Chapter 15: The Northern Plains Stalemate

The Northern Plains, a giant city of Yin Liu.

This is the headquarters of the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, and the entire giant city is completely black, like a giant beast of the wilderness, quietly entrenched on the earth.

It's sunset, and there's still light.

But the Yinliu Giant City is from every brick, every tile, scattered a thick darkness, rendering the surrounding thousands of miles of land into darkness.

Especially the farther you get to the center, the closer you get to the Yin Stream Giant City, the thicker this darkness becomes.

In the midst of this rich inky black, on the square in the southeast corner of the Yin Stream Giant City, a pillar of dark green light suddenly fell.

Streamers swept across the square, reflecting the surrounding greenery. The wind swept by, and the iron lanterns in the square kept squeaking and shaking.

The streamer quickly dissipated, and two figures appeared in the originally empty square.

"If you are a foolish immortal friend, this is the Yin Stream Giant City." One of them had a withered body, like Mu Nayin, and his skin was like a fairy stiff of black iron, and he smiled to the other.

That person is also an immortal zombie, but he is wrapped in a black robe, covering his whole person in the robe, and it is Zhou Ruoyu who took the initiative to transform himself into an immortal zombie.

Now that Hei Sheng has achieved seven turns, he also took the initiative to contact an immortal zombie of the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance according to the plan, and borrowed his recommendation to join the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance.

With the help of the unique teleportation method of the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, the two of them directly teleported into the Yinliu Giant City from hundreds of thousands of miles away.

The two of them walked through the city, silent along the way, and there was not a single figure along the way.

On both sides of the long street, every few hundred steps, there are street lights. But these street lamps all emit a faint and weak firelight, which can only reflect a distance of dozens of steps. Between the street lamps and the street lamps, there is a long period of darkness, which makes the giant city even more dark and empty.

The huge Yinliu City seems to be an empty city.

But faintly, there will still be some noisy noises coming from below the giant city.

"This is the base camp of our Zombie Alliance in the Northern Plains, as huge as a mountain. It is divided into seven floors, and the bottom five floors are the residences of mortal Gu masters, which are very lively. On the next floor, there are people who have some relationship with the immortals. On the highest floor, there is a council hall, and there are three seven-turn immortal zombies stationed all year round. He Xiang briefly introduced Zhou Ruoyu.

Zhou Ruoyu nodded, the Zombie Alliance was not an organization that only had immortal-level members, but covered mortal Gu masters.

It's just that most of these Gu masters take the dark path, raising corpses, driving corpses, and even transforming into zombies.

Zhou Ruoyu didn't care about these mortals, he didn't care much about the immortal zombies in the Zombie Alliance, and even the three Seven Transformation Immortal Zombies, the only thing worthy of his slight attention was the leader of the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance.

However, the eight-turn immortal zombie named the Burning Sky Witch had left Beiyuan decades ago and went to the headquarters of the Zombie Alliance in the East China Sea, and it had no impact on Zhou Ruoyu's plan at present.

The two walked for a moment, seeing no one, and came to the door of a large hall.

"You push the door." He Fang gave in sideways and said in a deep voice: "As long as you can push open this gate, you are qualified to join the Stalemate." ”

Zhou Ruoyu silently stretched out his arms, put them on the door, and pushed open a crack in the door with a slight force.

Immediately, three eyes shot along the crack in the door towards Zhou Ruoyu.

Zhou Ruoyu narrowed his eyes, then took a deep breath, pushed it forward, and pushed the door open completely.

He Fang laughed and patted Zhou Ruoyu on the shoulder: "If you can open this gate, it proves that you are from our Northern Plains." Come on, I'll take you to get the identity token first, and then go to see the mission list to familiarize yourself with the affairs of our impasse. ”

Zhou Ruoyu opened his mouth and smiled, and followed He Fang into the door.

There was something magical about the door to this council hall, and he knew it for a long time.

It is said that the gate was made by the sage who founded the Kitahara Stalemate, whose name is no longer verifiable, but the means used are indeed ingenious.

The gate was covered with all kinds of dao marks, and some people even speculated that they had used consumable immortal Gus.

Only the immortal zombie of the northern plains can be recognized by this gate and can be easily promoted.

