Chapter 124 A year of silence, Kui and Amona
Even if Qian Daoliu blocked it, Bibi Dong could not give up so easily.
Bibi Dong’s obsession is so strong that even one person must catch the Masked Killer and the Skynet organization.
However, since then, the masked killer who originally came to Wuhun City every now and then to pick a few heads before leaving has disappeared as if he had never appeared.
This feeling of being understood by the other party made Bibi Dong even more crazy.
Even so, she still never gave up.
However, while dealing with the Pope's political affairs, he also had to suppress the increasingly violent mental impact of the Rakshasa divine power, and he also had to spend time looking for the masked killer and the Skynet organization...
Bibi Dong's time Being heavily occupied, the time it took for her to complete the divine test and regain her peak strength, and even go further, was naturally greatly extended. This will naturally affect Bibi Dong's time to establish the Spirit Empire.
Coupled with Tang San's results, You Chen's purpose of holding back these two people can be said to have been successfully achieved.
On the other side, Qian Renxue also mobilized her own power and began to investigate the traces of the Skynet organization.
However, in Douluo Continent, which lacks all kinds of modern technology comparable to ancient society, it is understandably difficult to find an organization composed of all loyal dead soldiers.
Especially...the current Soul Fighting Beast organization has escaped into no man's land.
Moved more than 2,000 kilometers westward from the original Asturias Mountains, directly inserted into the natural disaster mountain system area at the western junction of Tiandou and Xingluo, and re-established the base camp on the boundary of the Catastrophe Mountains. of construction.
Compared with Asturias, the Catastrophe Mountain Range, as its name suggests, has suddenly become more dangerous by more than one order of magnitude. Countless powerful soul beasts are wreaking havoc and activities here.
Because of this, there are basically no human settlements, and there are no mountain roads naturally opened when travelers come and go, making transportation very inconvenient.
But in their place are more abundant wild resources.
The Catastrophe Mountain Range is close to the main river system of Star Luo and is very rich in water resources, plant and woodland resources. The mountains themselves also contain rich mineral resources. If the strength is sufficient, it is indeed a good place that can be self-sufficient. place.
According to the information obtained by Soul Fighting Beast, the Star Luo Empire once had the idea of building a military base in the hinterland of the Catastrophe Mountains. However, in order to operate in such a place and ensure safety, if the strength of the soldiers is Not enough, I'm afraid it would take a strong Titled Douluo to protect him fully.
And Xiang Xiang also knew that the Star Luo Empire could not afford such a strong man to station here at any time.
Not to mention that they can't use the Titled Douluo, even if they can, rather than letting him be the head of a military region, it would be better to directly participate in the struggle for interests with Tiandou as a combat force.
But the Soul Fighting Beast organization does not have such a problem.
Although You Chen's current strength can only be called a Titled Douluo level when the spiritual realm breaks out, once this method is used, it will be weak for a long time and cannot be regarded as normal. Combat strength considerations.
But now, among the soul fighting beasts, the backbone combat power of the beast soldiers has gradually transitioned to the soul master stage. Coupled with the black fire crossbow in each hand, the organized combat power is absolutely Not weaker than the military elites of the Star Luo Empire.
Secondly, the "Breathing Condensation Technique" has now been widely promoted among the soul fighting beasts.
According to the policy deliberated by Ignis and Grace, both beast soldiers and beast warriors can redeem the entry-level "Breathing Concentration Technique" for free, and after mastering it, they can receive merit rewards.
This greatly strengthened the spirit fighting beasts' enthusiasm for practicing the Breath Condensation Technique.
Even some soul fighting beasts who are limited in their vision and cannot see how powerful the Breath Condensing Art is, will take the initiative to devote time to the practice of the Breath Condensing Art.
After such a long time, most people have completed the introduction to the Breath Condensation Technique, and the help of this technique for outdoor activities is self-evident.
It is equivalent to greatly reducing the difficulty of survival. In principle, when moving here, the soul fighting beasts no longer need You Chen's protection.
Soul fighting beasts have developed to this day. Ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts can be repelled without Ignis taking action. The more powerful ones can also be repelled by gathering the strength of everyone.
After You Chen arrived at the base camp in the Calamity Mountains, he was basically immersed in his own affairs.
