Xuanwu star.
Nameless swamp, deep underground.
In the secret room, Cheng Huo sat cross-legged, placed a large cyan cauldron in front of him, and poured a little 'power of pain' into it.
This large green cauldron is called the 'Shin Dao Cauldron', and it is a treasure used for communication and information exchange between members of the organization 'Shadow Pavilion'.
The members of the Shadow Pavilion use the 'power of emotion', that is, the monk's own cultivation, as currency.
——After avoiding the catastrophe in the west through the 'Planet Teleportation Array', Chengsheng not only saved his life, but also deeply felt the power of the indescribable creatures.
This made him feel uneasy, so he thought of using the 'Shin Dao Cauldron' to get more useful information from the members of the Shadow Pavilion.
In the secret room.
Not long after Cheng Sheng injected the 'power of pain' into the cauldron, he saw a black shadow appear on the cauldron.
"How are you doing, fellow Taoist? How is your practice of the 'Creating Something out of Nothing' technique going?" As soon as the black shadow appeared, he rushed to Chenghuo and asked impatiently.
"It's going well." Chengshuo responded: "Didn't I tell you before that a catastrophe is coming here? Then a few days ago, some people around me and I relied on the 'technique of making something out of nothing' I built a teleportation array and teleported to other places for refuge, and I barely managed to save my life."
"other places?"
After listening to what Chenghuo said, Shadow suddenly interjected: "After hearing what fellow Taoist said, I would like to confirm: what fellow Taoist just said about 'teleporting to other places for refuge', the 'other places' in this refers to a certain place." A continent, or does it mean it was teleported to another planet?"
"Of course it refers to a certain continent." Cheng Sheng said truthfully: "As far as I know, if you want to teleport to another planet, you need to use the 'Galaxy Teleportation Array' or the 'Star Teleportation Array', right?"
"And among the monks I know, the strongest ones are only deep. They are only at the late stage of Nascent Soul, so naturally they are not capable of setting up a 'star field' or a 'galaxy teleportation array'."
"Understood." Shadow said following the trend: "Then, if you just escape to another continent, or another area, instead of escaping from this planet, then it is no surprise that you will encounter indescribable creatures again in the future. .”
Chengshuo looked puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"
Shadow said: "You may not be clear yet: the activity range of nameless creatures, or their territory, is not divided into a certain area or a certain continent. It is divided into planets. .”
"So, although you are safe now, it is only temporary. As long as you are still on this planet, you will eventually be threatened by unspeakable creatures again."
I can't figure it out.
He frowned and said: "But the question is, don't nameless creatures feed on humans? Then why do they still force us humans like this? Aren't they afraid of depleting the lake to fish?"
"Ha," the shadow sneered: "In years of famine, or when war breaks out, won't the government collect taxes and take away the grain that the people use to sow? Don't the government understand the principle of using all the water to catch fish?"
"This" is beyond words.
The shadow added: "If I'm not wrong, the nameless creatures on your planet are currently in a fight!"
"It's true!" Chenghuo nodded: "Those two indescribable creatures that are fighting endlessly, one of them is called 'Buddha', and the other is called 'Wu Si'. They have been competing for each other's territory. and population resources.”
"Then there is nothing wrong!" Shadow followed: "The reason why your area was invaded by nameless creatures is, to put it bluntly, because those two nameless creatures fought. And when gods fight, mortals suffer, so You who are on the battlefield of unspeakable creatures have also been affected."
"Not only that."
He continued: "This kind of impact is not limited to your piece of territory. Whether it is the 'Woo' that you just said took over that piece of territory, or the 'Buddha' won that battle, they will all Non-stop, continue to fight for the next area on your planet."
"They will keep fighting like this until one of them completely occupies all areas on the planet."
"And in this process, every inch of land and every corner of the entire planet will be contaminated by unspeakable creatures."
"Under pollution, no human being living on the planet will be spared!"
this.
After hearing what the shadow said, Chengshuo realized the seriousness of the current situation.
He asked: "I dare to ask senior, what can we humans do to stop the fight between unspeakable creatures?"
"Or, what should we do to avoid being affected by their fight?"
"Well." After talking about this, Shadow suddenly laughed "hehehehe".
Cheng Sheng understood its meaning and immediately injected a little 'power of pain' into the cauldron.
However, this little bit of 'power of pain' cannot satisfy the shadow.
He complained: "Fellow Taoist, what you have given me is too little. I used to think that your strength was low, so I gave you less 'Pain Power'. The purpose was to allow you to grow faster. This way I It will be convenient for us to cooperate in the future.”
