Chapter 1496: Strength in Numbers

Remember in one second [】

That is why Chen Ping had been in seclusion for five days.

During these five days, Chen Ping was busy with more than one thing.

Most of the time was spent on improving the prescriptions.

After coming to the demon clan, Chen Ping had been searching for various materials and had some understanding of the demon clan's alchemy methods. With Chen Ping's current level of alchemy, he could already refine the ninth-grade peak-level pills, and even the immortal-grade pills, Chen Ping had a certain degree of confidence in refining them.

In addition, Chen Ping had inherited the ancient Shennong clan, and for the basics of alchemy, even in the entire demon world, Chen Ping could be said to be among the best.

Therefore, according to the demon clan's alchemy methods, it is not difficult to improve the human race's alchemy techniques and make these alchemy techniques more similar to the demon clan.

In just a few days, Chen Ping has improved hundreds of prescriptions. According to these prescriptions, the demon clan's alchemists can naturally refine a large number of pills.

However, Chen Ping also knew what was going on and did not directly pass on the complete prescription to the demons. After all, these prescriptions have some similarities with those of the human race.

If the complete prescription could be obtained, perhaps some high-level alchemists would be able to see the clues from it.

Therefore, Chen Ping handed over the work of refining the medicinal materials and the preliminary integration of the medicinal properties to the demons.

And this part of the work is one of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks in the process of refining pills.

In the process of Chen Ping refining pills, perhaps a furnace of pills can be refined in more than ten minutes. Among them, nearly two-thirds of the time is actually spent on the first two steps. With the help of the demon alchemists, these two steps can be skipped, so naturally a lot of pill refining time can be shortened.

Even if Chen Ping does not refine it himself in the later stage, handing it over to the alchemists of the Wumeng can greatly improve their efficiency in refining pills.

Only in this way can Chen Ping be sure to further speed up the speed of improving the strength of the two major races, the human race and the demon race.

However, although he had summoned thousands of alchemists, Chen Ping was still not too satisfied.

But now Chen Ping had become the Nether Lord of Nether City. As a master of the Tribulation Period, it was not so easy to move up.

Unless Chen Ping had the strength to rival the masters of the Saint level,

he could kill the supreme existence of the entire Abyss Kingdom, that is, the Abyss Saint in the legend, and replace the Abyss Saint, and call on countless alchemists in the entire Abyss Kingdom to work for Chen Ping.

Otherwise, if he wanted to further improve the efficiency, he could only spend the resources in his hands to recruit them.

After arranging the matter of these thousands of alchemists, Chen Ping immediately sent someone to notify the Demon Emperor Building.

In the past half month, once a large amount of medicinal materials were transported to the Demon Emperor Building, they must be delivered to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible.

In addition, Chen Ping had also sent out the major legions under the Nether City to convey Chen Ping's instructions to various territories.

Summon all the alchemists within the jurisdiction of the Nether City to come and serve the Lord of the Nether City. In addition, Chen Ping also posted a bounty notice, so that even those alchemists and weapon refiners who are not within the jurisdiction of the Nether City can come to Chen Ping and serve him.

However, it is relatively simple to summon the alchemists within the Nether City. In just a few days, these people can be gathered together. But it is not so easy to summon the alchemists in other major territories or even other cities.

However, Chen Ping is not too anxious. After arranging these things, Chen Ping immediately began to pay attention to the next killing contest.

The so-called Demon Realm Killing Contest actually happens almost every moment.

It's just that the time of the killing contest arranged by each city is different.

The killing contest that will be held in the Nether City in more than half a month is actually a killing contest between the two cities of Nether City and the neighboring Tiefeng City.

It has always been divided into three competitions. The first match was between the two city lords.

However, the city lords were the most distinguished monarchs in the major cities. After reaching the level of monarchs, they did not need to fight each other according to the usual practice of the demon world.

Therefore, there were no rigid rules for the monarchs of the major cities. The two of them only needed to have a simple exchange of ideas. But apart from this match, the other two matches were extremely bloody and cruel.

The second match was a fight between the major legions directly under the two cities. At that time, the twelve legions of the Nether City and the fourteen legions of the Iron Front City would work together to start a life-and-death battle.

The final outcome of this battle would be that the number of people on one side would be reduced to less than half.

