Chapter 3112: The plan to counterattack (1)
Translator: 549690339
The big-bearded man didn’t know what kind of opportunity he had encountered.
The high-grade origin spiritual treasure that Tang Zhen was tracking had treated the big-bearded man as a candidate for the child of the plane and helped him tide through a calamity.
However, he was only a candidate and had not been confirmed to be qualified.
Originally, with the big-bearded man’s apt.i.tude, he was not worthy of having this qualification. It was completely because of Tang Zhen’s Secret cultivation that he had barely received the attention of the origin spiritual treasure.
With the arrival of the world-ending tribulation, the number of outstanding cultivators was too small, and there were very few suitable targets to choose from.
Otherwise, such a great thing would not have fallen into the big-bearded man’s lap.
The original source spiritual treasure must be extremely depressed, wondering why it had encountered such a top-grade fellow.
Other than the big-bearded man with a vicious mouth, the unfathomable Tang Zhen had similarly caused the origin spiritual treasure to be abnormally afraid.
Before choosing the big-bearded man, the origin spiritual treasure had once scanned Tang Zhen and regarded him as the first choice of the child of the plane.
Compared to the other native cultivators, Tang Zhen’s performance could be said to be perfect. He was definitely the best choice for the child of the plane.
However, after the inspection, the origin spiritual treasure became suspicious and did not dare to continue approaching Tang Zhen.
This was because it seriously suspected that Tang Zhen was not as simple as he looked on the surface. It was very likely that he was hiding a huge secret.
The child of the plane’s right to choose was indeed in the hands of the original soul treasure, but it had to bear the responsibility after the choice.
If someone with bad intentions used the luck given by the original spirit treasure to do bad things, it was likely to cause an endless catastrophe.
In a world that was already plagued with disasters, if another super scourge appeared, there would be no hope at all.
If that was the case, the spiritual treasure of the origin would also bear the karma, and the backlash would be very serious.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he gave up on Tang Zhen and chose another target.
He would rather be safe and choose a mediocre person than take any risks.
It was originally a disdainful act, but under a strange combination of circ.u.mstances, it helped the original source spiritual treasure avoid a disaster.
There was another reason. The origin spiritual treasure sensed a hidden danger from Tang Zhen, whom it could not see through.
Compared to the muddleheaded low-grade spiritual treasures of the origin, high-grade spiritual treasures of the origin would have the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster after gaining independent consciousness.
Tang Zhen was a source of danger. He had to decisively avoid him in time to avoid any accidents.
When it discovered that the big-bearded man was looking for Tang Zhen, the origin spiritual treasure immediately disappeared and left the secret base far away.
Up until now, it had only placed its consciousness on the big-bearded man, but its main body was hidden in an unknown location.
The reason for this was naturally because the big-bearded man was still in the observation period and had not yet reached the stage of recognizing a master.
If a decision was made, the origin spiritual treasure would appear on its own and stay beside the big-bearded man.
The origin spiritual treasure thought that it had hidden itself well. However, it did not know that Tang Zhen had already discovered the traces it had left behind.
This also allowed Tang Zhen to conclude that the day of harvest was not far away.
The spiritual treasure of the origin could not wait to find a target. It was naturally related to the current environment.
If the original spiritual treasure didn’t appear, the survivors would all die. At that time, there would be no hope.
The big-bearded man knew nothing about all this. He didn’t know that an opportunity had descended on his head.
Of course, this opportunity did not belong to him.
Many cultivators, including the big-bearded man, were bait cast by Tang Zhen. In order to ensure that the fish took the bait, they had to be fed until the fish were fat and strong.
There was no compensation at all. After all, they had not lost anything. On the contrary, they had obtained a great opportunity.
It was better to say that it was a kind of reward. Whether or not he could catch a fat fish, the bait would definitely not suffer a loss.
The big-bearded man was clueless and was secretly conflicted in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided not to say anything for the time being. He would only report it after he had figured out the truth.
