Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15499 Retreat

The centipede formation resembled a centipede struck by a stone. The centipede's phantom flickered a few times, then a muffled thud was heard, and the centipede's form vanished. Immediately after the centipede's disappearance, the skeletons reappeared, but a large portion of them had already been crushed by Qianjixing. At this moment, the remaining centipede formations rushed towards Qianjixing, but he was far too agile. He could roll however he pleased, and the centipede formations couldn't attack him at all. Even if they were hit, they couldn't break through Qianjixing's defenses. Don't forget, Qianjixing also used the Firelight Limitless Formation as their defensive array; the centipede formations couldn't possibly break through it.

The current situation of Thousand Machine Star is that its ranged attacks are not as good as its melee capabilities. This is because among Thousand Machine Star's melee capabilities, there is still the Firelight Limitless Formation that it has not yet used. If it uses the Firelight Limitless Formation, then Thousand Machine Star's melee capabilities will be stronger.

The main reason Gu Wuzheng and the others were training with Qianjixing these past few days was to teach Yantianqiu how to use the Firelight Limitless Array in combat. While Qianjixing's calculation abilities were extremely powerful, he wasn't without weaknesses. When controlling and using arrays, he relied entirely on existing examples, calculating and selecting the most suitable combat strategy for the current situation. However, without examples, Qianjixing couldn't use those arrays effectively, or at least not properly. In other words, the effectiveness of Qianjixing's array command depended entirely on how many examples of array usage he had collected. The more examples he collected, the better he could use the arrays; conversely, the fewer examples he collected, the better he could use them. The fewer data points collected, the fewer data points available for integration. The Firelight Limitless Array is a new array with few precedents, so Thousand Machine Star cannot collect any usage examples. Without these examples, Thousand Machine Star cannot effectively utilize the Firelight Limitless Array. Gu Wuzheng and his group discovered this, and thus, they have been using the Evolutionary Celestial Sphere on Thousand Machine Star to control and use the Firelight Limitless Array. This is essentially teaching the Evolutionary Celestial Sphere how to use the Firelight Limitless Array. However, the Evolutionary Celestial Sphere has not yet collected a large number of data points, so the true power of the Firelight Limitless Array cannot be fully realized. Currently, the Evolutionary Celestial Sphere can only use the Firelight Limitless Array as a defensive array.

During this battle, Gu Wuzheng knew that Qianjixing was unable to use the Firelight Limitless Formation effectively, so he ordered Qianjixing to use the Firelight Limitless Formation only for defense and not for offense.

Even if used only for defense, the Firelight Infinite Array can still play a significant role. So much divine fire and light is no joke. It would be quite difficult for the centipede formation created by the skeleton team to break through the Firelight Infinite Array's defense.

The Skeleton King sat atop the chariot, watching the battle ahead. Being a skeleton, he couldn't possibly display any emotion, but the flickering blue flames in his eyes betrayed some of his feelings. He truly hadn't expected the First Team to be so powerful, and he was even more surprised by the strength of Thousand Machine Star. He could see that their attacks hadn't inflicted much damage on Thousand Machine Star, which wasn't good news for him. He realized that it was virtually impossible for his skeletons to defeat Thousand Machine Star, so he was already considering retreating.

It's not that he doesn't want to take action. With his strength, he's confident he can break through Qianji Star's defenses and defeat them. However, he can't. He already knows there's a powerful expert from the Seven Realms at the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. This expert is incredibly strong. If he doesn't act, the expert won't either. And if he does act, the expert might act as well. Even if he does act then, it won't have much impact on the battle; it will only cause more losses to his skeleton soldiers. So, he really can't act now, because it's pointless.

Of course, the expert he knew was Elder He. Elder He's strength was already quite formidable, especially since he could now control a spatial range of ten miles and influence a range of a hundred miles. With his current strength, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage against the Skeleton King. Therefore, the Skeleton King's idea was correct. If he made a move, Elder He would also make a move, which would only make things more troublesome.

The Skeleton King was unaware of Zhao Hai's existence because Zhao Hai hadn't made many moves at the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Although Zhao Hai had stepped forward for a while before, he hadn't done so since Elder He's breakthrough. In addition, Elder He's performance had been so outstanding recently that it had drawn everyone's attention, and the people in the Divine Realm had forgotten about Zhao Hai.

