This place is fun

Chapter 128 Improving Combat Power
The battle quickly became one-sided.

Because in the first wave of attacks launched by Su Daoshan, more than half of the people of the Huangzhulin tribe were killed, and Gao Jiao, Zi Yu, Lang Yan and several independent cultivators were forced by him to join the battle, the number of both sides suddenly reversed.

At this moment, Niu Er and others counterattacked like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

As their companions disappeared one after another, the warriors of the Huangzhulin tribe collapsed faster and faster.

Two minutes later, the rock tiger followed the footsteps of the Ghost-faced Iron Bull and disappeared in the exploding dust. At the same time, the war spirits of the two Huangzhulin warriors on the periphery also fell one after another under the siege of Niu Er and the other five people.

In the center of the battle group, only Huang Zhu Jushi and Bao Hu were left.

At this point, both of them were already livid. They didn't care about being sent out of the spiritual realm. This was just a place outside the domain, and they were only at the second level of Tiandao Mountain. Entering the spiritual realm again would only cost an extra 20 spiritual essences.

This amount of resources might be too much for ordinary cultivators, but for them, it is easily affordable.

But in front of everyone, twenty people gathered together and came in a mighty and powerful manner, but they were completely wiped out and beaten out of the spiritual realm. The nature of the situation was completely different.

This was not only a slap in the face to the Huangzhulin tribe, but also represented the dire situation of the other four tribes in Xianlai Town uniting together. More importantly, this was the doorstep of the Gurong tribe!

This is the most realistic problem.

You have to know that where a warrior leaves, he will appear in the spiritual world again. Because of this, in wars between such organized forces, a tactic often used is to guard the corpse!
This is also the reason why people rarely attack other tribes. Especially when the other side has a big monster, it is definitely a risk to attack the other side directly.

It would be fine if he could kill all the opponent's guards and force the big demon to reach an agreement, but it would be painful if his entire army was wiped out in the other party's tribe.

If the opponent is cruel enough, he can protect you till the end of time and kill you over and over again.

The final result is that you either pay a huge ransom to let them go, or you can only hope that they will be careless for a moment and let you run away. Otherwise, you can only hope that someone will come to rescue you.

And at this moment, the Huangzhulin tribe is facing such a situation.

Twenty people were all killed at the doorstep. Even though the Gurong tribe no longer had a big monster in charge, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.

The four forces have actually united. Just send people to guard here in turns, and kill whoever comes up.

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult for warriors in the spiritual world to communicate with each other in the real world. There are ways to do it, but it is difficult to achieve large-scale unified coordination.

Therefore, forget about expecting to break out together.

More importantly, with so many people trapped here, they also have to consider the situation of the Huangzhulin tribe!

Now, there are only fourteen members left in Huangzhulin. Most of these people are not in the spiritual realm and have no unified organization. If the other four tribes unite to attack Huangzhulin...

"How could this happen?" The more Huang Zhu thought about it, the more his heart sank, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

Indeed, he had long wanted to annex the Gurong tribe. Not only had he secretly joined forces with Baohu, but he had also prepared manpower. But in fact, today's large-scale attack was not part of his original plan.

Originally, according to Huang Zhu's plan, he could consume Niu Er and others a few more times. When their spiritual essence was almost consumed and a new big demon landlord appeared in the Gurong tribe, it would be time for him to launch a large-scale attack on the Gurong tribe and decide the outcome in one fell swoop.

By then, as long as an agreement is signed with the new big demon general, Niu Er and a few other stragglers who have exhausted all the resources will not be qualified to snatch it back, let alone even smell it!
At the same time, a large-scale attack will completely establish the Huangzhulin tribe's unique dominant position in the Xianlai Town area!
However, what Huang Zhu never dreamed of was that he just killed a newcomer, but he was killed out of the spiritual realm by this newcomer. And when he decided to go all out and lead his men to attack the Gurong tribe, it was this newcomer who showed up and made him fail.

