Chapter 872 Beware of overdoing it
Although Balai's strength was not as strong as Zheshang's, but when he left Shang Yuan Kingdom with a team of only six demon warriors, Zhou Yu also discovered the preciousness of this guy. After all, he is the head of the family, Balai's style of doing things is very steady, and he also has the strength of a strong man, and he does play a soul role in this team.
The Plains of Despair is not a fun place, let alone fun, the entire Plains of Despair is a nightmare existence among all the countries around the plains, although this is the Demon Realm, it does not mean that the Demon Warriors will not be afraid. This can be seen from the current Balai and the other demon warriors in his team, although there are still dozens of miles to catch up with the Plains of Despair, the vigilance of the entire team and the tension of the overall atmosphere have been raised to an unprecedented height.
It's not that Balai doesn't want to bring more people out, it's just that the interior of the Plain of Despair is not suitable for the demon army, not to mention that the Gesang family is only a medium-sized family in the Shangyuan Kingdom, and Balai does not have the capital to form a demon army.
The Plains of Despair itself can be understood as a complete world, where countless powerful demonic beasts live, including many demonic beasts that already have high-level intelligence, these demonic beasts are of course also demons, but they prefer to survive in such an environment.
After all, the strong are often lonely......
The location of the Soul Pool is actually not too deep into the Plains of Despair, which is the main reason why Balai dares to bring his people here. The clansmen brought out by Balai are already the strongest combat force that the Gesang family can dispatch, and it can be seen that he has invested enough money in this incident, and it is obvious that after Zheshang's death, Xiao Ming has become the most important cultivation object of the Gesang family. Of course, Xiao Ming's positioning was originally like this, but now it has become more important.
Zhou Yu now has a relatively comprehensive control over the entire Demon Realm, and of course this is also a world that is much stronger than the Rule World. It is undeniable that the chaotic environment is something that humans say they don't like, but while chaos brings destruction and disaster, it also brings strength. A race that can grow up in a chaotic environment is destined to have a tenacious vitality, and is brave enough to fight and certainly good at fighting.
This is not a great discovery, Zhou Yu has gone all the way, has experienced the stable star field of the regular world, the broken star field, and then entered the chaotic world, and then came to the chaotic time and space, the trend of change in these worlds is like this, the broken star field in the stable world is obviously stronger than the stable star field, as for the current chaotic time and space, it is the most powerful place in the world that Zhou Yu has seen, you must know that even some very ordinary clansmen in the Gesang family themselves have at least the combat power equivalent to the human armored warrior, that is to say, as long as the age of the demon clan reaches about ten years, no matter how bad the talent is, he can definitely become at least a first-order warrior.
This is a situation that is unimaginable in the world of rules, even in the world of chaos. Of course, Zhou Yu did not think that the chaotic world was as good as chaotic time and space, in the final analysis, this is the time when there are no stable rules to establish, and the reason why civilians are still seen in the chaotic world is mainly because Zhou Yu is in the fortress world of the chaotic world, if it is a chaotic world with completely chaotic rules, it is naturally a different scene.
The reason why Zhou Yu has such a feeling now is mainly because in Balai's team, except for Xiao Ming, who has to come over, the other five demon warriors are all fifth-order warriors, and this is just a small family in Shang Yuan Kingdom, it is difficult to imagine how many strong families there will be in those top families among the superpowers on the Flowing Netherworld Continent.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Zhou Yu, after all, he has no intention of fighting here, and the strength of the overall strength of the Demon Realm naturally does not have much to do with Zhou Yu. It's just that the overall situation here is strong or makes Zhou Yu feel more or less wrong, no matter what, it is very likely that he will still need to fight here in the next period of time, and it is not necessarily a good thing that the enemy is too strong after all.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the enemies here are all considered "normal", after all, the warriors of the demon clan are in the normal range whether they are strong or not, and their combat methods, and even the distribution of their strength are very similar to those of human warriors, so such enemies don't have to take too much risk when fighting with them.
"Slow down and observe. With a distance of about ten miles from the Plains of Despair, Balai began to slow down the group once more.
The other four demon warriors in the team have always obeyed Balai's orders, but after the team's speed slowed down, Zhou Yu's mood became very bad, it is undeniable that Balai is a qualified family head and a qualified leader, but the leader's style will naturally affect the temperament of the entire team, and the current team of demon warriors is stingy everywhere, and it is impossible for this team to have much success if it is too cautious.
"How many soul beasts do you need to recover your body?" Zhou Yu was really bored and asked Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming was a little strange and replied, "According to the head of the family, I need at least three hundred units of soul power. ”
"Three hundred units of soul power. Zhou Yu sighed a little helplessly, but he didn't say anything after that.
In fact, Zhou Yu also understood why Xiao Ming felt strange just now, after all, although the head of the family, Balai, did not say this kind of thing directly to Zhou Yu, but they had already explained it to Xiao Ming very clearly, Xiao Ming didn't think that Zhou Yu would happen to be distracted when listening to these things. Of course, Zhou Yu will definitely not know these things, that is, because he knows that he will feel helpless now.
