Chapter 670 [Blood Vampire Bullet] and [Distortion Bullet]
The sudden appearance of the myth of "insects" is indeed a big trouble.
If there are too few people, they cannot defeat the enemy; if there are too many people, the enemy will just run away.
Even if they send the innate myth to fight, they are worried about ruining their own luck. It is indeed a hot potato! At this time, the highest leader of the Linyuan clan, Yuan Tie, spoke: "The remains of the Emperor Huangtian do have some influence, but it is just a minor problem. Find a way to recruit it, give it a name, and don't gather people to cause trouble."
The key word "recruitment" echoed back and forth in the hall, shocking all the elders.
Someone immediately flattered him: "Your Highness is wise. This kind of trivial matter is really not worth spending energy to investigate."
Yuan Tie said: "The most important thing for us right now is to dig the space tunnel and prepare for the grand event."
"By then, even if all those civilizations unite to oppose the blood sacrifice rules, we will have ways to deal with it."
He waved his hand, and a huge flying boat descended from the sky.
The flying boat was loaded with huge stone sculptures, most of which were three to five hundred meters in size, like huge mountains.
These sculptures are fierce and lifelike, as if they were living beings.
What's even more terrifying is that there is a layer of evil spirit on the surface of its skin. This evil spirit alone is enough to make people terrified. Once any life gets close to it, it will wither and die.
An elder cupped his hands and explained to the people around him, "These are all the owners of the 'Infinite Qi' from the ancient times. They have survived until now by sealing themselves during the epoch disaster."
"These stone carvings were found in the Weaver's Lair."
"Infinite Qi caused the epochal disaster, so these stone sculptures are very dangerous."
"After experiments, we found that once these strong men are resurrected, the [ghosts] existing in Pangu Continent will fight to the death with them." Yuan Tie said in a cold tone, "But it will take time for the [ghosts] to run over. This little time is enough to deter all the surrounding civilizations."
"There is no need to be afraid of the myth of insects."
"Your Majesty, these powerful people who possess 'Infinite Qi' belong to different races. How can we make them obey?"
Yuan Tiedao: "It's very simple. Without blood sacrifice, they will not be able to maintain their own will, and will gradually lose their wisdom and become beasts."
"Re-excavating the blood sacrifice rules is in our common interest!"
…
…
Somewhat beyond Lu Yuan's expectations, the revenge of the ancient race had not yet arrived.
Instead, a large number of envoys came to offer amnesty.
[The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unity, and after a long period of unity, there will be division. In this era, disaster is approaching again. Only by unity can we fight against the disaster together. 】
[Myth of the Insect, as an ancient hero, if you can surrender, our Linyuan clan will forgive you for your past mistakes...]
[This order of recruiting is specially issued to show our kindness. We are willing to treat you with sincerity and work together for peace. ]
"What's the point of this flowery tone?" Gu Chong didn't understand.
"It probably means that you will be given the title of [Zerg General]... In name, you will be under the management of the ancient race."
Gu Chong was immediately furious: "These bastards, they don't dare to start a war, but they actually do this kind of inexplicable thing! What emperor, it's none of my business."
Its six insect legs moved, as if it wanted to kick the messenger who read the amnesty order to death.
Even the so-called "messengers" are not an ancient race, but a technological civilization that has defected to the past, probably with the strength of a third-level civilization. They have a pair of bat wings and look a bit wretched.
"Don't be angry, listen to the other party's conditions. We can only take the benefits and not the disadvantages." Lu Yuan quickly calmed it down.
The ancient insect, who was obsessed with the charm of money, immediately came to his senses and said solemnly to the bat creature: [I am the former general of the Emperor Huangtian. What can you offer to recruit me? ]
The bat creature paused and said, "Accept the financial audit of the Ancient Clan. We must keep records of what you sold."
[What? Not only do you not give me money, you also want me to pay taxes?] The ancient insect's anger frightened the bat creature.
The guy immediately begged for mercy: "Master Insect Myth, we are just your subordinates. It will be useless even if you kill us."
"In addition, His Highness has said that you will be exempted from taxes... The ancient race is also willing to take some precious materials in exchange for some divine skills. Are you willing to..."
"We also have immortal-level materials here..."
Lu Yuan was immediately moved, and thought to himself: "These ancient races are indeed short of manpower, otherwise they would not have resorted to the method of recruiting them..."
As for the financial audit... it's very easy to fool them. Just use your dream ability to hypnotize them and it'll be done.
If it really doesn't work, Lu Yuan still has the ability to [control]. He won't feel guilty about controlling several ancient races.