After You Chen arrived at the Calamity Mountains, more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
After Ignis, Amona of the White Tiger Martial Spirit and Kui of the Soul-Jiling Wood Martial Spirit were successively promoted to Tiger Head by You Chen on the grounds that they "had great contributions in the evacuation process" and wooden heads.
These two people followed Ignis and broke through the Soul Sect very early, possessing the combat power of the Soul King of the old era.
This also makes Ignis no longer alone in the position of the beast's head.
You Chen didn't create a beast-headed position, like in most novels, to place and promote his women and help them rise to power.
In other words, love has never been very important in You Chen's eyes.
If there is only one beast head, it will be difficult to reflect the status difference between the leader and the beast head, which will make the power too concentrated in the hands of Ignis.
So there is no reason for You Chen to only promote Ignis but not Amona and Kui.
It would be better to say that if it weren’t for the fact that Ignis’ strength was too far apart from the others, You Chen would be more inclined to promote the more mature and calm Kui.
Even if they both have animal heads, the symbolic meaning of this first animal head is still different.
In fact, this is also the case. The three beast heads are vaguely headed by Ignis.
But You Chen actually doesn’t think Ignis is the most suitable to be the leader among the three.
At first glance, both of them are the type who don't like to talk much and do practical things. Kui is even more silent.
But in fact, when Kui served as a superior beast soldier, his commanding ability in teamwork was obviously more outstanding. Although he spoke few words, every order was directed to the key points.
In contrast, Ignis is more like a sharp single sword, a killing weapon that leads everyone to charge.
To put it more exaggeratedly, the former is a handsome man, while the latter is just a general.
Unfortunately, Kui's cultivation talent is far inferior to that of Ignis. In the world of Douluo, if he occupies the main position among the beast heads, it will easily attract dissatisfaction from some people.
On the other hand, after the Beast Envoys were taken back to their base camp, You Chen also re-divided the Beast Envoys and separated the researchers headed by Lin Zhi independently to establish an independent organization with the Beast Soldiers and Beast Envoys. Create a leveled research institute system.
As the first director of the institute, Lin Zhi has a status second only to the beast head.
In contrast, You Chen also promoted the previously unknown Grace to the real-name leader of the Beast Envoy. As the leader of the Beast Envoy, his status is close to that of Lin Zhi.
For You Chen, the intermediate elixir has almost no effect, so it is completely released and can be redeemed through merit.
The speed of the three beast heads' strength progress has been increased, and Grace has successfully broken through to the soul sect level with You Chen's special help.
Considering Grace’s age, if there is no experience pill in the future, she may be destined to be surpassed by the backbone level beast soldiers in the future. But at least so far, relying on the strength that is only weaker than a few major beast heads, she serves as a logistics The head of the department is more than enough.
Time passes quietly...
"I always feel so boring..."
On an unknown night, beside a bonfire, Amona, who was keeping vigil, was complaining to Kui, who was also responsible for the matter.
Even though Kui Mu kept his face and did not give any reaction, Amona seemed to be used to it and continued to complain without caring.
"How long have we been in this ravine? One year... no, one year is the time that the leader came here later. For us, we have been here for almost two years!"
Amona sighed with an unhappy expression: "I really want to eat candied haws, Kui, can you make candied haws?"
Kui: "No."
In the mountains, staying for a few days occasionally can be regarded as a vacation.
Staying for a little longer is unbearable for most people living in cities.
Not to mention Amona’s lively personality.
In the past, the Spirit Fighting Beasts used the camp in the Asturias Mountains as their base camp for activities, but it was different this time.
It is also a valley, but it is located on the periphery of the mountains. From time to time, people will leave the mountains and go to nearby towns for supplies, instead of like now, like savages, basically cut off from external supplies and relying entirely on self-sufficiency. .
To put it simply, one is the seclusion of a normal person, without completely breaking off contact with the outside world, and the other is similar to the Peach Blossom Spring in Peach Blossom Spring, without any contact with the outside world.
“Alas~ Our Miss Red Dragon is so nice~ You can go to the leader’s tent every day to disturb~”
Amona’s topic is full of jumps, and her front feet are still there On top of the food, the back foot turned to Ignis.
