Chapter 1018: Getting Fooled, Soliciting Customers (Part 1)
A hundred miles away from the original Tongguan City, there is a simple camp.
Everyone is busy.
Groups of soldiers were hurriedly carrying materials for casting soldiers.
Hou Baidong's eyes widened and he was out of breath.
After a while, he let out a long breath.
"You fucking—"
Hou Baidong wanted to scold people very much, but as the third deputy pavilion master of Tiangong Pavilion, he has always paid attention to his own image, and now when he scolds people, he just repeats this sentence over and over again.
After listening to the assembly line casting method taught by Zhou Shu, he wished to slap himself a few times.
What a fool I am, it's something I can master, but I pay such a high price to change it!
"Old Hou, why are you still scolding people?"
Zhou Shu put on an aggrieved look, "I did my best for you. I didn't hold back anything about the assembly line art of war. I taught you everything—"
"You taught me everything!"
Hou Baidong said angrily, the words came to his lips, but he didn't know what to say anymore.
In a sense, Zhou Shu has indeed done what they mentioned in the deal, he has indeed taught himself all the art of building a war on the assembly line without reservation.
The problem is, this assembly line casting method is not worth so much!
But this is also because of Hou Baidong's own brain cramps, giving so many things to others.
This transaction was initiated by him himself, and has nothing to do with Wu Zongquan!
"snort!"
Hou Baidong snorted coldly, "This time I think I capsized in the gutter and lost my eyes!"
"I have already sent a letter to the Patriarch of the Ge family, and he promised to support me with a batch of military casting materials. Before the military casting materials here are exhausted, the military casting materials he supports will definitely be sent to Tongguan City."
Hou Baidong said coldly.
"light and spacious!"
Zhou Shu gave a thumbs up, "If Tongguan City can be successfully forged, Laohou, you will be the first to do it. In the future, the Lord of the city will never treat you badly."
Zhou Shu smiled very happily.
Hou Baidong didn't want to see his face, so he turned his head away, "Whether it's cool or not, don't interfere with my casting!"
Hou Baidong directly issued the order to evict the guest.
Zhou Shu took advantage of it just now, and he doesn't mind Hou Baidong losing his temper. He can't make people suffer, but let people hold his breath, right, that's too inhumane.
Although Hou Baidong is a prisoner, he has found so many military materials for Tongguan City, so he has to give him the preferential treatment he deserves.
Zhou Shu walked away with a smile.
Hou Baidong was sulking for a while, and then began to sink his head into casting soldiers. Seeing him like that, he seemed to want to vent his grievances on the materials for casting soldiers.
...
"Crack——"
A spirit insect, with its mouth wide open, bit a stone with one bite, and then swallowed it in three bites.
The spirit worm blinked a pair of green eyes, the eyes were full of cunning, if it wasn't Mu Yuan, who was it?
Mu Yuan is now a spiritual insect with the strength of Tianzun, and he can barely stay in this vortex for a while.
The vortex whizzing past dragged everything into the center and was swallowed by that little flower, but only this Yuanshi mine, even though it was involved in the vortex, was still as stable as Mount Tai.
The weight of Yuanshi is astonishing, even a piece the size of a fist would be as heavy as a mountain, not to mention the entire mine.
Not to mention the power of this vortex, even false gods can't move this Yuanshi mine.
Otherwise, someone would have used the technique of moving the mountain to move the Yuanshi mine away.
Now that the Yuanshi Mine has fallen into the vortex, it can just hide people's eyes and ears, so Zhou Shu sent Mu Yuan to let it open to devour Yuanshi!
After the spirit worm swallows Yuanshi, it will process Yuanshi in its body, and what it spits out is the Yuanshi material that can be used to forge soldiers.
What Zhou Shu didn't tell Hou Baidong and Jin Kui was that in Tongguan City, he was going to forge into Yuanshi Shenbing!
Think about it, if the walls of Tongguan City are all cast from Yuanshi, who can break through Tongguan City?
Hou Baidong can be trapped to death with this heavenly net cast by Yuanshi, let alone a city wall.
