Chapter 79: Troop Type Upgrade

  That fiery red wolf, acting swiftly, exchanged blows with the Lin family's hunters who wielded large swords. Its mouth occasionally spewed out flames, causing the hunters to become flustered. Although its aura, tinged with a reddish glow, was fierce and could create intense flame marks when striking the ground, its martial skills were average and couldn't land a hit on the wolf. The wolf jumped left and right, spewing out waves of flames in attack, until it accidentally got burned on its thigh, becoming charred.

  He retreated in a flurry, and in the midst of his frantic scrambling, this wolf spewed out a ball of flames that shot onto his face. He let out a blood-curdling scream, losing all sense of direction. The wolf seized the opportunity to pounce forward, its jaws locked onto his neck, and with a toss of its head, it flung him three zhang away. His neck snapped, and he fell to the ground dead.

  The position where it was thrown happened to be not far from Guo Fei, just under the thick bushes below his big tree. Guo Fei's mind stirred, his palm turned upwards, a faint light flashed by, and its body disappeared.

  A master of the Lin family was beheaded, and two other masters who were entangled with the wolf king, although not at a disadvantage, saw that things were not going well and hastily retreated to Lin Chen's side, driving away the pack of wolves that had surrounded Lin Chen. They protected several people and hastily retreated.

  The battle lasted for an hour, and the Lin family's hunting team of forty or fifty people was left with only ten men. The rest were torn apart by the ferocious wolf pack that feared no death. The wolf pack also lost two or three hundred bodies, leaving less than two hundred heads.

  Lin Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and if it weren't for his subordinates holding him back tightly, he would have rushed up to fight to the death. Lin Shan seemed a bit fearful, her small face pale, following behind her brother, her body covered in bloodstains.

  The wolf pack slowed down, no longer launching a fierce attack. These beasts had three-headed wolves with spiritual intelligence commanding them, and they were not reckless and brainless "fools". They also suffered heavy losses. The three-headed wolf let out a low growl, the wolf pack gathered together, staring intently at Lin Chen and the other ten people.

  "Master, they've stopped and are threatening us, telling us to leave!" Liu Shu seemed to understand a bit of the beast language, looked at the wolf pack in front and hastily said to Lin Chen.

  "No way, we must avenge our fallen brother! Even Zhao Ge is dead, what face do we have to go back?" Lin Zhenyuan roared in anger. When had Linjia Village suffered such a great loss?

  "Master, no! If anything happens to you, the old master won't forgive us. We can die, but you are the hope of Linjia Village! This is all my fault, I was careless! I should be the one to die!" Liu Shu held onto Lin Chen tightly and burst into tears.

  "Fall back!" Lin Chen's face turned iron-gray, he thought for a moment, then let out an unwilling roar and retreated with several wounded men.

  The wolf pack stared at them with a piercing gaze, but did not give chase.

  "Hiss!" Watching them walk away, Guo Fei's body floated down to the bottom of the tree, and in an instant, he summoned the Golden Fur Roar, transforming into a halberdier. With his long spear at the ready, the Golden Fur Roar transformed into a residual shadow that charged towards the chaotic rock cluster.

  The three-headed wolf seemed unsurprised, a hint of mockery flashing in its humanized eyes. It let out a low growl and a group of wolves jumped up to surround them. Guo Fei unleashed his fierce wind gun technique, and with Jin Mao's assistance, they instantly killed four or five of the surrounding wolves. They charged towards the chaotic rock cluster.

  At the same time, a tall figure rushed out of the cave in the rocky thicket, and six figures followed closely behind, forming a goose formation and charging towards the wolf pack. The gray fur fluttered, the wolf corpses rolled over, and in an instant, a bloody path was cleared, rushing towards Guo Fei.

  These seven people were the seven corpse soldiers. Behind them, Hu Xiaoyue also rushed out, her body floating as if flying, like a gentle and boneless clear wind, swirling and fluttering like a wisp of light smoke. The two ice spider silk ribbons danced in the wind, emitting a thick cold air. She swept at the pack of wolves, looking soft but the moment they touched the wolf's body, it was like a steel whip that sent them flying out, covering their entire body with a layer of ice crystals.

  Three-headed wolf's eyes revealed a shocking anger, they besieged the eight people for a day and night, unexpectedly the eight people still had such combat power. Especially the seven-person formation, in front of the vast rocky hills, issued a huge power, like rolling wheels crushing over, all the way down the wolves' corpses, really bloody rivers, fallen bodies everywhere.

