Chapter 288 Siege Plan
With the speed of Long Xuan and Di Xin, it didn't take long to surpass the group of people who destroyed the elixir in front of them.
However, just as the two of them were walking past the group of people, a strong wind suddenly came from behind them.
Their expressions changed and they hurriedly moved aside. Two Gu insects flew past them and stopped in front of them.
"Hey! You have good soul perception, you can dodge this."
About a dozen 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 man in white clothes at the head said: "If you are behind us, it is you who are drinking soup. If we are behind you, it is us who are drinking soup. What do you think we are doing?"
"How can I let you go? And there are only two of you. Since we can bully the few with more people, we can't let you go." The man in white clothes at the head sneered.
"You also want to bully the minority when there are more people? 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 blankly.
He really didn't expect that he would be so popular on the island, and that there would be people who were not afraid of him and would dare to come and cause trouble for him.
"I don't care who you are, if you want to blame me, I can only blame you for walking in front of us! Die!"
As soon as the words fell, the group of men in white came to kill the two of them.
Hearing this, Long Xuan finally understood. This group of people really didn't know who they were. They probably came to the island later and didn't see the melee.
It is also possible that you have never been to the island at all. After all, not all boats going to Tiandao must stop on that island. If you arrive late, you can just wait by the trench.
If this is the case, then he doesn't have to worry. He is afraid that these people will know him. If these people dare to take action against him when they know him, it will be very difficult to deal with.
At this time, there were already many more boats on the island behind. Long Xuan was afraid that someone would come ahead of him, so he did not intend to hold back and decided to fight quickly.
As a member of the Ten Ultimate Body, he was already able to leapfrog and kill the peak marrow cleansing Gu cultivator in the late stage of marrow cleansing. Even Jun Zaitian, an invincible peak marrow cleansing Gu cultivator at the same level, could not be his match.
Now that he is at the peak of marrow cleansing, if he encounters the peak of marrow cleansing again, he will kill his peers like a dog. With all his strength, few people can survive his three moves.
What's more, there is Di Xin who is also not a fuel-saving lamp next to him. With the two of them joining forces, how can these more than ten people be opponents.
So in less than a minute, the five clones returned, and none of the white-clothed Gu cultivators survived.
However, Long Xuan looked at the blood on the ground and found no body. He frowned deeply.
Good guy, the bodies of people who died on the Sky Island will indeed disappear out of thin air.
The elixirs destroyed by these selfish people were not ordinary. He originally wanted to take them back, but he never expected that all the corpses disappeared out of thin air in an instant. He didn't even catch a hair, and he was so lonely after working for a long time. Such a waste of 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 at the forefront. We don't need to waste time collecting elixirs of low value. We only select rare varieties."
Long Xuan used the Eye of Heaven to scan the distance, quickly found the target, and immediately rushed in that direction...
…
The collection of elixirs lasted for about three days, and more than ten thousand people entered the island. Three days was enough to collect all the elixir resources on the island.
The number of people who originally came to Tiandao to hunt for treasures came from all over the world, and there were definitely 100,000 of them. However, some people were filtered out by the four huge waterfalls, and the number of people who could successfully land on the island was already less than 100,000.
And the Gu cultivators who had plundered all the elixirs on the island began to slowly gather towards the City of Divine Machines.
According to the previous regulations, Cai Shao and Jiu Gongzi were the leaders of the alliance and were responsible for ordering a quarter of the Gu cultivator army to attack the east gate of the City of Divine Machines.
At this time, about 20,000 people have gathered here, and a large number of Gu cultivators are still gathering here.
Looking at the majestic giant city in front of them, the people gathered outside the city were all shocked.
The huge city is black, and the city body is made of precious black iron. The hardness of black iron is second only to mithril.
The entire city wall is made of black iron. How much black iron will be consumed?
It is no exaggeration to say that if you don't need anything in the city, you can buy countless empires just by melting all the black iron on the city wall.
The city walls of the City of Divine Machines alone are so valuable, so how amazing will the treasures hidden inside be? Everyone smacked their tongues and showed burning eyes.
Long Xuan also looked at the giant black iron city in front of him in shock, and was once again shocked by the old guy's net worth.
There is no harm without comparison. He thought he was rich enough, but compared with that person in the city, he was simply poor. Even the girl next to him, Di Xin, was richer than him, not to mention the Qian Chamber of Commerce. The young master belongs to the young master.
"Can't you pick off the black iron on the city wall?" Long Xuan suddenly asked.
"What do you think?" Di Xin rolled his eyes at him and said, "If the black iron on the city wall could be removed, it would have been removed long ago. That guy in the center of the city will never allow anyone to do this."
Di Xin looked at the city wall and said, "Did you see the puppet standing on the city wall?"