If the first time, Huang Zhu thought that the other party didn't even have a fighting spirit and only killed him by sneak attack, then this time, when his spiritual sense swept over the black tree, he didn't know what to feel in his heart.

"Just now, this kid only had the Dao Seed Armor!"

"How could he have gotten a war spirit in such a short time? And a war spirit with such terrifying strength!"

Looking at the big black tree in front of him, Mr. Huang Zhu's eyes turned red with jealousy - he had heard the rumors about the big monster Wu Che in the ancient banyan tribe, and had vaguely guessed the origin of this war spirit.

But precisely because of this, it was even more difficult for him to accept!

To Huang Zhu, neither the appearance of this newcomer nor the war spirit in front of him originally existed in his world. They were just accidental factors, like a bird passing by in the sky.

But this accidental factor that shouldn't exist ruined everything.

Mr. Huang Zhu’s heart is bleeding!

"Stop!" Knowing that he could not escape, Mr. Huang Zhu simply recalled his war spirit and allowed Niu Er and others to surround him.

Seeing this, Baohu on the side was also ready to call the thief bird back. However, at this moment, a net on the black tree just covered the thief bird. Immediately, a flame suddenly rose from the net. The orange light became brighter and brighter, and in the end it was like a star exploding, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes!

The next second, the figures of the thief bird and the violent tiger had completely disappeared.

"Tsk, if you want to stop it, you should have done it sooner," Su Daoshan scolded with an unhappy look on his face, "Look, aren't you harming people?"

After Huang Zhu called a halt, he turned to Niu Er, Gao Jiao, Zi Yu and others, ready to speak. But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Bao Hu was killed, and the newcomer actually put the blame on him, which made him a little confused.

"You..." Mr. Huang Zhu was about to say something with gritted teeth, but his face suddenly changed.

Because he found that the big black tree not far away had whipped him hard without saying a word.

Mr. Huang Zhu's soul was scared and he couldn't hide. It was too late for him to release the war spirit and he could only watch the whip shadow falling from the sky.

Bang! The people around only heard a thunderous explosion in the sky. In a flash of lightning, the sharp whip shadow had already hit Huang Zhu's body fiercely, directly whipping his body to explode and disappear in an instant.

Everyone was shocked and their faces turned pale with horror.

I've seen ferocious people, but I've never seen anyone as ferocious as this... No one dreamed that the leader of the Huangzhulin tribe would take the initiative to call a halt, but before he could even say a word, he was whipped to death by this newcomer.

Although the body in the spirit world is just an illusion of the spirit world's will, and after death, it also turns into a phantom and disappears. But at the moment of the explosion, the frozen astonishment on Huang Zhu's face, accompanied by the flying blood and flesh, is still very visually impactful.

Creepy!

"Idiot! Stop just because you said so! You still want to play tricks on me at this time?" Su Daoshan cursed, turned his head and glanced at Gao Jiao and others, and finally said to Niu Er, "Brother Niu, you two can talk. I'm going back to the village to talk to Mr. Qi about something. Later, we'll go to the yellow bamboo forest!"

After saying that, Su Daoshan turned around and walked into the valley.

Killing in the Yellow Bamboo Forest? Gao Jiao and the others looked at each other, not believing their ears. Zi Yu frowned, subconsciously took a step forward, and was about to call Su Daoshan, but was pulled back by Lang Yan.

"What?" Zi Yu said unhappily, "This guy dragged us into this by force, and you let him go without even a word of explanation?"

"Let's listen to what Niu Er and the others say." Lang Yan took a deep look at Su Daoshan's back, then turned his gaze to Niu Er and asked, "Who is he?"

"His alias is Kan If We Can't Reach an Agreement, He's just joined our Gurong tribe," Niu Er said with a smile and bowed to everyone, "Originally, we called him Brother Kan. But now it seems, we have to call him Brother Kan." Niu Er called him "Brother Kan" willingly and sincerely.