  In the blink of an eye, Guo Fei and the eight people converged in one place. The three-headed wolf was afraid, roughly looking at this round of battle, nearly a hundred corpses were lost again, leaving only less than a hundred wolves left. They knew that once the wolf tribe suffered heavy losses, it would be difficult to stand firm on the Black Rock Plateau, so they reluctantly let out a roar and retreated.

  "Master!" Hu Xiaoyue's face was deathly pale, her body covered in bloodstains, as she called out softly, tears already streaming down her face. In the days since Guo Fei had been gone, she had been unyieldingly strong, issuing commands with determination and courage in the face of danger, without a hint of weakness even when faced with the undead soldiers. But now, seeing Guo Fei, her strength vanished instantly, revealing a weak and gentle side like that of a young girl.

  After the wolf pack retreated, seven corpse soldiers actually sat paralyzed on the ground, showing how great the consumption was. The battle just now was completely a desperate struggle, and it was the ferocity that erupted after seeing Guo Fei being surrounded by the wolves, after all, Guo Fei was their "father" in their hearts.

  The eyes of the seven people looking at Guo Fei all showed surprise. The bronze armor on their bodies was scratched everywhere, their clothes were tattered and worn out, and four of the dead soldiers' helmets were lost. Thick bloodstains were smeared all over their bodies, emitting a foul smell of blood, filled with intense killing intent.

  But the harvest was clearly extremely obvious. Guo Fei took a closer look and found that the bodies of the seven corpse soldiers had undergone tremendous changes, especially the big man and the knight, whose faces had become plump and looked like normal people, except for their pale complexion. This made Guo Fei very surprised, as he didn't understand the ghost tribe's cultivation methods and didn't know what was going on.

  Hu Xiaoyue was also panting and lying on the stone, her clothes were damaged in many places, faintly revealing her delicate skin, but her body was also covered with bloodstains, she must have killed a lot of wild beasts and monsters.

  "Master, this pack of wolves has three huge spiritual stones in their den. We stole one and left two behind. They chased us for 2,000 miles, surrounding us here, but we also annihilated most of their tribe."

  Hu Xiaoyue's face showed a hint of delight and pride, with a slightly spoiled tone, she said, waving her hand, a piece of about three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter high earthy yellow spirit stone appeared in front of her, emitting a rich earth attribute yuanqi, stunning Guo Fei. This was a huge spirit stone, which, when split up, would yield at least 10,000 pieces according to the mainland's spirit stone size specifications. It had actually been stored away by Hu Xiaoyue into the Qiankun Ring.

  Guo Fei's divine consciousness stirred, probing into the space of the military symbol. This time, the surprise was even more exciting than the spiritual stone brought by Hu Xiaoyue.

  In the military symbol space, information shows that Hu Xiaoyue has reached Dancer 4th level, Da Gezi and the knight have reached Corpse Soldier 5th level, and the rest of the corpse soldiers have all reached 4th level. I don't know how many wild beasts and demon beasts they slaughtered in these few days to achieve such accomplishments.

  Not only that, but at the moment they approached the soldier's space within ten meters, a burst of light flashed in the soldier's space, and the light was overwhelming. The soldier's space had been upgraded to level three, and the number of soldiers that could be cultivated had increased by 7, reaching 44.

  Guo Fei suddenly understood. It turned out that the slaughter of his own troops could also increase the upgrade of the military symbol space. After the military symbol space was upgraded, the commander's hall and the barracks became more spacious and magnificent, and the grid in the barracks gradually transformed into a room-like style. The coffin of the dead soldiers also became grander, as if it was going to expand into a huge tomb-like structure.

  Furthermore, the distance for deploying troops has also increased. Originally, it was only within a range of ten meters, but now it seems to have increased to thirty meters. Although it appears to be just a simple increase in distance, for Guo Fei, this is extremely important. Silently surrounding the enemy within a range of thirty meters is an invisible "killer move".

  What made Guo Fei puzzled was that his military symbol upgrade seemed to be calculated based on the level of the general in the game, and if so, 200 soldiers would be the limit. If that's the case, Guo Fei's military symbol space could cultivate at most 200 soldiers, and he would also need to upgrade his military symbol space to around level 30. Under such restrictions, the power of the military symbol would be greatly reduced.

  However, Guo Fei had a hunch that this military order had left the virtual space of the game and was no longer bound by its rules. Perhaps it could be infinitely upgraded and leveled up, but upgrading was also extremely difficult. So far, he had killed so many living beings and only managed to level up to level three. He wondered when he would be able to cultivate a thousand soldiers.
