Chapter 265 Scarecrow, the New Craftsman

Just a while ago, Lu Jun, the old man wearing coarse linen clothes in the farmland, suddenly had an inspiration. Based on the rune array, rune machine, and sowing beans to form an army, he thought of found a solution.

The method he came up with was to directly refine the scarecrow into a puppet with certain autonomous behaviors.

As long as the energy is not completely exhausted, it will patrol the farmland tirelessly and year-round within the planned range.

After taking another deep look at the scarecrow in front of him, Lu Jun turned around and left, entering a house in the distance.

Picking up the telescope on the table, Lu Jun looked at the scarecrow in the distance and waited quietly.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour

An hour later, a burst of chirping birds suddenly came from the distance, and a group of sparrows nearly the size of two fists flew close quickly.

After arriving over the farmland, it hovered slightly.

After seeing that there was no one below, he quickly swooped down, completely ignoring the scarecrow below.

There were even sparrows that swooped down on the scarecrows, seemingly trying to destroy them.

However, the moment these sparrows fell into the farmland, the scarecrow's head, which was tied with straw, suddenly stiffened and raised its head to look at the flying sparrows.

"Chirp"

At this moment, the sparrow seemed to be greatly frightened, and it screamed in panic, then flapped its wings and turned around.

But, where is the time now?

"Food thief, kill the food thief!"

A mechanical sound spread, and the straw on the scarecrow's body suddenly stabbed out quickly, like iron wires, instantly penetrating the sparrow's body.

"Gu Gu."

In a moment, the sparrow's energy and energy were swallowed up, and it turned into a mummy and fell to the ground. The scarecrow's power lost due to the attack was not only replenished, but even slightly increased.

Immediately afterwards, the scarecrow looked at the other sparrows that had fallen into the farmland. The eyes made of buttons flashed a red light and instantly locked onto their locations.

"Shu~!"

The scarecrow's figure moved, using the Tumu Escape Technique, and instantly arrived in front of a group of nearby sparrows. When they flew up in fright, countless straws were pierced out.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Gu Gu."

In just an instant, the countless pierced straws penetrated the bodies of many sparrows, devouring their energy and spirit, replenishing their own consumption and enhancing their own strength.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun, who had been observing with a telescope, couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Sure enough he succeeded.

Following the scarecrow's killing sparrows, the fallen sparrows began to fly up in fright and hover over the wheat fields.

When the sparrow moves away from a certain distance, the scarecrow loses its target lock and stops at the place where it was last killed.

And the aura exuding from his body is already about 10% stronger than at the beginning.

Looking at the stationary scarecrow below, the sparrows that had given birth to a lot of spirituality flew around the scarecrow for several times before finally fluttering their wings and flying into the distance.

"hehe."

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun walked out of the wooden house with a smile and walked towards the scarecrow.

And when he came to the scarecrow, the scarecrow turned around slowly and stared at Lu Jun with two button eyes.

However, it had no intention of attacking.

This is also a matter of course. The scarecrow was originally built by Lu Jun and naturally has the corresponding control core.

Looking at the scarecrow in front of him, Lu Jun was satisfied but also frowned slightly.

Because the straw on the scarecrow's body began to be partially dyed blood red, exuding a strange and ominous aura.

Obviously, this is caused by its killing and devouring sparrows.

After pondering slightly, Lu Jun decided to maintain the status quo for the time being and see what changes would happen to the scarecrow in the end.

If he wants to use a scarecrow to drive away the birds and beasts in the farmland, he naturally has to grasp all its changes.

For a while, the scarecrow stood quietly in the farmland, killing and devouring the birds and beasts that entered the farmland, and even nearby insects, it would not let go.

As time goes by, the blood color on the scarecrow becomes more and more vivid, and there are more and more places where the blood is blurred.

At the end, the scarecrow had completely turned into blood, exuding a strange and ominous aura that made people feel fearful just looking at it.

The strength has even reached the level of Qi training for the first time. If placed in other surrounding countries, it would be comparable to the top masters.

