In the underground hall.
Fang ping and the others did not leave.
After a while, old man Li said,"Fang ping, you guys go back first." "Mcmau is in a mess right now, and old Wu is injured. Go back and make some arrangements."
"Teacher, you ..."
"I want to stay here."
Old man Li turned his head to look at the passageway entrance and smiled."Although the Minister is here, it's better to stay here."
In fact, there was still a way to disrupt the passageway at this moment. Although Magic city's catacombs had been stable for many years, with Zhang Tao's strength, he could still go in and disrupt the passageway, preventing the other party from coming over.
However, no one mentioned this!
"Mcmau will retaliate!
Even if mcmau did not retaliate, the humans would.
The war was about to start. It was meaningless to seal the Shanghai passageway now. Once passageway 108 was opened, all the unstable passageways would be completely stabilized.
"Rather than chaos at that time, it's better to open the passageway now, seize resources, and get rid of the catacombs 'wings.
Fang ping glanced at Lu fengrou, who was still in deep sleep. After a moment, he said,"Then I'll send Teacher back first."
As he was speaking, Zhang Tao's voice came from afar,""Guardian Zhang, Guardian Wu, you two go to the capital!"
The two guardians looked at each other and didn't say anything. They quickly prepared to leave.
Fang ping noticed that Wu Chuan did not mention anything about the energy stones. After some thought, he handed over a storage ring with a volume of 5 cubic meters and said,"Senior brother Wu, please take the energy stones with you. Have a safe journey. I'll be counting on senior brother Wu to take care of mcmau in the future."
Wu Chuan took the storage ring and scanned it with his mentality. He could not help but laugh. "You're quite generous!"
As he spoke, Wu Chuan did not hesitate and took the storage ring. It was already filled with energy stones, probably around 5000 catties.
Wu Chuan was just about to leave when Fang ping said hurriedly,"Teacher li, please give the divine weapon longsword to senior brother Wu first. You can modify the halberd later."
Old man Li laughed in spite of himself. He casually tossed the long sword to Wu Chuan, and Wu Chuan tossed the long halberd to old man Li.
Wu Chuan was really leaving this time. After taking a few steps, he suddenly sent a telepathic message to Fang ping, sighing softly. Don't blame me, Fang ping. I know what you're thinking, but this is how this era is. We're all moving forward in the dark, and no one can avoid it.
It's the same for you, me, and the Minister.
He was not a God. He could not calculate everything and see the future.
"My coming to Shanghai was also the Minister's arrangement. Similarly, the others going to the capital was also the Minister's arrangement. And all of this ... Has only one purpose!
Victory!
The smallest price in exchange for the greatest victory. This was humanity, this was China!
"Fang ping, if one day, the Minister's death can be exchanged for the lives of several true Kings, the Minister will not hesitate."
"I know. I'm not resentful. I just can't accept it!"
"Then cultivate properly!"
Wu Chuan sighed softly, then his smile returned. He said,"When Magic city's catacombs counterattacks come, I'll come and kill to my heart's content. This time...I'm aggrieved!"
After saying this, Wu Chuan sped off and left quickly.
Zhang Weiyu wanted to say something, but he did not.
He was about to reach the peak soon. However, whether he would participate in the battle of Magic City or the battle of other catacombs, it was not yet confirmed.
In fact, he might not even participate in the battle this time. Instead, he would choose to break through on the ground. In order to ensure his safety, this was very likely.
"Things should not happen more than three times. Human paragons break through in the catacombs one after another. I'm afraid the catacombs will not be careless anymore.
……
Wu Chuan and Zhang Weiyu left. Fang ping carried Lu fengrou and was about to leave. In the distance, Zhang Tao said again,"Come here!"
Fang ping turned to look at Wang Jinyang and the others, saying,"You guys can go back first."
The few of them nodded. Wang Jinyang thought about it and said, "Don't get into a conflict. "
Fang ping shook his head."What conflict can there be? he'll blow me to death in one breath. Do I dare?"
Wang Jinyang could not help but laugh. He said,"let's go back and cultivate in seclusion first. We'll strive to achieve rank-8 as soon as possible. Remember to inform us when mcmau retaliates. Don't start a war without a word!"
"We will!"
……
The few of them talked for a while before Fang ping walked toward the passageway on the side.
