Lord of Rot

Chapter 153 This Man of Steel
In the dense forest, the five strictly protected griffin grasses have matured, and they look exactly the same as the one Li Qi got in the bear cave last year.

With the existence of extraordinary bees before, he put more thought into protection, not only to prevent small animals, but also to prevent mosquitoes.

If one day an extraordinary mosquito appeared and used it to act freely in winter, it would definitely be a disaster!
Fortunately no problems occurred.

He gently dug up the soil with his hands, and dug out one of them. The magic herb may have the technology of transplanting and storing, but Li Qi has not mastered it, so he can only hope that the remaining four magic herbs will wither later. , at least until he finds four more cost-effective corpses to make extraordinary ghouls.

After returning to Porcupine Fort, he began to prepare medicines, completely following the contents recorded in the book.

Add auxiliaries, steep, and distill in a small still.

The water vapor gathered through the iron pipe, and fell into the small bowl that Li Qi had prepared in advance.

After a while, a bowl has been collected, and the ointment in the pot is completely dry and mushy.

Mix a part of the herbal medicine reserved in advance with the distilled potion to form a somewhat dilute ointment.

All the preparatory work has been completed, Li Qi took off his clothes, took a shower, and then called the personal servant Pitchfork to apply medicine for him.

The brush was lightly dipped in the ointment, and swept across Li Qi's back, leaving a wet mark.

boom!
A hot feeling poured into Li Qi's body.

His back seemed to be attached to a red-hot stove.

He trembled slightly.

"My lord, are you alright?" Pitchfork was very worried and did not dare to continue applying the medicine.

"Continue!" Li Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!"

With the order of the lord, Pitchfork could only obediently continue to apply the ointment.

Another brush, covering most of his back, the blazing heat almost engulfed him.

In the pain, Li Qi found that a strange power really seemed to pour into his body, but this power didn't stay for too long, it directly poured into his body, and penetrated into his bones and flesh and blood.

Under the skin, blood vessels swelled up, and his muscles stretched, as if he had turned into a monster with swollen muscles.

After applying the potion, Pitchfork left the room, and Li Qi had to resist it for the rest of the time.

The place where the ointment was applied was red, but after the hot feeling disappeared, the skin quickly returned to normal.

After the enduring application of medicine, Li Qi waited until the burning sensation completely disappeared.

but……

Li Qi looked in the mirror.

"Muscle Monster" Li Qi looked at his body.

A handsome face grew on an exaggerated body that was extremely inconsistent with the face.

"Nezha?"

He reached out and gestured on his head: "I seem to have grown taller."

The arms hang down naturally, but they cannot be put down and can only be hung. This is the "hidden back" caused by overdeveloped back muscles.

Is this a success, or a failure?

Absorbed the energy of the ointment, but turned into an exaggerated muscular man.

"This body is as strong as tempered steel." He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Li Qi held his breath and tried to use the experience he gained from Aina, the extraordinary ghoul, on himself.

Extraordinary power is a special power that exists in the body.

Maybe it exists in the bones and muscles now, and I should guide it to make the power flow more regular. It's easy to say, but without Aina's experience, Li Qi probably can only maintain a state of exaggeration.

Breathe, adjust the body.

Looking in the mirror, Li Qi could clearly see his body shrinking. At first, he looked like a water polo filled with too much water, but now he finally found a chance to vent his body. His body shrunk as if deflated, and soon returned to normal.

Those powers didn't disappear, but circulated and hidden in his body.

In the feeling, this kind of power is different from spiritual power, even different from that of the extraordinary ghoul Aina.

Probably different in nature?Aina's abilities tend to be self-recovery, while Li Qi's, currently manifested physically, will make him very strong.

"But it has indeed grown taller." Li Qi took a pair of pants and put them on, lifting them to his waist.

Looking down, the trousers turned into cropped trousers.

Changes to the bone cannot be reversed.

Fortunately, it's just a little taller, not a tall one.

The sleeves are also shorter.

At dusk, the tailor entered the castle with a small box.

In Li Qi's room.

"At your age, it's normal to continue growing your body." The tailor said while measuring Li Qi's size, "Maybe you don't pay attention to it, which means that your body is very healthy and your figure is really good. Those sculptures People will be crazy about your body."

