Chapter 320 Umbrella Machine!
Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Dragon City.
"Lord City Lord, we're back!"
Xiao Yu had just come out of the special brewing room when he heard the voices of three beast-eared girls.
"Oh, they're all back?" Xiao Yu smiled as he looked at the three beast-eared girls.
June and Qi Sha still looked a bit travel-worn, while the rabbit-eared girl had a smile on her face as usual.
"Lord City Lord, we have looted the Blood Moon City's treasury. These are all the Blood Demon's energy stones. Whew~" The catwoman took a deep breath, panting, and piled a large stack of animal skin bags on the table.
Then, she looked at Xiao Yu expectantly, her face full of a 'seeking praise' expression.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. He reached out and gave the system an order to redeem the item directly.
Previously, the earthworm was not large enough, so the presence of it was not obvious.
However, after the Earth Dragon Turtle evolves to the eighth tier, its appetite increases dramatically, consuming 10 to 20 energy points every day.
In just a few days, hundreds of thousands of energy points have been consumed.
In addition, we just collected a large tank of the heart's blood from the earthworm.
To help it recover as quickly as possible, I fed it another 100,000 energy points.
In short, with the Earth Dragon Turtle being such a heavy consumer of energy, energy points are always in short supply.
[Ding! Redemption successful! You have gained 1993435 energy points!]
"Oh, nearly two million? That's a really unexpected bargain!" Upon hearing the system notification, Xiao Yu's face lit up with joy. He looked at the two beast-eared girls with admiration.
With such a large amount of energy stones, the earth dragon turtle can eat for half a month.
"Excellent! You did a great job!"
Xiao Yu was indeed short of energy stones, and he was naturally very happy that the two rabbit-eared girls had given him so many energy stones for free. He gave the two girls two thumbs up, one for each of them.
"Hehe!" The catwoman and the wolfwoman exchanged a glance and immediately smiled, their eyes crinkling.
"Alright, Sisi, do you have anything to report?" Xiao Yu asked the rabbit-eared girl.
"It's about the new recruits in the city defense force."
The bunny-eared girl opened her little notebook, flipped through it, and reported everything one by one.
"The two batches of new recruits who joined the city defense force in the past two days have already begun special training."
For the time being, their attitude is still very proper, and nothing seems amiss.
"Chenlong, Tienan, and the other team leaders did a great job. They were very friendly to the new recruits, and it was because of their thoughtful care that the recruits quickly integrated..."
"Are Black Horse and his group of over a hundred people cooperative?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.
"Hmm, that's good." The bunny-eared girl flipped through the records, recounting everything that Black Horse and the others had said and done in the cafeteria.
"This dark horse... knows how to survive." Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Although he had recruited more than a hundred people into the Wild Wolf Hunting Team.
However, the dark horse had too much prestige among those hundred-plus people.
Therefore, Xiao Yu could not possibly let Black Horse lead those hundred-plus people again.
Otherwise... over time, a fixed power and interest group will inevitably form, which will breed the possibility of corruption, which is an inevitable part of human nature!
At that time, Heima's personal orders will surpass the authority of Xiao Yu, the city lord!
Xiao Yu didn't want to take that risk and had to block the road ahead of time.
Therefore, Chenlong and Tienan took turns leading their respective brothers.
Once these hundred-plus people are officially incorporated into the Longcheng Army, they will have to be separated.
The recruitment of more fresh talent, such as holly, is also aimed at curbing this situation.
"Xiao Yu, after Blood Moon City collapsed, the surrounding small tribes became even more chaotic." After the rabbit-eared girl finished speaking, the white-haired catwoman frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"Should we recruit some more people from those small tribes?"
"The remaining small tribes?"
Xiao Yu's expression shifted slightly before he nodded, "Alright, thank you for making this trip. If there are any forces worth recruiting, feel free to do so. But remember, the principles of Dragon City..."
"We understand, better to have nothing than something bad!" The three women nodded in unison.
They are not saints, and they won't be pushovers.
Along their journey, they encountered mostly unkind people in the wilderness.
Despite the impending apocalypse, these humans, all human beings, are killing each other and engaging in all sorts of deceit and treachery...
However... there are also some similar tribes like Maple Leaf Tribe and Wild Goose Tribe.
Even though they live in the apocalypse, they still have love and help each other.
Such people are very rare in the apocalypse, but they are exactly the kind of people Dragon City needs.
