Chapter 1005 An Unwilling Spirit Insect (Second)

Hou Baidong's mood was very complicated.

From the time he was trapped by the magic sky net to the time he found that he could not break through the magic sky net with his own strength, Hou Baidong had actually decided to accept his fate.

He has never been such a fierce person, and he knows better than anyone the truth that people have to bow their heads under the roof.

To be able to become the third deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion, he is a person who can bend and stretch.

That's why he bowed his head to Zhou Shu.

When he chose to bow his head, he had already thought about his end.

Speaking of which, he has already prepared himself mentally. In the past three years in Tongguan City, he will not have any accidents even if he is used as a cow for Zhou Shu.

But no matter what, he never imagined that even though he had become a prisoner, he would still have the opportunity to learn the art of casting soldiers that he had never imagined before!

He did not hesitate to murder the Pavilion Master for the secret art of casting soldiers passed down by the Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion, but he did not expect that others would casually teach him something that he valued so much.

This kind of frustration that arises spontaneously from the bottom of his heart makes Hou Baidong feel that his previous self was so ridiculous.

I tried my best to become the owner of the Tiangong Pavilion, and I wanted to learn the secret art of casting soldiers from the owner of the Tiangong Pavilion. It turned out that it was just something that others looked down on.

Thinking of the method of casting the tiger wing armor that Zhou Shu taught him just now, a wry smile appeared on his face.

That's right, he is a real dragon in the sky, and he is just a loach on the ground. There is nothing comparable, so why should he care about whether he can learn three points of his skills?

Before he knew it, Hou Baidong's psychology had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Maybe he didn't even realize that the hostility towards Zhou Shu in his heart has gradually disappeared, replaced by awe!

That's right, he is now in awe of Zhou Shu.

Not only in awe of Zhou Shu's art of casting soldiers, but also in awe of Zhou Shu's behavior.

Thinking about it in his own shoes, Hou Baidong felt that even if he stood in Zhou Shu's position, he would never be able to do such a thing as publicizing the art of casting soldiers.

He doesn't have this kind of courage.

"I have indeed mastered the casting method of this tiger wing armor, but if this method is to be popularized, the requirements for the casting master are too high."

Hou Baidong smiled wryly and turned his mind back to casting soldiers.

Zhou Shu did teach him the method of casting the tiger wing armor without reservation, but Hou Baidong also discovered that this method is not suitable for all magic weapons.

Dismantling a magical weapon into small parts is not an easy task in itself.

In other words, even if he has learned how to forge tiger-wing armor, Hou Baidong can only teach people to forge tiger-wing armor at present, and there is no way to use this method of decomposition and casting on other magical weapons.

With his mastery of Hou Baidong's soldier-casting technique, it is difficult to apply this method of decomposition and casting to other divine soldiers, let alone other soldier-casting masters.

Speaking of which, the threshold for breaking down the Art of Warcasting is really too high.

Of course, for soldier casting apprentices, they don't need to master these principles, they only need to learn to cast one kind of parts, there is no difficulty at all.

"amazing!"

The more Hou Baidong delved into it, the more he admired it. He really couldn't imagine how Zhou Shu dismantled a tiger wing armor into tens of thousands of parts, and ensured that they could be combined to become a magical weapon.

What needs to be deduced here is something that Hou Baidong thinks about.

"He doesn't have to care about the art of casting soldiers like this, so I don't know how many art of casting soldiers he has mastered."

Hou Baidong suddenly felt hot in his heart.

It is true that he admires the power of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and his love for the art of casting soldiers is also true.

"I didn't expect that being a prisoner was actually an opportunity for me."

Hou Baidong muttered to himself, with a thoughtful look on his face.

...

Jin Kui looked at Zhou Shu, hesitant to speak.

"Old Jin, we can be regarded as comrades in arms fighting side by side. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhou Shu noticed Jin Kui's expression and said with a smile.

"Brother Zong Quan, why did you teach Hou Baidong the method of dismantling and casting soldiers?"

Jin Kui couldn't help but said, "I know you have a big heart, but that guy Hou Baidong is not a good person. He has learned your art of casting soldiers, and he will probably fight against you."

Jin Kui was actually a little worried. Although Hou Baidong's character was not very good, his talent for casting soldiers was undeniable.

