Chapter 320

The Gui Tie Ren Xiang had found a few rather special ores and was currently conducting basic tests on them.

"Blood Jade, purple copper ore, Dragon-Pattern Black Gold... I don't know which of these ores is the best."

Testing for hardness, density, and whether there were any special effects was not complicated; he followed the most basic method of using a carving knife to test, and then used the ores he already had on hand to test against each other.

In the end, Lin Feng selected the natural metal known as Dragon-Pattern Black Gold; this metal was pitch black in color and naturally possessed streaks of dark gold.

Overall, it belonged to a quite special type of natural metal, and in terms of material, it possessed both strength and toughness; other than the fact that the quantity that could be collected was relatively small, it had no obvious shortcomings.

Of course, Lin Feng had not tried using metal as a material for crafting divine statue formations before, and the inheritance of the Ghost Stone Craftsman did not record relevant content; it was even more impossible for a Ghost Iron Craftsman to use such fine metal materials in this way.

So, this meant that whether this attempt would succeed or not, Lin Feng could only test it himself.

Of course, how much difference using metal materials versus using ore materials would ultimately cause was also a question, but that was not something Lin Feng should be considering right now; after all, even the first step had not been completed yet.

After selecting the suitable materials, the Gui Tie Ren Xiang went straight to the drill ground. At this time, more than three thousand Guiyi had gathered here again, including four Disaster Ghosts, over two hundred Fierce Ghosts, and the rest were basically Li Gui.

Such a massive number of Guiyi was enough to show how intense the fighting outside the military camp was; after all, these were only the number of Guiyi suppressed by the Zhiren army—there were even more Guiyi that had not been suppressed or were able to contend with the Zhiren army!

"Click, click, click~"

After the Gui Tie Ren Xiang arrived at the drill ground, the Ghost Gate was opened, and subsequently, a large number of Guiyi were driven by the heavy-armored Zhiren to the graveyard in Xinglong Ling.

Lin Feng's main body was already waiting here. After he received the Calamity Ghost's corpse fragments and the raw materials for making the divine statue from the Gui Tie Ren Xiang, the Gui Tie Ren Xiang returned to the Yinjian military camp once again.

"Whew~ Let's start directly!"

Seeing the second batch of Guiyi before him, Lin Feng exhaled slightly and gave the order, and the Jieming Mu Gui beside him appeared directly.

"Snap! Snap, snap!"

With the sound of the leather whip cracking, all the Guiyi instantly became obedient; every single one of them stood honestly in place, waiting for the next transformation plan.

After being tamed, the Guiyi were directly covered with a layer of ghost-monster Zhiren shells, and then the Tanshi Gui, Shuzhuan Gui, and Xi Gui also took action.

Soon, a batch of Yin Soldier Zhiren that looked terrifying enough to make one's heart tremble took shape. Finally, the Tou Gui stepped up and used blood threads to stitch all the Guiyi powers together.

The more than three thousand Yin Soldier Zhiren had cyan-black flames faintly flickering all over their bodies; they were either covered in scales, had wings on their backs, or had horns growing on their heads.

Even though these Yin Soldier Zhiren also possessed a layer of thick armor for protection, they looked even more fierce and terrifying.

"Leave fifty Yin Soldier Generals and five hundred Yin Soldier Colonels; have the rest return to the Yinjian military camp!"

After completing this batch of Yin Soldier Zhiren, Lin Feng gave the order directly. The Yin Soldier Zhiren then quickly began to move, and soon only the five hundred or so Yin Soldier Zhiren that Lin Feng had requested remained in place.

"Click, click, click~ Bang!"

Immediately, the Ghost Gate closed heavily and then disappeared. Lin Feng looked at the Yin Soldier General and Colonel Zhiren in front of him, who were emitting terrifying auras, and shook his head slightly.

It was truly inappropriate to have them in this ghostly state responsible for the construction and operation of the Ghost Towers, so under his control, the power of the Xi Gui began to take effect.

