People are in fantasy, start speedrunning

Chapter 142 Senior brother, where are the hostages?

On the other side, Nalan Baiyu called together the disciples of Xuanbing Holy Land and said bluntly:

"We are both disciples of Xuanbing Holy Land. If we do the mission together, the speed will be faster. However, I will get 80% of the martial points and you will get 20%."

"By the way, you use Shanhe Appearance to transfer your martial points to me first, and I will return them to you as long as you are still alive."

Nalan Baiyu looked matter-of-fact. Although the disciples were unhappy, they didn't say anything. They all said that this method was very good and looked happy.

In fact, they understand in their hearts.

Because their strength is weak, they first place the martial arts points with Nalan Baiyu. Even if something unexpected happens, the martial arts points are still in their own hands and they will not take advantage of others.

But most human nature is selfish, understanding is understanding, and there is naturally a grudge in the heart.

Nalan Baiyu naturally wouldn't think too much. In his heart, he was a god and his combat power was much stronger than the Xuan Bing disciples present.

Bringing so many people with him is actually a burden. Wouldn't it be a big loss if he didn't gather his military points?

When the people of Xuanbing Holy Land saw this scene, the senior officials understood it very well.

But Holy Lord Xuan Bing sighed and thought to himself, "In this way of doing things, Zhou Xuan is indeed better than Bai Yu."

Especially when comparing the two, no one is stupid. The scale in the hearts of the Holy Land disciples who are watching the martial arts selection now may be tilted towards Zhou Xuan.

Of course, it's just a little psychological change and it doesn't hurt.

After all, in this world, strength still dominates.

Seeing this, Holy Master Ziyang couldn't help but feel greatly relieved. No matter what Zhou Xuan thought in his heart, after all, no one is perfect at heart. As long as his actions on the surface are shown, it will be praised by everyone, which shows that he is brilliant.

At this time, Zhou Xuan had already led the disciples from Ziyang Holy Land to the city gate.

The city they came to was called Xingwu City, which was an important northern town of the Yan Dynasty.

Without him, the entire Xingwu City is just the center of a huge formation. If the Wu Dynasty's monk army cannot attack the city, there is no way they can cross the northern line.

This is also the reason why the army of the Wu Dynasty is stationed one hundred thousand miles away.

The monks are free, and a city cannot stop them, but there is a large formation blocking them. If they don't break the formation and jump across Xingwu City, they will naturally fall into the large formation and die.

Therefore, what the monks call siege is essentially to break the formation.

In fact, the so-called dynasty is similar to a sect, but its territory may be much larger than that of a sect.

Take the Shenyin Sect and the Wanjian Sect as an example. If the two sects fight, the Shenyin Sect will definitely not cross the Ten Peaks and enter the Wanjian Sect.

Because the ten swords of the entire Wanjian Sect are the eyes of the formation, located on the outermost periphery, protecting all the monks inside.

If the Shenyin Sect didn't break the formation and just casually entered from the top ten sword peaks, it would be courting death.

The same is true for the Yan Dynasty.

Zhou Xuan knew that the battle between the two armies had nothing to do with them, the foundation-building monks participating in the martial arts election.

After all, the people who are in charge of Xingwu City are all in the God Transformation Realm, and the generals who are camping in the Wu Dynasty are probably also in the God Transformation Realm.

Their mission was actually very simple. Zhou Xuan picked it up and glanced at it. It was a very classic mission, a mission that would be encountered in FPS, martial arts, fantasy, fantasy and other games.

Rescue the hostages.

Naturally, he was not going to the enemy camp to rescue hostages, nor was he looking for death.

Although Xingwu City stands here, the monks can't match the speed of ordinary people, so generally speaking, if a war breaks out among the monks, the battle line will be very long.

In this long front, both sides will send countless teams to harass.

The level of strength of these teams varies from high to low.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuandao said, "Let's do it in batches. I have a mission to go to Lake Bipa to rescue the hostages. Does any of you have a similar mission, or the mission location is in Lake Bipa."

"Senior Brother Zhou, I have a mission in Pipa Lake. I am to attack and kill a group of foundation-building monks."

"Senior brother, I also have one, and I also attack and kill monks."

The missions of the nearly ten Holy Land disciples are relatively similar, either to attack the monks or to rescue the hostages.

As for burning food and grass, harassing the camp, etc., there is no such thing.

As a monk, what food and grass do you need?

Although the Foundation Establishment realm has not reached the point of being able to live without food forever, it is more than enough to go without food for a few months. If you are hungry, you can just take an Bigu Pill and you can go without food for several months.

As for harassing the camp and causing them to blow up the camp, it is even more nonsense.

When General Huashen sets up camp, there are too many people leading the camp, and they must be coordinated so that everything is well organized.

