Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Not everyone has the will to fight to the death. When faced with danger, most people would choose to retreat. The same is true for the chief of the Snowman tribe. If he were a real chief, truly shouldering the fate of the race, his choice might be a little different. But as someone who knows the truth, he knows very well that his race has no future. Even if he risks his life. Even if he risks his own people. Facing the danger and catching up with those thieves, what would that mean? At most, he would get a few compliments from the immortals. But what's the point of these compliments? For a race destined to be slaves, it is meaningless.

Because of this, he was unwilling to take any risks. How many times could the enemy release this kind of attack? No one knew. If he could release it once more, would he also be hit and die?

There was no need to take that risk. At most, they could exaggerate the enemy's strength when they returned. A slightly exaggerated description would be enough to dispel the immortals' suspicion. After all, seeing is believing. They saw with their own eyes a powerful attack that was enough to kill them instantly. Logically, this was beyond the level of the fifth turn. It was no longer something they could handle.

On the other side of the battlefield, He Cheng was panting rapidly, his Xuan Qi reserves were seriously insufficient. Although the effect of the attack just displayed was different from what he imagined, it undoubtedly consumed a large amount of the legion's Xuan Qi, and now there was no sufficient replenishment.

Under this premise, He Cheng did not choose to retreat immediately. Instead, he stayed where he was and pretended to be ready to launch a second time. This move was very risky. They could not launch a second attack of this level. Even if he had enough energy, he might not succeed if he tried again.

This choice also saved the entire legion. If he chose to retreat immediately, then even the leader of the snowman on the opposite side would not be able to see their true strength. He could also judge from their reaction that the opponent was in the weakest state. But at this time, they chose to use the empty city strategy. They kept the legion in place and pretended to be ready to shoot. This immediately made people unpredictable.

After the enemy retreated, He Cheng ordered the entire army to retreat, and the soldiers who stayed behind to block the enemy did not suffer many casualties in this battle. This was already a miracle. The soldiers who experienced this battle also truly experienced a life-and-death moment and struggled desperately.

Even though most of them are newly reorganized recruits, this force can already be considered an elite one.

After He Cheng seized this wave, instead of thinking of restraining himself, he thought that he should take the initiative to attack next. While the troops were retreating for supplies, he also quickly expanded his army of several thousand people. After experiencing the previous battle, the soldiers under his command can now serve as the backbone core, thereby greatly expanding the size of the army.

In a short time, he expanded the size of the army to 30,000 again. This number was almost the limit of his flexible command and dispatch. If the number exceeded this, the army would not be able to cooperate closely with each other, and the combat effectiveness of the army might decline.

At the same time, the troops returning to the underground base also brought back a large amount of supplies. With this batch of supplies, all walks of life in the underground base began to operate more efficiently. At the same time, according to the situation of material reserves, the underground base government also prepared to upgrade the overall industry.

As an elite Gu maker in the underground base, Xiao Lu clearly felt that his industry was undergoing industrial upgrading. The official resources were tilted and began to increase. Before, when he wanted to refine new Gu worms and apply for experimental resources, most of the applications would be rejected. But now many applications with higher feasibility have been approved.

Xiao Lu is one of Lan Nuo's many clones, countless clones have been integrated into the working people. The postures they show are different, but they are almost perfectly integrated into it.

Xiao Lu was the one who showed the highest talent among the many clones. In some aspects, he was even stronger than the main body that had died. This depended on the body he was using. Due to technical limitations, clones' bodies would always have mutations of one kind or another. Most of the time, these mutations were harmful and would prevent Lan Nuo from being able to rely on his own memory to display his full potential.

But there are exceptions occasionally, such as Xiao Lu.

Although his body was relatively weak, his balance was the best among all clones, even stronger than the main body. This allowed him to be very stable when refining Gu worms. Not long after entering the industry, he had already gained considerable fame. In today's Gu worm laboratory, he was at least considered the number one expert.

However, in this underground place, there are people with stronger talents than him. After all, they are not the real body. It is natural for the real chosen ones to show stronger talents than him. And the current laboratory director Ding Zhengying is such a genius.

Lan Nuo has almost reproduced all the Gu worms that can be produced under the current conditions in his memory. The next step is to continuously expand his production capacity. Based on the current conditions, he will try to produce supplements that are more suitable for the battlefield environment.

The party with higher technology may not be able to help them design the most suitable Gu worm. Only the warriors who have truly experienced the battlefield at that level can summarize the most effective experience.

Xiao Lu is now working for such a somewhat neurotic boss. This is the 7th day that this guy has been working day and night. It is also thanks to the strong physical fitness of the people in this world that they can still hold on after not sleeping for 7 days and 7 nights. If it were an earthling, he would probably have died suddenly.

But Ding Zhengying seemed to be enjoying it. She was scratching her messy hair and scratching her head at the experimental report submitted by Xiao Lu.

"Why is it like this? We have used such precious materials, but what we refined is still only a fifth-level Gu worm." "Director, you should take a rest. The fifth level is already a very high-level Gu worm. Have you forgotten that when you refined a second-level Gu worm, you were so excited that you couldn't sleep all day. Although our refining efficiency is a little higher than outside, high-level Gu worms are still extremely precious. The recent success in refining Gu worms is worth celebrating. Compared with the gains and losses of one or two Gu worms, talents are more important to us, so you should take a rest." Xiao Lu was really afraid that his director would die suddenly. This guy is equivalent to a genius picked from a million people. He can never compare to him. If people like him can grow up in the future, they will definitely become masters. But if he continues to endure like this, he might really die suddenly one day.

