5. You are the first man to make me bleed (monthly pass)
"Your Majesty, this cave is much bigger than I thought."
In the cave space entered through the lake, generals such as Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Tang Chengshi, Bai Qiancheng, Cao Chenyang, Zhang Wuyuan, etc. were sitting together.
The conditions inside the cave were poor and there were not even chairs, so everyone was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking a little miserable.
But everyone's spirits are very high.
After eating, drinking, and sleeping, everyone explored the cave.
Although Zhou Shu knew about the existence of this cave, he was not too sure about how big it was.
When Dai Yao Yaolian discovered this place by chance, he did not conduct a safe exploration here.
Starting from this hall, there are many passages around, extending in all directions. The 30,000-strong Allied Forces of the Ten Nations carefully explored outside those passages. They did not encounter any danger, but until now, they have not yet figured out how big the cave is.
.
Throughout the day, the passages in this cave are intricate and extend extremely wide, which is also a good thing for the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations.
If they are really discovered by the demon army, they only need to drill into the passage. If the demon army wants to catch up with them, it will not be that easy.
"The bigger, the better."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "This may be our base for a long time in the future. The place is small and we can't move anywhere."
"Your Majesty is right."
Wang Mu nodded and said, "There are many passages here. We can design levels based on the terrain. Even if the demon world's army attacks here in the future, we can defeat them!"
"Don't be too optimistic."
Cao Chenyang said that he had been hiding in the demon world for ten years and was very aware of its strength.
"Low-grade monsters are easy to say, but high-grade monsters are not so easy to resist. If it is a big monster, or even a monster king, this cave cannot stop it at all."
Cao Chenyang said righteously.
"What everyone said makes sense."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "If we are really attacked here by the demon army, the situation will have reached the worst point."
"I think even the Demon King and the Great Demon won't notice a few of us."
"For now, we are still developing slowly and it is not appropriate to make too much noise for the time being."
Thirty thousand people are a drop in the bucket for the huge demon world.
Obscene development is the right choice for them.
"But it's not okay to do nothing."
Zhou Shu continued, "In my opinion, from now on we will take turns to harass the demon world. It is best to sneak attack on their cities, tribes and the like. This requires all generals to plan together. I am not good at fighting." "I have a suggestion."
Cao Chenyang said, "The top priority now is that we should find a way to draw a map of the surrounding area. It is best to determine what demon clan forces are around."
Everyone nodded, this is indeed the first thing that should be resolved.
"Let's do this. Let the army continue to explore the cave. I will wait for the first-level martial arts to go out of the cave to explore the surrounding situation."
Bai Qiancheng muttered, "If we encounter an enemy, we will have a greater chance of escaping. But we must be careful not to let the enemy discover this place."
Everyone agreed, and they discussed a specific action plan.
Zhou Shu listened for a while and felt that it would be enough to leave these matters to them. These people are all famous generals from various countries. They can handle this small matter properly.
He walked away and walked slowly to the place where the demon refining materials were stored.
Separated from the lobby where the army is stationed by a short passage, there is an independent stone room.
The supplies originally stored here have been consumed by the 30,000-strong army, and this place was used as a warehouse by Zhou Shu.
The weapons-making materials brought by the army from the battlefields of the Ten Kingdoms have been placed here.
Shi Songtao, the deputy master of the pavilion, is busy here counting and sorting out the materials for casting weapons.
"Pavilion Master."
Seeing Zhou Shu come in, Shi Songtao looked up from the soldier-making materials and said hello.
"How is the arrangement going?"
Looking at the room full of weapons-making materials, Zhou Shu had the mentality of a landlord checking the warehouse, and felt very comfortable. These are all his own property.
"All the soldier-making materials that everyone put in the Qiankun Bracelet have been poured out, but not even one out of ten of the soldier-making materials carried by the soldiers is left."
Shi Songtao said with great distress.
Along the way, there were repeated battles, and even two-thirds of the soldiers were lost. They were able to carry some of the materials for making soldiers without abandoning them all, which was considered very good.
Zhou Shu also knew that he shouldn't expect too much, "How many more."
