In the video, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü transform into Death God, frantically reaping one undead after another, their target being the Soul Pearl of the dead.
They had clearly discovered the benefits of devouring Soul Pearl, and that devouring Soul Pearl was far more effective than devouring blood food.
As they devoured a large number of Soul Pearl, their strength increased rapidly, and they were even able to briefly remain airborne.
Fortunately, the ordinary people who survived in Dayandu have already left Dayandu with Shen Yingying's help.
Even those who had been imprisoned in the hotel by Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü were released by Shen Yingying in exchange for blood food given to them by Ling Yi.
The chaos in Dayandu has drawn the attention of the military outside.
They also discovered that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü were getting stronger. The military realized that they could not allow the two to get any stronger, otherwise they would become completely uncontrollable.
Therefore, the order to attack was decisively issued.
The military has Simulation multiple plans for dealing with these undead, and fire attack is undoubtedly the best method.
Countless incendiary bombs were Throwing into Dayandu...
The burning city, the wailing spirits in the Huoyan, the completely Madness Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, their terrifying cackling laughter emanating from time to time... Dayandu had become a living Purgatory.
Ling Yi suddenly realized how ridiculous his previous idea of Save the World had been.
Is it really possible to solve the undead crisis just by having blood offerings? That's incredibly Tianzhen.
" Yang Guo Xiaolongnü? How did they end up like this?" Ma Yu frowned.
"They have lost their true selves. The stronger they become, the more they become addicted to it. Now they have completely fallen into the demonic path," Wang Chongyang said in a deep voice.
"The dead can Plunder each other's Soul Pearl. Faced with such readily available power, how many can remain unmoved?" Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said.
Ling Yi remained silent, frowning as he gazed in the direction of Gusu City.
Wang Chongyang walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Junior brother, do what you want to do. Don't strive for perfection; nothing in this world is perfect."
Ling Yi nodded; he understood Wang Chongyang's meaning—to tell him not to be too hesitant or indecisive.
His perspective is different, so his way of thinking about problems is also different.
He wasn't Savior. Although he had been trying his best to Save the World, Ling Yi knew very well that everything he did was for... the plot.
Ling Yi is not the kind of scheming Protagonist who prioritizes his own interests and is willing to stop at nothing.
It's not the kind of Protagonist who's shrewd and calculating, thinking a hundred steps ahead and having everything under control.
Even deep down, Ling Yi didn't acknowledge that he was a Protagonist; he was just an ordinary person bound to the author, an ordinary person who could travel through All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
He's just trying his best... to play the Protagonist well.
What's the typical plot for Protagonist who travels to other worlds? They build a harem, engage in power struggles, crush all opponents, and gradually become a god.
But what about Ling Yi? He was invincible from the start, and after wandering through dozens of worlds in a daze, he realized that he had to play the role of a Protagonist well, because if he didn't play it well, his popularity would drop, and he would disappear!
Is Ling Yi afraid of disappearing? Not at all. Having traversed so many worlds, Ling Yi believes his life has been exciting enough.
But as he traveled to more and more worlds, he became more and more entangled with various things, and he was no longer alone.
Perhaps these constraints are the very tactics that author, Gou, uses to control his own narrative.
"Hehe!"
Ling Yi laughed for no apparent reason; the laugh was tinged with annoyance and bitterness.
At that moment, Ling Yi suddenly had a realization.
Ling Yi took a deep breath and looked at Wang Chongyang and the others, asking, "What if everyone in this world became an undead?"
Before anyone could answer, Ling Yi continued, "The undead feed on the living and Soul Pearl. If the world were filled with the undead, they would only survive by killing each other and devouring Soul Pearl."
"But the dead cannot reproduce."
Ling Yi turned around, his gaze icy as he looked in the direction of Gusu City, and murmured, "The dead bring only destruction."
Wang Chongyang and the others also figured out the key point: the dead should not exist in the first place, otherwise, as Ling Yi said, this world would Miejue and become a dead zone.
Even if Ling Yi provides an unlimited supply of blood food, the undead will still kill each other for strength.
Even assuming the dead could coexist peacefully, what meaning does a world that cannot reproduce, a world devoid of new life, have?
At this moment, in the direction of Gusu City, the undead army had completed its assembly and began to attack the human defenses.
The undead were armed with extremely rudimentary weapons: machetes, bows and arrows, nail guns, iron bars... Only a few undead carried pistols and wore bulletproof vests.
A barrage of bullets Sweep across the undead, instantly felling them to the ground in large numbers.
Most undead don't die instantly; only a few unlucky ones are hit by the Soul Pearl and die on the spot.
They dragged their broken arms and legs as they continued crawling towards the human camp. Some even had half their heads blown off, yet they still charged forward fearlessly.
