Chapter 775: The Light Stops the Sound of War

The night in the Land of Blending should have been the most advantageous time for the old imperial army, but under the glow of the fallen objects, this greatest advantage no longer exists.

Under the overnight attack of the Jibei Road Defense Department's army, the old imperial army, whose morale had already collapsed, surrendered in large numbers. Currently, the Dashun army is advancing along the main road and continues to hunt down the remaining enemies.

The airship carrying Yao Zhiyi, Chen Chuan and others had now returned to Fortress Area No. 4 and stopped at the berth, but several people did not get off the airship.

It was dinner time, and the airship had a special kitchen, who brought up two meals and placed them in front of the two men.

Chen Chuan took a look and found that the meal looked very simple, just a bowl of rice, a plate of meat slices, and a bowl of scallop soup.

The rice grains were large and full, piled high in front of the head, and drizzled with an extremely fragrant jade-white soup, which made people's appetites grow. Each piece of meat was the size of an adult's palm, crystal clear, and as thin as a cicada's wing, and at this moment, it was layered on top.

The fresh scallop soup is rich in color and looks as smooth as silk. The tender scallop meat is completely immersed in it, and it is dotted with a few pieces of unknown green bay leaves, which is very tempting.

However, this was not just any simple food. He could feel that it had an extremely tempting fragrance, and it made the alienated tissues in his body stir, as if they were instinctively craving these things.

Yao Zhiyi said, "These are all special high-energy nutritious ingredients from Jiaorong Real Estate. They specially prepared a few extra portions for us for this mission. There is a time limit for this stuff, so why don't you help me eat them together."

Chen Chuan nodded and waited for him to move first before picking up the chopsticks, picking up a piece of meat and tasting it. He found that it melted in his mouth. Instantly a warm current flowed through his body. At the same time, the alienated tissue seemed to be filled a little, and from it came an urgent need for more.

Yao Zhiyi explained: "At our limit, the destructive power is great, but the consumption is also correspondingly high, which requires a large amount of nutrition and energy to supplement.

Our spirit can guide certain external forces to be absorbed to keep our body in adequate condition, but if the spiritual strength is insufficient, then these alone can only maintain daily activities and cannot meet the consumption of long-term high-intensity combat.

Therefore, it is necessary to eat high-energy foods. Without them, once we encounter a battle, it is our own vitality that will be consumed.

Therefore, under the premise that the cost is greater than the gain, fighters generally will not be so proactive in fighting, and will try to avoid unnecessary attacks to reduce such losses.

In addition, if you want to practice, you will also need to consume a lot of body energy, so you need to take in more high-energy nutritious ingredients.”

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Chuan and said, "You didn't feel hungry after the battle before. That's because you just stepped into this limit. Your spirit has reached a certain height while fully ascending, and you have absorbed enough energy from another world to replenish yourself. This energy will continue to transform your body.

However, as your spiritual power reaches its peak, it will gradually decline, and the energy absorbed will gradually decrease until it reaches a stable state and stops.

The energy you gained should have been used entirely for yourself, but now part of it has been consumed in battle, so if you don't replenish some of it now, it may affect the height you could have reached."

After hearing what he said, Chen Chuan tried to examine himself, but he did not find the phenomenon of mental decline as Principal Yao mentioned. His spirits were always at a high level and continuously provided himself with a certain amount of energy. There would be some ups and downs occasionally, but that was almost negligible.

This may be because he broke through in an unprecedented state, transcending the theoretical limits, so this is the case.

After Yao Zhiyi said a few words, he quickly ate up the plate of meat, exhaled, and then said: "The food I eat is usually provided by the Central City and the Blending Land. The larger the control range of the Blending Land, the richer the food that can be provided.

Take me, an old man, for example. I have a fixed quota every month, which is basically enough for my daily practice. If I need to fight, I will make additional supplements before or after the battle depending on the specific situation.

So generally speaking, every fighter needs to have a complete supply system behind him, so that his combat effectiveness can always be kept at its peak."

Chen Chuan nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Principal, is this the case for all fighters?"

"Not really."

Yao Zhiyi said: "Some fighters who don't like to be restricted will choose to hunt themselves.

Most of the medicines and food ingredients we use come from the Fusion Land, and some things that are particularly beneficial to us can only be obtained from some specific creatures in the Fusion Land, which is not something that those people in logistics can do.