She winked and lowered her voice: "Hey, Kui, tell me... that guy Ignis, didn't he use his wish for that kind of thing?"
In fact, after everyone in the Soul Fighting Beast often saw Ignis entering Youchen's tent, they all agreed that she used her wish for "that aspect".
Looking at Amona’s gossipy appearance, especially the private life of the gossip leader, Kui finally twitched the corners of his eyes and gave a detailed analysis that was different from the public: “No, she will definitely do it. She uses her wish to enhance her strength. She sneaks into the leader’s tent every day, which probably has nothing to do with her wish. Or is it just to enhance Ignis’s strength? ”
After all, the beloved leader was involved, and Kui couldn't help but say something more: "Amona, if you have that intention, instead of speculating in private here, you might as well imitate Ignis's approach directly. I think, The leader will most likely not refuse.”
In Kui’s view, discussing the leader’s private life in private is an offensive act and damages the leader’s dignity. But on the other hand, as long as they don't gossip in private, it doesn't matter what happens between Amona and the leader.
"Ah, forget it. Although I also yearn for the leader, this and that are not the same thing, and I'm not too interested in that thing. I'm sorry, what about you? Kui, Looking at your stupid appearance, I really can’t imagine that you have such needs~" "I just need to serve the leader wholeheartedly."
“You guy… you are really a real elm-headed person. Your wish is not just to ‘stay with the leader all your life’, right?”
“… …”
“Uh, no. Is this really the case? Kui, it’s a bit disgusting to be honest.”
“No, it can’t be like that. Loyalty is not something that can be fulfilled just by talking about it. , I haven’t mentioned it yet.”
"It's understandable. After all, it's a period like this. I'd be embarrassed if you asked me."
"..."
"But to be honest, I really thought about whether to use this I wish that the leader would allow me to go to the city Just play here."
"Are you really stupid?"
"Do you want to fight!? I can't beat that soul king Ignis, but I can't beat you. The leader is not successful!”
"You shouldn't be able to beat me."
"You!"
But the truth is exactly what Kui said.
After both became soul sects, Kui has been able to firmly gain the upper hand in one-on-one sparring with Amona, and is no longer the third-ranked being in the past.
In essence, according to Douluo Continent’s customary division of departments, Kui can be regarded as both an auxiliary department and a control department.
And the abilities in both aspects are very strong.
A large part of the reason why Amona was able to defeat Kui in the soul master stage was due to the physical advantage of the beast soul master over the weapon soul master in the early stage.
And this gap will gradually decrease as the soul master's life level increases, especially when the fourth ring is a ten-thousand-year soul ring, Amona can no longer do it with physical superiority alone. Crush Kui.
With the blessing of Soul Sect-level soul power, Erkui's Soul-Jiling Wood already has the ability to control Amona.
In addition, Kui's distraction soul refining technique is second only to Lin Zhi among the soul fighting beasts, and he is the second one to break through to the four-heart realm. His control of the soul-absorbing wood has become almost superb. .
In contrast, Amona cannot directly enhance her combat effectiveness through the distraction effect of the Distracting Soul Refining Technique.
Once again and again, gaps will arise.
"Ha..."
Amona also knew that she was currently at the bottom of the three beast heads. She sighed and looked at the night sky with somewhat hazy eyes, muttering to herself. Saying: "How about I also express my desire to strengthen my strength to the leader?"
"The leader is at a critical period." Kui Lengbuding said.
Amona couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "You are exaggerating. Of course I know this, but he is not so busy that he doesn't have any free time, right? Doesn't the leader occasionally still Will you come out to see our situation?"
Hearing this, Kui's expression suddenly turned cold and he lowered his voice angrily. : "Amona, shut your mouth! You shouldn't forget what can and cannot be said!"
Amona pouted: "Aren't we the only two here? Okay, okay, I I know I'm wrong, so I won't say anything anymore."
"I will come out occasionally to take a look." If other soul fighting beasts knew about this, they would be shocked.
Because for them, the leader only appeared once at the beginning after arriving at the camp in the Catastrophe Mountains. The rest of the time, he was in a state of seclusion. This situation has lasted for a full year.
But the five people including Grace, Lin Zhi and the three beast heads knew that this was not the case.
