"Damn, it's a long-tailed rat, it scared me half to death."

"What's wrong with Dawn City lately? They've dared to come out of the city and ambush our troops everywhere. They've actually succeeded a few times. Everyone be careful, don't let yourselves be caught off guard."

"I heard that every time, a one-armed giant covered in green comes out and shouts, and he's even at the Inner Strength stage. As a result, someone chases after him, and no one attacks him anymore. The people above said that as long as they see this guy, they should swarm him and chop him into eight pieces, and not go up alone."

"..."

There were only eight people in the group. Qin Wu thought that if he could catch them off guard, his side could wipe them all out. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the group left, he slowly walked towards where Leng Ruxiang and the others were hiding. After meeting up with the others, he explained the situation in detail to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Lü Jianguo immediately became excited and said, "Then what are we waiting for? It will be difficult if we let them join up with other people."

So the group decided on the ambush location, and Lü Jianguo rushed off towards the enemy, making a great commotion along the way, startling birds and small animals into scattering in all directions, as if afraid others wouldn't know he was there.

Hearing the commotion, the people of Nanyue City stopped, drew their weapons, and prepared to attack.

When Lü Jianguo emerged from the woods covered in leaves, everyone stared at each other in disbelief. Before Lü Jianguo could make a move, the people from Nanyue City immediately turned and left.

Lü Jianguo was stunned and stood there for a long time before he could react.

He muttered to himself, "What's going on?"

Qin Wu and the others were puzzled when they saw that there was no response for a long time. Then they saw Lü Jianguo walk over with a long face.

Wu Hui jumped down from the tree and asked with a puzzled look, "Where is he? How did you manage to come here by yourself after being rescued?"

Lü Jianguo's face immediately turned as if he were constipated. He then recounted what had just happened, leaving everyone both amused and exasperated.

Qin Wu was silent for a moment, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "I guess the previous plan has been figured out. Now we need to come up with a new plan, otherwise we'll just be wasting time."

“How about I go and lure the enemy? Lü Jianguo is sure Ning has already been exposed. If I go again, either the enemy won’t fall for it at all, or they will definitely strike with lightning speed. The risk is too great,” Wu Huida said to Qin Wu after thinking for a moment.

Qin Wu shook his head and said, "Now that the enemy has already suffered a loss, it's the same whether you go or Lü Jianguo goes. The reason why the people of Nanyue City have been in the Dark Moon Forest is ultimately to kill me as soon as possible. I want to personally lure the enemy."

At this moment, Leng Ruxiang, who had been standing quietly to the side, spoke up. He frowned and said, "If you go, they will definitely go all out and will not attack separately. Isn't that too risky?"

Qin Wu waved the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear in his hand, the wind from the spear stirring up the leaves on the ground, sending them flying everywhere. Then he said in a deep voice, "They can't catch up with me. I'll escape in front, and you attack from the rear of the formation. Once you've succeeded, retreat immediately, and then we'll regroup."

After discussing their plan, everyone was able to split up and take action. Coincidentally, they ran into the same eight people from before. As soon as the eight people saw Qin Wu, their eyes turned red, and they chased after him eagerly.

Qin Wu rushed forward and pretended to fight them, then feigned defeat, took a blow, and fled in panic. The men relentlessly pursued and attacked Qin Wu.

Unexpectedly, someone launched a sneak attack from behind, resulting in two casualties. Qin Wu turned around and executed a counterattack, killing one of the pursuers before they could react.

In an instant, three people from Nanyue City died, and Lü Jianguo, like an unkillable cockroach, clung tightly to two Gang Jin experts.

Finally, Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang made their move and instantly killed the two men. In less than half an hour, all eight people were wiped out.

Qin Wu and the others quickly gathered their spoils and fled the battlefield.

Everyone sat down on the ground, panting, to rest. Lü Jianguo, with a bundle of weapons on his back, grinned from ear to ear. This was the most perfect battle they had fought since entering the Dark Night Forest.

Qin Wu looked at everyone lying on the ground, panting heavily, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes: "We need to speed things up. This tactic won't last long. The people of Nanyue City aren't stupid. Maybe next time we'll encounter dozens of enemies at once."

Leng Ruxiang stood up from the ground, his face filled with intense fighting spirit. He rarely fought as freely as he did today. He gripped his big gun tightly and said, "Let's set off now, before the enemy can react."

Wu Huida and Lü Jianguo wore helpless, bitter smiles. These two were truly extraordinary talents.

In the following days, Qin Wu and his group followed suit and killed more than a dozen more people. Finally, after Qin Wu and his group continued to succeed, the people of Nanyue City changed their strategy.

Each team that came out consisted of at least twenty people, which was too dangerous for Qin Wu and his group. They were almost surrounded once, so Qin Wu and his group temporarily restrained themselves.

In a secluded valley in Dark Forest, Qin Wu and the others gathered to discuss their next plan.

“The people of Nanyue City have learned their lesson. It’s much harder for us to find weaknesses and divide and conquer them like before. If we make a move again, the risk will be too high,” Leng Ruxiang calmly analyzed.

Qin Wu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then let's withdraw as soon as it gets dark today. We've killed over thirty people from Nanyue City, which is pretty good."

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

Looking at the pile of spoils in front of her, Wu Huida said with some resentment, "Are we leaving already? The people of Nanyue City have walked through a treasure trove!"

Looking at Wu Huida's pained expression, Qin Wu said irritably, "Do you think your life is more important or the treasure?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, but their eyes still revealed their unwillingness, realizing that in the end it was because of their own lack of strength.

