Chapter 157 Xinwan City and Jiyin Patriarch
The main city of Luoshui.
"Dry!"
"too difficult!"
"The whole army was wiped out without even seeing the BOSS!"
"There are so many third-level elite monsters, the difficulty is beyond the level!"
"Hahaha, exciting and exciting, I like this kind of challenging adventure!"
"The Three Kingdoms is originally a game about suffering and even death. It's normal to die a few times!"
"..."
Representatives of top players such as Ye Limeng, Gu Zhou, Brother Black Eyed Rui, Xianyu Tuji, Xiao Lingdang, Demon Demon and Demon Demon gathered together, and they began to exchange and carefully study the information they had obtained so far.
Brother Heitong Rui said: "This time our three major corps and other second-level players were almost all dispatched, but they quickly encountered the result of the entire army being annihilated. It seems that the difficulty of developing the Wancheng map is far more difficult than imagined!"
"Yes, although I had guessed that it would not be so easy, I didn't expect that we would be on the street so quickly."
The monster asked: "Brother Rui, do you have any good suggestions?"
Brother Heitongrui shook his head first and then said: "We know too little about the new map now. My only suggestion is to unite to develop the new map, obtain more valuable information, and then make plans for the next step of division of labor."
Crazy Knife King: "I agree! Our level and strength are not strong enough! Only by joining forces can we ensure sufficient ability to clear monsters and explore more areas!"
Ye Limeng also nodded and said: "Although the monsters in the new map are of high levels, there are also a lot of resources released. As long as you can kill a few more monsters every time you explore, you won't lose anything!"
"makes sense!"
"In that case, don't waste your time!"
"It's a long trip back and forth, so hurry up and try it a few more times!"
"..."
Inside the Lord's Castle.
Xiaoba reminded: "Master, the players led by several large corps have regrouped and set off!"
"So fast?"
Hang Yu originally wanted to adjust the task guidance.
Now that we see players being so proactive, we might as well wait and see again.
This group of players is rich in wealth. This round of death will bring in an income of 16.7 million yuan. Today’s guaranteed energy income will definitely reach more than 2 million. If they die in another round, the income will be at least 3.5 million yuan. !
This is still a conservative estimate.
The more you die, the more income you will earn!
Xiao Ba said: "The morale of the Scourge Army has not declined, but their fighting spirit has become stronger!"
Hang Yu smiled and said: "It's normal. As long as you always give positive feedback, as long as you gain something from failure and death again and again, let alone death once or twice, even if you die a thousand or ten thousand times, these people will still enjoy it and even enjoy it. in."
This is not the first day that these players have played Three Kingdoms.
Death and failure are commonplace in suffering games.
Now players are full of interest in the monsters and situations in Wancheng area!
For them, this is a mysterious and unknown journey full of exciting challenges and adventures. One or two deaths are not enough to cause frustration, not to mention that high-level elite monsters like the Thousand-Eyed Centipede can provide very generous rewards. .
Xiaoba said: "The master is recruiting more Canglong Guard troops. He can guide players to die a few more times to reserve more spare energy!"
Hang Yu was speechless.
Xiaoba is really a living hell king.
Hang Yu will recruit 2,000 units in one go the day after tomorrow, including 1,800 Natural Disaster Army soldiers. In addition, he will recruit another 200 Canglong Guard soldiers who are absolutely loyal, absolutely controllable, and follow orders and prohibitions.
The size of Canglong Guard will reach 270 people.
The size of the Scourge Legion will reach 3,730 people.
The expansion of Canglong Guard soldiers is a need for territory defense and maintenance of daily order.
After all, as the number of territories and towns continues to increase, as the number of players continues to grow, the defense and stability maintenance of the territory requires more and more manpower, and the existing seventy Canglong Guards + Zhou Cang alone are far from enough.
In fact, 270 Canglong Guards is still not enough.
Hang Yu plans to select an armed force from the indigenous affiliated troops and village warriors from various places to train it into a garrison regiment on the periphery of the territory. He can even select some who are particularly loyal and qualified to become Canglong Guards.
In the end, the ratio between the Azure Dragon Guard and the Scourge Legion was 1:9 or 2:8.
The reason why Xiaoba suggested that Hang Yu cause more deaths for players is because the expansion of Canglong Guard's recruitment will require a lot of investment in cultivating them, which can be obtained by harvesting players.
"Building the Canglong Guard is very important, but everything has its priorities."