If he also joined Brother Zongquan, then he would be his competitor.

After the Zong Quan brothers ascended to the position of the master of the Tiangong Pavilion, will the position of the first deputy master be taken by himself or by Hou Baidong?

"You think I'm afraid of him?"

Zhou Shu smiled indifferently, "Okay, Lao Jin, don't worry about it, I'm just using him, after all, I have too few soldiers at my disposal, Lao Jin, you are my own, I know that .”

Hearing Zhou Shu's words, Jin Kui was overjoyed, and said, "Brother Zong Quan, if you really want to use the Armor Master, I'm in Tiangong Pavilion, and I have some direct descendants. How about I summon them all?" come over?"

Zhou Shu's heart moved, but he still shook his head and said, "No, I can't rely on the strength of Tiangong Pavilion to develop Tongguan City, but only myself. This is a trial, you know."

Jin Kui suddenly realized that it was so.

"I see."

Jin Kui said, "But it doesn't matter. We are already very efficient at casting magical weapons. If we use full firepower, we can forge thousands of tiger-winged knives a month. It's no problem."

Jin Kui has been in charge of the assembly line of the army casting method. Those soldier casting apprentices cooperated with Jin Kui to cast 90% of the tiger wing knives in Tongguan City.

As for the remaining 10%, it was cast by Zhou Shu himself.

In Jin Kui's view, such a speed of casting soldiers is already very good, and there is no need to worry about not being able to expand Tongguan City.

How many cities can have so many magic soldiers in this world?

Zhou Shu smiled slightly in his heart, and Jin Kui's reaction was expected.

Although from the beginning to the end, Zhou Shu never admitted that he was a direct disciple of the master of the Tiangong Pavilion, but his every move, including every word and deed, was secretly misleading Jin Kui and Ge Changlong.

As a result, the two of them firmly believed in Zhou Shu's identity.

No matter what Zhou Shu does, as long as they give them a little hint, they will help Zhou Shu think through the reasons.

This saved Zhou Shu a lot of trouble.

Before Tongguan City is completely under his control, Ge Changlong and Jin Kui still have an important role to play. Zhou Shu does not hope that the two of them will become his resistance.

"In the future, you will continue to be in charge of the casting of the Tiger Wing Saber, and I will let Hou Baidong be in charge of the casting of the Tiger Wing Armor."

Zhou Shu said, "If he stays in Tongguan City, he can't eat in vain, don't you think so?"

Jin Kui nodded, "Everything is up to Brother Zong Quan."

"Old Jin, I have a question."

Zhou Shu pondered and said.

"Brother Zong Quan, tell me."

"The two deputy pavilion masters of Tiangong Pavilion have lost news, Tiangong Pavilion, won't they look for you?"

Zhou Shu looked at Jin Kui and said.

He is deliberately cutting off the connection between Tongguan City and the outside world. This sentence is also a test.

Perhaps no one knew about Hou Baidong's visit to Tongguan City, but Jin Kui came here in the open and aboveboard.

He never went back after he came to Tongguan City, which might attract the attention of other people in Tiangong Pavilion.

"It's not considered lost contact."

Jin Kui said with a smile, "It's normal for us soldiers casting masters to go out to find materials for casting soldiers, retreat to forge magical weapons, and not return to the pavilion for ten or eight years. Generally speaking, there will be a deputy cabinet in the pavilion." The lord sits in the town and is responsible for handling daily affairs. Usually, our eight deputy cabinet masters come in rotation, but now the fifth deputy cabinet master is on duty, and within ten years, he will stay in the cabinet."

Jin Kui explained that he thought that Zhou Shu wanted to understand the operation mechanism of Tiangong Pavilion, and he didn't think too much about other aspects.

"Understood."

Zhou Shu nodded, and was about to say something, when his heart suddenly moved.

Then he saw a white light, shooting towards him, and it turned into a spirit insect when it was a foot away from him.

It was Mu Yuan who came.

Mu Yuan rolled his eyes and glanced at Jin Kui.

It's not the first time Jin Kui has seen the spirit insect controlled by Zhou Shu, but every time he sees it, he is shocked by Mu Yuan's humanity.

With just this one look, Jin Kui already understood its meaning, and no one else avoided it.

He, Jin Kui, has become an irrelevant person?

