When Sun Yucheng breathed his last breath, the Luck Dragon Elephant manifested by his Hidden Dragon Destiny also lost its source of power.
The dragon python that was still able to withstand defenses suddenly became weak. It screamed at Sun Yucheng who had lost the breath of life, full of unwillingness.
Then he reluctantly raised the snake's head and looked towards the direction of the county city. Snake Xin vomited lightly and found that no direct descendant of the Sun family was still alive, and there was no successor to the destiny dragon energy.
Join a side branch and start all over again?
It rejected the idea after just a moment's thought, and returned to the earth's dragon veins in the form of a python, perhaps regaining some of its vitality in the hope that a certain dynasty or generation in the future would rely on its destiny.
Not only will you lose most of your strength by joining the side branch, but once you fail, you will never have a chance to stand up again.
However, in this case, even if the dragon python wants to send a body of dragon energy back to the dragon vein, it must first ask the dragon carp who has been fighting fiercely so far.
The main battlefield of the Human Dao below was victorious, and the dragon and carp's luck increased greatly. Without stopping, they rushed straight towards them with thousands of troops in their arms.
Without Sun Yucheng, the hidden dragon, it would be difficult for Long Python to struggle just because it was locked by this general trend of luck.
In desperation, it actually cut off its tail to escape. The python's body was cut off in the middle, and the back half collapsed into a large stream of khaki dragon aura. The front half turned into a stream of light and fell in the direction of the dragon's veins.
This is not about how high the dragon python's intelligence is, but the instinctive call of the dragon's veins. It is better to die and return to the dragon's veins than to be swallowed and digested.
The dragon and carp were not polite either. The fish's mouth opened wide like a black hole, sucking in all the disintegrating dragon energy. It was a gluttonous feast.
It doesn't take much time to digest, and the dragon carp's body begins to change. The fish scales appear thick and yellow, the fish's whiskers grow into tough dragon whiskers, and the fish's tail becomes slender...
After receiving this dragon energy, the dragon carp seems to have turned on the evolutionary switch, and its body no longer grows blindly, it can even be said to shrink.
After the ordinary Hidden Dragon defeats and kills other Hidden Dragons, the result obtained by the Luck Dragon Elephant is this, and there is no time to intercept the remaining part of the returning dragon vein.
But Zhou Bai had practiced the Fish-Dragon Transformation, a technique specifically aimed at luck-lucky dragons and elephants, so how could he easily cut off his tail and escape.
He has always seen the vicissitudes of the Dragon-Elephant War. Especially after Sun Yucheng's death, his mind was completely focused on Longli. Now is the critical moment to change the path of Dragon-Elephant.
After the disintegrated earthy yellow dragon energy was swallowed up by the dragon carp, Zhou Bai immediately started the fish-dragon transformation in his body, allowing the dragon carp to receive more support from the power of luck.
The Qianlong Great Luck has set off, turning into a wave of red and yellow clouds.
It held its head high and its tail swung suddenly. Driven by the waves, it looked like a meteor chasing half of the escaping dragon python.
The mysterious transformation of the fish and dragon was something that the dragon python had never expected. It chased and fled without any resistance at all.
Finally, on the unnamed mountain range where the Sun family's dragon cave is located, it was finally intercepted by the dragon carp and turned into evolutionary material in its belly.
When it returned, the dragon carp became mysterious and majestic, with traces of purple dragon energy overflowing from its body. This was the result of swallowing dragon energy from different sources and could not be completely digested.
Normally, the lucky dragon and elephant can digest 10-30% of the result of the battle, but Zhou Bai mastered the ichthyosaur to become smaller, and should be able to digest 30-50% of the result of the battle.
Because both the front and back sections of the earthy yellow dragon python are swallowed by the dragon carp, the effect is naturally maximized and it can digest 50% of the dragon energy.
The dragon carp's body became increasingly purple, and even Zhou Bai couldn't see the changes on it clearly. He could only watch from a distance as the dragon carp flew over Bei'an County.
This battle is not only a life and death battle between Sun Yucheng and Zhou Bai, but also a battle of belonging to Bei'an County.
Since Zhou Bai won this battle, one county and seven counties in Bei'an would be the territory where dragons and carp paraded.
If there are lucky people who are not asleep at this time, they may be able to catch a glimpse of the Qianlong's patrol during the great change in Bei'an's luck.
I don’t know what it will look like in the end, a dragon, a snake, a dragon, or a python, or it may stay in the carp path for the time being, waiting to turn into a dragon next time.
The advancement of the Luck Dragon Elephant will affect Zhou Bai's strategic decisions in the next period of time. Of course, he is very concerned about it.
But in the current situation, the dragon carp must have to go back from a tour to complete the advancement.
So Zhou Bai suppressed his mind and began to deal with the aftermath of this battle. He should at least try to gather the defeated troops and not let them become bandits and cause too much damage to the local area.
Zhou Yuan was actually already doing this. More than half of Sun Yucheng's hundreds of loyal guards committed suicide and followed their old master, and the rest were the key targets for surrender.
