Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 252 Racial War, Infiltrating the Horned Demon Territory
"At the seven o'clock position, 692 kilometers away, there is a battle. There are 162 humans and 489 horned demons on the human side. The two sides are evenly matched."

Su Yu and the three women, riding Ao Run, had just arrived when the opposing side saw the level 185 True Dragon and started shouting. They immediately dispatched over a hundred people to surround and attack it.

"A rain of arrows!"

Under the constraints of the Great Law of Water, the water elemental energy condensed into arrows, and in one breath, tens of thousands of water arrows were condensed and bombarded the sky.

"Bang bang bang!"

The explosions were deafening, and half of the hundreds of people were instantly killed.

Water arrows are not very powerful; they are just the most basic water-based spells. However, with the enhancement of the Water Law, their power is several tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of arrows shot at the same time, instantly wiping out a group of unsuspecting horned demons.

The key is that this is a basic spell with almost no cooldown. It can easily wipe out a large area, and in just three rounds, it wiped out hundreds of horned demons.

Then, with a turn, it split into four heads and eight arms. The four heads simultaneously cast spells, consuming more than 100,000 units of magic power, and in one breath, they condensed four waves of thousands of Gui Water Divine Thunders and scattered them in a net.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The divine lightning directly engulfed the horned demons, and the Guishui elites continued to regenerate, endlessly.

After the Gui Water elites dissipated, nearly five hundred horned demons were left with only a few quick-reacting rogue immortals, who turned and ran.

"If you want to run away, there's no way!"

Xia Xiaoyue, Cui Yunxian, and Yue Qingsi chased after them. Even Ao Run didn't stay idle and found a target to pursue. Su Yu didn't move. He grabbed the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and swept it horizontally. The axe energy broke through the air and disappeared into the void.

Twenty seconds later, a powerful axe-like energy suddenly appeared hundreds of kilometers away, slashing away a fleeing horned demon immortal along with his treasures.

A minute later, the three women returned; their target had already been killed.

"At one o'clock, there is a battle taking place 560 kilometers away. There are 11 humans and 120 horned demons. The humans have the advantage."

Su Yu quickly passed through that area and saw eleven rogue immortals chasing after more than three hundred horned demons.

"There is a battle taking place 415 kilometers away at the twelve o'clock position. There are 27 humans and 55 horned demons on the human side. They are evenly matched."

"this one."

Su Yu urged Ao Run to speed up and catch up.

With his cultivation level, dealing with these ordinary cultivators was a complete and utter crushing defeat. He was no match for either Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators.

To him, ordinary immortals and Qi cultivators were equally simple.

In a single day, having traveled thousands of miles back and forth, he had accumulated over three thousand merits.

The next day, they continued in a different sea area, crushing and pushing forward, maintaining a rate of accumulating anywhere from one or two thousand to four or five thousand merit points per day.

After grinding relentlessly for almost a week and accumulating nearly 20,000 merit points, I suddenly received a message from Cheng Shayu:

"You've accumulated enough knowledge and experience; you can now do some big things, like taking a trip into the heart of the Horned Demons."

Su Yu reacted quickly, immediately sensing the hidden meaning in his words, and asked:

"Is there some kind of unspoken rule?"

Cheng Shayu nodded and said:

"Yes, there are unspoken rules between the two sides: king against king, general against general, soldier against soldier. Your opponent is a fellow Loose Immortal expert, so continuing to slaughter Qi Refining level cultivators will not earn you any merit."

"Hmm, the maximum I can spend is 20,000, right?"

"You can only rack up 10,000 to 20,000 in revenue. You should go find some skilled players on the other side. If you continue playing like this, they will send skilled players to snipe you."

"I understand."

After shutting down the communication, Su Yu let out a soft breath.

This was to be expected, since without such restrictions, a group of experts would be unleashing their fury, and ordinary cultivators on both sides would suffer greatly.

"I've never been to the heart of the Horned Demons before, let's go take a look."

Su Yu reopened the Zhenhai Gate to let the women return, and then set off alone.

He opened the panel in mid-air, his gaze falling on the Mustard Seed Concealment Technique and the Invisibility Technique.

Upon advancing in Zhenhai Pearl's cultivation level, one can accumulate 300 million spiritual energy experience points and 3 cultivation points per day. Previously, during the three months of travel, a total of 270 billion spiritual energy experience points and 27000 cultivation points were accumulated.

Consuming 112 billion spiritual energy experience and 17000 cultivation points, I upgraded both the Mustard Seed Concealment Technique and the Invisibility Technique to the highest level, the fifth level.

After consuming so much, he still had 158 billion cultivation points and 62300 cultivation points remaining.

He closed the panel, activated the Mustard Seed Concealment Technique, and his figure disappeared as if he had entered another mustard seed space.

As he flew, he occasionally saw people passing by or passing through battlefields where people were fighting. Neither humans nor horned demons noticed his presence; his concealment was extremely effective.

The only drawback is that it cannot escape the light while in a concealed state; it can only fly by controlling its own energy.

Fortunately, his flight speed was not slow, and he entered the sea area where humans and horned demons met within a few hours.

But just as he was about to continue forward, he suddenly received a message from a stranger named Qi Zhongmou:
"Lieutenant Su Yu, I apologize for the intrusion in visiting you, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Su Yu looked at the contact name for a long time but couldn't remember it. She asked in surprise:
"Who are you?"

"Qi Zhongmou, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the All-Stars Guild, our guild president has invited many prodigies and top experts from the Peerless Ranking to form a super alliance with hundreds of large guilds in the Southeast and Southern Seas. We are preparing to do something big and would like to invite Lieutenant Su Yu to participate."

