Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed
Chapter 411 This is what we should do (8200, please vote for me)
Thanks to the lessons learned from the Tallinn people and some indescribable paranoia of persecution, Yuanwang considered how to make a safe emergency landing in the event that the engine was out of control/destroyed from the very beginning of its design.
The way to deal with this problem is actually very simple, that is, in addition to the main engine, equip two additional backup psychic engines.
However, ordinary spaceships do not have space to carry those spare behemoths, but because most of the crew of the Yuanwang are Tallinn people in the electronic soul state, the cabin space they have freed up is enough to load those huge power modules.
The power of the backup psychic engines is not comparable to that of the main engine, but they can be blessed by the spiritual power of the practitioner.
Therefore, when the Yuanwang was shot down by a sudden attack from the Qingqiu planet, with the superb driving skills of the captain Ke Talun and the help of all the spiritual power of Su Zhou and the practitioners on the ship, the spacecraft remained in the atmosphere while Adjusting the orbit while slowing down the landing speed of the spacecraft, finally, the backup engine was activated before hitting the land, and it barely landed smoothly on the Qingqiu Star Continent, among the coastal mountains in the northwest.
The first thing after landing is naturally to put everyone on alert and explore the surrounding environment.
The enemies on Qingqiu Planet are extraordinary in strength. Their spiritual power technology, or in other words, large-scale magic circle technology is quite advanced!
At the emergency meeting, Su Zhou told everyone openly: We cannot underestimate the enemy.
And this is not just Su Zhou's idea - in fact, this is the idea of all Yuanwang crew members.
There are methods on Earth that can be launched from the surface to directly attack enemies in outer space orbit, but the spiritual power and formation materials required are too much, almost to the point of luxury.
Rather than spending such huge resources to build this kind of magic circle, it would be better to cultivate a few strong men, or build several identical space battleships to keep the enemy out of the solar system.
But since the enemies on Qingqiu Planet have done this, it means that they must have been prepared.
And who was the enemy they were originally scheduled to fight?
Whether it is Su Zhou or anyone else, as long as they use their brains to think about it, they will know clearly.
The real imaginary enemies of those spiritual arrows attacking the Yuanwang are immortal gods!
Is it possible that the military leader has partially resurrected, so he uses the orthodox gods of the Central Divine Court as his imaginary enemy?
During the emergency meeting before going out to explore, Su Zhou had been thinking about the possibility in this regard.
But in the end, he frowned and rejected his guess: No, if the soldier master is really resurrected, then as the former Tianzun, even if he has missing limbs and the core of his true soul has been taken away, his power will not be the same. It should be something we can resist.”
A heavenly master might only need to blow his breath to hold down an ordinary spaceship.
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but flash in his mind the huge city clusters of towers that he saw from high altitude during the Yuanwang's crash landing...
Although it was just a glance, the unusually high spiritual reaction and the weird urban structure that was like a nail board, as if copied and pasted, made him feel incredible and had a profound memory.
——Even a big city with a population of tens of millions in Tiandu Demon City does not have such a high concentration of spiritual power! This is obviously abnormal!
With such doubts, Su Zhou, Liu Wuxin and Lin Chengde went out to explore the surrounding situation.
Among them, Su Zhou was investigating the complex mountainous area, Liu Wuxin was investigating the coastal direction not far away, and Lin Chengde was responsible for detecting the surrounding jungle area.
As for Tang Yuan and the researchers from the Daoji Bureau, they stayed in place, released drones, and examined conventional planetary data such as local air plants to try to model Qingqiu Planet.
Soon, Su Zhou, who was acting alone and investigating towards the deep mountains, soon sensed abnormal spiritual power fluctuations coming from the distance, as well as a 'smell' that he was very familiar with.
I'm going to check on the situation!
After leaving this sentence in the channel, the young man accelerated directly, heading towards the other side with rolling wind and thunder.
...Su Zhou's actions have always been so resolute and resolute, similar to how he was in the Beast God Realm.
Hearing this message, Lin Chengde looked at the direction Su Zhou left from a distance, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: It's good to be decisive. In the new era, the country does need a decisive saint.