After a while, Fang ping saw Wu kuishan floating in the air.
At this moment, Wu kuishan's physical injuries had already recovered, but he was still in a deep sleep.
The luster of the gloves had also dimmed, and it no longer had its previous divine charm.
Fang ping was just about to speak when Zhang Tao, who was incomparably imposing, said,"Sit!"
Fang ping glanced at him. Without saying anything, he sat down cross-legged.
"Tell me in detail about your trip to the Forbidden Zone."
As he spoke, he paused before continuing,"you can blame me, but don't spread false information. If you spread false information ... Many people might die. When that happens, you'll be a sinner. Rank-8 martial artist, don't be so childish!"
"I didn't even say anything, and you already know I'm lying?" Fang ping said angrily.
"That's good, go ahead,"Zhang Tao said indifferently.
"Can the principal be saved?"
Zhang Tao glanced at him and casually said,""It depends on luck."
Fang ping did not pester her and said quickly,"after I sneaked into the restricted area, I went to Tianzhi city, which is the Imperial City of the Tianzhi Royal Court."
The heavenly plant imperial court had 360 imperial cities, and the city Lords were all rank-9.
"On the Imperial City's side, other than the true king Palace, there are eight other palaces. The head and Deputy of the eight palaces are all rank-9. There are also 300000 heavenly plant troops, and the ten thousand commanders are all rank-9 ..."
Fang ping began to explain slowly.
"There are powerhouses on the divine general ranking list in the catacombs of the Western border?" Zhang Tao asked quickly.
"That's right. Castellan Mei Jin is an expert on the divine general ranking, and the experts on the divine general ranking are all experts who have already made a breakthrough in the origin Dao. Many of the origin Dao experts are not even qualified to be on the ranking."
"Mei Jin ..."
"Lizhu has been hiding its strength," Zhang Tao said after a moment of silence."How did you know?"
"I guessed it! However, my intuition is very accurate, and my sense of danger is also very strong. I only felt that I was out of danger after I was about 3000 miles away from Tianzhi city, so I guessed that Li Zhu had hidden his strength and did not make a move. "
"You sure dare to guess."
Zhang Tao glanced at him. This guy was very bold. He actually dared to stir up trouble in Tianzhi city and almost blew up Tianzhi city. This was something he did not expect.
Not only that, he even dared to sneak into the Imperial Palace of the heavenly plant imperial court. He was extremely daring.
"Zhao xingwu has become the heavenly plant Army's left Commander-in-Chief ... The people in Lizhu are quite bold."
"Is Zhao xingwu one of our people? I feel that he had the intention of helping me escape. "
"Zhao xingwu ..."
Zhang Tao thought for a moment and then said,"Zhao xingwu isn't anyone's man. He has his own ideals and pursuits. However, he didn't betray humanity. He and I can only be said to be cooperating.
To put it simply, he was also considered a backup plan, even if it might be a dead end.
If one day, mankind was really defeated and there was no way to escape, perhaps Zhao xingwu could really save a group of people. Even if they had to be dogs, they had to survive ...
"Live ... Until the day the catacombs are overthrown!"
Zhang Tao chuckled and said,"maybe there won't be such a day at all, but when that time comes, there's no need to worry about it anymore." If his race is going to be annihilated, then let him be annihilated. Perhaps this is the only thing we can do to let a group of innocent people live. "
Zhang Tao didn't say anything else and continued,""The monitoring system you mentioned, repeat it."
Fang ping explained briefly. He did not know much about this, and most of it was just speculation.
Zhang Tao muttered to himself for a moment, then skipped this topic and quickly moved on to the king battle field. He muttered,""In the Royal battlefield, the two kings might really be resurrected, so the Imperial Order King has gone to test the waters ... What's King Qian doing? have you heard anything about King Qian in the Forbidden Zone?"
"No, King Qian is very low-key. Almost no one dares to talk about him in the Forbidden Zone. There's only a handful of them in King Qian's estate, and there's almost no news about King Qian at all. "
"Dogs that bite don't bark."
Zhang Tao said indifferently and then slowly said,"The heavenly plant imperial court is now divided into three factions-Lizhu, King Qian, and King Feng. In fact, King Feng is the stupidest group of people!
These people were the first to die when the battle began!
It was just a dream to sit back and reap the benefits.
