Chapter 179 I Have to Rely on You at the Critical Moment!

"He really did it."

Outside Nanyang City, Shen Shiyi, who personally went to the surrounding Jiyun County to observe the situation, watched all this blankly.

When collecting food, he, Lao Ten and Eleven led a team through Jiyun County. At that time, it was really a miserable situation for Shura. They who had never experienced war were so vomiting that they were vomiting. Everywhere in the dark places of the house, they were vomiting. Residual pieces of meat, and seven or eight living corpses can appear from time to time.

As a result, their collection of food was extremely slow, and they even had to rely on Brother Qi's support to barely receive enough food.

But I didn’t expect that in just ten days, Jiyun County would have regained such popularity?

Although it is definitely not as good as before, compared with the desolation during the day and the howling of ghosts and wolves at night, Jiyun County at this time has basically eliminated all living corpses, and nearly four to five thousand people have been rescued from the surrounding villages and towns. Looking at the young and strong villagers who are busy rebuilding, although everywhere is still desolate and dilapidated, there is already a lot of vitality!

It’s only been ten days!

The key is that Chen Qing's army expanded at an incredibly fast rate. Due to the affluent life in Nanyang City, even with the temptation of generous military pay, only a handful of people responded to Chen Qing's initial response. On the day of departure, Chen Qing seemed to have only collected two thousand recruits. .

But in just ten days, not only the two thousand recruits turned into strong fighters who could stand alone and guard the county. There is a steady stream of new young people joining, and the number of people in the two counties is estimated to have nearly doubled for Chen Qing!

And these are only the two counties closest to Nanyang City.

You must know that the closer the county town to Nanyang is, the harder it is to suffer, and the fewer people will survive. The further away from the river, the farther the county town is from the main city, the more survivors will be. Nanyang as a whole governs dozens of county towns, with a population of nearly Even if only one-tenth of a billion survive, according to Chen Qing's model, how many soldiers can he raise in the end?

"Seventh Brother, does he have no restrictions?"

"There should be," Shen Laoqi said with a smile, "It's just that we don't know where the restrictions are."

"Whose side are we on, Brother Qi?" Shen Shiyi asked curiously.

He was obviously asking about Chen Qing and the imperial court!

Chen Qing secretly hired mercenaries for an obvious purpose: he wanted to separate Jiangnan!

And if he wants to separate Jiangnan, the Shen family, the local leader of Jiangnan, must express their position whether they will resist Chen Qing and join the imperial court in suppressing this rebellion, or whether they will work with Chen Qing and face the pressure of the imperial court to truly separatize Jiangnan!

"Then it depends on what Chen Qing can give to my Shen family." Shen Laoqi said quietly.

Chen Qing's potential is indeed extremely strong. This fighting god mode that can transmit power is simply an unreasonable weapon. If there are no side effects and disadvantages, and given enough time, Chen Qing will definitely have the strength to be a direct enemy of the imperial court.

But what he lacks should be time!

Although the Great Jin Dynasty has only been in existence for twenty years, its foundation is quite solid. The blood families supporting this new dynasty account for 80% of the total number in the world, and the warlock family has 90% of the imperial court. With such a size, looking at all human beings, Years of history are extremely rare. The previous imperial court that had unified the Central Plains for thousands of years probably did not have the level of support it does now.

Not to mention, how much terrifying power those aristocratic families gained under the hands of King Qin.

Nowadays, there are even numbers of powerful men approaching the level of the ancestors of the Shen family in the imperial court. With such power, if he goes all out, Chen Qing's current power will be no different from that of an ant.

The risks of cooperating with Chen Qing are actually quite high.

But risks often coexist with benefits. The Shen family has never been a stable type. If Chen Qing can show enough sincerity and sufficient protection, the Shen family will not be unable to stand by Chen Qing.

Of course, at least Chen Qing must show some strength to resist the imperial court.

Master Shen Qi said quietly: "Now we are pretending to be deaf and dumb. Whether we will cooperate or not depends on how far Mr. Xiao Chen can develop in this limited time!"

"Limited time?" Old Eleven was stunned: "Brother Qi, what do you mean by this?"

"I'm not good at formations, but I can tell." Shen Laoqi looked at the thick fog on the river and said, "This formation probably won't last long!"

——

"How long can the magic circle last?"

Shen Laoer frowned and looked at Chen Qing: "What do you mean? Didn't you say that this array is an ancient array, maybe hundreds of thousands of years old?"

"You also know that it is hundreds of thousands of years." Chen Qing rolled his eyes at the other party: "You are very strong for being able to persevere until now, okay? Since the boss of the Jin family can do so many things in the West Sea, how can you, the ancestor of the Shen family, secretly After working with the ancient insects inside for so long, you should know that this magic circle is full of holes. Otherwise, why do you think that monster has been imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years, but only your ancestor can contact it? "

"It's not that your ancestor was lucky enough to meet you, but those ancient insects couldn't trap them anymore, so they chose your ancestor!"