Both have their pros and cons. Relying on logistics supply, although the source of ingredients is fixed and there are no big surprises, the supply is relatively stable. If you go looking for it yourself, it requires the fighter to have enough strength and a certain amount of luck.

If you are unlucky, sometimes what you gain may not be enough to make up for your own consumption. Usually, the creatures of the fusion land with extremely high special value are often very fierce. If you are in a dangerous environment, you may lose your life there if you are not careful. In fact, some beings on the opposite side also regard us as food, because our alienated organizations and spirits are also delicious to them. If we say it cruelly, we are feeding on each other. "

At this point, he picked up the plate of rice and poured it into his mouth, finishing it in two or three mouthfuls before continuing, “In addition to replenishing food, there is another way to reduce and replenish consumption, which is to use our spiritual power to absorb energy from the opposite side and then feed it back to ourselves, just like what you did when you broke through your limit.

It is difficult for you to do it here, and you need to go deep into the fusion land. Simply put, the closer to the World Ring, the more convenient it is to replenish.

Therefore, many fighters are not willing to stay in places like the central city where consumption is high. Not only will they suffer heavy losses after fighting here, but it is also difficult to replenish their energy. Even the energy required for training needs to be carefully calculated. Over time, it will affect the improvement of their own level. "

After hearing this, Chen Chuan understood a little. He had never heard of any fighter taking action in the central city or outside before. In addition to national constraints and excessive destructive power, the biggest limitation was probably that they did not want to consume too much of their own energy.

But it seems that the fighters who participated in this battle have made certain sacrifices.

Yao Zhiyi said: "You have made great efforts in this battle, and you have paid a lot. I will write this down in the report and fight for the benefits you deserve."

Chen Chuan sincerely thanked him and said, "Thank you, Principal Yao."

"No need to thank me, you deserve a reward for your meritorious service."

Yao Zhiyi then picked up the bowl of soup again, tilted his head back and drank it, then said, "The nutrients in these foods will gradually dissipate, so you'd better finish them as soon as possible."

Chen Chuan nodded, said nothing more, and began to concentrate on eating.

At this time, he thought about it. His own spirit was now elevated high enough, which did not mean that he did not need other ways to supplement. Not to mention the consumption of the current battle, the practice that Principal Yao mentioned also required some high-energy nutrients, and of course the more the better.

But he has a second self. When the second self starts to get close to my true self again, I don’t have to worry too much about the consumption of physical energy in normal battles.

As for going to a place closer to the World Ring, he could consider this after some time. After all, he had the Snow Lord Sword that could cut open the cracks and go to the other side to practice or hunt.

After finishing the meal and clearing the tableware, Yao Zhiyi asked his adjutant to make some tea and looked outside. "It looks like the war will be over by tomorrow morning, but there's no guarantee that the old imperial family won't react, so we'll try to move forward tomorrow to make sure nothing goes wrong. Manager Chen, you're not included in the plan this time, and I know you have other things to do in the central city, so go back tomorrow, we'll be enough here."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Principal, if you need anything, you can call me anytime."

Yao Zhiyi said affirmatively: "Old man, I will definitely not be polite."

At this time, Chen Chuan looked at the ray of light in the sky. Even without talking about its specific function, this relic is simply a strategic weapon against the old imperial family. It directly reduces the old imperial family's biggest advantage. No wonder the old imperial family attaches so much importance to this thing.

He asked, "Principal, will this light stay there forever?"

"We have tested it in special environments. The longest time it can last is about half a year without interruption. Then it will enter a half-year rest period. The longer it emits light, the longer it stops. So when daybreak comes, we can collect the light of this thing and release it again if necessary."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "So this is the first lost item?"

Yao Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's not this. When the World Ring was breached, we expected this thing to appear, so we had been searching for it for a long time, and we successfully found it. But we decided on this strategy later, and used the light of this relic in front of us to cover up the one we found at that time."

Neither of them had any intention of going back to rest. Instead, they stayed here chatting and waiting for the outcome of the war. The night passed quickly, and at dawn, Chen Chuan saw the glow in the sky slowly fading.

Yao Zhiyi said, "It seems to be going well. I will move the airship forward. Manager Chen, you can ask me if you don't understand anything about cultivation. You can go back first."

Chen Chuan said hello, immediately stood up and said goodbye to Yao Zhiyi, then walked down from the airship. After standing on the ground, he watched the airship slowly rise and gradually go away.