Moreover, the attackers from the Divine Realm were never the same group each time. Some of them would share intelligence, but not much. Therefore, it was understandable that the Skeleton King was unaware of Zhao Hai's existence. The Skeleton King only knew Elder He as his opponent, and was unaware of Zhao Hai. Even if it were only Elder He, he felt there was no need for him to intervene. So, the Skeleton King remained seated in the carriage, observing the battlefield. After a long while, he murmured, "It seems there's really no chance. Let's retreat. After all, collecting these skeletons wasn't easy." With that, he moved his hand, and in the next instant, all the skeletons retreated, returning to the vicinity of the carriage.

Seeing the skeletons retreat, Gu Wuzheng and his group didn't rush to attack. Instead, they stopped. The Skeleton King glanced at Qianjixing, and in the next instant, a flash of black light appeared, and the Skeleton King and the skeletons all vanished. Seeing this, Gu Wuzheng didn't say anything, but directly ordered Qianjixing to retreat back to the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Elder He, looking at the vanished Skeleton King, smiled and murmured, "Good, very good. I never expected the First Team's combat power to be so formidable. This is good; it means our plans can be brought forward."

Meanwhile, Gu Wuzheng and his team returned to Qianji Star and put it back on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. However, they did not rest because they had not participated in the battle that day and therefore did not need to rest. Gu Wuzheng stood in the command hall and went directly into their team's group chat. He then said in the group chat: "It seems that we must use the Firelight Limitless Array on Qianji Star more often these days. Only in this way can First Team collect more cases about the Firelight Limitless Array, and First Team can form combat power sooner."

Everyone responded. At this moment, Shi Jie spoke up: "Captain, can we enter the Real Illusion Realm to use the Thousand Machine Star for actual combat, and use the Firelight Limitless Formation for combat training? Would the combat training conducted in the Real Illusion Realm be considered a case study of the Firelight Limitless Formation? If so, then we can have the First Team collect enough cases in a short period of time."

Upon hearing Shi Jie's words, Gu Wuzheng was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think it should count. We are currently teaching the First One how to use the Firelight Limitless Formation. So as long as the First One knows that the Firelight Limitless Formation can be used in this way, that's enough. In the future, when facing enemies, he will naturally make the most appropriate adjustments according to the situation. So I think it should be possible. Why don't we try it today? We'll use the Firelight Limitless Formation in the real illusion and see if the First One will accept it as a case study."

Everyone nodded, and Shi Jie said, "Captain, let's try it now. You go into the Real Illusion first, and then command Thousand Machine Star to use the Firelight Limitless Array once. Then see if we can use this as a case study and have the first person to collect it into their database. If the first person collects it, then we can continue to use Thousand Machine Star in the Real Illusion for battle. If not, then there's no need for us to waste our time."

Gu Wuzheng nodded and said, "That makes sense. Okay, I'll try it now. You guys go and rest too." He then left the group chat and returned to his room, entering the Real Illusion. Once inside, he immediately created a Thousand Machine Star and controlled it for a practical combat training session. He had collected some combat data from the Skeleton King's skeleton soldiers, using them as his enemies. He controlled the Thousand Machine Star, using the Firelight Limitless Array. After the training, he immediately saved the data and then exited the Real Illusion. Upon arriving at the command hall, he immediately instructed First to connect to the real illusion and store the details of his combat training into First's database. He wanted to see if this method would work. If it did, it meant First could collect data in this way; if not, then so be it. He was extremely nervous at this moment, wanting to see if First could retrieve the data and store it in the database. It was known that these Heavenly Spheres could directly connect to the real illusion, so downloading some data from the real illusion was not a problem. Gu Wuzheng did this precisely because he knew this.

Soon, the data from his practical training was downloaded by First Person. After First Person downloaded the data, Gu Wuzheng immediately said, "First Person, open this data and see if it can be added to the Firelight Limitless Array use case database." After saying that, he stared nervously at the projection in front of him.

The next thing he heard was the first voice: "Yes, open the data, open the data, import the data into the Firelight Limitless Array use case database, import successful, this case can be added to the Firelight Limitless Array use case database."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wuzheng was overjoyed. He immediately entered the team group and said, "Success! Conducting practical training in a realistic illusion can indeed be used as a case study and absorbed by the top team."
