Chapter 641 Warriors Weren’t Immortals
“Deputy Chief?”
Su Li shook her head and laughed, “What can I do with that? You haven’t recovered. Have a rest.”
“Well, Ma Camp has not many rules in Thousand Cities Camp. We can live here for a month, and we will be driven out if we keep staying here for more than a month.”
Li Qing reminded, and Su Li nodded.
Time flew. Half a month pa.s.sed. Su Li had spent 80% of her time healing her wounds in the past half month. She understood that the crisis had not been resolved. The trouble was not the giant corpse, but the small corpse monster lying beside the giant corpse’s mouth. The small corpse monster made her escape.
She was in one of the famous “Thousand Cities Camps” at this time. It was impossible for her to put her life under the others’ control. She thought she should make herself stronger.
Perhaps her frequent use of Ghost Valley Meditation Scripture and the special rules of Chimo Circle helped her get new insights and breakthroughs besides the highest level of Ghost Valley Meditation Direction during the healing process.
If the previous Ghost Valley Meditation Direction could only be regarded as a middle-lower holy method, now the current grade of Ghost Valley Meditation Direction nearly reached the top, and it could finally barely keep up with Su Li’s combat power realm.
So, Su Li’s healing speed had been greatly improved. In the first ten days without a breakthrough, Su Li’s cultivation only recovered twenty percent based on her full power. After the breakthrough, Su Li’s eighty percent injury was directly recovered within five days. There was only some of the hidden injuries which needed time to heal, and it didn’t affect her combat power anymore.
But…the evil ghost hadn’t recovered yet.
Su Li wore a veil and sat in front of the house. Watching people coming and going, she narrowed her eyes. She needed a lot of evil souls to supplement the evil ghost. But it seemed that there was no evil soul in Chimo Circle.
At least, the evil ghost that had just been reshaped was still weakly hidden in the shadow, showing no desire to eat.
The Divine Thunder of Five Elements were lost. Without the help of the ghost body and extreme measures, her power was at most between that of an ordinary Junior Emperor and a strong Junior Emperor.
This was by no means the state she wanted.
Since the evil ghost was temporarily unable to recover, Su Li turned her attention to other methods that could be improved.
The first was the Destruction Will of Sword. After she understood Ye Che’s essay, her understanding of sword circle had reached a realm of perfection. The next realm was the legendary “Sword Region Realm” where she could attack using a virtual sword. There was no shortcut. She could faintly predict that it would at least cost her ten thousand years to break through this realm. It was such a greatly long time.
Before the Sword Region Realm, the sword circle damage was still extremely terrifying. But she lacked a flying sword that could carry her power. Without such a sword, her power would be greatly reduced.
This method couldn’t work. The nature curb and ghost curb were weird and changeable. Although they were both very useful, their limitations were obvious. Their lethality was not high and the speed was too slow, so she could easily fall into a pa.s.sive state.
After thinking about it, Su Li found that the only methods she could break through were Sword-transforming Method and Suiyu Tactics.
After she absorbed the pneuma of the black lotus, which was picked up in the Death Region that day, the Black Lotus Thronehad changed. But it took quite a lot of stones to nurture supernatural power. Fortunately, it was easy for her to absorb it, and there was almost no hindrance. As long as she could get enough stones, she would soon be able to awaken to her talented supernatural power.
Her Suiyu Tacticshad stayed at the peak of its second hurdle for the past few years since she ventured to break through its second hurdle. She needed a chance to break through its third hurdle. If the First Elder of the Ling Family’s words were true, she would give it a try in the days to come.
Thinking of this, Su Li called in Li Qing and the others, who had been waiting for them for a few days, to go to the entrance of the department where they could get their power verified.
The entrance guard seemed to have been waiting for them to come. Seeing Li Qing coming first, he looked in awe. Then he glanced at Su Li and the others, “We are not busy today. You and your subordinates can follow me.”
Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood them, Li Qing wanted to explain. But Su Li stopped her.
Seeing this, Li Qing had to give up and followed in while talking with Su Li through transmitting the sound.
“Ordinary people here entered the camp a few days ago. They have no power and can only stay in the temporary residence for at most half a month.”
Su Li nodded. She could see melancholy and ease on Li Qing’s face. It was such an incomprehensible and complicated look.
She didn’t understand what Li Qing’s persistence was, and what it meant after she gave it up at this moment.
Everyone had their own sufferings, and there was no need to understand everything.
Li Qing was obviously a seventh-cla.s.s warrior. Li Dazhuang, Wu Rong and others were at least sixth-cla.s.s warriors. Su Li also showed her power of a sixth-cla.s.s warrior at this moment. Such a good warrior team was popular in large-scale camps. After the procedure, everyone joined Ma Camp.
Not long after, everyone entered the gate of the camp. As the sky was still bright, they could get a glimpse of the whole camp.
Ma Camp was like a mountain city. There was a flat masonry avenue that was nearly forty to fifty degrees vertical in the middle. On both sides of the avenue, there were countless houses with different sizes distributed in a trapezoid shape. The closer to the top of the mountain, the taller the houses. The overall architectural style was grayish-yellow, revealing a strong and plain meaning.
