Chapter 926: a.s.sa.s.sinating the Turan King?
Since the route had been determined…
The next step was coming up with a specific strategy.
How should they delay the expansion and preparation of the advanced orcs until the first shot was fired on the western front?
“Wait until our wounds heal a little and then go back to Dragon City to get reinforcements?”
Meng Chao immediately rejected this idea.
There were two reasons.
One, it was too slow.
Although he felt muddle-headed and confused as he drifted down Raging Tiger River…
He could still sense that he had drifted for at least ten days and half a month, all the way from the super waterfall, Guillotine, to the middle of Picturesque Orchid Lake.
To return to Dragon City from there, the road was not only rugged, but along the way, they would meet many Turan clans.
Right then, all the major clans were recruiting troops, or in other words, capturing strong men and pulling cannon fodder.
He was alone, and his appearance was so eye-catching. He also did not know much about the local customs of the Turan civilization.
Even if he could escape the b.l.o.o.d.y Skull Arena, Black-corner City, and the Blood Hoof Clan’s territory, he would be captured by other clans and sent to another arena, or be incorporated into the cannon fodder army.
If he went out at night and hid in disguise, he might be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the slave-catchers.
However, he would not be able to travel more than twenty to thirty miles a day.
When he returned to Dragon City, he would sort out a myriad of things in Dragon City and convince the higher-ups to act according to his plan. Then, he would return to Picturesque Orchid Lake as Dragon City’s special envoy.
It was likely that the Turan civilization’s army had already gathered into a surging tide and rushed toward the eternal land of Holy Light in the north.
“Time… Time is key.
“I remember that when Dragon City came into contact with the outside world in my previous life, the Chaos camp and the Holy Light camp were already in full swing.
“Based on this calculation, it is very likely that it will be less than a year and a half before the spark of the war between the two worlds is ignited.
“Such a short time is not enough for me to go to Dragon City for a round trip.”
Besides, Dragon City still had “Lu Siya.”
Meng Chao felt a dull pain when he thought of the last time he fought with that woman who had transformed into a wild banshee and grown thousands of tentacles.
It was not that he was afraid of “Lu Siya.”
What a joke. He was a tough man who had returned from the apocalypse, and he was unyielding.
How could he be afraid of “Lu Siya”?
You have no idea how much he wanted to regroup and fight “Lu Siya” for another 300 rounds!
The problem was the people other than “Lu Siya.”
When the monster mastermind was complacent, it had once been honest with Meng Chao. Even if it was expelled from Lu Siya’s body, it would be useless.
That was because there was far more than one fragment of Mother 1.
During the entire Monster War, many of Dragon City’s most powerful people had been eroded by mysterious forces. In the depths of their hearts, the seed of evil had been planted by Mother 1.
Meng Chao thought over and over again and felt that the credibility of these words was quite high.
From the memories of his previous life, even if the Monster War was won, Dragon City still had a lot of taboo forces and dark forces.
For example, the organization hidden behind the cross eyes.
In his previous life, this organization had captured his little sister, Bai Jiacao. After an inhuman modulation, his little sister’s temperament had changed greatly, and she had become the nightmare of the entire Other World continent, the Dark Witch whom everyone feared.
Regardless of whether the organization represented by the X-shaped Eye was inextricably linked to the monster civilization or not.
At the very least, it’s an evil organization that’s willing to push the boundaries of humanity in order to get maximum power.
Meng Chao did not know how many similar organizations lurk in the shadows behind the towering, brilliant, gleaming skysc.r.a.pers on the surface of Dragon City.
In a way…
Although Dragon City’s civilization destroyed the monster civilization’s mother…
The evil will of the monster civilization was still lingering in the poor streets and alleys of Dragon City.
Countless monsters in human skin and humans who were even more evil than the monsters were giving orders and leading Dragon City to the end of the world.
It was easy to suppress “Lu Siya.”
Well, it was not that easy.
However, it was a hundred times more difficult to find all these “monsters in human skin.”
“It was not easy for me to escape from the monster mastermind. How could I return to the trap with such wounds all over my body?
“Even if the other party did not destroy my body, they would have used more sophisticated and insidious methods to control my mind and kill my will, so that I would not have the chance to make my own voice or let everyone misunderstand my voice.
“Even if the other party really agrees and acts according to my plan, allowing the war between worlds to break out from the western front, so that they will be in a more advantageous strategic position than in my previous life and enjoy the war dividend.
“This war dividend will not fall into the pockets of the ordinary citizens of Dragon City. It will not be used for the development of Dragon City and the welfare of the people. It will only fall into the pockets of very few powerhouses—of course, those powerhouses who are inextricably linked to Mother 1.
“In the end, even if Dragon City can escape destruction, it will become Monster Civilization 2.0.
