Chapter 237: Refining Gan Ning! Conquering the Corpse Witch! The Methods of the Ancient Poison Master!
Damn it!
I fell into the trap again!
This is a trap!
The moment Skeleton Gan Ning was sucked into the sarcophagus.
He realized that he had fallen into Jia Xu's trap.
There is a world inside the sarcophagus!
When Gan Ning entered the sarcophagus.
He found that the space inside was not narrow but rather quite open.
This is a dark place, where the naked eye is useless. There is a solid touch under the feet, and the whole place is like a dark secret room with a large space and covered by a curtain.
"Welcome to my private domain." Jia Xu's voice echoed in the space.
Skeleton Gan Ning clenched the double blades in his hands: "Don't hide your head and show your tail! Come out and fight me!"
Although he was defeated by Jia Xu before, he did not think that his strength was inferior to the other party. The main reason why Jia Xu was able to win at that time was that he absorbed the energy of the formation.
Normal singles will never lose!
"This is the space I temporarily opened up with the abyss sarcophagus. Because this space does not exist in the plane we are in, and because I have some means of covering up the breath to conceal the secrets of heaven, even your lord cannot bring his vision here at this moment."
Jia Xu said to himself: "And your shadow jumping in this space is meaningless!"
This warlock can actually block the lord's perception and gaze?
If he uses this space to seal himself, it will be difficult to get out.
Without the powerful combat power of the dead bone Gan Ning, the threat to the front-line troops of the Corpse Witch Territory will be reduced a lot, at least the threat to the human territory and human troops will be greatly reduced.
Without waiting for careful thinking.
A figure attacked from behind.
It was Su Fei who followed in. He was still controlled by thin lines that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. These almost invisible thin lines that could not be cut by ordinary means were vertically connected to the invisible void above.
The whole space seemed to have become a stage for puppet show.
Jia Xu was the puppeteer standing outside the stage, looking down at the puppets on the stage. Everything in this space seemed to be his toys and under his control.
"Xingba, be careful!"
Su Fei made a powerful and heavy slash, knocking Gan Ning back ten meters, and his armor shattered.
He couldn't stand still.
The attack came again.
Although the strength of the skeleton Gan Ning was far superior to that of the skeleton Su Fei, Gan Ning's character of valuing friendship and loyalty would not allow him to kill his best friend who had saved him, especially when this best friend was still conscious.
After dozens of rounds of fighting.
Su Fei did not suffer much damage.
On the contrary, Gan Ning was seriously injured and his situation was getting worse and worse.
"Xingba, what are you hesitating about? From the moment I was captured, I have become a burden to the territory!"
Su Fei kept persuading him: "Your ability is ten times greater than mine, your strength is ten times greater than mine, you are more valuable to the lord, you must survive at all costs! Kill me! Do it now!"
"Bullshit, you are Su Fei, not the lord's lackey, let alone the territory's tool!" Gan Ning was completely broken and furious when he heard this, "You are my brother Gan Ning! You are my only friend in the world!"
Another knife.
Gan Ning fell to the ground.
The injury was more serious.
But compared to the physical injury.
Gan Ning only felt that his heart, which had long ceased to exist, was more injured.
Su Fei once again condensed a powerful blade, and this knife directly attacked Gan Ning's face.
Although he was seriously injured.
But it was not difficult to avoid this attack.
But Gan Ning obviously had no desire to survive at this moment.
Over the years, he has never been able to get rid of the shadow of his past life. It is only the relatives and friends sleeping in the burial ground, plus Su Fei, who has always been inseparable, that have allowed him to accept the reality and continue to survive.
At this moment.
He knew that he had been deceived by the lord.
The old friend who was transformed into dead bones and sleeping in the burial ground.
He had long lost his humanity and memory, and was completely transformed into a subordinate servant of the lord.
As for his good brother Su Fei?
He has also completely changed!
He has almost lost his humanity and dignity, and also lost the friendship that once swore him to death!
If Su Fei gave up his life to let Gan Ning live out of true brotherhood, then Gan Ning might accept this kindness and kill him, and then avenge this brother at all costs and to the best of his ability.
In this way.
Even if it costs everything!
He will kill Jia Xu to avenge his hatred.
