Because you have already reached realms that others cannot reach, you know how to walk that path, and the door to the world has already opened to you.
This forbidden object is something that awakened people all over the world dream of.
The containment condition for this forbidden item is: you must shoot yourself in the temple once a day, otherwise a real bullet will be randomly replaced in the revolver.
Whether it's an upgrade or a downgrade, the host has to accept it.
Now let's talk about the latter, the silhouette of the forbidden substance ACE-026:
This is a pair of scissors that can cut off one's own shadow, allowing the shadow to transform into an independent entity with strength comparable to its host.
Containment conditions: It can only be used once every 24 hours, and after the shadow is cut off, it must return to its host within 24 hours, otherwise it will develop self-awareness and aim to kill the host.
It is said that the person who extracted it was Xu Xianchu, a general of the Northwest Army a thousand years ago.
It's important to know that not all forbidden items can be used in combat, and these two brothers not only awakened A-rank abilities, but also possess two forbidden items that can be directly used in combat.
No wonder the settlement couldn't win.
There are two possibilities. One is that the younger brother originally possessed B-rank strength, and then fired an upgrade bomb, becoming A-rank for a day, which made Zard and the others feel pressured.
Another possibility is that the younger brother himself possesses A-level strength.
That would be terrifying. What if this younger brother suddenly unleashed an upgrade missile one day? Then they would be facing a demigod!
Da Yu felt that the latter possibility was actually more likely. After all, if the younger brother was only B-grade, then the benefits would be maximized if both forbidden items were gathered in the older brother's hands.
After all, demigods are priceless.
He looked at Zard: "So the other side is just testing you so far, and hasn't made a move yet. They're waiting for that bullet that will make him a demigod! When that happens, we'll all die!"
Da Yu sighed with admiration. No wonder these two brothers were able to start their march to unify the wilderness. With that kind of fighting power, they could basically roam freely in the wilderness!
Other families, when faced with an opponent of this caliber, have no choice but to kneel down.
Zard said, "Don't worry, he only has a one in six chance every day. He might not even get a chance to become a demigod in a year."
"How can you be so optimistic!" Da Yu felt helpless.
That's a demigod!
"What do you want to eat for breakfast?" Zard asked. "I caught a litter of wild boars for the villagers yesterday, and we still have a hind leg left. I'll roast it for you."
Da Yu asked, "Don't change the subject. I'm asking you, what will those people do after they merge with other families? Will they grant them autonomy or will everyone have to obey them completely?"
“Of course we’ll obey completely,” Zard said. “The first time they sent us, they told us to hand over all the women in exchange for sparing the men’s lives and making them their vassals.”
“Then there’s no possibility of reconciliation,” Da Yu nodded. “If they were wilderness people, they might just give in; they don’t have such a strong sense of dignity. But this settlement has a large number of city dwellers and time travelers; they are unlikely to accept these conditions.”
Da Yu continued, "Listen to me, the thing we should do most right now is to gather all our strength and actively seek out war with them, instead of playing these puns about 'Da Yu controls the waters'! We must kill them before one of them breaks through to demigod status and then steal their forbidden artifact!"
“Ah,” Zard exclaimed, like a straight man in a comedy duo, “Great idea.”
"When was the last time they attacked the settlement?" Da Yu asked.
“Sixteen days ago in the Otherworld,” Zard said.
Da Yu fell into deep thought. Sixteen days had passed, and the opponent hadn't even become a demigod once? After all, if the opponent had become a demigod, they would have attacked long ago.
There are only two possibilities: the first is that this little guy in the wilderness is just incredibly unlucky.
The second possibility is that there's something wrong with the probability of this revolver firing. It's not that all bullets have an equal one-sixth chance. Instead, it's like a game in the real world where you're given a 3x3 grid, and even though "thank you for participating" only occupies one square, you get "thank you for participating" 99 times out of 100...
The last time was just a consolation prize.
The probability of this revolver having an upgraded bullet is extremely small; otherwise, the enemy would have already trampled this place to the ground.
Da Yu is not a weak or indecisive person. Since he plans to stay here for a while, he must resolve this matter!
"Let's go find Yangyang, Nangong Yuanyu, and the others. We need to take the initiative," Da Yu said as he walked out the door.
Zard's eyes lit up. He didn't care about anything else, as long as Da Yu was willing to stay here, otherwise he would have to walk for several more days to walk back with Xiao Yu...
I'm so tired.
Xiaoyu cried as she walked.
The two had just stepped out when Da Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks. He saw an old woman with a little girl in front of him. Both of them were adorned with gold and silver jewelry, which hung in circles on their wrists and necks, making a pleasant tinkling sound as they walked.
They wore navy blue short-sleeved tops and long skirts that went past their knees, and tall hats with ethnic characteristics on their heads.
Beside these two women were two old men, their bodies entirely golden.
Golden Corpse!
Da Yu felt a chill run down his spine. How did he end up running into the Lian people? Weren't they supposed to stay away from Xiuzhu Prefecture?
Moreover, the Lian Clan's corpse training is divided into bronze corpses, silver corpses, and gold corpses. Being able to control a gold corpse is already the highest level, equivalent to an A-level superhuman in the outside world!
But then they saw the old woman and the young girl strolling around the settlement as if no one else was around. Sometimes the traveler would take out the medicine they had brought and try to trade it with them for some local specialties from Xiuzhu Prefecture.
For example, herbs, small animals, and parasites...
They would even patiently teach the young Time Walker how to use the Gu worms, which ones could cure diseases, which ones could poison people, and which ones could strengthen her body...
As Da Yu stared at the two men, the two old golden corpses turned to look at him at the same time.
This golden corpse has clearly gained sentience!
The old woman and the girl turned to look, only to see the girl's eyes light up: "Grandma, help me take him back!"