As for the teams setting up camp outside, they would set up a formation with formation plates. One person would sit at the center of the formation, and the others would not need to sleep. They would all be distributed around to explore. If enemies came, they would contact each other and then enter the formation to catch turtles in a urn.

If the enemy is too strong, just use the wind and force to escape. You don't need to blow up the camp, they can just use the escape method to run away.

So the essence of monk war is very simple.

The main task is to break the formation, and the second is to attack and kill. If the attack and kill fails, there is a high probability that they will become hostages.

The reason why the attacker is not killed but captured alive is mainly to give the enemy a kind of psychological oppression.

As long as you are a little confused because of these hostages, the goal will be achieved. Anyway, monks don’t need to eat, so they won’t lose anything.

If you can reverse it, it will be a big profit.

The tasks issued to them by Xingwu City were naturally very direct tasks.

Zhou Xuan said bluntly to the younger brothers whose mission was not at Lake Bipa, "Since your mission is not at Lake Bipa, there is no need to follow us. Just wait for us in Xingwu City."

"Here, senior brother, let's go with you. It's good to keep an eye on each other."

"It's not like we've been to every house. If there's anyone to take care of, wait for us in Xingwu City. We'll be back soon."

The few remaining Holy Land disciples heard this and saw Zhou Xuan was determined, so they couldn't say anything and could only obey the order.

Outside the martial arts competition, the Ziyang Holy Land disciples who were watching this scene with streamers were puzzled.

"Why doesn't Senior Brother Zhou let everyone go together? Or let them choose whether to go or not."

"Alas, you are still young and don't understand Senior Brother Zhou's thoughts."

"Senior Brother Zhou is right not to let these brothers choose, because if we give everyone a choice, everyone will definitely choose to go together."

"Why?"

"If someone chooses to go, will you go or not? If you choose to go, some people who don't want to go will be coerced when they see this, and they will definitely complain in their hearts."

"Yes, this is the complexity of human nature. Senior Brother Zhou's actions are enough to show his understanding."

When Zhou Xuan left Xingwu City and was about to go to Pipa Lake, he heard a voice from behind, "Senior Brother Zhou."

Everyone looked back and saw the Holy Land disciple who had just been left behind by Zhou Xuan.

"you?"

Some people are confused.

But I saw a person at the front, taking a step forward and bowing deeply to Zhou Xuan:

"Senior Brother Zhou is reasonable, but although we have no mission to go to Lake Bipa, we are all disciples of the Purple Sun Holy Land."

"As Senior Brother said, if we are in trouble, we can always look for Senior Brother. We also know that Senior Brother is very powerful, but you can ask us to do some small things."

"After entering the martial arts competition, there are only about twenty of us in Xingwu City. We are all disciples of the Purple Sun Holy Land, so naturally we have to work together to help each other, so we thought about it and decided to follow our senior brother." "Okay." Zhou Xuanye Instead of persuading, he nodded in agreement, "You must have already made up your mind, so I will explain in advance that if you have any ideas before the mission, you can bring them up, but you must fully obey my orders. After I give the order, even if you have any objections in your heart, No questioning is allowed."

"Of course, we will obey our senior brother's orders."

Most of those present had heaven-level qualifications, and they were about the same age as Zhou Xuan, but there were also some who were older and had completed the Foundation Establishment.

However, the monks were ranked according to their strength. Although Zhou Xuan was young, he was strong. They called him senior, which was a recognition of Zhou Xuan's strength.

Therefore, during the mission, the weak will naturally listen to the orders of the strong.

Even if you are smarter than a stronger person, you cannot disobey.

Zhou Xuan nodded without saying much, gesturing for everyone to follow.

Most place names are based on their images, and the same is true for Lake Biwa.

Looking down from the sky, two mountains stand horizontally across the sky and the earth. The waves of water flow from the narrow channel between the two mountains into the huge oval lake.

This is where the name Lake Biwa comes from.

In Lake Biwa, there are several small islands.

The goal of Zhou Xuan and others is on the island in the center of Lake Bipa.

Before they arrived at their destination, someone said to Zhou Xuan, "Senior Brother Zhou, according to the mission instructions, there are probably dozens of people who have completed the Foundation Establishment on the central island of Lake Pipa. Maybe there are also Dragon Transformation Realm who have established the Heavenly Dao Foundation. Junior Brother I'm good at hiding, why don't you let me go and investigate first?"

The people present did not use their spiritual consciousness to sweep past. After all, one sweep would alert the enemy. Therefore, the best way is to send someone over to investigate.

Although all tasks have information provided by Xingwu City scouts.

But the information ranged from detailed to rough, and even included speculations from scouts, with the main one being vague.

Generally speaking, those who accept the task will do some research again to avoid being misled by vague information.