Balai is too careful, of course being careful is a good quality, after all, Balai is not acting alone, he needs to be responsible for all the clansmen he brought out, and at the same time, he definitely needs to consider his own life safety, but if he is so cautious and cautious, according to Zhou Yu's estimate, if he wants to obtain three hundred units of soul power, it is estimated that it is impossible to complete it without three years or two years.
Zhou Yu was not joking, but really made such a judgment after understanding the situation. Before leaving, Balai had already explained the plan of this operation very clearly, there were indeed soul beasts near the Soul Pool, but the number of soul beasts was actually not enough, in fact, compared to the entire Despair Plains, the number of soul beasts in the Soul Pool could only be regarded as a minority, and it could even be said that it was a very small number, in terms of the density of soul beasts near the Soul Pool, it was already destined that this operation might not be too fast. But before, Zhou Yu thought that such a situation might occur, if this family with not very strong strength could easily obtain a large amount of soul power, then soul power would not be a particularly precious thing.
It's just that before leaving, Zhou Yu didn't expect Balai to be so cautious, if this operation really had to be delayed for so long, Zhou Yu even planned to act on his own. This is not a joke, according to the previous introduction of Balai, the soul beast itself is actually a demon, and the level of the demon beast is also distributed according to the first order to the fifth order, and after killing the soul beast, according to the amount of soul power obtained, kill the soul beast between the first order and the fifth order, and the soul power obtained is different, killing 10,000 first-order soul beasts can obtain a unit of soul power, killing a thousand second-order soul beasts can obtain a unit of soul power, a hundred third-order soul beasts can obtain a unit of soul power, ten fourth-order soul beasts can obtain a unit of soul power, and only by killing a fifth-order soul beast can you directly obtain a unit of soul powerOf course, if you encounter an extraordinarily powerful fifth-order soul beast, you also have the opportunity to directly obtain two or three units of soul power. But it also needs to be clear that if they encounter a soul beast that represents two or three units of soul power, Balai and they will definitely need to escape.
Maybe Balai and the others can't figure out why there are two or three units of soul power after being killed, but Zhou Yu can figure this out, the reason is very simple, naturally because those fifth-order soul beasts have already reached the peak realm of the fifth order, but because they can't advance to the next realm, they can only stay at the fifth order, but their combat power is not at all what ordinary fifth-order demonic beasts or fifth-order demon warriors can fight against.
For example, Zhou Yu did not have an accident before, even if he did not have armor, some powerhouses in the martial spirit realm were not his opponents at all, Zhou Yu not only had a huge advantage in terms of spiritual power reserves, but also had an advantage in the realm, in fact, Zhou Yu had already noticed that he had long since not belonged to the martial spirit realm, but because there was no more obvious breakthrough in the strength level, it seemed that he had always stayed in the martial spirit realm.
"Be careful, the soul beasts around the Soul Pool are not easy to deal with. Bale said cautiously, and continued to advance with the people of the Sanger family. In fact, now Balai's cautious attitude has made several demon warriors around him seem a little impatient, it seems that Zhou Yu does not have such thoughts, these demon warriors who came out to fight with Balai themselves also feel that this is very meaningless. Now he was just about to enter the Plains of Despair, and he didn't even see the shadow of the Soul Pool, Balai was already so careful, if he really arrived at the Soul Pool, wouldn't he have to dig a bunker before he could start fighting?
Balai also noticed the impatience of the people around him, and he snorted coldly and said, "When you really enter the Plains of Despair, you will know why I should be so careful. ”
Some clansmen were angry and seemed to want to refute something, but in the end they gave up this idea in a daze, and it was obvious that there was a huge difference between not being convinced and taking the initiative to challenge the authority of the head of the family.
But no matter what contradictions there are in the team, they still have to move forward after all, and it seems that in order to prove that Balai's statement is right, just when the team has just entered the edge of the Despair Plain, a group of demonic beasts suddenly rushed towards them, and when they saw the demonic beasts appear, Balai instantly changed color, and he subconsciously said: "Retreat." ”
As soon as they heard Balai's words, almost all the demon warriors in the team were stunned, including Xiao Ming, they all looked at Balai in surprise. It was indeed the demon warriors rushing over, but it was obvious that it was just a group of demonic beasts that didn't seem to have too strong combat power, these demonic beasts had even been seen by them when they were hunting near Shang Yuanguo, this was just a relatively common demonic beast sawtooth beast, the overall size of the sawtooth beast looked like a large blue wolf, but the place of the mouth of this large blue wolf looked very strange, it looked like a bucktooth, but this bucktooth obviously made him more powerful, the teeth of the sawtooth beast were really like huge sawtooth, and there was even a gap between the teeth and the teeth, one after the other, even Zhou Yu Although he was far away from these sawtooth beasts, but they could already feel the obvious fluctuations of power in their mouths.