The Maple King might have stepped out of the second path, and it was probably within these 100 years or so. These 100 years were also the period when he was the most active.
He wanted to hide his strength and be the fisherman, but he couldn't control his ambition. He couldn't even control his desire to show off and let others know how strong he was ...
Therefore, if he were to break through, there should be many people who knew about it. At least, people like King Huai should know.
In short, when the war broke out, the Maple King's line was abandoned by the heavenly plant Royal Court. However, now that you said that Hua Yu and the others already know some things, it's hard to say what will happen next. "
Fang ping did not say anything.
"Lizhu," Zhang Tao continued,"everyone knows Lizhu's ambitions, but they've always been on the surface, so people are afraid. Now that he was in seclusion, there was probably a group of true Kings supporting him in the dark.
"As for King Qian ..."
Speaking of this mysterious person, Zhang Tao pondered for a moment and slowly said,""King Qian is more low-key than the life King. However, he has been a King for a long time. The era he appeared in was also the era when the catacombs 'passageway was opened.
King Qian and Heavenly King Zhen should be very familiar with each other!
"There's something you might not know. King Qian became the true king Palace's Palace Master at about the same time as the opening of the catacombs 'passageway.
The true king Palace had existed for thousands of years, and it had existed since the end of the era of the two kings.
"Take a guess. There weren't any major battles when the catacombs passageway first opened. Where did the previous Palace Master of the true king Palace go?"
Fang ping frowned. Zhang Tao chuckled. "He's dead. After all these years of dealing with the heavenly plant imperial court, we're still aware of some things. King Qian ascended the throne only because the previous Palace Master died!
However, Tianming Royal Court was different.
The previous Palace Master of the Tianming Royal Court's true king Palace ... He must have died in the hands of King Qian. At that time, the two Royal Courts were still at war. "
Fang ping was a little confused. Why did Zhang Tao say all this?
Zhang Tao smiled faintly."Don't overthink it. I'm just telling you not to underestimate King Qian! There was no way to know who was more calculative between Lizhu and King Qian. However, if Lizhu had really recovered its strength, King Qian might have known about it.
Lizhu thinks he has everything planned out, but it might be King Qian who created this situation. "
Fang Ping's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, but he did not say anything.
Zhang Tao saw that he didn't seem to care too much and suddenly laughed,""Actually, I've been trying to figure out who killed that monster plant back then. Actually, there have been a few suspects all these years, and King Qian is one of them!"
"What do you mean?" Fang Ping's pupils shrank.
"I'm just guessing,"Zhang Tao said playfully.
"……"
Fang ping almost died from anger. He let out a muffled grunt and did not continue the conversation.
Zhang Tao ignored him and finally asked,""The big business you mentioned, what big business is it?"
Fang ping did not remain silent this time. A hundred Kings coin appeared in his hand, and he said calmly,"A hundred King coins! One could be exchanged for 50 kilograms of rank-9 energy stones, which could be exchanged for from the hundred imperial palaces. There were thousands of hundred imperial palaces in the catacombs, and there were countless energy stones. There was no way to distinguish them, but there was a hint of True Monarch Qi contained within ...
If it was forged, as long as it wasn't a large-scale exchange, each family could exchange a thousand catties. In fact, it was a small business, and almost no one would care.
A thousand catties per family, that would be a million catties, 500 tons of rank-9 energy stones!
Actually, this was not a big deal. If one really wanted to excavate a mine vein, it would not be a problem to excavate 50000 Kilograms of energy stones. It was only 10 mine veins, there were many mine veins in the catacombs.
The true Kings won't even notice!"
At this moment, Zhang Tao's eyes were bright!
The next moment, Fang ping picked up the hundred royal coins, turned around, and left.
"You ..."
"I quit! "If I go to the restricted area again and come back to find that mcmau is gone, then what's the point of me going there? So what if they earned 500 tons of energy stones? I don't need that much, I have enough now! 500 tons was a small amount. 10 hundred King coins for one hundred King Palace was the minimum.
Perhaps it could reach a thousand tons, or even more!
After all, Tianming Royal Court was also using a hundred King coins, including the Royal Court of the demon race. In fact, some high-grade demons were also using them. If they ran a round in all four Royal Courts, they would earn even more!
Who would care about a territory of 6 billion square kilometers?
"Previously, I was thinking of doing it again when I had time, but now that I think about it ... I'm stupid!