If it weren't for the people who ascended to the Immortals of the Northern Plains, the Immortal Aperture World contained the qi of heaven and earth in other regions, and as soon as the hand was put on it, it was estimated that it would be shocked out. If it was just a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, but it was not an immortal, this gate would be heavier than the mountain range, and it would not be able to push open a single crack in life or death.

Even the Eighth Turning Powerful Medicine Emperor once used an extremely profound method to disguise himself as an immortal zombie and deceived everyone in the Zombie Alliance at that time, but he was still blocked in front of this door and could not push the door to enter.

In the end, the Medicine Emperor couldn't come in, so he had to laugh, withdraw the means, and confess the truth.

Although he coaxed everyone first, his prestige was extremely high, and his cultivation was extremely strong, and no immortal zombie dared to make it difficult for him. In the end, he politely sent him back.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ruoyu must really become an immortal.

Although Zhou Ruoyu is from Zhongzhou, he ascended to immortality in the Northern Plains, and now he is a genuine immortal, so this gate cannot constitute an obstacle for him.

Otherwise, Zhou Ruoyu would have no means to bypass this gate and sneak into the Beiyuan Stalemate.

The two walked into the door, but they were greeted by the scrutiny of the three wills, and just now Zhou Ruoyu pushed the door open, and the three eyes that swept over were issued by these three wills.

"Where to meet the three adults of Yin Liugong, Yaksha Longshuai, and Huangquan Weng." He Fang was the first to salute.

Zhou Ruoyu also hurriedly said: "Meet the three adults Yin Liugong, Yaksha Longshuai, and Huangquan Weng." ”

These three wills are the three Seven Transformation Gu Immortals in the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, who are second only to the leader in status, and now that the Burning Sky Witch is not in the Northern Plains, it is the three of them who preside over the overall situation of the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance.

However, they all have their own affairs, and it is impossible to stay in the Yin Current Giant City all the time, and they usually leave their own wills, and if there is any problem, the body can immediately know and rush over.

After a brief interrogation of Zhou Ruoyu, the three wills accepted him, not because the structure of the Beiyuan Deadlock Alliance was loose, but because Zhou Ruoyu passed through that gate, which itself was the most powerful investigative method of the Beiyuan Deadlock.

The three Seven Transformation Immortals stiffened Zhou Ruoyu a few words, and then instructed He Fang to take him to complete the following procedures. The two of them retired, and Zhou Ruoyu followed He Fang to another hall and received the zombie token.

This token not only represents identity, but also records Zhou Ruoyu's personal contribution to the Zombie Alliance.

In addition to tokens, there is also a set of channel Gu, which is used to communicate, transmit major information about the stalemate mission, or the member joins, the member quits, or the member dies.

He Fang smiled: "On a normal day, we can issue tokens or receive some ordinary tasks, view our contributions, and exchange our contributions for what we want." ”

"At the same time, we also hold regular meetings within the Deadlock, and at each meeting, we will discuss recent events, release and assign some more important tasks, and these tasks usually have a relatively high contribution value."

Zhou Ruoyu refined the token, his will probed into it, glanced at it roughly, and couldn't help frowning: "Isn't there a task related to the gutter black oil?" ”

He Fang couldn't help but laugh and said: "The task of collecting gutter black oil is a task that must be fought for at every meeting, how can it be seen in ordinary times?" ”

Zhou Ruoyu was dumbfounded, and immediately nodded to show understanding.

The Shadow Stream Giant City sits above the entrance to a huge trench, and is guarded here with the greatest strength of the Zombie Alliance, collecting large quantities of black oil every year for its own use and sale.

Black oil is extremely helpful for immortal stiffness. Sprinkled black oil in the Blessed Land of the Dead Knows will slow down the disintegration of the blessed land. In the outside world, for other Gu Immortals, it is also an extremely versatile Gu refining material, and the market is vast.

Although a large amount of black oil is sold every year, there are fixed sellers. With few goods and a lot of demand, it is completely a seller's market, which is the most important business project of the Deadlock.

And every time he goes deep into the ditch and collects the black oil, in addition to the share handed over, he will always intercept a copy that belongs to him. The benefits of this task are recognized as the best among the immortals.

Therefore, it is scrambled by almost everyone.

