Chapter 152: Supreme Battle Body, Dangerous Gao Yu [Please Vote]
The process of his own Skin-Membrane remolding is highly likely to be different from others.
Xia Hong had long had such a guess in his heart.
The strength intensity of human Frigid-level experts, judging from the current situation, is estimated to be just benchmarking against intermediate cold beasts.
Just breaking through to the Frigid-level requires over a hundred intermediate cold beast bloods.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel reasonable.
After clashing with Director Yu Wen Hu, this guess was confirmed.
The difficulty of his own Skin-Membrane remolding is indeed different from others.
But Xia Hong didn't expect the difference to be so great.
According to what Gao Yu said, once the base strength reaches the limit of thirty thousand jin, the Skin-Membrane remolding stage can at most increase by twenty thousand jin. Once it reaches the limit of fifty thousand jin, which is the perfection of the whole body's Skin-Membrane, reaching the realm of no leakage, and breaking through to the Frigid-level, the strength will double again.
That is one hundred thousand jin, the "one Mane of strength" collectively referred to by humans in the Frozen Abyss World.
Therefore, the standard for the Frigid-level is one Mane of strength.
Of course, this is an ordinary Frigid-level!
Just like different types of cold beasts, the upper limit of strength will also be different. Among humans, there is also a group of people with unique talents whose Skin-Membrane's tolerance for pain and beast blood is far higher than ordinary people.
This part of people will have a longer stage of remolding the Skin-Membrane, and the cold beast blood they can absorb will be several to more than ten times more than ordinary people.
The so-called posture of a battle body refers to the unique physique of this part of people.
The price paid is greater, so naturally, in this stage, people with battle body talent will have a higher upper limit for strength increase.
Generally speaking, battle bodies are divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower.
Based on the strength upper limit of the Skin-Membrane remolding stage.
One hundred thousand jin is upper grade; eighty thousand jin is middle grade; sixty thousand jin is lower grade.
If the strength in the Skin-Membrane stage can reach one hundred thousand jin, then once they reach the body of no leakage and officially break through to the Frigid-level, the strength doubles, and the base strength ascends to the sky in one step, reaching two hundred thousand jin, which is two Manes of strength.
By analogy, even for the lowest-grade battle body, when breaking through to the Frigid-level, the strength is as high as one hundred and twenty thousand jin, which is two-tenths higher than an ordinary Frigid-level.
Two-tenths of strength is enough to decide many things.
"Of course, this strength is by no means obtained out of thin air.
In the Frozen Abyss World, time is equivalent to life. This part of people with battle bodies, because they need to absorb more cold beast blood, in order to save time to break through to the Frigid-level, they often use beast blood beyond the limit.
Normal people use two or three jin at a time, and that's about the limit.
Those with stronger willpower use at most three or five jin.
And they, at least start from five jin, and the highest, ten jin, have to endure pain far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Many die directly in the process of using beast blood."
As Gao Yu's voice fell, the entire main hall on the first floor fell into silence.
The lingering fear in Xia Hong's eyes was also raised at this moment.
Of course, the lingering fear only lasted for a while.
More of it in his heart was excitement.
It was also at this time that the seventeen members of the hunting team all turned their heads and looked at Xia Hong in unison. The expressions on their faces also changed from shock to horror, and finally to excitement.
"Ten jin? Big Brother uses more than a hundred jin every time, and sometimes two hundred or three hundred jin!"
"The leader's usage is at least a hundred jin every time!"
…………
Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, all the people in the hunting team, how could they not be excited at this moment.
According to Gao Yu's statement, the larger the usage, the more the increase, and correspondingly, the potential will be higher. After breaking through to the Frigid-level, the strength will inevitably be stronger.
"No wonder when I asked the leader if he had broken through just now, he didn't say anything!"
Recalling the situation after the leader defeated Director Yu Wen Hu before, facing his own inquiry, Xia Hong was silent. Luo Yuan suddenly realized at this moment.
Xia Hong hadn't broken through to the Frigid-level at all.
