Chapter 530

Two Zhu Kingdom Main Force Camp.

Three Generals Camp, Red Flower Camp, White Jade Camp... each army was assigned to its own camp.

Cries of pain came from every camp.

The soldiers were all performing the same spell to remove the Iron Skin Meat Armor Technique on their bodies.

The Iron Skin Meat Armor Technique is a demonic art, seeking quick success and instant benefits, with endless hidden dangers. Now, in the absence of enemy troops pressing in, it is the best time to remove this demonic art.

The military supply officer provided spiritual liquid and elixirs at the right time. The former soaked the cultivators, greatly loosening the connection between the flesh and the armor. The elixirs were classified into seven types, taken in sets, which could greatly improve the success rate of removing this demonic art, reduce the pain of the cultivators, and preserve as much combat effectiveness as possible afterwards.

If elixirs were not used, not only would it be very likely to fail, but even if successful, they would fall into a long period of weakness.

This was obviously something the soldiers did not want to see.

This grand battle had been won. Although the Ginseng Root Dragon King still remained alive, it was obvious that it had been defeated, and its injuries were definitely heavier than Du Tiechuan's.

Everyone knew that in the period of time to follow, it would be the best time for each army to use this military camp as a center to strike out in all directions and reap war merits.

Everyone had paid such a high price and taken such incomparable risks to get to this point, and seeing that they were about to reap a large amount of war merits and possibly return in triumph later to ennoble their wives and children.

At this time, no one would save these expenses, causing themselves to be weak for a long time, combat effectiveness to drop, and the reaping of war merits to decrease.

Therefore, although the spiritual liquid and elixirs were expensive, the vast majority of soldiers gritted their teeth and bought them.

Three Generals Camp.

Zhang Hei presided over the situation, protecting batches of cultivators, soaking in spiritual liquid, taking elixirs, and constantly removing the armor growing on their flesh.

The expenses for these spiritual liquids and elixirs naturally all came from Ning Zhuo.

Liu Er and Generals Guan Hong were in seclusion in their respective houses.

Participating in the military tactics of the Iron Flow Flat Plains this time had benefited them a lot, and they had learned a lot.

Therefore, taking advantage of this rest period, they immediately went into seclusion to review and reflect.

Ning Zhuo was no exception.

It was just that his cultivation of the military path was far inferior to cultivators like Liu, Generals Guan, Zhang, and Mu.

After a day and a half of meditation, Ning Zhuo not only had a deeper understanding of the Iron Flow Flat Plains military tactics, but also had a deeper understanding of the Brave Man's Return Technique.

The progress of the latter was obviously more helpful to Ning Zhuo than the former.

Sun Lingtong was the same.

Although he was huddled in the mechanical swimming dragon, he could be considered half a participant. With his extraordinary comprehension, he also had many gains.

It was just that the degree of gain was far inferior to Ning Zhuo, who had experienced it personally.

Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and officially ended this meditation.

"War is actually such a fun thing." Sun Lingtong felt excited and regretful, "If I had known this, I would have joined the army too!"

Ning Zhuo's feeling was the opposite of his: "It's too terrifying. More than two thousand people died in our main force."

"Although the Iron Flow Flat Plains military tactics are powerful, pushing horizontally all the way, rushing to the enemy's base camp with a crushing momentum."

"But as a participant, I was full of pride when fighting and did not fear death. Now looking back, I feel small and powerless, and very fearful."

"In the end, I am just one of thousands of soldiers."

"I survived just because I was lucky. The Ginseng Root Dragon King's dragon breath didn't spray on me."

After a pause, Ning Zhuo looked down at his mechanical ring: "Even if the ring warns me, in the situation at that time, I couldn't change my location at will in the state of the Iron Flow Flat Plains."

"So, even if the mechanical ring warned me, it was useless!"

Sun Lingtong said "Hmm": "This is a matter of course."