I thought Zhou Xuan would agree, but the disciple saw his senior brother shaking his head and said, "You guys are too cautious in doing things. Since this emperor has mercy on us and can withdraw at any time when encountering a life-or-death crisis, then what are you afraid of?"

With that said, Zhou Xuan and Feng Xu Yufeng rushed straight up. His huge spiritual consciousness, which was very different from other foundations, swept towards the central island, and all the information was instantly clear to his mind.

"No wonder we chose Lake Bipa. It turned out that the lake was used as a guide to set up the formation. Divine consciousness cannot penetrate at all. In this case..."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xuan grinned, showing his sharp white teeth, "Everyone, follow me and kill!"

The Ziyang Holy Land disciples who had just followed Zhou Xuan to the high altitude were dumbfounded when they saw Zhou Xuan rushing directly and recklessly towards the central island.

Seeing this, some people gritted their teeth and said, "What are you guys doing standing still? Senior Brother Zhou is leading the way, are you afraid?"

"You're so scared, I'll kill you with my senior brother!"

"rush!"

Watching Senior Brother Zhou use Thunder Escape, for a moment, they could only see a vague shadow left by Senior Brother Zhou on the spot.

The shadow dissipated in the next moment, and when I looked again, I saw that Senior Brother Zhou had arrived in front of the central island.

This shocked them, and the speed was too terrifying.

However, they still don't know that this is still the speed under Zhou Xuan's restraint.

Before arriving at the central island, someone was already looking at Zhou Xuan from the air. Seeing that he was a foundation-building consummate, they couldn't help but frown, "A spy from Xingwu City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Xuan rushing directly into the formation. He couldn't help but be startled, and then smiled ferociously, "You are really asking for your own death!"

However, although he was in the Dragon Transformation realm, he was cautious and did not intend to kill Zhou Xuan with his own hands, but planned to kill him with a formation.

Just when this thought arose, his vision jumped high, and then he found that his vision was looking down, getting closer and closer to the ground.

When his head fell to the ground, he happened to look up and saw a particularly familiar body in the sky, but with no head, falling downwards. Doubts flashed in his eyes, and then he fell into endless darkness.

"It seems that the formation gives you too much sense of security."

Zhou Xuan knew that as long as the formation was set up and others entered the formation, they would feel contempt in their hearts. Even if they did not despise it, they would feel relaxed.

When you feel relaxed, you slack off.

If you slack off, you will easily die.

For him, formations are as if they don't exist. After all, his magical power has demonstrated the restraint of formations in the Great Dao Secret Realm.

Zhou Xuan could actually break the formation outside, but he didn't do that. Instead, he went directly into the formation.

Although he is a reckless man, he can be reckless at times.

The Dragon Transformation Realm master who controlled the array suddenly died suddenly. Although the array was operating naturally, there was a huge difference between someone controlling it and someone not controlling it.

Of course, it's the same for Zhou Xuan.

The main reason is that there is a group of burdens behind him, but these burdens have the function of being burdens, that is, they make his image higher in the hearts of the disciples of Ziyang Holy Land.

After all, after the Tongtian election, he has to build the first floor. Recruiting talents will be a troublesome task by then. It is better to establish an image now and wait for the talents to come to vote for him.

Things like personality are still very useful.

For example, just now, someone planned to take the initiative to explore the central island of Lake Biwa. This would actually put his own life in danger. Although in the face of crisis, he could silently give up and withdraw from the martial arts competition.

But what if it gets raided? When the time comes, there is no time to even quit, and he will die immediately.

He didn't believe that these people didn't understand, but the other party still did it.

Why?

Zhou Xuan knew that it was not just his own people who set it up.

Personality charm is a mysterious thing, but it can be reflected at critical moments.

When twenty disciples from the Purple Sun Holy Land arrived at the Central Island, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"This...Senior Brother Zhou has killed him all by himself?"

"horrible…"

"There is no difference between me waiting and being a burden."

Just when everyone felt frustrated, they saw Senior Brother Zhou waving. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and heard Senior Brother say, "There are still some people left for you."

Obviously, Senior Brother Zhou wanted them to feel involved and left this purposely.

The people present looked at each other, shocked and even dumbfounded.

The nervous and urgent feeling in my heart disappeared completely.

Looking at the dozen or so shivering monks in the late stage of foundation building, they didn't mind if they were already in the foundation building stage. They stepped forward directly and specially assigned them to one person each.

There were still a few people who didn't get the heads because they were slow and were the last ones to reach the island.

As punishment, I can only watch everyone take heads.

At this time, a disciple from Ziyang Holy Land suddenly woke up. He looked around, his consciousness swept around, and he couldn't help but be confused, "Brother, aren't the hostages on this island?"