When the leader returned, there was another young man with a very similar appearance to the leader.
When all the soul fighting beasts were confused and guessing, the leader suddenly announced to everyone that this person was his most valued disciple and their future leader who would inherit his position in the future.
That is the so-called... "Young Master".
You can imagine how the Soul Fighting Beasts felt when a young master appeared on their head for no apparent reason.
But their mood is their mood. Having been trained as death warriors since childhood, they have a loyalty to You Chen that is as loyal as yearning for the sun. Even if the person they serve changes, this loyalty will not fade too much.
Every time Young Master Youxing comes out for inspection, they will all salute. During this year, the recognition of the young master was gradually established.
For the Soul Fighting Beast, You Chen introduced You Xing as his successor.
But for the five current leaders of Soul Fighting Beast, he said something else. He said - he has a special twin martial spirit, and this posture means that he switches to the second one. The posture of the martial soul queen.
To this day, even if it is revealed that Youxing and Youchen are the same person, it will not be a fatal blow to Youchen.
If he had to hide even the five people selected from the best among the soul fighting beasts, who had passed the second test in terms of ability and loyalty, then he probably wouldn't have anyone he could trust in this world.
Even if it is not necessary, You Chen will take the initiative to reveal the secret of his "twin martial souls".
Shared secrets have always been a great way to strengthen relationships.
Happiness is often obtained through comparison.
If we say that the previous promotions only gave them "power" higher than that of ordinary beast soldiers and beast envoys, it allowed them to gain identity recognition in terms of comparison of power and status.
The secret is to give them a higher "right to know" and "intimate relationship" compared to others, allowing them to feel the superiority brought about by their closer distance compared to other "believers" and "gods".
'Look, they are still struggling with their loyalty between [Young Master] and [Leader], but we don’t have such troubles at all, because we are one of the few who know [Young Master] and [Leader] Leader] is a minority with the same character! ’
People will always feel complacent because they are the superior minority.
The ability to control others at will is just a symptom of the fun that power brings to them. This sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is the most intoxicating source of power.
In other words, what they gained from it surpassed the cognition of others, and they mistakenly thought that they had achieved self-transcendence, thereby satisfying the highest level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.
And You Chen is cultivating them to have this kind of cognition tied to themselves, in order to gain their higher level of loyalty.
Of course, in addition to these, there is a simpler and more practical reason why You Chen let You Xing come to the stage - You Chen's mission line is stuck.
If he wants to get new tasks, he can only use a trumpet to be active in the outside world.
Actually, triggering the task of the corresponding task line does not require him to be in the corresponding wandering star or wandering dust state at that point in time.
What is important is that the target's special emotion toward You Xing or You Chen is enough to break through the emotional threshold that triggers the task.
For this reason, it is important to maintain people's understanding of Yusei so that his behavior and personality can be traced, and he is not a character who suddenly appears out of nowhere.
Disciple of Master Youchen, young master of a mysterious organization, super genius fighting across ranks...each identity aspect can attract different attention and hostility.
"Qui, Amona, thank you for your hard work."
Just when Amona curled her lips to admit her mistake, a voice suddenly sounded from the darkness.
“Chief, leader!?” Amona almost screamed in horror, but she still suppressed this impulse with her strong spiritual will.
"Chief!"
Kui's brows also jumped, indicating that he was not as calm as he appeared. He was also frightened, but he was more unique in controlling his expression.
He hurriedly said: "This is what we should do."
You Chen nodded: "I keep accounts according to merit."
After saying that, Feng Chen He walked quietly towards the camp.
Amona and Kui looked at each other.
The girl paused, winked and said: "Kui, you know the leader best. Look at the leader's expression. How is it? Is everything going well?"
Waiting for Kui to reveal himself Interpretation, the voice of You Chen who had left suddenly floated in the wind.
“By the way, Amona, for leaking important secrets without authorization, I will go back to Grace and deduct 10,000 yuan of credit.”
Amona’s face turned pale, she scratched her cheek, and said The speechless Kui smiled: "It seems that the leader heard it? Tell me, when did the leader come back? Or is his hearing really that good?"
Kui rolled his eyes, not intending to talk to this stupid big cat anymore, and directly distanced himself for a long time.
