Chapter 400: Accumulation and Preparation

"Oh, my little ancestor, it's not that this old man doesn't want to be faster, it's really that I'm too busy!"

In the military camp's forging workshop, Gongyang Quan appeared somewhat anxious and agitated under the urging of Tou Gui. He was well aware that the Great One was pressing for results, but the entire forging workshop was already operating at full capacity; it could not possibly go any faster.

"Then what are they doing?"

Tou Gui was quite dissatisfied with Gongyang Quan's complaints, so she pointed toward another section of the workshop and asked him.

"They are working on the God-Slaying Crossbows. I heard that is also something the Great One ordered, but they aren't finished yet, and who knows how much more effort it will take!"

Gongyang Quan explained directly to Tou Gui. The scale of the forging workshop was no longer small, and every area had corresponding tasks to complete.

"God-Slaying Crossbows? Can they really kill a God-Man?"

Hearing this name, Tou Gui could not help but be startled, so she could not resist continuing to press Gongyang Quan for answers.

"I don't know. The old man only heard them mention it. No one knows what the actual power is until it's brought out for a test!"

Gongyang Quan shook his head quite decisively, then immediately began directing others to continue their forging tasks.

"Clang—clang—"

The forging workshop where he was located was built specifically for smelting and casting Ghost Iron.

The most core and critical part in the middle of the entire workshop was a massive furnace; after large quantities of ore were transported here, they would be directly thrown into the furnace for smelting.

After smelting, the ore would form Ghost Iron containing a large amount of impurities, so it required constant hammering and forging afterward to make the Ghost Iron qualified.

Only after these steps could the Ghost Iron be used to manufacture chains, Ghost Prisons, and other items. This process required a massive amount of manpower and material resources, which was the main reason for the slow progress.

Fortunately, the one thing the military camp did not lack now was these resources. After understanding these processes, Tou Gui immediately began to mobilize more manpower and supplies to accelerate the progress.

At the same time, some less important tasks in other workshops were suspended, and they began to focus all their efforts on completing this critical task assigned by Lin Feng.

The Ghost Stonemasons did not have time to rest at this moment either; whether it was the Ghost Prisons or the divine statues, neither could be done without them. At this time, every single one of them was busy.

In the human world, Lin Feng frowned after learning the specific progress through the Shuangzi Gui, so he directly ordered the twins: "Tell those saints to send the craftsmen I requested as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Master!"

Previously, Lin Feng had time to wait, but now he was no longer so composed.

Coincidentally, not long after Lin Feng's order was issued, two groups of craftsmen were sent over, which made his mood improve slightly.

"Greetings, Great Saint!"

In the palace, these two groups of craftsmen came before Lin Feng and bowed in unison. Now, Lin Feng no longer had the leisure to test their skills one by one.

"All of you, rise. Next, I need you to go to the Yinjian to complete some extremely important tasks!"

"You need not worry about your safety. I have opened a sufficiently safe city in the Yinjian. Once you enter it, there will naturally be people to arrange what you should do."

Lin Feng's gaze swept over these craftsmen. To be honest, he still had some hesitation in his heart about sending them directly into the Yinjian.

But in the end, the actual need outweighed these emotions, so he gave the order to these craftsmen straightforwardly.

"... Yes, we will strictly follow the Great Saint's orders!"

These craftsmen originally wanted to ask questions, but they heard the unquestionable tone in the words of the person before them, so one by one, they wisely said no more nonsense.

"Click, click, click—"

Subsequently, the Ghost Gate opened directly, and with a wave of Lin Feng's hand, they were all sent into the Yinjian military camp.

These craftsmen only felt a blur before their eyes, and they arrived within a drill ground. The immense pressure all around made them feel somewhat breathless.

But before they could even familiarize themselves with the environment, a middle-aged man appeared before them and said:

"Are you all newcomers? Quickly report your respective specialties!"

"Report them all so I can arrange your work. Hurry up, don't just stand there! Everything is busy as can be right now; there's no time to stare at you here!"

Lu Daoguang looked at them, all still in a daze, and hurriedly urged them.

Now that every part of the military camp was in a flurry of activity, he had also been pulled over to assist with personnel arrangements.

"Yes, yes, yes! We were just sent over by the Great Saint!"

"May I ask, who are you?"

"I am best at performing ghost plays. Oh, and I can do shadow puppetry too!"

"..."

Once these craftsmen regained their senses, they immediately began to speak to Lu Daoguang in a jumble.

"Stop, stop, stop! Who can understand you when you all talk like that?"

"Like this: those skilled in blacksmithing, stand over here! Those skilled in stonemasonry, go over there!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it! The rest of you, think about your own skills. You, the one who performs plays, don't move yet!"

"..."

Lu Daoguang felt a headache from their chatter, so he simply roared once and then began to allocate the personnel.

Soon, craftsmen with different skills were arranged into various workshops. The addition of new personnel made the progress in many places much faster.

"Rattle—"

Soon, heavy chains began to be dragged out of the forging workshop by Iron Tower Zhiren. According to Lin Feng's requirements, each chain was ten miles long, made entirely of Ghost Iron, and extremely heavy.

"Master, the first batch of chains is basically finished. The current length can directly connect to one of the camps. Additionally, the bricks, stones, and Ghost Gates needed for the Ghost Prison are also finished."

At this moment, Tou Gui appeared by Lin Feng's side to report the latest progress. It could be said that her contribution to completing the first batch of chains so quickly was not small.

"Well done. Connect the chains; fix one end under the Ghost-Suppressing Tower and the other end at the eastern camp. Then, immediately install the Ghost Prison, the graveyard, and the divine statues!"

Lin Feng looked at the completed items and praised Tou Gui directly. Regardless, everything was proceeding according to plan.

"Yes, Master!"

Soon, the tall Iron Tower Zhiren began to act according to Lin Feng's requirements, and the related structures in the eastern camp were also being rapidly built.

As long as the two were connected, that camp would be able to borrow a portion of the military camp's power. If all eight camps were completed, they would completely become a single whole.

By then, the defensive power would become increasingly formidable, and it would not end up in a state where it could be destroyed at any moment.

"Master, another force has appeared on the outskirts of the camp. They seem to be planning to attack again!"

However, at this very moment, the Shuangzi Gui appeared again and reported this news to Lin Feng.

"No need to panic. Just continue to fight according to the previous arrangements!"

Lin Feng's gaze immediately looked toward the direction pointed out by the Shuangzi Gui, and then he said in a deep voice to the others beside him.
