Text Chapter 348 Refining Stardust

In 7734 of the Imperial Calendar, on August 2, the food in Winterfrost City ran out, and horses were killed for food.

According to Min Yulin's order, the horses of the ordinary cavalry were killed first, followed by the corporal commander, the chief commander, the centurion commander, and the thousand commander. At the same time, the demons sent the plague into Winterfrost City with arrows. It was enough to kill nearly 20,000 imperial soldiers and nearly 50,000 civilians. It was summer, and the stench of corpses in Dongshuang City was overwhelming.

Since then, no one dared to look down on the wisdom of these demons, and everyone believed that those high-level demons were not fools.

...

At night, when the stars were dim, Lin Muyu rode his horse and walked slowly on the streets of Winterfrost City. All he could see were starved corpses, and many houses were closed, but there was a disgusting noise coming from inside. The stench is probably caused by a family starving to death inside. Originally, Lin Muyu thought that the Yangwei Army's arrival in Lingdong Province would bring about the restoration of the empire, but he didn't expect that it would only bring death. However, even if the Yangwei Army didn't come, it would be the same here Will be in a desperate situation, because the demons will come after all.

"Deacon, there is a corpse over there." Shen Han said.

"Stuff your mouth and nose with a cloth, dig a hole and bury it on the spot."

"yes."

This is Lin Muyu's work these days, leading the Temple Battalion to bury corpses everywhere, and after a plague, the Temple Battalion has shrunk from nearly 300 people to about 150 people, and people die every day, it seems Everyone is also used to it. From the discomfort when seeing the corpse at the beginning to the indifference now, this is the change under the baptism of war. At this moment, they are no longer the high-ranking cultivators in the temple, but just an empire. soldier.

"Is there still no news from the imperial capital?" Lin Muyu asked.

"No."

Qin Yan shook his head, and said with a lonely face: "Brother, you have also seen the winged men in the demon clan, I guess, most of the letter birds we released were intercepted and killed by these winged men in the air, otherwise what It is said that the imperial capital will also send one or two feather books to Winterfrost City."

"Um."

Lin Muyu thought about it carefully, Qin Yan was right, no one knew when the demons formed a siege on Winterfrost City, and their Wingmen must have blocked the air long ago, so Winterfrost City couldn't issue the Feather Book at all. , and could not receive the feather book, this place was completely blocked, perhaps in the eyes of the demons, this mighty army was like a rabbit kept in a cage, ready to be slaughtered and cooked at any time.

Qin Yan continued: "Originally there were not many war horses left in the army, no more than 3,000 horses, and nearly half of them were infected with the plague and could not be eaten. There were only 1,500 horses left, which was not enough for 30,000 people. Eating a horse is enough for a few days, and I'm afraid I'll have to fast again for three days at most..."

Lin Muyu was silent, and after a while, he asked, "Have you ordered the slaughter of the war horses of our temple battalion?"

"Yes, the order arrived this morning. Junhou said that besides you and me, there are Lord Shen Han's horses. The rest of the horses will be handed over to Major General Min Zhan tomorrow morning for slaughter and distribution."

Lin Muyu was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to caress the horse under his crotch. This horse was chosen for him by Qin Yin from the stable of Zetian Temple, but in a few days, he might not even be able to keep this horse.

In the middle of the night, when I returned to the barracks, the people from the Linghuo Division brought the broth, which was freshly boiled horse broth.

Lin Muyu got a big bowl, and he could eat a full meal. At this time, he didn't dare to wake up Chi Jinglong. The little guy has a big appetite, and he can eat a horse in one meal. If you are determined not to be able to support it, let it continue to sleep in a different space.

After starving for so many days, I suddenly ate meat. This feeling was very strange. Lin Muyu chewed the horse meat, but couldn't taste it, as if he had a feeling of drinking poison to quench his thirst.

After he was full, he sat in the barracks and practiced the art of stars, but he was still unable to break through the third heaven of the art of stars, which made him very distressed.

In the middle of the night, there was a loud "boom" in the north.

"What's wrong."

Lin Muyu stepped out of the barracks in a hurry, and Qin Yan came over with a spear in hand: "I don't know, it seems that something happened to the North City Gate."

"No way,."

Lin Muyu's heart sank, and he said, "Follow me immediately."

"Um."

The two rode away side by side, and the rest of the soldiers could only walk on foot, because the horses had already been killed and eaten, and the northern city wall was full of flames. When Lin Muyu arrived, he saw a big hole in the city wall. There was a blaze, and a group of soldiers gathered around a huge fire pit to watch, and there was a meteorite there.

"Heaven will have an evil star, there must be a catastrophe." A veteran said tremblingly.

"Don't scare me."

Lin Muyu walked over, frowned and said: "It's just a meteorite, what kind of bullshit and evil star, if you talk and confuse the public, I will chop it off immediately."

The old soldier hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly, "My lord, please forgive me, I will never dare again, my lord."

Lin Muyu couldn't bear it, stepped forward to help him up, and explained: "There are some small pieces of stars flying in the universe, called meteorites, this is a natural phenomenon, not some evil star."