"Boom! Whoosh!"
Suddenly, countless tongues of fire erupted, instantly igniting the approaching undead.
Perhaps the military here already knew about the battle situation in Dayandu and knew that the undead were afraid of fire, so they prepared a large number of flamethrowers in advance.
Flamethrowers are far more effective against undead than bullets.
The terrifyingly high temperatures caused immense damage.
A large number of the dead were burned to a crisp, turning into Soul Pearl that fell to the ground.
Ling Yi and the others, who were watching this scene from a distance, all had extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
It was only at this moment that Ling Yi fully realized that these undead were no longer human.
Even if they regain their human appearance and retain their memories from their previous lives, they are no longer human.
There are too many undead. The entire Gusu City has a population of approximately 19 million, which means that there are at least 10 million undead available to consume in this city right now.
There is no more blood offering in the city now. Without blood offerings, the undead will gradually lose their minds. But outside the city, there is plenty of blood offering.
The dead charged forward relentlessly, fearless of death; their half-dried bodies resembled demons and ghosts.
Soon, weaknesses began to appear in the human camp's defenses.
As the flamethrowers ran out of fuel and went silent, the numerical advantage of the undead gradually became apparent.
Ling Yi was somewhat puzzled as to why the military didn't use weapons with wide-area destructive power.
If, like Dayandu, they had simply airdropped a large number of incendiary bombs into the city, the outcome would not have been as bad as it is now.
" Ling Jiu, check if there's a problem with the military. Why aren't they deploying high-powered weapons?"
"There are several children of military leaders in Gusu City!" Ling Yi gave the answer as soon as Ling Jiu finished speaking.
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle. So that's all it was about?
"They've become undead. In fact, their ability to contact the military commander was secretly permitted by the three undead martial artists behind the scenes, with the aim of making the military hesitant to act."
"Looks like these three undead are something else."
" Ling Yi, you're wrong. This wasn't a method devised by those three undead, but rather an idea from human undead."
"Heh!" What else could Ling Yi say but a cold laugh?
"Furthermore, I just discovered through the remaining surveillance equipment that a group of undead are preparing to bypass the city through the underground drainage system and attack the human army from the rear. If they are attacked from both sides, the human army will likely be defeated very quickly."
Ling Yi thought for a moment, then handed the phone to Wang Chongyang and said, "Senior brother, and everyone else, follow Ling Jiu's instructions to stop this group of undead. Be careful, and don't be stingy with your blood offerings."
"Also, consume the Soul Pearl. Your current strength is insufficient to cope with this crisis; you should become stronger."
Wang Chongyang patted the military water bottle hanging at his waist and said, "Don't worry, we know. What about you?"
"I need to deal with the undead in the city."
"Isn't this a bit too dangerous?" Wang Chongyang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ling Yi said, then used his Qinggong to head towards Gusu City.
Ling Yi did not conceal his presence and jumped directly to the center of the battlefield where the undead and the military were fighting.
He raised his hand and threw out two enormous balls of Undead Fire.
The Undead Fire exploded on the ground, and this Huoyan, specifically designed to counter undead, instantly wiped out a large number of them.
After Ling Yi landed, he roared and his whole body burst into flames of dark blue Undead Fire, turning him into a Pyro. Then he plunged headlong into the army of undead.
Without the support of the Evasion Aura and the Infinite Health Pool, Ling Yi wouldn't dare to play like this.
How terrifying is Ling Yi when he's using cheat codes? Wherever he goes, only ashes are left behind.
Unlike ordinary Huoyan, Undead Fire burns the Soul Pearl of the undead along with the flames.
It truly annihilates the dead, ensuring they are never reborn.
Wherever Ling Yi passed, he left behind Daodao of dark blue Firewall, somewhat resembling the Huoyan Path skill of Mage in a Diablo game.
It was precisely because of these walls of Firewall that the undead army's escape route was completely blocked, allowing the military to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This time, Ling Yi showed no mercy whatsoever; he had no intention of letting any living soul go.
From the air, the battlefield looked like a giant, dark blue snake, its head weaving rapidly through the undead army until it had devoured all the undead outside the city.
Then, the greedy snake rushed straight into the city.
On the other side, Wang Chongyang and his group, guided by Ling Jiu, soon arrived at the bank of a moat.
There is a sewage drain outlet Fangzheng below.
The drain outlet is nearly two meters in diameter, but the valve is now closed, so no sewage is flowing out.
They could already hear a large number of footsteps coming from the drain.
"Prepare the Heavenly Big Dipper Formation!" Wang Chongyang shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes, the Final Master!" Ma Yu and the others replied.
"Brother Sanfeng, how about you lead the charge with me?"
"That's only right. I haven't fought anyone in centuries, so today is the perfect opportunity to have a good fight."
