The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

The following morning, in the open space of the Xishi tribe.

Campus Spring Scenery squatted to the side, watching Dog Bro and the others trying their best to do burpees, occasionally shouting "Go for it!" in a cheeky way.

At times like these, he would be met with angry glares from a group of old comrades.

There's no way around it; no matter how many times you're resurrected, you have to go through this process of nurturing your blood and energy.

Whether it's absorbing the blood essence of other races or refining blood essence pills, one must cultivate their own blood essence to do so.

Fortunately, this wasn't Dog's first time doing this kind of training. Even if he wasn't exactly a proficient practitioner, he could still keep the time spent within half an hour.

Soon, Dog stopped exercising and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes, his blood surging.

After all, he had previously reached level 27, so he didn't need to spend any extra time adapting to the surge in power within his body. He could master it in just a few breaths.

Seeing this, the campus spring scenery clapped loudly: "As expected of a peak level two expert, terrifyingly powerful."

Upon hearing this, Dog Brother's face darkened, and he pointed at the spring scenery on campus and began to curse.

Of course, he would at most say something like "you just wait," but he wouldn't be stupid enough to make a move on the campus romance.

After refining and absorbing the blood essence of the beast tribe's centurion, Campus Spring Scenery has now reached level 51.

If they really got into a fight, Dog Bro was afraid he'd exhaust himself and still not be able to break a single skin off this guy.

Fortunately, although you need to start leveling up from scratch after being resurrected, you don't need to acquire things like military strategies and crafting methods again.

From the players' perspective, it can be seen as a sign of the development team's mercy.

Once the old buddies had all started to feel the heat of the moment, Dog Brother glanced at the spring scenery on campus and said irritably, "Aren't you going to take us guys to level up?"

"Watch your attitude. Do you know who you're talking to?"

The spring scenery on campus is arrogant and overbearing.

Watching the two greasy middle-aged men bickering, a young man who often followed Brother Gou couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In fact, among Doggo's men, besides his old buddies, there were a few employees who played games at his request, but their presence was mostly weak.

The hot-tempered Dog Brother immediately glared at the young man: "Little Li, what are you laughing at? Did you do what I forgot to tell you yesterday?"

Xiao Li: "..." Haha, tell me how to get into this crappy class?

……

Abandoned stone village.

One of the watchtowers, almost completely swallowed by a sea of ​​green, is so sheltered by vegetation that very little sunlight can penetrate inside.

The Hou tribe's chieftain sat in the main seat, silently listening to his subordinates' reports.

In fact, the Hou tribe only learned the details of the Battle of Gaoshi now.

It cannot be said that they were slow to respond.

The main reason is that during this period, in order to avoid being targeted by the human military, this Hou tribe warrior has been in a state of dormancy, and most of the time they are passively collecting intelligence from all sides.

The upper half of the Hou tribe's chieftain's face was hidden in shadow, making it impossible to guess his emotions.

The Yunhou centurion, standing at the head of the right-hand side, remained silent for a long time before feigning emotion: "That beast tribe's battle division is gone."

Seeing that the centurion didn't react much, another Hou tribe centurion chimed in, "These peasants from the Hou tribe are bound to be wiped out sooner or later."

"It's still somewhat useful; at least it helped us find a way out." Centurion Yunhou finished speaking and sneered.

"Indeed, although the barbarian tribe is dead, they have also crippled Gao Shi, making it easier for us to swallow him whole."

Including soldiers and able-bodied men, the number of people killed in the battle of the Gaoshi tribe exceeded five hundred.

Don't assume this number is small.

In war, the ratio of death to serious injury is mostly 1:1, while the number of minor injuries fluctuates within three times the number of those killed in action.

In other words, the actual number of deaths and injuries caused by the Wu tribe to the Gaoshi tribe exceeded two thousand, accounting for a full 20% of the total population.

It may not sound like much, but you can understand it with a simple analogy.

World War I resulted in the death of 4% of France's total population, which directly led to France surrendering to any enemy it encountered afterward.

They might think the French have a poor fighting spirit, but often they overlook one thing in their calculations.

That is, the deceased were almost all men, and young and middle-aged men at that.

If you exclude women, children, and the elderly, and then look at this number, you'll realize just how devastating the blow was.

For the Gaoshi tribe, such a devastating loss means that their population structure will not be able to improve for at least ten years.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.

Faced with such an easy target, the Hou tribe warriors found it hard to resist taking advantage of the situation.

The Hou tribe's commander suddenly stood up and walked slowly, as if measuring the land with his feet.

His eerie green eyes gleamed with a chilling light: "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Upon hearing this, the Hou tribe centurions lined up below couldn't help but stir slightly.

They all wanted to be the first to act, because only in this way could they get the biggest share of the benefits.

Just as these Hou tribe centurions were about to speak, the Hou tribe chiliarch suddenly changed the subject: "I'm not talking about the Gaoshi tribe. Human tribes that have weakened to this extent can be taken easily, why bother?"

He glanced at the centurions present: "Let's wait for the right opportunity. I have received news from the tribe that the general will take action soon. That will be the best time for us to make our mark."

The centurion of Yunhou was overjoyed.

"Chief, what do you mean?"

……

[Martial Arts Body Forging Technique: A Heavenly-level military technique that uses the body as a weapon. At its peak, it grants the power to shake mountains and rivers. It contains three combat techniques.] (Price: 100 Spirit Essence) (Inventory: Unlimited)

(Note: Only the right to use is sold. You must reach level 72 to be eligible to purchase.)

Jiang Chen finished editing the message and added it to the game store.

In fact, he didn't mind giving the players the military strategy he possessed. The reason he didn't give the players the strategy from the beginning was mainly because he considered that the strategy was too slow to master.

Incidentally, the biggest difference between different military strategies lies in the different routes of blood and qi circulation.

Higher-level military techniques will not affect the speed of refining blood energy; they will only result in a more significant increase in combat power at the same level.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of a military strategy manual, the more complex its blood and qi circulation path becomes.

For players who have never been exposed to the cultivation methods of this world, the Tiger Fiend Technique is actually the easiest military technique to learn. With a little effort, most players can quickly become proficient in its use.

If players were given a copy of "The Martial Arts Body Forging Manual" all at once, there might still be players who can't master it.

Jiang Chen estimated that once the players reached level 72, it would be about time to switch to the "Martial Arts Body Forging Technique".

Now, let's put it in the game store in advance so that players can have a sneak peek and hopefully increase their enthusiasm for leveling up.

Although the players are like donkeys in a production team, when there's nothing else to do, you should still put a few carrots hanging in front of them.
