Global Plunder: Start with Heart of Darkness

Returning to Blackwood Mountain, Gu Yu didn't stay much longer. He left two Shadow Thorns behind to protect the ten tribesmen from logging, and then returned to Dark Sky City with the rest of his troops.

Although Shadow Thorn is weak, it can hide and run. If it encounters danger, the chance of saving its life is much greater than that of the cumbersome and slow Blue Devil.

Before leaving, Gu Yu specifically told all the tribesmen and soldiers to flee immediately if there was an enemy attack. Nothing was more important than human life.

When he said these words, he felt that it was perfectly justified, but all the tribesmen, including Kabukilo, burst into tears and were very excited when they heard it.

Kindness, integrity, kindness, selflessness... What a great patriarch!

By the time Gu Yu led the team back to Dark Sky City, the two exploration teams had also returned and collected some resources.

2800 units of energy crystal, 20 units of wood, 15 units of stone, 8 units of pig iron, and 5 units of mercury.

On the surface, the expedition team's gains this time are quite good.

But now the city within two kilometers of Dark Sky City has been basically looted. If we search again in the future, we will have to go further.

However, Yingyi brought back an important news.

Two kilometers southwest of the city, there is a gloomy and dark stone palace. At the entrance is a huge stone tablet with a strange big eye carved on it.

This attracted Gu Yu's attention. From Ying Yi's description, he felt that it might be a ruins or a treasure house. If it could be captured, the harvest would definitely be great.

He opened the recruitment page and wanted to recruit eight more Blue Demon soldiers and assign more helpers to Kabukilo.

Unexpectedly, just after recruiting two Blue Demon warriors, the system gave a prompt.

The extraordinary energy of the Dark Lair has been exhausted, and new Blue Devil warriors cannot be recruited. They need to wait until next Monday to continue recruiting.

Grass!

This is not for playing explosive soldier style!

Gu Yu quickly opened the page of the Palace of Shadows and tried it. Sure enough, he found that the number of Dark Thorns was also limited. After recruiting four more Dark Thorns, he could no longer recruit them.

In other words, Gu Yu can recruit 16 Dark Thorns in the Palace of Shadows and 8 Blue Devils in the Dark Lair every week.

Next, he began to recruit ordinary people from his birthplace. After recruiting 12 more people in a row, ordinary Ankong people could no longer be recruited.

Including the 20 recruited previously, 32 Ankong tribesmen can be recruited within a week.

Gu Yu did not give up, and tried to directly train the Ankong people into Dark Thorns through the Palace of Shadows.

This time it is possible, but it cannot be transformed quickly through the system. It can only be trained slowly like building a house.

From this point of view, the function of the system can only help players develop in the early stage. In the later stage, it actually helps very little. It mainly depends on the natural development of the city.

Just like artificially building a house, naturally training the people into dark thorns does not require energy crystals, only providing life essence.

Gu Yu left the 12 newly recruited Ankong people for training to see how long it would take.

After this recruitment, another 1800 units of energy crystals were consumed, and 58 units of life essence were consumed.

The amount of supplies in the warehouse fluctuated up and down, and the strength of the Ankong clan was also growing rapidly.

1000 units of energy crystal, 4 units of life essence, 35 units of wood, 40 units of stone, 10 units of pig iron, 5 units of mercury, 10 units of second-level wood.

This is all the supplies in Dark Sky City currently, well, there is also plenty of food and water.

There is another very important question, what day is it today?

After Gu Yu searched for a long time, he found a small line of time marks in an extremely inconspicuous position in the lower right corner of the city page.

Tuesday, January 9, Year 1, Week 2.

Gu Yu understood that January here was not January, but the time when Earth players came to this world.

Counting the seven days he was stuck, he has been in this world for exactly nine days.

For some reason, Gu Yu had an intuition that when one month expired, there might be some terrible changes, and he had to be strong enough before then.

There is not much time left for him now.

Since there is no room for improvement in terms of military strength, Gu Yu will strengthen his men's combat effectiveness from other aspects.

At the training ground, Gu Yu asked Shadow One and Shadow Two to lead twelve Shadow Thorns and conduct confrontation training with ten Blue Devil warriors.

And Cabukilo was left alone by him as his sparring partner.

After understanding the Shadow Barrier, Gu Yu's strength reached a new level. Ying Yi, who was at the sixth level of black iron, was no longer his opponent.

Cabukilo is tall and fat, can withstand beatings, and has an eighth-level black iron strength, making him Gu Yu's best practical opponent, allowing him to ravage him to his heart's content.

Of course, Cabukilo didn't just get beaten and didn't fight back, he also fought hard.

It's just that his clumsy attack was full of flaws in Gu Yu's eyes. Except for the Devouring Shadow that posed a slight threat to him, other struggles and resistance would only make Gu Yu more excited and beat him more happily.

After a violent storm of output, Gu Yu breathed heavily, his hands and feet became weak and he called to stop.

There was no way around it. Although he could arbitrarily abuse Cabukilo, his shortcomings of insufficient attack power were also fully exposed.

Capucillo has a high defense against high health, has a damage-reducing aura, can increase blood, and can suck blood. It looks miserable, but in fact it is nothing.

However, seeing Gu Yu exhausted himself to the point of weakness, Cabukilo immediately sat down on the ground.

"Master Patriarch, I can't do it anymore. Your strength makes me in awe. I surrender!"

This time Cabukilo miscalculated. In Gu Yu's opinion, his flattery was just flattery, which was intolerable.

"Ying 1, Ying 2, come here. If you don't kill this fat guy today, I will change my surname to Lan!"

With a wave of his hand, Gu Yu called the two most capable thugs, and the three of them beat Cabukilo together.

This time Cabukilo was really abused.

Ying 1 and 2 were the first to follow Gu Yu, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, taking turns to move around Cabukiro.

Gu Yu stabbed Cabukiro in the back, and Ying 1 and 2 immediately took advantage of the situation and stabbed wildly.

Kabukilo had just regained his mobility when Ying Yi came up and knocked him out with a sap. Gu Yu and Ying Er continued to stab him wildly.

Before Kabukilo's dizzy state was lifted, Ying Er took another sap, and then Gu Yu...

Kabukiro burst into tears. Since being controlled, he has never been awake and has not even had a chance to release the Devouring Shadow.

"Sir, please forgive me! I really can't do it!"

Seeing his chubby body shrinking, Kabukilo was so frightened that he begged loudly for mercy, deeply impressed by the strength of the patriarch.

"Idiot, are you waiting to die? Fight back quickly!"

Gu Yu had no sympathy, and his attacks became more ferocious, but he secretly greeted Ying Yi and Ying Er and stopped controlling Cabukilo.

This finally gave Cabukilo a chance to breathe, and he could barely hold on under the strong pressure of the three people.

Such intense devil training lasted for three hours, and Shadow One and Shadow Two were replaced by Shadow Three and Shadow Four.

Gradually, Kabukilo's attacks became more organized, his dodges became more flexible, and his newly learned shadow escape was used extremely smoothly.

Suddenly, he seized the opportunity and used Shadow Escape to sneak behind Ying Si, and hit the opponent's back of the head hard with his huge fist.

For a moment, Ying Si's movements paused and his eyes became dull.

Gu Yu was very familiar with this scene. He had often seen it on Cabukilo's face in the past three hours.

That's...stun!

Kabukiro actually realized a new skill and punched Yingsi to the point of being knocked unconscious.