As a disciple of the Nong Sheng and a practitioner of the sacred tree, Lin Chengde was naturally aware of the series of assessments and tests that Su Zhou had recently accepted.
Compared with the slightly conservative older generation, Lin Chengde, as a practitioner of the new era, was actually very happy to see the emergence of a new sage who was extremely young and had no obvious faction like Su Zhou.
Of course, the most important thing is that Su Zhou's appearance on the Holy Seat is actually a signal - it means that many new Holy Seats will appear one after another to replace the original older generation.
This is a natural cycle of reincarnation, and I am afraid that I and my fellow seniors will also try to compete for the position of ‘Farmer Saint’ left by our teacher in the future.
Thinking about this aspect, Lin Chengde turned his head and focused his gaze on the surrounding trees. He smiled: His friend named Shao Qiming seems to have noticed this. Ha, the Shaw Group has made a full turn in recent times. , mobilizing public opinion from all angles and building momentum for Su Zhou, he is truly a qualified assistant, and I don’t know if Su Zhou knows this.
It's strange to say that the last time I saw Shao Qiming in West Gobi, I felt that he had an obvious but unfamiliar scent of sacred wood... He claimed to have gotten it from the fairyland, but I can still I wonder what the inheritance of ancient sacred trees is, and what are their flavors?”
While patrolling the surrounding jungle, using his divine tree power to communicate with the trees and looking for suspicious objects in the forest, Lin Chengde's thoughts couldn't help but be a little distracted by Su Zhou and Shao Qiming: These two guys are really good. Mysterious, they obviously have a lot of secrets, but no one will really check them, so they don't cover it up much - they say it's all a fairyland, it's too omnipotent.
The divergence only lasts for a moment.
When Lin Chengde started working seriously, his efficiency increased rapidly.
Soon, within the scope of his responsibility, Lin Chengde had a general understanding of the composition and fertility of the land, as well as the types of plants and their similarities and differences with the plants on the earth, and had an understanding of the local ecological cycle of Qingqiu Planet. Quite understanding.
Qingqiu Planet is a jungle planet that is roughly the same as the Earth. Its land is almost entirely composed of various jungles and dense forests, and most of the plants are the same as the Earth. It should be hundreds of thousands of years ago that the immortals It is related to the ecological transformation that God first colonized Qingqiu Planet.
The only difference between this world and the earth is 'rain'.
The entire Qingqiu planet is shrouded in thick clouds and rain most of the time, and the excessively wet rain invades the entire world.
eccentric.
Raising his head and looking at the surging rain clouds high in the sky, Lin Chengde pushed up his glasses. Various data were projected on the magic weapon-level electronic lenses. He suddenly felt a little confused: It shouldn't be, even if it can really sweep through The heavy rain all over the world cannot last for such a long time...
Even if someone did it deliberately, why?
Just when Lin Chengde was trying to analyze and think about the nature of global rainfall by modeling it.
Suddenly, waves of terrifying spiritual power erupted from the distant mountains, and a series of thunder exploded.
what happened?
Turning his head and looking towards the mountain, where Su Zhou was, Lin Chengde frowned: Could it be that Su Zhou has encountered an enemy?!
Twenty minutes later.
Inside the Yuanwang, in the medical room.
I just encountered some local rubbish.
With that said, Su Zhou, who returned to the Yuanwang, held a big white fox with a poor complexion and tired look under his right arm. He waved his left hand as usual. Signaling to everyone: Don't worry, I have already cleaned up the garbage.
Even if it's trash, Captain, you should catch it alive.
Hearing this, Lin Chengde shook his head slightly, a little disappointed: At least the other party is also a source of information. We urgently need this thing to confirm the current situation.
Liu Wuxin on the side complained: No, Captain, why did you bring back another fox?
Isn't it normal that there are many foxes in Qingqiu? And he is not a fox, he is a human.
Shaking his head, Su Zhou did not continue to reply to Liu Wuxin's words, but handed the big fox under his arm to Lin Chengde: Be careful, handle it with care.