The tailor did not hesitate to praise him, and he was telling the truth, he had never seen a man with a figure like Li Qi.

Li Qi accepted the compliment with a smile.

He used to have a good figure, but because he didn't disconnect often, his body fat was a bit high.

Now the body muscles are controlled by "magic" and become just right, like a sculpture.

The former "dragging" local residents also turned into hot ghouls because of the effect of the potion.

"I need all the new clothes from summer to winter, as well as boots. I feel that my feet are bigger." Li Qi said his request: "Try to keep it as simple as possible, and don't put too many decorations."

"Of course, my lord!" The tailor nodded hastily.

The previous clothes were either bad, or a little too fancy, so I just took this opportunity to change them all.

Li Qi lived relatively frugally. Although he had some money in his hand, he only ordered 30 sets of clothes in the end. Among them, a few dresses accounted for the majority, and the working hours were long, complicated and expensive.

Total cost, 3 gold days.

An excellent war horse is gone!
He is already considered an aristocrat with a low-to-middle level of consumption. As far as he knows, the wife of Boll II has 27 dresses, and she changes one dress every day. She will wear it for [-] years, and as far as Li Qi knows, the queen The total number of skirts is still increasing steadily. Every year, people will give her skirts for festivals, birthdays, dances, etc. I am afraid that the queen will not be able to wear her clothes in her lifetime.

More than 1 skirts have also become a good talk among the nobles.

It is quite normal for ordinary nobles to own hundreds, hundreds or even thousands of pieces of clothing.

There are only 30 sets. It can be said that Li Qi is simply a nobleman who is diligent and thrifty in managing his family.

……

On the training ground, the soldiers got together and changed their equipment.

Under the order, they all put on full body armor.

After successfully laying down the headland crypt, Li Qi spent a large sum of money in it. The blacksmith factory, mason construction team, carpenter workshop, brick kiln factory, etc. all increased their investment and the scale increased dramatically.

Only some old and weak civilians are still farming, and all the younger ones work in these departments.

Of course, a large sum of money was exchanged for a hundred soldiers of the terrifying porcupine collar, all of whom were replaced with Zhajia in a short period of time.

Zhajia is not gorgeous, and it can even be said that it is a bit too plain, but when it comes to the degree of sturdiness and grass resistance, it is no different from the exquisitely crafted Zhajia.

Li Qi's idea is very simple, just put on a smock outside.

The cost is already so low, it would be too much to ask for all kinds of elaborate carvings. If you have the performance, don't ask too much about the appearance. The porcupine collar pays attention to cost performance.

Li Qi once again took the "Cavalry Captain" as a reward, and planned to use the soldiers to study his own strength after stepping into the extraordinary.

He was worried that there would be a mistake in his control of strength, and it would be bad if he killed someone, so he asked the soldiers to put on the thickest armor.

I still remember the feeling of being beaten by Stacey at that time. At that time, Li Qi, who thought that among ordinary people, his combat effectiveness was considered average, was also sent flying in front of Stacey.

Stacy's control of power is meticulous, and she can even suppress it to the same level as ordinary people, but she is still in the groping stage.

Aina's extraordinary power is healing and poison, so there are not many references.

Li Qi grabbed a two-handed sword.

Shaking, a little light.

If there is no length limit, it can be used as a one-handed sword.

"It seems that I want to build myself a weapon with a good weight," Li Qi secretly said.

"First come a group"

He is more conservative, so let two soldiers try first.

Two soldiers in armor and helmets with nose protection came out.

When walking, it drives the metal friction.

The foot stepped on the ground, and the voice was muffled.

After Quick Blade yelled "Start", the two of them separated one from the left and the other from the right, and attacked in a flanking manner.

Armored all over, armed to the teeth.

The lord is only wearing simple protective gear, how can he lose this battle?
After the last fight, they had studied it and knew that the lord was only skilled, but in the face of high-quality equipment, the skills were not enough, and the defense could not be broken. What's the use of fancy skills?

It is impossible to lose!

Each of them held a two-handed sword, like two heavily armored metal rhinoceros, they ran towards Li Qi.

Boom, boom, the ground is shaking rapidly.

Li Qi turned around and rushed to the right first, and slashed at the opponent's sword with both hands.