Of course, after realizing Zhou Bai's intention, shouts rang out from all over the mountains and plains.
"Put down your weapons and surrender without killing. You are all sons of your hometown. General Fumo will not make things difficult for you!"
"After fighting all night, don't run away. Come back and sleep peacefully. There will be hot water and food..."
Especially since the period of strongest military impact has passed, the Taoist regiment's illuminating Taoism shines in the night sky again. Those who want to hide and run away, or even want to gather together to resist, have no way out.
However, the Taoist magic was used again, which reminded Zhou Bai that the Wudingmen master he had been guarding against did not take action.
Li Yuan reported that the remaining people of Wudingmen were only confronting each other on the periphery and did not exert much force. They did not make any moves to affect the situation on the battlefield.
Zhou Bai's derivation of the past life was not a hidden dragon, but he also didn't think that a real person was insignificant to the situation.
There are many cases in history where monks have influenced the overall situation. For example, there was a Qianlong War involving ownership rights in a certain inner state. Whoever wins can unify the entire state and establish a country.
The most suitable time for Fulong Warlock and Fulong Sect to recover their costs is when Qianlong successfully establishes a country.
Regardless of whether it is a lordship or a kingdom, Qianlong has completed a stage of his mission. Of course, the kingdom is the most important. This is the so-called success of the king's career.
At that time, it was the decisive battle that was about becoming a king. At the most difficult moment of the situation, Lao Zhenren of the Fulong Sect was willing to suffer the backlash of luck and set off a wind and sand to disrupt the Chinese escort of the enemy commander.
The Qianlong side also seized the opportunity, went straight against the Chinese army, and finally won the battle.
Interfering in such a war, or directly participating in it, fate backfired, and the old master died directly, and even several of his disciples were implicated.
However, Cheng Wang's Qianlong also gave a great reward, directly giving the sect the quota of two Qi Luck Masters, allowing its orthodoxy to flourish for three hundred years.
The situation of Wuding Sect was somewhat similar to that of the Fulong Sect in history, so Zhou Bai had around 3,000 people guarding him until the final battle.
It's not that he's worried about being defeated, it's just that if a real person really doesn't care about life and death, his influence will still be great. With enough reserves, he can suppress the overall situation.
As soon as he thought of Master Wu Ding, Li Yuan came with a wisp of breeze. His face was excited. No one in the Taoist priest group could have imagined such a hearty victory.
Interests are related, Zhou Bai's victory is related to the ordinary mortals under the general's government, and it is also related to them.
Only when the power becomes bigger and bigger can more resources be allocated and the more luck can be drawn for cultivation.
But coming here now, it is obvious that he has something to report. He bowed his hands and said: "My lord, Master Wu Ding invites you to meet in Tingshan. He said that we have important matters to discuss."
"Lord, maybe there is a trick..."
Li Yuan didn't understand what Wu Dingzhen was doing. He didn't take action in the middle of the war, but now he was inviting people to meet and discuss.
"Tell him that if he is sincere, we will meet him in the army." Zhou Bai shook his head calmly.
He is the one taking the initiative now. He will not deal with Wudingmen for a while, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
"No, my subordinate will go and reply right away." With support from others and a great victory, Li Yuan felt confident even when facing a real person.
Everything has been basically settled, and a temporary camp has been set up in a clean area outside the battlefield.
Several monks accompanying the army are cooperating with the military doctors to treat the wounded soldiers. The precious rejuvenation techniques and other treatment methods naturally give priority to themselves. The captured wounded soldiers can only be disinfected with alcohol first, and then equipped with bandages and herbs scalded with boiling water.
In fact, according to the military medical system established by Zhou Bai, without the participation of monks, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers after the war has been reduced a lot.
Especially the alcohol produced when brewing high-strength liquor, as well as boiling water to "ward off evil spirits" and other small methods, are even more critical.
In the past, the armies of all major forces could only ensure the survival of disabled generals. In Zhou Bai's army, the survival rate of ordinary soldiers was also guaranteed.
Next to the wounded barracks is a group of cooks who have taken off their armor, making a fire and making rice. The smoke is curling up and the rice is fragrant.
These cooks are all temporary, because all the auxiliary soldiers and pure logistics personnel were left behind by Zhou Bai in the Bei'an Camp.
The team escorting the prisoners of the Yamen army would pass by. The steaming meals made these people completely relaxed and no longer had any unruly and violent emotions.
Jiedushi is dead, so they have nothing to fight for. Once they come, they will settle down. They are all from Bei'an anyway.
Zhou Bai inspected the wounded barracks, kitchens, and prisoner camps in turn, spouting words of comfort that could be regarded as a small appearance.
After a great victory, he could do these small things to gain more support and stabilize the morale of the army.
Walking into the Chinese army's tent, it was empty. Only two soldiers were making beds. The rest of the army, including Zhou Yuan, still couldn't rest.
You must know that before the decisive battle with Sun Yucheng, they had just fought against Lou Jinpeng. Just chasing down the defeated soldiers was a big project.