"Can't escape. Suddenly, just when several demon warriors of the Gesang family were stunned by Balai's words, Xiao Ming spoke on the side.
It's just that at this time, Xiao Ming's face looked very strange, as if he was scared, and he seemed to be very angry, but it was precisely his current complex expression that made his attitude weird. Of course, the frightened expression on Xiao Ming's face is pretended, this expression belongs to Zhou Yu and Xiao Ming to be precise, Xiao Ming is really scared, Zhou Yu just makes this frightened expression more obvious. As for Xiao Ming's anger, it naturally belongs to Xiao Ming, but the problem is that Xiao Ming's anger is not because Balai is too cautious, but because of Zhou Yu.
What Xiao Ming just said was not what he wanted to say at all, but Zhou Yu directly controlled Xiao Ming's body, and then said that sentence, in fact, this is also the reason why Xiao Ming doesn't like to let Zhou Yu be in his spiritual world, and even Mo Ling has a similar idea about this matter. After all, when Mo Ling was still cooperating with Zhou Yu in the relationship between martial artists and spirit monsters, Mo Ling actually had the ability to directly control Zhou Yu's body, but Mo Ling never directly controlled what Zhou Yu did. This has nothing to do with morality, it's just that Mo Ling is used to letting Zhou Yu make decisions, at most he just gives Zhou Yu some advice.
However, everything has to be seen separately, and the important reason why Mo Ling was reluctant to interfere with some of Zhou Yu's judgments was also because what Zhou Yu did would make Mo Ling very satisfied. But this Xiao Ming is obviously not such an existence, this time they followed Balai out to do things, it is obvious that all the members of the team except Balai have been dissatisfied, and even when they see some very ordinary enemies, Balai has to retreat, such a situation can no longer be explained by caution, but should be said to be cowardice, and more importantly, if this situation continues, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the entire team.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yu will now take the initiative to "speak" a very important sentence for Xiao Ming. Just as Mo Ling doesn't like to meddle in Zhou Yu's affairs, that's because Mo Ling's character is relieved, in his world, human beings are no different from other monsters, and Zhou Yu is doing this now is also pure character relief, although now he doesn't even have a complete body, but it is natural to think about developing in the direction of team leader, not that Zhou Yu likes to enjoy the taste of power in his hands, but when a team is about to enter the danger area, he is almost subconsciously thinking about the problem with his own thinking, and then making accurate judgments about the situation in front of him。
Balai obviously didn't like Xiao Ming's move, he looked at Xiao Ming with some annoyance and said, "Withdraw!"
This sentence is said to Xiao Ming, and it is also said to the other clansmen around him, the sawtooth beast in the distance is already approaching here, if you don't run away now, you can't say that there will be a big battle. After all, the other clansmen were still under the influence of the authority of the head of the Balai family and subconsciously moved their steps to withdraw, but it was just a detour, the plain of despair is extremely vast, and there is not only one way to enter the plain, the attack power of the sawtooth beast is not bad, but the speed is slow, this defect is also an important factor affecting their overall strength.
But Xiao Ming had no intention of escaping at all, under Zhou Yu's control, Xiao Ming didn't even want to go now, and they couldn't even look back at Balai, who had begun to retreat, but in Balai's eyes, Xiao Ming was now like a bravest warrior, rushing towards the sawtooth beasts without hesitation. There were about a dozen sawtooth beasts rushing over, and the strength of the sawtooth beasts was actually maintained between the third and fourth orders as a whole, and there were almost no sawtooth beasts whose strength reached the fifth order.
However, even if this was the case, more than a dozen third- and fourth-order sawtooth beasts appeared together, and it was still unlikely that Xiao Ming would be able to cope with it himself. After all, Xiao Ming was promoted to the fourth-order strength by the awakening of bloodline power, he only has the strength but no corresponding level of combat means and experience, not to mention that Xiao Ming is now in a state of injury, if it is not for Xiao Ming's injury this time, why would these warriors of the family come to the Plain of Despair.
Balai shouted angrily: "You come back to me!" It's a pity that his words are of course useless, when Zhou Yu controls Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming himself can't break free of half a point, what can Balai do to stop it.
"Damn!" Balai continued to say angrily, but in the end he had no choice but to return to fight, he naturally wanted to continue to run with Xiao Ming, but now those sawtooth beasts were very close to them, and if they went back, they could only fight. If it was replaced by other clansmen, Balai would not pay attention to it at all when he saw that there were people who dared to challenge his authority like this, and it was already a great mercy not to kill the other party on the battlefield, but this time it was for Xiao Ming's recovery to fight, if Xiao Ming died here, the meaning of their coming to the Plain of Despair would be completely gone.
Balai was on the verge of going berserk, but he had to save Xiao Ming, but this situation made the other four demon warriors very happy, and there were only a dozen sawtooth beasts, which could finally make them move their muscles.
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly said to Xiao Ming, who had already figured it out: "Let them go, don't do it first." ”
