C115 An Unexpected Discovery
Suddenly, a wolf's howl came from the ground. It opened its mouth and grabbed its tail. The wolf's head and tail turned into a blade wheel and broke out of the ground. It cut the iron tiger, which was searching for traces of the enemy, in half from the bottom to the bottom.
The iron tiger was split into two, but the Tiger Army military puppet's ferocity did not decrease. Half of the tiger's body stood up, and it reached out its claws towards Zhan Lang's throat. Zhan Lang did not dodge, nor did he dodge. He opened his front claws with all his might, and six foot-long sharp blades shot out from his claws. The blades clashed with the tiger's claws. With the explosive sound of metal colliding, the tiger claw seemed to have hit an icicle on the edge of the blade. It exploded into pieces of cold crystals that scattered all over the ground, and the tiger head was crushed into pieces.
Zhan Lang let out a long roar and walked in front of Lu Changkong in a victorious manner. Then, like a dog, he lied beside his master's feet.
"Genius, genius. . . " Wang Xiaotian praised repeatedly, "Master Lu is indeed worthy of being called a genius in this world. I admire him, I admire him. "
Lu Changkong humbly said a few words and said to himself, "I was lucky!" If not for the fact that he had studied the ancient puppet technique in the Nine Evil Scriptures with Bailian Sheng a while ago, and the little bit of alchemy that Mai Laopi had left behind, Lu Changkong would not have been able to create a Combat Wolf in a short period of time.
Everyone returned to their seats. The more Wang Xiaotian looked at Lu Changkong, the more pleasing he was to the eye. The more he looked at Lu Changkong, the more he liked him. He really wanted to immediately take him under his command. But Lang Shuai and Lu Xinchun's face was there, and it was not good for him to directly recruit them. For a moment, his heart was itching, and he could not wait to send Lang Shuai away to talk to Lu Changkong alone.
Lu Xinchun was extremely smart, so how could she not see through his thoughts. She was the first to speak, "Big Brother, you have the heart to love talents?"
"Of course, of course!" Wang Xiaotian stole a glance at Lu Xinchun and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have that good life. If I had met Master Lu earlier, I would have given him the position of deputy commander of Tiger Army. No matter what, I would recruit him into Tiger Army. "
Lu Xinchun smiled and said, "If Master Lu is willing to lower himself, I will not stop him. However, big brother, don't recruit talents behind my back!"
"Is that true?" Wang Xiaotian looked at Lu Xinchun in disbelief.
Lu Xinchun sighed and said, "Brother, do you still think of me as your little sister today?"
"What do you mean, I. . . "
"I don't want to hear insincere words anymore!" Lu Xinchun waved her hand and said, "Back then when big brother brought little sister into the army, we were all only in our teens, right? Do you still remember the war in Jinglong Ye? There was also the battle to defend the city under New River City. In the two great wars, the number of people left in our army can be counted on one hand. It was you who carried me out of a pile of dead people time and time again to save my life. But ever since we became the commanders of our respective armies, The big brother who used to protect me was gone, and only the commander of the Tiger Army who fought with the Wolf Army for credit was left. "
"I have never. . . "
Lu Xinchun waved her hand again and said, "Little sister never thought of fighting with you for anything. No matter what, you will always be the one who saved me and helped me. A good big brother who protects and protects me. I ordered 500 warships and 2,000 cannons. Half of them are for you. I purposely detained Master Lu to find a chance to talk to you. I hope you understand!"
