333, the bloody nature of the city lord, Zhou Shu forges another army
Tongguan City is inconspicuous among countless cities in the world.
At this moment, the top of Tongguan City is filled with densely packed figures.
Outside the city, there are also dense shadows, but those shadows are just spiritual insects.
The overwhelming number of spiritual insects exceeded one hundred thousand.
But even this is still not considered an insect disaster.
A real insect plague, the number of spiritual insects is in the hundreds of millions.
That is the true sky-blocking sun. Everything you see are spiritual insects. Wherever they pass, not a single blade of grass grows.
Although there are a lot of spiritual insects, neither Ge Changlong nor anyone else is too nervous.
This number of spiritual insects is still within the range that Tongguan City can handle.
When Zhou Shu came to the top of the city, he happened to see Ge Changlong and Jin Kui's Tianzun guards killing everyone in the spirit insect swarm.
The two of them are armed with magic swords and can kill a spiritual insect with just three or two swords.
In comparison, others are far inferior.
When Zhou Shu saw a strong man in the Dao realm, he punched a spirit insect back several feet, but the next moment, the spirit insect pounced back unscathed, and a ball of dazzling light erupted from its mouth.<
/p>
This is the first time Zhou Shu has witnessed the battle between humans and spiritual insects.
Similar to what was said before the battle, the attack power of these spiritual insects is actually not too strong.
They range from the Cave Heaven Realm to the Dao Realm. In comparison, their defensive power is even more surprising.
Even those spirit insects that can only launch Cave Heaven Realm attacks are not damaged at all after being attacked by Tao Realm experts.
They are almost immune to all magical powers, and only the attacks of magical weapons can break through their defenses and cause real harm to them.
This is equivalent to the fact that they are not afraid of human attacks at all, but even if their attacks are not strong enough, humans would not dare to resist them.
Therefore, the strong men in Tongguan City were a little constrained when fighting against the spirit insects.
This is one of the reasons why Ge Changlong attaches so much importance to the Weapon Casting Division.
Speaking of which, the martial arts cultivation of the strong men in Tongguan City is very strong, more than a little bit better than that of the human race in the ancestral land.
But in terms of equipment, they are far inferior to the strong men of the human race in the ancestral land.
After the rise of Zhou Shu, the people of the Ancestral Land did not say that everyone had a magic weapon. At least everyone who was strong in the cave heaven realm had a magic weapon.
But in Tongguan City, the number of people with magic weapons is less than one-fifth!
Zhou Shu even saw several powerful Taoists who did not have magic weapons in their hands, but were dealing with spirit insects with bare hands.
This scene gave him a deeper understanding of the scarcity of divine weapons in the world behind this sect.
I don’t know if this is because someone deliberately controlled the number of magic weapons, or if Tiangong Pavilion’s weapon-casting skills are indeed not very good.
Of course, Zhou Shu suspected that it was most likely the former.
Even if Tiangong Pavilion's weapon-casting skills are not very good, if you don't pursue the quality of magical weapons, it is impossible to cast only such a few magical weapons.
Thinking about the magic weapon, Zhou Shu had already taken out the cage he got from Mu Zhixing.
As soon as he took out the cage, the spiritual insects outside the city suddenly started to riot.
A hissing sound of insects echoed in the air, and they launched a suicidal attack towards the city head crazily.
This kind of scene requires almost no guessing. Zhou Shu has already determined that this spirit insect is indeed here for the spirit insect in his hand!
The spirit insect in his hand is the reason why the spirit insects outside the city launched an attack on Tongguan City in advance!
Ge Changlong and Jin Kui did not guess wrong, but they did not expect that these spiritual insects did not come for something, they came for their own kind!
The abnormal reaction of the spirit insect naturally attracted the attention of Ge Changlong, who was rushing to kill him.
He looked back and saw Zhou Shu standing on top of the city at a glance. This startled him so much that he didn't even bother to continue killing the spiritual insects. In a flash, he was already back on top of the city. p>
"How did you come here! Who asked you to come!"
Ge Changlong said impatiently, "What if something happens to you?"
