Chapter 532: Golden Scale Saw Snake
A mountain valley.
"Soldiers, listen to my orders, form the Iron Bucket Formation!" Xu Xu Dali stood under the military flag and catalyzed military tactics.
Military Tactics—Soldiers Value Speed!
With this blessing of military tactics, the speed of the Barbarian Demon Camp increased by more than double.
However, the time to conclude the battle formation did not decrease much, and many people even ran to the wrong position because they were not used to the sudden acceleration, causing errors in cooperation with each other.
"Just like what was said in the intelligence, the training level of the Barbarian Demon Camp is the worst. Hahaha!"
"Brothers, hit them hard."
"If we don't eliminate these armies that are alone outside today, when they join together in the future, we will be the ones to be slaughtered."
Cultivators, mainly barbarian cultivators and supplemented by demon cultivators, frequently appeared in the mountains and forests, performing various spells, and concentrating fire on the Barbarian Demon Camp.
Rolling stones the size of cart wheels rolled down along the mountain trend, smashing the soldiers of the Barbarian Demon Camp until their heads were broken and bleeding.
Poison needles, as small as cow hair, were hard to guard against, and from time to time, soldiers of the Barbarian Demon Camp fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, twitching and dying.
There were also vines that suddenly burst out from the ground, strangling the soldiers who were caught off guard on the spot.
The Barbarian Demon Camp paid the lives of hundreds of people before they concluded the Iron Bucket Formation.
The moment the battle formation was successful, the defense of the whole army increased greatly, and the situation turned from danger to safety.
A carriage was hidden and flying at high altitude.
The coachman saw the battle between the Barbarian Demon Camp and the Thousand Peaks Forest indigenous cultivators below, and immediately transmitted his thoughts to the person in the carriage: "My lord, our army is at a disadvantage below, should we take action to help?"
According to the strength of the several cultivators in the carriage, once they took action, they would inevitably overturn the entire battle situation.
But Zhao Xi, who was the backbone, snorted coldly: "Xu Xu Dali is a waste, it's fine that the Barbarian Demon Camp is poorly trained. The key is that he directly concluded the Iron Bucket Formation and became a meat target."
"Simply ridiculous!"
"If he concluded an offensive battle formation, the other side is just a group of scattered soldiers, without an army, how can they resist?"
"Xu Xu Dali is the one who got himself into such a situation, what are we going to save?"
"The most important thing at the moment is to let me rush to the front camp and preside over the situation."
"Du Shuai is seriously injured and in seclusion, I, as the supervisor appointed by the monarch himself, must rush to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible."
"These armies were eliminated for a reason."
"Wait for me to go to the camp, naturally I can let the main army pay attention and send an army to respond. This is the decision a general should make. Go!"
The coachman was disdainful in his heart, but respectful on the surface: "Follow your orders, my lord!"
Liangzhu Kingdom front camp.
Ning Zhuo returned to his residence, drilled into the mechanical swimming dragon, and fiddled with various materials around three mechanical pedestals.
On the Xuanyuan Nine Work Platform, pieces of blue electric current silver were quickly processed into flexible metal silver wires. Each silver wire was occasionally surrounded by electric light.
Ning Zhuo put away the electric light silver wires and took out the Dragon Scale Gold.
He pressed his palm on the Xuanyuan Nine Work Platform and operated continuously. Pieces of Dragon Scale Gold were shaved into sharp hook shapes, and every knife down, the curvature and sharpness of the hook claws needed to be just right.
After making hundreds of them, Ning Zhuo checked and nodded, feeling very satisfied in his heart: "If I were to process them one by one, it would take at least three days and three nights, and the finished products would have many defects. How can there be such perfect quality?"
Ning Zhuo then took out a pile of half-dead half-alive beads.
"Chen Cha..."
Ning Zhuo's gaze was slightly trance-like, thinking of the good old man in his impression.
The half-dead half-alive bead was Chen Cha's original creation. He based it on the White Scale Hermit's formation collection, combined with his own experience and the flash of inspiration, and designed this mechanical accessory.
Mainly used in joints.
Each bead is divided into two sides, one side is pitch black, and one side is clean white. The black side has a "dead" word, and the white side has a "live" word.
When the bead turns to the white live side, the joint will move freely. When the bead turns to the black dead side, the joint part will be locked accordingly.
There is also a secret connection between the beads. If the cultivator carves formation patterns on the main mechanical part, it can constitute one or more live formations.
Initially in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, the grade of the wooden beads provided by Chen Cha to Ning Zhuo was too low. The beads Ning Zhuo uses now are all specially made by him, reaching the Golden Core level.
Ning Zhuo worked hard, using these half-dead half-alive beads as a foundation, using electric light silver wires to wrap and pull, building a snake body woven from a metal network. Afterwards, he used the scales made of Dragon Scale Gold to cover the metal grid.
In this way, a prototype of a mechanical creation was formed.
