Zifeng is indeed feeling very uncomfortable. The originally mysterious nine Shen Chen people have made him miserable. Now after the merger of the two alliances, there is an old guy whose depth is hard to fathom. The alliance will be unstable next. factors are undoubtedly becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
But Shen Chen also bluntly said that the move of the leader of the Zifeng Alliance was, to a certain extent, restricting the nine of them. The two alliances merged and the overall strength of the alliance was greatly strengthened. The alliance is still led by the Sable Clan. If you are smarter, , you should know how to curb your evil intentions.
It can be said that this Zifeng is really good at playing chess. He was already a little anxious before, but he was able to adjust quickly and tried his best to promote the merger of the two alliances and strengthen his own momentum.
The new group of people who joined originally had more than a hundred strong men, and there were a total of four old fellows, including the original leader.
Now the overall combat strength of the group led by Zifeng is already very impressive, almost equal to those of the leading alliances.
But there is still a problem, that is, the elite and top combat power cannot compete with those of the leading alliances. This kind of strength based on the accumulation of numbers must be very effective against the predators on the island, but if there is a fight between outsiders The battles, especially the battles with the alliances at the front, are not so optimistic.
If it is a competition between outsider groups, in fact, most of the time, it still depends on the performance of the top combat forces, and those strong people from all walks of life who have gathered together will usually wait and see first unless the situation threatens their own interests. If the leaders of the alliance have the upper hand, then they don't mind adding icing on the cake, but on the contrary, they certainly won't provide help in times of need!
To put it bluntly, a small group of people who are leaders still need to have enough prestige, and this kind of prestige requires not experience and experience, let alone identity, but the strength to intimidate both the enemy and ourselves.
Zifeng is confident that he has such an ability, but he currently lacks a chance to prove it. Coupled with his background, the deterrent effect on powerful people from all walks of life is obviously far from the level of evil creatures. At most, it is comparable to supreme creatures, or even In the eyes of many strong people, they may not have reached this level yet.
Zifeng is aware of his own weakness, so if he now wants to improve the combat effectiveness of the people under his command, he can only do so by expanding the overall number of lineups.
As for elite-level figures, such as powerful half-step quasi-gods, or existences at the old guy level, most people will not choose to submit to him, and naturally it will be difficult to compete with those in the top alliances.
Even the dozen old guys who have joined now are not what Zifeng wants. These people are not taking orders from him, but are cooperating with him, just being a little more polite. In the process of cooperation, With him as the leader as the leader.
But this is obviously not the best situation. Zifeng knows very well that if he wants to completely control the more than 300 strong men in this alliance, the key is to make the strongest group of people completely obey his orders.
At that point, he can be much more forceful in issuing orders, completely controlling as a superior, but if anyone disobeys the arrangement, he can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
The problem now is that these dozen old guys, as well as those who are more powerful, do not really regard him as a leader. This is an inherent deficiency in their own power. After all, even if it obtains Zixia Tianzun His inheritance, but in the subconscious mind of many strong people, it is still difficult to compare with those evil creatures. He, Zifeng, has never done the shocking actions of those evil creatures.
This is the reason why Zifeng urgently needs to make a name for himself. As long as he can defeat an already famous monster, he can step on that monster and establish his authority in a battle. By then, the old guys in the alliance will be afraid and start to realize What kind of person is the leader they follow?
Afterwards, his style of dealing with things can be completely reversed. He no longer needs to discuss everything with those old guys, but makes decisions on his own. However, if anyone is dissatisfied, he can be severely suppressed.
Zifeng is now walking cautiously on this path of intrigue, but the appearance of the nine Shen Chens and the subsequent series of events have created many variables.
Even though the merger of the two alliances is currently restricting the nine people, Zifeng still feels that he is very passive.
He even wanted to take action himself, but then he thought about it, suppressing the nine Shen Chen people, it seemed that it didn't mean anything. Furthermore, he also needed a proper reason, and it was impossible to take action against Shen Chen and others without any reason.
While traveling, Shen Chen, Feng Yue and the others had vaguely sensed some hostility from the leader of the Zifeng Alliance. It seemed that this guy regarded them as a stumbling block to his advancement.
"That guy is too utilitarian, why do you need to compete with us? If we don't conflict with each other, we can live in harmony." Bu Feiyan curled his lips, realizing that they were now heading towards the point of breaking up with this person step by step. .
"Haha, he is not utilitarian, but takes a long-term view and is planning for the future." Shen Chen shook his head and smiled, "As the battle of the nine realms enters the middle and late stages, some far-sighted people will also start to plan for the future. Make plans, the road to enlightenment is so arduous, relying only on your own strength will inevitably be a drop in the bucket, but if you can control a huge monster, devote the efforts of countless people, and have huge resources, it will be easier!"
"You mean, he not only wants to lead these people temporarily, but also wants to directly control them in the future?" Meng Yuhan was surprised.