Ka-!
The training two-handed sword made a crisp sound, and then Li Qi pushed the soldier with overwhelming force, and smashed the two swords heavily on his chest. His whole body instantly flew into the air, fell backwards, and crossed a distance. After a distance, it hit the ground heavily.

This scene seemed familiar to Li Qi, but it changed from being beaten to beating others now.

All quiet.

Only the sound of footsteps approaching behind him.

Li Qi quickly turned around and raised his sword to block.

But the training sword had already cracked just now, and after touching it again, the sword broke instantly.

But he also succeeded in flying the two-handed sword in the hands of the sneak attacking soldier, the two-handed sword quickly spun, and "chicked" into the ground.

Li Qi kicked the opponent's chest sideways.

Boom!
Is this the sound of kicking the armor or the sound of the hammer hitting the armor?

A fully armed Zhajia soldier rose into the air again, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled twice before stopping.

"Cough cough!"

Two soldiers took off their helmets and coughed into their chests.

"I lost!"

Resolutely admit defeat.

"I also admit defeat!"

Being hit by Li Qi was like being hit by a knight charging with a lance, and he felt dizzy after being hit.

Li Qi also roughly understood his extraordinary strength, which was almost as expected, a simple increase in strength.

He casually picked up the two-handed sword on the ground, looked at the silent soldiers, and said, "Come two groups."

Four people came out.

They unanimously chose to resist the shield.

Even though they were fully armed, no one dared to relax. They had already seen the terrifying power of the lord just now, even if they were wearing heavy armor, they might not be able to withstand it.

Four people held shields, their bodies shrunk behind the shields, and surrounded them from all sides, gradually narrowing Li Qi's range of activities.

Li Qi aimed at the soldiers in front of him, and slashed at the shield.

click!
The wooden shield was cut with gaps.

The soldier was knocked backwards, but because the swords in both hands were stuck in the shield, he was pulled to keep leaning, trying to lie down but not falling down.

Seeing this, the other three rushed forward, intending to pinch Li Qi from three directions, trapping him completely to death.

The sword was stuck in the shield and it was difficult to pull out. Li Qi simply let go of the sword. The soldiers in front couldn't use their strength and fell to the ground under the weight of the armor.

Facing the siege from three sides, Li Qi leaped suddenly, split his legs in the air, kicked left and right on the incoming shield, bent his knees slightly, and kicked hard again.

The soldiers on the left and right only saw their shields being sent back by a distance, hitting them, knocking them into the air.

Landing.

The remaining soldier saw the opportunity, and hit Li Qi with his shield.

But Li Qi remained motionless, like an iron wall.

He turned to look at the soldier instead.

then.

"what!"

The last soldier also flew out backwards.

Seeing this, Kuai Ren, who was in armor and eager to try, subconsciously raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead. He really thought he could win just now, and he was about to shout "good".

Fortunately, I held back in time, it was too dangerous!

Quick Blade couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Lord Leard wasn't so scary back then, was he?"

Back then, the porcupine baron Lild was very capable of fighting and fierce, but it didn't mean that he could sweep four fully armed shield-bearing soldiers with brute force by himself, flying one of them with one move.

Only the knight charge can have this kind of terrifying lethality.

"If my lord is riding a horse on the battlefield, who else can stop him?"

Quick Blade tried to place Li Qi in those battles he had experienced before, when Li Qi rode on an armored horse and charged with a spear... Finally he came up with a terrifying answer, invincible!
It is absolutely impossible for anyone to stop him.

One person's bravery does not play a big role in the war, but Quick Blade is sure that if it is a small battle, Li Qi can control the direction by himself.

Even in large-scale battlefields, Li Qi can also be used as the tip of the spear to attack the enemy, and can lead the team to tear apart the local formation.

The lord that the soldiers have privately circulated is a humanoid dragon, which seems really appropriate now.

Li Qi didn't know how the soldiers lamented him in their hearts. Through the siege of four people just now, he found out that two fists were no match for four hands.

It is difficult to rely on one person in war.

An extraordinary person is very precious, but a group of soldiers is not so difficult to gather. What if the heavily armed elite soldiers are replaced by militiamen, and what if the militiamen are replaced by slaves?

Just imagine thousands of militiamen or slaves, suicide attacks, can you stop them?

Unstoppable.

Therefore, unless necessary, you must never fall into a siege, and you can do whatever you can.

"Continue, four groups go together!"
