Marvel Superheroes in China

This is an enormous pillar that is entirely dark blue!

It is estimated that it would take fifty or sixty adult men to barely encircle it.

The trunk was not as rough as ordinary tree trunks; instead, it was crystal clear, with strands of blue silk thread running through it, and crescent-shaped objects could be faintly seen inside.

"No wonder this place is called South Moon City..."

Qin Wu's face turned pale. He looked up at the towering tree, his heart pounding, and his teeth chattering.

A trembling voice echoed in my heart:

"This tree... it's really become a demon! Does it have intelligence? It's not hard to understand that animals can be commanded, but can plants be too?"

However, the world is full of wonders, and anything is possible.

Standing by the tree, Qin Wu began to speculate to himself.

"It's so big, how much spiritual energy can it store? If it explodes, it'd probably require a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Will Lu Acai be their match?

Qin Wu shook his head, "Not necessarily."

At the same time, Qin Wu frowned and thought to himself.

Just how big is the mine in Nanyue City that it can support such a large spirit tree and millions of people in Nanyue City?

Nanyue City was much larger than Qin Wu had imagined.

There is no end in sight!

The only thing you can see is this towering tree in front of you.

After entering the city gate, a wide continent paved with stones came into view.

Each continent led in a different direction, and Qin Wu was puzzled, unsure which way to go.

Back in the United States, Qin Wu could ask questions without restraint using body language.

But here, Qin Wu dared not ask, nor could he ask! It was a matter of life and death!

Instead of acting rashly, they stood still for a while and observed the surrounding situation.

"Most ordinary people walk forward or to the left, but martial artists seem to walk to the right, including those carrying prey or goods. All martial artists walk to the right, and behind them is the city gate."

Qin Wu frowned, his eyes hardening as he looked at the vast continent to his right and made up his mind.

Go to the right.

……

Walking along the roadside, you'll see various shops and some residences on both sides of the stone-paved road.

All kinds of clothes, weapons, medicinal herbs, and so on... are available.

Keep going forward, and there are fewer and fewer people the further you go.

Qin Wu frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

After walking for several kilometers, they found themselves in a vast, empty square, devoid of buildings and filled entirely with martial artists.

"My God..."

Qin Wu's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Looking around, all that could be seen were martial artists, a dense, overwhelming mass that stretched as far as the eye could see!

These martial artists carried various prey or items, found an open space, and casually laid them out without shouting. However, other martial artists soon went up to look at them.

"market?"

Qin Wu muttered something under his breath.

The items for sale here include the corpses, hearts, fur, and teeth of demonic beasts, and these items also carry traces of spiritual energy fluctuations. I did see a few familiar medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, I didn't see any spirit stones. There were quite a few alloys, but they were all around grade A or B; I didn't see a single grade S alloy.

Qin Wu was slightly disappointed. He glanced down at the Five Elements Spear in his hand, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. He sighed inwardly, "Does Nan Yue City also lack S-grade alloy? It seems this weapon won't be replaced anytime soon."

Qin Wu didn't just stand there the whole time. He casually looked around and also checked the strength of these people. They were mostly at the Inner Strength Transformation Realm, and he hardly saw any Gang Strength Realm people.

As I walked, my ears kept twitching as I listened to the conversations of these people.

Qin Wu (Liao Liao Zhao) had some experience in communicating with the beings from other planes, and could generally guess their meaning with a high degree of accuracy.

"Have you heard? Nanyue City is recruiting soldiers soon!"

"Of course. The battle between Nanyue City and Shuguang City resulted in heavy losses, with many soldiers killed. We definitely need to recruit new soldiers. Moreover, this recruitment is also for the opening of the Fountain of Life. As long as the newly recruited soldiers can absorb a breath of the Fountain of Life, they can instantly break through from the Inner Strength Realm to the Transcendent Realm and truly be considered soldiers."

"It seems that Nanyue City has put in a lot of effort to swallow up Shuguang City this time. But with so many people in Nanyue City, why should they be afraid of humans?"

"You have no idea, in the battle two days ago, a total of a thousand martial artists were killed or wounded in Nanyue City!"

.......