Now it happens that the spirit fruit vortex is responsible, even if this Yuanshi mine disappears, it can be said to be swallowed by the spirit fruit.
Anyway, there is no proof of death, Zhou Shu refuses to admit it, and no one can do anything against him.
This Yuanshi mine should be enough to cast four walls.
"I eat, I eat, I eat again!"
Mu Yuan shouted slogans to himself, biting the stone bit by bit.
After a while, it will open its mouth and spit out a mass of dark matter, which is the primordial thing he has processed.
A dagger flew over from the side, it was the magical weapon that Zhou Shu lent to Mu Yuan, the divine weapon had its own space, and the Yuanshi that Mu Yuan had processed would be put into it.
If there were outsiders present at this time, they would be so shocked that their eyes would fall to the ground.
A spirit worm can use divine weapons!
And it's so smooth to use!
If all the army of spirit insects were like this, then human beings would be even more vulnerable in front of them!
"Hey, human beings are really amazing, they can create such things as magic weapons."
While Mu Yuan devoured Yuan Shi hard, he thought in his heart, "I am the god of spirit insects. If I have a chance in the future, I will also get some magical weapons for my disciples and grandchildren..."
Just as he was thinking, a sound of surprise sounded suddenly.
"There is actually a spirit worm here?"
A figure suddenly appeared not far away, walking towards Yuanshi Mine.
A layer of clear light lingered on the surface of the man's body, isolating him from the violent airflow of the vortex, as if strolling in a garden, he arrived in front of the Yuanshi mine in an instant.
Mu Yuan was startled, it didn't even notice that someone was coming!
This person is a formidable enemy, not an enemy with strength!
Immediately, an idea popped up in Mu Yuan's mind.
It didn't show its intelligence, it just screamed, turned into a white light, and galloped towards the Tongguan City camp.
"boom--"
Mu Yuan's speed was extremely fast, and there was a sonic boom in the vortex.
"Want to escape?"
The corner of the man's mouth that suddenly appeared in the vortex raised a mocking smile.
"Let's stay."
As soon as he raised his hand, a bright light flew out.
The bright light turned into a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye, and moved towards Mu Yuan.
"boom--"
Mu Yuan opened his mouth and spewed out a white light, the spirit insects had very few attack methods, except for spouting white light, it relied on his own mouth.
Of course Mu Yuan can't bite that circle with his mouth, and now he can only spit white light from his mouth.
With a loud bang, the circle directly shattered the white light, and slammed it down on Mu Yuan's head.
At this distance, Mu Yuan could already see clearly, it was a golden ring, above the ring, exuded a palpitating aura.
Mu Yuan knew that he must not let this ring catch him, otherwise, he might lose his own life.
At the critical moment, it didn't even think about it, and let out another scream.
"jingle—"
The inconspicuous magic short sword next to it flew in front of it, and slashed on the ring.
After a crisp sound, the ring was finally cut and flew backwards.
"Um?"
The man looked surprised, he stretched out his hand, and grabbed the ring in his hand, his eyes flickered, staring at Mu Yuan.
"You can use divine weapons? You are a spirit worm, but you can use divine weapons? What is your origin?"
The use of divine weapons by the spirit worms completely overturned this person's three views. For a while, he couldn't accept it!
Mu Yuan rolled his eyes, your father, I will explain these things to you? Go to hell, grandson!
Mu Yuan cursed in his heart, while the man was shocked, it had already turned into a white light and continued to flee towards the distance.
"Spirit insects that can use divine weapons, how can I let you escape?"
The man snorted coldly, "I still want to see where your magic weapon came from!"
As soon as he waved his hand, that circle of light radiated so much that it smashed towards Mu Yuan at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye.
At the same time, he flicked his fingers, and another sword light flew out of his hand.
That sword light directly suppressed the dagger in Mu Yuan's hand.
But at this time, that ring had already hit Mu Yuan's sanctity, and directly knocked Mu Yuan over.
Mu Yuan, a spiritual insect in the realm of Tianzun, is so vulnerable to this person!
Of course, this is also because Mu Yuan doesn't want to fight this person, he just wants to escape, and then let Zhou Shu deal with this person.
