Chapter 52: Cold Poison has a spirit

The warrior team's exploration plan did not go smoothly. From the time they entered the Yin Gui Secret Realm to now, they have basically not received any good news.

Moreover, there are basically evil spirits lurking in the houses in the city, and you will be attacked by them if you push the door open.

Seeing this scene, all the warriors looked serious, as if they had encountered some difficulties.

“This is difficult. The Secret Records of Heaven and Earth issued by the imperial court contain records of such large secret realms.

It is very easy to restore this kind of secret realm. Just kill the demon leader and then exit the secret realm, and the secret realm will automatically restore itself."

“But this type of secret realm is the same as a normal secret realm. If you only kill the demon leader, the other demons will not die, but will continue to wander around in the same place.

Therefore, it is difficult for such large secret realms to become stable logistical treasure troves."

The warriors could not imagine how much it would cost to clear out the ghosts in the city and allow soldiers to go in and out to carry supplies.

If there are weak monsters in the secret realm, the subsequent cleanup tasks can be handed over to the soldiers.

But the monsters in the Yin Gui Secret Realm were clearly beyond the soldiers' ability to deal with.

It is also impossible for warriors to waste their spiritual energy to eliminate the evil spirits in people's homes.

In this way, the ordinary materials in the Yin Gui Secret Realm cannot be used, and the only remaining value is the secret realm treasure chest and hidden treasures.

"I hope this place produces some spiritual objects. Otherwise, we'll probably have to purge the ghosts, station guards here, and transform it into a secret arsenal."

The warriors of the Great Wei have been attacking secret realms for many years. As long as it is a secret realm that can be successfully attacked, no matter how poor it is, they can make reasonable use of it.

But stationing guards to prevent the secret realm from being restored is definitely one of the least utilized methods.

If they had a choice, they would not allow the secret realm that continuously produces all kinds of materials to become a warehouse for storing weapons.

Zhou Yuan's pessimism differed from that of the warriors.

For him, the Yin Gui dungeon with a large number of low-level monsters is very suitable for gaining experience and dropping items.

It just so happened that the low-level ghosts didn't move very fast, so he could use the kite-flying tactic to pull in one group and then clear out another.

In addition, he has the 'Skin of the God of the Market' that can continuously restore health and mana, so it is not a big problem for him to solo the low-level monsters here.

It’s just that the arrows may be wasted a little more, so sufficient logistical supplies are needed.

In view of this, he decided to speak up and remind people of the value of the Yin Gui copy to prevent Captain Jing'an from really classifying it as a low-value secret realm.

"Captain, I don't know why, but even though the fog here makes me uncomfortable, it actually amplifies my sense of Qi."

"What? This is actually happening! Everyone, please take a closer look. This subordinate of mine has a very high talent for sensing Qi. He once mastered the Three Talents Seal without the help of any spiritual objects.

He has little Qi, but a strong sense of Qi, so his feelings are probably not fake."

Hearing Captain Jing'an praising Zhou Yuan so highly, the other warriors couldn't help but take him seriously.

They gathered the energy throughout their bodies, allowing more cold gray mist to enter their breathing range.

About a quarter of an hour later, Captain Jing'an was the first to sense something unusual. He discovered that although the cold gray fog was harmful to the body, it also miraculously contained spiritual energy.

However, there is not much spiritual energy in the fog. If it accumulates into liquid, it may become a spiritual object that harms the body and benefits the spirit.

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still. No matter whether it hurt his body or not, as long as it contained spiritual energy, it had corresponding value.

"County Lieutenants, this fog is indeed unusual. It harms the body but benefits the Qi, and it is cold but invigorates the mind.

This kind of thing, which is both good and bad, can also be considered a spiritual thing."

"It is indeed as the Captain said, this gray fog is not a good thing, but if it is large in quantity and contains spiritual power, it is a good thing.

Even if it is difficult to become spiritual food, it can still replenish the spiritual energy of some precious weapon talismans."

“It’s good, but it’s hard to collect.

Spreading it with a piece of cloth might help it pick up some of the mist, but simply wringing out a wet cloth won't extract much of the mist."

Although the warrior county lieutenants were not as sensitive as Captain Jing'an, they did not think that Captain Jing'an would lie to them.

After hearing Captain Jing'an's confirmation of Zhou Yuan's feelings, they also discovered the value of the cold gray fog.

It's just that the cold poison severely restricts its value. Otherwise, even if it is difficult to extract, it can be transformed into a place for martial artists to practice, and it will be a rare paradise.

“Dashan, since the mist here contains spiritual energy, then after killing the demon leader, the secret treasure chest obtained must contain spiritual objects and treasures.

Let's go explore together and see if we can locate the demon leader."

Following the order from Captain Jing'an, the warrior team quickly left the houses and returned to the main street of the market.

There are so many ghosts on the street that it is not easy to clear them all out.

Therefore, after defeating five teams of ghosts, about one hundred and sixty in total, the warrior team clearly felt that this was a road to waste of money.

If they continue to advance like this, the spiritual objects they carry with them may be used up before they defeat the demon leader.

What's more, there is the Yin-Cold Poison. It is definitely not a good idea for a group of people to waste their spiritual energy and poison themselves here.

The best way is for someone to take the initiative to clear the streets and allow the warriors to maintain their peak condition, and finally surround and kill the demon leader.

Of course, it would be better if the person who took the initiative to clean up the street did not consume too many spiritual objects and only consumed some ordinary supplies.

Among all the people present, only Zhou Yuan and Shangle County Lieutenant Cheng Fei met the requirements.

The two of them killed the ghosts with the secret realm bow and evil-suppressing arrows, rather than spiritual power.

Under normal circumstances, arrows can be recycled and reused, which is much more cost-effective than the collective use of spiritual power by warriors.

"Captain, the ghosts here have limited movement speed and will not gather in groups to surround us.

Perhaps we can use archers to clear them one by one, which can not only avoid excessive consumption of spiritual energy, but also maintain our combat state."

There is no reason why the Jing'an Captain could not think of the strategy that the county lieutenant warrior could come up with.

It's just that he needs to take care of his subordinates' emotions and cannot personally make such a proposal that benefits the public but harms individuals.

Now that a warrior had taken the initiative to suggest it, he took the opportunity to ask.

"Cheng Fei, Zhou Yuan, do you two think this method is feasible?"

"Why not? Brothers, take a break. I'll do the hard work first."

"Yuan Ye thinks it's worth a try. Otherwise, the consumption will be too great, which will be detrimental to later exploration."

Although both archers expressed their willingness, for safety reasons, Captain Jing'an took the initiative to stay and act as guards to prevent the archers from getting into danger when they attracted the ghosts.

The warriors left one person behind to act as a guard, while the others temporarily returned to the city gate to rest.

In this way, the twelve-person pioneering team became two people pioneering and ten people AFK, which was a complete scene of a big boss leading the weak.

After Zhou Yuan and Cheng Fei pulled out a few small waves of ghosts in groups of five or six, the archer had another option to clear monsters.

"Zhou Yuan, why don't you and I take turns, one of us will lead the kill while the other rests. This rotation will ensure that the method of leading the kill continues uninterrupted."

"But, County Lieutenant, take a break. It won't be difficult for me to kill five or six at a time."

Nine warriors were resting at the city gate, two warriors were on guard at the houses, and only Zhou Yuan was conscientiously pulling in and clearing the monsters.

"One leads eleven, am I the team's god, or the team's laborer?"