Chapter 291: Time to get down to business. (2)

Qin Wu's heart pounded as he listened.

"Conscription?! Over a thousand martial artists have died?! Are Lu Acai and the others that powerful?"

Qin Wu raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, his confidence in Dawn City increased. As he listened to the people discussing the conscription, Qin Wu had a definite answer in his heart.

"The army that went out yesterday numbered about three thousand, with more than a thousand killed or wounded. Even among the remaining Gang Jin experts, more than a dozen were killed or wounded... Now, the army in the city probably only has twenty or thirty thousand left, and there are at most no more than 30 Gang Jin experts."

Qin Wu was somewhat surprised to hear that more than a dozen members of the Gang Jin sect had died.

"It seems that Chen Baima and the others really put in a lot of effort yesterday."

Thinking of this, Qin Wu's expression became even more resolute, and his eyes became more confident.

"Now that Dawn City is alright for the time being, I can go all out and get things done."

After thinking for a while, Qin Wu suddenly had an idea.

"South Moon City is built on top of a spirit stone mine! That tree!"

Qin Wu didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly turned around and walked back.

Qin Wu walked for almost an hour in Nanyue City, but still hadn't reached the end of City 227, and that blue tree was still so dazzling.

The crystal-clear blue branches are almost reaching the clouds.

"How many years has this tree lived? How much energy has it absorbed? If such a tree were brought back to Dawn City... tsk tsk, Dawn City would probably become a holy land for cultivation, and it's not impossible that hundreds of grandmasters would emerge from it at once."

As they drew closer, Qin Wu stared wide-eyed at the blue tree trunk. For a fleeting moment, he really wanted to cut it down and take it back with him.

The crystal-clear tree trunk is an absolutely top-notch material, whether used as raw material or for weapons.

He swallowed hard and glanced down at the Five Elements Spear in his hand.

"Can the tree trunk be compared to S-grade alloy? No, maybe it's even tougher than S-grade alloy, or perhaps it can be used to forge a divine weapon? A divine weapon is a good thing."

The blue liquid flowing from the tree trunk also contains countless spiritual energies; if used as raw materials for pills, it could probably produce countless pills…”

Standing in front of the tree, Qin Wu muttered to himself for a while, then began to observe carefully, thinking about finding a place to stay, as wandering around like this might attract attention.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Qin Wu's mind.

A smile played on his lips as he thought to himself, "Digging a tunnel, that might be worth a try!"

On the ground, Qin Wu dared not act recklessly, but underground... If Qin Wu concealed his aura, as long as he didn't cause a big commotion, even a Grandmaster might not be able to find him.

"Just do it!"

Having made up his mind, Qin Wu first found an inn, handed over the spirit stones and coins he had just seized, and chose a room that was close to the big tree to stay in.

inside the room.

Qin Wu lay on the stone bed, staring at the ceiling with his round eyes, sometimes pouting, sometimes frowning.

"We've gathered enough intelligence; it's time to get down to business."

The so-called "real business" was digging a tunnel.

Qin Wu had basically found out the number of Grandmasters, Qi Refining experts, and Transcendent Realm experts; there was no need to inquire about the others.

Leng Ruxiang and the others were still waiting outside the city. They didn't know the extent of the casualties in Dawn City, and the Five Elements Spear they had was also a problem.

Qin Wu slowly sat up, his sharp gaze fixed on the big tree outside the window, and sighed, "Time is tight, we can't afford to delay any longer."

With a tree this big, there must be an incredibly large spirit stone mine underground. Nan Yue City definitely wouldn't be completely unprepared.

Frowning at the large tree outside, Qin Wu's expression was complicated as he muttered to himself, "How do I get in..."

……

At the same time that Qin Wu infiltrated Nanyue City, Shuguang City, a thousand miles away from Nanyue City...

The battlefield had been cleaned up, and apart from the horrifying scars and streaks of blood on the ground, there was no one there.

Dawn City looked the same as before, with soldiers standing on and around the city walls, looking solemnly into the distance.

Inside the city.

The number of martial artists had decreased significantly, and the once noisy streets had become quiet. A few martial artists walked side by side on the road, their expressions somber.

War is cruel.
