To Qu Jianlei and others, the war that is about to take place in the small world is ridiculously weak.
The whole world is full of resources, but there are only twenty or thirty foundations and a population of about one hundred thousand.
Any Nascent Soul in the team can defeat the whole world.
However, they really couldn't interfere and could only watch indifferently.
It's not a feeling of superiority, it's mainly because it doesn't matter if the descendants of the immortal cultivators fight and kill each other, they have crossed the line by interfering.
It is said that mobilization between wars takes a certain amount of time.
But this is a world where immortal cultivators exist. It is very convenient to mobilize combat power, and it is not difficult to transport war materials.
After Qu Jianlei and others discovered the signs, small-scale fighting broke out between the villages on the third day.
As for the severity of the tragedy... I can only say it was extremely tragic.
The battle is quite structured, including luring the enemy, outflanking, dividing, encircling and annihilating, and the tactics are very rich.
It is worth mentioning that those who lured the enemy were mainly women and young and old, dressed as young adults.
The old, weak, women and children were actually dispatched to fight. Based on this alone, one can imagine that the two sides were almost fighting to the death.
This is indeed the case. The vast majority of people on both sides of the war were injured and refused to retreat until they gave up their last breath.
The battle was also extremely brutal, and it could be known from the shouts that the two sides were feuding!
Qu Jianlei was speechless after hearing this. How could such a big place accumulate such overwhelming hatred?
Thinking about the boundless behemoth of the Empire outside the Maiden Star Territory, it was hard not to feel some emotion in him.
Isn’t this what “the little devil in the temple is big in the wind, but the bastard in Chi Qian is big”?
At the same time, they also observed that most of the fighting parties did not continue to kill the wounded on the other side.
Only those who were slightly injured had to keep fighting, while only those who were seriously injured lay on the ground and lingered.
From this point of view, although the local indigenous people are brave and fierce, their methods of dealing with the enemy are not very cruel.
However, at the same time, those seriously wounded prisoners will not receive any care.
Both sides have medicine to treat their own wounded, but the opponent's wounded can only be left to fend for themselves.
Even the medicines carried by the injured prisoners will be confiscated by the other side. One of the main themes is "life and death."
However, even with such treatment, the paranoid believes that the fighting in this world is still relatively restrained.
The seriously injured prisoners were not killed, nor were they divided and eaten. The level of civilization was already quite high.
Because the productivity of this world is just that, and practitioners with spiritual energy are actually very "replenishing".
As you can see, both sides of the battle will drag the dead back.
They will carefully place their own dead, and if they are the bodies of the other camp, they will pile them there hastily.
By listening to the other party's conversation, you can learn that the corpses of these prisoners will be used in exchange for your own dead.
If there is no object that can be exchanged, these corpses will become fertilizer for cultivating spiritual plants.
More than one local native said: spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, and useful things cannot be wasted.
As for those seriously wounded soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, most of them were used in exchange for prisoners, so the prisoners were not killed.
However, even if there is no exchange indicator, these people will basically not be executed, but will be treated as free labor.
To put it simply, the level of civilization here is indeed acceptable, and those cruel measures are mainly due to the influence of the environment.
However, this is only the situation in the early stages of the battle.
As time went by, more and more people were involved in the war, and the number of participants reached more than 40,000.
Almost all the people in the two camps have joined forces, and the other three small towns have also been involved to varying degrees.
But generally speaking, these three towns are just taking advantage of the situation.
On the sixth day of the battle, foundation-building cultivators began to die.
The foundation-building cultivators here are all called ancestors, and the ancestors who did not die on the spot usually choose to commit suicide!
The sense of honor of being a top combat force makes them unable to accept living alone.
It was obviously a battle involving tens of thousands of people, but they were forced to fight in such a tragic manner that "all of them were destroyed".
By the eleventh day of the war, the death toll had exceeded 10,000, with even more injured.
Jing Yuexin couldn't help but say, "How much hatred do these immortal cultivators have?"
For her who has experienced fighting with alien races, she really doesn't understand this kind of fighting situation.
How could the hatred between two descendants of immortal cultivators be so great?
However, as the battle became more and more fierce, more and more fish slipped through the net.
The paranoid man couldn't help but suggest, "Boss, now find two seriously injured guys and search for their souls... Is that okay?"
Needless to say, Qu Jianlei was really moved.
You yourselves don’t know how to cherish this great life, so why can’t you give us an advantage?
At first, he was a little hesitant about this suggestion.
However, as the fighting becomes more and more intense, many wounded will return to the battlefield after simple treatment.
