Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 109 Island of Ten Thousand Poisons, Gu Abyss
If the Ten Thousand Poisons Society hadn't been involved, their combined strength would have been enough to break the balance and help the Divine Wind Gang defeat the Crimson Flame Gang.

But the Ten Thousand Poisons Society is no match; their strength is on a completely different level.

To help the Divine Wind Gang reclaim that resource point, the Canglan Pavilion would have to send a main force, but that's clearly impossible.

Six people came to offer assistance, and a main force group came to challenge the "Dragon Crossing the River" to seize territory. This would provoke a backlash from other guilds on Wan Du Island.

Zhang Chao smiled wryly:
"It looks like we won't be able to earn that thousand taels of gold."

Lin Qingfeng also smiled wryly and cupped his hands in greeting:
"I'm sorry to have troubled you all to make this trip for nothing. I'll give each of you 10 gold coins for the travel expenses later."

Zhang Chao quickly waved his hand and said:
“That won’t do. We haven’t done anything, so how can we take the money?”

At this moment, Su Yu suddenly asked:
"So, what exactly is that resource point you're fighting over?"

Everyone looked at Lin Qingfeng, and he said:
"It is a small-scale Gu abyss."

What is Gu Yuan?

"It is a natural super Gu pit where the earth's veins converge at the nest of poisonous Gu worms, which can produce BOSS-level Gu."

Su Yu asked in great surprise:
"Why not grab this good stuff?"

Lin Qingfeng smiled wryly:

"We can't compete with them."

"Well"

He stroked his chin and asked in a low voice:
"If you can't take it, and you can't let the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang get it, how about destroying it?"

Lin Qingfeng shook his head and said:

"The Gu Abyss is born naturally; to destroy it, the terrain needs to be altered. Do you have a way to change the terrain on a large scale?"

"Uh, it seems not."

Transforming into a true dragon is possible, but there's no need to reveal that you can do it. It's best to keep this trump card a secret and only use it as a last resort when the potential reward is high enough.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a crisp voice rang out:
"I can do that."

Everyone looked at Luo Qingchan, but she didn't offer any explanation and reverted to her aloof goddess demeanor.

It's not that she's particularly aloof, but rather that she acts this way on purpose.

After all, she's so beautiful that too many guys try to chat her up. Pretending to be aloof can reduce a lot of trouble.

Su Yu said to them:
"Since Qingchan can do it, then let's go and destroy that Gu Abyss. We'll all go our separate ways and no one will get it."

Lin Qingfeng gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Fine, we can't get it anyway, so we can't let the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang get it for free."

“If you all help me destroy the Gu Abyss, each of you will be rewarded with 50 gold coins.”

Su Yu looked at the group of people who had come with her and asked:

"Are you going or not?"

Zhang Chao smiled and said:

"Since we're already here, of course we'll go."

"Then let's get ready and set off."

Then Su Yu learned about the situation in Gu Yuan and its surroundings from Lin Qingfeng, including the strength of the Chi Lian Gang and the general situation of the Wan Du Gang. Lin Qingfeng also provided a detailed map of Wan Du Island.

An hour later, the well-prepared group of six set off.

Before leaving, he took out the Mirage Dragon Pearl and activated it, changing his current form into a young man who bore no resemblance to himself.

When they turned around, they found that everyone's appearance had changed. Even Luo Qingchan had changed her appearance with a special magic weapon, turning into an ordinary-looking girl, but her slender figure and cascading black hair were still exceptionally eye-catching.

The group took to the air and flew away from the Shenfeng Gang's base, disappearing into the wild jungle.

The air was filled with a layer of poisonous fog and miasma thousands of meters thick, and the jungle was teeming with poisonous insects and venomous creatures. As they flew at low altitude, they would often see swarms of flying venomous creatures rushing towards them.

