Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 51 Two River Gods of the Cangshui River, and a Powerful Chi Dragon
Su Yu chatted with the man for a while, and combined with the chat of many players in the regional channel, she quickly figured out the specific situation of the so-called River God Battle.

Simply put, the Cangshui River has two river gods: one is the original Cangshui River God, and the other is a new river god appointed by imperial decree from the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect by the master of Chixiao Sword Peak.

The two water gods each occupied a section of the Cang River and fought fiercely for control of it.

Not only do they recruit soldiers and build a huge navy to fight, but they also issue missions to many players. If you accept a mission and kill the opponent's navy, you will get a 20% experience bonus, and you can also exchange River God reputation for good items.

There are battles almost every day, and a large-scale war breaks out every now and then. Every six months or so, after both sides have accumulated enough strength, they will launch a large-scale war, and even the river god will occasionally take action.

Su Yu's arrival was perfectly timed, coinciding with a major battle that occurs roughly every six months.

What he sees now is the new River God's navy and the player guilds that have joined the new River God's camp. Their main forces are divided by this basin, with the old River God located upstream and the old River God located downstream.

The River God Battle is open to all players.

After a moment's thought, Su Yu decided to join the new River God's faction.

Since we're leveling up anyway, joining the River God Battle gives us a 20% experience bonus.

Joining is simple. Every town along the river has a river god temple. Lighting an incense stick in the temple will attract the river god's attention, which is equivalent to joining his camp. In the future, he will know everything about the river god he kills during the great battle.

Su Yu checked the map, found the nearest riverside town, flew there, entered the river god temple, lit an incense stick, and immediately received a buff.

River God's Mark (Imperial Conferment by Xuanzhen Immortal Sect): Killing enemies of the River God grants an additional 20% kill experience and cultivation points, and temporarily grants friendly reputation to the River God's faction.

After obtaining the mark and returning to the riverbank, he was astonished to find that all the naval forces floating in the water had changed from yellow names to green names, and the red wild monsters had also become neutral yellow names. This meant that as long as he did not attack first, he would not be attacked.

Correspondingly, the navy from the hostile old river god changed from neutral yellow to hostile blood-red, while the wild monsters on the other side remained red and did not become neutral yellow.

Su Yu followed the fleet and waited for a while, but the battle still hadn't started. So he decided to dive into the water and farm some monsters to level up first.

As soon as it entered the water, a whirlpool appeared on the Lingcage belt, and a dragon as thick as an arm flew out from it, growing to more than 150 meters long in the blink of an eye.

"It's suffocating me!"

Ao Run opened his mouth and inhaled sharply. He spotted a group of monsters wandering not far away, swung his thick dragon tail, and charged forward to give them a brutal beating.

Su Yu shook his head, his hands clenched loosely, and the Azure Sparrow flew out and hovered in front of him, its sharp sword flashing uncertainly.

With a thought, the surging sword energy of his two flying swords rapidly shrank, and the sword light quickly condensed.

He suppressed his breath to the extreme, then pointed his finger and transformed it into a sword rainbow that pierced the air. It quickly flew more than 300 meters away and swept up a group of level 50+ blue fish spirits. With a back-and-forth movement, it cut them in two.

With just two back-and-forth movements of the two flying swords, the twelve blue carp demons were dealt with.

"Too fierce!"

Su Yu clicked her tongue in amazement. With a thought, she pierced through the air with her twin swords, sweeping up another group of monsters nearby.

The sword flashed back and forth, blood splattered, it was very efficient.

After defeating several waves of enemies and regaining his form, Su Yu focused his attention on swordsmanship.

Recalling Xiao Qingli's previous teachings, he focused his spirit on the two swords, continuously condensing sword energy and compressing sword light.

As time went on, the sword energy shrank and became sharper.

Su Yu could vaguely sense the changes in his own sword energy, which seemed to be undergoing a qualitative change as it was continuously condensed and compressed.

He knew in his heart that this should be the opportunity to break through the second level of swordsmanship – condensing sword energy into threads. As long as he continued to refine his sword energy, he would eventually break through the limit and comprehend this level.

He wasn't sure how far he needed to refine it, but he wasn't in a hurry; he just kept refining it.

The man and the dragon rampaged through the water, killing any monsters they encountered. Two hours later, Su Yu, who was frantically killing monsters more than two thousand meters underwater, suddenly heard a muffled bell ring in his ears, and a loud voice exploded in his mind.

Su Yu immediately realized that the battle of the river gods had begun.

He tried to summon Ao Run back with his thoughts, but Ao Run spoke first:
"I have just been summoned by the river god of this river, who has appointed me as the general of the navy."

"You agree?"

"No, it's too dangerous."

Su Yu was surprised:
"You know about danger? I thought the word 'danger' didn't even exist in your vocabulary."

His response was to be engulfed by the enormous dragon's body, and Ao Run opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of saliva all over him.