It was the evening. Su Li was standing at the lowest point of the avenue and looking up. She could see that the avenue was still bustling warriors. She was holding a bra.s.s round plate. The words “Su Li” just engraved on it were a bit hot, and there was an ancient word “Ma” and the unique logo of Thousand Cities Camp on the back of the plate.
This was a symbol of the warrior of Ma Camp, and Li Qing’s ident.i.ty plate was silver, which looked more n.o.ble.
Wu Rong leaned against Li Qing and touched the silver round plate with envious expression. She couldn’t put it down, “When can I break through the seventh cla.s.s? The silver sign is so beautiful.”
Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh, “Seventh-cla.s.s warriors are upper-middle in this kind of large-scale camp. You are talented, and I believe you will be able to break through soon. The ident.i.ty plates are just representation. Just like Su Li… You should behave yourself in the camp. You can’t offend people everywhere as before, otherwise I won’t help you.”
“I see.”
Wu Rong spit out her tongue and immediately took a peek at Su Li again. After witnessing the giant corpse being blown away with Su Li’s punch, Wu Rong naturally changed her mentality.
Although Li Qing didn’t finish her words, she already understood the meaning. To survive in a large camp, she must firmly ride on the Su Li’s coattails!
“What are you talking about?”
Li Dazhuang was confused when he heard it. Dai Hechun glanced at the sky and scratched his head, ‘It’s getting late. We should find a place to live.”
“There is reception area for warriors in large-scale camps, and we can get our residence for free based on our power.”
Li Qing obviously knew the layout of the “Thousand Cities Camps” very well. She looked around and beckoned them to join the crowd.
At the same time—
In the gray building at the highest point of the entire mountain city, a heavy door was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged warrior with vigorous pneuma and a solemn expression hurriedly walked in. Then he placed a diamond-shaped crystal flas.h.i.+ng with red light on the table.
Sitting at the table, the chubby old man immediately raised his head. He frowned and slowly picked up the crystal. He couldn’t help but speak in a low voice, “Is that true?”
“Yes!” The middle-aged warrior said coldly. He looked solemnly, “This was just sent by the scouts at the front. In order to test the diamond-shaped crystal, we lost several good subordinates.”
“The thing that worries me the most has happened.”
The chubby old man sighed. He grabbed the diamond-shaped crystal in his hand and walked to the floor-to-ceiling gla.s.s window. He looked at the entire mountain city and the lights gradually lit up. Then he suddenly said,
“Fifty years ago, ‘Li Camp’ was overturned overnight. It seemed to happen yesterday for me… Li Hong, what do you think?”
When the middle-aged warrior heard the words “Li Hong”, he was silent for a long time and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Chief, I haven’t used this name for many years.”
The chubby old man sighed again, “It’s only fifty years. In fact, your father shouldn’t be blamed for your younger sister’s death. He has tried his best. Even if you abandon the past, can you live with it?”
“I…”
Li Hong’s eyes were red, and he couldn’t speak.
“We warriors are not immortals.”
The old man had complex eyes and stared at the dark night sky, “Not every disaster can be predicted. Your father’s camp suffered the great calamitythat year. Everyone couldn’t react to it. Even the Master of the circle came late. Because of that calamity, we learned that there were terrible monsters ‘corpse demons’ in Death Region, and we got an approach to guard against them.
The wisdom of the corpse demon could rival that of our Human Clan, and the corpse demon was even more cunning. Compared with the corpse monster, it is like a higher-level creature, dominating everything in Death Region. Although I don’t understand why the corpse demon targeted your camp back then…”
The old man lowered his head and looked at the flas.h.i.+ng red crystal in his hand, “This time it’s our turn.”
Li Hong’s eyes were filled with hate for an instant, and he said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “This time, I won’t let the tragedy happen again!”
“Ha-ha…”
The old man turned around and laughed heartily, “Although your power is good, they are corpse demons after all. This is the first time that the Master of the circle’s testing diamond-shaped crystal has responded. He wouldn’t stand aside, but…we also have to be prepared.”
Li Hong took a deep breath and nodded.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a young man who looked a little unreliable walked in with a smile on his face, “Geezer Ma, I have contacted ‘Zhou Camp’ and ‘w.a.n.g Camp’, which are the two closest camps to us. They will send ten warriors over tomorrow, who are all eighth-cla.s.s warriors!”
The young man made a finger gesture of number ten. Then when he saw Li Hong, he smiled and leaned forward, “Oh. Our King Warrior Hong, why are your eyes red? Geezer, did you bully Uncle Hong?”
The old man was about to compliment the young man. When he heard these words, he suddenly wore a long face and cursed, “Screw you! Get out and practice!”
The young man said aggrievedly, “Geezer, you burn the bridge after crossing it. Men are not what they were in the times of long ago!”
The old man suddenly became mad. He picked up the inkstone beside the table and was about to smash it at the young man. The young man ran away immediately. As he run, he said,
“Geezer, wait and see. It won’t take a long time. I’m also a King Warrior, and I’m better than anyone in that d.a.m.n mirror!”