"If I'm discovered, the true Kings of the catacombs will hunt me down all over the world. I don't need that much for myself, so why should I fight the true Kings to the end for this? I don't have the strength of a true king."
As Fang ping walked, he said,"I actually have no use for all those resources. No matter how many resources I have, can they push me to the absolute nightmare realm? Don't you agree, Minister?"
Zhang Tao's eyebrows twitched!
A hundred King coins!
There were thousands of hundred King palaces!
A thousand tons of rank-9 energy stones!
A thousand tons!
"Other things aside, let's not talk about the high ranks. Just before rank-6, rank-1 to rank-5 can actually be achieved by throwing money!
"Bone-honing, body-honing, organ-honing ...
With enough energy, he could quickly temper it.
"From rank-1 to rank-5, to hone quickly, about 10 catties of energy stones are enough!
10 pounds!
In the past, martial artists in the three lower ranks had almost no access to energy stones, while the three middle ranks were calculated in grams.
10 catties for 5 kilograms, according to the black market price that year, it was worth 5 billion!
5 billion for rank-5, this was doable.
A thousand tons, two million Jin!
They could create a middle-ranked Army of 200000 people just by throwing money!
Meanwhile, Sino nation was currently preparing to recruit a million soldiers. Even if these million people became martial artists, there would only be four million martial artists. The current number of martial artists was far from four million, and there were only about 2.5 million officially registered martial artists.
With a 10% middle-ranked ratio, there were only about 200000 middle-ranked martial artists in Sino nation. In reality, there was none.
The Wu an Army was one of the three strongest armies in Sino nation, and there were only slightly more than 10000 middle-ranked soldiers.
1000 tons of energy stones. Hua had been at war with the catacombs for over a hundred years, but they had never obtained so many energy stones ... No, not to mention 1000 tons, even 100 tons would be considered an overestimation.
200,000 middle-ranked martial artists!
The catacombs also had such a move. The 300000 troops of the heavenly plants Army were all middle-ranked.
"Fang ping ..."
Zhang Tao had just opened his mouth when Fang ping ran very fast, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After he ran away, Zhang Tao suddenly cursed in a low voice!
This thing was actually deliberately hanging his appetite!
"F * ck, a thousand tons of energy stones ..."
Zhang Tao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. 'It's fine if you don't say it, but you said it, but you just don't do it ... What is this?'
"Calm down, calm down!"
Zhang Tao muttered to himself. 'I'm at the peak. What kind of big scenes have I not seen? it's just a thousand tons of energy stones. It's just a matter of dozens of mines. Do you really think I've never seen the world?'
There were many ore veins in the mountain, and there were definitely more than a few dozen.
Do you really think I care?
What a joke!
What a joke!
There aren't any absolute beginning realm demonic beasts in Mount Yuhai. I can move as many as I want!
The next moment, a phone appeared in Zhang Tao's hand. He dialed a number and said,""Has Li Zhen returned?"
Li Zhen's voice quickly came from the other side,""I just got back. I almost died because of you. You ..."
"Cut the crap. Go to Mount Yu Hai and bring out a few dozen ore veins. Smash them on mcmau's head!"
"……"
Li Zhen was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you drive a Paragon crazy, you'll be a joke. "
Zhang Tao was going crazy!
He was absolutely crazy!
Does he think that I'm not dying fast enough, and he wants me dead?
Dozens of mine veins ... If I go to the mountain of resisting sea and move one, the top demon beasts of the thousand Goblin Royal Court will come for me.
"I've lost dozens of mine veins this time. What do you think I should do?"Zhang Tao suddenly sighed.
"What?"
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. You've fallen out with that kid. That kid has a business of dozens of mineral veins in his hands, and now he's quit ..."
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said,""It's just a mineral vein, don't mind it too much!"
"He's back at mcmau now?"
"Yes,"
"I got it!"
After saying this, Li Zhen hung up the phone.
The military department.
Li Zhen paced back and forth for a while, then muttered,"Dozens of ore veins, dozens of them ... How many energy stones? The fallen star Army had been burning money the moment the war started, and they had never seen any opportunity to earn money ...
Zhang Tao asked me to stall the four true Kings and gave me 2000 catties of energy stones to send off a beggar!
"Mcmau ... Mcmau needs military control!