After giving Mu Yuan a supercilious look, Jin Kui still said, "Brother Zong Quan, then I'll go to Zhubing first. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime."

After finishing speaking, Jin Kui turned and left, and even closed the courtyard door behind him.

After Jin Kui left, Zhou Shu looked at Mu Yuan.

"Mu Yuan, you can't speak, it's a bit late, you spirit insects, is it possible for you to learn to speak?"

Zhou Shu muttered.

There was a trace of helplessness in Mu Yuan's eyes, and he quickly wrote on the ground, "Impossible, since ancient times, there has never been a spirit insect that can speak human language."

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a spirit worm with your IQ. No matter how you say it, you are the smartest spirit worm in history. You can even learn to write, why can't you learn to speak?"

Zhou Shu said.

Mu Yuan looked helpless, how did it know?

With its cultivation strength, it is reasonable to say that it can completely control the muscles of the whole body, and it is easy to make a sound, but for some reason, it just can't make a human speech.

This may be the limitation of the law.

"How many Yuanshi did you do this time?"

Whether to speak or not, Zhou Shu just complained casually and didn't take it seriously. He looked at Mu Yuan and asked.

A flash of complacency flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes, and he opened his mouth to spit out.

A black light flashed, and a black lacquered object the size of an adult's head fell in front of Zhou Shu.

Yuan Shi!

After being swallowed by Mu Yuan, Yuan Shi spit it out again!

This kind of primordial origin can be directly used to cast soldiers, and the magical sky net that traps Hou Baidong is made of this kind of primordial origin.

If it wasn't for Yuanshi treated in this way, the flames wouldn't be able to smelt it at all, and naturally it wouldn't be able to be used to cast soldiers.

It's actually a bit disgusting to say, this Yuan Shi, after all, was swallowed by Mu Yuan and then spit out.

But Zhou Shu didn't look disgusted at all, on the contrary, he was full of excitement.

Before using Yuanshi to cast the magic weapon Skynet, it was just a small test.

Zhou Shu was extremely satisfied with the result of this small test.

Who is Hou Baidong? The majestic and powerful Tianzun is the third vice-master of the Tiangong Pavilion. In his hand, he even has a thunder hammer, the magic weapon of a false god.

Ordinary Tianzun powerhouses will only end in defeat when they meet Hou Baidong.

But after he was covered by the Divine Weapon Skynet, he was unable to break the Divine Weapon Skynet.

This magic weapon, Skynet, is not the most powerful magic weapon that Zhou Shu has ever forged, but it is definitely the strongest magic weapon that Zhou Shu has ever forged!

And all of this is because of the casting materials used to cast the magic weapon Skynet.

This is the origin of Tongguan City!

After becoming the lord of Tongguan City, Zhou Shu sent Mu Yuan to secretly go to the Yuanshi Mine.

With Ge Changlong and Jin Kui around, Zhou Shu couldn't use Yuanshi openly.

But it doesn't prevent him from letting Mu Yuan steal some back.

With such a large piece of Yuanshi, it is enough for Zhou Shu to forge three or five magic weapons.

The magic weapon cast by Yuanshi is sacred and exclusive. At most, some false gods will get divine rewards and thus have such a piece.

Ordinary people can't even imagine owning a magical weapon made by Yuan Shi.

If Sheng Sheng knew that Zhou Shu was greedy for such a huge piece of Yuan Shi, he would definitely not let Zhou Shu go.

Of course, Zhou Shu didn't care about those so-called sacredness at all.

Not to mention this piece of Yuanshi, even the Yuanshi mine outside Tongguan City, Zhou Shu already regarded it as something in his pocket.

With such a Yuanshi mine, Zhou Shu is sure that everyone in his own hands can have a magic weapon made by Yuanshi.

Turn around and bring Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, and Sun Gongping over. The magic soldiers in their hands may not be able to keep up with their strength.

The magic weapon cast by Yuan Shi is the real good magic weapon, and it will never lag behind in strength.

"The spirit insect group is ready to move, and may launch an attack on Tongguan City at any time. I can no longer influence them."

Just as Zhou Shu was thinking, he saw Mu Yuan writing quickly on the ground.

"Huh? You can't influence them anymore? They don't care about your life?"

Zhou Shu frowned.