All the Yin Soldier Zhiren in front of him immediately began to change; the original features belonging to ghost-monsters gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the cyan-black ghost flames faintly burning on their bodies gradually turned into patterns and designs on their bodies.

Finally, the appearance of these Zhiren basically turned into that of mysterious knights wearing bamboo hats, draped in black robes, and carrying long blades at their waists.

However, the appearance of the Yin Soldier Generals looked taller and more solemn, and due to the influence caused by the Fierce Ghosts' own Guiyi power, anyone who approached these Yin Soldier Generals would feel an inexplicable sense of fear.

"Next, each of you Generals will lead ten Colonels to the fifty provinces of Great Xia. The locations of the Ghost Towers in each place have been decided. Upon arrival, immediately begin construction of the Ghost Towers, and then start guiding ordinary people to become Ghost-Drivers..."

"Crack, crack."

"Swish, swish, swish!"

As Lin Feng's voice fell, these Zhiren immediately knelt on one knee to indicate they understood, and then they grouped up and quickly left the area of the Xinglong Ling graveyard.

Since both the Fierce Ghosts and Li Gui possessed Ghost Domains, their movement speed was naturally quite fast. According to Lin Feng's estimate, it would only take about half the night for them all to arrive at their designated locations.

Lin Feng did not intend to use the real method of bricks and tiles for the construction of the Ghost Towers; since he had arranged for Zhiren Generals comparable to Sages, it was enough to simply use the power of the Ghost Domain to form the Ghost Towers!

Moreover, using the Ghost Domain directly was safer for ordinary people or low-level Ghost-Drivers; after all, with the isolation of the Ghost Domain, outside Guiyi would find it difficult to enter, and they would not be easily affected by the outside world.

"In this way, this matter can be considered basically completed. Next, it depends on the effect during the operation process. If the Ghost-Drivers cultivated can meet my requirements, then this system of Ghost Towers can continue indefinitely."

"The Ghost Tower issues tasks, the Ghost-Drivers complete the tasks, suppress Guiyi, harvest Guiyi, and exchange for ghost items... I don't expect them to bring me much harvest, but at the very least, they cannot let the human world continue to be in chaos!"

Watching these Yin Soldier Zhiren disappear into the night, Lin Feng felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

"The key to what comes next still lies in the Yinjian! If the trouble in the Yinjian is not solved, the human world will never have peace, and as time goes on, it will definitely become even more severe!"

The coverage area of both the Great Saint Temples and the Ghost Towers is limited; in this era, there are far too many places that are desolate mountains and wild ridges.

Lin Feng could not possibly deal with those places, nor could he handle them all.

The only choice to resolve these disasters is to let the Yinjian return to its former state!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately took out the materials brought back by the Gui Tie Ren Xiang and began to craft the divine statue.

In the Yinjian, as the fighting outside the military camp became increasingly intense, other places also gradually began to undergo some new changes.

The Divine Blood Wasteland, the place where Lin Feng had once led the Zhiren army, was also where the remains of the Heavenly Gate had once existed.

"Gurgle~ Gurgle, gurgle~"

In a certain part of this wasteland, as the earth cracked open, a large amount of scarlet blood began to gush out.

At the same time the divine blood gushed out, it also carried out fresh corpses and several stone tablets. Not long after, those corpses slowly crawled out from the scarlet blood.

Then, with stiff bodies, they began to place all the stone tablets together. When looked at individually, each stone tablet had nothing special about it.

But when these stone tablets were placed in position, one would suddenly realize that these stone tablets were simply the tombstones of some existence...

After placing the tombstones, those corpses, which still looked exceptionally fresh, began to move again, but this time they began to stack themselves in front of the tombstones, eventually gradually forming something resembling a portal.

With the formation of this corpse-bone portal, some changes gradually occurred in the sky above the entire Divine Blood Wasteland. This change was not intense, but it was incomparably oppressive; even the Guiyi wandering in this wasteland prostrated themselves on the ground and gradually fell silent.

Looking over, a large number of Guiyi prostrated themselves toward the direction of the stone tablets and the corpse-bone portal, as if they were welcoming the arrival of some mysterious existence.