You know, the number of people in the twelve legions of the Nether City is as many as 120,000, and as for the Iron Front City, it has reached as many as 140,000. If more than half of them are killed, it means that the number of casualties will reach at least 60,000.

What's more, in such a melee, the loss is definitely not just one side. That is to say, in almost every killing contest, the major legions of the two cities will lose nearly half of their manpower, and the loss will always exceed 100,000.

In addition to this second competition, there is also

^0^    Remember for one second【】

A third and more brutal competition, which is the residents of the two cities.

These residents include not only those who live in the city, but also civilians in the major territories.

As long as you reach the level of foundation building or above, you must participate in such a killing contest, which is generally held only once a year. And there is actually only one purpose, that is, to select the best from the best and eliminate those guys who are not strong.

The rest will be regarded as the elites in the major cities. After all, the reproduction ability of the demons is too strong, and the annual population increase will be as high as at least one million. If the major territories are added, the population increase will be even greater.

Just like the current Nether City, under normal circumstances, the number of residents in Nether City is about 8 million to 10 million. However, the population of the Nether City that Chen Ping saw now has exceeded 11 million.

However, after such a bloody fight, the population of the Nether City will immediately drop to about 10 million, or even less than 10 million.

It has to be said that the way the demons control the population is too bloody and violent, and even Chen Ping feels a little uncomfortable.

However, in this way, the demons' strength has become so strong, which explains it. After all, no matter what. The demons are different from the human race. The human race has never been too wanton in giving birth. Under normal circumstances, most people have only one or two children in their lifetime, and there are only a few more, and rarely more than ten.

But among the demons, normal demon men and women have at least dozens of children in their lifetime, and almost one is born every year.

Under such a reproduction rate, the population growth rate of the demons is simply terrifying. In order to curb such a growth rate, the demons did not call on civilians to carry out the so-called family planning.

Instead, on the one hand, they encouraged the demons to give birth, and on the other hand, they launched this extremely crazy killing competition.

In this way, on the one hand, the population of the demon race can be reduced, and on the other hand, the strength of those who can survive in such a killing contest can be made stronger and stronger.

After tens of thousands of years of development, the strength of the entire demon race has become as strong as the peak period of the ancient times.

You know, at the end of the Five Realms War in the ancient times, the demon race had been joined by the other four major races and was almost completely defeated.

But after tens of thousands of years of reproduction and development, the demon race has once again embarked on the road to the peak, which is also related to such policies.

After understanding the situation of the entire killing contest, Chen Ping's eyes also showed a sneer.

One of the reasons why he paid so much attention to the killing contest was because of the nature of the killing contest. And another reason was because of the rewards of this killing contest. The so-called rewards of the killing contest are naturally not awarded by the upper level. It is a mutual bet between the two cities.

Simply put, the two city lords of Nether City and Tiefeng City who participated in this killing contest will take out a huge amount of wealth for a bet.

The winner of more than two games in this killing contest will naturally win all the bets put out by the other party. And the value of these bets will be as high as tens of billions.

However, this time, Chen Ping is not willing to just get tens of billions of resources. He now has hundreds of billions of resources in his hands, so he naturally doesn't care about this little profit.

Chen Ping's real purpose is to use this killing contest to completely destroy Tiefeng City. If possible, he doesn't even mind stealing all the wealth of Tiefeng City directly.

It is naturally difficult to do this. But Chen Ping still has his own plan.

In the Nether City, many people began to get busy under the orders of the city lord. At the same time, Chen Ping summoned the twelve generals under his command.

The original Nighthawk had died in Chen Ping's hands, and now the First Legion actually has no general.

However, Chen Ping has promoted Li Tuo to become the acting general of the First Legion.

Of course, Li Tuo's strength has just broken through to the God Transformation Stage. With his strength, it is almost impossible to suppress the entire First Legion.

However, Chen Ping is confident that with his help, Li Tuo's strength will soon improve.

Anyway, at least in the next few months, the First Legion does not need to deal with any legion challenge, and only needs to deal with its own internal affairs.

All twelve generals came to Chen Ping. However, when these people faced Chen Ping, their faces were full of respect. However, except for Li Tuo, the other eleven people seemed to have some exploration in their eyes when they looked at Chen Ping.

It was not because they doubted Chen Ping, but because they naturally needed to observe their superiors' words and expressions. They really wanted to know why Chen Ping suddenly summoned them.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
