Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 191 Evil Crystal

Seventeen villages were searched and rescued, and fourteen people were rescued. Among them was a young mother who was half crazy because her baby died of illness.

From the mouths of these survivors, we learned that most of them were captured by people with green eyes.These people also used bluffing techniques for a time, claiming that they were magicians from Qintian Prison, and asked the people in Nongzhai to cooperate with them.

But you are the King of Heaven. You don’t want people to farm, but you want to take people to a certain place. If you don’t give a clear explanation, people can’t agree!Are you here to coax a fool?

As a result, these people showed their evil looks, and then basically nothing happened.

A group of farmers were tricked by armed men into opening the village gate, and they were unprepared. How could they have any chance of winning?

That is to say, there are very few people in this area who are honest, cowardly, eager and dare to fight for their lives. This gives some people some time to hide.

You definitely can't escape by running. The shortcomings of the village are now revealed. Once you keep your mouth shut, the next step is to catch the turtle in the urn.

It's just that some people took precautions, such as those who built walls and secret rooms at home, and were lucky enough to hide in time at critical moments, so they escaped disaster.

The large quantities of grain, livestock, etc. in the farm were naturally looted.

But the looting was not careful, so the survivors were able to pick up some food.

However, they did not live peacefully. In their words, some monsters they had never seen before appeared around them.

Zhou Yi also encountered the evil dog, a very deformed thing.

The hair on the body has fallen off, and the pink and greasy skin is unevenly covered with glowing evil tumors, which are similar to the second-order aberrations. The mouth becomes pointed and elongated, just like the mouth of Archaeopteryx.

And it has two rat-like tails.

This just hit Zhou Yi's diaphragm point.

Among the many tails, the tails of maggots and mice were the ones he disliked seeing the most, as the sight of them made him feel sick.

Therefore, they didn't bother to study it and just used the evil evil talisman to send it to ashes.

It is worth mentioning that the blood demon in the evil dog's body is not as inabsorbable as that in the aberration monster's body. Therefore, its death effect is a puff of flying ash bursting, not the bursting of scarlet light mist.

In addition to evil dogs, there are bone spine mice. They are called this name because these original voles are not only comparable in size and weight to Labradors, but also inexplicably have characteristics similar to Jun Ma Lu's bone veins. , not only did the spinal bones break out of the body, but there were also bone spurs all over.

In addition, these skeletal rats can also flick their tails to fling bone spurs like darts.

In Zhou Yi's opinion, this is not the most exaggerated.

The most exaggerated part is that he saw the monkey version of the werewolf, the rat man!

The rickets, anti-joints, sharp teeth and claws, and fast and vigorous movements... Apart from the fact that the Rat Man reminds a boy of about sixteen or seventeen, he is basically the same as the Werewolf, like a product shrunk three times from the same mold.

Of course, there are still differences in the details of the tail and head.

Zhou Yi was naturally surprised. The autopsy found that the Rat Man's body contained the flesh and blood essence of the Lan people.

The so-called flesh and blood essence can be understood as an extraordinary version of genes.

In other words, these rat people are mostly created by artificial crossbreeding.

Zhou Yi naturally thought of the flesh and blood laboratory in Green Island Prison.

Then he turned away to check on the snake man again.

Snake people did not appear after the great disaster. They existed very early. Zhou Zhuo and the others were not sure whether snake people were a specialty of Haidong Road or whether they were born after people from the Lan Kingdom immigrated here for a period of time.

Because it was born so early and has been reproduced for countless generations, it is difficult to verify.

Zhou Yi also combined the means of technology to vaguely discover some clues.

It seems that snake people are also like rat people.

This discovery once again plunged Zhou Yi into confusion.

He couldn't figure out why the Evil Chess Party was so keen on developing biological weapons.
It felt like he was fighting against some powerful force, and he was very impatient, so he used whatever means he could to exploit the special characteristics of the Lan people's bloodline to develop weapons like crazy.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of the issue of blood evil that he had focused on before.