"And now you have grown up and become a Yuanying Stage monk. Although I don't ask you to reciprocate, you can't always give so little, right?"
Seeing the black shadow sitting on the ground and raising the price, Chengshuo showed hesitation and sat cross-legged in the secret room in silence.
"Why, fellow Taoist, do you think I'm asking for an exorbitant price?" Seeing that Cheng Huo didn't say anything, Shadow said again: "As for the price, you can actually rest assured, because our Shadow Pavilion's value measurement of the 'Power of Pain' is There is a scale.”
"If you don't believe it, you can focus on the 'Shen Dao Cauldron', and you will naturally understand everything by then."
The Shinto cauldron mentioned by the shadow is the 'blue cauldron' in front of Chengshuo.
In order to avoid traps in what the shadow said, Chengshuo first cut off the connection with the shadow.
Then, he carefully turned part of his attention to the 'Shen Dao Cauldron'.
Just like when reading jade slips, a large amount of memories will be forced into the mind of the reader.
When Cheng Huo concentrated on the 'Shen Dao Cauldron', countless consciousnesses also penetrated into Cheng Huo's mind at this moment.
These consciousnesses are all related to the organization "Shadow Pavilion".
And most of them are about the various rules of transactions between members of the Shadow Pavilion.
After Chengshuo briefly sorted out these rules in his mind, he contacted the black shadow again through the 'Shen Dao Cauldron'.
At the same time, he did not forget to inject a certain amount of 'painful power' into the cauldron as the cost of this consultation.
"Hey,"
Regarding the sudden disconnection of Chengshuo, the black shadow was not annoyed at all. He smiled and said: "You are quite cautious. You know that operations involving the spiritual level need to cut off the connection with me first before studying the cauldron."
The black shadow asked Chengshuo: "You are so cautious. Could it be that your body has been taken away by others before?"
Upon hearing this, Chengshuo immediately thought of his close friend Li Aotian: "I have never been kidnapped, but I have a friend who once..."
"I understand, I understand, you have a friend, I understand." Shadow is very good at making things happen.
As soon as Cheng Sheng mentioned the word 'friend', he immediately rushed to say: "Since it is your friend's experience, I will not continue to ask questions."
"Then let's get down to business." The shadow turned to the previous topic: "I just said that the battles between nameless creatures will affect the entire planet, so if you want to avoid the impact of their battles, as far as I know There are two ways to know.”
"What two methods?" Chenghuo asked hurriedly.
Shadow said: "The first method is to use means such as the 'Star Teleportation Array' to escape from the planet you are on."
"In this way, you are no longer on that planet, and naturally you will no longer be affected by the war between unspeakable creatures."
"However, the star field teleportation array is extremely difficult to deploy." Shadow added: "My fellow Taoist had only deployed the 'planetary teleportation array' before, and he had to use magical powers such as 'making something out of nothing'. Then he must not be able to arrange it and consume it." A larger 'Star Teleportation Array'."
Chengshuo said helplessly: "I really can't arrange this."
Shadow said: "Then there is only the second option left: checks and balances!"
"Checks and balances?" Chengshuo asked thoughtfully, "What kind of checks and balances?"
The shadow said: "On your planet, aren't there two indescribable creatures, 'Buddha' and 'Wu Si', fighting?"
"And an indescribable creature with two characters as its name is far stronger than an indescribable creature with one character."
"So if my guess is correct, between these two indescribable creatures, 'Woo' must have the upper hand."
"It's true!" Chengshuo echoed in time.
The shadow continued: "However, 'Wu Si' cannot gain the upper hand in this battle. In other words, no nameless creature can gain the upper hand in this battle!"
"I understand!" Cheng Huoruo said with some enlightenment: "The check and balance that senior just mentioned is to make those two fight incompetently, without distinguishing between superior and inferior."
"Only by allowing the two indescribable creatures to remain in a stalemate without knowing the outcome, can we humans survive in the gap between the two!"
"Correct answer!" There was a hint of appreciation in Shadow's tone.
Chengshuo added: "But the question is, how can we keep the battle between 'Buddha' and 'Wu Si' in a stalemate?"
"Let me ask you." Shadow immediately asked: "When your friend fights with others and can't beat him, what do you do?"
Cheng Sheng said without hesitation: "Of course I'm going to help."
The shadow said matter-of-factly: "That's the end of it! 'Buddha' can't defeat 'Wu Si', because it's just an indescribable creature with one word."
"But if you call another nameless creature to join this war, and it becomes two against one, won't the two sides be able to continue the stalemate?"
"This seems to be true!" After being prompted by the shadow, Cheng Sheng subconsciously thought of the third indescribable creature on Xuanwu Star, 'Shou'.
