Chapter 364 Strategic Shift

Judging from the information Lu Feng collected, the position of the City Lord of Xueya City seems ordinary, but there seems to be another mystery behind it, and there are unspeakable secrets hidden in secret.

This information aroused Lu Feng's curiosity.

Somehow, Lu Feng felt that this might be the secret place in the world of Bloody Trial, the opportunity in Bloody Trial that Wizard Hoya had mentioned that was sought after by countless people.

Based on the principle of rather wasting time than letting go.

Having finally discovered a little bit of the secret of the Bloody Trial, Lu Feng definitely didn't want to miss this clue.

So, while Elio's team was constantly fighting and entangled with the major forces in Xueya City, Lu Feng was secretly investigating the secrets of Xueya City and its lord in Xueya City.

For this piece of gossip to spread in Xueya City, there must be some traces.

It's definitely not groundless.

So, Lu Feng sorted out the various basic information about Xueya City collected by the Licorice system, while conducting on-site inspections of the geographical environment and construction technology of Xueya City.

It's no wonder that after Lu Feng's investigation, he actually discovered more details about Xueya City.

At this time, underground in Xueya City, Lu Feng was covered by the khaki power of the earth.

In the compacted and hard soil all around, Lu Feng, wrapped in the power of the earth, was like a swimming fish, moving freely through the soil and rocks. The spiritual veins of the earth spread around him, and everything on the earth was transparent in his eyes.

Using the power of the earth, he escaped underground. There seemed to be a divine light flashing in Lu Feng's eyes, and the scenery in his vision changed drastically.

In his spiritual vision, beneath the earth, the light of various elements and energies was clearly visible to his eyes.

After taking a look, Lu Feng quickly discovered something different in Xueya City.

In the ochre-yellow earth power that is everywhere in the soil and rocks, a special energy system was constructed underground during the construction of Xueya City, using some materials unique to the Blood Trial World to create a complete energy circuit.

Buried underground, they formed red, crystal-clear tubes like blood, in which rich and pure ancient blood flowed like liquid.

The range of these energy circuits covers the entire Xueya City and even extends to more than ten kilometers underground outside the city. The entire huge energy system looks like a spirit gathering array in the wizarding world. With the city as the center, it gathers the ancient blood energy within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Finally, it is transported to the City Lord’s Mansion of Xueya City through the energy pipelines in the city and stored in the city center.

"This scale of energy gathering array can gather a huge amount of ancient blood from the heaven and earth. This function alone is enough to arouse my greed, not to mention that this should only be one of the most basic abilities of Blood Edge City!"

Lu Feng's eyes were as sharp as torches as he carefully observed the energy array in Xueya City. At the same time, he calculated in his mind the ability of this energy array to collect ancient blood. A quick calculation resulted in an astonishing number.

The amount of ancient blood collected every day seems to be faster than the caravans that Elio and his friends robbed to and from Blood Edge City.

"If we can take over the entire Xueya City, then the residents of Qingmu Fudi will be able to achieve freedom of ancient blood!" More ideas suddenly emerged in Lu Feng's mind.

"However, from what I have observed over the past few days, the technical level of the blood warriors in Xueya City does not seem to be able to create such a high-tech energy array. It seems that this may be the work of the 'Blood Temple' above Xueya City, and the residents and the city lord of this city have only mastered the ability to use this city!"

Thinking of this problem, Lu Feng felt hesitant.

After all, according to the information collected by Licorice's system, those who can join the Blood Temple in Xueya City are all ancestors of major families and forces, and some have even surpassed the blood warriors and reached the incredible level of ancient blood warriors.

In Lu Feng's speculation, the ancient blood warrior in the bloody trial may have reached the level of the Moonlight Wizard.

Even though the ancient blood warriors here are not as good as wizards in their comprehension of the laws, the difference in realm alone is enough to crush Lu Feng, a small mid-stage Morning Star wizard.

However, it seems that none of the major families and forces in Xueya City have ancestor-level ancient blood warriors in charge now. Moreover, Xueya City has been forced into this miserable situation by Elio's team, and there is no sign of the ancestors of the Blood God Temple returning to help, which makes Lu Feng feel a lot more at ease.