Many times, in order to snatch the quota for the task of collecting black oil, the Gu Immortals not only did not receive any contribution points, but also had to hand over hundreds of additional contributions to the Zombie Alliance.

From this, it can be seen how rich the oil and water of this black oil collection is.

However, Zhou Ruoyu asked this way, not for the black oil, but because the secret treasure he wanted to find was in this ditch.

If you go deep into the trench under the pretext of collecting black oil, it is undoubtedly a good excuse and will not arouse suspicion.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't have this reason, there are still a lot of tasks related to the ditch in the stalemate, and Zhou Ruoyu can choose another task and then blend into the ditch.

Zhou Ruoyu thought about it, and listened to He Fangdao: "If you are a fool of immortals, if you really want to fight for the task of black oil, it is not impossible, after seven days, it will be the day of the regular meeting, you can try to fight for it at this meeting." ”

"That's good." Zhou Ruoyu smiled and nodded.

The two exchanged a few more words, and because he still had a task, he said goodbye and left first.

Zhou Ruoyu didn't leave in a hurry, but read all the tasks shown in the token again, picked a task that was not too troublesome, took it, and walked around the Yinliu Giant City again, and then left and went to do the task.

He decided to wait a few days, wait until the meeting was held, and get a suitable task from the meeting to go into the trench.

So before that, it is natural to do enough drama and show what a six-turn little immortal zombie who has just joined the Stalemate should look like.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Ruoyu returned to the Yinliu Giant City on time, and there were already more than twenty figures in the council hall, either immortal zombie himself, or a will. In this large hall of the council hall, it seems quite scattered.

Yin Liugong, Yaksha Long Shuai, and Huangquan Weng are also not real people here, and the three wills saw that people were almost here, so they began to hold a meeting.

After discussing the necessary things, after each immortal zombie reported the task, he came to the release task link that Zhou Ruoyu was interested in.

Just listen to the tasks of Yin Liugong one by one: feeding the ancient desolate beast Half-Moon Qilin, collecting Ruyi mushrooms, purchasing glazed soil, drilling soil, capturing beasts, conditioning medicine fields, and the most popular Gu Immortals collecting black oil, etc.

Zhou Ruoyu wanted to compete in the task of collecting black oil, but unfortunately he did not contribute enough, so he could only regret giving up.

However, he also discovered another task, which was to go deep into the trench to collect the saliva.

The difficulty of this task is not well judged, and it has certain difficulties for sixth-turn Gu Immortals, and the same is true for seventh-turn Gu Immortals.

The crustal snail is a wild beast that lives in the very deep depths of the ditch, and is only suitable for survival there.

The crustal snail has a docile temperament, and it is not difficult to approach it, and even standing on its back and making a slight attack on it will not make this wild beast angry.

The danger is that the crustal snail is not the only creature in the trench.

The deeper you go into the ditch, all kinds of beasts, weird plants, and wild Gu insects abound.

The trench is unfathomable, and the part of the earth's crust where snails live must be at least 10,000 miles from the surface. Around the crustal snail, there are many powerful beasts, groups of wild beasts, and even ancient wild beasts are not uncommon.

These beast plants are the main threat.

Therefore, if you are lucky and you can't meet a threatening Mengbeast plant, then the difficulty of this task is very low, if you are unlucky and you encounter an ancient desolate beast, then the six-turn Gu Immortal can only escape with his life if he near-misses death.

It is precisely because of this that this task makes the immortals have some concerns, and the competition is not fierce.

Zhou Ruoyu immediately made a decisive move and took over this task.

There were also two six-turn immortals who took over the task with him, Zhou Ruoyu didn't care, as long as he could enter the trench smoothly, the other problems would be easy to solve.

Three days later, Zhou Ruoyu and the other two six-turn immortal zombies who took over the task, according to the arrangement of the zombie alliance, crossed the entrance and went deep into the ditch.

Trenches are not unique to the Northern Plains, in fact, trenches exist in all five domains.

The earth cracked into ravines, some of which stretched for thousands of miles, and some of which were millions of zhang deep, and which was bottomless, was one of the most majestic and magnificent natural wonders in the Gu Master world.