He explained seriously: This is a local Qingqiu man I rescued. His human body was seriously injured and he would die if he was dragged on. So I let him recover his fox body and wait for treatment.
Although it can be saved with my blood, if you are saved like this, you will definitely become my dependent... In a sense, this is not a good thing. And I remember that the Taoist methods of the Shenmu series can heal If the origin, that is, the true body is treated, the original body can also be cured gradually.
No problem, it's my duty.
Naturally, Lin Chengde would not refuse such a task.
After Su Zhou handed him the white fox under his arm, Lin Chengde's long woody hair with aerial roots rolled up automatically, and its tail end took on a needle shape and flashed with a green light full of life.
Then, the needles were pointed at the white fox.
Gu, Gu Gu?!
In the frightened eyes of the tired white fox, Lin Chengde controlled countless Aoki hair needles and smiled at the other party: Don't worry, the needles are very thin and fast. They won't hurt.
A shadow fell over the fox.
after a while.
Gu Zechuan, whose injuries were mostly healed but who looked even more tired, sat on a seat in the Yuanwang conference room, waiting for questions from people on the Earth side.
It could be seen that the ears of this young man with white hair and fox ears were shaking uneasily. He carefully looked around the people present, his heart full of doubts.
——Are these people all from the Central Divine Court?
Gu Zechuan felt uneasy when he thought of this.
Central Divine Courtyard.
Ancient vocabulary.
Whether it was the cultivators of the sacred tree who treated him before, or the Dragon King who rescued him from evil spirits and summoned wind and rain, they all seemed to prove this.
Moreover, as an absolutely powerful party, these people have no need to deceive themselves...the other party may really be a visitor from the Central Divine Court, a line of immortals and gods who has left Qingqiu Kingdom for thousands of years!
Gu Zechuan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and carefully looked around the four people in the conference room. Years of fighting experience allowed him to immediately distinguish the strengths, weaknesses and characteristics of everyone present.
First of all, there is the short-haired man with muscles all over his body and regular facial features... This man named Liu Wuxin claims to be the inheritor of the 'Weiwu Lineage'. His strong martial arts temperament and life breath also prove this. a little.
And his strength is also quite strong, with an innate peak realm.
However, Liu Wuxin's appearance is too ordinary, especially for the Qingqiu people's aesthetics. Overly developed muscles and short hair are physical defects in a certain sense, and it is difficult to find the opposite sex to form a family. Maybe this is the aesthetic of Shenting?
Secondly, it was Lin Chengde, the inheritor of the sacred tree who healed him.
This man with long wooden hair is also very strong, and he is also at the peak of his innate nature - but the difference from the former is that this man is not only pretty good-looking, but also has profound medical skills. He is Qingqiu There is a huge shortage of medical monks nowadays.
At least Gu Zechuan himself feels much better now, and most of the places injured by evil spirits have healed... If there was such a medical monk in the shelter, then many people would probably not die...
Even Tang Yuan, who was mediocre and had no advantage in strength, gave Gu Zechuan an ethereal feeling that was difficult to kill. Although this pale young man was sitting aside, his presence was extremely low. If Gu Zechuan hadn't been serious, he would have been very... Maybe they just ignored the other person’s existence.
However, all these 'unique' impressions and ideas are too insignificant to Su Zhou's existence itself.
The black-haired young man sat in the main seat of the conference hall. He did nothing but crossed his hands and supported his chin. Just such a simple action occupied more than 90% of his presence.
This kind of sense of oppression that is so strong that it is unreasonable and exudes is the most terrifying and difficult type to deal with in everyone's eyes.
In fact, just the strength he displayed made Su Zhou feel more terrifying to Gu Zechuan than the war commander from the evil side he saw when the evil army attacked the refuge last time.
As for the four-cornered crab on the side, and the silver-white fox lying on the crab's head...
——Uh, what's going on? What kind of creature is that four-legged crab? What kind of imitating Taoist practice is it?
Uncontrollably turning his gaze in that direction, Gu Zechuan subconsciously analyzed: A six-tailed fox? But why, with such a talent, his strength is still so low at such an old age...
