Chapter 63: Old Man Ding's Most Useful Episode
For the skill [Nest and Keep Hitting], the determination of "possessing items" depends on the logic of the game system.
Under normal circumstances, living people cannot be considered items, so skills cannot be effective on them.
But because "Mirror in the Dust" contains the settings of "Military Way" and "Military Formation", things become different.
"Mirror in the Dust" has a very high degree of freedom and a variety of gameplay. After practicing various "Tao", players will have their own unique way of playing.
The same is true for the "Way of War".
Players of "Military Dao" mainly improve their abilities by leading troops to fight, and they all have abundant martial virtues. During the battle, a sandbox with a bird's-eye view will be opened, allowing players to command freely.
When a player who practices "Military Dao" uses "Military Formation" to edit the "army" under his command, the "army" becomes a selectable object.
Only at this time will the "army" as a whole be judged as an object.
[Keeping the attack at home] can also be effective against the "army".
But Gu Fangchen's plan now needs to solve two most important problems.
One is how to set up a formation and cast a spell to make the Si Shi River flood back.
The second is how to make the White Dragon Army belong to oneself.
"There are three types of formations capable of controlling such a large-scale water flow, all of which are primarily designed to kill. Putting aside whether I can form a formation with my current strength, if I fail to control it, tens of thousands of my own people will die."
Gu Fangchen thought about it and decided on the formation he needed:
"To reverse the flow of a river, you don't necessarily have to control the water flow directly. Changing the weather to bring down heavy rain and causing the water level to rise naturally can also cause the Sishi River to flood and rush into the valley."
His eyes flickered as he looked around and licked his dry lips.
The Qingman are good at taming monsters, and their main combat force is cavalry. Looking around, the ground is littered with the corpses of high-level monsters.
"These are all readily available materials. As long as we can find a few more Formation Dao cultivators with sufficient cultivation and the ability to cooperate in forming the formation, we can barely form the fourth-grade celestial formation 'Yunmeng Zeguo'."
"The White Dragon Army should have five Formation Dao cultivators above the seventh rank accompanying them, which is more than enough."
"Combined with the seventh-grade military formation 'Fixing Wind and Waves', which grants the ability to walk on water, we can guarantee our survival rate."
"But... to achieve this, the White Dragon Army must willingly let me command them and become part of my military formation system."
"That way, they become 'things' that I own."
Gu Fangchen flipped his hand and took out a token with the word "Yi" engraved on it from the cave ring.
After he returned home last night, the first person he looked for in order to escape smoothly was Ding Xingfeng.
Old Man Ding said, "You'd better get out of here now, the sooner the better."
But after seeing Ning Caiyong and his group off, Gu Fangchen discovered the token that had been forcefully embedded in the table.
When Ding Xingfeng achieved the status of Martial Saint, he was given the title of "Marquis of Yizhou".
Of course, the reason why he was only granted the title of marquis was not because Emperor Yong'an was stingy, but because Ding Xingfeng himself refused to be granted the title of king.
Being alone and not seeking fame or fortune is almost like having no weaknesses...
And because Ding Xingfeng was so famous, he made rapid progress, defeated the Qingman, and was clear about rewards and punishments, and the soldiers under his command were very loyal.
All I can say is that although the unjust case that caused Ding Xingfeng to retire seemed outrageous, it was not completely without reason.
Although this token is now equivalent to a piece of scrap metal, it represents Ding Xingfeng himself.
At that time, Ding Xingfeng was demoted to the lowest position and retired from the world.
The troops under Ding Xingfeng were also disbanded and reorganized, and one of them was incorporated into the current White Dragon Army, and its status was not low.
“Whoosh—”
An arrow suddenly shot out.
Gu Fangchen dodged sideways and appeared behind the Qingman soldier who was trying to launch a sneak attack.
The "First Rank" was unsheathed and pierced the soldier's throat without any hindrance.
Gu Fangchen closed his eyes, tightly gripped the sword in his hand, pulled it out and shook off the blood on it.
This was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands since crossing over, but in fact, because he had been in a highly tense state for a long time, he did not feel much discomfort.
...you have to adapt in the end.
Gu Fangchen exhaled, pulled out the White Dragon Army flag next to him with his other hand, and flew towards the army camp.
He will intervene in the war as a former subordinate of the Martial Saint, borrow the hearts of the people, and temporarily take over the entire White Dragon Army.
…
The other side.
"Thank you for the rescue, young lady!"
The two ninth-rank practitioners bowed deeply to Gu Lianxian, their voices filled with gratitude.
"If it weren't for the young lady's help, we would both have died here today."
Gu Lianxian put away the sword and saw blood oozing from her shoulder. She frowned and asked doubtfully:
"Why are you two being hunted by the demonic cult 'Candle-cutter Ghost'?"
She has been following Gu Yuye since she was a child, and has been influenced by him, so her theoretical knowledge is absolutely sufficient.
The "Candle-Cutting Ghost" of the Demon Cult is an elite in the way of "killing" and usually only takes action when there are important tasks.
But the two people in front of him had no sect or affiliation and their cultivation was only at the ninth level. They obviously should not be involved in the important task.
One of the casual cultivators smiled bitterly and said:
"We two have recently had some problems with our training and have sustained some internal injuries. We would like to ask the Tara Master of Lotus Life Temple to treat us, so we went to visit him."
"Who would have known that the 'Candle-Cut Ghost' had already slaughtered everyone in Liansheng Temple!"
"We were unlucky to run into them doing something, and it looked like we were going to be silenced... but luckily the girl intervened."
Gu Lianxian was shocked.
This evil cult is indeed vicious, and every move they make is a massacre of entire families.
But I don’t know why it is Liansheng Temple?
There must be a conspiracy here!
Gu Lianxian secretly took note of it and told her father this information when she returned.
Another casual cultivator bowed:
"I still don't know your benefactor's name?"
Gu Lianxian came back to her senses, raised her chin, and said lightly with pretended reserve:
"Gu Lianxian."
The two men looked at each other in surprise, their eyes flashed, and the one who spoke first said quickly:
"But the little princess of the Zhenbei Palace? I've heard of her name for a long time, and to actually meet her today is truly a great honor!"
Another person echoed:
"Young Princess is so kind and generous. We two casual cultivators have no other way to repay you."
He took out some scattered pills and said shyly:
"That's all I have. I hope the little princess won't despise me."
Gu Lianxian blushed and felt hot under the influence of the two, but she still tried her best to maintain her superior demeanor and said calmly:
"I saved you, not for repayment..."
Before she finished speaking, the man suddenly threw the pill, and it exploded with a bloody smoke.
Gu Lianxian was stunned, and then realized that this was poison!
Her expression changed, and she knocked the two men down with one sword. Then, she quickly retreated in disbelief, saying:
"You, what are you doing?! You're repaying kindness with enmity!"
The two men fell to the ground, looking at Gu Lianxian who was stumbling away with unwilling greed, and shouted:
"Everyone knows that the 'Lotus Hidden in the Womb' is within you! How dare you come out alone... The two of us are overestimating our own capabilities, but what about those high-ranking immortal sects?"
"That's right."
A voice came out.
Gu Lianxian turned around in confusion, only to see seven or eight cultivators with strong auras coming out from all around, with unfriendly expressions, and surrounding her.
"Hand over the 'Lotus Treasure in the Womb', and you can die more peacefully."
