Chapter 174 The Storm Is Coming
As soon as Wang Baole's words came out, Zhou Lu's breathing stopped. Obviously, although she expected that Wang Baole would not admit it, she did not expect the other party to call herself a beauty.
But this title did not dissipate her anger, she snorted coldly at this moment, but she also knew that there was no time for revenge, so she glared at Wang Baole, and when she looked at Chen Yutong, Zhou Lu got up and bowed.
"This is Senior Brother Chen Yutong, right? Please also give me the task jade slip issued by Misty Daoist Academy." Zhou Lu should be more polite to Chen Yutong even if she is a member of the military.
On the one hand, it is Chen Yutong's cultivation, and on the other hand, it is also his background. You must know that to be a candidate for the deputy head of the Magic Bing Pavilion, this status is already extremely high outside.
Chen Yutong also suppressed his inner thoughts at this moment, and stepped forward to give the jade slip. Even if the other party's cultivation level was not as good as his own, he was still polite, which made Zhou Lu feel a lot of affection for Chen Yutong.
In particular, Chen Yutong has a handsome appearance, such an identity, and such a cultivation level, which makes many female disciples in the upper courtyard of the Misty Taoist Academy admire him, but it is a pity that he is always alone and has no relationship with any female disciples.
Soon, under the cooperation of Zhou Lu and Chen Yutong, the mission of Misty Taoist Academy was implemented by the military, and finally arranged in a small fortress, where they will be responsible for the maintenance of the Vulcan Cannon during the beast tide Work.
After the task was completed, Chen Yutong, Wang Baole and others walked out of the military tent with the jade slips given by the military. As for Zhou Lu, she stared coldly at Wang Baole's back and snorted again in her heart.
"I, Zhou Lu, am not a person who avenges private revenge. Otherwise, it would be very easy to pick him up this time! But in the future, I will take revenge!" Zhou Lu looked back and continued to deal with official business.
At this moment, the three of Chen Yutong, who walked out of the military tent, stepped into the airship again, and were about to go to the small fortress designated by the mission, looked at Wang Baole one after another. Zhou Penghai and Sun Fang were not easy to ask, but Chen Yutong couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
"Baole, you must know that female officer just now, is she also in Lingxi Township? Could it be that she is also planning to strip you naked? No, this woman should not have entered the upper court of the Four Daoyuan, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the army so early Fang, she should be arranged by his family..." Chen Yutong looked at Wang Baole with some doubts.
Wang Baole coughed. There was no outsider here, so he simply didn't try to hide it, and opened his mouth helplessly.
"Her name is Zhou Lu, and she didn't strip me naked, but... I kicked her in the ass. I remember that even though she was wearing tights at the time, she still looked bigger and smaller when I kicked her. It was originally a peach, but I kicked it into a gourd..."
Wang Baole's words were very vivid and picturesque. In an instant, a similar picture appeared in the minds of the three of Chen Yutong. Zhou Penghai and Sun Fang were convinced. When they looked at Wang Baole, they felt that the fat man in front of them was flirting , has reached a level beyond their reach.
Chen Yutong smiled wryly, finally patted Wang Baole's shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
"Bao Le, women are very troublesome. I advise you...don't provoke them in the future. It's really troublesome. This is also from experience. You have to learn from me in this regard."
Listening to Chen Yutong's experience, Wang Baole always felt that something was wrong, and before he thought about it, the group of them arrived at the small fortress designated by the mission in an airship.
This fortress was built on the top of a mountain. From a distance, the whole body of the fortress is black, like a huge metal semicircle, about a few hundred feet high and more than a thousand feet long. The side facing the primitive area is curved. There are more than one hundred branches scattered on it, and the end of each branch is a circular platform, and the overall shape looks like a spoon.
And on the circular platform at the end of each branch, there is a huge Vulcan cannon about ten feet high. In addition, there are many soldiers stationed on each circular platform, the number is about a thousand scale.
Some of these fighters are responsible for the simple maintenance of the Vulcan cannon, and some are responsible for killing the enemy when the beast horde arrives, preventing the beasts from rushing in and destroying the Vulcan cannon.
The reason for this design is, on the one hand, the Vulcan cannon's own needs, and on the other hand, because once the Vulcan cannon breaks down, it will form a self-destruct force, so it cannot be too close to the fortress.
At the same time, on both sides of the fortress, among the undulating mountains, you can see the existence of translucent shields, which spread along the mountains and spread towards the sides, like a huge protective layer, which prevents the rush of beasts from the primitive area, and at the same time protects the The other two fortresses in further locations are connected.