After all, the scarecrow is made of a rune array, and the rune array is a simplification of the rules of magical powers, which contains its power, which is naturally much stronger than the infuriating energy accumulated by ordinary people.

Moreover, as the scarecrow's power increases, the fundamentals of the rune array remain unchanged.

But the depth does get stronger.

The nature of their power may not be comparable to that of the people of the Celestial Dynasty who possess the status of heaven and earth.

However, it is definitely better than ordinary people who do not have heaven and earth qualifications.

In addition to the increase in strength, the scarecrow at this time no longer just stands still, but will wander back and forth in the farmland.

From time to time, through the civil escape method, he flashed to various parts of the farmland.

However, it has never left the farmland area divided by the Lu Army, nor has it escaped the control of the Lu Army.

Of course, Lu Jun had other concerns about this.

Although Lu Jun's control over the scarecrow has not weakened at all.

But the scarecrow now looks so weird, and I'm afraid he will hurt other people who break in unconsciously.

Moreover, the scarecrow will kill all birds and beasts.

If there are farmed pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks that break in unconsciously, they will definitely be killed and devoured.

These are all areas that need improvement.

So, Lu Jun made some improvements to it, injected new behavioral norms, and then began to conduct other experiments.

First, he brought the cats and dogs at home, and then used a special secret method to capture a wisp of their power and breath, integrated it into the core of the scarecrow, and then drove them into the farmland.

In an instant, the blood-red scarecrow turned around suddenly and looked at the cats and dogs.

"Woof, woo~!"

"Meow~ woo~!"

In an instant, the cats and dogs screamed together, their hair exploded instantly, the cat arched its back, and the dog leaned forward to the ground, making an offensive posture.

However, when the scarecrow suddenly appeared in front of them, they did not attack, but jumped back and ran away quickly.

In response, the scarecrow did not attack or chase, but just looked at it strangely, as if it was laughing strangely.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun was relieved slightly. The scarecrow did have a certain ability to distinguish.

Later, Lu Jun called other villagers to conduct the same experiment.

As for what to do if they were hurt by the scarecrow during this process.

Nowadays, almost everyone in the Celestial Empire has a heavenly status. After so many years of practice and training, they are at least in the middle stage of Qi training. They have mastered the magical powers of the heavenly status and even learned some other spells.

With the power of the scarecrow, who has just entered Qi training and has no powerful spells and magical powers, how could it hurt the villagers who were on guard?

What's more, there are many other villagers around, and with the existence of Lu Jun, the master, it is impossible for it to hurt people.

When everyone entered the farmland, the scarecrow did not change. It even seemed to be shy and became quieter, just standing there quietly.

Only when everyone turned around and stopped looking at it, it would suddenly turn its body, facing everyone, staring at everyone's every move.

However, it did not take any further action.

Seeing this, Lu Jun gestured to everyone, indicating that everyone should carry out the next experiment.

Everyone nodded, and immediately someone entered the farmland and stepped on the wheat stalks.

In an instant, the scarecrow's button eyes began to flash red light, and as the power flowed, it instantly escaped in front of the person who stepped on the wheat stalks, staring at him strangely.

Looking at the weird scarecrow in front of them, even though they had expected it, everyone was still scared by it, and almost threw out all the magic spells they had prepared in their hands.

A weird mechanical sound suddenly came into everyone's ears.

"Destroy the wheat field, leave!"

"Destroy the wheat field, punish!"

"Grain thief, bad!"

Obviously, this is the scarecrow driving away the person who destroyed the wheat field.

Everyone couldn't help but admire that Old Lu really figured out something.

On the other side, seeing that the man didn't move, the scarecrow's eyes gradually became red, and he moved forward again, as if he wanted to drive him away.

The scarecrow didn't stop until the man retracted his foot.

However, he kept staring at him.

When he stretched out his foot again, a burst of black and red air suddenly burst out of the scarecrow, and red straw shot out.

Faced with this situation, the man immediately shouted.

"Barrier suit!"