When he saw Su Daoshan subdue the mutated Wuche as a war spirit, he already understood the value of Su Daoshan. All he thought about was how to hold on to this future thigh. But until just now, when he saw Su Daoshan suddenly attack in the crowd, he realized that he still underestimated the other party.

Turn your hand and clouds will appear, turn your hand again and rain will fall!

As soon as he made a move, he not only defeated more than half of the people in the Huangzhulin tribe, but also involved the Wutong River, Luer Mountain and Yecao Valley tribes. In the end, he used his newly transformed war spirit to fight against three people alone. He turned the disaster of the Gurong tribe into the failure of the Huangzhulin tribe!

If Niu Er was not a clear-headed person, perhaps deep down he would still think that this was his good luck, and would regard this kid who had just joined the tribe two hours ago as a powerful younger brother he had picked up. He would think that he could spend some time to win him over, and with the help of this kid's strength, consolidate his position and gain greater benefits.

But Niu Er doesn’t know how to do that.

He can see things more clearly than anyone else, and he can turn the corner more than anyone else. If he still doesn't change his name to "Kan Ge", Niu Er feels that he has lived his life in vain!

However, Niu Er's words, when heard by Gao Jiao and others, set off a huge wave - as the leader of the Gurong tribe, Niu Er was also a well-known figure in the Xianlai Town area. He actually called this newcomer "Brother Kan"? !

And everyone noticed that when Niu Er said this, Ma San, Zhu Wu, Yu Liu and others standing by did not show any intention of objecting.

In silence, Gao Jiao recalled how Su Daoshan had whipped Huang Zhu Jushi without saying a word just now, and also recalled what he said before leaving: "Let's kill our way to the Huang Zhu forest." His eyelids jumped suddenly.

He took a deep breath and smiled at Niu Er: "Then... let's talk?"

******
When Su Daoshan walked into the village, he found Mr. Qi sitting in an open space in the village.

This open space was where the big banyan tree named Wuche used to be. It was the central square of the village. After Wuche disappeared, a large burnt pit remained on the mud ground nearby.

"Mr. Tan!" Mr. Qi stood up from a distance and bowed.

Su Daoshan walked closer and saw that there was a coffee table in front of Mr. Qi. On the coffee table was a complete set of tea sets. Water was boiling on a small stove next to it. The water was already boiling and steam was bubbling up.

Su Daoshan sat down opposite Mr. Qi: "Mr. Qi is in a good mood."

"Qi Mingxuan is waiting here specially for Mr. Tan." Mr. Qi sat down with a smile and began to make tea. "I'm using tea instead of wine to congratulate Mr. Tan on his acquisition of the war spirit."

Tsk, this attitude is even more enthusiastic than before. Su Daoshan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Warming the kettle, washing the cups, washing the tea... Mr. Qi was obviously an expert at this, his movements were elegant and smooth, giving people a pleasing sense of rhythm. Su Daoshan crossed his legs and asked, "Old Qi, the one thousand spiritual essences you promised before..."

Mr. Qi waved his hand, and a villager came over with a basket and respectfully placed it in front of Su Daoshan. Su Daoshan took a look. There were twenty Lingyun Fruits, each containing fifty Lingyun.

His eyes lit up, and just as he was about to reach out, he heard Mr. Qi say, "Wait a minute, Mr. Tan."

Slow down. Su Daoshan swiped his hand and directly put all 20 Lingyun Fruits on the Dao Seed and hung them there. Then he looked up at Mr. Qi and said, "Why, you can't bear to part with them?"

"Mr. Tan misunderstood," Mr. Qi's cheeks twitched slightly, and he smiled, "I just have an unreasonable request..."

"Since it's an unreasonable request, then don't ask." Su Daoshan waved his hand and leaned over, "When will the tea be ready?"

Mr. Qi's breathing stagnated, and the water in the teapot in his hand poured out of the cup. Then he smiled bitterly and simply put the teapot down. He looked directly at Su Daoshan and said, "If this is an unreasonable request, I am willing to give you some more benefits?"

"Oh? Tell me about it." Su Daoshan became interested.