'Shou' appeared on Xuanwu Planet 20,000 years ago.
At the same time, this is the only nameless creature that has ever been heard of on Xuanwu Planet.
"As for the method of introducing the third unnameable creature into the battlefield?"
On the divine cauldron.
The black shadow finally rushed to life and said: "There are various forms of pollution by unspeakable creatures, so how to introduce a third party into the battlefield between 'Wu Si' and 'Buddha' requires you to adapt to the situation and use it according to the actual situation."
"Furthermore, if you really can't find the third indescribable one, you can only improve your strength as soon as possible and find a way to escape from this planet as soon as possible."
"If you can't do these two things, then you can only wait to die."
"All in all, you must remember one thing: Never think about confronting an indescribable creature head-on!"
"After all, don't say that our power is less than one in a million. Whether we can see them or find them is a question!"
"Understood!" Chengshuo nodded and said, "Don't confront the indescribable creatures head-on, and then find a way to create a check and balance between them."
"If it doesn't work, then improve your strength and escape from this planet as soon as possible."
"Well, it's good to understand." After talking to this point, the black shadow didn't want to talk nonsense anymore: "That's all I've said. Do you have any other questions to ask, fellow Taoist?"
"No more." Chengshuo didn't want to continue to consume the 'power of pain' in his body.
If you compare 'Pain Power' to mana in the game.
Then what has just entered the cauldron is the upper limit of mana value. If the upper limit is lowered, it is equivalent to a loss of strength.
It will take at least half a month to a month to fully recover from these losses.
"Since I have no questions to ask, I'll take my leave now."
On the divine cauldron.
Seeing that it could no longer extract oil and water from the living place, the black shadow immediately disappeared from the cauldron.
"well,"
In the secret room.
Seeing the black shadow leave, Chenghuo sighed, put away the cauldron, and walked out of the underground secret room with a look of helplessness.
…
time flies.
Out of caution, after getting Black Shadow's advice, Chengshuo did not rush to leave the swamp, but stayed on the swamp for nearly half a month.
During this period, there were no unusual releases on the swamp.
Except for the occasional cases of people suffering from mental disorders and collapse of will due to staying away from the 'Fire of Reason', and the rare cases of people being poisoned or dying due to poisonous insects and diseases, there was almost no attrition in the entire new settlement.
So after confirming that there was no great danger, Chengshuo traveled from west to east with Lei Lei, Zhong Ran, Ni Li and other monks.
Li Zhuo and Yun Rusong, two monks in the deep submergence stage, chose to stay in the settlement because they could not let go of the people of Liang State.
The monks in the deep dive stage and the monks in the blood elixir stage have extremely fast legs.
In just three days, Cheng Huo traveled eastwards for nearly thousands of miles, and saw a human settlement on the night of the third day.
It is different from the cities of Daliang Kingdom.
This human settlement is extremely small, and its area is not even as large as a village in Liang State, but it is surrounded by high walls more than ten meters high.
There are countless talismans affixed to the surface of the wall, as if to prevent certain beings from crossing the high wall.
in the air.
Zhong Ran looked at the high wall and asked with confusion: "Are the high walls outside the settlement and those talismans to prevent some kind of monster from invading?"
"Probably not."
Nili has sharp eyes.
He pointed to the monks in the Embryo Stage and the God Worship Stage who were patrolling on the high wall, and said: "Have you noticed that when these monks patrol, their eyes are always staring at the interior of the settlement? This means that they are in Prevent certain people or things from escaping from the settlement."
Chengshuo followed: "And it doesn't seem like we are guarding against mortals. After all, just to prevent mortals from escaping, it is more than enough to build a wall more than ten meters high, and there is no need to put so many talismans on the wall. "
After saying that, Chengshuo quietly observed in the air for a long time.
After confirming that in the settlement below, only the embryo-building and god-worshipping monks were walking back and forth, he flew directly towards the high wall of the settlement.
When a monk breaks through to the embryonic stage, he can fly with weapons.
But when you reach the blood elixir stage, you can overcome the void.
At this moment, he was alive without the help of any artifacts and could directly float in mid-air. When he saw the monks in the embryo-building and worshiping stages on the high wall, he naturally subconsciously recognized him as a monk in the blood elixir stage.
So all the monks knelt down and worshiped Chenghuo, shouting "Senior".
"No need to be polite."
Cheng Huo raised his hand to help the monks to get up.
He said expressionlessly: "I would like to ask you, where is this place, what is the name of this settlement, and the high walls surrounding the settlement."
"What are these high walls used for defense against?"
