Chapter 116: A Sure-fire Investment

The breeze blew gently across the empty canyon, blowing away the strong smell of blood that permeated the battlefield.

The battlefield, which was bustling with swords and sabers a second ago, was now in dead silence. The bodies of the red soldiers were scattered all over the ground. Among them, there were human figures holding bloody blades, walking back and forth like the god of death.

Because there was so much blood on the ground, the boots of these figures were all stained red by the blood mud, but they had no intention of stopping. They just kept walking back and forth on the battlefield. If they found someone still breathing on the ground, they would bend down and give him another stab without hesitation.

The silent battlefield was punctuated by the piercing sound of swords piercing human bodies and the desperate screams of dying people.
Wang Yao leaned against the cold wall of the defense tower, without even glancing at the Shura Field in the distance, but just looked at the letter from home in his hand with a complicated expression.

This family letter was found next to the body of Wu Bing, who had seen through his "trick". The general meaning of the letter was that Wu Bing's family had a new baby, and his wife was urging him to return home to reunite with them.
Looking at the family letter filled with words of truth and expectation, Wang Yao's breathing gradually became difficult.

“What on earth have I done?”

Wang Yao could not help but sigh heavily, and subconsciously took off the wine bag hanging around his waist. He tilted his head back and drank a mouthful of the strong liquor that burned his throat, then stared blankly at the gradually brightening sky.

The only answer he got was endless silence.

The battle ended very quickly. Perhaps they did not expect the first defense tower to collapse so quickly, and neglected to arrange the defense line. Therefore, there were actually only 100 soldiers stationed at the second defense tower on the top lane of the Wu Kingdom.

Although the "special attack team" led by Wang Yao had only 50 people, they were all carefully selected elite soldiers who were enough to fight two at a time. What's more, there was also a Sky-flying Dragon Zhao Yun who was on the side. Therefore, in less than fifteen minutes, the 100 Wu soldiers stationed in the second defense tower were completely wiped out by Wang Yao and his men's sweeping offensive.

However, although the enemy soldiers were annihilated, the defense tower was still intact, and Wang Yao did not rush to order the soldiers to demolish the defense tower that was no longer defended by anyone, so as to take the opportunity to collect the gold coin reward for destroying the tower.

Because since last night, their team had spent the entire night traveling non-stop to get here, and they had just experienced a battle. With such a huge consumption, even the elite soldiers of the special attack team were already exhausted.

At this time, instead of destroying the tower by force, it is better to let the soldiers rest and recover their strength. Anyway, the second defense tower of Wu has been occupied by them, and the task of destroying the defense tower will naturally be solved by the large force coming from the rear to support it.

Besides, Wang Yao is not in the mood to do these things at the moment.

“I didn’t expect there was such a method.”

A familiar voice came from beside me.

Zhao Yun walked up to Wang Yao and said sincerely, "This is the first time I've discovered that you can break into the tower in this way. How did you come up with the idea of ​​using the armor of the Wu soldiers to confuse the soldiers guarding the tower?"

"All is fair in war. I've wanted to try this for a long time, but I didn't expect it to actually work."

Looking at Zhao Yun, Wang Yao forced a smile and said, "But I'm not sure. Last night I was worried whether we would be blown up by the enemy's defense tower."

In fact, Wang Yao was quite desperate this time. After all, this method was just something he suddenly thought of, and there were no successful cases in the canyon. Before coming, he was not sure whether the enemy's defense tower had the function of "automatically identifying friend or foe".

But overall, the plan was successful and everything went smoothly.

After a pause, Wang Yao suddenly asked, "By the way, Lao Zhao, we were in a hurry to march last night, and I forgot to ask you, did you get any reward after defeating Zhou Yu?" "What reward?" Zhao Yun was stunned, not understanding.

"Well, for example, you suddenly feel that your strength has become stronger, or upgraded?" Wang Yao said with some anticipation.

"Do smart people have such crazy thoughts like you?" Zhao Yun glanced at Wang Yao as if he was a lunatic, and then said: "You think too much. Killing the enemy heroes will not bring us any benefits."

"What a bummer! I've made a huge loss this time!" Wang Yao suddenly looked disappointed.

Killing heroes is indeed a thankless task. Well, I’ve decided that next time I will fight to the death and never give in!
Looking at Wang Yao, who looked distressed, Zhao Yun suddenly said, "Don't be too happy. In fact, during the battle, I found that Zhou Yu's level was 7, which is only 3 levels higher than mine!"

"The Grand Commander of Wu State is only level 7?" Wang Yao was stunned.

"Otherwise, how could we have killed him so easily?"

"Could it be that this perverted pedophile uncle neglected to upgrade in order to pursue Xiao Qiao?"

"Who knows?" Zhao Yun seemed to be uninterested in such gossip and was about to walk away after saying this.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Wang Yao stopped Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun turned around and caught a glimpse of a red light coming towards him out of the corner of his eye.

Snapped!
Zhao Yun raised his hand to catch it, and found that it was a diamond-shaped crystal that was a gorgeous red color.

This diamond-shaped crystal is only the size of a palm, but there are faint dragon-shaped electric wires flowing inside, which is very special.

"What is this?!" Zhao Yun looked at Wang Yao in shock. Of course he knew what this thing was.

Wang Yao made a gesture to silence him and whispered, "Keep your voice down. I secretly hid this crystal when we destroyed the first defense tower of Wu. It seems that this thing is only useful to you heroes, right?"

"You actually know this?" Zhao Yun was stunned for three seconds, but then he quickly felt relieved: "Did the Moonlight Girl who was very close to you tell you?"

"It's none of your business." Wang Yao smiled in a mysterious way, "When the large force arrives, we'll tear down the second defense tower and we'll have two. If you keep going like this, you'll be able to reach level 15 one day!"

In fact, Wang Yao’s current actions can be seen as an investment, an investment with the goal of becoming a “super god”!
As long as you keep destroying the enemy's defense towers and grab the upgrade crystals, so that Zhao Yun can reach level 15 as soon as possible, then when fighting against Zhou Yu and other squishy heroes, why would you bother to arrange troops and battle arrays? How easy is it to just go up and kill them with a set of skills?
At that time, all he had to do was ask Zhao Yun to beat the enemy hero to a pulp, and then he would take the opportunity to go up and harvest the heads; gold coins, equipment, and super gods, wouldn't that be easy to get? Anyway, Zhao Yun wouldn't get any reward for killing the enemy hero, so I believe Zhao Yun would definitely not refuse the small "request" of his major shareholder!

This investment is a sure win!
But in front of Wang Yao's beautiful dream, Zhao Yun looked at the diamond-shaped crystal in his hand with a complicated expression. After a while, he suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Can we really do this? What if the high-level officials of Shu Kingdom investigate later?"

Wang Yao was startled, and then he couldn't help rolling his eyes. Zhao Yun, who had never been afraid, was actually so timid?
To this, Wang Yao simply gave a tongue-twisting answer: "How do they know we know?"
