Chapter 57: Surprise

Between the claws, there was the sound of wind and thunder.

But the human skin actually curled and shrank to dodge this claw. If it were a person or a solid creature, it would definitely not be able to dodge it, but the human skin was flat and could perform such an incredible movement.

Wu Pifu could not fly or hover. After missing the claw, he landed on the ground. Watching the human skin fly more than ten meters away, he chased after it again. His speed while stepping on the ground far exceeded the flying speed of the human skin.

Although Amida also jumped off the carriage to chase, his speed was not much faster than an ordinary person. Even though his strength was sufficient, every step he took cracked the surface of the bluestone road, but his speed still could not increase. This was perhaps the drawback of his set of cultivation techniques.

Wu Pifu rushed under the human skin for the second time. Just as he was about to jump higher, when both hands could cover the human skin, a baby's cry suddenly came from nowhere. As soon as this sound entered his brain, Wu Pifu trance-like saw a baby's split corpse stuck with bamboo sticks all over its body. The bamboo sticks connected the baby's limbs and head, and the baby was crying at him.

In this instant, his whole body stiffened immediately, and he could no longer jump toward the human skin. However, at the same time, the Qi and blood in his body flowed rapidly through his whole body, and the blood energy surged from his body to his skin. In about 0.5 seconds, he was able to move again.

But because of this distraction, he could not jump up again, and the human skin turned in a direction and flew toward the residential houses.

This was not a modern society. Even in Dongjing Bianliang, which was considered the most prosperous at the time, many buildings were chaotic. If the human skin flew into them, they would never be able to catch up.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the human skin suddenly stopped in mid-air. Wu Pifu noticed with sharp eyes that there was a problem with the shadow of the human skin on the ground. A humanoid figure that had appeared out of nowhere was pulling the shadow of the human skin.

Seeing this, Wu Pifu didn't even have time to think. He lunged forward, pounced under the human skin with a "Crazy Tiger Pouncing on the Stream" move, then jumped up abruptly, his hands in claws, grabbing at the human skin at the same time.

Just as his hands were about to touch the human skin, another baby's cry rang in his ears. But this time, Wu Pifu was mentally prepared. The moment before the baby's cry rang out, his Qi and blood energy erupted simultaneously, and he actually resisted the impact of the illusion and sound, and his hands finally grabbed the human skin tightly.

Huge power and cold corrosive sensation came from the human skin, but Wu Pifu's hands were like iron, and he didn't care about the slight pain in his hands, just concentrating his blood energy and Qi and blood on his hands.

Sure enough, the human skin seemed to be burned by fire. The two powers countered each other. The black energy corroded his flesh, while his Qi and blood energy could burn this black energy.

The human skin seemed to be a living creature. When it was burned, it began to struggle in pain. At the same time, a voice actually came from the hollow mouth of the human skin: "Let, let go, let go……"

But how could Wu Pifu let go?

His heart was small!

And they looked glamorous now, but they were actually walking on thin ice, relying on the immortal deterrence left by Chu Minghao. But if the three of them didn't show enough strength, this deterrence would fade over time. By then, not to mention demons and monsters, even the Great Song imperial court might have problems!

Wu Pifu grabbed the human skin tightly, letting it burn slowly. Not long after, Amida ran to the vicinity, and ten seconds later, Xu Shilan also ran over.

Both were silent, just watching the human skin burn. Until the human skin burned into ashes, the three returned to the carriage with the broken roof. At this time, several patrol soldiers were near the carriage, and the coachman who drove the carriage identified their identities.

Afterward, the three sat in the carriage, and the soldiers surrounded the carriage, protecting the three as they returned to the imperial-bestowed mansion.

The expressions of the three were a bit gloomy, and they were silent all the way. Until they went to the mansion hall, Xu Shilan took out a pure white invitation, threw it on the table, and wiped her palms with disgust at the same time.

Wu Pifu picked up the invitation and felt something wrong as soon as he touched it. He frowned and touched it, then said coldly: "Human skin?"

Xu Shilan nodded with disgust. Amida took the invitation and touched it too, saying: "Yes, it's human skin."

The three looked at the words "Ghost Fan Tower" written on the invitation, and for a moment they all felt it was absurd.

They didn't go looking for this Ghost Fan Tower, but they didn't expect the Ghost Fan Tower to invite them instead?

It was just that the banquet was not a good one; this was clearly a Trap Banquet!

Wu Pifu immediately said: "This is baseline reality 0.7. Our strength is probably equivalent to experts of baseline reality 0.9, or ordinary extraordinary people of 0.8. Guo Jing only seemed weak because of the suppression of the Golden Dragon of National Fortune. Today, this human skin could resist my blood energy and Qi and blood. We cannot go to this Ghost Fan Tower!"

Amida didn't speak, but Xu Shilan stared at the invitation with sharp eyes and said: "No, we must go! Not only must we go, but we must also give this Ghost Fan Tower a hard blow!"

Wu Pifu retorted: "What about strength!? The idea is good, and I also know why we need to give a hard blow. If we don't, how can we establish a foothold? But what about strength? This is the most realistic problem!"

Xu Shilan laughed, shook her head slightly and said: "Little Brother Wu, your thinking needs to be more open. We are not people from this Dream World, so how can we do things according to the ideas of this Dream World?"

Wu Pifu frowned: "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Xu Shilan took the invitation and slammed it on the table: "I am a survivor of the Fourth War, Amida is a veteran of the Third War with metal manipulation ability, and you are a person from the 21st century who knows the history and common sense of various ancient Dream Worlds. Why do we have to fight with fists and evil arts like the natives of this Dream World?"