Tears flowed out of Wang Xiaotian's eyes. " Sister, I have been wanting to make a name for myself all these years. But he has neglected our brother-sister relationship. Don't blame big brother. But. . . You also know that the Imperial Court won't allow the two armies to get too close. I have trained an elite force of 2000 men for you, but I have never dared to give it to you. That's right. . . "
Lu Xinchun broke her tears into a smile and said: "I knew that big brother would not be so heartless. Come, let little sister give you a toast. "
Wang Xiaotian pulled Lu Changkong to drink with him and said, "Master Lu, are you interested in joining the Tiger Army? I mean, as the deputy commander of the Tiger and Wolf Troops? "
"Changkong is honored to be able to work with the two commanders. However, the deputy commander's status seemed to be a little too high. Furthermore, I am not willing to be restricted by others. I think it would be better to work with the identities of the two military foreign ministers. "
"I understand that Master Lu wants to maintain his extraordinary status and doesn't want to join the Imperial Court. However, he absolutely can't be a guest official! " Wang Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "The protection of the guest chamberlains between the three armies. Not very thorough. Sometimes, it will even bring a lot of unnecessary trouble. Let's do it this way. Sister and I will hire you as the advisor of the middle troops at the same time. The advisor of the middle troops is actually the personal advisor of the commander of the army. He does not have a military rank. There is no need for the Imperial Court to file a report. The salary will be settled by the commander himself. His identity was different from that of a foreign delegate and he was protected by the army. You will still stay in the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce to do your business. When there is a need, the goods will be provided to the two armies first. We will each send a team of guards to you. When you encounter official matters, the captain of the guards will take care of it with you! "
Lu Changkong nodded and said: "That's good too. We don't want people to find out about it. "
"Alright! Satisfying!" Wang Xiaotian laughed and said, "Come, let's drink to our heart's content and wish us a happy cooperation!"
The news of Lu Changkong officially becoming the strategist of both armies had changed the entire Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce in less than a day. Those who used to disdain to do business with him squeezed into Wei Cunxi's and Mu Menghen's houses one after another. Begging the two of them to meet Lu Changkong had really made the two of them stand out. They were glad that the two of them didn't find the wrong partner. They ruthlessly knocked on the other party's bamboo stick, and only then did they introduce them to Lu Changkong.
With a stable supply of goods, trouble appeared again very quickly. Lu Changkong took over Cabinet Of Cloud and wiped out the two major alchemy sects of Spring Hall, which was the same as taking over the other party's business. It just so happened that the people of Worry Abandoning Sect who were proficient in alchemy were the ones who took over the other party's business. Lu Changkong was the only one who could not meet the demand for pills. He had no choice but to reject a few business deals. The two business deals that were supposed to be expanded were also put on hold.
Lu Changkong, who was so busy, handed the business to Hsiao Yuhan and the others. He returned to the Worry Star and discussed with Bailian Sheng how to speed up the concoction of the pills and other items.
Bailian Sheng, who was far away on the Worry Star, was also at a loss as to what to do. "Although the Edge Refining Hall has also nurtured a group of extremely talented disciples, with their current advancement, they are simply unable to make it to the stage. If they increase the production in a hurry, it is likely that they will ruin their reputation sooner or later. "
Lu Changkong smiled bitterly and nodded. "How is the refinement of the inner armor going?"
"Although Jin Tie gave birth to a few batches of larvae, the production of the gold and silver threads is far from being able to keep up with the refining requirements. Using crystals to catalyze larvae to spit silk is very easy to cause the death of large numbers of golden silkworms. The method of killing golden silkworms to retrieve eggs is not enough!"
Bailian Sheng once again said the bad news. "Also, the appetite of the Flying Suan Ni is too shocking. Our Grievance Star has no way of rearing spirit beasts. The food is completely purchased by Tianfeng. The debt I owe Mu Huxing is also increasing, causing me to feel a bit embarrassed to speak. "
Lu Changkong nodded and said: "Wait until the first batch of the ITEM3 Star Cannons is delivered, then return a portion of the debt first! Can we consider recruiting a batch of disciples? "
"I've also considered this problem! After weighing it over and over again, I still feel that it's not easy to recruit disciples. " Bailian Sheng analyzed, "Firstly, our Worry Abandoning Sect is currently in the limelight. It is inevitable that the big tree attracts the wind, and there are many people who secretly covet the secrets of our sect. If we rashly recruit disciples, it will be easy for someone to spy on us. Once some of the insider information of the Worry Abandoning Sect was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Secondly, it was very difficult to find a disciple among the infants. Most of the children with talent had been selected. The manpower and resources needed to find a disciple had been invested. It is not something we can bear right now. Furthermore, there is no one in ten thousand miles who can have such achievements in ten years like you! It will take at least fifty years, even though fifty years is not a long time. We can't afford to wait now!"