Hang Yu said calmly: "The situation in Wancheng is very different from Wanniu Mountain. Although the lord war was triggered in Wanniu Mountain, the opponent was only a dragon lizard lord with four or five years of experience, and the threat he posed was limited."
"The abyssal power of Woniu Mountain has been sealed and suppressed by Guan Yu and Zhou Cang."
"So there is no direct threat from the power of the abyss during the development process."
"Wancheng is different this time!"
Xiaoba is just a smart assistant.
It has no lord training.
Not enough is known about the dangers of the abyssal world.
Hang Yu felt that Wancheng's abyssal forces were not only very powerful, but also had a high probability of not being sealed!
If you cannot collect intelligence as soon as possible to prepare for a rainy day, and at the same time strengthen yourself and the overall strength of the army, you may be seriously threatened by the abyss or local forces at any time.
Under such circumstances, it is unwise to blindly harvest the Scourge Army and build the Canglong Guard. After all, although the Canglong Guard has absolute controllability, it is far inferior to the Scourge Army in terms of cost performance.
Players can be harvested.
But before the situation stabilizes.
Hang Yu will feed back most of the essence harvested from the players through tasks or activities. As the saying goes, sharpening the sword will never stop chopping wood.
Of course, the Scourge Legion cannot be trained to be too strong.
Otherwise, the leeks will be too hard to cut.
When Hang Yu felt that the strength of the Scourge Army was sufficient to meet the needs of territorial expansion and enemy defense, he would slow down his investment in the Scourge Army and invest a large amount of his excess energy into the cultivation of Canglong Guards and the cultivation of important NPCs.
all in all.
As a game planner.
What Hang Yu has to do is to firmly control various rhythms.
It can neither make players too weak to beat anything nor make players too strong, causing the game to lose necessary frustrations and challenges.
Hang Yu noticed.
A force composed of three major natural disaster corps.
At this time, they had arrived in the wilderness led by Ye Limeng, and they headed directly towards the Centipede Canyon full of centipede holes.
Although the number of players has increased a lot this time, it is estimated that there is still no chance of winning. It is purely an act of suicide.
The strength of each Thousand-Eyed Centipede is equivalent to that of an Abyss Commander of about level 14. There are at least nearly a hundred monsters of this strength in Centipede Canyon, which has greatly exceeded the ability of the Scourge Army to deal with it.
What's more, there is a third-level commander!
Unless all the head players have risen to level three or above.
Otherwise, there is no chance of winning against an abyss commander of this level.
Hang Yu did not intervene for the time being.
Keep watching behind the scenes.
He is also very interested in the third-level commander in Centipede Valley, not only because the third-level wild monster commander is too rare and extremely valuable, but also because this monster has a high probability of being a secondary source of pollution.
in other words.
If you can successfully hunt it.
Hang Yu can devour a third-level secondary source of evil and obtain at least one third-level talent point, and one third-level talent point can be split into ten second-level talent points.
This is enough to light up the remaining lord talent.
Thus, Hang Yu's conditions for advancing to the third level of lord were met.
This will not only make Hang Yu's personal strength improve by leaps and bounds, but also broaden the level limit of the entire territory, allowing Zhou Cang, Zhang San, Li Si and others to break through to the third level.
By then, the strength and foundation of the entire territory will have achieved a qualitative breakthrough, and it will be able to ensure resistance in the face of threats from Wancheng.
but.
Hang Yu was paying attention to Ye Limeng's team.
Another player team in Baihu Mountain is in trouble.
This discovery immediately attracted Hang Yu's attention. He immediately opened two lords' horizons at the same time. One continued to follow the activities of the three major corps in the Wancheng area, and the other was tracking the situation on Baihu Mountain.
…………
There are many smart people in this group of players.
Raising a glass to the moon is undoubtedly one of them.
After all, there is strong support from national institutions behind Raising a Glass to the Moon, so the connection between the abyss dreams has been analyzed.
According to the judgment of the Special Investigation Bureau, there are one Abyss Fog Gate in the east, west, north and south. They connect the fragments of the abyss dream to each other.
Tens of thousands or even millions of nightmare fragments form a huge grid. Each map is connected to four maps. As long as the maps are 1 distance away, they are all interconnected.
so.
Theoretically speaking.
You can enter Wancheng from the main city of Luoshui.
Then you can definitely enter from the Baihu Mountain map.
The White Tiger Mountain area is the territory that the Scourge Army seized after defeating the Dragon Lizard Lord. Although some players and NPCs have already migrated here, it is generally a relatively low-popular place.