The dragon and the jiao swam forward playfully until they saw the densely packed navy lined up in the water. Only then did they break out of the water and see the fleet lined up in front of them.

These fleets were divided into five groups, which, judging from the flags and insignia on their hulls, belonged to five different guilds.

Looking out from this vantage point, another massive fleet, slightly smaller in size, was anchored on the water a dozen kilometers away opposite ours.

On the Cangshui River, which stretches for tens of kilometers and is hundreds of kilometers wide, there are countless naval forces.

They are all fish spirits, basically transformed from various fish spirits in the Cangshui River. Their level is at least level 50 or above, with elites reaching level 70. They are all ordinary templates, but with the River God buff, naval battle formation, and each having a weapon, their combat power is far stronger than monsters of the same level.

A level 50 ordinary template naval force is no weaker than a level 70 ordinary template monster.

Among the naval forces stood numerous naval generals, each with a rank exceeding one hundred.

The commander of the central army, located at the very center of the navy, is a black fish spirit with a terrifying level of 212. In human form, it is over a hundred meters tall, wielding a giant halberd that is three hundred meters tall, and is covered in armor. It looks quite imposing.

Beside the Black Fish Demon was a highly elite navy, all of whom were level 80 or above, elite templates, and with various buffs, their combat power was extremely fierce.

As the deafening war drums sounded, the two naval commanders raised their weapons and roared, unleashing an invisible wave that swept across the area. Su Yu immediately realized that he had a new buff.

Commander's Aura: Physique +100, Strength +100, Health Recovery +50, Mana/Demon Power Recovery +5, Speed ​​+50 km/h.

The bonus isn't huge, but it affects the entire army, resulting in a significant overall improvement.

At the command of the two commanders, a dense swarm of naval forces plunged into the water and rushed toward the other side.

From high above, they appear as two black lines spanning hundreds of kilometers rapidly approaching each other.

"boom!"

The two massive naval forces collided in a straight line, and an invisible wave swept across the battlefield like lightning. The intense impact made everyone gasp for breath, and then their blood boiled.

"kill!"

One by one, over a hundred naval generals roared to boost morale and urge their naval forces to attack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

As the deep drumbeats sounded, the massive fleet anchored on the water began to slowly move forward.

Once within range of the Divine Thunder Tower, they stopped. With a series of commands, many players on the warship gathered around the Divine Thunder Towers and poured their mana into them. The mana extended along the array patterns on the tower body to the top, quickly condensing into a ball of boiling, blazing divine thunder.

"put!"

One after another, massive bolts of blazing lightning streaked through the air, trailing long fiery tails, and plunged seven or eight kilometers into the water, exploding with a deafening roar.

A barrage of tens of thousands of fiery divine thunderbolts instantly transformed the water surface, several kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long, into a sea of ​​fire, blasting countless naval forces to pieces. However, the sheer number of naval forces on both sides was overwhelming, and the river spirits were countless, easily converting into naval troops, likely numbering in the millions. The thousands of casualties from a single bombardment were merely a drop in the ocean.

The two fleets bombarded each other relentlessly, and in just a few minutes the vast water surface had been transformed into a living hell.

Su Yu watched from behind, clicking her tongue in amazement. She shook her head, turned around, and dived into the water.

The battlefield for both sides is not limited to the river surface; the vast underwater space is the main battlefield.

Most small teams or solo players fight underwater to avoid being targeted and focused by the Thunder Tower.

Underwater currents surged, and millions of naval forces engaged in a chaotic battle in these waters.

Soon after the two sides engaged in battle, they lost their formations, becoming intertwined with each other, with friendly and enemy forces scattered everywhere.

Su Yu summoned the Nine-Aperture Pearl, which hovered above his head, and unleashed two flying swords that darted back and forth like dragons, slaughtering madly.

Ao Run originally wanted to charge deep into the enemy ranks, but he was forcibly restrained nearby.

There are too many bosses on the battlefield. If you stand out too much, you'll easily be targeted and besieged by the enemy's naval forces and suffer a defeat.

The naval commanders are ranked between level 100 and 200, but level 199 is also above level 100. There are naval commanders who are just over level 100, as well as naval commanders who are around level 180 or 190. If you come up with just one or two of them, you might lose.

The water was teeming with naval forces, all focused on charging forward.

He and many other players followed behind, letting these online trolls be in the front row, which was quite comfortable for him.

There's no need to worry about being ambushed. Although the opposing faction also has guilds and players, both sides have an understanding to only grind monsters and reputation without engaging in PvP.

Aside from guild members, ordinary players have no interest in the outcome of the River God's battles; they are all there for the experience buffs and BOSS loot.

With no worries about the future, Su Yu's experience points skyrocketed, and countless online trolls became victims of her sword.

Occasionally, when encountering a skilled troll, a large number of players will swarm around and forcibly kill them in no time.