“That is just another form of the apocalypse. It is definitely not the tomorrow that I want to see!
“In the end, I am still too weak. I lack the capital to compete with these guys.
“Not to mention, I am overexerting myself now.
“Even if I charge to the peak of Heaven Realm in one go, it is still far from enough to dominate the fate of Dragon City!
“Strength, I have to get even stronger!
“Totem…”
Meng Chao touched the word “totem” that he had deeply engraved a few days ago.
This was the unique cultivation system of the Turan civilization.
In his previous life’s memories, it was no less than the technology of the Dragon City civilization and the magic of the Holy Light civilization.
However, in his previous life, his strength had been too weak, and it was very difficult for him to cultivate Dragon City’s own spirit martial arts.
How could he have the opportunity to study the methods of using other civilizations’ spirit power?
Plus, the people who were locked in the depths of the dungeon with him were the lowest-cla.s.s rat people in Turan society.
It was said that the rat people had cowardly and unclean blood flowing in their bodies. Normally, they were not even qualified to touch metal.
In the glorious era, when war was about to break out, only then could these cannon fodders be barely stuffed with rusty sc.r.a.p metal.
Totems were the sacred objects of the Turan civilization. It was impossible for them to be tarnished by the rat people.
Therefore, when the rat people were chatting, they did not know much about the power of totems.
Meng Chao had eavesdropped for a few days, but he did not get much useful information.
He could only put a series of question marks after the word “totem” and slowly map it out.
On the same level as “totem,” there were also some broken and disorganized runes.
They were all ideas that Meng Chao thought were worth studying and following up on.
“Create chaos in the Blood Skull Arena and seize the totems and resources that are rich in spirit energy.
“Find out the conflicts between the five major clans, as well as the relationship between the five major clans and the small and medium-sized clans. Then, find the gaps that can be exploited.
“Like the possibility of ‘earth-friendly factions’ appearing within the Turan civilization…”
At the end, there was a line of the smallest characters, but the characters were engraved with the most effort and the deepest imprint.
There were only four words.
“a.s.sa.s.sinate the Turan King?”
Meng Chao’s fingertips caressed these four words for a long time.
He did not cross them or erase them.
Closing his eyes, his mind raced. Combining the vast amount of information from his past life and present life, he deduced the entire process of the war between worlds over and over in his mind, along with the key point of Dragon City’s defeat.
In the end, Meng Chao erased the question mark behind the four words.
After sorting out his thoughts, Meng Chao immediately took action.
In the next few hours, he made every second count to help the rat youth increase his strength.
Although it was impossible to turn a stone into gold and make Leaf become a first-cla.s.s expert in an instant…
The rat youth’s outstanding physical quality still made Meng Chao click his tongue in wonder.
“Your muscles, bones, and cell activity are simply invincible!”
Through Leaf, Meng Chao, who had studied the physiological structure and cell characteristics of the advanced orcs, confirmed once again that the high-level orcs, or all the carbon-based intelligent creatures living in the Other World, did not evolve naturally. Instead, they were the products of gene modulation.
This was because the body of the young rat obviously lacked muscle growth hormone.
For naturally evolved creatures, having too much muscle was not a good thing.
While crazily increasing explosive power and short-term combat strength, it would also increase the energy consumption to an extreme degree, which would reduce the chances of survival in the wilderness.
The winners of the battle of evolution over hundreds of millions of years were few and far between.
Only through gene modulation and the knockout of the muscle growth inhibition gene at the embryonic stage could one create Leaf, who had not received professional training and was still in the growth stage, and could even be called “skinny” among his peers. Nevertheless, he still had bulging muscles and sharp edges.
“If the Earthlings are like a multi-functional base vehicle that integrates scientific research, construction, and battle, then the high-level orcs are obviously the main battle tanks and siege cannons specially developed for war.”
Of course, among all the rat people, Leaf was a very special existence.
Through the murals in the training cave, he had unknowingly acc.u.mulated spirit energy that was as dense as a one-star superhuman in the Spirit Tattoo Realm in Dragon City.
This was an outstanding, talented, and rare martial arts genius.
Meng Chao vaguely saw thirty to fifty percent of his elegance in him.
In addition, the young man was quite fastidious and knew how to split the fried mandrake fruit equally with him.
That was the reason why Meng Chao was willing to invest in him.
“After my stimulation, your vitality magnetic field has been fully awakened. Now, your strength should be more than five times that of the past. In the next period of time, your strength will increase slightly.”
Meng Chao looked straight into the young man’s eyes and changed the topic. “However, absolute strength is not the most important thing if you want to survive in this d.a.m.n place.
“The most important thing is how to precisely deliver your absolute strength to the most fatal point of the enemy!”
