Listening to her laughing words, Xu Yuan didn't think that Li Qingyan had fallen in love with him.
What the princess said about "succumbing to love" was most likely just telling him that she, Li Qingyan, was already prepared to die here.
For a woman who possesses almost all the qualities of an excellent general to say this can only mean that she has an extremely pessimistic attitude towards his next actions.
But even so, the princess did not deprive him of his status as "coach"
Trust mixed with doubt.
Xu Yuan sighed silently in his heart, feeling a little helpless.
"Cangyuan" is just a game in the final analysis, and in reality there are too many details that games cannot cover.
Just like the ancient underground city with people in front of me, and Bai Muxi who shouldn't be here.
Who could have known in advance that after thousands of years, there would still be humans surviving in the White Walkers' lair?
Who could have known in advance that Si Ming, the leg spirit, had run away from this underground palace?
In addition, the butterfly effect will also bring uncontrolled variables to this dead underground palace.
Now that he is in a desperate situation, all he can do is to adapt to the available information as much as possible, use certain information to guide the situation, and try to control the development of the situation in his own hands.
There were no words all the way,
As the three of them continued to fly through the dilapidated ancient city, the streets below gradually began to change.
Residential buildings on the outskirts of the ancient city changed from wooden to stone.
Using the soul to probe into it, one can sense the breath of some mortals from time to time, but these people are huddled in the basement of the house with uneasy expressions, and no one goes out.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Bai Muxi, who was flying beside the two of them.
Flying in the wind, the gauze dress of the female commander was blown tightly to her graceful figure.
Shaking and shaking.
Before Xu Yuan could stare for too long, Bai Muxi's crisp voice came over:
"There was a huge earthquake in the Blood Demon Cave before. It should be that something happened within the White Walkers. They can easily smell the breath of mortals. I ordered the mortals in the outer city to evacuate. Now that the warning has not been lifted, everyone is... Not allowed to go out.”
That punch from the Barbarian King?
Xu Yuan understood what he said, but immediately glanced in the direction he came from.
I don’t know what’s going on with the big-muscled tyrant of the alien race, the Barbarian King.
Back in "Cangyuan", the Barbarian King was a strong saint, and it was easy to break through this dungeon. But now that he has not reached his full body, and has suffered serious injuries, he should be able to survive the siege of those high-level white ghosts. A pot.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan gathered his thoughts and asked aloud:
"Si Ming, I see that most of the stone houses below are occupied by single households. Why are there no men and women living together?"
"Men and women living together?"
Bai Muxi frowned and said in a clear and melodious voice, "Your Excellency, you mean private intercourse between mortals?"
Saying,
Bai Muxi curled her lips, looked down, and said matter-of-factly:
"The inner city will send blood-armored guards to investigate every day. If they are detected, they will be severely punished. If they are found twice, they will be expelled from the city. Ordinary mortals dare not disobey the law."
"."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan was silent.
Suppress human nature and strictly control the population.
And at this time,
Li Qingyan said as if sighing:
"The probability of a child born from a cult to cultivator to become a cultivator is much higher than that of a mortal. In an environment like a cave dungeon, the value of a mortal is almost equal to zero. To continue the ethnic group and control the fertility of mortals It is the best and most optimal choice. Over time, this kind of thinking should have formed common sense in this cave dungeon."
Xu Yuan glanced at her and chuckled:
"So, wouldn't the high-level cultivators here become stallions?"
Li Qingyan shook his head and said softly:
"The higher the level of cultivators, the lower the probability of giving birth to an heir. In order to maintain the population, the "shrine" here should organize "production" at specific times."
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched.
impart, right?
After a moment's pause,
Li Qingyan's serious voice suddenly disappeared, and a joke with a hint of laughter came into his ears:
"If Changtian you were born in this cave city, according to your character, you should have been expelled from the city long ago, right?"
Xu Yuan looked back and glared at the princess:
"You know shit."
"I really don't understand."
Li Qingyan smiled and nodded, squinting his beautiful eyes: "Is Chang Tianqi very understanding?"
Xu Yuan looked at each other without giving in, smiled and said:
"You will understand after we get married."
"oh?"
Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows, curved his phoenix eyes, raised his jade hand to compare length in front of Xu Yuan, and then chuckled softly:
"Ha~"
"."
Xu Yuan felt that he had been insulted, took a deep breath, and shook his head calmly:
"I've seen people who claimed to have great skills beforehand. I hope Qingyan you won't be like her."
Li Qingyan licked his red lips, the look in his phoenix eyes was a bit dangerous:
"for example?"
"sky"
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly, Xu Yuan frowned and was stunned.
Why did he suddenly talk about the washboard saint?