Nowadays, new players are generally in the Luoshui area, and more advanced players are mostly farming monsters in Woniu Mountain. As for the Baihu Mountain map, it is not perfect in terms of terrain environment, monster distribution, or monster information.
Unknown means risk.
Except for a few players who like to pursue excitement and explore new things, most people prefer to upgrade monsters on the Luoshui map.
Toast to the Moon did not join the team of Black Tong Rui or Ye Limeng. Instead, he took a team of his own and teleported to Baihu City, and then teleported from Baihu City to a place called Luling Township.
Luling Township has the southernmost blessing point of Baihu Mountain.
After toasting and looking at the moon, they arrived at Luling Township. They soon saw from a distance a huge white fog door appearing in the red fog wall of the dream world. The presence of the fog door meant that they could pass through.
"Very good!"
"This discovery is very important!"
It was very exciting to raise a glass and look at the moon at the ruins of Luling Township and overlook the Wumen Gate.
This means that the Natural Disaster Army has found a second road to Wancheng. If Ye Limeng and Heitong Rui are blocked in the west of Wancheng, they can enter from the north of Wancheng.
The level 8 ranger-like warrior asked: "Should we go take a look?"
The level 10 warlock peeed three thousand feet against the wind and said: "Nonsense, it's already here. Of course you have to go and take a look. Maybe you will find something important."
Level 8 monk Dawn Knight: "I heard that the exploration of the Wancheng map by the three major corps did not go well. If we can complete the Wancheng mission before the three major corps, we can definitely make a big splash in front of others!"
Level 10 Warrior Blind Swordsman: "Agree!"
There are nine people in the Toast to the Moon team. Although these people are not well-known at the moment, they are potential stocks carefully selected and trained by the Special Investigation Bureau, and they are also very loyal to Toast to the Moon.
In the future, he will definitely become one of the backbones of the Immortal Dragon Soul.
He raised his glass and looked at the moon: "Let's go!"
The nine people left the ruins of Luling Township on spirit horses and galloped across the wilderness at extremely fast speeds toward the Abyss Fog Gate in the south. It took about two hours to arrive near the Abyss Fog Gate.
Although I encountered writing troubles along the way, the monster levels on the Baihu Mountain map basically did not exceed level 9. With the level 12 master Gao Bei Wangyue here, as long as I was not surrounded by monsters, it would not be a big problem.
Because it is less than twenty miles away from the fog gate.
He raised his glass to look at the moon and ordered to slow down and approach carefully.
"Boss!" The wind-like warrior returned from reconnaissance on the hillside and reported: "There are a large number of undead people in the wilderness ahead!"
"The undead people of the abyss?"
He raised his glass and looked at the moon with some confusion: "This kind of humanoid monster usually only appears near ancient towns or various ruins, but there is no such place for dozens of miles around, so how can there be undead people."
The wind-like warrior said: "These undead people are different from those we have seen before. Boss, you'd better come and see for yourself!"
Raise your glass to look at the moon and then ascend to the commanding heights.
He understood why the wind-like warrior said this.
The Abyss Undead are the most common humanoid monsters in the Abyss Nightmare. They are low-level monsters transformed by ordinary civilians after being swallowed by the Abyss Nightmare.
Although these civilians have gained endless lifespan and immortality, they have already lost their minds in the cycle of nightmares and turned into walking zombies with only violence and chaos.
There are a large number of undead in Heting Township, Luoshui Execution Ground, and many town ruins in the Woniu Mountain area in the Luoshui area. The levels and strengths of the undead in different areas vary, and those exceeding level 10 are rare.
However.
At this moment. [Abyss Undead], a level 18 ordinary unit... Introduction: He was once an ordinary villager in Beilin Township. He was deformed and turned into an irrational humanoid monster after falling into the nightmare of the abyss.
"Damn it! Did I read that right? Level 18 undead?!"
Against the wind, he peed three thousand feet and rubbed his eyes.
I wonder if there is something wrong with my eyes.
The appearance of these undead people is also different from those seen before.
Each undead is about one foot tall. Their bodies have obvious animalistic characteristics. Not only do they grow a lot of strong hair from their bodies, but they also grow sharp claws and teeth, just like a group of apes and dogs. hybrid beast.
At a glance.
There are quite a few!
The blind swordsman said: "What's going on with these undead people?"
He raised his glass and looked at the moon and smiled: "We are lucky. These undead people should not be monsters in the White Tiger Mountain area."
Dawn Knight: "Boss, what you mean is... they all come from the Wancheng area?"
