Chapter 288 Siege Plan
With the speed of Long Xuan and Di Xin, it didn't take long for them to surpass the group of people who destroyed the spiritual medicine in front.
However, just as the two of them passed by the group of people, a strong wind suddenly came from behind them.
The two people's faces changed, and they hurriedly dodged to the side. Two poisonous insects flew past them and blocked them.
"Hey! The soul perception is good, you can dodge this."
About ten people in white clothes ran over and surrounded the two people.
"What do you mean?" Long Xuan glanced around and asked with a frown.
The white-clothed man in the lead said: "You are behind us, you drink the soup, if we are behind you, then we drink the soup, what do you think we do?"
"How can I let you go? And there are only two of you. Since we can bully the few with the majority, we can't let you go." The white-clothed man in the lead sneered.
"You also want to bully the few with the majority? Do you know that the person who said this to me last time is dead, don't you know who I am?" Long Xuan said in a daze.
He really couldn't imagine that after he became so famous on the island, there were still people who were not afraid of him and dared to come and cause trouble for him.
"I don't care who you are. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame you for insisting on walking ahead of us! Die!"
After saying that, the group of men in white rushed towards the two.
Hearing this, Long Xuan completely understood that this group of people really didn't know who he was. They must have arrived on the island later and didn't see the melee.
It is also possible that they have never been to the island at all. After all, not all ships going to Tiandao must stop on that island. If they come late, they can just wait by the trench.
If this is the case, then he doesn't have to worry. He is afraid that this group of people know him. If this group of people dare to attack him even though they know him, it will be very difficult to deal with.
At this time, there are already many ships on the island behind him. Long Xuan is afraid that someone will walk ahead of him again, so he doesn't plan to hold back and fight quickly.
As a Ten Absolute Body, when he was in the late stage of marrow washing, he could kill the peak marrow washing Gu cultivators by leaps and bounds. Even Jun Zaitian, the invincible peak marrow washing Gu cultivator of the same level, was not his opponent.
Now he is already at the peak of marrow washing. If he meets the peak marrow washing Gu cultivator again, it will be like killing a dog. Under his full strength, few people can survive three moves.
What's more, there is also Di Xin who is also not easy to deal with beside him. With the two of them working together, how can these more than ten people be his opponents.
So in just less than a minute, the five clones returned, and there was no survivor of the white-clothed Gu cultivator.
However, Long Xuan looked at the blood on the ground, but did not find a corpse. He frowned deeply.
Good guy, the bodies of people who died on Tiandao Island will disappear out of thin air.
The spiritual medicines destroyed by this group of selfish people are not ordinary products. He wanted to take them back, but he didn't expect that all the corpses disappeared in an instant. He didn't get anything. He was busy for a long time and wasted so much time.
"Damn it! How dare that old guy steal the fruits of my labor!" Long Xuan cursed in his heart.
"Let's go! This time we are completely ahead. We don't need to waste time collecting low-value spiritual medicines. We should focus on rare varieties."
Long Xuan used the Eye of Heaven to scan the distance. After quickly finding the target, he immediately rushed in that direction...
...
The collection of spiritual medicines lasted for about three days. More than 10,000 people entered the island. Three days were enough to clean up the spiritual medicine resources on the island.
Originally, the people who came to Tiandao to search for treasures came from all over the world, and there were definitely 100,000 people, but some of them were filtered out by the four huge waterfalls, and the number of people who could successfully land on the island was less than 100,000.
And the Gu Xiu who had plundered all the spiritual medicines on the island began to slowly gather towards the City of Divine Machine.
According to the previous regulations, Cai Shao and the Ninth Prince were the leaders of the alliance, responsible for commanding a quarter of the Gu Xiu army to attack the east gate of the City of Divine Machine.
At this time, there were about 20,000 people gathered here, and a large number of Gu Xiu were still gathering here continuously.
Looking at the magnificent city in front of them, the people gathered outside the city were all shocked.
The city was black, and the city was made of precious black iron, the hardness of which was second only to mithril.
The entire city wall was made of black iron, how much black iron would it consume?
It is no exaggeration to say that if all the things in the city were not needed, just melting all the black iron in the city wall could buy countless empires.
The city wall of Shenji City alone was so valuable, how amazing would the treasures hidden inside be? Everyone was amazed and showed burning eyes.
Long Xuan also looked at the black iron city in front of him in shock, and was once again shocked by the old man's wealth.
There is no harm without comparison. He thought he was rich enough, but compared with the existence in the city, he was simply a poor bastard. Even the woman next to him, Di Xin, was richer than him, not to mention the young masters of Qian's Chamber of Commerce.
"Is it not possible to pick the black iron on the city wall?" Long Xuan suddenly asked.