With the second level of Sword Control, Su Yu can attack targets up to 10 kilometers away. Whenever he sees a BOSS spawning, he flies his sword over from afar to slash a few times. Once the BOSS dies, he can get some killing experience and cultivation points.

Although it's not much, it adds up.

"Frosty Dragon BOSS!"

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from afar. Su Yu immediately looked over and saw a cold wave surging in like a tide, freezing the river water wherever it went.

"boom!"

The frozen river water burst open, and a dragon, over two hundred meters long with a body like a dragon, a pair of blue-glowing horns on its head, two blue-glowing whiskers hanging from its chin, and two wings on its back, rushed out.

Han Chi (Terrifying): Leader, Level 168, Aquatic, Dragon.

Attributes: 560 million HP, 22 demon power, 38000 attack power, 1400 km/h speed, demon magic: water-based magic, ice soul divine lightning, midday cold tide restriction.

"Midday cold wave!"

The Cold Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out an even larger burst of cold air, which exploded like a tide, freezing large areas of water and trapping more than a dozen players and hundreds of naval troops inside.

The massive dragon tail slammed into the ice, causing a terrifying damage of up to 50,000 to erupt above the heads of all the online trolls and players.

Players and their naval forces whose defensive magical artifacts were below level six were all torn to pieces as the ice shattered.

"So strong!"

Su Yu was hesitating whether to temporarily avoid the limelight when Ao Run, who had been protecting him, suddenly stretched out his head, his eyes shining, and shouted:

"Protect me, I want to eat it!"

After saying that, it swung its tail and charged forward, spitting out a breath at the dragon from afar.

"Ah hey!"

Su Yu was caught off guard, but it was too late to recall him; the dragon had already set its sights on Ao Run and pounced on him.

"boom!"

The two enormous objects collided, and an invisible shockwave exploded outwards, shattering the surrounding ice into pieces.

In terms of both level and template, Ao Run was no match for this blue dragon. Even with the powerful magic of the Azure Netherworld Divine Breath Technique at level 130, he was still no match for this dragon and was immediately at a disadvantage in the fight.

"You tiger woman! You're asking for it."

Su Yu was speechless. This is no way to be so reckless. The level template is far below, so why does he dare to go up?
But it's too late to say all this now; the fighting has already started.

In the few seconds he was speechless, the Blue Dragon had completely suppressed the Azure Flood Dragon, flapped its wings and frantically spewed out cold air, while at the same time it opened its mouth and spat out its inner core, which was wrapped in fierce cold air and smashed towards the Flood Dragon.

Although Ao Run was suppressed, he was not willing to give in at all and also spat out a blue dragon ball to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

The violent impact exploded, instantly propelling the object two or three kilometers away.

"That's really fierce!"

The two dragons, one a serpent and the other a serpent, engaged in a fierce battle, activating their inner cores and dragon pearls to bombard each other relentlessly. The violent impacts, mixed with the biting cold air, exploded continuously, causing the surrounding waters to freeze and shatter repeatedly.

Many players were drawn to the BOSS, but couldn't get involved for a while.

Su Yu had been keeping an eye on Ao Run's health. After months of frantic leveling up, she had reached level 131 and had 298 million health. She had been fighting the dragon for four or five minutes, losing 900,000 health, leaving her with just over 2 million.

However, this blue dragon has a total of 5.6 million HP. It will lose just over 500,000 HP, leaving it with 5.1 million HP, giving it a significant advantage.

"Who told me I'm your master?"

Su Yu let out a long breath and transmitted her voice to Ao Run:
"Don't make such a fuss, or I won't be able to help you."

A dozen seconds later, the violent shockwave suddenly disappeared, and the water gradually became clear. They saw a dragon and a dragon still fighting fiercely, biting and spewing cold air. The dragon was completely suppressed, its body covered with teeth marks, large chunks of flesh bitten off in several places, and its body was covered with broken dragon scales and pits, looking quite miserable.

The inner core of the dragon and the dragon pearl no longer collided, but became entangled, one spewing out cold pill energy and the other spewing out blue light, hanging above the heads of the dragon and the dragon fighting fiercely.

Su Yu immediately summoned the Sun-Covering Azure Sparrow and soared into the sky towards the battlefield. A flash of cold light grazed the back of the Blue Dragon, and two sprays of blood appeared.

At this moment, Ao Run was already locked in battle with the Chilong, leaving him no space to use his sword to slash around him.

As soon as he made his move, hundreds of players gathered around him unleashed their flying swords and magical weapons, swarming forward and instantly unleashing a dense barrage of damage on the dragon's body.

Although the Chilong has extremely high defense, most players can break through its defenses, and the cumulative damage output can be quite considerable.

With the help of many players, Lan Chi was able to take action to defend, and the suppression was not so severe.

But instead of taking the opportunity to escape, Ao Run seized the chance to bite Lan Chi's neck.