At this moment, Su Yu would take out a Hundred Gu Banner, and with a wave of his hand, golden-winged centipedes would fly out to meet it. He would then urge his twin swords to follow behind the golden-winged centipedes.

With a swift double strike, he precisely sent the flying Gu worms crashing down.

Li Qin leaned closer and asked curiously:
"You can even refine Gu? This Golden-Winged Flying Centipede must be a rare Gu worm, right?"

Su Yu chuckled and said:

"When I first entered the other shore, I studied Gu worms, but I gave it up after discovering my talent for swordsmanship. However, the Gu worms I had refined were not lost."

There were only 46 Golden-Winged Flying Centipedes in total. They hadn't been used for a long time and their levels were only around 40. However, the level of ordinary Gu worms was not high, and the flying Gu worms were only around 20. The only problem was that there were many of them. They were no match for the Golden-Winged Flying Centipedes, which were a level higher. As soon as the two sides made contact, they fell like rain.

The others had never practiced Gu cultivation, so they could only level up by activating magical artifacts.

They fought monsters along the way, and when they arrived at Black Wind Ridge, where Gu Abyss was located, all the Golden-Winged Flying Centipedes had leveled up.

The group had barely crossed Black Wind Ridge when they were stopped. A fire spirit boat flew out from behind the mountain and blocked their way. A squad leader in the middle shouted:
"This is the territory of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."

Zhang Chao shouted:

"Who would dare to impersonate the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang? Don't they even know that the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang is in the south of the island, and this is the north of the island?"

"This is it."

Zhang Chao continued loudly:

“What kind of trash dares to impersonate the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang? Beat them up!”

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed, and a ball of lightning and fire flew out and exploded, instantly blasting the airship off course.

Enraged, the man quickly summoned a Hundred Poisons Asura Banner and brandished it, spewing out seven-colored poisonous flames.

"Charge!" Everyone unleashed their magical weapons and charged forward. Su Yu also activated his Thunderous Might, instantly shattering the Fire Spirit Boat's shield. The magical weapons exploded with lightning and fire, catching the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang members off guard and killing many. Only three escaped, pointing at them and cursing:

"How dare you attack our Ten Thousand Poisons Gang! You're all dead!"

Two barely perceptible, tiny sword energies swept around from behind, and a head flew off.

Condensing sword energy into threads allows you to refine and thin the sword energy. The higher your skill level, the thinner and less noticeable the sword energy becomes. Players who are not strong enough may not even notice the thin and fast sword light.

They quickly dispatched them, collected the spoils, and continued on their way.

After crossing more than a dozen mountain peaks, the group saw a basin in the mountains ahead. Through the swirling poisonous fog, they could see a sinkhole in the center of the basin, from which thick, colorful poisonous miasma spewed out.

There are many man-made structures on the edge of the sinkhole, and there is also a construction site nearby where many craftsmen are hammering and building various structures.

At the edge of the sinkhole, a large number of players gathered, and many craftsmen were also building things.

Su Yu had built a Gu pit before, and he recognized these structures as part of the Gu pit at a glance, except that this Gu pit was much larger than the one he had built before.

It is obvious that the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang plans to utilize this Gu Abyss to build a super-large Gu pit, specifically for refining poisons and Gu worms.

It's likely that the patrol team we killed earlier told us before they died that the Wan Du Gang members were currently assembling.

Su Yu glanced at everyone and asked:

"Should we just take action or what?"

Zhang Chao said in a deep voice:

"Let's just take action and eliminate the guards first."

"Then let's go."

Su Yu activated his twin swords, his magical power surging as the swords merged, transforming into a streak of light imperceptible to the naked eye as they hurtled towards the Gu Abyss.

The others used their own methods, each wielding a seventh-tier magic weapon, to bombard the direction of Gu Yuan.

A sudden storm destroyed the construction site in an instant, and many Wan Du Gang players died in the bombing.