"What big event?" "A joint raid on the Horned Demons' outpost base on the southeast coast."

"This is indeed a big deal."

Su Yu became slightly interested and asked:

"How confident are you? Although I haven't been to the Horned Demons' outpost, I imagine it's no worse than Star Island, right? It must have tens of millions of Horned Demon players gathered there. If you can't break the city's protective array, you wouldn't be able to take it down even in a hundred years under normal circumstances. How do you plan to break the city's protective array?"

Qi Zhongmou replied with a smile:

"Lieutenant Su Yu, there's no need to worry about this. We definitely have a way to break through the formation by force."

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then finally shook her head and said:

"Since you have a way to forcefully break through the formation, then I wish you swift success!"

Being interested is one thing, but it doesn't mean he wants to go.

The main problem is that there's not much profit to be made. This kind of operation, which brings together many geniuses, top experts from the peerless rankings, and millions of people from hundreds of large guilds, will benefit them if successful. They won't get any benefit themselves. There's no need to go there for such a small amount of money. They'd rather spend that time exploring the heartland of the Horned Demons.

With his own strength and the great power of dragon transformation, he could certainly do something big.

Qi Zhongmou naturally wouldn't force him, and hung up the call with a smile. His smile vanished instantly, and a man beside him asked in surprise:

"Didn't he agree?"

He waved his hand and said calmly:

"It's alright. He's just someone at the bottom of the rankings. Even if he successfully transcends the tribulation, he's only at the Foundation Establishment level now. Losing him won't have any impact."

"Indeed, we need to expedite the invitation of those at the top of the popularity rankings; we'll be taking action soon."

"rest assured."

Meanwhile, Su Yu had already crossed the border between the two races and entered the sea area controlled by the Horned Demons. The number of Horned Demons he saw along the way was visibly increasing, and he frequently saw groups of Horned Demons rushing to the border sea area to join the battle.

After entering the Horned Demon Sea and flying more than 200,000 kilometers in one go, he encountered a large Horned Demon fleet.

More than twenty Tier 6 Poison Dragon warships and more than one hundred Tier 5 Angry Whale ships, with players accompanying them on board and in the air, blotting out the sky, the total number is probably no less than 500,000.

"The war of civilizations is terrifying!"

Even in a local conflict, the number of players on both sides is probably in the tens of millions, and countless people will die in the process.

Even though players can be resurrected, the number of casualties is still staggering.

Su Yu would not attack such a large fleet, but quietly stayed where he was and watched them leave before continuing north.

After flying for more than two days, a huge island appeared in the distance on the sea. The air was filled with horned demon players, and large warships were docked in the port on the island.

Hailong Island, the outpost of the Horned Demons in the southeastern sea.

"It would be awesome to destroy this island."

Su Yu opened the panel and checked the military bounty list, which included bounties for destroying the Horned Demon outpost, as well as other important bases and main cities. The bounty for destroying the Horned Demon outpost was 1 million merit points, 10 major merit points, and 100 heavenly merit point.

This is the total reward. Regardless of how many people complete the bounty, this is the same reward. If only one person completes it, they will receive the entire reward.

But even though the reward was good, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He was already stumped by just breaching the city; after breaching it, he also had to face the wrath of the earth immortal guarding the city.

For outposts like this, there are definitely Earth Immortals stationed inside the city. Once they are breached, there will definitely be Horned Demon Earth Immortals coming to support them. Dragon Transformation is not afraid of Earth Immortals, but it is still difficult to defeat them. Not to mention that Dragon Transformation will eventually come to an end, and at that time, they may not even be able to escape.

To breach the city, the only option is to gather a large number of skilled warriors and a massive force for a frontal assault.

Even a surprise attack by the All-Stars would require a large number of experts and a massive number of subordinates.

So Su Yu only watched the city from above for a while before quietly leaving and flying off in another direction.

If we can't take down such an important base, we can try other places.

He has a map of the entire Falling Star Islands. Besides the Horned Demons, he also has maps of the Fire Clan and the Six-Eared Clan. After all, they are all in the same area and are hostile to each other. They have long since sent experts to thoroughly investigate the opponent's territory. The Horned Demons must also have detailed maps of the human territory.

They traveled north silently, and soon crossed the southeastern sea area, entering the East China Sea of ​​the Falling Star Islands, which is the core territory of the Horned Demons in the Falling Star Islands.

The number of players here is still the same, but they no longer move around in a hurry with murderous intent like they do in the combat zone.

Of course, this doesn't mean there's no war here.

Su Yu knew that they could sneak in and launch a surprise attack. Besides him, there were many human experts who secretly came in to sabotage, and the horned demons also had experts who did the same.

Half a day later, Su Yu appeared near the Four Symbols City, the main city of the Horned Demons in the East China Sea.

This main city consists of four islands, each covering over a thousand square kilometers, known as the Four Symbols Islands. Each island is equipped with an independent defensive formation, and the four formations can be combined into a super formation.

As one of the main cities of the Horned Demons in the Falling Star Islands, this city is always guarded by a Horned Demon Celestial Immortal, and there are dozens of Earth Immortals as well, with hundreds of millions of active players.

If this city can be captured or destroyed, the reward will be 10 million merits, 100 great merits, and 10 heavenly merits.

But as I said before, it's impossible for one person to conquer this city.

As the main city, it must have the highest level teleportation array connecting other main cities. Once attacked, multiple celestial immortals and dozens of earth immortals will immediately come to support it. How can you fight back then?