"Could there be an equally evil third-party force competing with the Evil Chess Party?"

In addition to the evil dog and the bone-spine rat, Zhou Yi also saw the evil crystal in Zhou Zhuo's mouth.

This kind of crystal has gradually become known to people since the Lan Kingdom began to change.

Because the evil crystal is the magical energy that drives change.

There were dedicated people who studied it and used its power, thus creating firecrackers and artillery.

There are also self-propelled carts and self-propelled ships powered by it.

It is this series of new energy technologies that promotes the continued rapid growth of Lan Country's economy.

At that time, it was not called the evil crystal, but the green crystal.

However, green crystal does not only have benefits and no disadvantages.

Arashi Kingdom officials have repeatedly warned ordinary people not to try to play with such extraordinary items in private.If you have to come into contact with it, you should also take precautions, because the energy radiation of green crystal is harmful to the human body.

More than ten years later, some rumors spread in society that the Lan Kingdom turned the snow-covered plateau into a barren land in order to plant green crystals.

The Snowy Plateau is to the northwest of the Lan Kingdom. Since more than a thousand years ago, the people on the land where the Lan Kingdom is located have been fighting against the nomads with the Snowy Plateau as the boundary.

Because apart from the snow-covered plateau, there is no decent natural barrier in the northwest of the Lan Kingdom. If it is occupied by nomads, as long as they are willing, they can charge downhill and enter the fertile hinterland of the Lan Kingdom in a few days.

Planting green crystals will make the land extremely barren and become a barren land where life cannot survive.

But the people of Lan country ignored this danger.

Others say that it would be a good idea to become a barren land, so that if the nomads want to cross the border, they will have to experience the hardship of living without water and grass for several days.

Nomadic peoples generally launch southern invasions with livestock, and livestock are their food rations.

They are not like the people of the Lan State, who have developed manufacturing industries and have special fleets of large transport vehicles. They have very few large trucks and do not have special trucks to pull fodder for their livestock. They have to drive their livestock wherever they go and where they eat.

If we are gnawing on the water and grass in the barren land, if we are blocked in such a place and spend ten or eight days, how can we still have the ability to invade south?

However, the people of Lan Kingdom paid a heavy price for their choice.

Zhou Zhuo said that one phenomenon after the disaster was that evil spirits planted green crystals everywhere.That is, after the catastrophe, the green crystal was renamed the evil crystal.

As a time traveler, Zhou Yi's understanding of the evil crystal is an extraordinary version of Tiberium.

Tiberium is the mysterious energy source in the game {Command & Conquer}.

It is the handiwork of a Scrin person.

The Scrin people established an observation post in the solar system and waited silently for the development of humans on Earth. After humans had a population of billions, the Scrin people thought it was time to harvest.

So Tiberium minerals were released through meteorites falling from the sky.

In the words of Dr. Mobius: From a molecular perspective, it is a non-carbon-based substance.It seems to contain a large amount of ferrous iron, and there is an energy that can cause non-resonant and irreversible effects on the molecular structure of carbon-based substances.

At the same time, there are unbalanced positrons on its 1st, 2nd, and 9th rings.Therefore we can say that there are infinitely many possible molecular structures of Tiberium.

Green crystalline Tiberium is the most common subspecies in quality classification.

Known ingredients: - Phosphorus 42.50% - Iron 32.50% - Calcium 15.20% - Copper 5.75% - Silicon dioxide 2.50% - Unknown 1.50%
This substance is lethal to all carbon-based life forms.To put it simply, once people are infected, they will also become mines.

To put it more broadly, everything can be mined.

It can destroy the natural ecosystem and make the planet as barren as the surface of Mars. There will be no humus, only waste soil and dust.

Precisely because he was so impressed by this setting, the current evil crystal reminded Zhou Yi of Tiberium.