"Amida! Use your metal manipulation ability, and we will manufacture high-explosive bombs. I know several formulas for ultra-high-power explosives. I will provide the formula and debugging method, and you will manufacture them. Little Brother Wu, you are responsible for getting materials from the Great Song imperial court, and you are responsible for dealing with them, as well as giving these high-explosive weapons names that fit this world view and have an 'immortal' flavor!"

Xu Shilan was full of a murderous aura. This was a look she had never shown since she woke up, but Wu Pifu and Amida inexplicably felt that this was the real her.

That's right, a woman who had been sentenced to so many crimes and prison terms by the Human United Government, but who knew Chu Minghao, a presidential candidate of the Human United Government, must have a thrilling past. The three had a clear division of labor and soon took action. Xu Shilan and Amida first went to process various metals to manufacture suitable alloys and raw materials. At the same time, Xu Shilan also gave Wu Pifu a list of materials. However, what surprised Wu Pifu was that this list did not contain sulfur, charcoal, etc., but instead had various animal fats and various plants.

Just as Wu Pifu was thinking about how to get supplies from the Great Song imperial court, at nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the steward suddenly reported that the Prince of Kang, Zhao Gou, was visiting.

Soon, Zhao Gou entered the hall from outside the mansion. The first thing he saw was the invitation on the table. He said with some anger: "The three of you have been frightened. This is truly a shame for our Great Song…… Brother Wu, rest assured, the Emperor already knows about this. He has ordered the many masters and high-ranking priests of the Offering Institute to be ready, and the Forbidden Army will also be dispatched to carry out a major cleanup of this Ghost Fan Tower and the Worry-Free Cave!"

Wu Pifu smiled and said: "Can you pull out the Ghost Fan Tower and the Worry-Free Cave by the roots?"

Zhao Gou showed some embarrassment: "We will definitely try our best, definitely try our best."

"No need."

Wu Pifu shook his head: "The other party sent us an invitation personally. If we don't go, wouldn't that lower the face and prestige of our elders? Since when do mortals dare to trample on immortals like this? That doesn't make sense, does it?"

Zhao Gou hesitated for a moment and said: "Although I know the Immortal Elder must have left the three of you with support, after all, there are five years of time. Using it now…… Brother Wu, you really don't have to gamble with those monsters."

Wu Pifu said: "This is not gambling, but really intending to go there personally. Otherwise, why did we come to this mortal world? To live in luxury in this mansion? If we don't eliminate these monsters, our Dao hearts will not be at peace!"

Hearing the words "Dao heart," Zhao Gou knew he couldn't persuade them. He said: "Is there anything I need to do? Is there anything the Great Song needs to do?"

Wu Pifu then smiled and said: "It is needed. We need to make some small magic tools. After all, that is the other party's lair, so we cannot be careless. We also need the Prince of Kang to prepare for us."

!

Zhao Gou immediately patted his chest and said: "This is a small matter, easy! Brother Wu, just say it."

Wu Pifu listed the items provided by Xu Shilan one by one. Zhao Gou ordered the steward to bring paper and pen and wrote them down one by one. Although he was very curious about what these things could be used to manufacture, he naturally couldn't be nosy at this time.

A unified empire with a population of hundreds of millions, even if it is a feudal era country, its mobilization power is unimaginable for an individual.

Early the next morning, all the items requested by Xu Shilan were delivered, and the quantity of each was calculated in "carts." Among them were precious Chinese herbal medicines and great tonics like tiger bone, velvet antler, and bear gallbladder requested by Wu Pifu. Well, they were also calculated in "carts."

There was a huge warehouse in this mansion. As these items were sent into the warehouse, Xu Shilan and Amida began to select the materials they needed.

Xu Shilan processed, debugged, and purified the materials, while Amida used metal to manufacture various instruments, parts, and the shells of explosives.

By the third night they came to this world, in Xu Shilan's room, Wu Pifu saw several metal beads about the size of a thumb.

"N5 high-explosive characteristic explosive."

Xu Shilan smiled and said: "It's a pity there are no higher-level precision instruments, otherwise even N7 could be manufactured."

Wu Pifu naturally didn't know what N5 or N7 was. He just picked one up and asked: "What about the power?"

Xu Shilan looked around and said: "If it were a baseline reality 1.0 real world, one N5 could blow up half of this mansion."

"Ha!?"

Wu Pifu opened his mouth wide and said: "Do you know how big this mansion is!? It's at least ten thousand square meters!"

Xu Shilan smiled: "That's right, it's blowing up half of this place. But that's the real world. This is a 0.7 Dream World, so I don't know how powerful it is. So we still need to experiment. Tomorrow we will go out of the city to test it!"

Amida laughed on the side: "Even if the power is smaller, we will win by quantity. This thing is not difficult to manufacture. Most of the effort before was spent on instrument manufacturing. Now we can manufacture at least one thousand per day. By the invitation day after tomorrow, we can manufacture nearly two thousand!"

Two thousand bombs with an explosion range of five thousand square meters?

Are you planning to wipe out Dongjing Bianliang?

Wu Pifu was speechless for a moment, but he was still happy in his heart. Holding the small metal ball, he said: "If it can explode, even if the power is reduced to one-tenth, it will be enough. By then……"

"Give the evil cultivators of this world a scientific surprise!"