Shen Laoer: "."

"Then what is it now?" Shen Laoer frowned.

"Now? The reason why it can still be maintained now is that several ancient insects are not ready yet. It is different now. The eldest princess's situation has been successfully laid. The one in Xihai should be almost ready. The senior family members have If they get enough containers, they will find an opportunity to break through the formation!"

"Why do we need to have enough containers to break the formation?" Shen Laoer asked in confusion.

"Because of fear." Chen Qing said with a smile: "There are still three thousand nails in the ruined ship. This magic circle is the crystallization of the wisdom of the group of magic circle masters back then. If you want to break it, the nine ancient insects can only use the ultimate peeling method!"

"Skin peeling method?"

"Well, it's similar to the way a snake sheds its skin." Chen Qing lowered his voice and said, "That's the dragon-transformation technique that your ancestor has been dreaming about!"

Shen Laoer's eyelids twitched: "Speak more clearly!"

"The art of transforming into a dragon is a reincarnation art that combines yin and yang. It uses the method of shedding the skin of a snake to gain new life. Each time it sheds its skin, a large amount of karma will be shed, leaving only the essence of the body. The old decay is gone, and the essence and blood are reborn. This is transformation. The root of the dragon, and this method was actually originally created by the ancient insects to break the formation, because the magic circle relies on imprints to mark the ancient insects, and as long as the ancient insects continue to shed their skin, they will imprint their souls layer by layer. If they are eventually taken off and the magic circle cannot be tracked, it will be useless to them!"

"That's it." Shen Laoer nodded, and then asked: "You just said that the reason why they didn't use the dragon transformation technique at the beginning was because they were afraid?"

"Yes" Chen Qing nodded: "This technique will greatly weaken the body, especially dozens of consecutive peelings, which will make the body fall into an extremely weak state. At that time, the ancient insects will need their relatives to protect themselves."

"For so many years, those guys have been lurking and forbearing, condensing their essence and blood, and cultivating high-level dependents one after another, just to be used at this critical moment!"

"As long as there are enough containers to hold their dependents, the formation breaking will begin!"

"Hehehe"

A sinister smile came from the mouth of Shen Laoliu next to him. Inside the expressionless and sluggish Shen Laoliu, a certain ancient being finally couldn't help but make a sound.

"I thought you would hold it in forever." Chen Qing looked at Shen Laoliu in a funny way.

"Who are you?" Shen Lao Liu stiffly raised his head. When Shen Lao Er next to him saw this, his expression changed drastically. He thought he had completely controlled the guy in Lao Liu's body, but he didn't expect that the other party could still move.

"The art of transforming into a dragon was created by our father after he was trapped in the magic circle. No one in this world should know about it. How do you know this kind of thing? Did that bitch Bai Yu tell you?"

Chen Qing rolled his eyes slightly. Only a sinister woman like Bai Yu would not tell him about this kind of destiny!

Chen Qing had been thinking about this life gate for a long time.

After all, when the Dragon Palace is opened, most of the players are still in the first stage. Facing the complete ancient insects, it is impossible to be their opponent.

Any game is meaningless if there is absolutely no chance of winning and it is difficult.

But Chen Qing has a habit. Whenever he designs a monster, he likes to design the difficulty first, and then the weaknesses, giving him a sense of pleasure in overcoming them.

As a result, after designing the ancient insects, we found that the players in the first stage had no way to defeat the ancient insects.

So he settled for the next best thing. Chen Qing could only come up with a life gate. If the player wants to defeat the ancient insect, he must find the location of the ancient insect and defeat it when he is extremely weak after the ancient insect breaks the formation. All the relatives around you, kill the ancient insect before it recovers!

This flaw is too rigid and not clever. This is also the design that Chen Qing feels is the most failed.

"How much longer?" Shen and Lao asked quickly.

"It shouldn't be long." Chen Qing sighed: "The eldest princess's side is your fifth brother. After swallowing the Golden Dragon Guard, if it can capture the Duke of Qin's team again, even if it only captures half of it, then it will already have the most powerful force in the world. It’s a powerful container, especially the Dukes. If it is captured, several of its relatives will probably be close to His Majesty’s level, and they are almost foolproof!”

"And on the other side of the West Sea, after your boss swallows all the soldiers in the West Sea, he will probably start to break the formation!"

"From what you say, it seems like we can only wait to die?"

"How can you say that?" Chen Qing smiled and shrugged: "Isn't there you? You are our big killer here. At the critical moment, we have to rely on you!"

Shen Laoer: "."