Not just him, Xia Chuan on the side, and the few others who reacted faster, immediately thought of it too.
Not yet broken through, and the strength was already on par with Director Yu Wen Hu.
Then after breaking through, how strong would the leader's strength be?
They all turned their heads and looked at Xia Hong, their eyes filled with reverence and fanaticism.
The thoughts of the crowd were like this, let alone Xia Hong, the person involved.
Upper-grade battle body, the limit is only one hundred thousand jin.
But his strength is already close to seventy thousand jin, and it's only 31 progress!
Conservatively estimated, once he completes the stage of Skin-Membrane remolding, his base strength can be raised to at least one hundred and fifty thousand jin. Breaking through and doubling, that's three hundred thousand jin.
Three Manes of strength!
One more Mane of strength than the upper-grade battle body.
Then what kind of battle body is he?
Above the upper grade, is there a supreme grade, or a more powerful physique...
Xia Hong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and also suppressed his desire to ask, and after calming his mood, he gave Xia Chuan and the others a look of "don't spread it".
Everyone received his look, immediately understood, put away their excited expressions, and their faces all calmed down.
This Gao Yu, no matter how polite he is, to the camp, he is just a stranger of unknown origin.
Moreover, his strength is much stronger than their own.
Although there are Wooden Dummies to rely on, some guard should still be kept.
"This Double Longshan, although I have never set foot in it, I have explored it several times. It spans at least two or three hundred miles from east to west. Not to mention cold beasts, there are probably not a few strange creatures. Brother Gao can pass through alone, I think his strength must be far beyond ordinary people, Frigid-level..."
Xia Hong didn't finish his sentence, the last three words carried some hesitation, and at the same time, the suspicion in his eyes when he looked up at Gao Yu was very obvious.
Judging from Great Xia's current activity area, it is obviously impossible for a Frigid-level expert to pass through the two hundred-mile Double Longshan from the east side to the west side.
This Gao Yu is either hiding his strength, or he didn't tell the truth!
Xia Hong's expression changed, and Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the others immediately reacted, all turning to stare at Gao Yu, their expressions gradually becoming vigilant.
Facing the suspicious expressions of the crowd, Gao Yu was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, forget it, it seems I still can't hide it. Gao will just say it directly."
After saying this, Gao Yu paused, then turned to face the crowd and directly unbuttoned his coat, exposing his chest.
"Hiss..."
Xia Hong, including everyone else, couldn't help but gasp.
On Gao Yu's exposed chest, there were countless fine cracks.
Like a shattered piece of pottery, or like the earth cracked after a drought, the bright red flesh exposed between those cracks was very obvious, and the form was truly horrifying.
It is hard to believe that Gao Yu, who had been smiling gently and communicating with them warmly, was carrying such terrifying and horrifying injuries on his body.
"Was this caused by a strange creature?"
Xia Hong frowned and asked.
Such injuries were obviously not caused by cold beasts or people.
Gao Yu turned around, faced the iron-smelting furnace with his back to the crowd, put on his clothes first, then turned around and sat down, nodding gently at Xia Hong:
"Not bad, it was an intermediate fierce strange creature..."
After saying this, he paused before continuing to explain:
"Ten days ago, I entered the Double Longshan to hunt. The area I hunted in was at most ten miles on the periphery of the Double Longshan. But my luck was bad that day. I ran into a strange creature not long after entering.
That strange creature could not only control many cold beasts but also shoot evil light, fragmenting human bodies. I was accidentally hit, and was chased by it all the way. In a panic, I accidentally passed through the Double Longshan and arrived here."
As Gao Yu's voice fell, including Xia Hong, everyone stood up with a "swoosh", looked at the sky above the valley, and then looked at Gao Yu again, their eyes filled with anger.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I already shook off that strange creature midway, and the four cold beasts it controlled have also been killed by me. It won't follow me here. Please, everyone, rest assured!"
Even though Gao Yu explained very quickly, the expressions on Xia Chuan and the others' faces still didn't relax, just looking at Xia Hong.