"Little Zhuo, you don't even think about it, we are just small cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Compared with existences at the Soul Transformation stage, we are not even ants when we are by their side."

"However, by borrowing military tactics, national power, etc., we can gather the crowd and jointly burst out with combat power at the Soul Transformation stage."

"To be able to do this step, it is already rare enough. Still wanting to guarantee life and safety, don't you think this requirement is too high?"

Ning Zhuo was silent for a moment, clenching his fists: "In short, after this battle, I have decided to take care of myself and participate less in this kind of war that far exceeds my ability."

"I should improve my cultivation more!"

Sun Lingtong immediately expressed his agreement with this idea.

The next day.

"Stop, this ginseng dragon whisker belongs to our army."

"Obviously it was killed by my army. Your side's cultivators are too despicable, actually snatching it when my army is exhausted!"

Two generals at the Golden Core stage argued loudly.

"Hmph, it's your people who suffered heavy losses and have already withdrawn from the battlefield. That's when our army took action."

"According to what you said, as long as you walk around the battlefield and fight with every ginseng dragon whisker before retreating, then these ginseng dragon whiskers should all be yours?"

The argument between the two became louder and louder, attracting the attention of many people.

In the end, they were both called to the Main Marshal's Mansion by the transmitting cultivators.

The soldiers of the Three Generals Camp were a bit restless.

The grand battle was over, and the winner was naturally the Two Zhu Kingdom side.

However, before, the main force of the army was building military camps and laying down defensive measures, allowing the army to catch its breath and eliminate the Iron Skin Meat Armor Technique, so there was not much energy to clean up the battlefield.

And what was left on the battlefield was a huge amount of wealth!

The ginseng whiskers, dragon blood, etc., that were cut off during the battle by the Ginseng Root Dragon King were all precious materials. Although only the main body of the Ginseng Root Dragon King was at the Soul Transformation stage, these ginseng whiskers that could be left on the battlefield were at least at the Golden Core stage!

And the sword techniques, military tactics, etc., released by Du Tiechuan also left deep marks on the battlefield. Even if they were just some traces, one could glimpse the secrets of his cultivation from them, bringing many inspirations to those with high comprehension.

"Now most of the soldiers are still resting, their bodies are weak, and their combat effectiveness has fallen into a trough."

"But generals at the Golden Core and Soul Transformation stages are not in this category and can go out of the camp first to scavenge the battlefield!"

Ning Zhuo soon understood the situation before him.

Military Order—Clean up the battlefield!

Soon, after dealing with the dispute between the two Golden Core generals, a military order was issued to the entire army from the Main Marshal's Mansion.

The content of the military order was very simple: war merits would be calculated based on the amount of war spoils collected.

All war spoils belonged to the Two Zhu Kingdom, and no soldiers were allowed to hide them privately. Anyone discovered would be dealt with according to military law.

After reading the relevant exchange rules, Ning Zhuo couldn't help but feel moved.

"According to the military order, at the current time, all my war merits can be exchanged for corresponding military supplies."

"Even if they are not in the military supplies, I can report them immediately. Then, the army will be organized by the Royal Capital of the Two Zhu Kingdom to transport and send rewards regularly."

That afternoon, Ning Zhuo followed Liu Er and Zhang Hei out of the main force camp and entered the previous grand battlefield.

The battlefield was vast, and the nearest mountain peaks were more than ten miles away. And the mountain peaks that were close were almost all damaged, some were broken at the waist, some peaks were smashed onto other mountains, and some only had the foot of the mountain left.

Countless large and small broken stones covered almost the entire battlefield, mixed with a huge amount of grass and wood debris, as well as the remains of animals and cultivators.

After so many days, these corpses had begun to rot and stink, so a faint smell of corpses lingered on the battlefield.

However, as long as the mountain wind blew, it could blow away the corpse smell, allowing the cultivators entering the field to breathe fresh air.

The battlefield was not just this kind of terrain, but also a large area close to the mountain body of the Ginseng Root Dragon King.

