Chapter 880: The Extremely Daring Xiao Chen
There was a special thing to note. Be it the Corpse Race or the other races, in the fight for this kind of resource star, they would not take the initiative to attack the ordinary people. Otherwise, they would end up violating a great taboo.
The ordinary people knew this as well. No matter who occupied this resource star, their treatment and rewards would not change; hence, they would not put up much resistance to their orders.
After all, no matter whom they worked for, their rewards would remain the same. They just had to keep gathering resources; only their employers had changed.
“The main forces of the Corpse Race are gathered on Black Patterned Island. There are probably at least twenty Superior Grade Martial Sages there, in addition to Long Fei and Wei Hua, who are demonic geniuses that surpass ordinary Superior Grade Martial Sages. There are also large numbers of Sage Grade Demonic Corpses on the island.
“What is Old Sir’s opinion of the Corpse Race’s strength?”
Qin Wu thought for a while before replying, “Very strong. Dragon Wood Star took in the cultivators of the two conquered resource stars. Even so, we only have about thirty Superior Grade Martial Sages. Black Monarch Island, White Monarch Island, and Azure Monarch Island have three Superior Grade Martial Sages each. The remaining ones are all at the main camp.”
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and revealed a smile on his delicate face. He said, “They are indeed strong. Furthermore, the Corpse Race grasped the secret techniques of refining Demonic Corpses. The large number of corpses from battles will continually augment their strength.
“However, they require a Corpse Refining Pool in order to refine Demonic Corpses. It is not easy to build a Corpse Refining Pool; it requires a large amount of time and effort. Once we destroy this Corpse Refining Pool, every time they lose a batch of Demonic Corpses, it will be forever. After we have destroyed all their Demonic Corpses, their combat ability will definitely bottom out.”
The strength of the Corpse Race lay in their Demonic Corpses. Without Demonic Corpses, no matter how powerful the Corpse Race cultivators were, their numbers were far too small when facing so many more human cultivators; they would only end up butchered.
Qin Wu said, “I know this. However, the Corpse Refining Pool is now on Black Patterned Island. There must be strong troops guarding it. Destroying this Corpse Refining Pool would not be easy.”
Xiao Chen pointed to Black Monarch Island. He smiled and said, “The opportunity is here now. After Long Fei and the others obtain the information that Bai Wuxue is going to move the elite Martial Sages of Black Monarch Island, they are bound to use many of their troops to prepare an ambush. The forces on Black Patterned Island would be reallocated to ensure a beautiful victory.
“The most important thing is that in order to easily suppress Bai Wuxue, Long Fei and Wei Hua will have to work together. If only one of them goes, it is possible that Bai Wuxue could escape. Thus, here lies our chance.”