Xia Hong looked at Gao Yu at this moment, his brows furrowed tightly, and he was incomparably annoyed in his heart.
Sure enough, strangers never bring anything good!
A refugee, or one chased by an intermediate strange creature.
Gao Yu says it nicely, that the strange creature won't follow, but can he guarantee it?
A wooden puppet strange creature that hadn't yet advanced to the intermediate level was enough to slaughter almost all the humans in Red Wood Ridge.
If a real intermediate strange creature was really lured over, wouldn't that be terrible?
Being able to control multiple cold beasts and shoot evil light that fragments human bodies, just these two abilities were enough to bring huge trouble to Great Xia. How could Xia Hong not be annoyed.
If it weren't for Gao Yu's strength being too strong, and his attitude being polite from beginning to end without deliberately hiding anything from him, Xia Hong would have scolded him and driven him away by now.
Seeing the expressions on the crowd's faces, Gao Yu clearly realized that he was no longer welcome. After thinking for a long time, he finally revealed a trace of helplessness, cupped his fists at Xia Hong, and said:
"Brother Xia, this matter is indeed Gao's fault, but I have injuries on my body and am not familiar with the surroundings. I only ask to borrow a place in Great Xia for five days. Once my injuries recover, I will leave immediately, how about it?"
Although Gao Yu's tone already carried a hint of begging, Xia Chuan and the others still shook their heads, all revealing a refusal.
Xia Hong, on the other hand, remained silent without speaking.
Gao Yu saw this and knew there was still hope, so he immediately continued to add:
"Of course, if that strange creature really comes during this period, Gao won't just leave, I will definitely stay and advance and retreat with Brother Xia!"
Xia Hong's brows condensed slightly. Looking at Gao Yu, he felt more and more suspicious.
This person's appearance is really too mysterious;
To tell the truth, until now, he hasn't completely believed Gao Yu's words.
But the problem is, this person doesn't look bad, and his attitude has no problems.
Although the explanation still has loopholes, it can barely be explained.
Being chased by a strange creature, fleeing in a panic to here, and having such serious injuries on his body, then the previous concealment and unwillingness to explain things clearly can also be explained. After all, Gao Yu is a stranger to Great Xia, and Great Xia is also a stranger to him. They have guard, and the other side naturally has guard too.
Mainly, five days is a bit long...
Thinking of the big trouble that might be following behind him, and even that big trouble might be staring at the Great Xia camp from above the valley, Xia Hong pondered for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and said:
"Two days, at most I will take you in for two days. Once the time is up, leave. Although the Great Xia camp is small, it has more than a thousand people. I hope Brother Gao can forgive me!"
Xia Hong considered himself not a warm-hearted person, but he really couldn't do something like not saving someone in danger.
Looking at the injuries on Gao Yu's chest, let alone five days, without special treatment, I'm afraid it won't be better in ten days or half a month. He himself probably doesn't have the idea of staying in the camp to heal, just resting his feet here.
Since that's the case, two days is enough!
Sure enough, hearing two days, a smile immediately appeared on Gao Yu's face.
"Thank you, Brother Xia, Gao is deeply grateful. After two days, I will definitely leave!"
"No need to be polite, just a small effort."
Xia Hong waved his hand casually, then called Shi Ping and asked him to arrange a room for Gao Yu on the first floor.
=9+Book_Bar
Taking him in for two days in the camp is indeed a small effort, and it doesn't cost anything. Besides, the other side also sent four intermediate cold beasts. Not considering that intermediate strange creature, he definitely made a profit.
After explaining to Shi Ping, he led Xia Chuan and the others directly to the second floor.
Shi Ping led the happy Gao Yu to an empty room, gave a few polite instructions on things to pay attention to, and then turned and left.
Gao Yu, who was left alone in the room, as soon as Shi Ping left, the happy expression on his face was immediately replaced by competence. A trace of sharpness appeared in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and laughed softly:
"This weak Great Xia actually has such a divine object, interesting, interesting..."