Seeing this, Qu Jianlei finally convinced himself - if you don't care about it yourself, then you can't blame others for taking advantage of it!
Next, they quietly sneaked into the vicinity of the battlefield, selected four seriously injured people, and quietly abducted them.
Ordinarily practitioners in the foundation building stage would know better, but everyone still chose practitioners in the Qi refining stage.
The cause and effect of the foundation building period may not be small. The key is that every foundation building period is a decisive presence in both camps.
That's really "if you want to see a person alive, you will see a corpse if you die." Even if you are angry, you still have to give an explanation.
Qu Jianlei and the others didn't want to attract any attention, so the Qi refining period was just right.
However, in order to get more information, they deliberately chose those who seemed to have extraordinary status.
However, this choice led to some small troubles - the more noble the person, the more fearless he was.
Qu Jianlei and others were originally thinking about pretending to be passers-by, treating the other party a little, and then seeking information.
After all, there is no hatred or resentment, so why start searching for souls as soon as you get started?
Unfortunately, the local indigenous people are not generally tough.
Among these four people, two had only one breath left and could not last much longer.
But even so, they were still highly vigilant towards the rescuers, and when they were in better health, they even launched a sneak attack.
No matter how much Qu Jianlei and the others explained, the other party ignored them.
One of them even said, "Unless you help us win the battle, you definitely have ulterior motives!"
Strictly speaking, this request is not outrageous - you have to prove to yourself that you are not hostile to us!
However, how could Qu Jianlei and the others agree?
This is obviously Da Neng's layout. If they have a little understanding of the situation, the problem will not be big or serious in nature.
But if you have to enter the powerful layout and choose a camp rashly, what is the difference between that and seeking death?
Since you all want to die, don't blame us... Qu Jianlei had to give up his plan to do work.
The results of the soul search show that these natives are really the descendants of immortal cultivators!
In their memories, their ancestors had the power to control the wind and rain, fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
It's just that for some unspeakable reasons, they were left in this small world.
Yes, these people also know that they are in a small world, and they don't know when they will be able to go to the big world.
At the same time, they also understand that the current spiritual energy in the small world is increasingly depleted and is gradually heading towards the "End of Dharma Era"!
When they first entered the small world, there were only more than 3,000 people in total.
These people are divided into more than fifty small families, and there are hundreds of lonely ghosts.
Thousands of years have passed, and these small families have gradually multiplied, developed and grown, and have also experienced various integrations and mergers during this period.
Under such circumstances, it is rare that the population can still grow to the current level of about 100,000 people.
However, as the population expanded, interest disputes became increasingly serious, and wars broke out.
Although using "war" to describe such a population size is a bit unflattering.
But when you think about the fighting between the villages, it’s not too strange that the “Warring States Period” is used to describe it.
Here, there is another big background. As the spiritual energy dwindles day by day, wars become more and more frequent.
In the impressions of these cultivators, it is not that there have never been amazingly talented and beautiful people in the small world.
Some of them were young and vigorous, or had only limited time, and they had tried to break through the barrier and find a new world.
But it is a pity that all failed without exception.
Outside the small world, there is the fierce "Nine Heavenly Gang Wind", which if your cultivation level is slightly inferior, you simply cannot withstand it.
Among them, some people returned safely to the small world after exploring outside, which shows how harsh the external environment is.
Therefore, people in the small world increasingly realize that they were abandoned by their ancestors in this world.
Since outward exploration is blocked, it is a normal reaction to turn your attention back to the inside.
Of course, not everyone is only keen on competing for internal resources.
For thousands of years, more than one force has claimed that after unifying the small world, it will gather all its strength to explore outside.
There is of course no problem with this reason. Only by gathering all the strength of the human race can we better explore the outside world.
The question is: Who should take the lead in this matter?
Anyway, the current level of attack on the small world has seriously restricted their development of the peripheral parts of the small world.
According to the memories of these people, when the population of the small world was at its highest, there were 130,000 to 40,000 people.
Now there are only about 100,000 people, which is enough to illustrate the impact of long years of war on human society.
After searching the souls of the four people, everyone was a little speechless: Is this a place abandoned by immortal cultivators?
However, Taoist Jiao didn't see it that way. He thought, "It's obviously impossible for a powerful person to set up a large formation just to protect them!"
"If you want to protect them, it's better to pack them up and take them back to the world of immortality."
"There are only a few thousand people, and they can't even fit into the cave. Why go to all the trouble to set up a large array?"
The one who set up this great formation was at least an out-of-body-level powerful person, so it shouldn't be so boring, right?