Let this man who treated them as toys and caused brothers to kill each other pay the price!
But
Su Fei gave up on himself.
Not out of brotherly love.
Just out of absolute loyalty to the lord!
He just thought Gan Ning was more useful than Su Fei, and just thought he was a burden to the territory, so he was willing to die in Gan Ning's hands.
This was obviously unacceptable to Gan Ning!
Su Fei was loyal to Xie Ming and was even willing to sacrifice his life for the territory, but what was he to those corpse demons? He was nothing more than a slightly higher-level consumable!
Xie Ming deceived everyone.
Why should we serve him?
This damn corpse demon is not worthy of him at all!
At this moment, Gan Ning hated Xie Ming even more than Jia Xu!
Because although Jia Xu treated the two of them as toys and played with them at will, Jia Xu had a completely different stance from the corpse witch leader after all. As the saying goes, the strong prey on the weak and the winners lose. There is nothing to complain about being enemies!
Xie Ming is different!
Gan Ning has had enough of the current situation!
He is even more fed up with groveling to aliens.
If he had the ability to swing a knife at Xie Ming, he would not hesitate, but as a lower-level servant and bound by the star mark, he could not pose a threat to Xie Ming.
That's it!
Let everything end here!
After all, they were brothers in the past!
Even if he had long lost his humanity.
I can't do it to my brother.
Gan Ning lost his will to live, and stopped resisting or hiding.
Because compared to being enslaved and dying by the lord, dying in Su Fei's hands at this moment is a good ending!
When life becomes boring, death is a relief.
The only regret is that there is no place to vent the accumulated resentment!
Just as Gan Ning was ready to die, something he didn't expect happened. The blade that could have split him in half suddenly stopped less than half a foot in front of him.
Why not kill!
Gan Ning was confused.
Suddenly heard a sigh.
"You two are also admirable heroes."
"Unfortunately, you have been teased by fate and have fallen to this point."
Jia Xu suddenly walked out of the darkness where he was hiding.
Gan Ning was shocked. Although he had fought with Jia Xu a few days ago, Jia Xu was still in the form of a ghost sorcerer at that time, but at this moment he appeared in front of him in the form of a normal human.
There was no concealment of the breath.
Both are Overlords of the Abyss.
Ji Yin Jia Xu is a first-class Overlord.
And Skeleton Gan Ning is just an entry-level Overlord.
What's more, Jia Xu is already level 30 and in his prime.
Skeleton Gan Ning has been in a damaged state after a series of battles.
The difference in strength between the two sides is huge!
Gan Ning realized that Jia Xu was far more terrible than he had imagined. He had no chance of winning from the beginning, and being trapped in this space, he couldn't even escape.
"What do you want to do?"
Gan Ning only felt that this man was extremely terrible.
But he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
"I won't kill the righteous, but after all, you are enemies. It's really difficult for me to let you go."
Jia Xu looked embarrassed: "Why don't you choose for yourself? One of the two can live, and you can decide who lives and who dies!"
With a wave of his hand.
The puppet filament disappeared.
He released the controlled puppet.
Su Fei felt that his body had returned to normal.
"This..." Gan Ning was stunned for a moment. He never thought that he had an absolute advantage and could end the battle quickly, so why did he have to do so many tricks and tricks.
Just to play with people's hearts?
Just for fun?
Forget about brothers killing each other.
At this moment, the choice of who lives and who dies is given to the two.
Is he trying to play with human nature and try to take the opportunity to provoke them to turn against each other, or does he want to watch them compete for death in a farce?
How insidious and despicable.
The bad taste is exposed.
"You bastard! I don't care! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!" How could Gan Ning tolerate such an insult, so he stood up with difficulty, "Su Fei, don't fall into the trap, you and I will fight him to death together!"
Gan Ning's soul fire burned violently.
Even if he died, he could only choose to die in battle, not this humiliating way!
Although he knew that he would most likely not be able to beat Jia Xu, he would never be willing to be manipulated and played by him like this!
Su Fei obviously didn't think so. When he was controlled by Jia Xu, he could clearly feel how terrible this human warlock was.
You can say that.
With his own strength.
It's meaningless in front of him.
Even Gan Ning couldn't be his opponent.
What's more, Gan Ning was already seriously injured at this moment?