"What do you think?" Emperor Xin rolled his eyes at him and said, "If the black iron on the city wall could be scraped off, it would have been scraped off long ago. The guy in the center of the city would never allow anyone to do that."
Emperor Xin looked at the wall and said, "Do you see the puppets standing on the wall?"
"The black puppet is made of black iron. It should be easy to deal with it with your strength."
"You should be careful with the silver and gold puppets."
"The silver puppet is made of mithril, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of the early stage of the Spirit Sea."
"Among them, the puppet made of mithril is equivalent to the strength of the middle stage of the Spirit Sea."
"The gold puppet is made of Gengjin, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of the late stage of the Spirit Sea."
"And the puppet general is made of There are about twelve puppets made of Gengjin essence in the city, and I don't know how many puppets the terrifying existence in the center of the city hides. "
"The marrow cleansing period Gu cultivators can't beat these two colors of puppets. They can only use human wave tactics to surround them. After a lot of people die, they can fight to the death of those puppets."
"And after the puppets die, they will disappear out of thin air. You can't get any mithril and Gengjin on them."
Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There are twelve puppets made of Gengjin essence. How much Gengjin essence will it take to consume.
He knows how difficult it is to obtain Gengjin essence. Even if he mines by cheating, he can only dig up Gengjin essence the size of a basketball, which can only make a puppet's head at most.
He is not calm. Is the gap between the rich and the poor so big?
Leng Yan's expression at this time is very calm, which is in sharp contrast with the shocked faces around him.
"It's normal. You know that in ancient times, materials were divided into twelve grades, and Gengjin was only a fourth-grade material, which was absolutely garbage material."
"In ancient times, there were as many garbage materials as there were. Gengjin was worthless at that time and was a common thing."
"And this ancient city came from ancient times, so it's not surprising that there are so many garbage materials in it."
"But the ancestors enjoyed the benefits and the descendants suffered. The ancestors wasted Gengjin. In our era, Gengjin has become a rare treasure."
"So you must not compare with the ancients. It's impossible to compare. We are poor because we were not born in a good era." Leng Yan sighed.
Long Xuan glanced at her. Leng Yan said similar words more than once. She yearned for the most glorious ancient times of Gu Xiu civilization. The more this scholar studied the ancient classics, the more he yearned for the era in the books.
After she said that, he wanted to invent a time-travel Gu and think of traveling directly to the past. What a broken place this is. The resources are so poor that even dogs can't stay here.
On the other side, Cai Shao and the Ninth Prince both looked at the wall with serious faces. A large number of Gu cultivators gathered behind them, waiting for the two to give an order, and they would rush into the city.
"Damn, the number of puppets on the wall has increased again. There are already 50,000 puppets on our east wall alone."
"There are 200,000 puppets on the four walls. I don't know how many puppets are guarding each room in the city. How can we fight?"
"I have never fought such a difficult battle. 20,000 people attack the wall guarded by 50,000 puppets. The attacking party has always had more people than the defending party. How can the party with fewer people attack the city!"
The Ninth Prince looked at the puppets on the wall with an ugly face and couldn't help cursing.
He is a businessman who pays attention to profits and never does a losing business.
But now it seems that they have to die a lot of people to capture this strong city.
Once too many family masters die, the loss will be greater than the gains in the city. Then this is a business that does not make money. How can he be willing to do such a losing business?
He was rational and saw at a glance that attacking the city would be a loss, but there was the golden toad he needed in the city, so he couldn't even think of leaving.
At this time, he didn't know that there was someone in the city who wanted to kill most of the people entering the island so that the treasures in the city could be recycled sustainably. If he could make a profit from this, it would be a miracle.
Overall, this siege operation was definitely a loss, but it was definitely a gain for the survivors.
Cai Shao glanced at him and said, "Isn't this something that has been expected?"
"But although the number of puppets is far greater than ours, puppets are dead, people are alive, and the combat effectiveness of puppets is far less than that of a Gu cultivator."
"Puppets come from the profession of puppeteers. Puppet masters can only be on the same level as a Gu cultivator if they control a bunch of puppets. A black iron puppet in the city is almost equivalent to an external Gu in the hands of a Gu cultivator, so there is no need to worry at all."
"The difficulty is the silver puppets and gold puppets in the city. That is what really gives us a headache."
"According to the intelligence description, both the silver puppets and the gold puppets have the strength of Gu cultivators in the Spiritual Sea Stage."
"It just so happens that the Gu cultivators who can enter Tiandao are all Gu cultivators in the Marrow Cleansing Stage. They are impossible to be opponents in a one-on-one duel. We can only use the human wave tactic to surround them."
"If we really want to surround and kill all those puppets, we will have to die a lot of people."
"It is impossible for us to take this city without fighting hard." Looking at the gold and silver puppets on the city wall, Cai Shao showed a solemn look.