Zhou Shu's current identity is Wu Zongquan, and Wu Zongquan was originally just a low-level officer in the Tongguan City Army. His cultivation had just broken through to the Dao realm. On the battlefield, he was equivalent to cannon fodder.
In Ge Changlong's view, Zhou Shu is a weapon maker, and his greatest value is in forging weapons and killing spiritual insects, and there is no need for him to intervene at all.
If he really dies in the hands of spiritual insects, it will be the biggest loss to Tongguan City!
"City Lord, I'm here for it."
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, but still took out the spirit insect that was captured alive.
Although he can conceal the existence of this spiritual insect, the spiritual insects outside the city are now aiming for it. If he does not tell it, it is very likely that Ge Changlong will make some wrong decisions due to information bias.
Zhou Shu still needs Ge Changlong to protect Tongguan City. Tongguan City cannot allow any mistakes.
So even though he knew there would be some trouble, he still decided to inform Ge Changlong of the existence of the spirit insect.
"I suspect that the spiritual insects outside the city are coming for it!"
Only then did Ge Changlong notice that there was a spirit insect captured alive in Zhou Shu's hand!
Who caught this?
This was the first reaction in Ge Changlong's mind.
However, the current situation is obviously not suitable to ask this question.
After all, Ge Changlong is not an ordinary person. He suddenly discovered the reaction of the spirit insects outside the city after this spirit insect appeared.
"I'm going to ask why the spiritual insects haven't multiplied enough yet, and why they launched the attack in advance."
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice, "That's it! This spiritual insect seems to have an unusual identity."
"City Lord, do you want to let it go? If you let it go, the spirit insects outside the city may retreat."
Zhou Shu said.
"Why let it go?"
Ge Changlong asked, "The spirit insect is our life and death enemy. We are incompatible existences. Since we have caught it, why should we let it go?"
"As for those spiritual insects outside the city, it's nothing to worry about. I'm just trying to kill them all. If they retreat, who else will I kill?"
Ge Changlong is full of murderous intent.
Zhou Shu looked at Ge Changlong with some surprise.
It has to be said that Zhou Shu did not have much affection for Ge Changlong because of the existence of the slave miners in Tongguan City.
However, during this period of contact, Zhou Shu discovered that Ge Changlong was not as cruel as he thought.
His cruelty only applies to his enemies. To a certain extent, he is still a very responsible city lord.
Especially when dealing with spiritual insects, both he and Jin Kui are full of blood.
This made Zhou Shu also realize that spiritual insects are really an absolute threat to people in this world.
When they faced the spiritual insects, they showed no compromise.
"The problem is, if we don't let it go, the spiritual insects may attack the city endlessly."
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
"So what?"
Ge Changlong said, "Tongguan City exists to guard the spiritual insects. They come whenever they come! The identity of this spiritual insect is special and suitable. Use it to attract the spiritual insects to come. In this way, they will not be able to cause an insect plague. This
For us, there are only advantages and no disadvantages!"
"Second brother, no matter where you got this spiritual worm, whoever caught this spiritual worm has made a great contribution!"
Ge Changlong patted Zhou Shu on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "When the spirit insects are completely suppressed, I will write a letter to you to ask for credit!"
Of course Ge Changlong knew that with the strength of his second brother, it was impossible to catch the spirit insects alive, and he had no chance of catching the spirit insects alive.
In the entire Tongguan City, the number of people who are capable of catching spiritual insects alive is no more than one palm.
But these people have been fighting with the spiritual insects around him, and they have no chance to catch the spiritual insects alive.
Moreover, even if they catch the spirit insect, they will hand it over to themselves as the city lord, and they cannot hand it over directly to Wu Zongquan.
In Ge Changlong's opinion, someone else must have caught the spirit insect and given it to Zhou Shu.
And this person is most likely related to the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
Anyone who can catch a spiritual insect is definitely not an ordinary person, especially a spiritual insect with an obviously extraordinary identity.
For ordinary people, this is as difficult as climbing to the sky, but for the master of Tiangong Pavilion, it is nothing.