Hello, Mr. Gu, now we need your help to explain what is the current situation of Qingqiu Star?
While he was thinking wildly, Su Zhou's calm questioning voice made Gu Zechuan react.
He calmed down and then replied: Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon King... The changes in Qingqiu Star happened a long time ago... I have not experienced that era, but according to the history circulated within the clan, everything must start from The immortals and gods of the past left Qingqiu and talked about it.
As one of the vassal worlds with the deepest connection with the Central Divine Court, Qingqiu Kingdom has an extremely close connection with the immortal gods.
Although the Lord of Qingqiu is nominally the supreme ruler of this planet, in fact, even the little fox knows that the actual owner of this planet is the direct immortal god sent by the Central Divine Court.
Of course, the previous Qingqiu Kingdom Lords did not mind this, and the entire planet developed harmoniously under the will of the Central Divine Court.
It wasn't until thousands of years ago that the gods gradually withdrew from this universe.
The spiritual energy is cut off, the immortal gods disappear, and their attention is no longer on this universe. There are rumors all the time that the immortal gods will migrate away. They will leave behind a large number of mortal races and leave the world that is about to lose their spiritual energy...
Similar rumors emerged one after another in Qingqiu Country, bringing turmoil to the entire country, and this turmoil reached its peak more than a thousand years ago.
A few years after the last successor to the Immortal God left Qingqiu, ‘Xie Sui’ assassinated Lao Wang.
Then, the world was in chaos.
The people of Qingqiu, who were originally panicked and confused because there was no immortal god, lost their nominal king, and the world was completely in chaos.
Whether it is ambitious careerists, conspirators with far-reaching intentions, or all other powerful people vying for the throne and becoming the new king, they have formed forces on the entire planet, and it seems that a winner will be determined.
However, the forces that appeared in the old capital, the silent evil army, defeated everyone in the end and swept the world.
We still haven't figured out what the evil spirits are like. In short, they suddenly appeared like this, and then many strong men were possessed, and then they changed their camps and started fighting with their original allies. , and then created large areas of ruins.”
The white-haired, blue-eyed young man with fox ears had a helpless voice at this time. He drew pictures on the light screen prepared for him on the earth, and said in a solemn tone: A small group of Qingqiu people were driven out of their own country and city, and were forced to Living in the deep mountains and old forests. Most of our compatriots who had no time to escape were captured by the evil spirits and then imprisoned.
Fortunately, the conditions for evil possession are very harsh. Most people do not meet the conditions, and only a handful of people can... But even so, if the spiritual energy was not cut off, I am afraid that there would no longer be such a thing on this planet more than a thousand years ago. There are free Qingqiu people.
You mean to say that the 'evil evil spirit' in your mouth has only started to take action again recently? Liu Wuxin asked, holding the early warning report time of Zhengguo's Red Sky Sword in his hand, and talking to Gu Zechuan The various time correspondences mentioned.
The warrior's expression was quite surprised: Well, I can actually cope with it... You're not lying.
There is no need for me to deceive you, gentlemen of the Central Divine Court.
With a long sigh, the still weak fox-eared young man shook his head: Actually, more than ten years ago, the evil spirits gradually became active and launched a siege on the refuge, and built those huge spiritual towers - This is what evil spirits call themselves—but they are only sporadic actions and do not pose a threat.”
In the past three years, after the spiritual energy was restored, the evil spirits' actions have become more intense and frequent. The intensity is even several times that of a thousand years ago. We are completely unable to compete with each other. Now we can only run away in panic, and we are in constant panic.
And the scariest thing is the heavy rain.
With that said, Gu Zechuan raised his head and pointed worriedly at the dark rain clouds covering almost the entire planet on the virtual Qingqiu star map in the light curtain: Since two years ago, the world has begun to be transformed. Heavy rains cover the world, and dark rain clouds cover the world.”
We don't know if this is the work of evil spirits, but since then, the aura of the entire world has become more and more strange, and evil spirits are finding shelters faster and faster, and breakthroughs in shelters have There are fewer and fewer people who are innate and immortal...
The elders are very suspicious that this is an evil spirit that is transforming the spiritual environment of the entire planet!
oh?
Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but let out a soft oh, and his expression became serious. Everyone present turned their heads and looked at him as the leader. They didn't know why Su Zhou suddenly expressed surprise.
It's nothing, I just have some ideas.
Waving his hand to distract everyone, Su Zhou motioned for Gu Zechuan to continue.
Actually, there's nothing more to say.
Gu Zechuan answered honestly: In this way, the evil spirits have completely taken over. They are transforming the planet and building spiritual towers, and their purpose...from beginning to end, we know nothing about it.
In this regard, Su Zhou, who had not heard the information he wanted from the beginning to the end, asked: Then, do you know that the 'Soldier Lord' has been sealed in Qingqiu Kingdom?
Soldier leader?
Hearing this word, Gu Zechuan was slightly startled. It could be seen that the Qingqiu fox man showed a very real expression of confusion. He asked in confusion: Who is that?
...
Immediately, everyone in the conference room from Earth, including Su Zhou, looked at each other.
he does not know?
real or fake?
There's no reason why people in Qingqiu don't know about the existence of the Soldier Master?
The doubts in everyone's hearts grew even more.
But there is no doubt that history has been covered up.
You know, even the ancestors of the ice foxes on the four sides of Qingqiu knew very well that more than a thousand years ago, it was the war master's seal that was on the verge of being unsealed that caused the chaos, so they left Qingqiu with the fragments of their true soul core. Qiu Xing.
And now, more than a thousand years later, these foxes who are still staying on Qingqiu Planet... have completely forgotten the existence of the Soldier Master?
This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen, just like Zhengguo people forgetting to speak Chinese! But the scariest thing is that it really happened!
——There is definitely something fishy in this.
This was what Su Zhou and others had in mind.
However, Gu Zechuan is also very young. They suspect that this is probably because Gu Zechuan himself does not know much about the history of Qingqiu. They feel that they should go to the refuge mentioned by him and ask more questions from the older generation of Qingqiu people in order to be completely sure. a little.
Actually, if Xie Sui just wants to rule, that's it. After all, they are all from Qingqiu. So what if there is another king? After so many years of fighting, no one wants to continue fighting.
Gu Zechuan had realized that his previous answer was very problematic in the eyes of these people who might be from the Central Divine Court, but he did not know who the military leader was, and he had never heard anyone mention it.
Now, this young man could only murmur rather bleakly: But those evil spirits won't even accept surrender.
Anyone who gives up resistance will be imprisoned in the Soul-Suppressing Tower and will never be able to come out. The result of the divination is that they are indeed not dead, but they are only 'not dead'. What exactly happened to them there? We don’t know anything and can only continue to resist.”
As for those who are possessed by evil spirits, their souls have essentially become another person. Apart from their face, even their biological parents cannot recognize them. We have no idea what happened to those who were possessed. What……
Moreover, they don't mind killing people at all... They strangle us like rats, and catching people is just a way of doing it - because the population they control is already large enough, and natural reproduction alone is enough, without the need to catch people. People come to replenish the population...
Of all fears, fear of the unknown is the most primitive and strongest.
Faced with the 'evil spirit' whose motives and origins could not be guessed at all, the people of Qingqiu could only resist in extreme fear.
However, in the face of these evil spirits that suddenly possess, infect, and remain unknown, just like demons, too many people in Qingqiu have died. They are constantly migrating and escaping. The reason why they persist in fighting is simply because The other side didn't even accept surrender.
The originally prosperous Qingqiu Kingdom, a world that could be called the star that never sleeps, has turned into the dark Death Star it is now in the millennia of fear. Except for the tower cities that exude blue light, the entire planet Above it, there is nothing else that can emit light.
Everyone, since you claim to be from the Central Divine Court, then you may be the new generation of immortal gods.
When he said this, Gu Zechuan stood up slowly.
Facing the serious-looking people of Zhengguo, he knelt down without hesitation and gave everyone a bowing salute.
Please help us restore order...