It's Muyuan, so it doesn't want to fight people desperately.
However, the strength of the person who came here is already very clear, at least he has the strength of Tianzun, and may even be higher.
Mu Yuan murmured in his heart, no wonder Zhou Shu asked him to swallow that mountain with the fastest speed. Sure enough, the movement here will attract all kinds of people, and once they come, they will be strong!
Mu Yuan thought in his heart, speeding up a bit again.
It would rather endure the opponent's attack than dare to stop.
The man frowned, he didn't expect this spirit worm to be so rough and thick.
"go!"
The man waved his sword finger, and the ring fell towards Mu Yuan again.
Seeing that the ring was about to trap Mu Yuan, suddenly, a white light flashed.
With a crisp sound, the ring spun back to the man's hand.
Then, he saw a figure appearing in front of Mu Yuan, which just cut off his sight.
With such a delay, Mu Yuan's figure has been submerged in the vortex, and he can no longer be seen.
A look of anger flashed across the man's face.
"Who are you, why did you stop me from capturing the spirit insects?"
The man said angrily.
"Spirit insects? Where are the spirit insects?"
Zhan said lightly. He looked at the man and said, "If you want to kill the spirit insects, I can show you a clear path. Walk one hundred and eighty miles in this direction, and you will find the spirit insect lairs. Do you want to kill the spirit insects?" Find as many spirit insects as there are spirit insects there."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't come here to kill spirit insects!
Besides, can an ordinary spirit insect compare with a spirit insect that knows how to use magic weapons?
But he is not a fool, he can naturally see that Zhan is protecting that spirit worm!
"Are you from Tongguan City? Unexpectedly, there are talents like you in such a small Tongguan City. That spirit insect was domesticated by you, right?"
The man said coldly.
"Why can't I understand what your Excellency said?"
The battle outfit became confused, and the old fox couldn't see any flaws at all.
For a moment, the man doubted whether his suspicion was wrong.
"Your Excellency should have come here for the spirit fruit, right?"
Zhan continued, "This is where our Tongguan City is located. Your Excellency came from a long way. Originally, Tongguan City should show some friendship as a landlord, but Tongguan City has been destroyed, so there is no way but to neglect the distinguished guests."
Zhan said to himself, not taking that man seriously at all.
The man frowned, "What are you trying to say?"
"Your Excellency came here for the spiritual fruit, but right now, the spiritual fruit is not yet mature, and you must wait nearby. We have launched a service in Tongguan City that can provide you with food, lodging and supplies of magic weapons..."
With a smile on Zhan's face, he spoke.
The man was taken aback, this turning point was really beyond his expectation.
He was already ready for the big battle, but you told me this?
Does Tongguan City provide board and lodging and supplies for magic soldiers?
Are you kidding me?
He frowned and looked at Zhan.
"Your Excellency is not the first, nor will you be the last, for such a major event as the birth of the spirit fruit. Think about it, before the spirit fruit matures, you don't need to live here. As long as you live in our Tongguan City, all of these are nothing. Problem."
Zhan continued.
"What happened to that spirit worm just now?"
The man narrowed his eyes, stared at Zhan, and asked in a deep voice.
What kind of board and lodging and magic weapon supplies are a mess!
Now he only cares about the spirit worm that can only use divine weapons!
Spirit insects can use divine weapons, this is definitely something that will affect the general situation of the world!
"There are no spirit insects, is your eyes dazzled?"
Zhan insisted that there were no spirit worms, "This vortex has the effect of charming the mind. You may have been in it for a long time, so you have an illusion!"
Zhan is serious, with a serious expression.
The man frowned, it couldn't be his own illusion, the dagger that the spirit worm just used is still there.
He turned his head to look, his eyes widened suddenly.
Where is the sword?
What about the sword just now?
The sword is gone!
Could it be that it was really my own illusion?
It shouldn't be, with my Heavenly Venerable strength, even if there is something weird about this vortex, I shouldn't be affected unknowingly.
"Who the hell are you?"
The man looked at Zhan suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice.
"Me? I'm just an insignificant general in Tongguan City."