"We are going to take root in the demon world. These soldier-making materials are the capital for us to start our business."
Zhou Shu said, "Now everyone has very few intact weapons. Next, we have to re-equip them."
"Forging weapons is what we at Huaxia Pavilion need to do to make a living. When it comes to weapons, you must not stretch your hips."
"Are these weapons-making materials enough?"
"We now have a total of more than 22 million kilograms of various weapons-making materials. If we supply standard weapons, it will be more than enough, but if it is imported weapons-"
Shi Songtao muttered, "The Heavenly Refining Stone we have is not enough."
The Heavenly Refining Stone is a necessity for guiding high-grade weapons.
In the battlefield space of Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts, there are many veins of weapon-making materials. Some of the veins are not even as precious as Heavenly Alchemy Stone, but there is no vein of Heavenly Alchemy Stone.
Therefore, their current reserve of Heavenly Refining Stones was carried with the armies of various countries before they entered the battlefield of the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise. This amount is not too much.
"Heavenly Refined Stone——"
Zhou Shu pondered, "I wonder if there are veins of heavenly refining stones in the demon world."
If there is a lack of other materials, we can still think of ways to substitute them, but there is no substitute for the Heavenly Alchemy Stone.
Without the Heavenly Refining Stone, it would be impossible to forge high-quality weapons.
"But I'm not in a hurry."
Shi Songtao said, "We still have some reserves of heavenly refining stones, and we can still hold on for a while."
"By the way, Pavilion Master, there is one more thing I want to ask you for."
Shi Songtao continued, "Before, you asked me to disclose the secret recipe of our Huaxia Pavilion for making weapons. After thinking about it, I still feel that it is not good to disclose it directly."
"Now, most of the weapons masters under our command are from other countries. It seems that everyone is of the same mind now, but in the future, it will be hard to say if we return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent."
"So I thought, let them make a contribution to Huaxia Pavilion, and then, based on the size of their contribution, give them the secret recipe for making weapons, and even teach them the related art of making weapons."
"Points?"
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Songtao and laughed.
It seems that Shi Songtao really put a lot of thought into it. He really thinks about Huaxia Pavilion. This deputy pavilion master is very dedicated.
"What are points?"
Shi Songtao said blankly.
"The contribution points you mentioned are actually the same thing as the merit points in the military. I prefer to call them points."
Zhou Shu explained with a smile, "Let's do this. From now on, not only these weapon-casting divisions, but also the weapon-casting divisions affiliated to Huaxia Pavilion will follow this system."
"Here, every time you cast a standard weapon, you get one point, and when you cast a high-quality weapon, you get one hundred points."
"If it is a joint casting, points will be allocated according to the amount of effort."
"You should design the specific points system carefully. It must be fair and just so that everyone can be convinced."
"I understand."
Shi Songtao nodded and said, it was just a change of name, which was not inconsistent with what he had been thinking.
"Pavilion Master, if those weapon-smiths donate their own secret recipe for weapon-making, can we also give them some points?"
Shi Songtao asked.
"Of course. This can be regarded as a contribution to Huaxia Pavilion. After all, it can enrich our own secret recipe library for making weapons."
Zhou Shu nodded.
"Exactly how many points can be exchanged for what secret weapon-making recipe? Does the Pavilion Master have any regulations?"
Shi Songtao continued to ask.
"Depending on their respective values, you formulate a plan. After I read it, if there are no problems, I will implement it."
Zhou Shu said.
"By the way, how's the construction of the foundry going?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"Master Craftsman Li Chengliang and his people are building it."
Shi Songtao said, "Thanks to the Qiankun Bracelet, we can bring the casting furnace here."
This cave extends in all directions, and there are room-like caves inside. With a little modification, it can become a room.
Zhou Shu didn't worry about the rest, but he ordered the construction of several casting houses from the beginning.
For Zhou Shu, no matter how you say it, forging soldiers is the basic plan, and this aspect cannot be careless at all.
To deal with the demon world, the only advantage humans have is weapons.
After a few more words with Shi Songtao, Zhou Shu left the warehouse and planned to go to the foundry to have a look.