The veteran didn't understand, he just nodded: "My lord is wise..."

Lin Muyu looked at a flaming meteorite, about the size of a millstone, but its power was astonishing. It created a big hole with a radius of five meters in the city wall, and the outside of the city could be seen from inside the city.

"Hurry up and repair the city wall, it must be repaired before dawn tomorrow, otherwise the demons will get news soon." Lin Muyu ordered.

On the side, a commander immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Major General."

This person is from Qihai City, and he looks familiar. He probably passed through Zhenyao Pass with him. The specific person has long been forgotten. After all, Lin Muyu is also a person with face blindness.

After waiting for a while, after the temperature on the meteorite dissipated, Lin Muyu took out the Dragon Spirit Sword, pierced the meteorite suddenly, and carried it back to the camp. This is his trophy for tonight.

And God seems to know what he needs. The third level of the star art requires direct dialogue with the stars. Only after refining the stardust can he comprehend the profound power of the third level.

Lin Muyu needs strength too much. He needs the power of Star Jue to lead everyone out of this dead city. When he thinks of the demon army marshal named "Lei Chong", Lin Muyu can't help but tremble a little. Lei Chong's strength It was too strong, even if he joined forces with Du Hai, he would not be an opponent at all. Such a terrifying opponent could motivate Lin Muyu to become stronger.

...

Returning to the camp, he took out the refining vessel and began to refine the stardust.

The meteorite the size of a millstone was slowly turned over in the refining cauldron, and was continuously burned and refined by the star flames. This process was relatively long. After nearly three hours of burning, the meteorite was already fiery red, and the stardust on the surface turned into Rays of starlight lingered in the refining cauldron, completely vaporized, and the star power hidden in the stardust also turned into streaks of azure blue, fiery red, and emerald green lights flying in the refining vessel, In the end, they entered Lin Muyu's body one by one.

However, the physique with the star art seems to be very greedy, and is not satisfied with this small amount of star power.

In the blink of an eye, in five days, Lin Muyu also refined stardust for five full days. When this meteorite was refined from the size of a millstone to the size of a teacup, the star power in the sea of ​​​​consciousness finally reached a full level.

"Is it okay?"

Lin Muyu put away the refining treasure tripod, his face was full of sweat, and when he slowly exerted force on his arm, the light of stardust immediately diffused around his arm, and slowly gathered in his palm, forming a piece of stardust energy in the shape of a mountain. The strength is far from the strength of the rocks in the Broken Cauldron Realm. Lin Muyu sent his arm lightly, and the star rock in his palm protruded rapidly, piercing the air like a sharp knife.

It's a pity that there are no stones, etc. that can be used for experiments in the barracks.

However, Lin Muyu could still feel the tyranny of this style. Among the martial arts of Star Jue, this style is called "Five Sacred Mountains Falling from Heaven". It combines rocks, soil, and refined iron to create a critical blow.

With a light wave of the palm, the power of the Star Jue was dissipated, and the rocks naturally turned into starbursts and penetrated into the body out of thin air. At this time, Lin Muyu felt a very comfortable feeling, full of power in the body, and It has reached a level that has never been stronger than before, and with the process of practicing the Star Jue, Lin Muyu's own strength is also slowly improving, and now it should have reached the peak state of the third heaven, and the distance from the breakthrough to the holy Domain is just around the corner.

At this moment, Qin Yan's voice came from outside: "Brother, the situation is not very good."

"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu asked.

"People from Qihai City are making trouble in Beicheng Square."

"make trouble."

Lin Muyu frowned, put on the armor, grabbed the Dragon Spirit Sword, and said, "Follow me to have a look."

"yes."

...

When they came to the North Square, they saw a large group of Qihai City soldiers sitting powerlessly on the ground, and a few other commanders standing on the wooden frame repairing the city wall, their faces were flushed and they shouted passionately: "Brother Ladies and gentlemen, our soldiers in the Seven Seas Province are also imperial soldiers. Why don’t they give us food? We are full, but our soldiers in Qihai City are hungry."

A group of soldiers responded one after another.

At this moment, Min Zhan came with a group of cavalry cavalrymen on horseback, his eyes turned cold, and he said loudly: "What are you shouting, what are you talking about? Why do our Tiancavalry eat so much? You are blind!" Did you see your dog's eyes, the Tianqijun eats exactly the same food as you every day, and we didn't eat more than one bite."

"fart."

A commander of Qihai City pointed out his hand and said, "Look, you still have so many horses in the Tianqi Army, at least 30 horses, why don't you kill them and give them to us to eat?"

"you."

Min Zhan's face was ashen, and he shouted loudly: "Wang Xi, why don't you restrain your subordinates."

Wang Xi was the commander of Qihai City's army, so he naturally understood the pros and cons. He frowned and said, "Young General, we are just soldiers fighting a war. If we don't have enough to eat, how can we fight?"

"You think we can have enough to eat." Min Zhan looked angry,