"No, no, no, how can the fifth level be enough? Our resources are already quite sufficient. We should not consider ordinary fifth-level Gu worms, but sixth-level Immortal Gu. That is what we should really pursue." Ding Zhengying is different from those traditional Gu refining masters. Because he was born in the wild. He was born a commoner. So he did not have that kind of innate awe for the level of Gu worms. Even if ordinary Gu refining masters reached the fifth level, they would not dare to claim that they could refine the sixth-level Immortal Gu. However, because he lacked the knowledge of the difficulty in this regard, he made her more confident.

"Boss, you should first figure out the difficulty of refining the Sixth Turn Gu worm, okay. That thing really cannot be made in a short time. The materials we have collected are not enough to refine the Sixth Turn Gu worm. Unless we can temporarily create a formula for the Sixth Turn Gu worm based on the existing materials. But this is so difficult. Even if we have already understood part of the rules of the operation of the Dao Mark during the refining process, there is still a huge gap from designing a formula for the Sixth Turn Gu worm. In this world, unless you have reached the level of a Dao Refining Grandmaster, you can be more confident in refining the Sixth Turn Gu worm. And usually, you need Immortal Essence to successfully refine the Sixth Turn Gu worm, and that is something that only Immortals can do."

Ding Zhengying shook his head: "Who says only immortals can do it? Aren't there many people in history who have refined immortal Gu without reaching the sixth level? This thing is our strategic weapon. If we have the conditions, we must do it. If we don't have the conditions, we must create the conditions to do it. Without this strategic weapon as a deterrent, how can we gain a foothold on this grassland? Whatever people in history have been able to do, we must do it.

Keep working overtime with me. You are the only one in the institute who can keep up with my thinking. Don't try to find a chance to slack off and shoot. I will keep an eye on you."

Xiao Lu rubbed his dark circles, and wanted to die. He was just an ordinary clone. He also wanted to be lazy. He also wanted to have more time to rest, but he met such a crazy boss, and everyone in the department was a workaholic. The atmosphere vaguely made him feel as if he had seen in a documentary, the atmosphere when a certain Eastern country on Earth secretly developed nuclear bombs.

It was as if they had gathered all their strength, and even if the conditions were insufficient, even if they had to use an abacus to calculate, they were determined to create a strategic weapon that could deter the enemy.

Xiao Lu sighed and silently submitted his research report. He couldn't relax at all following this group of people. There were real geniuses among them. That was why he had to try his best to keep up with them.

Fortunately, he has reached a certain level now, and is in the process of proving the feasibility report. With the current level of the underground base, it is theoretically possible to refine the rank 6 Immortal Gu. Many scientific researchers have worked together to come up with a theoretically feasible plan, but if they follow this plan, they may only have one chance of failure at most. After failing twice, it will be difficult to gather enough materials.

"It's similar to what I had in mind before. Theoretically, only this insect can be successfully refined. Everyone, if this insect is successfully refined, how about we name it the Starry Gu?"

The experimental facility fell into a brief discussion, and then the name was finalized. If this project can be successful, the sixth-level Gu worm produced will be called the Star-pulling Gu. Compared with the previous name, this name is more in line with the effect of this Gu worm.

According to the theory, once it is successfully refined, this insect will have the power to borrow starlight. Through the traction of starlight, it can create a gravitational force out of thin air. It can even draw chains from the starry sky and imprison powerful enemies in mid-air.

Developing a killer move with this insect as the core can maximize the efficient use of energy. It can achieve the effect of using 4 ounces to move a thousand pounds. It consumes the least energy and inflicts the greatest damage.

This actually coincides with the current situation of insufficient foundation of the underground base. Compared with the Golden Family of the Dan 11 family, their foundation has surpassed it, but compared with the real immortals, the gap is still too big. And all along, a large number of scientific research departments have been conducting their own research with the goal of dealing with the ancestors. From the beginning, their perspective was higher than that of the ordinary Golden Family, and the enemies they targeted were of a higher level. Although the gap between the two sides is like clouds and mud, they have opened up a huge gap between them and the ordinary Golden Family by taking one step after another down to earth.

Now the Star-pulling Gu project is officially on the agenda. Xiao Lu also began to test the Gu worms. The first thing to be clear is the Gu recipe. Even the most excellent Taoist master will have a close to zero success rate if he encounters a Gu recipe that is illogical and irrelevant. On the other hand, an excellent Gu recipe can greatly reduce the difficulty of refining.

Xiao Lu's current task is to continuously split the refining steps one by one and simplify them as much as possible. To simplify, it is bound to involve a large number of refining experiments of different Gu worms.

Many of them must first be refined by the Gu worms themselves, and then taken out for further refining. But not all Gu worms are harmless to humans and animals. Gu refining masters must use their own bodies to feel the reactions of Gu worms, so that they can make the right choices in the most intuitive way during the refining process. This is like the old masters in the factory who often have to take off their gloves and use their fingers to touch carefully to find out the problems with the machine.

For immortals, the poisonous insects are harmless to humans and animals. For ordinary people, it may be a disaster. Even if these insects are refined, they may cause various damages to their bodies. However, in order to create the strategic-level fifth-turn poisonous insects as soon as possible, the entire team did not hesitate to refine the dangerous insects themselves, and then designed and formulated the most stable and reasonable refining method. Just like when scientific researchers face radioactive substances, they will continue to refine them carefully and increase the concentration even though they know it is dangerous.