The Wan Du Gang players who had gathered at the edge of Gu Abyss immediately went into a frenzy. Hundreds of them unleashed their magical weapons and took to the air, as various poisonous mists, Gu worms, and flying swords bombarded them.

Zhang Chao took out a gauze scarf and threw it away. It quickly transformed into a light barrier several meters long, blocking the numerous attacks. He then shouted in a deep voice:

"I need to finish this quickly; I can't hold out for long."

Without hesitation, Su Yu reached out and pressed down, and a sword aura condensed and dispersed into the battlefield. In just over ten seconds, he consumed 20000 mana to condense a thousand sword auras and dispersed them across the battlefield.

Once all the sword nets were in place, he reached out and made a grasping motion, then softly called out:
"A thousand layers of sword net, rise!"

Hidden sword energy emerged, with thousands of sword energies crisscrossing back and forth. The magical treasures of the Wan Du Hui players within it shattered, their magical treasures were knocked away, their flying swords broke, and numerous poisonous creatures and insects fell to the ground.

The Thousandfold Sword Net lasted only a few seconds, and nearly half of the hundreds of Wan Du Hui players died.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chao laughed loudly:
"What a trick!"

Li Qin's beautiful eyes fell on him, sparkling with admiration.

Luo Qingchan glanced at him without any expression, but she increased the speed of her flying sword slightly. Two streaks of light, invisible to the naked eye, quickly darted through the crowd. The poisonous insect magic weapons activated by the Wan Du Gang players fell one after another, and a piece of the flying sword broke off.

It appears simple and unadorned, but the power it displays is even more exaggerated than that of Su Yu.

Su Yu would have to make several back-and-forth movements to kill or knock away an enemy, but she didn't need to go through all that trouble. She could kill anyone she touched instantly, and her killing power was several times stronger than his.

Her two flying swords were clearly not the same two she had used in the previous duel. Su Yu didn't know their grade, but every time her gaze fell on those two flying swords, she could feel their sharpness cutting through her gaze.

"It's definitely a high-level flying sword, at least seventh rank."

Each of the six possessed high-level magical artifacts, making them far more powerful than the Wan Du Gang players. After a few rounds, the Wan Du Gang players could no longer hold out and began to flee.

Two minutes later, the entire Wan Du Gang was wiped out.

Su Yu looked down from above the Gu Abyss and asked in confusion:
"The Ten Thousand Poisons Gang's level is a bit low; didn't they send any experts to guard the area?"

Zhang Chao smiled and said:

There must be experts, but they just happen to be away from home.

Another companion named Yao Chenfeng nodded and said:
"The Ten Thousand Poisons Gang is one of the three major guilds on Ten Thousand Poisons Island. It is very powerful. The nearby Crimson Flame Gang and Divine Wind Gang are both small gangs. They wouldn't dare to stop them. We can just send some people to guard them. The experts have probably gone outside to level up."

Su Yu nodded and said to them:

"Time waits for no one, let's take action now."

He looked at Luo Qingchan and asked:

"Are you going down alone, or is someone going down with you?"

"I don't need to go down."

She reached out and took out a shuttle in her hand, saying:

"It will take me some time to activate this treasure and disrupt the earth's veins. Please protect me."

"it is good!"

Luo Qingchan soared into the air, flying tens of thousands of meters into the sky in one breath. She threw out the red shuttle in her hand, and with a slight opening of her cherry lips, she sprayed a breath of essence onto the shuttle. The runes on its surface lit up, and immediately a heart-palpitating wave spread out.

The shuttle rapidly expanded, soon transforming into a red mountain range thousands of feet tall, covered with countless runes. As the divine shuttle slowly rotated, the runes on its surface lit up continuously, and its aura became increasingly terrifying.

"Advanced war weapon?"

No further explanation is needed. Just by looking at the size of this magical artifact and the aura it exudes, everyone believes that the attack it unleashes after being fully activated will definitely change the earth's veins.

The only question is how far the impact will ultimately extend.