If they fought head-on, he would die without a doubt, and there would be no accidents!
It's better to grasp the glimmer of hope that may exist, even if this glimmer of hope is slim and unreliable, it's better than no hope!
Su Fei: "You keep your word!"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "I have no other advantages, but I am moral and trustworthy!"
"Okay! I die! Xingba, you must live!"
Su Fei took a last look at Gan Ning who was struggling to get up. The soul fire in his eyes seemed to have recovered a bit of humanity. He immediately turned the big knife and beheaded himself cleanly. His body shattered into pieces, and the soul fire quickly dissipated like a candle in the wind.
From then on.
No more dead skeletons Su Fei.
"No!" Gan Ning could only roar before he could stop.
Jia Xu sighed, "What a brave man who is willing to die. Since your good brother died for you, I will keep my promise and let you live."
Gan Ning is a man who values friendship and loyalty.
He regards friends and brothers as more important than his life.
Now his best friend is dying in front of him.
This kind of life that is given by charity and the survival in exchange for friends is ten thousand times more painful for Gan Ning than death. When the endless pain, powerlessness, anger, unwillingness, and confusion are accumulated, it is enough to completely break a string in his heart and produce a death will!
Jia Xu summoned an exit, "You can go now. I will let you go this time, but you won't be so lucky next time. After all, you only have such a good brother who is willing to exchange his life for you!"
He really made a plan to fulfill his promise and let him go.
But will Gan Ning just leave like this?
Obviously not!
As expected.
Gan Ning was silent for a few seconds and then said in a deep voice: "Since your secret method can control Su Fei, can you also use it to control me!"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you want to do?"
"Revenge!"
"So you want to kill me?"
"Although I want to kill you, I have more beasts I want to kill!"
Gan Ning's eyes were burning with soul fire: "That group of corpses from the stars are the culprits. It is they who turned me into what I am now. I don't want to live now. I just want to have a good time before I die!"
"Oh, you want to avenge yourself, Su Fei, and the people of Jiangxia County?"
Jia Xu pretended to be enlightened: "But after all, you are restricted by the suppression of the territory and have no way to fight the corpses, so I want to borrow my ability to help you."
"I I think this is exactly what you and the lord behind you want to see! Although my power is not as good as yours, I can still play a role to some extent! "
"Of course I can help you!"
Jia Xu nodded and said: "But I have two puppet secrets."
"The first is the Extreme Yin Domination Secret. The advantage of this method is that it can quickly and simultaneously control multiple targets in battle, but the disadvantage is that it cannot control the existence of the same status, so it cannot be used on you."
"The second is the Extreme Yin Soul Refining Secret. This method can control the existence of your level, and it can ignore the distance. However, the casting process is quite troublesome and requires the active cooperation of the recipient. Once the puppet spell is activated, it will be irreversible, and you will always be a puppet under my control."
Two puppet secrets.
Jia Xu had used them before.
The former is the puppet string.
Jia Xu used this secret when controlling the acolyte and the secret guards in Xinwan and controlling Su Fei. This technique can quickly complete the control and control the enemy for his own use during the battle.
However, with Jia Xu's current strength, this technique can only control the commander-level existence of the same level at most. If the status and level are the same as or even higher than his own, it is difficult to carry out effective and stable control.
In addition.
The characteristics of the technique are too obvious.
Even a fool can see that he is being dominated.
The latter is not the case, and the manifestation is more hidden.
Jia Xu has not used the extremely Yin soul refining secret technique.
At the beginning, the Luoshui area had just been developed to the Wancheng map, and he immediately felt it through his perception ability, so he immediately sent one of his disciples, He Song, to scout and contact.
When he sensed that He Song was in danger and was about to be killed.
Jia Xu triggered the soul refining secret technique restriction in He Song's body, thereby directly controlling He Song's body from a distance. For a period of time, he contacted and communicated with Lord Hang Yu in the body of this disciple.
If the domination secret technique is temporary control.
Then the soul refining secret technique is to create a permanent puppet.
The latter is extremely difficult to perform. Unless the recipient is willing, the probability of failure is very high.
So that's it!
Gan Ning finally understood!
He had been in Jia Xu's trap from the beginning to the end!
