Chapter 142
The armor Lin Feng forged can be disassembled, so even with only these Fierce Ghost limbs, the weapon-consecration can still be performed.
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel inside the original weapon-consecration pool is still merging with that two-headed Xi Gui, so it certainly cannot be used for a short time.
Thus, Lin Feng once again has the heavy-armored Zhiren move over a large piece of bluestone, then digs some small pools into this bluestone.
"The two Fierce Ghost arms correspond perfectly to the two arm guards, and the lower half of the Fierce Ghost is just right for the skirt armor, leg guards, and battle boots."
"As for the remaining chest armor, shoulder guards, and helmet, we will wait until the Zhiren army has more gains later to perform the weapon-consecration."
Following this arrangement, Lin Feng adds the black water, the Fierce Ghost limbs, and the armor parts into the pools respectively.
"Splash—!"
Soon the black water churns, and these severed limbs from different Fierce Ghosts begin to merge with the armor.
After finishing this, Lin Feng returns directly to the wooden house outside the Ding-character position graveyard, lying on the bed to rest while also keeping his mind on the Zhiren army in the Yinjian.
At this time, in the military camp, one Zhiren General, ten Zhiren Xiaowei, and five thousand heavy-armored Zhiren, along with scout Zhiren and miner Zhiren, are all prepared.
"Generals, as far as this lowly one knows, the nearest mineral vein to this place is the Sacred Bone Mountain, two hundred miles to the west. The mountain terrain there is treacherous, rugged, and steep, with Guiyi running rampant; it is not a kind place."
Looking at the uniform heavy-armored Zhiren army, and the Zhiren General and Zhiren Xiaowei already mounted on warhorses, Lu Daoguang reminds them with some caution.
This mineral vein was discovered by their ancestors by chance, but the place is truly too dangerous, so it was only recorded.
"Clatter—"
The horse hooves step lightly on the stone slabs of the camp floor; the Zhiren General gazes into the distance, his Fangtian Halberd pointing forward slightly.
There is no doubt this is telling him to lead the way; as for whether it is dangerous, the Zhiren simply have no concept of such things.
"Alright, this one will lead the way!"
Seeing this situation, Lu Daoguang is also helpless and can only hope that the other party can kill gods and Buddhas along the way so that he can safely complete this mission.
"Boom—"
Immediately, the camp gate slowly opens; the scout Zhiren ride directly on paper eagles and fly out of the camp, followed by the Zhiren General leading the Zhiren army out of the camp.
Originally, Lu Daoguang wanted to walk in front, but he was subsequently picked up by a Zhiren Xiaowei, only tasked with pointing the way.
The momentum of the army's mobilization is naturally not small, but there are scout Zhiren on paper eagles scouting the situation in the distance all around the army.
Because the power of the Tou Gui connects the entire Zhiren army together, the situation discovered by the scout Zhiren is known to the Zhiren General without needing to report.
Therefore, the Zhiren army rushes all the way without encountering any decent enemies; when encountering ordinary Malignant Ghosts or Great Ghosts, the Zhiren army suppresses them instantly with a single charge.
The two-hundred-mile journey across mountains and rivers is completed in less than an hour, and ahead lies the Sacred Bone Mountain in Lu Daoguang's words!
This is a mountain that seems somewhat special even in the Yinjian; the massive mountain body shoots straight into the clouds, the vegetation on the mountain is sparse, and the summit is covered by a layer of thick gray fog.
The entire mountain range is vast, with rolling peaks likely covering no less than dozens of miles.
The most special parts are the exposed rock faces on this mountain; those with good eyesight can see at a glance that those rocks have distinct human-like features.
"General, this is the Sacred Bone Mountain. My family's ancient records state that this mountain is very likely transformed from an ancient immortal mountain, and there may even be Disaster Ghosts in the mountain!"
Lu Daoguang looks at the mountain before him and hurriedly reminds the leading Zhiren General.
Although this army is strong, Disaster Ghosts are terrifying existences that can affect a large area; their mere existence is enough to make people feel fear.
"Crack, crack."
However, the Zhiren General seems to have no great reaction to the words, dismounting directly from the warhorse, and then the army begins to set up camp on the spot.
In the sky, the scout Zhiren directly ride paper eagles to begin exploring the entire Sacred Bone Mountain; through this method, the situation of the entire Sacred Bone Mountain is presented before Lin Feng.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, the gray fog at the summit rolls, and the scout Zhiren and paper eagles instantly turn into fly ash; those gray mists contain extremely terrifying power.
The moment the scout Zhiren are destroyed, the Zhiren army that had begun setting up camp becomes instantly alert, and the Zhiren General is ready to strike at any time.
However, after the gray mists churn, they do not spread down the mountain, but instead gradually calm down, appearing to have no signs of expanding.
Such a change scares Lu Daoguang out of his wits; if the Zhiren army were not right around him, he would definitely have started running away by now.
After standing by for a while, the Zhiren army continues to set up camp, while small groups of heavy-armored Zhiren take some miner Zhiren toward the foot of Sacred Bone Mountain.
"Heaven bless! Heaven bless!"
"Must not let anything go wrong!"
Seeing these Zhiren enter the mountain, Lu Daoguang immediately understands what is going on, so he immediately closes his eyes and begins to pray.
In reality, he curses himself in his heart; if he had known this, he would have mentioned a mineral vein that was further away but relatively safer!
It can only be said that he was ghost-possessed at the time, truly reluctant to hand over that small mineral vein to these terrifying troops; after all, that is where their family's true heritage has been for hundreds of years.
Fortunately, it does not take too long for the small unit that went to the foot of the mountain to return; the miner Zhiren's baskets are even carrying some human-like ores.
These ores were not dug out of the mountain, but picked up from some collapsed mountain rocks.
There is no doubt this is a large mineral vein, the kind where the whole mountain is ore, and one can get it without much mining!
Seeing these ores, the Zhiren General immediately demands the heavy-armored Zhiren to begin building a more solid camp.
Only a batch of scout Zhiren begin to disperse and enter the Sacred Bone Mountain to scout the situation; with those gray mists in the sky, they can only conduct reconnaissance from the ground.
According to Lin Feng's instructions, once the ore is found, there is no need to rush to mine; standing firm and scouting the situation clearly is the most important thing.
Soon, together with other Zhiren, the entire Zhiren army immediately begins to dig rocks on the spot to build a new military camp.
"I really didn't expect such a large mineral mountain to exist, but the gray fog on the mountain gives me a not-so-good feeling; I wonder if it's some kind of terrifying Ghost Domain?"
Inside the wooden house, Lin Feng slowly opens his eyes; successfully finding the mineral vein naturally makes him feel happy.
However, the gray mists just now destroyed the scout Zhiren in an instant, which is enough to show how dangerous it is inside.
"If it's just a Disaster Ghost, it's not a problem, but I don't know if it will be something even more dangerous?"
Lu Daoguang's strength is insufficient after all, and his ancestral ancient books cannot guarantee accuracy; Lin Feng still has some doubts about his words.
"Forget it, let's wait for the scout Zhiren to continue scouting in the mountain. If those gray mists don't spread, we'll ignore them for now; if they do spread, we must find a way to deal with it."
Lin Feng is not without trump cards in his hands; on the contrary, he has a rather special card, he just doesn't know how to use it for the time being.