After going to the Blood God Temple, it seems that if an ancestor-level ancient blood warrior wants to come back, there seems to be a huge price to pay. Even the entire Xueya City, with so many families and forces, cannot afford it.

"I want to see what secrets this Xueya City has and what benefits I can get from becoming the city lord!"

In the soil, Lu Feng stared at the huge energy core at the location of the City Lord's Mansion and had already made his own decision in his heart.

Lu Feng is determined to take over this Xueya City.

However, how to capture the Xueya City still requires long-term planning.

According to the information collected by Licorice, there are more than fifty blood warriors under the command of Song Zhao, the lord of Xueya City.

The worshippers in the City Lord's Mansion, the elders and family heads of the four major families, and a few scattered blood warriors in the hands of other small forces in the city.

Under the pressure of Elio's team, these blood warriors have now been basically gathered together by Song Zhao, the lord of Xueya City, and formed into two hunting teams. With their absolute numbers and strength, they are constantly searching for the traces of Elio's team near Xueya City.

Each team has more than 20 people, and they act in groups. The difference in numbers has prevented Elio and his team from engaging in direct combat with them. They can only use auxiliary systems and various reconnaissance spells to avoid them in advance, engage in guerrilla warfare, and launch sneak attacks on places that they cannot reach.

Lu Feng wanted to take over Xueya City, but he could not avoid these blood warriors in the city.

Kill or conquer?

Lu Feng called Elio and the others to discuss the matter and prepare for a long-term plan.

"Master, we are all out now. Including the Blood Warriors, there are only 12 fourth-level fighters in total. And every hunting team in Xueya City has more than 20 Blood Warriors, and some of them may be extremely powerful above the mid-stage Morning Star. It is basically impossible to defeat a hunting team in Xueya City head-on. So I think we still have to find a way to expand our team and improve our combat effectiveness!"

After some discussion, Elio looked at Lu Feng and cautiously put forward a discouraging suggestion.

Elio thought that the fighting power of his master's men was still a little weak, and they did not have the ability to capture the Bloody City.

"So what do you think we should do now? Any suggestions?"

Hearing this, Lu Feng calculated in his mind and found that it was indeed true.

After making this suggestion, Elio thought that Lu Feng would be angry, but she still underestimated Lu Feng's tolerance. She was explaining the facts, and Lu Feng would not be angry with her for such a small matter.

Seeing that Lu Feng was not angry, Elio continued to add:

"Master, Xueya City has been on full alert because of our provocation. Why don't we change our target and go to other nearby cities? The nearest Dongshi City is only a few thousand kilometers away from Xueya City. We can go to Dongshi City to develop first, enslave a few blood warriors to improve our combat effectiveness, and paralyze these forces in Xueya City. When we have accumulated enough combat power, we can go back and seek the position of city lord. No matter which city we choose, it will be a lot easier and there will be no danger! The only disadvantage is that it will waste some time."

Bang bang bang!

After listening to Elio's suggestion, Lu Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and clapped with satisfaction.

Elio's words touched Lu Feng's heart.

He never fights a battle without confidence. This time, he suddenly decided to attack Xueya City. He was too hot-blooded and made a wrong decision.

The most correct way is to follow what Elio said.

Then, Lu Feng nodded and gestured to Elio:

"You're right. Although I covet the secrets and benefits of the Lord of Xueya City, for the sake of everyone's safety, we should still proceed cautiously. From today on, the hunting team led by you, Elio, should not stay near Xueya City. You can go to other nearby cities to have a look. We have been blocking the door of Xueya City for so long, it's time to give them a chance to go out!"

"Yes, sir, I understand!" Elio responded with surprise. She had already made a decision in her mind about the subsequent hunting operations.

The hunting team she led had been chased and intercepted by the blood warrior team in Xueya City outside of the city these days, and they were getting a little annoyed by the chase.

In addition, they plundered too quickly, and all the resources and population outside Xueya City had been plundered by them. If they wanted to gain anything, they would either have to attack the blood warrior team in Xueya City, or go deep into Xueya City and commit crimes against the wind.