Even Jin Kui, the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, is surrounded by guards of the Tianzun realm, let alone the master of Tiangong Pavilion?
Even if the master of Tiangong Pavilion has a pseudo-god to protect him, Ge Changlong wouldn't find it strange.
It was only now that Ge Changlong was truly sure that Wu Zongquan might really be the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
Otherwise, what happened to him would be completely unexplainable!
Once he is really regarded as the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, all doubts will be solved.
He couldn't see through it without exposing it, so Ge Changlong didn't even ask Zhou Shu where he got this spirit worm.
When he thought that the master of Tiangong Pavilion might have sent someone to secretly protect Wu Zongquan, Ge Changlong became even closer to this cheap second brother.
"Second brother, you have to take care of this spiritual insect. Don't worry about the spiritual insects outside the city. Leave them to me, eldest brother."
Ge Changlong said, "Go back to the city, it's too dangerous here. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, big brother, a mere spirit insect can't break through the defense of Tongguan City!"
After saying that, Ge Changlong flew down the city again and killed the spirit insects.
"Is it possible that you are still a prince and noble among spiritual insects?"
Zhou Shu's eyes shifted from Ge Changlong's body to the cage in his hand.
Inside the cage, the spirit worm is still sleeping.
Zhou Shu thought for a moment, turned his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
He pointed the tip of his sword directly between the two eyes of the spirit worm, and then shouted outside the city.
"Stop everyone, or I'll kill it!"
Zhou Shu's voice spread far away and could be heard clearly within a radius of dozens of miles.
But...
Those spirit insects didn't react at all, as if they couldn't understand Zhou Shu's words...
That's right, they really can't understand.
Spiritual insects are inherently of low intelligence. It is not certain whether they have language of their own, let alone understand human language.
Zhou Shu was unhappy, but fortunately he was thick-skinned, otherwise, he would have been ashamed of himself by now.
"Forget it, let Ge Changlong kill all these spiritual insects."
Zhou Shu thought to himself, carrying the cage and walking towards the city.
Since Ge Changlong and the others are not afraid of attracting spiritual insects, what else is he afraid of?
Just in time, let’s try this spiritual insect to see what kind of magic weapon can break through their defenses more easily!
Seemingly noticing that Zhou Shu had taken the spirit insect away from the city, the spirit insects outside the city suddenly became extremely crazy.
In an instant, many warriors in Tongguan City missed the defensive line and were injured.
Fortunately, Ge Changlong and Jin Kui's Tianzun guard were there to guard the formation, otherwise, this would have caused great losses to Tongguan City.
This is mainly because the number of spiritual insects is not enough. If the number of insect pests really broke out, I am afraid that Tongguan City would have been lost by now!
Inside the city.
Zhou Shu stabbed the spirit insect with the tip of his sword. It made a crisp sound as if the tip of the sword had pierced metal.
Because he was worried about waking up the spiritual insect, Zhou Shu did not use too much strength.
But with his cultivation and the sharpness of the divine weapon, this thorn can pierce even a steel plate.
But the scales on that spirit insect didn't even show any white marks.
"Sure enough, the defense is amazing."
Zhou Shu muttered to himself.
According to this world, spiritual insects are pests born from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. They are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can swallow the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, so they have such amazing defense power.
It can be said that the whole body of this spiritual insect is composed of extremely rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
"If you eat it, maybe it can help your cultivation."
Zhou Shu said to himself that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely important to low-level warriors. Even warriors of Zhou Shu's level still need to swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in their cultivation. However, for them, spiritual insects The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained is still too little.
Otherwise, Zhou Shu really wants to try eating a spiritual insect to see if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on them can be directly absorbed and utilized.
"To break through the defense of spiritual insects, the magic weapon must be sharp enough, and it must also have the ability to restrain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Zhou Shu continued to deduce the magic weapon, "There is a Yuanshi in this world that has the characteristic of being sharp. If you use that Yuanshi to cast a magic weapon and kill spiritual insects, it will be like chopping melons and vegetables."
"It's a pity that the characteristic is the sharp origin. I don't know where it is. Even if I know it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it."
