Chapter 17 Arrangement

Zhang Yan has adapted to his current life. Except for being frightened every time he goes out to patrol the fortress, everything seems to be getting better.

And compared to the offensive and defensive fights on the city wall, Zhang Yan felt that You Tanqi was clearly taking care of him intentionally. He was obviously an assassin, but he was placed in the center of the battle formation, not like an assassin.

Being at the back end allows him to be protected from all aspects. At least he can have a buffer when unexpected changes occur.

In addition, from time to time, the general manager Lin Zedong would come over to chat with Zhang Yan, openly or covertly trying to trick him. He mentioned many times that "Miscellaneous studies are also treasures of wisdom, not inferior to martial arts."

Zhang Yan was stunned for a while.

What does this mean? Are you seeing something about me?

It shouldn’t be! Even if the origin of the Kongming Lantern is unclear, it is still useful.

However, Lin Zedong seemed to have insinuations both inside and outside of his words, and what did he mean by the "lineage of miscellaneous studies" he mentioned repeatedly? Could it be that... in his eyes, the strangeness about me comes from this so-called

"Miscellaneous studies"?

Zhang Yan also had some thoughts in his mind. Combined with the care he received later in Youtanqi, it seemed certain that Lin Zedong had treated him as a special talent belonging to the "miscellany lineage"

.

As for what "miscellaneous knowledge" means, Zhang Yan has no way to ask, so he can only figure it out on his own. Fortunately, with the Kongming Lantern as a reference, he can at least guess a little bit.

"Perhaps, the so-called miscellaneous studies refer to a school of natural sciences that is not mainstream in this world, and even belongs to a very unpopular school?" Although he is not sure, Zhang Yan feels that it should not be too far off.

Moreover, this speculation is based on the precedent of the Earth. After the spiritual energy was exhausted on the Earth, the school of spiritual practice also showed obvious signs of slowly shifting from the roots of spiritual practice to the study of natural sciences. Perhaps there is a similar situation in the Wild Heaven Realm.

This is definitely great news for Zhang Yan.

Although the unknown can arouse people's thirst for knowledge, it can also arouse rejection and hostility. The former is fine, but the latter is not something Zhang Yan can bear at the moment. If he didn't want to earn credit and clear his name as soon as possible, he would not

He took out the sky lantern to take risks. Later, he deliberately deepened the impression of "crazy" on the people around him, which was also a worrying remedy.

But if someone else takes the initiative to find a reason to come out, it will be a great thing for Zhang Yan.

Although Zhang Yan doesn't understand the specific context of miscellaneous studies, it is definitely his best barrier at the moment.

"Then can I use this so-called miscellaneous knowledge to gain some benefits for myself?" Zhang Yan felt that if the time was right, he could try it again.

The recent incident of Youtan Qili setting up traps made Zhang Yan see some opportunities.

Now that life has settled down, Zhang Yan habitually thinks about the things around him, especially about Youtanqi, which may be a matter of life and death, so he can't help but think more about it.

For example, Zhang Yan has personally experienced the recent losses in Yutanqi twice. After the demon clan understands the intention and purpose of setting up sentries in front of the Yubei Mountain Fortress, they will definitely not just stare at them, and they will remove and destroy them in a targeted manner.

It is an inevitable result, which means that the soldiers of the Youtan Banner who go to the sentry to lurk and patrol will become the target of attacks by small groups of monsters.

This was also Zhang Yan's first time encountering an attack from a superior demon soldier. Seeing the opponent's violent power that could break mountains and crack rocks with his flesh palm, he felt like they were two different creatures from the inferior demon soldiers he had stabbed to death several times.

The difference in strength between different species was simply beyond his imagination.

Fortunately, the team leader Qin Hao's strength is equally impressive. He is a mid-stage Kaiyuan realm warrior who has developed inner strength and vitality. He can face the superior demon soldiers with ease, and can even kill the opponent with a sword in the end.

Of course, the two divine spells and the yellow paper exorcism talisman on Zhang Yan's body were equally effective. Others thought that the opponent's demon soldiers made a mistake or were distracted, but Zhang Yan knew that all the low-level demon soldiers who died after he snatched them could not escape.

Influenced by invisible weakening.

However, just because Zhang Yan and his group were able to survive without incident does not mean that others can too.

Therefore, after Youtanqi encountered the demon soldiers' attack on the sentry post, he had an advanced strategy. That was to use the trap areas along the road as early warning and defense for the sentry garrison.

Demon soldiers have rough skin and thick flesh, so ordinary traps may not be able to kill or maim them, but if they are smeared with poison, the situation will be different. Moreover, the traps can also be connected to some mechanisms such as bells, allowing them to

The whereabouts of the lurking demon soldiers are exposed in advance for the soldiers of the Youtan Banner to discover, so they can actively choose to retreat or fight.

Zhang Yan still has some research on mechanism skills, but he is not optimistic about Yubei Mountain Fortress's strategy of using traps to contain the demon clan, and even thinks it is a bit too simplistic.

After all, although traps can indeed provide warnings, it is too weak to rely on traps alone to block the attacks of demons on sentries. After all, the effectiveness of traps will be greatly reduced when demons have been deceived several times and then become prepared.

Zhang Yan thought about it for a while and knew it in his mind. He had the means to show off his skills again.

On this day, Zhang Yan's group once again left the fortress to patrol and garrison the posts in rotation. They also needed to repair the beacon towers on the posts, and arrange and supplement some necessary traps.

"These places have been destroyed and have been re-arranged. Also pay attention to the marks on the trees and don't miss them. Don't let those monsters take advantage of them."

When they arrived at the guard post, they rotated out the previous garrison soldiers, and Qin Hao immediately ordered the people in his group to start working.

Zhang Yan is a temporary instructor in traps. He is also the main force in setting traps in the group. At the same time, he and Lao Yu are also responsible for inspecting and modifying the traps set by his companions.

"Lao Yu, do you think it would be better to plant a patch of thorn vines in this place? In that case, the road next to it can be cut off. Then those monsters will have to leave us unless they cut down the thorn vines violently.

This road is lined with traps. And we can hang some bells on the thorn vines as warnings..."

"You... how did you come up with this?" Old Yu was dumbfounded. At first, he thought Zhang Yan was crazy. Who set up a trap and moved a piece of thorn vine to plant it? But

After hearing this, I felt like I had a sudden enlightenment. Because the method mentioned by Zhang Yan is indeed feasible and the effect should be very good. It can successfully block the path leading to the sentry in front.

Zhang Yan curled his lips. For an agency rookie like Lao Yu who only knew how to arrange traps according to local conditions but did not know how to actively change the environment to increase the effectiveness of the trap, he really had no interest in explaining more.

And what Zhang Yan is doing is not just as simple as setting up traps?

Changing the environment is just a means, the purpose is to form an ancient means from the earth.
