactly, but it should be regarded as" Gu Ke thought for a moment: "I built a cave for you, and you can control and adjust it yourself.'
Bai Suqing's eyes lit up: "If this happens, then what are you going to do?'
These last three words were not meant for Gu Ke.
I saw Xiaoman's head poking out from the other side of Gu Ke's side, and Baozi's face was filled with a flattering smile.
Hearing Bai Suqing speak, she responded without hesitation: "Sister Bai, you choose first, and then I choose."
Bai Suqing was speechless.
Xiaoman took the initiative to give up the "first place" and only asked for "second place". She could go further.
Gu Ke coughed lightly and reached out to touch the bun-faced man: "Then I have to let your sister Bai finish."
You two are singing along just to silence me. Bai Suqing shook her head helplessly: "The South China Sea is fine, but the water depth shouldn't be too shallow.'
Gu Ke squeezed her delicate white hands and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will carefully choose a suitable place."
After saying that, he pulled Xiaoman up: "That small stone knife also needs to be used as the foundation of the cave. Are you really willing to do it?"
Xiao Man groaned, stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife at his waist, his face full of reluctance.
But Bai Suqing saw the clues, and gave Xiaoman an angry slap on the forehead to expose someone's little trick: "Are you stupid? The foundation of the cave is that you can't leave the cave at most, which one has disappeared."
Xiao Man came to his senses and suddenly no longer felt bad.
It's just that she can't carry it around with her. She doesn't care about that at all.
What I can't bear to part with is this small stone knife that cannot be worn away. It was one of the first tools made by Gu Ke himself when the workshop was first established.
The remaining small stone knives did not have the property of being inwearable and were gradually damaged in subsequent daily use.
Only this one remained, and seeing that Xiao Man liked it, Gu Ke gave it to her.
Although the eldest lady's cloud pattern sword, Sister Bai's purple shadow sword, and Xiao Ping'er's goddess sword shuttle are also unique, they were all made later. The commemorative significance is far less than this small stone knife that witnessed the changes in the cave from the beginning.
Therefore, its practical value is not important.
Well, at most, I will use it to cook for Lao Gu in "my" cave from now on. Xiaoman thought so and was tapped on the forehead again.
Gu Ke's voice came: "You're distracted again, Xiaoman. You haven't said where to choose your cave yet."
Xiaoman perked up: "The southeast is close to the sea, with mountains and water, where rivers and seas converge.
"Yes." Gu Ke nodded clearly.
There are mountains and water for better tourism, and the weather on the southeastern coast is relatively hot, which is naturally suitable for raising more types of crops and animals.
For example, certain spices can also grow in Yulong Cave, and their various special effects are also very strong, but the taste quality is not high. This distinction means nothing to other chefs.
Anyway, they can't get the spices produced in Xianda, so of course they don't have to worry about how to cook with them and whether the taste is perfect.
But for cooking master Xiaoman, this problem needs to be solved.
Before, she planted a number of spice crops in some caves in the two southeastern countries.
But this is completely incomparable to having a cave of your own and planning it as you wish.
Not to mention Xiaoman, even Bai Suqing was quite happy with his calm temperament.
It's not that they can't do this in various caves, but they are always more comfortable with things that belong to themselves.
It's like a child who wants to have his own room and is unwilling to let his parents in, even if the whole house actually belongs to his parents.
Finally, it was Xiao Ping'er's turn, and she had to take out the Heavenly Lady Sword Shuttle that Gu Ke had made for her, which she needed to open up the cave.
The location she chooses is not that picky, as long as it is the northern seaside and is similar to her hometown.
As for Saranzhu, she does not have this kind of treatment. As a mansion spirit, the Jade Dragon Cave and various sub-caves are part of her "body".
She could just keep a branch of the cave for her own use, but she couldn't do it like Bai Suqing and the others.
Next, everyone chatted at the top of the mountain, and Gu Ke explained the precautions for establishing their respective caves.
Soon the time passed noon, and it was getting closer and closer to the time when the small hut started to be upgraded ten days ago.
The sun is gradually moving away, and the system prompts as expected: "The player's small hut has been upgraded to level 30."
"Asylum function permissions have been opened to players."
"Adjustment permissions for the Cave Mansion have been opened to players."
"Contract authority has been opened to players.'
"The main permissions of the Xiuxian Great Player System have been opened. Players are welcome to explore on their own. I wish you a happy game."
Gu Ke listened to this series of prompts and checked the system changes again, his expression became inexplicably complicated.
Seemingly happy, but also a little reluctant.
It seems to be relaxing, but I feel more pressure.
The main permissions of the system have been opened, which means that after this time, there will no longer be hidden benefits in the system.
It also changed from a manager who granted authority to Gu Ke to a purely auxiliary tool.
Just like in the previous life, the financial and personnel rights of a company were completely transferred to the recipient, and the recipient basically took control of the company, and the rest were all side effects.
When I got the power, I also took over the pressure.
How to run this company well in the future and how to arrange various internal affairs have become Gu Ke's responsibility.
The "company" he took over was more like a private small business.
If he does a good job, he will make money if the company makes money.
If he does it poorly, the company will lose money and he will also lose money.
There is no situation where the company is losing money and he can still make a lot of money.
Shao Qinggu Ke put back his messy thoughts. Now was not a good time to lament the past and look forward to the future.
A large number of monsters in Dawu territory are still frantically besieging the city, and a large number of people are killed and injured every moment.
He signaled to Bai Suqing and the others to get ready, and then with a thought, four void body clones appeared in the four caves in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Their images vary.
In the north is the old man Shennong with a wrinkled face, white beard and hair, and a kind expression.
Dongfang is a tall and powerful man of heaven.
In the south is Wenzong, who has a clear appearance and a rich belt in Eguan.
The West is a war king with a solemn expression and a sharp breath.