"The whole body of the black puppet is made of black iron. It should be easy to solve with your strength."
"You have to be careful with the silver puppets and golden puppets."
"The entire body of the silver puppet is made of mithril, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of the early stage of Linghai."
"The puppets made by mithril spirits are equivalent to the strength of the middle stage of the spiritual sea."
"The golden puppet is made entirely of Geng gold, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of the late Linghai."
"As for the puppet general, whose entire body is made of Geng metal, there are almost a dozen of them in the city. I don't know how much of the terrifying existence in the center of the city is hidden."
"Gu cultivators in the marrow cleansing stage cannot defeat the puppets of these two colors. They can only use the human sea tactic to surround them. Only after a bunch of people are killed can the puppets be killed."
"And after the puppet dies, it will disappear out of thin air. You can't get even a cent of the mithril and Geng gold on it."
Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There were twelve puppets made entirely of Geng Gold Essence. How much Geng Gold Essence would be consumed.
He knew very well how difficult it was to obtain the Gengjin Essence. Even if he mined through cheating methods, he could only dig out the Gengjin Essence the size of a basketball. At most, he could make a puppet's head.
He is no longer calm. Is the gap between rich and poor so big?
Leng Yan's expression was very calm at this time, which was in sharp contrast to the shocked faces around him.
"It's normal. Did you know that in ancient times, materials were divided into twelve grades, and Gengjin is only a fourth-grade material, which is an absolute garbage material."
"In ancient times, junk materials were available in as much quantity as possible. Geng gold was not valuable at all at that time. It was a piece of trash on the street."
"And this ancient city comes from ancient times, so it's not surprising how much junk material is in it."
"However, the predecessors enjoyed blessings and future generations suffered. The predecessors completely squandered the Geng Gold. By our time, the Geng Gold has become a rare treasure."
"So you must not compare with the ancients. There is no comparison. We are poor because we were not born in a good era." Leng Yan sighed.
Long Xuan glanced at her, and Leng Yan said similar words more than once. She longed for the ancient times when Gu cultivating civilization was most glorious. The more this scholar studied the ancient books, the more he yearned for the era in the books.
When she said this, he almost wanted to invent a time-travel Gu and have the idea of traveling directly to the past. What a shabby place this was. The resources were so poor that even dogs wouldn't wait.
On the other side, Cai Shao and Jiu Gongzi looked at the city wall with serious faces. A large number of Gu cultivators gathered behind them. They only waited for the two men to give orders before they entered the city.
"Damn, the number of puppets on the city wall has actually increased again. On our east wall alone, there are already 50,000 puppets."
"The four city walls, that is, two hundred thousand puppets, and I don't know how many more puppets are there to guard each room in the city. How can we fight this?"
"I have never fought such a difficult battle. Twenty thousand people attack a city wall guarded by fifty thousand puppets. There are always more people on the attacking side than on the defending side. How can one attack a city with fewer people!"
The Ninth Young Master looked at the puppet on the city wall with an ugly face and couldn't help but cursed angrily.
He is a businessman who values profits and never engages in loss-making business.
But now it seems that they will have to die in large numbers to capture this fortified city.
Once too many family masters die, the losses will be greater than the gains in the city. Then this is an unprofitable business. How can he be willing to do such a loss-making business.
He was rational and could see at a glance that attacking this city would be a loss. However, 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 a certain being in the city who was determined to kill most of the people who entered the island so that the treasures in the city could achieve a sustainable cycle. If this could make him a profit, then that would be a ghost.
This siege operation will definitely be a loss as a whole, but it will definitely be a gain for the living people.
Cai Shao glanced at him and said, "Isn't this something that was expected?"
"But even though the number of puppets is far greater than ours, the puppets are dead and the people are alive. The combat effectiveness of the puppets is far inferior to that of a Gu cultivator."
"Puppets come from the profession of puppet master. A puppet master can only be on the same level as a Gu cultivator by controlling a bunch of puppets. A black iron puppet in the city is almost equivalent to an external Gu in the hand of a Gu cultivator, so it is not a concern at all."
"The difficulty is those silver puppets and golden puppets in the city. Those are the real headaches for us."
"According to the intelligence description, both the silver puppet and the golden puppet have the strength of the spiritual sea stage Gu cultivator."
"It just so happens that the Gu cultivators who can enter the Sky Island are all Marrow Cleansing Stage Gu cultivators. They are impossible to defeat in a one-on-one duel. We can only use the crowd tactics to surround them."
"If we really want to surround all those puppets, many, many more of us will die."
"It is impossible for us to take this city without breaking our bones." Looking at the gold and silver puppets on the city wall, Cai Shao showed a solemn expression.