To be honest, he didn't want this crystal to be researched and manufactured by the Evil Chess Party.

If we say that, it means once again that the opponent's technical skills are at least three levels higher than his.

When he was still researching the core technology of the Fuchuan World Machine, and thinking about using Tiangang Disha as nuclear fuel, and then generating a huge amount of clean energy as production power, he was already able to swallow the sky and the earth, reversing Shaoyin's pattern and becoming the sun's pattern. .

Even if this reversal comes at the cost of destroying the world of life and is a one-time return to the light, it is still vigorous and effective, and it is accompanied by the sentence: I will not care about the flood after I die.

Isn't that what a bad guy is?
In short, the evil chess party's energy problem was solved in a way that made Zhou Yi envious and jealous.Destructive mining, no shortage of money!
The appearance of the evil crystal is full of fantasy, with light and mist surrounding it, like a flame, accompanied by snakes and lightning scurrying around.People call it the evil flame.

The ground was also infected by its power, forming luminous cracks, like lava that was barely solidified, and light could still be revealed from the cracks.

Moreover, once the creature gets close, it can cause the evil crystal to vibrate, and then shoot out arcs to attack the target.

Being electrocuted by it is much more serious than being scratched by the aberration.It will immediately cause energy pollution, which is similar to encountering excessive radiation.

Because of this, people often hide far away, leaving them with almost no natural enemies and allowing them to grow fully.

Long-range strikes, such as trebuchets and bed crossbows, can strike, but they are meaningless. If you don't clean them up, they will grow back soon.

Even with a rough cleanup, they will still regenerate like weeds.

Unless the land in the area is already very barren, it won't grow anymore.This thing cannot grow simply by absorbing sunlight.

Faced with such a difficult crystal cluster with astonishing growth potential, Zhou Yi's method of removing evil spirits was extremely effective.His formation currently happens to be the Shali series specialization.

Since it is about energy acquisition, there is nothing wrong with investing in it.Zhou Yi just used the transformed spiritual power to infect the materials, and then refined them into an array device.

The Three Talents Transform Evil Formation.Once the magic circle was completed, all the evil crystal clusters were squeezed out in minutes.

Therefore, on this day, not many people were saved, but a lot of evil crystals were cleaned up.

There are also some aberrations, evil dogs and the like.

Another surprise was the recovery of two heroic spirits.

They are a father and son, the father is Gao Cai and the son is Gao Jie.

Gao Cai is a famous knight of this generation. He was originally a soldier. He committed a crime and was sent here. Later, he couldn't stand the arrogance, so he gave up his identity as a citizen of the Lan Kingdom and became a gangster.

Although his household is dark, he is well loved by the locals because of his deeds.

In the end, he died of illness.

His son Gao Jie has also been exposed to it since he was a child. He has the skills inherited from his family, is proficient in bow and horse, and has a strong ability in martial arts. However, he is not as upright as Gao Cai and is a bit dissolute.

Lobbling is a lifestyle habit, and his character is quite good. He also helps those in distress and gives away wealth, but he robs the rich and gives to the poor more than his father. He is a person wanted by the government all year round.

However, there are too many real bad guys in Haidong Road to catch them, and no one wants to trouble Gao Jie.

In the end, this guy was tricked by his promiscuous nature and slept with someone else's concubine. As a result, he fell into a trap and died a bit miserably.

Through communicating with the father and son, Zhou Yi learned that the main reason why the two can become Yin spirits is that they both practice the secret arts handed down from their ancestors.

It can be said that he is a very rare practitioner who pays attention to soul cultivation like Zhouyi.

Of course, the quality of the skills is a bit low, and this is just one cultivation skill, and the rest are all mortal martial arts.

There happened to be two bodies of corpse generals left in Zhouyi's place, and now they had a master.

Moreover, these two people are local bugs and know the geographical terrain of this area and even Haidong Road very well. Zhou Yi simply let them use their special skills to investigate intelligence.