2000 catties of energy stones ... Dozens of ore veins ... No... "
Li Zhen muttered to himself. Outside, a few military department martial artists looked at each other. What was wrong with the commander today?
When he came back, he was all smiles and said that he had earned a ton of energy stones this time!
In the blink of an eye, he was so happy that he was possessed?
Where did these dozens of mine veins come from?
The few of them looked at each other. Soon, someone coughed and reminded,""Commander, there's an emergency in the northern border catacombs. A huge mine containing hundreds of catties of high-grade energy stones has been discovered. The northern border catacombs are organizing people to seize the mine. We hope that you can go to Mount Yuhai and exert your might to deter all parties and reduce the pressure on the northern border ..."
Li Zhen glanced at them. After a while, he suddenly shouted,"Get lost!"
F * ck, did I do it so cheaply?
A mine weighing a few hundred catties, and you're asking me to start a war at Mount Yuhai? how can I be in the mood now? didn't you hear me say that I'm going to set up dozens of big mines?
Besides, he had just been chased back. If he went back now, would he be looking for a beating?
Li Zhen glared at them and snorted,""Little mine, don't worry about it! Tell them to guard the city well and stop causing trouble for me! "The few of you, go ... Go to mcmau immediately and placate them. Magic city's catacombs are lost. We'll counterattack sooner or later. The Starfall Army can set out at any time."
Everyone looked at each other again. The Starfall Army still had many missions to complete. The situation in Shanghai was still unclear, and they could set off at any time?
……
Mcmau.
Fang Ping's mood was much better when he came out of the underground.
He did it on purpose!
"I'm quitting now. I'll just guard mcmau from now on and won't cause any trouble for you guys. That's fine, right?
If you think I'm making a big scene, then I'll just stay on the ground.
His mood improved for a moment, but when he arrived at school, Fang Ping's mood was a little gloomy again.
Many people were waiting outside the passage.
Seeing him come out, the oldest, Xu Gecheng, stepped forward and glanced at Lu fengrou. He smiled and said,"Are you alright?"
"I should be able to save him, but I need some time ..."
"That's good. "
Xu Gecheng was still smiling.""Don't be so dejected! I'm the one who has lived the longest in the school. No, I'm a few years younger than elder Liu. I'm used to life and death, so I'll get used to it.
Huang Jing and the rest had died in battle in the catacombs. They did not feel good, but life still had to go on. If a few people died and they became dispirited, then humans would not have been able to hold on for a long time.
They were my colleagues who entered the school in the same batch. Now that almost all of them were dead, old Huang was no longer alone. He had children and grandchildren.
To be honest, it wasn't a bad decision to leave.
"He killed quite a number of rank-9s and even helped li Changsheng along the way. At least li Changsheng didn't die. It's considered a profit, but it's actually a happy event ..."
Fang ping glanced at the smiling Xu Gecheng and said softly,""Teacher, you don't have to comfort me. I'm really not as weak as you think I am. You're already so old, but you have so many wrinkles when you smile ..."
"Hahaha!"
Xu Gecheng laughed out loud, then his face darkened.""Since you're fine, then don't act like your parents died! His parents were dead, so he had to do what he had to do!
"Now that the people in the school are in a state of panic, Tang Feng and the others aren't cut out for it either. You have to bear the responsibility that you should bear!
Old Wu and the others were not in charge of anything now, and old Liu was also in seclusion to recuperate.
"The students believe in you now. They trust you. This battle has dealt a huge blow to everyone. Even you, Fang ping, have become dispirited and sullen. How can you expect the students to pull themselves together?
"We're old, it's your turn to be the master of mcmau!
Go and tell everyone about your battle results, tell them about the success of this battle, tell them about your future plans, and tell them when to counterattack!
It's normal for people to die in war. If you can't even withstand this little bit of pressure, how are you going to fight the next battle?"
Fang ping took a deep breath, nodded, and then shouted,"All teachers and students, gather at field 1!"
With that, Fang ping handed Lu fengrou over to Chen Yunxi, who was beside him, and said,"Send the instructor to the energy room. The rest of you, go to the field for a meeting. Now that the Vice-Chancellor is not here, old Liu is recuperating, and Vice-Chancellor Huang has died in battle, I'll take over mcmau!"
Fang ping raised his spirits. Today, he was the highest leader of mcmau!