Next, Ning Zhuo used spiritual sense, magic power, and mechanical tools to process it further. For example, adding talismans, building formations, etc.
More than an hour later, a mechanical creation like a golden snake lay quietly on the table of the mechanical pedestal.
Mechanical Beast—Golden Scale Saw Snake!
This mechanical snake was Dantian Shining with gold, very exquisite. The snake body was covered with sharp saw-toothed scales. The snake mouth opened, and a pair of hook-shaped sharp teeth could extend.
Ning Zhuo tried to catalyze, and saw the Golden Scale Saw Snake winding and swimming on the mechanical table, its movements were flexible, stretched, and quite natural.
Ning Zhuo took out another iron tree stump.
The Golden Scale Saw Snake rushed forward, leaving a golden shadow in Ning Zhuo's field of vision.
Its body extended and wrapped around the iron tree stump.
Mechanical Technique—Golden Scale Saw Kill!
Ning Zhuo started this self-created mechanical technique, the scales of the Golden Scale Saw Snake stood upright and pierced into the iron tree stump.
Each scale rotated rapidly, like cutting tofu, directly cutting into the interior of the iron tree.
As the Golden Scale Saw Snake rolled tighter and tighter, the iron tree stump as thick as a face basin was easily cut into two sections, with no ability to resist.
"Very good, very good."
Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Next, it's practical combat, drawing experience from it, and making the staff head."
"Wait until the follow-up work of the staff head is completed, this Golden Scale Saw Snake can be considered completely finished."
Ning Zhuo did not stop his steps.
Next, he also had to design two other mechanical creations.
Because relying on the Golden Scale Saw Snake alone, this mechanical creation obviously would not be the opponent of the ginseng dragon whisker, and it was difficult to achieve results in practical combat.
Ning Zhuo worked all night, and by the next morning, there were three brand-new mechanical creations in front of him.
In addition to the first Golden Scale Saw Snake, there was also a set of seven Rolling Electric Ball Cages, and a Rooted Drilling Hammer.
When Liu Er and Generals Generals Guan Hong found Ning Zhuo, Ning Zhuo showed his results to the two and introduced them briefly.
Generals Generals Guan Hong didn't know much about mechanical arts, but he knew deeply that Ning Zhuo was not a simple character, and immediately expressed his expectation.
Liu Er sincerely praised: "Before meeting the military advisor, I really couldn't imagine that there would be such a genius boy in the world."
"Military advisor, you actually specialize in mechanical arts, and those five-element spells are just concurrent practice."
"Sigh, if this secret is leaked, there will be countless people who are amazed."
Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo solemnly: "Military advisor, your future is really limitless. In time, you are likely to rank on the Young Master List!"
Ning Zhuo waved his hand immediately, modestly indicating that Liu Er praised him wrongly: "The Young Master List covers the entire cultivation world, what kind of virtue and ability do I have to be selected into it?" Generals Generals Guan Hong said: "According to what Generals Generals Guan has seen in his life, military advisor, you are the most promising one to climb the Young Master List."
Deep underground, there was a Dragon King Temple.
The entrance to the temple was a stone gate. The stone gate was full of traces of time, heavy and old.
Pushing open the stone gate, it was the temple hall.
More than twenty giant pillars supported the dome. The pillars were made of ten-thousand-year-old wood, and each pillar was inlaid with golden dragon scale decorations, the dragon head held high, the dragon tail winding, lifelike.
The light in the temple was dim, and the stone walls around it emitted faint yellow light.
The air was filled with a damp smell, mixed with water vapor and the mysterious fragrance of herbs.
In the center of the temple hall was the main altar, about three feet high, and the altar was filled with rich dragon energy.
A special Dragon King statue was enshrined on the altar.
It had no claws and no scales, the dragon head was held high, and the dragon whiskers were overflowing, which was exactly the appearance of the Ginseng Root Dragon King.
At this moment, the Dragon King statue had dim eyes and a dying aura, revealing that the state of the body was very bad.
!
Under the altar, there was a huge incense table, burning three large incense sticks. Each incense stick was as thick as a face basin and one foot high, and the smoke produced by the burning drifted to the surroundings of the Dragon King statue and was slowly absorbed by it.
In addition to the large incense sticks, there were also a large number of sacrifices.
Long Ye, as one of the temple keepers, was organizing sacrificial activities with the other four temple keepers.
As the sacrifice deepened, the sacrifices were consumed rapidly, turning into strands of nutrition and power, injected into the Ginseng Root Dragon body hidden somewhere.
The sacrifice paused, and the temple keepers sat on the floor tiles, all racing against time to recover as much as possible.
The heavy breathing gradually disappeared, and the originally pale complexion gradually reappeared with a trace of blood.
Performing sacrifices is not so simple and easy.
Even Long Ye felt arduous, even more tired than his fierce battle in the ambush battle before.
At this time, a flying letter flew over, bringing the latest military situation.
The temple keepers quickly cast their spiritual sense, and after reading it, one of the old temple keepers looked at Long Ye: "A-Long, you should go back to preside over the battle situation."