However, "recruiting" has actual political significance. Once the ancient insects are recruited, the situation in the eyes of surrounding civilizations will be different.
The ancient insect represents the faction of Emperor Huangtian. Once it defected to him, it might trigger a huge chain reaction.
[Lu Yuan, what should we do? They want to trade! Immortal materials are in short supply in our underground alliance!] This guy was fooled and looked anxious.
Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea: "The title of [Zerg General] won't work, but having them recognize you as [Zerg Emperor] is fine... You must be on an equal footing with them, and don't create a hierarchy. Do you understand?"
[Zerg Emperor] is a parallel relationship, and his political influence will not be that bad.
So the ancient insect said solemnly: [I am the first... insect warrior under the command of Emperor Huangtian. How can you, an ancient race, stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Huangtian and be given this title? ]
The bat men became even more frightened.
Gu Chong's tone changed: [Of course, if you acknowledge that I am the [Emperor of the Insect Tribe], related transactions can be done! ]
Its sound, like a tsunami wave, spread far and wide.
…
A few days later, a new title, "The Great Emperor of Zerg", appeared in the ruins of Buzhou.
The ancient race used high-grade materials to exchange for a considerable amount of divine skills.
This incident caused a huge uproar!
In the eyes of some pessimists, the Insect Myth seems to have been bribed and recruited by the ancient races; but in the eyes of optimists, the status of the Insect Myth is becoming increasingly higher, and it can actually be on par with the ancient races.
Lu Yuan knew that the storm would only be delayed, not disappear: "Recruiting is also a stopgap measure for their lack of manpower."
Therefore, the transformation of the "Qiankun World" was accelerated - the more the Qiankun World grew, the more powerful it could provide to the Greedy Demon.
On the contrary, Gu Chong was happy all day long, addicted to his huge wealth and unable to extricate himself.
"Lu Yuan! They gave me a lot of scales, claws, and meridians. I can't tell how much these things are worth!"
"They are so rich! I really want to become sworn brothers with them!"
Lu Yuan was speechless, but did not refute.
These materials might be spoils of war from the racial wars of the First Era, and actually contained ancient blood, so Lu Yuan secretly embezzled them and put them into the Qiankun World.
…
In this way, time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was already the tenth month.
300 days is not a long time, but it is not a short time either.
Green City has been preparing weapons for war. The people's ideological mobilization and public opinion work are fully prepared, and the warehouses are filled with drones and ammunition.
The "Yak Shield" that was smashed by the meteorite has also been repaired.
The number of soldiers expanded to 5% of the population, reaching 500,000, which is a very large number.
In fact, during these 10 months, scientists have developed two high-intensity idealistic weapons.
One is the "Vampire Bullet", a rune bullet developed based on [Vampire] energy, which has unique lethality to living things!
Lu Yuan privately judged: "If this [Blood Ghost Bullet] can hit, it will already seriously injure the little mirage dragon. Is there any potential for improvement?"
The weapons expert in charge of the development said: "Of course there is potential, but it requires more precious advanced supermagnetic materials based on [hardening] technology. Otherwise, the power of the [blood vampire] will escape and endanger itself."
"This weapon is easy to carry and can be fired from both sublight-speed electromagnetic cannons and mecha rune rifles."
"At present, one hundred [Blood Vampire Bullets] require one civilization point, which is quite expensive."
"The cost will drop further in the future. The theoretical minimum cost is 320 bullets per civilization point."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath. This was the power of technology. He, the Greedy Demon, had traveled far and wide and had countless adventures before he reached his current combat power.
But with the help of technology, an ordinary person can also exert powerful combat power.
“It is indeed an excellent weapon.”
Another weapon is naturally the "Distortion Bullet", which comes from the [Distortion Ghost].
The power of the deformed ghost is not as good as that of the blood ghost. It mainly relies on continuous damage and seems to be useless.
However, "distortion bombs" can affect non-living things, such as legendary shields and armor. If they are contaminated by the power of distortion, they will turn into scrap metal in minutes.
Lu Yuan was speechless when he saw the black bullet: "Epic level, can it pollute?"
"As long as the number of hits is large enough, it can be contaminated. If we can further plunder the power of the [Distortion Ghost], even the mythical equipment will be contaminated by you." The expert rubbed his hands, "And the cost is not high. After all, our Zerg warriors can absorb the power of the Distortion Ghost to a certain extent. About one civilization point can produce 10,000 bullets."
"This is truly a weapon that is against the will of nature...Once used, it will invite endless hatred."