If you can stand on the highest point and look down, you can see all the small fortresses, one by one, centered on the seventh main fortress, arranged in a huge formation protective light curtain,
The task of these small fortresses, apart from resisting the invasion of beast hordes, is to counteract the formation fluctuations centered on the seventh main fort, so that no matter where the beast hordes rush from any area, the formation fluctuations caused by them will be dispersed in all the fortresses. , thus making the array more stable.
And every small fortress has naturally become a breakthrough in the eyes of fierce beasts, so these small fortresses are also equipped with Vulcan cannons. Although there are not as many as the main fortress, there are hundreds of them. , There is also a teleportation array, so that you can assist or accept friendly rescue at any time.
There are hundreds of small forts with such lethality here in the seventh main fortress, which forms the seventh gate of the federation, making this place like an iron barrel. After the end of the fierce beast war, until today, It has always stood tall and blocked the outbreak of animal hordes time and time again.
At this moment, as the airship landed in the fortress, Wang Baole and his party also integrated into the fortress after meeting the commander in charge here, a strong man with a beard.
Time flies, three days passed.
During these three days, Wang Baole had almost no time to meditate, all the time he followed Chen Yutong, checking some of the Vulcan cannons here.
There are also quite a few disciples from the Four Avenues who come to this small fortress. Although the battle cultivators account for the majority, there are alchemy cultivators, formation cultivators, and other cultivators with their own specialties.
Everyone has their own tasks. As for the soldiers who maintain the Vulcan Cannon, including Wang Baole and his party, there are more than a dozen of them. The maintenance of the Vulcan Cannon is scattered, so there are only thirty Vulcan Cannons assigned to them. respect.
Although the number is small, the Vulcan cannon is too complicated. During the three days of continuous learning and testing, Wang Baole was already shocked by the structure of the Vulcan cannon.
Each Vulcan cannon is composed of hundreds of spirit treasures, and each spirit treasure is like a part, so that once the Vulcan cannon is activated, its power is not as simple as the superposition of hundreds of spirit treasures.
It is also because of its complexity that once something goes wrong, ordinary military repairers can't handle it at all. Therefore, Wang Baole and Zhou Penghai can only be assistants, and soldiers are not qualified to repair Lingbao, so the main responsible for maintenance is Chen Yutong.
However, Wang Baole himself can already make spirit treasures, so during these three days of study, his mastery of this combination of spirit treasures has also improved rapidly. Even Chen Yutong was surprised. In the end, he simply let Wang Baole maintain it alone. This also shared a lot of the workload of their group.
This kind of busyness lasted for a week. After all the Vulcan cannons were inspected, repaired and replaced, Wang Baole and his party felt a little more relaxed.
By this time, half of their mission has been completed, and the next step is to ensure the normal operation of these Vulcan cannons during the beast tide.
So Chen Yutong spent most of his time making friends with the disciples of other Taoist schools, Zhou Penghai was also keen on this matter, and Sun Fang made friends with those officers.
Only Wang Baole here, compared to those officers, he likes the soldiers here more. During this week, he found many times that the soldiers here are mostly in the ancient martial arts realm, obviously not as good as himself, but when they looked at him, their eyes There is both envy and protection in it.
Not to be protected, but to protect Wang Baole, to be precise, to protect a monk like Wang Baole!
This kind of protection made Wang Baole's heart shake violently after seeing it many times.
He is obviously a monk, but a person in the ancient martial arts realm has to protect himself...
Because, in their view, the small number of monks is a hope, and there is nothing to lose!
And the monks who can create and repair the Vulcan cannon can't have any damage!
All this, when Wang Baole gradually realized, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He saw many fighters who were about his age, many of them had scars on their bodies, and saw their magic weapons. Many have signs of dilapidation and repairs many times.
He thought of when he was cultivating in the monastery, they... were fighting to the death with fierce beasts here.
He thought that it was these soldiers who exchanged their lives and blood for the monks to grow up and more civilians to live a more peaceful life.
So, after he was free, Wang Baole chose to contact these warriors actively, and tried his best to repair the flaws on the magic weapon for them. Gradually, because of Wang Baole's approach and character, he quickly became familiar with the warriors here. network up...
After getting acquainted, Wang Baole often forgot that he was a monk, and getting along with the soldiers became a little different.
"Come on, just now who said that I can't break my wrists, but I can't break his. Today we have a competition, and the loser will wash everyone's socks." On the square, outside a barracks with hundreds of soldiers, there was a lot of laughter and applause at this moment. As the sound came out, Wang Baole sat there, knocked down the wrist of a strong man who was smiling wryly, and spoke loudly triumphantly.