"The Yuanshi produced by the Yuanshi Mine outside Tongguan City is hard, so it is not of use now."
There were countless weapons-making materials colliding in Zhou Shu's mind, and wonderful changes were taking place in his deductions.
If any armor master could see the changes in his mind, he would be extremely shocked.
A person's understanding of weapons-making materials can reach such an extent. Just by deducing in his mind, he has almost exhausted the changes in the properties of weapons-making materials.
Anyone who has such an understanding of weapon-making materials will definitely become a great weapon-casting master!
For Zhou Shu, this is just an extremely ordinary thing.
Back then, he received the reward of proficiency in weapon-making materials from the Divine Weapon Atlas. Over the years, he himself has been working hard to learn the characteristics of various weapon-making materials.
In addition, he has rich experience over the years and has seen countless weapons-making materials. Such ability can be regarded as his own hard work.
"In terms of pure lethality, the sword is the most respected."
An idea flashed in Zhou Shu's mind and he said to himself, "When I was an apprentice in the Daxia Weapons Forging Department, I started my career as a weapon forging master with a sharp standard long sword. Today, behind this door
In this world, I will use a long knife to amaze the world."
Zhou Shu thought with some wickedness, "What is this knife called? A sharp innate magic weapon? It's too ugly."
"Forget it, let's talk about the name later. Let's cast one first to try the effect."
Zhou Shu made up his mind and immediately ordered Xue Liang to carry the materials for making soldiers in the backyard.
Now all the weapons-making materials in Tongguan City are stored in his house. What materials he wants to use for weapons-making is just a matter of words.
I have to say that Ge Changlong's trust in him really reached an unparalleled level.
Zhou Shu put himself in his shoes and thought that even if he were replaced, he might not be able to achieve this step.
Zhou Shu activated the flames in the casting furnace and threw pieces of soldier-casting materials into it.
Once he started to forge weapons, he was so engrossed that he almost didn't notice the scene outside. He didn't notice that the eyelids of the spirit insect in the cage he casually put aside suddenly jumped, as if it was about to open its eyes.
Average.
Xue Liang, the chief steward of Wu Mansion, stood respectfully, watching Zhou Shu's movements with extremely enthusiastic eyes.
Zhou Shu did not drive him out, so he took the opportunity to observe Zhou Shu's actions.
Xue Liang has always had the dream of becoming a weapons master, but his two previous masters, Master Mo and Zhou Shu, had no intention of accepting him as a disciple.
However, Zhou Shu is still better than Master Mo, and he will give him some pointers from time to time.
Moreover, when Zhou Shu was forging soldiers, he would sometimes ask him to wait on him, but he would not stop him from watching.
When Master Mo was still here, he would never be allowed to watch.
Although he may not be able to master the art of weapon-making just by looking at it, it will be of some benefit to him, right?
While watching Zhou Shu put the soldier-casting materials into the forging furnace, Xue Liang gestured with his hands, and he even imitated Zhou Shu's movements.
In his mind, he imagined that after he became a weapon maker, he would be able to forge weapons with such graceful posture.
Suddenly, Xue Liang heard a rustling sound.
When he turned around to look, he was immediately frightened to the point of losing two of his souls.
I saw that the spirit worm had woken up at some point and was biting the cage that trapped it with its sharp teeth!
After this spiritual insect woke up, it didn't kill itself, but wanted to escape!
He has already bitten off one of the bars on the cage. He only needs to bit off another one and he can escape!
"Big——"
Xue Liang subconsciously wanted to call Zhou Shu. As he spoke, he suddenly thought that when the armorer was forging weapons, he was most afraid of being disturbed. When Master Mo was disturbed, he would fail to forge the weapons. Therefore, he , and also beat several servants to death.
If the master fails to forge an army because of his shouting, he cannot bear the consequences.
"Go back!"
Xue Liang raised his fist and hit the spirit insect on the head, trying to stop it from chewing through the railing.
"Bang——"
Xue Liang's fist fell on the spirit insect's head, as if to tickle it. It continued to bite the railing without raising its head, and as it looked, the railing was about to be bitten off.