The ditch of the Deadlock League has always been strictly controlled by the Deadlock Alliance. When the Burning Sky Witch is not in the Northern Plains, the three Seven Turning Immortals, Yin Liugong, Yaksha Long Shuai, and Huangquan Weng, will send at least one to guard the entrance of the ditch.

The ditch is rich in resources, there are many wild beasts, and the reason why the Yinliu Giant City was built in this place was to occupy the rich resource point of the ditch.

Therefore, other forces or scattered immortals cannot enter this ditch at will, otherwise once discovered, it will be regarded as an invasion of the Deadlock Alliance.

And the immortals within the Zombie Alliance, if they want to enter the trench, they also need to be approved, and according to the arrangement of the Zombie Alliance, they can enter the trench through the entrance of the Yin Stream Giant Town Pressure.

The giant ditch opened silently in the thick darkness like the bloody jaws of a vicious beast.

The three of them threw themselves into it, and the ravine gradually expanded, dozens of times, hundreds of times.

After flying down for half a pillar of incense, the inside of the trench was already vast enough to fit seventy or eighty Yin Flow Giant Cities.

It was deep and dark, with only a glimmer of light.

Most of the cliffs on both sides are bare and steep, with only a few tiny needle-pricked plants, dotted like sesame seeds.

How deep this trench is, no one knows.

Even the immortals who had controlled this place for so many years had never explored the true bottom of the trench.

Although the ditch is rich in resources, the number of desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts is shocking. The Northern Plains Deadlock Alliance Branch, without any more strength to enter, can only do its best to control the area closest to the surface of the 50,000 zhang.

The three of them gradually went deeper, and the ditch showed a huge space, reflecting the insignificance of the three people's figures.

When I got here, I was already 30,000 zhang away from the surface. The mountains can't fill the ditches here, and the endless darkness quietly swallows everything.

The three of them were silent, using their own reconnaissance methods to probe the dangers around them.

After another period of silence, there was a sudden undercurrent surging ahead, and a gloomy aura came.

The faces of the three of them changed in unison, and they saw a Yaksha octopus in front of them, staggering closer.

The Yaksha octopus is half-human, half-beast. The upper body is a majestic man, muscular and dark, hard as steel. The lower body is dozens of octopus tentacles, which replace the role of the legs.

The ordinary Yaksha octopus is a wild beast, and its combat power is very strong and should not be underestimated.

The two six-turn immortals were cautious, they knew that the Yaksha octopus mostly lived in groups, and if they provoked one, a group would run over. None of the Seven Turns Gu Immortals dared to provoke easily, let alone the three of them who were small Six Turns.

Zhou Ruoyu secretly said that there was a good opportunity in his heart, and he quietly used a secret wisdom trick to attract the attention of the Yaksha octopus, stimulate its ferocity, and make him notice his side and immediately rush towards this side.

"Oops, how can it be ......" These were the words of one of the immortals who were shocked.

"Retreat, don't attack it......" was the exclamation of another immortal.

But it was too late. I saw Zhou Ruoyu pretending to be flustered, and smashed it at the Yaksha octopus that hit him with a killing move.

The Yaksha octopus was caught off guard and was immediately screamed, fierce, and attacked the three of them.

At this moment, the two immortals were too late to hide, so they could only be forced to fight, but a strong sense of crisis rose in their hearts.

Soon, the three of them felt a stirring in the distance, and they saw a school of octopuses rushing towards this side, with eight desolate beast octopuses, and an octopus king, with the combat power of seven turn Gu immortals.

The two immortal zombies were so frightened that their faces changed, and they glared at Zhou Ruoyu fiercely, and one of them shouted: "The situation is dangerous, even if the three of us work together, we can't resist it, we will all die here." It's better to scatter and flee, and live and die with their own destiny! ”

After that, the immortal zombie did not hesitate to leave first.

Seeing this, the other immortal was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned around and fled, not even saying a word to Zhou Ruoyu.

Zhou Ruoyu naturally wouldn't stay here and wait for death, so he immediately chose a completely different direction from the other two immortals and fled quickly.

"Finally got rid of the two of them, and now, it's time to get moving."

After a period of chasing and escaping, Zhou Ruoyu, who had performed several immortal killing moves in a row, finally got rid of the group of yaksha octopuses, quietly approached in the direction of his goal.