"Spiritual insects don't have much spiritual intelligence. If I still stay there, they may slowly develop spiritual intelligence under my influence, but now, without me, they will only become insects relying on instinct."

Mu Yuanshu wrote that even the handwriting was full of complacency.

"I can't see that you are still so important."

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't you agree when I let you go back to control the spirit insect group? According to what you said, the spirit insect group should regard you as the king."

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes.

It's just bragging. Well, among the spirit insect group, only the female insect is the king.

In fact, it has already mutated and has spiritual intelligence. When looking at the spirit insect again, it is already difficult to regard the spirit insect as its own kind.

On the contrary, being by Zhou Shu's side, being able to communicate with Zhou Shu made him feel his own existence more clearly.

Among the spirit insect group, even those descendants born from it, at most have a little spiritual intelligence, and cannot communicate with it at all.

Spirit worms are just worms, but Mu Yuan is the worm god!

It's just that it, the insect god, has little influence on the spirit insect group.

Zhou Shu also knows that Mu Yuan is very humane, but his personality is not well developed, and he doesn't know who he learned the bragging skills from.

"When will the spirit insect group launch an attack?"

Zhou Shu asked.

"That's impossible to say."

Mu Yuan's movements were like electricity, and handwriting appeared on the ground one by one.

"I reckon that within half a year at the most, their numbers will reach the limit. At that time, if they don't attack Tongguan City, their resources will not be able to support so many spirit insects. At that time, they will definitely attack Tongguan City. Everything here is eaten."

Mu Yuan didn't regard himself as a bug. One of the advantages is that when he betrayed the spirit insect group, he didn't have any psychological burden.

To put it bluntly, it felt that it had already escaped, and no matter how many spirit insects died, it had nothing to do with it.

"At most half a year?"

Zhou Shu frowned slightly, half a year, whether it is long or not, is not short.

He has just taken over Tongguan City now, half a year is still a bit short.

"Mu Yuan, if I ask you to take someone to the nest of spirit insects to attack and kill spirit insects, would you be willing?"

Zhou Shu suddenly said.

In half a year, Tongguan City might not be enough to deal with the plague of spirit insects.

The current plan is to delay the outbreak of the plague of spirit insects as much as possible.

The best way is to kill a batch of spirit insects at that time. As long as their number does not reach a certain level, the disaster of spirit insects will not be able to break out.

"Me? I can't."

Mu Yuan shook his head resolutely, and wrote on the ground, "They are all my brothers and sisters, close relatives of flesh and blood!"

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. When you just betrayed the news about the spirit insect group, you didn't realize that they are all your brothers and close relatives.

You didn't treat yourself as a spirit worm. Tell me this now, isn't it nonsense?

"Forget it, go ahead and chew on rocks."

Zhou Shu waved his hand and said.

"do not."

Mu Yuan's body was swimming, and the writing said, "Talk, let's talk again."

"I'm not asking for the price, shouldn't you pay back the money on the spot?"

"You don't have to ask me, what do I have to do to be willing to go?"

Muyuan's writing speed is very fast, almost comparable to the speed of ordinary people's speaking.

The corner of Zhou Shu's mouth raised slightly, "Okay, then what do you want, so that you are willing to take someone to the spirit insect lair to attack and kill the spirit insects?"

"I want benefits!"

Mu Yuan seemed to be a little excited and wrote, "Give me a favor, and I'll go!"

"What benefits do you want?"

Zhou Shu said helplessly, a spirit worm has learned to negotiate conditions, but he doesn't mind talking to Mu Yuan.

After all, if there is Mu Yuan, the traitor, it should be easier to kill the spirit insects.

"I want to learn the art of casting soldiers!"

Mu Yuan quickly wrote that his eyes were shining with excitement, and he finally found a chance!

"You? Learn the art of casting soldiers?"

Zhou Shu looked at Mu Yuan and said.

"Yeah, don't look at me without hands, but I can write and learn the art of casting soldiers, what's wrong?"

Mu Yuan wrote it as a matter of course.

"You are a spirit insect, what are you doing learning the art of casting soldiers?"

Zhou Shu shook his head and said.

"It's true that I'm a spirit worm, but I've already developed my spiritual wisdom. In the future, I will be a worm god. You can't treat me and those spirit worms as a species!"

Mu Yuan wrote.
