Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 254 The Heavenly Demon's Transformation, Infiltrating the Crimson Tide

Watching her unleash over twenty volleys of arrows in one breath, clearing away the crimson tide essence within a radius of over ten kilometers, Su Yu couldn't help but raise a thumbs up:
"Wife, you're amazing!"

Then they pulled out Ao Run, and the group sat on the back of a dragon that was nearly a thousand meters long, shaking their heads and tails as they plunged into the depths of the red tide.

A sudden burst of icy air swept across three to four kilometers, instantly turning all non-boss Crimson Tide Essence below level 100 into ice blocks that fell to the ground.

"Thunder!"

The true dragon raised its head and roared, and tens of thousands of bolts of lightning exploded from Ao Run as the center. The lightning touched the monsters and bounced like lightning chains, instantly turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​lightning, annihilating a whole group in an instant.

Seeing this, Su Yu also reached out and made a grabbing motion, then softly shouted:

"Thunder!"

Thirty thousand units of magical power burned, transforming into endless lightning that exploded around him, sweeping across several kilometers like a thunderous hedgehog.

The Time Battle Immortal Foundation, fused with the power of the Crimson Dragon incarnation, allows Su Yu to use all of the Crimson Dragon's supernatural powers and spells in his human form, including summoning wind and rain, unleashing thunderous power, overturning rivers and seas, and shifting stars and constellations.

It's definitely a watered-down version, far less powerful than the Red Dragon form, but it's perfectly capable of instantly killing small monsters.

Each of them possessed a massive area-of-effect (AOE) attack, making clearing mobs as easy as mowing down grass in a game of Musou. They could wipe out large groups of monsters in a second, sweeping through everything in their path.

This situation lasted for seven or eight days until a team reported in the channel that they had discovered the trail of a super BOSS with a level of over 200. Su Yu's spirits lifted, and he recalled Ao Run and the other girls into the Zhenhai Pearl. With a flicker, he transformed into a Heavenly Ghost, turned into a wisp of smoke, and disappeared into the void.

After advancing to the level of a Loose Immortal, the power and effectiveness of all the Heavenly Ghost Transformation techniques have been significantly enhanced.

Previously, when it transformed from reality to illusion, a wisp of smoke could still be faintly seen. Now, even the smoke is invisible, and it is completely transparent. Even if the Crimson Tide Spirit brushes past it while flying in the air, it will not notice it.

However, the best tool at this time is not to transform reality into illusion, but to change as desired.

This is a new ability that the Heavenly Demon incarnation gained after undergoing tribulation; it allows him to transform into monsters he has seen before.

They can only transform into the appearance of a monster, and their size cannot differ too much. They cannot possess the skills of transforming into a spirit, and can only use the abilities of a celestial demon, but their aura is the same as that of a transformed monster.

He transformed into a horned demon spirit, and all the Crimson Tide monsters around him changed from red to yellow. He quietly followed and blended into a small group of horned demons, while the surrounding spirits completely ignored him.

"Amazing!"

I previously thought that the Heavenly Demon Transformation wasn't very powerful and probably wouldn't be of much use, but now it seems that it's actually more useful.

If he has extra cultivation points and cultivation level in the future, he can continue to improve. He is quite curious about what powerful abilities this transformation can generate if it can be improved to level 200 or above.

"Perhaps after a few years of accumulating enough power of the Heavenly Dao Origin, we can upgrade the grade."

This Heavenly Ghost Transformation is currently only at the Exquisite level. If it were upgraded to the Sect Leader level or even the Supreme level to make up for its shortcomings in combat power, and with the double bonus from its talent, its attributes would probably be comparable to those of a BOSS.

Su Yu stretched out her finger and tried to poke the Crimson Tide Essence of a horned demon. The horned demon looked over expressionlessly, then looked away.

"Only instinct, no wisdom."

Su Yu stretched out her claw and stabbed it directly into the back of the horned demon. The Crimson Tide Spirit immediately retaliated angrily, but as the claw that had pierced into the body cleaved together a ball of Bing Fire Divine Thunder and exploded, the Crimson Tide Spirit was shattered into pieces and swallowed by the thunder and fire.

He looked up and around. The other horned demon spirits only glanced at him instinctively, showing no reaction to their fighting.

"Awesome."

Su Yu was overjoyed; this Ruyi was truly amazing.

After transforming into a spirit, Su Yu was even more at ease, flying aimlessly through the red tide without being attacked.

I saw quite a few bosses, but I didn't see any super bosses that were over level 200.

He made no discovery for a whole week until he traveled a long distance to a place more than 60,000 kilometers west of Four Symbols Island and found a huge horned demon red tide of spirits. He could see a horned demon super BOSS with a level of 231 at the edge of the distance.

This crimson tide of horned demon spirits stretches over a thousand kilometers from left to right and is nearly three thousand kilometers wide. The total number of spirits is probably in the hundreds of millions, all of whom are horned demons who died in battle in this sea area. It is estimated that it will be attracted by the hundreds of millions of horned demon players in the Four Symbols City and will surge towards this area.

There are many bosses inside, including several horned demons at level 200 or so. I haven't seen any level 300 or so immortal-level Red Tide bosses yet.

Without hesitation, Su Yu, disguised as a horned demon, blended in and slowly crept towards the center of the horned demon's essence.

The so-called Red Tide is a violent burst of energy born from the fusion of death energy and the essence of heaven and earth. During this period, all deaths are imprisoned in the Red Tide and never reincarnated. If a player dies in the Red Tide, the lost essence and lifespan will combine with the essence to form a spirit.

This sea area has been occupied by the Horned Demons for tens of thousands of years, with hundreds of millions of Horned Demons active there. The Red Tide breaks out every ten to twenty years, during which countless people die.