The soil in this area was yellowish-brown. Although it was not flat, compared to the piled-up broken stones, what was exposed here was fertile yellow soil, and there were a large number of pits.

As for the Ginseng Root Dragon King Mountain, the mountain body suffered from the previous battle and only six percent remained. These six percent of the mountain body were still shrouded in divine light, providing protection.

Golden Core cultivators like Liu Er kept a cautious distance. Who knew if an army would kill out from the remains of the Ginseng Root Dragon King Mountain.

Of course, as long as the Ginseng Root Dragon King did not appear, it would be difficult to change the overall situation here.

Ning Zhuo, Liu Er, and Zhang Hei shuttled through the battlefield and soon saw a ginseng dragon whisker, rooted in the pile of broken stones, like a large yellowish-brown python, lying softly on the ground without any energy.

However, after it felt the breath of Ning Zhuo and others, it immediately stood up. The whole body stood up, reaching six feet high, its breath was high, at the Golden Core stage, and it retained the divine charm of the Soul Transformation stage.

Liu Er took the lead, holding the Xuanhuang Sword and performing military tactics to bless himself.

He took the initiative to walk close and continuously performed two spells, both of which were for defensive power.

Bang bang bang.

The ginseng dragon whisker beat Liu Er, making a series of muffled sounds.

Liu Er was shrouded in a group of yellow light, his defense was strong, and he was beaten into the pile of broken stones before long.

While defending, Liu Er performed attack methods.

After a while, he returned to Zhang Hei and Ning Zhuo's side, panting, slightly tired.

He had probed the bottom of the ginseng dragon whisker.

This ginseng dragon whisker was far longer than what everyone saw before their eyes.

Most of its body shuttled through the pile of broken stones, and then rooted in the soil, absorbing nutrients to maintain survival.

!

The ginseng dragon whisker itself did not have many attack methods, mainly based on beating, sweeping, and entanglement.

However, every blow of it was heavy, and its intuitive reaction was quite sharp, so even a body cultivator like Liu Er found it difficult to get close.

The most critical thing was the recovery ability of the ginseng dragon whisker.

Its recovery ability was extremely strong, and many injuries caused by Liu Er could heal in a few breaths.

"It is not easy to cut off and harvest such a ginseng dragon whisker." Liu Er said with feeling.

Zhang Hei rubbed his hands: "Forget it, let's do it first."

He was irritable, immediately waved his black snake spear, ran forward, and fought with the ginseng dragon whisker.

He possessed the innate Wild Python Tendon and also cultivated the Black Wave Surging Sky Technique. The combination of the two made his power more violent the longer he fought.

For a time, the ginseng dragon whisker and Zhang Hei's black snake spear collided continuously, fighting inextricably.

Liu Er's eyes reflected this battle: "If this continues, even if the third brother wins and cuts off the ginseng dragon whisker, he will consume a lot."

This consumption is not just Zhang Hei's magic power, physical strength, weapon durability, etc., but also the ginseng dragon whisker.

The three of them came here this time to clean up the battlefield.

But if they fought fiercely like this, even if they captured the ginseng dragon whisker in the end, it would consume a lot of foundation, causing its quality to drop a lot.

"In this situation, we can only rely on you, Military Advisor." Liu Er smiled slightly and looked at Ning Zhuo, "You must have a way, right?"

Although Ning Zhuo was only at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, the combat power far exceeding most Golden Core cultivators made Liu Er treat Ning Zhuo as an equal long ago.

And since they met, Ning Zhuo had always had amazing performances, making Liu Er full of confidence in him!

Ning Zhuo had been using his spiritual sense to observe the ginseng dragon whisker and had also used some spells to probe.

"Hmm..."

"Let me try first."

Ning Zhuo performed a Metal-element spell, reaching deep into the pile of broken stones, and cut the lower part of the ginseng dragon whisker.

Metal overcomes Wood.

