Shen Rui took the assigned alienated plant tissue, disbanded the joint force of high-level practitioners around the world, and successfully returned to his northern base.
Back on the ship, he hurriedly convened a meeting with senior officials without taking any time to rest.
"According to my estimation, although the opponent's ambush failed this time, since they have summoned so many high-level monsters, they will definitely not let this power go unused. They will definitely use it to attack the city and plunder the territory," Shen Rui said seriously He said, "We must seize the victory just now, use the team quota as bait, and attract high-level aberrations on a large scale. The target must be those 8th-level or higher aberrations that are underwater."
This is exactly the purpose of his hasty meeting. If he does not strike while the iron is hot and compete with the enemy for these neutral forces, the situation will deteriorate sharply. On the contrary, the situation can be completely changed.
Just like many hegemonic struggles in history, one of the important factors that determines victory is often the ability to win over enough neutral forces.
Teacher Wu nodded and said: "Yes, it can be seen from the battlefield that a considerable number of high-level monsters are still frightened by the fear shrouded in shadows. In order to survive in the future, they have taken refuge with them in advance. As long as the sun does not start for a day, If it becomes brighter, this fear will not disappear, and there will continue to be high-level aberrations that obey their orders."
"We have a battlefield space. As long as we can win over one-fifth of our opponents, we will be able to defeat them. This is our biggest advantage," Ouyang Ling said excitedly, "I will start working on this work right now."
Xia Daxue followed: "Then I will coordinate with the administration to find the location of level 8 and above anomalous monsters in Kyushu."
"But even though we can win over them, we can't feed these guys," Mr. Chen finally said. "Just the daily supply of that violent bear is equivalent to the needs of twenty seventh-level body refiners. This is because It often sleeps, otherwise, the consumption will be even greater."
"It doesn't matter, as long as they join the team during wartime, they don't need to be kept by my side all the time," Shen Rui explained, "Just like the gray giant bear I just recruited, I have already let it return to its own group and wait until wartime to gather it again it."
Mr. Chen nodded, this is the difference between the standing army and the peasant soldiers. The consumption between the two is completely different.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, I will give that strategically important alienated plant to you after the meeting. When I go back, I will think of ways to discover its value, and I will give it to you along with some of the cordyceps I collected before. "Shen Rui said.
"That requires a stable site. The test cannot be carried out on a ship," Mr. Chen suggested. "How about piloting it in Luzhou and Jihe first?"
"That's okay." Shen Rui agreed. After all, this was not exclusive to him and would soon be spread around the world.
The meeting ended in a hurry, and everyone was busy.
Shen Rui thought for a while and came to the cabin where Xiaoying was retreating.
There is a quasi-level 8 giant bird at home, so of course we cannot let it go and we must fully explore its value.
This is an independent cabin located in the middle of the ship. It is large in area, has thermal insulation and ventilation, and is luxuriously decorated.
Looking through the soundproof glass window at the top of the door, Xiaoying was lying on the soft large woven carpet with her head tilted and her eyes closed.
The food trough next to it was already half empty.
Shen Rui couldn't tell for a moment whether this guy was sleeping or practicing in seclusion.
He sensed carefully for a while and found that many particles were gathering into the opponent's body.
At this time, he remembered the red particles he encountered when tempering his kidneys, and the special particles that escaped from the body of the King Shark. The other party once mentioned that one way to practice is to fall asleep and let the particles temper and strengthen the body.
It seems that Xiaoying has also embarked on this path.
Seeing this, Shen Rui stopped worrying. After all, everyone has their own specific circumstances. The cultivation of birds and humans are very different. Apart from other things, there are too many differences in organs.
He thought for a while, then wrote a note at the entrance where food and water were delivered below. The content was naturally asking when it would successfully advance and be able to leave.
When going out to win over high-level aberrations, if you ride on a level 8 giant bird and are accompanied by a level 8 giant bear, it is equivalent to a 20% persuasion bonus.
…………
Shen Rui's guess was correct. Since the Pillar of Shadows has gathered such a large number of high-level alien beasts, it certainly won't be left alone.
After the ambush against Shen Rui failed, the cloaked man summoned more than a hundred high-level behemoths to launch an attack on the two nearby Australian coast castles.
But this easy action met with collective opposition from the giant beasts.
An eighth-level white wolf immediately shook his head and said: "Human beings are dying one by one. They are very precious. Forget about sporadic attacks. If we destroy the city on such a large scale, we will kill hundreds of thousands at a time. It is too wasteful."
"Yes, I also hope to capture more human slaves to build me a mountain villa. They reproduce so slowly that it takes 15 years to grow into one generation." Another black bear also refused.
This is the difference between the interests of both parties. For these high-level alien beasts, the living are much better than the dead.
And they don't eat ordinary people, who have no edible value to them.
On the contrary, it would be better to let these people work as slaves or even pay protection fees.
For the Pillar of Shadows, the more humans die, the better. As long as they are immortal and clean, it is in their greatest interest to lose their ability to interfere with the battlefield of the sun.
"Okay then, then break down these two castles and capture the humans back to you as slaves." The cloaked man took a step back.
"That won't work either. Our territory is far away from here and we can't carry it back. It doesn't make sense for us to break these two castles." A giant bird raised a new difficulty.
The cloaked man was silent, they finally understood.
After the failure of the ambush, these guys have decided to sit on the wall and no longer directly obey their orders. These reasons are just randomly pulled out to deal with them, and the purpose is not to completely anger humans.
If the previous ambush was successful and annihilated most of the high-level human cultivators in one fell swoop, then by this time, they would have been eager to launch a siege campaign and plunder humans as slaves.
Several cloaked figures looked at each other, feeling very troubled.
We cannot always use force to deal with these giant beasts. After all, no matter how powerful the shadow is, it is still a threat far away.
They are just relying on the dimming of the sun to intimidate them, and the shadow particles will not draw out the power to directly support them. To put it bluntly, they are pretending to be powerful. If the pressure is excessive and provokes these giant beasts to resist, it will be self-defeating.
In the final analysis, these giant beasts are not forces directly belonging to them, but temporary armies that have been bewitched.
Once their own side shows weakness, these makeshift armies will definitely be unwilling to contribute. Even if it is obvious that they can knock down the castle in front of them with just one push, they still will not do it.
At this moment, the white wolf suddenly said: "Since we have nothing to do, we should go back. I have been out for so long, and I have to beware of a few old rivals stealing my hometown."
"Yes, we have to go back too. If our territory is gone, who will feed us?" Some giant beasts followed suit.
"It's really short-sighted. We have repeated it many times before. You need to unite and defeat the enemy of mankind, and then you can develop your territory with peace of mind." A man in a cloak couldn't help scolding.
"Who do you think you are? You don't even have a face, how dare you come to scold us?" The giant beasts were furious at that moment, and they were about to explode one by one.
"Okay, since you want to leave, then go ahead, but don't regret today's choice when darkness covers the world in the future." The cloaked man threatened.
Some giant beasts thought for a while and scattered away, while some giant beasts thought for a while and stayed.
As for how they return home by sea, for level 8 behemoths, swimming thousands of miles by sea is not a problem at all.