"That's a problem!" Lu Changkong's expression also became slightly bitter.
The two of them were at a loss as to what to do when a Worry Abandoning Sect disciple suddenly barged in and said loudly, "The sect leader is not good!"
"What happened?" Lu Changkong and Bailian Sheng stood up at the same time.
"I don't know why, but a deposit beast ran out of the protective array and kept reproducing in the desert. There are countless deposit beasts outside!"
"What!?" Lu Changkong was shocked. "Gather all the disciples of the Hengdao Hall. All of them, follow me!"
Lu Changkong took the lead and flew out of the formation. He looked down from above. What he saw was a wriggling brown ocean. Countless of deposit beasts covered hundreds of miles of the desert. On one side, they were devouring the sand and soil, and on the other side, they were splitting and reproducing at a shocking speed.
"Find a way to isolate the spiritual senses of the metal beasts!"
"There's no way to isolate it!" Bailian Sheng also flew over and said, "There are too many of them, and we don't have enough people. Even if we cut off their spiritual sense, we can't keep so many golden beasts. Let's kill them!"
Lu Changkong gritted his teeth and said, "Kill!"
As soon as the word "kill" came out, hundreds of ITEM3 Star Cannons aimed at the sea of beasts below and fired at the same time. The lightning rain that was attracted by the ITEM3 Star Cannon was like a light blue carpet in the sky as it fell down along the seams of the sand pit. The sky was filled with sand and scattered corpses. While the heavenly lightning was rolling in midair, before it could hit the ground. . . It was blasted into powder by the lightning in the air. No blood could be seen in the rain of lightning, and no miserable screams could be heard. There was only the stench of burnt corpses. Accompanied by the deafening sound of thunder, the corpses floated in the air.
In the distance, Yellow Spring Hall threw down countless rapidly spinning black blade balls. From the angle of the sand, they were swept into the sand pit and turned into meat paste with the joints of a few metal-deposit beasts that wanted to escape. The small beasts that were running behind them were splashed with blood all over their heads. Shangguan Buzheng narrowed his eyes and stood at the edge of the sand pit with a murderous look on his face. The black saber light behind him was like a god of death descending to the world. He waved his arm. Dozens of blade balls that were flickering with black light rolled down along the edge of the pit in a row. After landing on the ground, the ground was also rolled up by three feet. With the momentum of ten thousand troops charging, They advanced side by side at a rapid speed. How could the secret weapon of Yellow Spring Hall, 'Wind Blade Blood Wave', be something that flesh and blood could resist? It's a vast expanse. The whirlwind carried the flesh and blood and formed several whirlpools in the air. Among the countless corpses of the deposit beasts, dozens of streaks of fresh blood splashed out.
In an instant, countless deposit beasts were killed by them. Lu Changkong was about to order the fire to burn the bodies when he saw the blood pool in the sand pit, which was dozens of feet deep, suddenly fall to the ground. Not long after, a city was revealed.
"There's a city underground?"
Lu Changkong was stunned. "Order Yuchi Master to seal off the Worryfree Star. No one is allowed to enter. Otherwise, kill without hesitation. The rest of the people, watch the door. I'll go down and take a look! "
"Changkong, wait a moment!"
Before Bailian Sheng could finish his words, Lu Changkong had already jumped to the top of the city wall. When he wanted to look back at Bailian Sheng again, a black curtain blocked his view.