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan realized a possibility, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Hiss. No way?
Tian Yan's figure appeared in his mind, and he was thinking deeply, but no relevant memories emerged.
Li Qingyan also frowned:
"sky?"
Xu Yuan gathered his thoughts, coughed slightly, and shook his head:
"nothing."
If you can't remember, then just pretend nothing happened.
"Haha."
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan and chuckled, but did not continue to study further:
"Forget it if you don't tell me, but if you want to take a concubine, Changtian, remember to tell me."
"You will agree if I tell you?"
"No, but it will be convenient for me to tie you Changtian into the military camp in advance."
"."
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, ignored the woman, and looked into the depths of the ancient city.
"."
Bai Muxi knew that the two people were communicating, but she couldn't eavesdrop without alerting the glamorous woman.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak any more, she opened her mouth and said:
"You two, we are about to enter the inner city."
"Um."
Xu Yuan replied: "I saw it."
Even with his own eyesight, he could vaguely see a majestic city wall nearly twenty feet high not far ahead, standing quietly in the darkness.
Bai Muxi thought for a moment and said in a clear voice:
"What I mean is that before entering the city, I will prepare two clothes for you two. I hope that you will wear this blood armor."
"."
Xu Yuan picked it up and glanced at Li Qingyan's long, tall and perfect curves wrapped under the black death fungus armor.
After a moment of silence, he casually took out a black robe from the Sumeru Ring and threw it to her:
"Qingyan, put it on."
"."
Li Qingyan took it and stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths with a half-smile:
"Since Changtian wants to watch it alone, I will satisfy you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yuan hummed, and her voluptuous curves were covered by the bloated black robe.
Bai Muxi on the side looked at the sudden appearance of the black robe, her eyes narrowed, and she said with surprise:
"Is this the Sumeru Precepts recorded in the document?"
"Um."
Xu Yuan responded softly, put one on himself, and then asked in a low voice:
"Si Ming, do you know this kind of armor underground?"
Under the tulle, Bai Muxi smiled softly:
"Among the seven cities, once someone reaches the fourth level, they can enter the Blood Demon Cave under the leadership of the priest to collect such a share of blood armor."
"Blood Armor? Are they the "Blood Armor Guards" mentioned by the soldiers on your outer city wall?"
Xu Yuan did not ask how the other party found out.
For thousands of years, the humans in this cave dungeon must have explored the "Blood Demon Cave" where the strange ghosts are entrenched countless times. It is not surprising to find that the black death carpet can form armor.
Bai Muxi nodded, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, and whispered:
"Yeah, but that's all in the past. I banned the armor after the death of the sacrifice. If outsiders see it, it may cause unnecessary trouble for people in the inner city."
Xu Yuan chuckled:
"Because this armor swallows people's lives?"
"Um."
Bai Muxi's eyes were slightly surprised, and she reminded Xu Yuan: "Your Excellency, although this armor will make the wearer stronger, even a fourth-level expert will have his lifespan shortened rapidly once he wears this armor."
"."
Li Qingyan frowned slightly at this time and said:
"Long sky."
Xu Yuan heard the worry in her words and smiled directly at Bai Muxi:
"Xie Siming reminded me that the reason why the armor swallowed up life this time is because the source energy of the fourth-grade body-melting realm is not enough to supply the needs of the armor. I have source crystals and there is insufficient source energy."
If you don’t spend money, you have to spend life if you want power.
"Source Crystal?"
Bai Muxi's eyes lit up for a moment: "But that crystal stone that can supply energy?"
Xu Yuan grinned when he saw this and asked with interest:
"What, Si Ming, you really want it?"
When Bai Muxi saw the smile on the corner of the other party's lips, her eyes dimmed instantly and she closed her large sleeves:
"I hope you don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of robbing you."
"I know."
Xu Yuan said nonchalantly: "I mean do you want to make a deal with me?"
"Deal?" Bai Muxi looked confused.
Xu Yuan whispered:
"How about exchanging the "blood armor" you have accumulated over thousands of years for my source crystal?"
Stripping off the black death carpet on a large scale in a short period of time will attract the attention of the monster deep in the Blood Demon Cave, but based on what Bai Muxi just said, there should be a lot of black death carpet in the city.
At least it should be enough to craft "blue equipment".
Although he can't use it, he can give it to Li Qingyan.
This princess's military formation is based on close combat, which is very suitable for this kind of armor.
Bai Muxi agreed without hesitation:
“Of course you can, it’s just the price.”
Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"There's no rush, we'll talk slowly when we get to the shrine."
Under the leadership of "Si Ming" Bai Muxi, the highest power controller in the city, the three of them entered the "divine palace" in the inner city unimpeded.