"If you are not there, the people in the front camp will run away."
"There are a few of us old guys here, that's enough."
Long Ye looked embarrassed, looked at the Dragon King statue, and said with extreme worry and concern: "Those outsiders are not worth mentioning, my heart only has the god."
The old temple keeper immediately continued: "Precisely because of this, you should go back to preside over the overall situation even more. You need to lead the alliance to block and besiege the Liangzhu Kingdom army, kill as many as possible!"
"Only in this way can we win more time for my master to recuperate and recover!"
Long Ye gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "Understood, I will go back to preside over the overall situation."
He knelt down and kowtowed, looking back three times for every step, and left the Dragon King Temple reluctantly.
Escaping from the ground, his speed was much faster.
"This guy Lu Lu Lu Hongtu is slippery. He has been inviting people's hearts and not obstructing those who go out, causing many of our high-level cultivators to be killed by military weapons when picking up spoils of war."
"Those Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts are also ill-intentioned, instigating our high-level cultivators to probe the enemy's firepower for them."
"The most critical one is the old monster Shi Zhong!"
"Actually, he hasn't appeared until now. Good patience..."
Like Lu Lu Lu Hongtu, Long Ye also knew deeply that the old monster Shi Zhong was the most critical point. If he didn't appear, the Ginseng Root Dragon King and Du Du Tiechuan would never go all out to fight.
Long Ye secretly returned to the military camp, but did not appear in the discussion tent for the first time, but found Young Master Shengxu.
"Your previous quote, our side agreed." Long Ye had a solemn face.
But Young Master Shengxu shook his head: "Things have changed, Long Ye."
"Now, my quote has to double again."
"Um?!" Long Ye stared, anger rising in his heart, "You are taking advantage of the fire."
Young Master Shengxu smiled slightly: "I am on the Young Master List, and now both your side and the Liangzhu Kingdom's Soul Transformation cultivators are seriously injured. My action this time is likely to change the final result of this great battle. So, I am completely worth this price!"
Long Ye shook his head: "It makes sense. But even if I want to pay, I don't have this ability. You know, you want cash. After all, the Thousand Peaks Forest Alliance is an alliance, and if I empty the family background of my Dragon King Temple line, I can't come up with your reward. After all, there are too many places that need money."
Young Master Shengxu knew this result early: "Don't worry, cough, cough, I accept treasure deduction."
A flash of light flashed in Long Ye's eyes: "What do you want?"
Young Master Shengxu straightened his back slightly and slowly spat out four words: "Life Sea Dragon Spring."
Long Ye was so angry that he almost wanted to take action, and resolutely rejected: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Liangzhu Kingdom front camp.
A carriage fell from the sky, landed quietly, then revoked the spell, and gradually appeared.
The generals had been waiting for a long time, and seeing the supervisor Zhao Xi get off the carriage, they saluted one after another.
Zhao Xi held the staff representing his identity, held his head high, scanned the surroundings, only nodded slightly, and his posture was very high.
"I have already reported the previous great battle, the monarch is very concerned, how is Du Shuai now?"
Immediately, a general reported that Du Du Tiechuan had gone into deep seclusion, and specific military affairs were handed over to others to deal with together.
Zhao Xi was overjoyed in his heart: "Well, working for the country is the way of a minister, so I will take on this heavy responsibility."
The generals looked at each other, and because of their status, they had to obey.
Zhao Xi immediately rushed to the Commander's Mansion, asking about the situation in the camp along the way.
The generals reported: The whole army had almost revoked the Iron Skin Meat Armor, and was currently actively recuperating, their state was recovering rapidly, and in three or four days, there would be an army that could be mobilized and dispatched.
And during this period of time, it was mainly the generals at the Golden Core and Fang Yuan Infant levels who wandered around the battlefield to do the cleaning work.
Also reported: There were many petty people in the Thousand Peaks Forest who also wanted to pick up spoils of war, and were taught a lesson by the heavy weapons in the army, either dead or injured, and there were many results.
Zhao Xi was moved when he heard this, and immediately asked about the spoils of war.
Someone took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhao Xi: "My lord, this is the complete record of the spoils of war captured so far."
Zhao Xi scanned with his spiritual sense and found that there was also a military merit leaderboard.
The one at the top of the list was Liu Er.
He was displeased: "A mere mixed-blood, actually occupying the top of the list? What's wrong with the others?"
A general explained: "Supervisor, this Liu Er also just squeezed up last night. Maybe, when the list is re-ranked at noon today, he will fall."
Other generals echoed one after another, saying it was an accident, and Liu Er had been ranked outside the fifth before.
Zhao Xi nodded slowly, but became anxious in his heart: "This Liu Er is an outsider, with no power and no influence, and he can actually occupy the top of the list. This shows that he really looted a lot."
"These spoils of war are all military merit."
"I worked hard to rush here, if I can't get military merit, how can I be worthy of this adventure of mine?"