Qin Wu then entered the system in his mind.

Host: Qin Wu

... ..... ...

Martial Arts Points: 2.43 million

Strength: 71,000 jin

Realm: Late Stage of Transformation

Secret Techniques: Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill (Third Level), Five Elements Spear Technique (Fifth Level), Silent and Unseen (Second Level)

Treasures: Storage Ring (Level 2), Demon-Slaying Revolver

The killings of the past few days have brought Qin Wu a massive amount of martial arts points. Although he didn't kill many of the people himself, the system still gave him a portion of the points.

"It's been a long time since I participated in a lottery. Let's see if the system will give out anything good."

Qin Wu clicked on the lottery in the system.

"Ding! 100,000 martial arts points deducted."

The lottery wheel spun rapidly, then stopped spinning five seconds later.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 1,000 jin of strength."

Qin Wu felt a surge of heat spreading from his dantian throughout his body, and when he clenched his fist, he found that his strength had increased significantly.

"Can lotteries be played like this?"

After drawing twice more and drawing nothing, Qin Wu gritted his teeth and drew one more time.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a special item: God-Slaying Thorn!"

Qin Wu looked at a yellowed scroll in the storage space, a look of doubt in his eyes.

"God-Slaying Thorn? What is that?" (A knife.)

Chapter 365: The Ultimate Weapon! (4)

While everyone was resting, Qin Wu quietly opened the scroll.

God-Slaying Thorn (Simplified Version): A powerful weapon passed down from ancient times, its power was so great that it could kill even a Nascent Soul Realm expert, hence the name God-Slaying Thorn. Due to its excessive killing, it was destroyed and its manufacturing method was lost. This is a later restored version. Although its power is not as great as the original version, it can still kill a Qi-force expert as easily as killing a chicken.

Below the scroll is a ballista, which looks exactly like a siege crossbow in a game on Earth. It is covered with intricate and mysterious patterns. Further down are the methods for making various parts and crossbow bolts. The blood-red crossbow bolts glow with a menacing red light, which makes people shudder.

Upon seeing the introduction, Qin Wu immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This was a powerful weapon; if it could be mass-produced, what city could not be conquered?

If this were given to Lu Acai, it could turn the tide of the entire battle; but if it fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be a tremendous disaster.

Qin Wu was at a loss for what to do. Finally, he sighed deeply and thought, "The Earth is already in grave danger. Why think so far ahead? Solving the immediate problem is the right thing to do."

After Leng Ruxiang and the others had adjusted their bodies to their best condition, the four of them quietly slipped back to Dawn City under the cover of darkness.

After returning to the city, the four parted ways, and Qin Wu immediately went to find Lu Acai.

It was already past midnight when Lu Acai opened the door with a frown and looked at Qin Wu with a puzzled expression.

Ten minutes later, Lu Acai looked up in shock. Her powerful aura was so overwhelming that Qin Wu stumbled back several steps before stopping.

His gaze toward Qin Wu was filled with complex emotions. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said to Qin Wu, "I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the light of hope for mankind."

Qin Wu nodded and then said, "Grandmaster, please keep this a secret for me. I don't want others to know that this was made by me, and you must not let it fall into the hands of anyone with ill intentions."

"Don't worry, I understand the implications of this." Lu Acai didn't ask where this thing came from, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

He then added, "If this God-Slaying Thorn can be successfully created, then the matter of Nanyue City can be put on the agenda."

Afterwards, Lu Acai summoned several grandmasters from Dawn City to a secret chamber. Upon seeing the contents of the scroll, everyone's eyes revealed shock. Had they not exerted their utmost restraint, the secret chamber might have been turned upside down by the grandmasters' aura.

Looking at everyone's reaction, Lu Acai's eyes revealed a hint of smugness, and then she said calmly, "What do you all think?"

Old Bai took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart: "It is truly heaven's help. I have finally seen a glimmer of hope again."

The masters discussed the matter until midnight, and finally Lu Acai took the scroll and rushed back to Earth overnight.

Earth, China.

Zhenwu Sect, Yao Youchong wielded his long spear with such skill that it was impenetrable. His spear technique revealed his extremely chaotic state of mind, a state he had maintained ever since he learned the truth about the Earth's anomalies a few days prior.

His marksmanship was already at the level of "subtlety," and he had few rivals on the Heavenly Ranking. However, after witnessing the battle between Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang and learning that there was a realm of "true mastery" above "subtlety," he practiced diligently every day and finally broke through to the late stage of "transformation."

However, he still felt that his strength was too weak.

Seeing Yao Youchong on the verge of succumbing to demonic possession, the sect leader of Zhenwu Sect sighed and said, "Foolish child, don't you understand the principle that too much of a good thing is bad, and haste makes waste?"

Yao Youchong put away his gun and bowed to his master: "Master, I understand these principles, but the current situation is very urgent. Only now do I realize my own insignificance. If that day really comes, how can I guarantee that the thousand-year-old heritage of my True Martial Sect will not be destroyed..."

A loving look appeared in the eyes of the True Martial Sect Master as he patted Yao Youchong's head: "Go to another plane. Only through constant battles can you grow rapidly."

Almost every sect in China received a special conscription order. What made it special was that it did not forcibly conscript martial artists to fight in another dimension, but rather it was a voluntary act. However, the reason for the Earth's anomaly was explained in the order, and whether to go or not was up to the individual.