He raised his glass and looked at the moon and nodded: "There are no towns or ruins nearby, and the level is completely inconsistent with the abyssal creatures in the Baihu Mountain area. There is a high probability that they ran out of the fog gate of the abyss."
Speaking of which.
There was a pause.
He continued: "Of course this is not the point. The most important point is that the activities of most abyss monsters are regular and within a scope. Unless guided by external forces, they usually will not leave this scope."
"So if my guess is correct, not far from the Fog Gate of the Abyss from this direction, you can find a town or ruins in the Wancheng area, and these undead people come from this place!"
The other eight players became excited.
"There are towns or ruins."
"There is a high probability that the God of Luck Stone will appear."
"Doesn't this mean you can light up the blessing points?!"
Among the exploration tasks issued by the territory is the task of lighting up a blessing point in the Wancheng area.
Not only is the reward for this mission quite generous, the most important thing is that obtaining a stronghold is very important to the Scourge. This move is enough to enhance their honor and reputation!
“There are a lot of undead people!”
"Let's clear it up first!"
"Such a high-level undead man probably has very little experience!"
Raising a glass to the moon and leading his men to start hunting, the undead, as the most common monsters, are mostly ordinary monsters. Not only are they weak and less dangerous than elite monsters of the same level, but they also lack intelligence and movement. Very stiff.
The undead refresh faster.
After brushing out a batch, it will be refreshed again in two to three days.
This makes them the first choice for many players to upgrade and spawn monsters.
Although the group of undead people we met now were of a high level, they were not expected to be very strong. And there was a second-level boss like Tou Bei Mochi Yue, who had a strong background. As long as they were not beaten, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
After a few minutes.
Against the wind, he peeed under the wind blade three thousand feet away.
The first undead being besieged fell down after running out of blood.
These beast-turned-undead people were extremely fast, but because they had no powerful skills, they posed a relatively limited threat. The entire battle went very smoothly, and the wind-like warriors hurried up to pick up the trophies.
[You picked up trophies, energy +1600, magic stone fragments +2000, worn out undead necklace +1! 】
"It's so easy!"
“Experience really teaches you a lot!”
"There are so many undead people, but no one is here to grab monsters. This wave is so exciting!"
"..."
The drops from the undead are very shabby, usually only a piece of gray equipment with gray quality and almost exhausted durability. This kind of equipment has no use value and can only be recycled as waste and turned into materials.
But each undead will explode with 1600 essence!
This is very close to an elite monster around level 10.
The Yellow Turban Demon Soldier is a level 10 elite monster, which is much more difficult and risky to deal with than the undead. Moreover, they are relatively rare in number and refresh very slowly.
And at this moment.
The light is above the wilderness in front of you.
There are at least one or two hundred abyssal undead wandering around.
This is simply an upgrading holy land for players around level 10, allowing players at this stage to farm monsters and accumulate experience in a relatively safe way, which can be used to improve various skills and pay 20,000 energy for advancement.
[You picked up trophies, energy +1600, magic stone fragments +2000...]
[You picked up the trophies, energy +1600, magic stone fragments +2000...]
[You picked up trophies, energy +1600, magic stone fragments +2000...]
【……】
It only took two hours.
I killed more than thirty undead people.
A total of 48,000 points of energy were gained in this process.
On average, each of the nine people can receive about 5,300 essences.
In order to improve the overall strength of his subordinates, Toast to the Moon chose to distribute them equally.
The Dawn Knight and the Windlike Warrior were directly promoted to level 9, only a hair away from level 10, while the Blind Swordsman and the Brave Wind took a big step forward in accumulating enough energy to advance.
"Work harder!"
"Raise the level first!"
"Then it's not too late to explore behind the fog door!"
Raising his glass to the moon, he realized that this was a very rare opportunity to upgrade. He believed that as long as he could wipe out all the undead people nearby, he could easily upgrade from level 12 to level 13.
Others can quickly reach level two.
It's not far away if we can't break through immediately.
"Hahaha, it's so cool. There are so many high-level undead people. No one grabs the monsters, but they all belong to us!"
The players of the Immortal Dragon Soul are very excited. Even if there are no other gains, just finding such an upgrade treasure land makes today's trip worthwhile.
With the skillful cooperation of several people.
The wind-like warrior attracted two undead people.
Raising glasses to the moon and others are preparing to start step by step.
Although it is a bit dangerous to have two undead together, it is still within the range of the ability to deal with it. As long as no more than three are dealt with at the same time, the team's ability can easily win.