………………
"Leader, keeping that person for two days, is it not very appropriate?"
As soon as they went up to the second floor, Xia Chuan couldn't wait to speak.
Luo Yuan and the others also nodded one after another, clearly agreeing with Xia Chuan.
"That person's appearance is indeed a bit mysterious. We have never seen the material of his clothes and weapons. He passed through the Double Longshan as a Frigid-level expert and suffered such serious injuries. The more I think about it, the more wrong it feels."
"Not to mention the unknown origin, if what he said is true, it is very likely to lure an intermediate strange creature; if it is false, then he has another purpose. Regardless of whether it is true or false, we shouldn't take him in."
"He only said a Shenwu Village and didn't say it clearly..."
Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan's words, everyone nodded after hearing them.
Only Yuan Cheng said that last sentence. Everyone turned to look at him, and their expressions became a bit strange, including Xia Hong.
"That's right, rashly probing other people's camp situation is inappropriate!"
Yuan Cheng smiled awkwardly, clearly realizing the problem with his sentence.
Xia Hong looked back at the crowd without rushing to speak. In his heart, he felt a bit of appreciation for the vigilance of the crowd.
He thought he was the only one who didn't completely trust Gao Yu.
It seems Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the rest were the same.
"There is indeed a problem, but the other side's strength is there. Refusing directly won't work. We don't know how much his injuries affect his strength. If we force him away, what if he doesn't leave, or if he leaves and holds a grudge, causing trouble for the camp, what should we do?"
Xia Hong didn't lecture the crowd, just stated the facts in a calm tone.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads in silence.
"Even with the five Wooden Dummies, I don't have the confidence to defeat him, so saying that taking him in is my decision is better said to be decided by me, you, and the current strength of the camp."
Hearing Xia Hong's increasingly explicit words, Xia Chuan and the seventeen others felt their cheeks burning, and a trace of shame rose in their hearts.
Xia Hong's meaning was very clear.
It was that the current strength of the Great Xia camp did not have the qualifications to refuse the other side.
Forcing a refusal, the price they would have to pay, they were highly likely unable to bear.
The current strength of the camp refers to more than just Xia Hong alone.
These seventeen people of theirs are considered the highest combat power of Great Xia at present.
But after witnessing and participating in the duel between Xia Hong and Director Yu Wen Hu, the seventeen people all knew clearly that when facing a Frigid-level expert, they seventeen were actually no different from decorations.
After all, the iron arrows they shot with ten-stone bows couldn't even pierce Director Yu Wen Hu's flesh, let alone close-quarters combat with blades.
Speed, strength, reaction ability, Frigid-level experts were enough to kill them in seconds.
"It's a good thing to question me, but when considering things, the strength gap must be calculated. I actually wanted to drive the person away, but strength didn't allow it..."
Speaking of this, Xia Hong paused, his expression darkened slightly, and continued:
"The other side's attitude is polite, that's just a choice. With his strength, even if he wasn't polite, we wouldn't be able to do anything to him!"
Xia Chuan and the others nodded first, then clenched their fists under their sleeves, and the desire for strength in their hearts climbed to the extreme again.
This situation of knowing that the other side has a problem but still not daring to refuse is really uncomfortable, a feeling that everything is under someone else's control.
"Remember, strength is the foundation for making all decisions."
"Yes, Leader!"
Seeing Xia Chuan and the others responding in a deep voice, Xia Hong nodded, led the crowd, and walked straight to the camp supply office.
"Greetings, Leader, all adults!"
Tong Xinglong and the three who were responsible for processing the prey saluted Xia Hong and the others, and immediately led them into the slaughterhouse.
In the slaughterhouse, the corpses of seven massive cold beasts were being processed.
Xia Hong bypassed the three Snow Manes and magic sheep in front and went straight to the four strange cold beasts behind, his eyes filled with surprise.