"Mr. Tan, I think you are in urgent need of spiritual essence to enhance the combat power of your Dao seeds, right?" Mr. Qi bowed.

Su Daoshan nodded. There was nothing to hide. Since the spiritual world was ruled by the law of the jungle, the game was to run rampant and the winner took all. He didn't know how Niu Er talked with the people from the other three tribes, but he knew that since they had started fighting, they would kill the Huangzhulin tribe.

No one else can be relied on. The only person you can rely on is yourself.

"I wonder if Mr. Tan can improve his Dao Seed right here," Mr. Qi said, "so that I can have the honor of seeing it?"

Su Daoshan was stunned when he heard this. A warrior's improvement of his Dao Seed was just nourishment with his spiritual essence. It didn't involve any secrets. Anyway, other people couldn't see it, and at most they could sense the changes in the aura with their spiritual sense. He didn't expect that the other party would be so serious and actually make such a request.

"Then what's in it for me?" Su Daoshan asked.

"I can offer you another 200 spiritual essences for this." Mr. Qi said.

Two hundred spiritual essences can enter the spiritual realm ten times. If used to increase the Dao Seed's combat power, it can also increase it by one meter. What is there to hesitate about?

"Deal!" Su Daoshan did not hesitate to enter the Dao Seed space with his spiritual consciousness, picked a few Lingyun fruits, turned them into spiritual essence, and integrated them into the Dao Seed.

The next second, Su Daoshan heard a bell ringing from Tiandao Mountain, and his soul seemed to be washed by a warm current, making him feel like he was floating in the air, as if he had reached paradise. The Tao Seed, which was originally 12 meters high, also began to grow.

The trunk of the Tao tree thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the branches began to climb and extend upward, and the crown of the tree became larger and larger.

While Su Daoshan's mind was concentrating on the Dao Seed, Mr. Qi also sat up straight involuntarily, put his left index and middle fingers together to make a sword finger, pressed them on his brows, closed his eyes, and suddenly looked up in the direction of Su Daoshan's Dao Seed space.

As if he had sensed something, his expression changed, revealing a mixture of surprise and joy.

In the Dao Seed space, with the nourishment of spiritual essence, the branches and leaves of the Dao Seed continued to grow. In just ten or twenty seconds, it had risen to thirteen meters.

"Huh, so fast?" Seeing that the Tao seed stopped growing, Su Daoshan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although it was the first time for Su Daoshan to cultivate Dao Seeds to improve his combat power, he was not unfamiliar with it. Whether it was Ao Jiu's explanation or the records in "Yi Men Jiang Hu Lu", they all told him that the speed of Dao Seeds' improvement was graded according to levels.

Starting from the newbies who have never climbed Tiandao Mountain, to the first, second, third, etc., the warriors at each level will increase their Dao Seeds fastest at the beginning, and the more they go, the harder it will be, and the slower the speed will be. Basically, after the fifth time of upgrading to the same level, the growth rate of Dao Seeds will slow to an outrageous level.

This is why most warriors use their spiritual senses to perceive the opponent's Tiandao Mountain level to estimate the opponent's combat power.

Those with a fast speed of improvement could only reach about five meters per level. Those with a slow speed of improvement could only reach three meters per level. Only by constantly climbing up the Tiandao Mountain and reaching higher levels could they improve their Dao Seed combat power.

Among all these improvements, the fastest one is the first improvement after the Tao Seed is fixed.

But Su Daoshan still didn't expect it to be so fast. According to his understanding, the first time Ao Jiu upgraded his Dao Seed, it took him ten days from watering the spiritual essence to the end of one meter of growth. After that, it became slower and slower. The fourth time he upgraded, he needed a year!
"Isn't this a mistake?"

Su Daoshan was so surprised that he simply transformed another two hundred spiritual essences and integrated them into the Tao seed.

This time, the growth rate of the Dao Seed was significantly slower. It took a full minute to complete the growth.

Fourteen meters of combat power!
Come again!