Zhan smiled slightly, and said, "I see that your Excellency has had a hard time coming all the way, why don't you go to our Tongguan City to rest for a while, how about?"
"The Lord of Tongguan City, but Ge Changlong?"
The man was silent for a moment, he looked around, and the fog blocked him, so he couldn't see too far.
"City Lord Ge has abdicated to give way to the virtuous. The current City Lord of Xintongguan City is the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion. His surname is Wu, and his name is Zongquan."
Zhan took the opportunity to call out the name of the disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
It is to let these people have this impression that Xintongguan City has nothing to do with false gods, but has an inseparable relationship with Tiangong Pavilion!
"A personal disciple of the master of the Tiangong Pavilion?"
The man's pupils constricted and he exclaimed.
"So you should rest assured, I do business in Tongguan City, and I will definitely be innocent, and I will never insult the reputation of Tiangong Pavilion."
Zhan said with a smile.
The dignified leader of the thirty-six generals in the ancient heavenly court is now like a small peddler selling goods.
"Tiangong Pavilion, are you also planning to intervene in the spiritual fruit matter?"
The man asked in a deep voice, the shock he received from this news surpassed that of spirit worms who could use divine weapons.
"No and no."
Zhan quickly denied, "The matter of the spiritual fruit has nothing to do with our Xintongguan City. We only provide food and lodging for strong people like Your Excellency who came for the spiritual fruit. By the way, we also sell a few magic weapons to subsidize the family."
"Your Excellency, you can regard our Xintongguan City as an inn, a business house. As for how you snatch the spiritual fruit, then our Xintongguan City has no control over it."
The man frowned and pondered for a while, finally accepted Zhan's words.
"I see."
He nodded and said, "Where is the Xintongguan City you mentioned? I really want to see the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion."
"Please follow me."
The smile on Zhan's face was very sincere, he turned around and made a gesture of invitation, leading the way.
The man was also very confident, and followed after he took a step.
As for the matter of spirit insects, he had temporarily forgotten about them.
Not long after the man and Zhan left, the shadow of a spirit worm appeared under the Yuanshi Mine surreptitiously.
"Damn it, I get beaten every so often. What's wrong with me being a spirit worm? Should a spirit worm be beaten?"
Mu Yuan murmured in his heart, "No, I have to raise the price later! Let me dig mines, and I will be beaten. If I don't increase the money, I will go on strike!"
Mu Yuan bit hard on the Yuanshi ore.
...
"Another Tianzun strongman came?"
In the temporary camp in Tongguan City, Zhou Shu had already received the news.
He rubbed the space between his brows, these people came faster than he expected.
Now the new Tongguan City is still in the process of urgent casting, even if he, Hou Baidong, and Jin Kui have been working day and night, it will take several months to successfully cast Tongguan City.
Fortunately, the temporary camp in Tongguan City also raced against time to build some barracks, otherwise, there was really no way to entertain these people.
"City Master, the new one insists on seeing you."
Xue Liang, the chief steward of the camp, said in a low voice, "He said he wouldn't stay with us if he didn't see you..."
"oh?"
Zhou Shu frowned slightly, "Have you checked out the identity of the newcomer?"
"Checking."
Xue Liang said, "However, the few people who came before him seem to be very afraid of him. This person's identity should be extraordinary."
"Is that so?"
Zhou Shu frowned.
"Yes, and the general said that this person seems to have many magic weapons on him, and he is likely to be a descendant of an aristocratic family."
"What does he want to see me for?"
Zhou Shu asked, no matter how many magic weapons there are, can he have as many as him?
"Then I don't know. He said that you must see the city lord before you are willing to speak."
Xue Liang whispered, "And he threatened us, saying that if we lie, he will flatten our Tongguan City."
"lie?"
"He doesn't believe that you, the city lord, are the direct disciple of the master of the Tiangong Pavilion."
Xue Liang hesitated for a moment, but said in a low voice.
"Really? Whether he believes it or not, what does it matter to me?"
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, "Go and tell him, if you can't live with love, get away and don't approach Tongguan City, otherwise Tongguan City will regard him as an enemy!"
