Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 260 The Six-Eared Man, Team Control, A Bold Idea
The BOSS dropped an eighth-tier essence, an eighth-tier magic weapon, and several high-quality materials.

Su Yu did not bid, but the auction sold for a total of 50,000 gold, and he received 10,000 gold for himself.

Besides that, he became famous in the team; everyone knew that he was the human expert who destroyed Smokewave City and was wanted by the Horned Demon.

On the way to Crimson Cloud City, everyone was curious and asked him how he planned to destroy Smoke Wave City.

Su Yu didn't keep everyone in suspense and recounted the general tactics in detail, eliciting gasps of surprise.

Of course, the vast ocean was concealed, and the process was slightly embellished, but the logic remains consistent.

The group quickly arrived at the waters near Yunxia Island, but before they even got close, they discovered that although there were many red tides near Yunxia Island, there were not as many as they had imagined, and it did not look like the island was besieged by red tides at all.

Su Yu asked with a surprised look:
"Wasn't there supposed to be a massive red tide, including an attack by seven super bosses? Where did it go?"

The others also looked puzzled. Chu Tao muttered to himself:
"Could it be that they've already cleaned it up?"

"Hmm, that's certainly possible."

"We received the message ten hours ago, which is indeed enough time to break the siege."

"What should I do?"

"Change the location, or lure the red tide from other places."

Yu Chengyun looked at everyone, especially Su Yu, and asked:

"What do you think?"

Su Yu pondered for a moment and said:

“Let’s lure them in from other places. This city has tens of millions of people, more than Yanbo City. It will definitely attract the Red Tide. There may already be a Red Tide coming here.”

"Su Yu makes a good point, what do you all think?"

"I think that makes sense. Let's split up and look for it."

Experience has shown that when you have enough strength, respect and status will come automatically.

When he first arrived, no one paid attention to him, but now every action requires his opinion. Even when the squad is conducting reconnaissance, he doesn't need to lift a finger. He just stays in place, drinking tea and occasionally grinding monsters, living a very leisurely life.

However, the respite didn't last long; less than an hour later, I received a message from one of the small teams, their voices sounding somewhat urgent:

"A group of six-eared people, more than two hundred in number, were spotted at the eleven o'clock position. They were all rogue immortals."

Yu Chengyun, who was drinking tea and discussing philosophy on the airship, immediately stood up and loudly proclaimed in the channel:

"Everyone, evacuate immediately."

Those who were leveling up nearby quickly returned and gathered near the airship. Those who were sent out to lure monsters wouldn't be back for a while. Su Yu glanced at the group and saw that there were already 68 people gathered.

Yu Chengyun said with a solemn expression:

"Generally speaking, the tribes do not fight each other in the Red Tide, but the Six-Eared Tribe has more than 200 people, which is three to four times our number. There is a good chance that they will fight. Everyone should be alert and prepare for battle."

Someone immediately asked:

What are the chances that they will take action?

Yu Chengyun said in a deep voice:
"It's big."

Su Yu frowned and said:
"We are outnumbered, so we will try our best to avoid taking action."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Ripples spread through the space behind him, and a figure silently appeared.

"Earth Immortal?"

"It's an Earth Immortal Spirit Puppet!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, with this spirit puppet, they most likely won't make a move."

Despite the warnings, caution was still necessary, and everyone gathered on the airship, ready for anything.

Five or six minutes later, a large airship broke through the surging crimson tide and blood cloud and stopped not far from them. The airship's deck was filled with Six-Eared Clan players, who looked them up and down with scrutinizing eyes.

"It's human!"

"There are very few people, only a quarter of ours. Should we surround them?"

"There is an earth immortal."

"That's a spirit puppet, not a big threat, but after all, a spirit puppet of an Earth Immortal is still somewhat dangerous."

Many Six-Eared Clan members looked at the two experts in the center, whose auras far surpassed those of their own clansmen—a handsome man and a beautiful woman—and asked in deep voices:
"Big brother/sister, should we go?"

The Six-Eared Clan looks very similar to humans, except that they have six ears of different sizes and their innate six senses are far superior to those of other races.

For example, human players have an innate six senses of at least 10 points, while the Six-Eared Clan has an innate six senses of at least 20 points, and there is a very high probability that they will awaken talents or even supernatural abilities related to the six senses and ears.

The two Six-Eared Clan experts glanced at the humans who were on high alert, and their eyes quickly fell on Yu Chengyun, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes.

"A human expert!"

"But there's only one, Wei."

When his peripheral vision fell on Su Yu next to Yu Chengyun, the man's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"There are masters too!"

"Only a second-grade Dao Foundation? He's hiding his cultivation level?"

The two Six-Eared Clan experts exchanged a glance and nodded in perfect unison:
"Walk?"

"go!"

The two waved, the speedboat turned a corner, and they passed each other several kilometers apart.

Yu Chengyun cupped his hands in a gesture of respect from afar, watched the Six-Eared Man leave, let out a soft breath, and turned back to look at Su Yu with a smile:
"Fortunately, Brother Su Yu was there, otherwise there would have been a great battle." Su Yu smiled. This didn't need explanation. With the intuition between strong people, Yu Chengyun could definitely see that the Six-Eared Man left suddenly because he wasn't confident, and the key factor was the two of them.