After walking not far, Zhou Shu met Mi Ziwen who was coming towards him.
Mi Ziwen had a relaxed smile on his face, "Second brother, we found an underground river ahead. The water in the underground river is very clear and can be drank directly, and there are actually fish in the river!"
Mi Ziwen was very happy. After the supplies originally stored in the Great Demon Demon Refining were all used up, the army faced the problem of lack of food and grass. Now that such an underground river was discovered, the army finally did not have to worry about dying of thirst and starvation.
"Really? That's really great."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, the cave discovered by Yaolian is really a treasure.
"General Wang Xin seems to have discovered another exit, and he took his people out to investigate."
Yon Ziwen continued.
"What?"
Zhou Shu frowned, "Didn't I tell you? Don't leave the cave easily! What if you encounter a monster?"
"He went out alone, so there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Mi Ziwen said that he tried to dissuade Wang Xin, but Wang Xin insisted on going. The two were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, and Mi Ziwen could not control him.
However, he also felt that with Wang Xin's second-level martial arts cultivation, as long as he didn't encounter a first-level monster, there shouldn't be much danger. After all, he just went out secretly to investigate.
"Where is the exit? Take me to see it."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
That’s what they say, but don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
If a monster discovers this cave, it must be killed and silenced. This place cannot be exposed yet.
Seeing Zhou Shu's serious expression, Mi Ziwen said nothing more, "Second brother, come with me."
The exit Wang Xin discovered was far away from the space where the army was stationed.
Zhou Shu followed Mizi Wen around for dozens of miles, and then he saw a bright light coming from ahead.
"Crash-"
The two of them got through a bush, and then felt their eyes brighten up. They actually got out of a mountain wall.
There were thick bushes on the mountain wall, covering the entrance of the cave.
If you were passing by outside, you would definitely not be able to find this cave entrance easily.
In fact, even if it is discovered, usually no one will care. After all, there are countless caves in the mountains. Who would pay attention?
"Wang Xin!"
As soon as he got out, Zhou Shu looked around and saw Wang Xin squatting on the ground dozens of feet ahead, not knowing what he was doing.
Zhou Shu's body swayed and he had reached Wang Xin's side. He saw a young girl lying on the ground.
The girl's eyes were closed tightly, her long eyelashes were still trembling, and a painful expression kept flashing across her face.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Shu looked around subconsciously, and his consciousness was like water exploring the surroundings.
After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. There were no traces of monsters around. This area looked like a barren mountain and there were not many traces of monster activity. It seemed that they were pretty lucky.
"I don't know why there is a person here."
Wang Xin said, "She was here when I came out. It looked like she was injured——"
"Human? How do you know she is a human?"
Zhou Shu said angrily, "Have you never seen a humanoid monster?"
"But I think she really looks like a person."
Wang Xin said weakly.
Zhou Shu glanced at Wang Xin strangely. There was something wrong with a straight man like Wang Xin. Could he have fallen in love with this monster?
Zhou Shu looked down and saw that the monster lying on the ground, or rather the humanoid monster, was slender and graceful, and it could be seen from lying there that he had an excellent figure.
She has a palm-sized face and dazzlingly white skin. Even with her eyes closed, you can tell that she looks extremely beautiful.
To use Zhou Shu’s words from his previous life to describe it, this is an extremely beautiful big-breasted lolita!
Could it be that Wang Xin likes this bite?
Zhou Shu complained in his heart, "Kill them all, whether they are human or not."
Zhou Shu's eyes flashed coldly and he said coldly.
"No!"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
However, Wang Xin and Mi Ziwen stopped him at the same time.
Zhou Shu looked at the two of them with some confusion. Forget Wang Xin, does his eldest brother also like this type?
But that's not right. Wang Xin used to not be flirtatious with women, but his eldest brother used to go out to brothels a lot, so he doesn't look like someone who can't walk around after seeing a beautiful woman.
This is the world of monsters. No matter how beautiful you are, it is still a monster. It is a monster, and it is always right to kill it.
"Why?"
Zhou Shu looked at the two of them and said, "Don't look at her good looks, but she is a monster. Do you need me to tell you how dangerous a monster is?"