The soldiers guarding the tent immediately saluted: "Greetings, general. You have worked hard all day. Why don't you take a nap first? It will take some time for the food to be heated."
Zhou Bai smiled and shook his head: "Bring Lou Jinpeng here first to see what he thinks."
Soon the soldiers took the order and left. After nearly a cup of tea, Lou Jinpeng was escorted over. He was detained and guarded in a distant place.
The number one general under Sun Yucheng, now full of dejection and sadness, had obviously learned that his old master had died in battle.
"Have you thought clearly? Surrender or die. If a general like you doesn't use it for yourself, he will die." Zhou Bai got straight to the point, and what he said was very realistic.
Lou Jinpeng is Sun Yucheng's military commander auxiliary star, and the disconnected destiny trajectory between the two is clearly visible in the eyes of Zhou Bai, who has perfected the art of looking at energy. It is not impossible to surrender.
"The defeated general has no face to surrender to the second master again." Lou Jinpeng glanced at Zhou Bai, who was so majestic and heroic, and shook his head slowly.
Zhou Bai poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Lou Jinpeng who had untied his shackles, saying: "The cause of defeat is not you, it's Sun Yucheng, it's destiny."
"You fought until the end and were captured. To be honest, I couldn't defeat you even if you brought those soldiers with me."
There was no one in the tent, the two sides were close at hand, but Zhou Bai was unprepared and met each other frankly.
Such magnanimity and style are really too convincing.
"I don't have enough talent to make the commander-in-chief die in battle..." Lou Jinpeng tried to persuade Zhou Bai to stop trying, but when faced with him, the reasons he gave were so weak.
"I admire a man who died for the Ming Dynasty when he was alive, but not Sun Yucheng. Will the people of Bei'an benefit at all after he becomes the governor?"
"As far as I know, he doesn't have much kindness towards you. Well, he's considered a bole."
"How about you start as a soldier here with me?"
Zhou Bai was still unhurried, but his majestic and sincere eyes made Lou Jinpeng dare not look directly into them.
"Xiaobing?" Lou Jinpeng was stunned.
Zhou Bai smiled and said: "I am not your Bole, I just give you a platform to use what you have learned."
"If you are not talented enough, then you can learn slowly in our army. If you can finally rise to prominence by virtue of your military exploits, no one can criticize you."
In fact, this is Zhou Bai giving him a step down, so that his moral guilt will be much smaller.
"I..." Lou Jinpeng was still struggling in his heart.
At this time, the fateful dragon elephant, which had completed its transformation, returned from a parade, and the sound of a young dragon shook Bei'an.
Suddenly, Zhou Bai shouted and asked: "Lou Jinpeng, one last question for you, are you willing to surrender?"
The roaring sound hit Lou Jinpeng's soul. In a daze, he seemed to see a half-dragon, half-fish shadow wrapped around Zhou Bai.
Is that a dragon? Is it really God’s destiny?
When Lou Jinpeng swayed, he looked again. The dragon shadow was gone, but Zhou Bai's figure was still as majestic and tall.
"Are you willing to surrender?"
The four words continued to echo in his ears, and his mind was shaken. The feeling of being a majestic master was even worse. He had a feeling in the dark that he should surrender.
Bang~
"I am willing to surrender." The next moment, Lou Jinpeng had already knelt on the ground and murmured.
"Hahaha, okay, a small soldier is better than a thousand troops." Zhou Bai laughed loudly and helped Lou Jinpeng up.
Lou Jinpeng was put on his body by Zhou Bai's hands, as if he had just woken up from a dream. Did he just agree to surrender?
But the deal was already done, and he could only make his last request: "Lord, I have an unkind request. Please allow me to bury my old master."
Zhou Bai nodded happily. This not only did not violate his taboo, but also showed his loyalty.
"Sun Yucheng is also a hero after all. He should be buried with the etiquette of a fifth-rank minister of Daxu. If you want, go ahead and carry the coffin and dig the earth."
"Thank you, Lord!" Lou Jinpeng bowed deeply, showing his sincerity to Zhou Baigui.
"Come here and place General Lou in Jiao Tu's army, starting from an ordinary soldier..."
As the soldiers took Lou Jinpeng away, silence returned to the tent.
God and man co-host, nothing more than this.
Of course, it may be difficult to kidnap an auxiliary star military commander and rely on a junior co-leader of gods and men.
It was by chance that he borrowed the power of the dragon-elephant advancement to make him surrender.
Speaking of the dragon elephant, Zhou Bai could finally observe it carefully and reflect it on himself!
A creature that looks like a dragon but not a dragon, a fish but not a fish appears in mid-air. It swims freely, overlooking the land of Bei'an, feeling very uncomfortable.
Two feet long and one foot wide, it is much smaller than the dragon and carp, but its power is obviously not the same.
There is a fish python head with beards, a python body and a fish tail, and the golden fins of a dragon and carp on its back.
The last dragon elephant is a fish dragon, and the road change is completed, but it has not completely crossed over to the dragon.