But Ning Zhuo's Metal-element spell was only at the Foundation Establishment level. And the ginseng dragon whisker before his eyes was at the Golden Core level and had a trace of Soul Transformation divine charm.

This resulted in the Metal-element spell only causing some abrasions on its surface. After a breath, it was completely healed.

Ning Zhuo was calm, he was just experimenting through spells.

Next, he continuously performed nearly ten spells, covering the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Liu Er witnessed this from the side and was secretly surprised, praising: "Military Advisor, does your family specialize in Five-element spells?"

"I have almost never seen the spells you performed."

"This makes me curious, how many Five-element spells have you mastered?"

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and did not reveal the truth of temporarily creating spells, only saying that Liu Er was overpraising.

Liu Er shook his head and sighed: "Military Advisor, you are too modest."

During the exchange, Ning Zhuo's actions did not stop.

"Tried it out." After a while, he stopped his hand, revealing a smile full of sense of achievement.

He performed three spells in succession, namely Fire-element, Metal-element, and Earth-element.

After the spells were performed in turn, the ginseng dragon whisker shook violently, its movements became stiff, and its combat effectiveness dropped by a large margin.

Liu Er's pupils shrank, and his heart trembled: "They were clearly just three Foundation Establishment level spells, but they had such a restraining effect on the Golden Core level ginseng dragon whisker!"

"Ning Zhuo..."

Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo with a grave expression, his pupils reflecting Ning Zhuo's white-clothed, big-headed youth appearance.

He was very certain in his heart: "In time, Ning Zhuo will definitely shine! Just his attainments in Five-element spells make his future limitless."

After being restrained, the ginseng dragon whisker was no longer as fierce and brave as before.

In the end, Zhang Hei waved his spear and chopped it down.

Liu Er took the opportunity to take action, performed a spell, and sealed it.

"Such a precious material, what is the market price?" Zhang Hei asked excitedly.

Liu Er didn't know very well.

Ning Zhuo touched his chin and estimated a number: "About thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones."

Liu Er and Zhang Hei were stunned, and then both became excited.

Liu Er was also afraid of poverty: "So many?"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Mainly because such a long one has enough quantity. And with the Soul Transformation name of the Ginseng Root Dragon King, perhaps reselling it to a distant place can have a premium."

"However, it will cost a large sum of money to eradicate the residual thoughts in the ginseng dragon whisker."

Liu Er's excited expression converged slightly, nodding lightly: "Indeed. The Ginseng Root Dragon King is not only at the Soul Transformation stage, but also walked the divine path. The thoughts of gods are often very stubborn and persistent."

Zhang Hei sighed: "It's a pity, we don't have a share of these ginseng dragon whiskers, they all have to be handed over."

Liu Er comforted him: "Exchanging for war merits, and then using war merits to exchange for military supplies, this is more suitable for us."

Zhang Hei shook his head: "Using it to exchange for war merits will definitely be the lowest market price. I, Old Zhang, know this without thinking."

Ning Zhuo's expression moved slightly.

Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo: "Military Advisor, according to our previous agreement, thirty percent of the battlefield gains of the Three Generals Camp belong to you."

"And this time, war merits can also be traded with each other."

"Ashamed, only now can we repay you."

Ning Zhuo waved his hand with a smile: "General, no need to care too much, you know me."

Liu Er laughed: "Meeting the Military Advisor is a happy event in my life."

Zhang Hei also laughed and followed: "I have the same idea."

For a time, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Ning Zhuo followed Liu and Zhang, cut off two more ginseng dragon whiskers, and it was noon.

Ning Zhuo carefully taught the several spells he created to Liu and Zhang, and told the two that he would go to probe alone.

Ning Zhuo had a transcendent status in the Three Generals Camp, Zhang Hei had no opinion, and Liu Er urged Ning Zhuo to be careful.

Entering the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon, Sun Lingtong said impatiently: "Quick, it's time for the Old Monster Shi Zhong to appear."