Da Yu: "?"
The Lian tribe is indeed dangerous; they want to kidnap people as soon as they meet, and they want to fight as soon as they meet!
Da Yu became wary!
The old lady patiently said, "Lianhua, they don't kidnap people here. It's different from where we're from. We have to do as the locals do."
Zard chuckled and said, "It's alright, don't be so polite with us, I can bring my own dowry."
Da Yu glared at him, what was all this nonsense?
But then the old lady took the young girl Lianhua and continued shopping. The girl kept turning back to look at Dayu, as if she was still thinking about him.
The old lady said in a low voice, "Lianhua, don't stare at him. If you really want him, we can sneak over tonight and feed him the Crimson Heart Gu..."
“But my Crimson Heart Gu isn’t fully grown yet,” Lianhua said dejectedly.
"It's alright, let's wait a bit longer. We'll come and ambush him once your Crimson Heart Gu is fully developed. Once he's infected with the Crimson Heart Gu, he'll be yours," the old woman said with a smile, her words laced with extreme ferocity...
Fortunately, Da Yu didn't hear it, otherwise he would have packed up and run away that very night.
In the settlement's council hall, Da Yu looked at Yang Yang, Sun Chu Ci, Nan Gong Yuan Yu, Qing Ling, and Li Cheng opposite him and said, "We must take the initiative and kill those brothers before their forbidden artifact takes effect. Otherwise, if they create a demigod, we will all suffer."
Yangyang said, "That's what I thought too, but the problem is that they usually only probe. Once Qingling and Licheng go out to scout, the other side runs away again. The other side is different from ordinary wilderness people. They are not reckless at all. I have summoned the companions of Spade, but it will take them a while to arrive."
Da Yu frowned. What should he do? He couldn't just wait to die like this, could he?
...
...
Fifty kilometers east of their settlement, the Gao brothers were gathering the Liu, Tuoba, Zhou, and Wei families to discuss strategy.
Thousands of wilderness dwellers set up a temporary camp here, and there were nearly a hundred off-road vehicles parked outside the camp, with people in the vehicles guarding them with crude firearms.
The important figures gathered around the campfire, each draped in wolf or mink skins, their clothing also made of animal hides.
The Gao brothers looked to be around forty years old. The elder brother was named Gao Long, and the younger brother was named Gao Hu.
Gao Long grabbed a leg of lamb, cut off a piece of meat with a knife, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The leader of the Liu clan asked, "There are experts hiding in that settlement. We've tried to probe them several times but have been repelled each time. Moreover, the spies in that settlement are all very cautious, just like the Federal Army. Should we just give up? If we really fight, everyone will suffer heavy losses."
Gao Long said, "The matter is very simple. We must take over that settlement. Putting aside the tens of thousands of people and those beautiful women, we can leave that aside for now. The time travelers in that settlement are what we need most. You know what time travelers are, right? They are people who can travel between two worlds. They have appeared in the wilderness before, but Gao Hu killed them all."
"Timewalkers?" the Wei clan leader asked. "What can they do?"
"They can bring medicine, salt, and sugar. With them, the livelihoods of each of our families will be secured," Gao Long said, looking down at everyone in front of him. "As for the experts in the settlement, don't worry. When the time is right, Gao Hu and I will take care of them. Once we take it down, I'll take half of the women in the settlement, and you can share the rest."
Just then, two burly men escorted a boy covered in rags and mud: "Dad, this kid was on his way to join the farmers at the settlement, but we intercepted him."
Gao Long looked at the boy: "What's your name?"
"Little Tu," the boy said fearfully.
"Why did you defect from the production base?" Gao Long asked.
"The Chen family wanted to take us to a forbidden place, but my parents covered my escape and told me to run south. There's a settlement of wilderness people there," the boy said tremblingly.
Chapter 711, Brothers, Hearts Connected
The boy named Xiaotu's clothes were so dirty that they were unrecognizable, as if he had been rolling in a mud pit.
His face was also dirty, and you couldn't tell what he originally looked like.
The two burly men escorted Xiao Tu forward.
Gao Hu suddenly said, "Stop."
"Have you searched this kid?" Gao Long looked at him coldly. "Tell him to stay away from the campfire. I've said it many times: strangers must stay at least 30 meters away from me. Gao Cheng, how do you command my personal guard battalion? Can you forget such a small thing?"
Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, "We've searched it, there was no murder weapon."
Gao Long is 42 years old this year. He had his first son when he was 16 years old in the wilderness. Now he has nine sons, four of whom died of illness.
The mortality rate in the wilderness is very high; even the children of the heads of large families suffer this fate, not to mention the others.
Now, he has five sons left. One manages the so-called Imperial Guard, while the other four manage the Wei, Zhou, Tuoba, and Liu families that he annexed.
Although the clan leaders still have the final say in these four families, the Gao family is above everyone else.
The Tu Ke La family, living in the wilderness, actually has a personal guard and a military governor. The Gao brothers, Gao Long and Gao Hu, are clearly relying on their destiny to establish their own powerful force in a place that even the Federation can't be bothered to care about.
The young boy, Xiao Tu, was led 30 meters away by the burly men. Gao Long coldly asked, "Which production base are you from?"
“Production base 1129,” Xiao Tu said.
"What do you grow at your production base?" Gao Long asked coldly. "Don't try to fool us. The Wilderness People deal with farmers the most. We know exactly what each base produces."
“We planted more than 20,000 mu of rice and also raised ducks and fish in the rice fields,” Xiao Tu answered honestly. “There are more than 600 people in the production base. As a result, Chen’s army wanted to arrest more than 200 people. My parents were afraid that I would be arrested, so they told me to lay low for a while and go back later.”
Gao Long pondered; it all made sense, and it seemed to be true.