When he said these words, Gu Zechuan's voice began to choke: I can't tell the truth from the false, but I want to believe... Messengers of the Divine Court, please help us. The shelter where I am is about to be attacked by evil spirits. I He was originally a messenger going to other refuges to ask for help, but on the way he found that the target of the request for help had been killed, and was intercepted by evil spirits...
I'm afraid you won't take any price I can pay for it, but if I can, I'm willing to pay any price to...
No need.
The strong spiritual power suppressed the fox-eared young man's next words, and then made him stand upright slowly.
Su Zhou, who was sitting in the main seat of the meeting, also stood up from his seat. He raised his chin slightly and said calmly: The reason why we are here is to help our compatriots who are also members of the Chinese human race.
So, you don't have to give up your dignity to beg. Just be normal and ask for help.
Um.
At this time, Lin Chengde also stood up. He stepped forward and pushed Gu Zechuan, who was still very weak and far from recovered, back to his seat: When one side is in trouble, support from all sides will come. Although I don't know if Qingqiu people also pay attention to this, but... Hey, at least you guys We’re all human, aren’t we? We even saved people from Tallinn.”
After saying this, Lin Chengde shrugged, while Liu Wuxin and Tang Yuan on the side also laughed, and even Ke Talun shook his head slightly, and a stiff laugh came from the translator.
The warrior responded humorously: Yes, there is no need to plead for what we have to do. But by the way, Mr. Gu, do all the people in Qingqiu look like you...
last question.
Simply interrupting Liu Wuxin's attempt to enliven the atmosphere, Su Zhou walked slowly towards Gu Zechuan, whose fingers were still trembling but whose soul had generally returned to calm.
He asked calmly: Mr. Gu, from the information you know, in the more than a thousand years since the evil spirit appeared until now, has there been any propaganda 'twilight' or twilight on Qingqiu planet? Other sects with strange gods?”
It doesn't need to be a specific god, it just needs to be a certain idea, some weird thought. Do you know about this sect?
At this time, Su Zhou's eyes were flashing with blue-purple magical light.
No……
Taking a deep breath, Gu Zechuan thought for a long time when facing Su Zhouming's supernatural power test, and then firmly shook his head: Whether it's evil spirits or the refuge, there is no such sect... Your Majesty the Dragon King, what's the matter? Are important things relevant?
Not only Gu Zechuan, but also others in Zhengguo didn't quite understand why Su Zhou asked like this. They also looked at the young man with a hint of curiosity.
Nothing, just asking.
Su Zhou was not very satisfied with this answer, but he did not try to explain the reason to everyone.
As for why Su Zhou suddenly asked such a question, the reason was very simple.
Because he noticed it when he killed the six evil spirits who besieged Gu Zechuan.
Those monsters with unimaginably evil souls contain a hint of a 'great existence' within them.
Although it is so indifferent that it is impossible to tell which side it belongs to, it is indeed the aura of a 'great existence'.
interesting.
After a while, Gu Zechuan, who had just recovered from his serious injury and was in a state of emotional ups and downs, was sent back to the medical room to continue treatment. Lin Chengde was responsible for taking care of him. Liu Wuxin and Ke Talun also returned to their jobs.
Even the ice fox ‘elder’ returned to the ice foxes’ cabin.
Only Su Zhou and Tang Yuan remained in the conference hall.
Whispering to himself, the young man stared at the rough map of Qingqiu Star projected in the center of the conference table, then stretched out a hand and pointed it in the middle of the ocean.
The remains of the soldier master who may have broken free of the seal, the evil spirit that is inextricably linked to the great existence, and the mysterious existence hidden behind it... This Qingqiu star is really a bit lively.
After taking a long breath, Su Zhou said in a deep voice: Get ready to go, Tang Yuan.
Yes! Uh...
He subconsciously agreed. After realizing it, Tang Yuan's face turned pale again. He asked a little cautiously: Where are we going? Minister?
of course?
Already striding out of the conference room, Su Zhou said calmly: Of course I am going to Mr. Gu Zechuan's hometown, Gu's Sanctuary, to help local humans fight against those monsters.
After all, I killed those evil spirits too quickly before. Now I have many doubts and want to get verification from them.