In this way, he can save a lot of precious time to do other things, such as refining weapons and creating things.In this way, we can get through the stage of starting a business with nothing but waste as soon as possible.

And once the father and son discover multiple valuable targets, he will be more targeted and connect these targets in one train instead of wandering around to look at their faces.

After becoming a Youjiang in the growth stage, Gao Cai provided an important piece of information with great awareness.

Burial Hill.

Gao Cai said that the Lan people originally practiced the custom of 'tree burial'.

After death, special medicines are applied and injected to speed up degradation.

And this medicine, from a certain perspective, can be regarded as a different kind of coffin. The medicine used by the rich and powerful is higher than that used by ordinary people.

Because the next relief of the tree burial is the stage of competition between medicines.

The dead exist as tree fertilizers, and if the tree can reach the sky, this is a good sign, which means that it can bless future generations.

Therefore, many people are willing to spend money on medicine for this good omen.

Gao Cai also pointed out that there are many small woods that can be seen everywhere in this mesa area.

That's actually equivalent to piles of tombs.

Then, this custom changed after the revolution.

The official of the Lan Kingdom issued a notice to force the burial, similar to a mummy, to be embalmed, a thin coffin, and then placed in a stone niche on the funeral mountain like a cargo.

From the perspective of hindsight, it is clear that the evil chess party is plotting the blood of these dead people, intending to use them as a puppet factory after the uprising.

Zhou Yi agreed with Gao Cai's analysis.

Therefore, he planned to go to Burial Mountain after returning the rescued people to Glory Castle.

However, returning to Glory Castle, Zhou Zhuo told him that there was a problem with the drinking water.

In the past, Glory Castle relied on wind-powered water pumps to pump water for drinking.

But because the Fort of Glory was destroyed, the wind pump was also destroyed.

So for a long time, the only option was to fetch water from a nearby river.

This is neither efficient nor safe.

Now that Zhou Yi has appeared, the vicious cycle of the survivors of Glory Castle has been ended.

After having a full meal yesterday, I have the energy to work today.

Zhou Zhuo organized manpower to sort out the broken contracts, including barely repairing the windmill.As a result, the water that came out was extremely fishy.

Zhou Zhuo judged based on experience that this was probably because the underground water source was polluted and it was done by the snake man.

Then, Zhou Yi learned from Zhou Zhuo that the Glory Castle not only had parts similar to the underground library and dungeon, but also a lower-level dark cave system.

"There is a danger lurking below where you live. How can you live safely? Are you not afraid of being attacked at night and catching turtles in a jar?"

Zhou Zhuo said somewhat impressively: "At least the name behind the high wall here is still bluffing..."

Zhou Yi shook his head and said in his heart: "It's just comfort in my heart. Who can be frightened by the name of Glory Castle now? The evil chess party or the ancient Luo barbarians?"

So he said: "I have gathered more than ten Yin Ling Cultivators to rebuild their homes on Maogongdu.

The city walls there are still intact, and the interior has been burned to a white ground, but on the other hand, the white paper is easy to draw on.

I noticed that there were still a few scuttled ships in the water. When I have free time, I have a way to fish them out and reuse them.

By then, Maogongdu will be a more suitable place to live. The ground is really dangerous, and you can also get on a boat to escape on the water for a while.

I will also regain the nearby fishing island occupied by snake people. After the lighthouse there is reused, extraordinary detection can be added to detect large changes on the water.

At that time, even if the snake people invade from the waterway, they can get an early warning.

In addition, I will also set up a magic circle in Maogongdu. The magic circle can not only cover up the internal scene, but also provide some extraordinary blessing effects to the town, and can also attack targets in the sky with thunder.

In this way, the threat from the sky that you have been worried about will be solved. "

Zhou Zhuo replied: "If this is true, Maogongdu is indeed more livable than here. Most of the stone chambers here do not see sunlight all year round, and are damp and cold. In the past, they used to use braziers with added ingredients to cook them to keep the cold away. How can there be that now? condition."