This guy had a comprehensive plan and began to set up a trap step by step when he saw him for the first time!
At that time in Xinwan.
It was not that Jia Xu, in ghost form, had no chance to kill Gan Ning.
However, Jia Xu did not make any relevant attempts, but deliberately let him escape, because at that time, although he was 50% to 60% sure of killing him, he did not have the ability to capture him for the time being, let alone the ability to refine him into a puppet.
However.
He caught the skeleton Su Fei.
But he was already preparing for the next step.
In a few days, Jia Xu reshaped his body, restored his strength, and also made a new round of plans.
At this moment, Gan Ning seemed to take the initiative to make a request.
In fact, all of this was the inevitable result of Jia Xu's arrangement.
When Gan Ning realized this, he had a creepy feeling. It was just a short contact, but he saw through him completely!
Not only that.
This terrible guy.
Predicted all his reactions.
His precise insight into human nature, his control and prediction of human nature, and his cunning and unscrupulous strategies all made people feel cold from the soul.
Jia Xu still smiled: "Have you thought about it? I don't like to force others!"
Although he has realized it.
All this is his plan.
Jia Xu didn't even hide it!
But what can Gan Ning do at this moment?
Should he go back and continue to be a dog for the corpse demons?
He can't find the meaning and motivation to survive.
He doesn't want to continue to live in this identity.
Now he just wants to take revenge on the corpse demon leader, for himself, Su Fei and all the people of Jiangxia!
Let the corpse demon lord who led tens of thousands of innocent people astray with lies and temptations pay the price!
Let those guys who treat their people as lower-level slaves see the anger that they have accumulated for many years and can't wait to vent!
Frustrated!
Too frustrated!
This kind of frustration did not form in one or two days!
It just reached its peak at this moment, just like a flood and a volcano needing to be released!
So!
He just wanted to vent!
Even though he knew that he was being used by Jia Xu.
Even though he knew that he would become Jia Xu's puppet.
But this was the only chance.
As long as the goal can be achieved!
Only Jia Xu can help him achieve his goal!
"I, Gan Ning, have never owed anyone a favor, and I don't need anyone's charity to survive. As long as you can help me achieve my goal and let me have a good time in the end, I will give you this body as a thank you gift!"
Jia Xu was very satisfied.
The goal has been achieved.
He then began to arrange the ceremony.
He planted a puppet soul refining talisman for Gan Ning.
This puppet talisman is very hidden. As long as Jia Xu does not activate the spell, Gan Ning is no different from usual, so he can let him return to the enemy camp first and activate this chess piece at a critical moment.
And this is the key chess piece that Jia Xu prepared to deal with Xie Ming.
…
An hour later.
Jia Xu returned to Shansang City, and he was extremely exhausted. He was exhausted from arranging Gan Ning as a chess piece.
It was really hard!
I really want to lie down completely!
But after this meritorious service.
I should be able to lie down and be a salted fish for a while.
The lord is magnanimous.
He will definitely understand the hard work of his subjects!
At this time, Zhang Zhongjing launched various recovery-type alchemy techniques for him, and with the effect of taking recovery-type elixirs, Jia Xu quickly recovered and could move forward with the next plan.
"Military Advisor!"
The demons and monsters found Jia Xu.
She was arranged to follow the army to attack Shangting Township.
Now that she appeared here, it was estimated that it had been successfully conquered, and the result was indeed as expected!
"General Wen and General Zhou are back!"
The ghosts and monsters reported: "We have successfully conquered Shangting Township and Shankou Village Blessing Points, and the Corpse Witch Leader's troops did not put up too much resistance."
Jia Xu was not surprised at all.
It was all within his prediction.
Wen Pin and Zhou Cang led a large number of Canglong Guards and the newly formed Tiger Eagle troops to attack aggressively. It was impossible to defend these two blessing points with their defensive capabilities and limited manpower.
Unless Xie Ming personally came to the scene.
He would not take this risk.
It was not worth it for two low-level blessing points.
The Corpse Witch Leader would definitely shrink the troops and concentrate their forces in Huangmei Township.
The advantage of doing so is to preserve the living force, and then use retreat to advance to consolidate the frontline fortress, and use this to drive a nail into the Woniu Mountain of the Human Race Leader, and use the defensive advantage to engage in a consumption confrontation with the Human Race territory.