Each death accumulates in the Red Tide, and over time, the total number of horned demons' Red Tide essences in the Red Tide is probably in the tens of billions.

Su Yu squeezed left and right in the red tide, and unknowingly squeezed into the middle of the red tide.

"Level 222."

"Level 263."

"Level 240." After spending almost a day exploring the area, I discovered a total of four super bosses with levels over 200, all of which were transformed from horned demon masters who had died in the Red Tide.

The highest level is a level 287 legendary template Horned Demon Spirit. The entire Red Tide group is centered around this BOSS, which means that there cannot be any higher-level super spirits in this Red Tide group, let alone immortal spirits exceeding level 300.

After circling around, Su Yu did not leave the red tide group, but continued to mingle among it.

According to the map, the direction this red tide is heading is towards a horned demon city called Yanbo City not far away.

To be precise, it is the dojo of a major general in the Horned Demon Army. The map that Su Yu traded with Chu Tao has detailed information. The major general is level 248. He established a dojo here, took in disciples, and the disciples built a guild. A city was built around this dojo with a permanent population of more than three million.

However, at this time, the Red Tide broke out, and active Horned Demon players in the surrounding area would spontaneously approach nearby cities. These cities, with Earth Immortals in charge, were the preferred destinations, and it is estimated that tens of millions of Horned Demon players gathered there.

Four super bosses, each over level 200, are attacking the city. I can't say for sure if they can take it down, but they will definitely pose a great threat to the city.

When the battle reaches a stalemate, Su Yu could ignite a fire from below, which might give them a chance to break through the city.

This training ground is not comparable to a big city or an important base, but conquering it can still yield several great merits.

The plan was good, but the Red Tide moved too slowly. It took almost two days for the vanguard to approach Yanbo City. The densely packed Red Tide spirits surged towards Yanbo City like a tidal wave to launch an attack.

At this time, Yanbo City had already erected a protective array, and the thick barrier stood firm against the siege of billions of red tides.

The city was teeming with horned demon players. Every now and then, a master would rush out of the city's protective array, unleash flying swords or magical artifacts, or unleash a barrage of spells, and once their mana was exhausted, they would flee back into the city.

With the city's protective array in place, as long as you react quickly and run fast, you'll be fine.

But with so many people, mistakes are bound to happen. If you're not careful, you might get targeted by the BOSS and be eliminated before you can even run away.

Su Yu watched for several hours, and on his side alone, hundreds of horned demons died right before his eyes.

Su Yu did not participate in the battle. No matter how the BOSS in the Red Tide urged him, he just stayed in the back and wandered around as a bystander. Anyway, the BOSS would not care which of the hundreds of millions of Red Tide essences disobeyed.

What followed was a protracted war of attrition, with countless Crimson Tide Spirits surrounding the city and launching a continuous siege. In each round, millions of Crimson Tide Spirits could simultaneously attack the city's protective barrier.

Many super bosses were not idle. On the first day, they rushed up and dispersed in four directions, revealing earth immortal avatars ranging from two kilometers to nearly five kilometers in size. They unleashed their magic weapons and bombarded the city's protective formation.

Each strike from the several-kilometer-high Dharma Form caused the barrier to dent, generating ripples that spread outwards.

With the continuous bombardment from the four Dharma images and the siege of millions of spirits, the defensive power of the city's protective array fluctuated violently. Each round of siege caused a drop in defensive power of up to 20 to 30 million, and the output per minute was no less than 100 million.

However, the defensive power of this city-protecting formation is high enough, at least over one billion, and the formation's mana pool has sufficient reserves. In addition, there are many players in the city, and a large amount of mana is injected into the formation every moment, which can immediately raise the defense after each round of critical hits.

If this pace continues, once the mana pool of the great formation is depleted and the players' mana is almost exhausted, the great formation will eventually be broken.

But at this point, it would take at least a month, enough to sustain the red tide until it ends.

However, this is on the premise that the situation does not change and no new super bosses arrive. If two or three more super bosses of level 200 or above appear, then we won't be able to hold out for more than a few months.

The red tide has only just begun and will continue for nearly a month, with a high probability that another super boss will arrive.

So after waiting for a long time, these horned demons decisively sent out an elite team to prepare to surround and kill the super BOSS.

"coming."

Su Yu, who was staying in the rear, keenly noticed a group of horned demon experts gathering outside the city's protective array barrier. They were gathering right in front of the BOSS. In a short while, more than two hundred horned demon rogue immortals had gathered, including more than a dozen whose levels had exceeded one hundred and seventy or one hundred and eighty.

"This lineup is strong enough to kill them."

Su Yu pinched her chin, looking somewhat conflicted.

These spirits have limited intelligence, and most of them only have instincts. The BOSS has only a tiny bit of intelligence and has no idea of ​​cooperating or rescuing teammates. If you don't rescue them, you will definitely be killed one by one.

But if you want to save him, you must reveal your true form.

But once he reveals his true form, he will be attacked by the Red Tide and the Horned Demon.

The clam is stuck.

He racked his brains but couldn't think of any way to help.

After much deliberation, he finally gave up.

"forget it."

The prerequisite for breaching a city is ensuring your own safety; if you don't have the chance, you don't have the chance.

Su Yu put aside her thoughts and carefully squeezed to the back to avoid being caught in the aftermath of the battle.

Not long after they retreated, the Horned Demons were already prepared. More than two hundred rogue immortals rushed out, braving their defensive magic treasures. First, they unleashed a wave of wide-range spells to clear the surrounding red tide. Then, the group split into two: one part resisted the surrounding spirits, while the other part, with its powerful members, frantically attacked a super BOSS.