In fact, the disadvantages of using Glory Castle as a base are not limited to these.

This is Chujun Fort. Occupying this place is, from a certain perspective, a silent declaration. A force has set up a flagpole.

But even if it is a civil force, if it wants to stand the flagpole, it must be baptized. The Gu Luo people, the Evil Chess Party, and other unknown forces may attack.

To put it bluntly, although the military fortress is good, it is also ugly. Without diamonds, it is best not to take the porcelain job.

Zhou Zhuo understands these principles, but the survivors were still a little angry in the early stage. In the later stage, they lived day by day and were unable to move even if they wanted to. How could they care about that?

Now that Zhou Yi has provided a safe place to go, Zhou Zhuo is confident that he can do a good job in mobilizing.

Therefore, the survivors collectively migrated to Maogongdu, which was basically agreed upon.

When the facilities at Maogong Ferry made some progress and were ready for repairs, Zhou Zhuo took people there to participate in the construction.

It happened to be a good time to do some persuasive work for migration in the past few days. At the same time, people also had a few good meals to recuperate.

In this case, the safety risks of the dark cave system should not be solved in a hurry.

Zhouyi is currently mainly short of coolies, be it ghosts or zombies. If we need more to build infrastructure, the longer we delay, the less good the results will be.

So even though the sun was setting in the west, he still took a trip to Burial Mountain.

Burial Mountain is due east of Maogongdu and northeast of Glory Fort. The mountain is not high, rising more than a hundred meters from the ground. It has gentle slopes on three sides and a steep side. The entrance is on the steep side. There are three characters etched on the cliff: Rest Hall.

There were a large number of aberrant monsters nearby, and Zhou Yi felt that this meant that he had come to the right place.

The Evil Chess Party is frantically exploding troops for unknown reasons.

Therefore, although the situation is already established and huge, every bit of military power is precious. If the 'arsenal' were not still in operation, there would not be so many guards, even low-level ones.

After all, the people of the Lan Kingdom have a special bloodline, which means they have the potential to dig deeper.

Since the crazy cultivation of evil crystals is not short of money at all, as long as you have enough time and energy, you can make these aberration monsters artificially advanced, second and third levels, and pile up hard.

On the other hand, every individual is valuable.All have war potential.

The actual situation naturally affected Zhou Yi's thinking.

He had previously despised these low-level puppets that had been transformed by the evil chess party's crude methods. They were low-cost and unseemly, and were not suitable for a noble poor man like him.

Now, since the Sancai Evil Formation is very effective, it means that the Evil Crystal Field of the Evil Chess Party is his granary, and he can harvest it happily while cursing under the banner of justice.

The future is bright and we are not short of money, but we are short of people. What should we do?

Naturally, the big ones are pulled out of the radish, and the crooked melons and jujubes must be used as they should!

Therefore, Zhou Yi planned to be the lifelong enemy of the Evil Chess Party, not only robbing energy sources, but also robbing corpses!

　The last month of 22 years was not going well. On the 8th, I had a stomach flu, and the illnesses came and went, causing pharyngitis. However, I couldn't rest normally at night when I coughed, and I was groggy all day long, and my mind was not clear.Some friends said that I might be positive, but I actually hope so. After all, getting through it is more effective than getting vaccinated. It can be regarded as building a virus bank.But the symptoms are really atypical, not fatigue, skin pain, fever, swallowing saliva like swallowing razor blades, mainly dry cough, taking a lot of heat-clearing, cough-relieving, and cough-relieving medicines, and there is no obvious improvement. As time goes by, I gradually get better. Although I still wake up coughing at night, I can at least sleep for two hours continuously, and then slowly fall asleep again.So in the new year, I especially hope that I can have a good start, and I also wish all readers good luck, good health and success.