But.
In this way.
It completely fell into Jia Xu's layout.
After the Corpse Witch Leader lost Shangting Township and Shankou Village.
At least in the short term, it is impossible to establish other transmission nodes in Woniu Mountain.
Huangmei Township is now equivalent to a tightly tied pocket. After the soldiers stationed in it are trapped in the pocket, they will not have the opportunity to escape for a period of time in the future.
And this.
is the basis for fighting an effective annihilation war!
Even if the defense is relatively solid and a large number of troops are gathered, there is no retreat route, and it seems to be very close to the Corpse Witch Territory.
But as long as the offensive is fierce and fast enough.
The Corpse Witch Territory’s troops will not have time to reinforce.
A few minutes later, Jia Xu, Wen Pin, Zhou Cang, Zhang Zhongjing, and the representatives of the Natural Disaster Army, Ye Limeng, and the Demons and Ghosts, gathered in the Lord’s Hall again for a meeting.
Wen Pin said: "We have successfully captured two blessing points according to your deployment. Now there is only one stronghold in Huangmei Township controlled by the Corpse Witch Leader!"
Zhou Cang also said: "Although there is only one stronghold left, there are a large number of star buildings in Huangmei Township, and many traps and formations have been built. The number of troops is at least 7,000 to 8,000."
"Even with our strength, it is difficult to break it in a short time. If we fail to break the city quickly, the reinforcements of the Corpse Witch may take advantage of the opportunity to enter and threaten Shansang City."
Ye Limeng and Chimei Wangliang looked solemn.
They all realized that the next part was the highlight.
This will be a very hard bone to chew and a very difficult battle!
Zhang Zhongjing asked: "How to break the situation?"
Jia Xu took a sip of tea leisurely, "This situation has been broken, why break it again? I think you can book a celebration banquet at the Kiba Hotel in advance, I think we should be able to use it tonight!"
Others were confused.
The real battle has just begun!
With the solidity of Huangmei Township and the deployment of troops, it would not be surprising even if the siege lasted for ten days or half a month.
Jia Xu was good.
The battle has not even started yet.
The enemy's situation is unknown.
He actually asked to book the celebration banquet in the evening first.
"Military Advisor Jia, this celebration banquet is a small matter. As long as we can take back Huangmei Township, remove the nails of the Corpse Witch Leader, and help our Natural Disaster Army, the War God Temple Corps is willing to undertake all the expenses of the celebration banquet, and you will be satisfied!"
Ye Limeng paused and continued: "The problem is that we haven't even started yet, it's too hasty to book a celebration banquet so soon. With my shallow life experience, the behavior of opening Du Kang in the first half is not a good habit!"
Jia Xu put down the teacup: "Okay, then we will take down Huangmei Township first, and it's still in time to go back and celebrate."
Everyone looked at each other.
Look at the attitude of this military advisor.
Huangmei Township is already in the bag.
The Corpse Witch Lord and the 7,000 Corpse Witch Leader's elite army, plus more than a dozen star buildings, hundreds of formations, countless traps and other fortifications are all dirt chickens and pottery dogs.
Jia Xu didn't keep it a secret.
He also wanted to get it done as soon as possible and go back to lie down.
He casually took out three white chess pieces from the chessboard in the hall.
"Although Huangmei Township has not been occupied by the Corpse Witch Lord for a long time, it has now become quite defensive due to the Corpse Witch Lord's investment at all costs."
"It is difficult to break through from the outside in a short time."
"Even if we can break the defense with our strength, we will still face a fierce battle."
"In the end, even if we can win, we will suffer a lot of casualties."
"I think this kind of victory is definitely not what you want, and it will not satisfy the Lord."
Hearing this.
Ye Limeng and Chimei Wangliang breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the military advisor is not unaware of the enemy and our situation.
Jia Xu placed the three chess pieces on the chessboard one by one.
"I plan to divide the troops in the Woniu Mountain area into three."
"The first route will be led by General Zhou and will directly attack Huangmei Township to attract the attention of the Huangmei Township defenders from the front. It is enough to create pressure, and there is no need to force an attack to achieve results."
"As for the second route, General Wen will lead the troops to stay in Shansang and be ready to start the blessing point transmission at any time!"