"These four were just sent over by Shi Ping. He said these two are called Fire Stone Tigers, and the other two are called Frost Electric Apes and Green Thunder Roars. I haven't seen them before. Did the leader hunt them just now?"
Tong Xinglong clearly didn't know that guests had come, thinking that the four pieces of prey were all hunted by Xia Hong leading the team.
Xia Chuan and the others on the side immediately came up to explain to Tong Xinglong.
Xia Hong focused on the four cold beasts he had never seen before. The body length of all four was about ten meters, which was indeed the size of intermediate cold beasts.
The Fire Stone Tiger's body surface was black, but the whole body's fur was fire-red, and the four claws were sharp and thick. At a glance, the strength was very amazing;
The Frost Electric Ape's body surface was blue, with a short black curly mane, the whole body's muscles were coiled, and the chest area looked like it was equipped with four incomparably hard armors;
The last Green Thunder Roar, its appearance was a bit like a lion, but its skin glowed with green light, and the fur covering its whole body was also green. Two fangs more than three meters long were stuck on the two sides of that blood-red mouth, and the form was quite horrifying.
The appearance was just secondary. Xia Hong scanned the four pieces of prey one by one, and his gaze gradually became heavy.
The four pieces of prey had no wounds on their bodies at all, all had a round sword hole on their foreheads.
Xia Hong walked to the forehead position of a Fire Stone Tiger, drew the ceremonial blade, aimed at the sword hole, and inserted it downward.
The ceremonial blade's blade length of one meter five was instantly submerged, leaving only a handle outside.
Xia Hong swung it left and right twice, sensing that the flesh and blood in the Fire Stone Tiger's skull had been completely stirred, and his expression immediately froze.
"Leader?"
"What's the situation?"
…………
Xia Chuan and the others noticed the change in Xia Hong's expression and immediately surrounded him.
Without Xia Hong having to speak, seeing the wounds of the Fire Stone Tiger, Xia Chuan and the others reacted immediately, then checked the wounds of the other three cold beasts one after another, and their expressions immediately became the same as Xia Hong's.
Just from the wounds, even if it wasn't a one-hit kill, the process of Gao Yu hunting these four intermediate cold beasts was so simple that it was far beyond their imagination.
The other side said before that these four cold beasts were controlled by a strange creature.
If what he said was true, that is to say, while escaping from the strange creature, he could still so easily kill four intermediate cold beasts.
"The strength of this Gao Yu is only afraid to be far beyond our imagination..."
Hearing Xia Chuan's words, Xia Hong's brows condensed, pondered for a long time, and then faced the crowd, saying in a deep voice:
"Just happen that the matter with the Mirror Immortal camp is not over yet. These two days, the hunting team, gathering team, woodcutting team, all camp activities outside must stop first. No one is allowed to go out.
Taking advantage of this time, the surroundings of the valley, especially above, Xia Chuan, you personally lead people to check it once. The Condensing Fire Oil that needs to be replenished must be replenished. If there is any abnormality, report it to me in time.
In addition, quietly notify them that during these two days, don't let anyone communicate with that Gao Yu, especially children, watch them well!"
"Yes, Leader!"
This Gao Yu definitely has a problem.
These four cold beasts, I don't know if he killed them before he was injured or after he was injured.
If it's the former, that's fine;
If it's the latter...
Xia Hong's eyes trembled slightly, and a layer of shadow suddenly covered his heart.
"Hurry up and bleed these seven cold beasts and send them to my room!"
After giving Xia Chuan an instruction, Xia Hong turned and went up to the third floor directly.
Xia Chuan ordered Tong Xinglong to hurry up and do it, then stayed in place, looked at Luo Yuan and the others for a moment, and his expression gradually became worried.
"Hurry up and practice, without strength, there is danger everywhere!"
Luo Yuan said this sentence and was the first to turn and leave.
"Can't rely on the leader for everything, we have to work harder."
Yuan Cheng also said in a deep voice, and was the second to leave.
The others, although they didn't speak, also followed closely behind and returned to their rooms, clearly going to seize the time to practice.