"Yes, but it won't be everyone. Most of the powerful ones are just tools for him to use temporarily. Only the more powerful ones will spend his energy to subdue them." Shen Chen nodded. This situation is still there. It's not clear, but as time goes by, those monsters and supreme beings will surely embark on such a path.
Since ancient times, those who have been able to attain enlightenment and reach the pinnacle of the divine way have rarely been solitary. Most of them have been those who rule a country and rule over billions of living beings.
Judging from some ancient books from ancient times, those gods are more concentrated in the inheritance of the gods and the inheritance of monsters. This is not unreasonable. No matter how strong a person is, it is obviously not enough to fight for thousands of creatures by working alone. The same person provides support after all.
The enlightened person and the monarch of heaven and earth have always been a community. The kind of power that can slowly walk towards the path of enlightenment on its own is not non-existent, but it is only an isolated example.
With Zifeng's shrewdness, he will definitely not choose that solitary and difficult path, but will tend to the general trend and achieve great achievements on the road to enlightenment, especially for him who does not have a divine background. From a personal perspective, this seems to be a need.~
This person understands this very well and is prepared for a rainy day. Before this major trend of the times appears, he has already started to plan step by step. Even Shen Chen admires him a little.
"The real prelude to the great catastrophe has begun. Many powerful people who were once conceited and arrogant will eventually succumb to the most brilliant heroes. This general trend has been performed countless times in ancient times, and it will be inevitable in this life." Feng Yue said calmly. Nodding, at this moment, there was a kind of scornful fluctuation in the phoenix eyes.
"Miss Feng, since this trend will eventually appear, why don't you follow Zifeng's example and recruit your own endless guardians from now on." Meng Yuhan chuckled with interest. At this time, the old meerkat had been Zifeng and the former alliance leader were called, so they naturally didn't have to worry about anything.
"Imitate him? Huh! What a joke. This goddess doesn't need too many followers. In the future, I will rule a heaven where I am completely exclusive. Hundreds of millions of people will bow and kneel under this goddess. Only then can I It’s a supreme honor.”
Feng Yue snorted proudly, then glanced at Shen Chen and said jokingly: "Only a very small number of people can step into the highest temple of this goddess. Little fat man, you must cherish the opportunity."
Shen Chen was speechless and rolled his eyes. This little girl's thinking was indeed extremely domineering. She didn't need a protector, she just wanted to be the servants of the people at her feet.
However, it is obvious that even though this girl is extremely talented and invincible, she did not go against the general trend, she just chose a posture that was more in line with her identity.
Zifeng and many evil creatures will try their best to establish a hegemonic level in the future, but this little girl has the lofty ambition to create the supreme kingdom of heaven.
Not long after, the old man came back again. As expected by Shen Chen and the others, Zifeng and the former alliance leader called the old man to invite him to join the leader's lineup, that is, the dozen old guys. In the team, you can gain considerable honors in the league.
But the old man is not a fuel-efficient lamp. No matter how much Zifeng and the others try to persuade and seduce him, he always looks shameless and perfunctory, refusing to admit that he has such abilities.
"Old man, you are so disrespectful, aren't you afraid that they will kill you later?" Mengchan Mo teased playfully.
"Why be afraid? Aren't you guys taking the lead, haha." The old meerkat smiled.
"Don't worry, we won't care if people come to trouble you." Bu Feiyan snorted, feeling that the old man's rejection of Zifeng and others seemed to be to attract hatred for them.
Now that the old man is walking with the nine of them, and now acting like crazy and acting stupid like that, Zifeng and others will definitely become more suspicious of them.
Along the way, the old man's appetite also made the girls very angry. Not only did the old man like to eat snakes, he was also very good at eating them. He had to eat seventy or eighty pounds of meat a day just to be full!
It's called Heiji. After turning into a human form, its skin is really dark and it looks skinny. It's really shocking that it can eat so much in one breath.
Shen Chen was not very polite to this wretched old drunkard. On the way forward, he joked: "His Excellency Heiji, you have eaten so much, shouldn't you put in more effort when hunting next time?"
"Contribution?" The old man with a black machine came over carrying a Gu carving leg and took a few bites, "Those flying monsters, old man, I am powerless!"
Although he agreed with the old man to join the group, before he got familiar with it, Fengyue's power-involving method was obviously not able to bring him in, so when killing the monsters in the air, the old man couldn't help much. Can be responsible for cooking the ingredients afterwards.
"It's not about dealing with monsters in the sky, but monsters underground." Shen Chen smiled softly. Judging from the terrain described by Xiao Menglong, he was about to enter the middle of the canyon.
In the following areas, the terrain in the canyon will become more and more complex, filled with many forks, caves, and underground rivers. Many places are the exits for predators that live underground to get to the surface.
After arriving in that area, not only monsters in the sky, but also many predators living underground will appear. This is both good luck and the beginning of misfortune for the strong men from all sides.
