Chapter 217 Casting vs. Destiny(1/2)
Ning Chen was still out of the situation, and Zhao Tuo already knew the reason.
"It should be the priests of Emperor Xubu who used the power of cast report on you." Zhao Tuo explained to Ning Chen.
Then Zhao Tuo told Ning Chen about the ability of Xubu Manhuang's sacrifice.
Xubu is a priest of the Manhuang tribe and is good at divination and casting reports.
And what he used against Ning Chen was to make Ning Chen deliberately forget about the existence of their group.
"There is still such ability."
Zhao Tuo's explanation really refreshed Ning Chen's understanding of barbarians again.
Zhao Tuo seemed to see what Ning Chen was thinking, and took the initiative to answer Ning Chen: "This ability is not omnipotent, and it also has limitations.
First of all, he cannot use it on many people at the same time. Even the high priest cannot do it.
Therefore, it is impossible for an entire team to surrender or commit suicide because of his announcement.
Secondly, as the person who casts the report improves, the power of the report will decrease, and the success rate will also decrease.
Finally, as the distance increases, the effect will become worse and worse.
Just like you this time, if the effect is good, you will never feel any strangeness at all.
Even if you felt strange at the time, by the time you find Xu Muzhi, you may have forgotten what you were about to say."
Although Zhao Tuo said this, Ning Chen still felt that such an ability was still so powerful that it was a bit worrying.
Although such an ability cannot directly do anything to oneself, it is impossible to make oneself commit suicide.
But he could let himself ignore something, for example, this time he ignored the existence of Zhao Tuo and the others.
Will some traps be overlooked that time?
"Then there is no way to avoid it?" Ning Chen asked Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo said: "Actually, this method will have minimal impact on you.
You are practicing both Confucianism and Wushu. As long as your awe-inspiring righteousness keeps flowing, you can keep the spiritual platform clear.
Such a warning will naturally have no effect on you."
"Is it that simple?" Ning Chen asked Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo said with his forehead: "It's that simple. Haoran's righteousness is the biggest nemesis of all these shady methods."
"What about when you were in Jingzhou?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
Zhao Tuo said to Ning Chen: "You have been to Jingzhou. Can you see any separate camp in Jingzhou?"
Ning Chen carefully recalled that none of the camps in Jingzhou really existed alone.
Prince Jing existed alone, but with Prince Jing's status, it was impossible for him to be affected by the casting notice.
With everyone together, this method may be stupid, but it is effective.
"If the high priest from the zombie side takes action here, I will target him as soon as possible and kill him personally.
As for Moco City, I will defend it closely.
If possible, it would be best to send us resources for half a year at once.
This reduces the frequency and number of people entering and leaving the city, and can prevent some corpses from getting in."
Zhao Tuo is undoubtedly very professional in dealing with barbarians.
After all, Zhao Tuo had been dealing with barbarians in Jingzhou before.
No one here knows the methods of the barbarians better than Zhao Tuo.
Therefore, Ning Chen also agreed to Zhao Tuo's suggestion.
"Okay, I will immediately contact the envoys from Houchen Country and ask them to work hard and send half a year's resources in the shortest possible time."
Because Ning Chen had rescued the former leader of the Houchen Kingdom, giant elephants sent by the Houchen Kingdom had been responsible for transporting supplies between Baijia City and Moko City.
Each of these giant elephants is extremely powerful and has amazing defense capabilities.
It is most suitable to be used as a team for transporting supplies.
One giant elephant can transport dozens of tons of supplies at a time.
Only hundreds of such giant elephants are needed, and thousands of tons of materials can be transported at one time.
This time, in addition to directly letting the giant elephant transport supplies, Ning Chen will also use storage talismans.
Except for emergencies, under normal circumstances, Ning Chen would not use the storage talisman.
After all, the cost of this thing is really too high.
But the situation is different now. Just to save some money, we can't put all the people on the front line into dangerous situations.
I contacted the responsible demon clan here from Houchen Country and agreed on who would deliver the supplies.
Ning Chen found Yun Xuanzi again and asked Yun Xuanzi to escort him personally this time.
This time, Moco City's supplies were transported for half a year, and the amount of supplies was very huge.
There is absolutely no room for any mistakes.
Yun Xuanzi also happily agreed. In addition to Yun Xuanzi, several elders from the Taoist sect would also accompany him.
At this point, Ning Chen felt that everything was finally arranged.
"Old Xu, you can continue the military push." Ning Chen said to Xu Muzhi who stopped to read.
"I want to prevent the barbarians from accusing me first," Xu Muzhi said.
Ning Chen snorted and said, "Do you think the barbarians know who you are? Do you think they will waste such an important opportunity on you?"
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi turned pale with anger.
"Old Xu, don't be angry, it's just a joke." Ning Chen was worried that Xu Muzhi and others would go on strike, so he quickly comforted him, and then explained: "I think it is impossible for the barbarians to know who is directing this civil war.
It's you, not me."
After a pause, Ning Chen said: "Of course, if you want to defend yourself, it is completely feasible."
Seeing that Lao Xu still looked unhappy, Ning Chen felt that his boss couldn't be too harsh, and added: "Actually, Lao Xu, I'm glad that I chose you to host this time.
Otherwise, if it had been me from the beginning, I might have missed a lot now."
Before Xu Muzhi could say anything, Ning Chen changed the topic and said: "Of course I also have to admire myself. Now that my cultivation level has improved, I will have a moment of happiness in my heart, which will prevent all conspiracies and tricks from succeeding."
When Xu Muzhi heard Ning Chen praise him half way, he turned around and praised himself, which made him less happy.
Fortunately, Xu Muzhi still retained half of his happiness.
"Old Xu, if you continue to be busy here, I will not stay here. If they discover your existence, it should be difficult to resolve them with your strength if they really deal with you."
Ning Chen said as he walked out.
Xu Muzhi gritted his teeth angrily from behind.
However, Xu Muzhi still had to continue doing the work that he had to do.
Xu Muzhi can naturally do this for Liao Jingyuan.
Ning Chen had no intention of informing Liao Jingyuan and the others.
What Ning Chen is worried about is that if something is captured by the barbarians, it may be counterproductive.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Ning Chen went directly back to the tea room of his mansion.
In the teahouse, Ning Chen directly told Marquis Ding and Prince Jing about the involvement of Emperor Xubu's troops.
After listening to Ning Chen's description, Marquis Dingguo said: "According to your description, it was indeed the high priest of Emperor Xubu who took action.
It's a pity that their judgment of your strength is not accurate enough, and the price they pay is not high enough.
It seems that this great priest’s death was in vain.”
"The high priest who told me is dead?" After hearing this, Marquis Dingguo was really surprised.
Zhao Tuo did not give Ning Chen any popular science during this period.
After hearing Ning Chen's rhetorical question, Marquis Dingguo asked the same question: "What if? You don't think that there is no need to pay any price for their casting reports and divination.
The further away the target they want to target and the higher their strength, the greater the price they have to pay.
In addition to the external cost, this price also comes at the cost of their own longevity.
To make such a long-distance announcement to you, it would take at least the lifespan of a high priest.
But this great priest was destined to die in vain.
In addition to underestimating your strength, they may also have misjudged your luck."
"Can luck also withstand castration?" This was another time Ning Chen encountered a blind spot in knowledge.
Marquis Dingguo continued to explain: "Eliminating disasters and preventing them is the most basic function of luck.
Otherwise, why do you think so many people want luck?
To be continued...