Tang Zhen naturally would not expose him. After all, the fish had yet to truly bite the hook.
It was precisely at such a time that he had to be steady so as not to scare away the vigilant fish.
The big-bearded man told Tang Zhen about what he had encountered and concealed the part where his mysterious consciousness partic.i.p.ated.
When he mentioned this, the bearded man gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could swallow the enemy’s flesh and blood.
Tang Zhen nodded and reminded the big-bearded man to be more careful. At the same time, he summoned the cultivators in the base for a meeting.
It didn’t take long for more than seven hundred cultivators to arrive one after another. Most of them were mortals who had modified their root bones.
Tang Zhen hosted the meeting and explained the current situation as well as the next step of the battle plan.
The bastions wouldn’t give up so easily in the face of a harvest of energy crystals. They’d be planning something even bigger.
Although they could move on the ground under the cover of the gray fog, the danger that the survivors faced was far greater than before.
The bastions had Reapers, but they also had a large number of people, ready to form an Army at any time.
Once they were all mobilized, even with the presence of the gray fog, they would be able to clean up the ground.
Exterminating the survivors and collecting energy crystals was definitely killing two birds with one stone.
With the combination of bastions and patrol ships, the enemy could sweep the ground and ignore the inconvenience and threat caused by the gray fog.
He still didn’t do so. Clearly, he was in a state of hesitation and didn’t want to make any more sacrifices.
But if the problem remained unsolvable for a long time, the bastions would use this method.
If the enemy did that, it would be very disadvantageous for the survivors.
The number of survivors was small, and it could be said that one death was one less. They did not dare to compete with the enemy in terms of attrition.
However, with Tang Zhen here, there was naturally no lack of methods to solve the problem. Moreover, there was more than one.
For example, the runic magic circle could transform a mortal into a cultivator. As long as there were enough energy crystals, the transformation could continue to work.
However, there were many drawbacks to this method of modifying one’s root bone. It would cause hidden dangers to the body of the modified person.
In addition, there was a clear upper limit to this kind of cultivation improvement. After reaching a certain level, there would be no further progress.
Cultivators who had modified their root bones were not considered cannon fodder, but there was still a huge gap between them and real cultivators.
However, in the face of death, even if there were hidden dangers, the survivors fought to be the first to accept the transformation.
Rather than being helpless in the face of danger, the survivors were more willing to have strong strength to protect themselves and their companions.
After the modification was completed, the modified cultivator could use the skills he had learned to set up runic magic circles everywhere.
The number of survivors on this planet was pitifully small, so there was no need to worry about harming the innocent.
When the bastions sent out their troops for ground combat, they’d know the true strength of cultivators.
The invader would realize in despair that what awaited them was not energy crystals, but a terrifying purgatory on earth.
In addition to setting up the runic magic circle, Tang Zhen also proposed a counterattack against the bastions.
Hearing this suggestion, the cultivators who were attending the meeting immediately became excited.
Although the survivors were able to fight back against the enemy, it was only to a small extent.
To the bastions, it wasn’t a major blow.
The greatest result was the gray mist’s efforts, which stopped the bastions from collecting the energy crystals.
If it weren’t for the gray fog’s presence that successfully struck the Bastion’s vital point, the enemy wouldn’t even have bothered with the survivors “counterattacks.
If there really was a way to fight back against a bastion ship, it would be an exciting prospect.
Bastions were home to invaders, and the survivors would feel despair at the sight of them.
Although the survivors tried their best, it was like scratching an itch through a shoe, and they had no effect at all.
But Tang Zhen’s personal request to destroy the bastions had a completely different meaning.
Unlike the other survivors, both the gray fog that shrouded the planet and the mobile base were created by Tang Zhen.
Their strength increased rapidly. It was also Tang Zhen’s masterpiece that mortals could transform their root bones into cultivators.
The survivors did not have any doubts about Tang Zhen’s strength.. They believed that as long as he wanted to do something, he would definitely be able to do it!