In an instant, the mysterious power swept across his body, and the defense of the clothes on his body was enhanced to the limit. Even a Qi training expert of the same realm would be blocked by most of his attacks, not to mention the scarecrow in front of him.

However, the scarecrow did not attack him directly.

The straw that shot out turned into a soft thread at this moment, and instantly wrapped around the man again and again, binding him tightly.

Then, the black and red aura emanating from the scarecrow also enveloped the man, and a repressive, strange, and gloomy force began to impact his mind.

At this moment, he seemed to have entered a strange world shrouded in black, but with red light flashing, with all kinds of terrifying illusions appearing in front of him.

Even though he was reminded by Lu Jun and was prepared, he couldn't help but feel fear at this time.

In an instant, a large amount of negative power was emitted, and then swallowed and absorbed by the scarecrow.

And stimulated by this feeling of fear, the man finally couldn't help it, and instinctively burst out his own power.

"You go!"

The explosion of supernatural power, while breaking free from the illusion, also fiercely repelled the scarecrow.

In an instant, a lot of straw on the scarecrow fell off.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun couldn't help but walk out quickly, complaining and trying to stop them.

"Hey hey hey

Why aren't you scared? What if you damage my scarecrow?"

After coming to the front of the scarecrow, Lu Jun couldn't help but check it carefully. After confirming that it was not damaged too much, he was slightly relieved.

After a series of tests and improvements, the final version of the scarecrow was finally completed.

He would only kill the birds and beasts that pecked and destroyed the crops, and drive away the livestock that had integrated the aura of power, as well as the humans that destroyed the farmland.

The first time was to drive them away by intimidation, and the second time was to tie them up and force them out. If they could not defeat and drive them away, they would contact the owner.

After the new scarecrow was completely perfected, a bright yellow national destiny immediately descended and merged into Lu Jun's body. While improving his strength, it also merged into his craftsman status, making him break through to a new level.

And he, who researched, opened up new paths, and finally perfected the research successfully, was naturally considered a craftsman.

Of course, the scarecrow he made was essentially Zhou Jie's rune array.

Energy gathering array, energy storage array, energy conversion array, etc., at most added some principles of the magical power of sowing beans into soldiers.

However, he was able to integrate and transform it, which meant that he had a deep understanding of its operating principles and had carried out in-depth evolution and expansion.

Naturally, it was not an exaggeration to call him a craftsman.

In fact, when the craftsman's rules evolved, he did reach the level of a craftsman.

At this moment, Lu Jun only felt trance, in the dark, his mind merged into a vast ocean of spiritual light, all kinds of rules and ideas merged into his heart, the bottleneck of cultivation was instantly broken, and he jumped to the realm of immortality.

On the other side, Zhou Jie, who was the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and Wang Chao all looked in his direction.

A special aura connection instantly merged into the anchor point connecting Zhou Jie and the sea of ​​spiritual power.

In an instant, he felt that his connection with the sea of ​​spiritual power became closer and clearer.

At the same time, he could also feel that Lu Jun could use the anchor point connecting him to the sea of ​​spiritual power to attract the spiritual power in the sea of ​​spiritual power like him, pull the power of rules, and enlighten the spirituality of manufactured items.

However, if he disagrees, it can be cut off directly.

Wang Chao saw more clearly that most of Lu Jun's connection with the sea of ​​spiritual power was indeed linked to Zhou Jie's anchor point, but there was also a part that was faintly separated from Zhou Jie's anchor point.

After a slight perception, Wang Chao showed a thoughtful look.

It turned out that all the later comers who used the power and skills of the forerunners were connected to the sea of ​​spiritual power.

In this process, the power and skills of the later comers would supplement the forerunners and enhance the strength of their connection with the sea of ​​spiritual power.

However, as long as they have their own ideas and thoughts, they will naturally establish a connection with the sea of ​​spiritual power.

When they have perfected their own thoughts and ideas, they can completely break away from the forerunners and become independent from the forerunners' anchor points.

Of course, the anchor point connection that has been widened and strengthened for the forerunners will not be reduced or weakened. (End of this chapter)