Walking among the silent stone palaces, the sound of quiet footsteps could be heard far away in the darkness.
suddenly,
"Both."
A crisp voice suddenly sounded: "I, may I ask you some questions?"
Bai Muxi, who was walking in front, had her face hidden under the gauze, and stared at the two of them with a pair of bright eyes, but hesitated to speak.
Li Qingyan said nothing about this issue, and Xu Yuan responded:
"What?"
Bai Muxi asked hesitantly:
"Are there any White Walkers above the ground?"
Xu Yuan’s voice was gentle:
"The alien ghosts have been wiped out by our human race thousands of years ago, and now humanity is flourishing on the ground."
When Bai Muxi heard this, a look of excitement appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her voice sped up a bit unconsciously:
"Are those two people from the Medicine God Palace?"
Medicine God Palace.
Hearing this unfamiliar sect name, Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan subconsciously.
Xu Yuan heard Old Man Luo talk about this sect, because this sect played a decisive role in the catastrophe of the White Walkers thousands of years ago.
After a moment of pause, Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"no."
Bai Muxi's beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, with a hint of smile:
"That should be someone from Jiantian Pavilion, right?"
"No."
"That's Qian Feng."
"Si Ming."
Xu Yuan interrupted and smiled: "She and I are not from the sect, but from the dynasty."
Hearing this, Bai Muxi's eyes became a little strange, and she looked at Li Qingyan aside:
"Those mortal dynasties? But this person's cultivation level"
Xu Yuan explained with a smile:
"Ten thousand years have passed since the outside world, and the sects you mentioned, Si Ming, have all become useless except for the Jiantian Pavilion."
"."
The words fell,
Bai Muxi's exposed long white legs subconsciously paused, and she looked back at Xu Yuan blankly, without saying a word for a moment.
Xu Yuan was slightly dumbfounded.
I don’t know about Qin and Han, and I don’t care about Wei and Jin.
This ancient cave city is really an alternative "peach blossom garden".
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan explained softly:
"Now the land is dominated by dynasties, and the world of sects ended four thousand years ago. The Dayan Dynasty has monopolized the world's fourteen continents for more than 1,300 years, and all the sects in the territory have surrendered to the Dayan Royal Family. "
"."
These words seemed to touch Bai Muxi's three views, which were blocked by the environment.
After a long silence, she whispered to herself:
"The imperial dynasty is under heaven? Aren't the dynasties all puppets of the sect? How can they defeat the sect?"
"Ten thousand years can change a lot of things."
Xu Yuan interrupted Bai Muxi's muttering, stared at her, then smiled and said: "Okay, although this information is not very important, Siming, don't you think it's a bit impolite for you to ask us questions one-sidedly like this? What?"
Bai Muxi was silent for a while and asked:
"I wonder what you want me to do for you?"
Xu Yuan smiled and proposed a classic exchange condition:
"Of course it's a deal. How about you asking a question and me asking another? You don't have to answer, but you can't hide it."
Hearing this suggestion, Bai Muxi seemed to be relieved and said in a clear voice:
"That's very good."
Xu Yuan raised a finger and asked bluntly:
"First, what is the population of your ancient city, how many cultivators are there, and what are the cultivation levels of the cultivators?"
"."
When Li Qingyan heard this question, he immediately glanced back at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan's eyes signaled her to shut up.
Of course he knew the question was offensive;
It is almost the same as asking a woman directly face to face the color of her underwear.
But it doesn't matter,
As long as this woman is not stupid, she will definitely answer.
Because they come from the ground, from the earth world where humanity flourishes.
Based on this alone, Bai Muxi, a woman, could not refuse them.
Bai Muxi's pale skin stood out against the inky darkness, and the three of them fell into silence for a moment.
But soon, Bai Muxi made a decision and whispered:
"This should be considered three questions."
Xu Yuan smiled when he heard this, thought for a while, and whispered:
"Ha, if that's the case, then, Sir, you will only answer two questions about the cultivator."
Under the tulle, Bai Muxi bit her lip and told the truth:
"The Seven Cities Alliance has a total population of 370,000, a total of more than 7,000 cultivators, a total of 17 fusions, three great masters, and one from Yuanchu."
"."
After hearing these numbers, Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan glanced at each other subconsciously, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
In such a desperate situation, the humans in this cave dungeon still retain such fighting power.
and,
If what the other party says is true,
The ratio of mortals to cultivators in this underground ancient city is frighteningly high.
Almost fifty to one.
If the ratio between mortals and cultivators in the Great Yan Dynasty could be like this, they would be able to fight a civil war while pushing down the surrounding alien races!

My eyes were swollen and I went to the hospital.