He didn't send anyone to follow the Six-Eared Man's flying boat to see where they were going. The humans here must be after Crimson Cloud City. Since the Six-Eared Man was unwilling to make a move, he naturally abandoned Crimson Cloud City as well, otherwise he would have made a move long ago.

The crisis was over, and everyone went back to their normal routines until, more than three hours later, one of the teams brought good news.

“A large group of red tides is approaching Crimson Cloud City. It is extremely large. Preliminary reconnaissance indicates that there are at least six or seven super BOSSes inside, and it cannot be ruled out that there are more hidden deep inside.”

"This is enough."

Everyone immediately perked up and began preparations.

Those who practiced concealment techniques used them to hide their aura, while those who didn't used concealment magic treasures or props. Su Yu discovered four individuals who had practiced the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Technique and transformed into Crimson Tide Essences.

Like him, the transformed Crimson Tide Essence can blend into the Crimson Tide without being attacked.

The remaining players, who lacked various concealment techniques, gathered together. A rogue immortal took out a handkerchief magic treasure, which spread out to cover hundreds of acres and enveloped everyone. The handkerchief slowly faded, and the people inside also faded until they disappeared.

"This magic weapon is quite good."

Then, before the group even got close to Crimson Cloud City, they received another piece of good news.

Another small team discovered a smaller Red Tide swarm approaching Crimson Cloud City, which appeared to contain two super bosses.

"Very good, it's more stable now."

The group followed behind the Crimson Tide and watched as it surrounded Crimson Cloud City. Then, eight super spirit bosses, each over level 200, emerged and began a fierce attack on Crimson Tide City.

Yu Chengyun said in a deep voice over the channel:
"Let's not make a move yet. We'll wait until the Horned Demon sends out some rogue immortals to kill the BOSS and then launch a sneak attack, trying to kill as many experts as possible."

At this moment, Su Yu privately transmitted her voice to Yu Chengyun and asked:

"What are your specific plans, and what results do you hope to achieve? Is it merely to destroy Crimson Cloud City?"

Yu Chengyun immediately replied:
"The main objective is indeed to destroy Crimson Cloud City. Brother Su Yu, do you have any better suggestions?"

"I have an idea."

"Please say."

"Simply destroying Crimson Cloud City yields limited benefits; merely looting the city would only bring in a few million gold."

Well.
Yu Chengyun was rather speechless.

It's only a few million gold coins. Do you want to see what you're talking about? You're really arrogant.

Even though he is ranked on the Peerless List, is a disciple of a sect, has a private immortal mansion, and is a shareholder of a dominant guild, the total amount of money he has accumulated since he began cultivating is only a little over two or three million gold.

Even if he, as the leader, only gets one-tenth of the millions of gold, that's still a huge income that he absolutely cannot ignore.

He asked with a calm expression:
"From what you're saying, you can gain even greater benefits?"

"Indeed."

Yu Chengyun immediately became interested and asked:

"Elaborate!"

"It's very simple. Have you ever thought about completely trapping this city and killing all the millions of Horned Demon players whose respawn points are fixed here?"

"That must be difficult to do, right?"

“It’s difficult for others, but with me, it’s not so difficult.”

He smiled slightly and said:

“I’ve done it before.”

Yu Chengdong's eyes immediately lit up:
"I had forgotten about Brother Su Yu's previous achievements."

"No problem, if you can do it, I'm willing to be your assistant."

"can!"

Su Yu took the lead without hesitation.

Yu Chengyun's voice came through a few channels:
"I have some good news to share. As you all know, Brother Su Yu destroyed Yanbo City all by himself. He not only gained a huge amount of wealth, but also completely annihilated hundreds of thousands of horned demons, and obtained hundreds of billions of cultivation points and hundreds of thousands of cultivation points."

“Before, Brother Su was alone and gained limited benefits. Now we have over a hundred people. Brother Su is confident that he can lead us to do something big. I, Yu Chengyun, am willing to step down and let Brother Su Yu take over as the leader. Does anyone have any objections?”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the preceding words, and when the speaker finished, they all said in unison:
"Of course, no problem. I support Brother Su Yu as the regimental commander."

"Commander Su Yu, just tell me what you want us to do, and I, Lao Hu, will definitely listen to you."

"Me too."

"Include me."

Everyone agreed without question.

Su Yu reached out and pressed down, and the sound quickly faded and disappeared. He smiled and said:

"Rest assured, everyone, the probability of success is very high, and the rewards after success will far exceed your imagination."

His gaze swept over the faces filled with surprise and anticipation as he began to assign tasks and discuss the distribution of spoils with them in advance.

He did indeed have a bold idea in his mind, which arose after the fall of Yanbo City.

Last time, I was all alone, and it was the first time I had encountered something like this, so I couldn't handle everything perfectly, which resulted in a huge amount of cultivation points and spiritual power being wasted.

The situation in Crimson Cloud City is very similar to that in Misty Waves City. Since we have so many powerful and capable people at our disposal, we can try out that bold idea from before and make another big profit.

No need for more; just doubling your cultivation points and Dao cultivation level will be enough to raise your Dao foundation by two more ranks.

After assigning tasks and tactics, the team waited outside. Su Yu and several rogue immortals who had mastered the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Technique transformed into spirits and sneaked ahead to the front line of Crimson Cloud City.