"Commander-in-Chief, our current opinion is whether we should sell some new weapons in the temple? This is also considered a unique technology of mankind, and there are many civilizations in need of it."
Lu Yuan suddenly felt that humans were becoming more and more greedy and wanted to sell everything.
"Okay...you guys come up with a suitable price."
"But the quantity should not be too large, and the power should be controlled well. We must not sell the best version. If it endangers ourselves, it will be a laughing stock."
"Of course, we will make a foreign trade version."
"And my civilization's spiritual light curtain can effectively resist this kind of bullet."
Lu Yuan imagined a scene in his mind. During the battle, the enemy leader suddenly discovered that the immortal armor on his body was rotten. What kind of tragedy and hatred was this?
And even if the war is won, the huge loss in the value of the spoils is really sad.
But we have to admit that the pressure of war can indeed stimulate human initiative... High-powered weapons are being developed continuously! While humans were working hard, Lu Yuan's old ally, the Rize civilization, also took action. The lizardmen had nothing to do anyway, so they asked around about the movements of the major civilizations and their latest news.
Taduo rushed to the parliament hall and said excitedly: "That [Insect Myth] is actually willing to sell its horns... Immortal-level materials, earth attribute! It only needs 2,000 civilization points, 10,000 spiritual charm, and legendary-level consumables with life attributes, and it is willing to cede its horns."
"What does it need consumables for?" Lu Yuan was surprised. He didn't even know the price! The ancient insect was also becoming cunning!
"It claims that once it loses its horns, its combat power will be depleted, and consumables with life attributes can effectively speed up its recovery."
"Several civilizations want to jointly purchase it... A horn is this big, even if it is divided into several parts, it is enough." Taduo had a complicated expression. If their Rize civilization were here, they would also join the team and place an order together! Even the old cat was a little tempted. The ancient insect horn is indeed a good thing. Humans don't have immortal-level materials yet.
But as an insider, it knows that the price is too expensive and it really can't afford it.
So the old cat began to curse Lu Yuan in his heart: "Damn it... He monopolized all the immortal-level materials, but humans don't have any."
"Now even the ancient insects have become so greedy that humans have to share the bill with other civilizations to buy half a horn."
Lu Yuan also knew that the old cat was cursing him in his heart, so he remained silent for a long time, trying to change the subject: "Any other news?"
Taduo added: "The Weaver's lair is actually in the ruins of Buzhou! The Weaver is a rare anomaly in ancient times that is proficient in time... It is said that it originated from outside the Pangu Continent!"
"Its nest is like an ant hole, hidden in the void, with a large number of branching routes. It is said that the Emperor of Heaven placed his territory in the ruins of Buzhou, which has a great connection with the Weaver."
"Oh? What's in the nest?" Lu Yuan frowned. This was the first time he heard of this information.
"The Weaver is a mucus that can freeze matter and never decay." Tado gestured, "At the end of the First Era, many powerful people who controlled the infinite energy could not survive and jumped into the nest. Their own time was completely frozen. Now, this group of people have been dug out again."
Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly widened: "So that's how it is, those stone statues we have seen before are the controllers of infinite energy?"
"That's right."
He knocked on the table lightly. This matter was a bit difficult to handle.
The innate myth that controls the "infinite Qi" has a fighting power slightly weaker than that of the "ghost". More importantly, these guys are intelligent. Once they do evil, Lu Yuan alone will not be able to control them.
Fortunately, these guys have the [Ghost] to suppress them, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"The last piece of news is that the number of civilizations gathered here has exceeded 20,000, and may even have reached 30,000. The ruins of Buzhou is huge, and 30,000 civilizations distributed in various corners are not too crowded."
"Those ancient races outside are also being teleported back one after another, and are beginning to prepare for the Buzhou Festival in two months."
"However, there are not many civilizations that clearly express their positions..." Taddor lowered his voice, "But the number of conflicts and disputes has obviously decreased recently. According to our statistics, it has decreased by more than 50% compared to a year ago, and it will continue to decrease in the future."
Lu Yuan nodded. This was something he had no choice but to do. However, "not stating a position" was actually part of his position.
The emergence of field industrialization has created a huge pie that benefits all civilizations. To digest this pie, a large number of talents must be cultivated and the industrial structure must be adjusted, which cannot be done without decades or even hundreds of years.
Under such circumstances, conflicts among civilizations will naturally decrease.
But what bothered Lu Yuan the most was that Kame Wenming still hadn't shown up - or maybe they had already shown up, but just felt they couldn't solve the problem and started to act like cowards.