Everyone has a lot of questions after hearing this.
Wen Pin said: "The troops I lead are far away in Shansang City. Although Shansang City can be guaranteed to be safe, it will take at least half an hour to reach the battlefield to fight through the blessing point closest to Huangmei Township in time."
"In this way, if the front line is in an emergency, the troops led by General Zhou may face a situation of being isolated and helpless."
Ye Limeng and Chimei Wangliang also thought that Jia Xu's arrangement was very strange.
Since they are going to fight, why not let Zhou Cang and Wen Pin go together?
Only when the two generals work together can they have both offense and defense.
Only by joining forces can they form a deterrent.
The demons and monsters could not help but ask: "General Wen leads one army, General Zhou leads another army, there are only two armies here, so where is the third army?"
Jia Xu did not answer Wen Pin's question immediately.
He put the third chess piece on the chessboard.
"This third army is not in Shansang City. They are now in the heart of the enemy camp. Making good use of this army is the key to our victory in this battle and reducing casualties!"
Ye Limeng's eyes widened: "The third army is already in the enemy camp? Could it be that the natural disaster army is what the military advisor is talking about!"
"That's right!"
Jia Xu nodded: "To be honest with you, in fact, the Qiyun skill I awakened can just restrain the enemy sorcerer and invalidate the magic he casts."
"In other words, I can break the seal on the natural disaster army at any time. This is why I am not in a hurry to rescue them, but let them be imprisoned in Huangmei Township."
When hearing this.
Everyone widened their eyes.
I felt as if my brain was hit by lightning.
Is this why Jia Xu did not rescue the Scourge Army?
The capture of the Scourge Army was a major setback, but Jia Xu took advantage of this setback and drove the Scourge Army into the heart of the enemy.
In this way!
It all connected!
On the first route, Zhou Cang's troops were attacking head-on, but they were actually feinting to attract attention.
The second route, Wen Pin's troops stayed in Shansang City, ostensibly to defend against ambush, but in fact they were preparing to attack Huanglong.
The key is the third route.
This route is the Scourge Army.
Jia Xu will break the seal on the Scourge Army, allowing this large-scale Scourge Army to revive in Huangmei Township, which is equivalent to a surprise force that the Corpse Witch Leader could never have imagined.
Jia Xu ordered:
"Captain Ye, I know you have a way to contact the sealed Scourge Army, so please make sure these Scourge Army soldiers are prepared in advance!"
"Once the Scourge Army is awakened, at all costs, seize the Huangmei Township Blessing Point as quickly as possible!"
"This will paralyze most of the star buildings in Huangmei Township!"
"When the Huangmei Township Blessing Point is recaptured, the troops led by General Wen Pin will immediately teleport from Shansang City to Huangmei Township, and then consolidate the defense line around the Blessing Point to provide cover for the Scourge Army."
"Be sure to keep the Blessing Point firmly in your hands."
"Prevent it from being recaptured by the Corpse Witch Leader."
"General Wen and General Zhou will work together to cover the blockade but do not have to engage in fighting. The Scourge Army can use the advantage of immortality to repeatedly shuttle and charge to eliminate the enemy's living forces!"
"..."
After listening to Jia Xu's arrangements in detail.
Ye Limeng and Chimei Wangliang couldn't help but open their mouths.
From taking advantage of the defeat and capture of the Scourge Army, to retaking two blessing points to block the Corpse Witch Leader's retreat, to a series of arrangements and various detailed operations.
This is to leave no chance for the Corpse Witch Leader to survive!
Under such a layout.
The Corpse Witch Leader's defense is useless.
Because once the blessing points are recaptured by humans.
Most of the Star Buildings will also lose their function!
The Scourge Army can also use the resurrection of Shansang City and the direct transmission of the blessing points in Huangmei Township, so as to invest a steady stream of living forces, and then add Wen Pin and Zhou Cang to encircle them from inside and outside.
Under Jia Xu's layout.
Huangmei Township has become a big millstone!
Once the Corpse Witch Leader's troops are trapped in the millstone, there is almost no possibility of escape, and the final result can only be to be ground to pieces!
(PS: Please vote! I'll see the situation tomorrow, and I'll add more if I'm not too busy!)
