"It's not really your fault!"

Seeing the confusion on Hu Tao's face, Li Chenzhou quickly said, "It's because the knowledge you've been instilled with since childhood is that Devourers are terrifying and you must stay away from them. So, subconsciously, you believe that Devourers are invincible.

"It's like how children are afraid of ghosts. Even many adults are very afraid of ghosts, but no one has ever seen a ghost. Zombies aren't ghosts either. It's just that adults have been scaring children since they were young, saying that if they don't listen, they'll be taken away by ghosts. That's why they're so afraid of ghosts!

"It's the same for you. So, from the beginning, you set your goals too high. It's like playing a game. You've always thought that the Devourer's base dungeon is full of level 100 monsters.

"So, before you prepare to push the dungeon, you increase your levels according to level 100. But now you're only level 80, so naturally you don't dare to enter the dungeon!

"Afterward, I took you to take down the Devourer's base, and you realized that the Devourer's base dungeon was actually just a level 60 dungeon. With your level 80 strength, even without me, you could have taken it down!

"In other words, you might have been able to drive the Devourers out of your homeland long ago. It's just that you've been habitually afraid and never turned your plans into action!"

"So, you deliberately acted so relaxed to make us temporarily put down our fear?"

Hu Tao asked.

"That's right!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. "Lao Hu, Du Gu, think about it carefully. After I came here, I led people in two battles – not counting the conflict at your own base!

"You saw both of those battles. The first was against the Controller, and the second was against the Devourers. How did you feel about the differences between the two?"

"Hmm… there is a difference!"

Hu Tao thought for a while and sighed. "Xiao Li, I think I understand what you mean! Before, when you led people to attack this base, it was filled with Blue Demons and zombies under the Controller.

"Because the Controller only appeared recently, we don't know much about them. So, when you attacked this place, although we were worried, we were also… excited! We were looking forward to what kind of surprises the guys you trained could bring us!

"And then, you led people to attack the Devourer's base. That time… to be honest, although the soldiers you brought were still personally trained by you, and the number far exceeded the first time you led people.

"But to be honest, at that time… I was quite worried. I was always thinking about whether you would all be wiped out. I think that's probably the shadow that the Devourers left on us?"

"Yes! Some people say that the unknown is the most terrifying. But there's something even more terrifying, and that's a guy whose strength everyone is talking about!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. At the same time, he thought of Xiao Ya in his previous life. Why was she so feared by all men? It was because of word of mouth, one spreading to ten, ten spreading to a hundred. In the end, as long as someone saw the Netherworld Corpse King, even if they were at the same level and might have had a chance to fight, they couldn't even muster the thought of going forward to fight.

It was like Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms period. If Cao Cao hadn't warned his subordinates because Guan Yu admired Zhang Fei, causing Zhang Fei's reputation to be extremely resounding in Cao's camp, how could he have scared away a million soldiers with just a few shouts in the Battle of Dangyang, and even directly scared one to death?

"Lao Hu! If you can't change your mindset, then you'll have a natural disadvantage when facing the Devourers. Look at the Prisoner Cage fighters flying around in the sky. All you think about is how to avoid their search, but you've never thought about developing a weapon that can shoot them down! That should be quite simple for you!"

Li Chenzhou said, pointing to the ground. "Including this war fortress, it's used for battle. But after you got it, the first thing you thought about and did was to disguise it so that the Devourers couldn't find it!

"This is your inertial thinking. You're used to avoiding, so you subconsciously hide the war fortress first!

"There's nothing wrong with doing this, of course, but you must adjust your mindset as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to fight the Devourers!"

"It's easy for us to say, but the key is our soldiers. Although the ones who fought with you should be much better now, most of the soldiers are like us, having grown up listening to stories about the Devourers. It won't be easy to change their mindset!"

Hu Tao said with a wry smile.

"That's actually very simple!"

Li Chenzhou suddenly smiled. "Since fighting can change them, then let's use fighting! Anyway, there are so many Devourer bases, we might as well just take them all down!"

"You're going to lead the team again?"

Hu Tao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly asked.

"I definitely can't lead the team now!"

Li Chenzhou quickly shook his head. "I have to go back to my world to confirm the world level. That's the top priority! But don't worry, just let those shrews lead the team. I'll go talk to them later!"

"Okay!"

Because of what Li Chenzhou had said before, Hu Tao nodded without hesitation. Li Chenzhou was right. If they couldn't suppress their long-standing fear of the Devourers, how could they fight them?

Moreover, the previous base was taken down, and no one on their side died. Even if it was because the Devourers were unprepared, it was enough to prove that the gap between humans and Devourers was definitely not as big as they thought!

"By the way, Xiao Li, come with me to the warehouse later. The evolution potions and weapons and equipment you left last time have been almost sold out! The warehouse is now full of mutated crystals!"

After solving the matter of attacking the Devourers, Hu Tao added, "However, those guys all want to trade with low-level mutated crystals, after all, low-level ones are easier to obtain. I figured you didn't care about high-level or low-level, so I agreed. But, I'll charge an extra 10% for those who want to trade with low-level mutated crystals! They agreed too!"

"No problem!!!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. Doruo World is a high-level world. There are many level nine ability users, and level seven and eight are even more common, more common than cabbage.

So, it's naturally easy for them to hunt low-level creatures and obtain low-level mutated crystals. But for them, low-level mutated crystals have limited use. What does a high-level world need so many low-level mutated crystals for?

Even if they're used as an energy source, it's definitely better to have higher-level ones. So, they naturally want to trade with low-level mutated crystals.

But for Li Chenzhou, he recovers them all to the Killing Mall. There's no difference between low-level and high-level, as long as the ratio is right! So, Hu Tao's method can be said to be a win-win situation…
