Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 456 The Pattern of Confrontation

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Li Chenzhou asked curiously.

"Little Li! Awakened abilities are secrets. Even if Qing Cang doesn't want to hide it from you, you'd better not ask here!"

Hu Tao interjected, "It's best to ask about these things when it's just the two of you! Otherwise, if you reveal your talent and someone targets you, you'll suffer!"

"Revealing talents will make you a target?"

Li Chenzhou was taken aback and looked at Hu Tao, "Aren't you on the same side? If you don't know your partners' talents and skills, how can you coordinate in a fight?"

"Coordinate? High-level ability users are very fast. At this level, coordination isn't needed anymore. Just identify a suitable enemy and charge!"

Hu Tao was also stunned.

It was said that the armies of the past had various military formations, especially in the age of cold weapons. But with the rapid development of weapons, those formations were gradually forgotten. Later modern warfare was reduced to small teams of a few people, and large formations had long disappeared.

"Alas! You'll be at a disadvantage fighting like this!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head. "In battle, you must use all your advantages to the fullest. You should use every bit of strength you have. If you don't use any tactics and just rely on brute force, that's not war, that's a street brawl!"

"Your side values this? Can you tell us about it?"

Since they had to wait for the Liu family to deliver the person anyway, they might as well chat. Hu Tao simply pulled Li Chenzhou to the sofa for a rest and asked someone to bring an unknown drink.

The others followed, but only a few giants dared to sit on the sofa. Dugu Tianfeng also came and sat on a sofa, continuing to close his eyes to rest.

Liu Xialai also came because after delivering the person, he still had to see Dugu Tianfeng's attitude. After all, he had people capture Qing Cang's family without any instructions, and who knew if those guys had harmed them?

"Little brother, we are all fighting against the Devourers. And maybe Qing Cang told you, our awakened ones are suppressing their levels. That's similar to you, so I'd like to hear the thoughts of your world!"

After sitting down and taking a sip of the drink, Hu Tao spoke first, while the other giants remained silent. Anyway, they were just here to listen today, to at least know how the event was developing so they could decide how their families should respond!

"Although I know that your world's methods may not be suitable for us, it doesn't hurt to listen to more and use it as a reference!"

After speaking, Hu Tao placed his cup on the coffee table in front of the sofa. At this time, the shooting range had been closed, and someone was guarding the entrance, forbidding anyone to enter to practice shooting.

"Before that, General Hu, first tell me, what kind of model are all the worlds you know, including yours, basically using to fight against the Devourers?"

Li Chenzhou also put down his water cup and asked Hu Tao.

"Model?"

Hu Tao was stunned, seemingly not understanding Li Chenzhou's meaning.

"The model I'm talking about is actually the system!"

Li Chenzhou said, "For example, your Duo Luo world, according to what Qing Cang said before, is to raise your level and then fight the Devourers, trying to understand them in the process, in the hope of having a chance to completely destroy them in the future, right?"

"That's right!"

Hu Tao looked at the other giants before nodding to Li Chenzhou. "Basically, the worlds we know are all in this model: increase your strength and then fight the Devourers! The only difference is that some worlds, like us, will try to collect information about the Devourers, while others are passively resisting. They know they can't win, so they send out all the high-level ability users, and when they are all captured, the Devourers leave! Alas..."

"Wrong, you are increasing your levels, not your strength!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head.

"Increasing levels isn't the same as increasing strength?"

Hu Tao didn't quite understand.

"No! There are many ways to increase strength, and level is just one of them!"

Li Chenzhou said, "Then let me ask another question: why do the Devourers come to our world and treat us as a pasture?"

"Because they see us as food, like pigs, cattle, and sheep!"

This question was answered by a young man behind the Feng family giant. He looked grief-stricken when he spoke!

To be able to enter here and stand behind the Feng family giant, he was naturally a direct descendant of the Feng family, and should also be an elite among the direct descendants.

"Yes! That's right, they treat us as food, as... pigs, cattle, and sheep!"

Li Chenzhou looked at the young man and nodded. "We humans like to eat tender lamb and beef, so what kind of humans do the Devourers like to eat?"

"High-level ones!"

This time Hu Tao answered, seemingly understanding Li Chenzhou's meaning!

"Right! High-level ones. The Devourers want our human levels to increase so they can eat us more... deliciously!"

Li Chenzhou said, "In that case, why should we follow their wishes and constantly increase our levels to fight them?

Therefore, in our world, we suppress our levels and study technology. Technology is also a form of power, like the evolution potions, light beam guns, and thunderburst balls I brought out!

These technological weapons can also make us stronger, but they won't make us delicious. Even if we fail, at least we haven't provided the Devourers with qualified delicacies!

This is the path we have chosen, a path... that may be different from all of yours!"

Li Chenzhou took a breath and said, "Of course, advanced weapons alone are not enough. The people who use them also need to have a certain amount of strength. But before, we didn't know about the safety line, that is, level five, which would cause the Devourers to descend, so we controlled it at level three!

In that case, we need to make up for our shortcomings in other areas, such as combat skills, such as battle formations, such as cooperation, and so on.

We try to develop our advantages to improve ourselves. We hope that when the Devourers descend on our world, we have enough power to protect ourselves and make the Devourers lose more than they gain! That way, they may lose interest in us!"

"Combat skills? What kind of skills?"

Just then, Dugu Tianfeng, who had been closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and asked Li Chenzhou. As soon as he spoke, everyone else who had wanted to ask something closed their mouths...