In any case, the danger is greatly increased.

It's easy to not only not gain any benefits but also get yourself into trouble, and then staying outside Xueya City will do more harm than good.

This time, Master Lu Feng's change of mind gave Elio and the others an opportunity to move the battlefield.

After packing up, Elio and his companions set out again, heading straight for Dongshi City, which is closest to Xueya City.

Dongshi City is famous for its special product of hard blood-colored rock and is only 2,300 kilometers away from Xueya City.

After flying for half a day and passing through a vast and primitive forest, Elio and his companions saw Dongshi City, which was located at the foot of a red mountain.

Being new here, Elio was more cautious this time.

Now her first goal is to capture the blood warriors of Dongshi City, and her second goal is to introduce population to Qingmu Fudi.

Capturing blood warriors and enslaving them can actually improve the combat effectiveness of Lu Feng's subordinates.

Introducing population also requires training, which will be beneficial to the future of Aoki Fukuchi.

Lu Feng wanted to build a city in the Bloody Trial World. At this time, improving combat effectiveness was the first priority, and introducing population naturally became the second priority.

Having learned from the experience of robbing the Chamber of Commerce convoy outside Xueya City last time, Elio was much more careful this time and did not act rashly.

Instead, let Licorice release some systems, integrate them into Dongshi City, and collect some information.

"That's interesting. The Lord of Dongshi City received a call for help from the Lord of Xueya City and sent twenty Blood Warriors to Xueya City to help Xueya City! As a result, the combat power in Dongshi City has weakened a bit. We can take advantage of this opportunity to find some loopholes and capture a few Blood Warriors!"

Soon, the system in Elio's brain gathered some information. Combining the current situation, Elio's eyes flashed and he determined the next target.

The information about the appearance of evil spirits outside Xueya City failed to spread to the lower levels of Dongshi City due to the distance of more than 2,000 kilometers, and was only spread in a small range among some major forces in the city.

Ordinary people in Dongshi City still live a peaceful life, working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise.

Another day ends and night falls.

After a busy day, ordinary people in Dongshi City basically return home to rest.

In the center of Dongshi City, the lights are still on in the wealthy families in the prosperous area.

The children of these big families are not like ordinary people in Dongshi City who can't afford lights. Their lives begin when night falls.

Deep inside the Liu family's mansion in Dongshi City, in the courtyard of a blood warrior elder of the Liu family, the lights were on. This Zhang Long was exposing his strong body and having fun with his new thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, and thirty-eighth concubines, hugging them left and right. It was a happy scene.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.

The elder of the Liu family in the room shuddered suddenly, his whole body tensed up, he pulled out the thirty-sixth concubine from his arms, looked around nervously, and shouted sternly:

"Who, who is there, come out quickly, I see you!"

"Master Liu, who is it? There is no one here! Master, I want more!" The 36th concubine, who was in high spirits, suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. She subconsciously struggled to get up and blurted out the question.

However, Elder Liu ignored his concubine. He was secretly filled with murderous intent. Having experienced many battles in his life, he was well aware of the danger at the moment.

However, before Elder Liu could find any trace of the enemy, he suddenly felt the surroundings darken and his mind went into chaos. When he struggled out of this negative state, the scenery before him had changed drastically.

His large silk bed that could sleep ten people had disappeared, replaced by a green forest with fresh air and vibrant life.

He wanted to move, but found himself naked with his limbs tied up by a white root and fell on an emerald green wooden wall. A breeze blew and his naked body felt slightly cool.

And the third concubine, with whom he had just been having fun, was also sleeping quietly beneath him.

"What happened? Where am I? Is there anyone here who can explain this to me?" Elder Liu let out a shrill howl, but there was no one around him and no one could explain this to him.

He wanted to break free from the restraint of the white roots, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake these hard roots. Even if he used the power of a bleeding warrior, it did not work at all. The blood energy could not shake the white roots, but made them more excited. There were also waves of devouring power that wanted to drain the energy in his body.