Who would have guessed.
at this time.
Something unexpected happened.
A strange blue-and-white will-o'-the-wisp fire came from behind.
This will-o'-the-wisp split into two clusters and hit the undead people present.
When these undead people were hit by the inconspicuous will-o'-the-wisp, their bodies were immediately engulfed in a large ball of flames, and were burned to ashes almost in the blink of an eye.
"Holy shit!"
"what's going on!"
"Who did it!"
The other players who raised their glasses to the moon were all shocked.
Although the undead are not powerful monsters, as a level 18 monster, the health bar is still very thick. There are only a handful of strong men in the Scourge Army who have the ability to kill them instantly, let alone kill several of them in one go.
besides.
I have never seen this spell before.
It’s not a territorial skill!
The nine players’ faces were filled with shock and vigilance.
A figure wearing a black robe slowly appeared in front of him.
The skin of his whole body was covered by robes, making it airtight. Even his face was wearing a strange mask made of white bone. Two groups of blue flames could be seen beating around his eyes.
[He Song], level? ? ? ...Introduction:? ? ?
Raising the glass and looking at the moon, I found that I could see the Taoist's level name, but I couldn't see the level and other information. It could be seen that the other party's level and strength should not be underestimated, and they were probably far above me.
The wind-like warrior asked: "Who are you?"
Without saying a word, He Song released a spell. A large number of black vines quickly spread and grew, instantly entangling the nine people from their feet. The poisonous thorns among them pierced into the body and directly paralyzed the body, making them lose their mobility.
"Fuck!"
"What?"
"Let me go now!"
Several players realized they might have encountered a villain.
He Song said in a low voice: "I ask, you answer!"
The wind-like warrior: "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you!"
"court death!"
He Song glanced at him without seeing any movement. The black thorn vines tightened and began to suck blood. In an instant, the wind-like warrior was sucked into dried meat, and the player's health bar was reduced to zero on the spot.
"Who are you? Where did you come from!"
He Song asked again.
"He is a cruel person!"
"But this method is meaningless to us!"
"Huh, no matter who you are, if you offend us, we won't have any good juice to eat!"
"Yes, I advise you to let us go quickly. I have already remembered you. If you dare to kill me, I will take revenge!"
"..."
He Song also didn't expect that his act of killing one of their companions, instead of making these people feel scared, actually made them say a bunch of puzzling words.
Is there something wrong with these people's brains?
He Song showed no mercy and immediately took action again, using flames to burn the four clamoring players to ashes.
He said again with a gloomy breath: "I ask again, where are you from, are you the subordinates of the Star Lords?!"
He is indeed a villain!
It must be a hostile NPC in the Wancheng area!
I’ve never heard of this name! It’s probably an original character from the game!
At this time, he raised his glass and looked at the moon and said, "He Song, it's not impossible for you to want us to answer your questions, but you must answer a few of our questions first!"
Hear the other party call his name directly.
He Song was obviously stunned.
Confusion ensues.
These guys are about to die. They don't care about their own lives, but they want to ask themselves questions?
Raising the glass and looking at the moon, for fear of He Song making a move, he immediately continued: "Who are you, where did you come from, how many years has it been since the abyss of Wancheng fell... I think these questions should not be difficult to answer, as long as You answer these simple questions, and we will answer your questions, otherwise you will never get any answers even if you kill us."
There is no way he would expose territory information.
All he wanted to do was deceive and obtain information.
As long as the information is obtained, it is up to you to kill or behead.
"Hmph, it's okay to tell you. I'm from Xinwan City, and I'm one of the direct disciples of Patriarch Jiyin!"
"As for the land of Wancheng, it has been one hundred and twenty years since it was swallowed by the abyss."
He Song answered the question of raising a glass to the moon. After all, there was no need for him to hide it. These things were not secrets, but common sense that any commoner in Nanyang knew.
Xinwan City?
The Patriarch Jiyin?
Raising a glass to look at the moon, my thoughts quickly turned around.
If there is Xinwan City, there must be Old Wancheng.
This He Song does not have the aura of the abyss, so he is probably not a villain, but an aborigine. This shows that at least there are normal people living in Xinwan City, and the towns on this map have not completely fallen.
One hundred and twenty years?
I didn’t expect that time in this area would be so distorted!
The natives of this plane are a bit strong, and they can actually resist in the abyss for such a long time.
What is Jiyin Patriarch? Why does it sound like a character in a fairy tale? Is this place still known as the Three Kingdoms era?
(End of this chapter)