"Good to know, go ahead!" Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Dragon City is now enormous, comparable to a small town in my previous life.
But now, the huge city of Longcheng has fewer than two thousand residents.
Let alone one or two more small tribes, even if several thousand more people came, it wouldn't be a problem.
The more people there are, the greater the productivity!
……
At this moment, in a small tribe called Pingkang.
"Hand over all the tribe's energy stones and all the women, and we'll spare your lives!"
"Yes! Let those pretty young ladies serve me well!"
More than a hundred bandits, their bodies covered in ferocious tattoos, held weapons and laughed arrogantly as they looked at the tribespeople.
Since the Blood Demon and the three Blood Demon Guards were killed.
Blood Moon City's power was completely destroyed.
However... Blood Moon City did not get better.
Because the remnants of the Blood Demon's forces and surrounding smaller factions have begun vying for territory again.
Driven by greed, they resorted to any means necessary, committing arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of atrocities.
"My lords, we'll give you all the energy stones, but could you please spare the women of our tribe?" Chief Pinghu could only bow and hand over a leather bag, pleading with his face full of pleas.
"Stop talking nonsense and call everyone out now! Otherwise... you'll all die!" The bandit leader took the few remaining energy stones and shouted angrily.
As they spoke, a group of people prepared to rush into the tribe to search for the women inside.
He was also a member of the Blood Demon Guard before, and his strength was at the fourth level.
Although Blood Moon City has been destroyed, these people still possess formidable strength.
When dealing with ordinary people, they can still do whatever they want and kill at will.
"Don't, adults! They're still children!" The tribespeople screamed and begged for mercy as the bandits took away the girls from the tribe, but they were kicked away.
They are always kind to others and never harm anyone.
but,
Although this tribe has a couple hundred people, they are not very strong in combat.
Faced with this group of vicious people, all we could do was beg for their forgiveness like a dog.
But what I got in return was a cold knife.
This is the world; kind people have no way to survive.
The strong can decide the life and death of others at will!
"A bunch of vermin! They all deserve to die!" Inside a wooden hut, two pale-faced girls wrapped in bandages peered through the crack in the wooden door at the outside world, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
a few days ago.
They were being hunted by their enemies and ended up here by chance, where they were rescued by the Pingkang tribe.
Seeing that the people of this tribe were kind-hearted, the two sisters decided to stay here to recuperate.
But they never expected to witness this scene.
"Sister, I'll go kill them all!" The short-haired, brown-haired girl with a slightly immature face said as the tribal chief who had saved them was about to be killed.
As she spoke, she lifted her black robe, revealing her left wrist.
There was a metal device resembling a bracelet attached there, gleaming coldly and sending chills down one's spine.
"Dongdong! You're seriously injured, you can't go out! Let me go." The older sister, Aqiu, with shoulder-length short hair and deep-set eyes, stood in front of her younger sister and said with a firm look in her eyes.
As she spoke, she slowly took down an umbrella from her back.
The umbrella was completely black; the only thing that could be seen was that it was made of iron.
At first glance, it doesn't seem particularly special.
However, upon hearing her sister's words, Dongdong's expression instantly changed, and she tried to stop her, "Sister, do you want to use the Thousand Chance Umbrella's killing move? Its power is too strong, and you will be affected by it too!"
The two sisters escaped from a mysterious place.
When leaving, take with you something extremely important, or rather, a deadly weapon.
The design blueprints for that thing were originally obtained by their father from an ancient ruin.
After several years of research, the father finally succeeded in creating a sample.
Unexpectedly, the organization's higher-ups, in order to obtain the design blueprints for the murder weapon, captured the two sisters and threatened their father to hand over the blueprints.
In the end, the father risked his life to save the two sisters and helped them escape.
He himself stayed behind to cover the retreat, and now... he's likely in grave danger.
Because of its incredible power and the mysterious nature of it.
Ordinary people simply cannot control this umbrella.
In order to escape, my sister used it several times, and suffered a major backlash as a result.
"Wait... someone has made a move!" Just then, the older sister, A Qiu, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and pointed outside.
"Someone came to our rescue! That girl riding the big bird is amazing!" Dongdong saw through the crack in the door that there were three armored girls riding big birds.
As soon as the girl got close, she shot two arrows, killing the two leading fourth-level bandits.
Then, the remaining bandits all scattered, and the crisis of Pingkang tribe was resolved.
"Great! We don't need to intervene!"
