Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 205 The mountains are treacherous
The farmer is called Liu Shan, and his ancestors have lived on this land for generations.

Zhou Yi was somewhat interested in understanding the drastic changes observed in the eyes of such a pure native.

According to Liu Shan, drastic changes have taken place at the eastern foot of Luowanqun Mountain in the past six months.

Zhou Yi also knew something about this, but he heard it from hearsay. It was the intelligence obtained by the scout team sent by Zhou Zhuo, the leader of the survivors of Fort Glory earlier.

What Liu Shan said was more specific. From the environment and climate to the animals and plants, there have been changes. It is true that the legendary monsters have become reality.

In addition, there is Liu Shan’s mother-in-law Wu Xiunv’s amazing finishing touch.

Wu Xiunv said that these changes were because there was something wrong with the seal in the mountains, and someone was violating taboos and digging up the buried Teng Kingdom.

Zhou Yi asked: "What seal?"

Wu Xiunv said: "Of course it is the seal of heaven."

Zhou Yi suddenly hehe.

God punished him for believing.For example, it destroys vegetation and ecology, leading to soil erosion, climate variability, and land desertification after several rounds of floods, insect disasters, and droughts...

But the seal of heaven is too anthropomorphic.

However, based on the information revealed by Xiao Yu, he believed that someone was causing trouble at the Teng Kingdom ruins.

News one, in this world, the authentic Sanqing Taoist sect is not short of money.There is a way to use the original mysterious power, or the chaotic mysterious power.

As for why Zhouyi, who also belongs to the Sanqing Taoist lineage and is a descendant of the famous Qingwei sect of the Yuqing lineage, is seriously short of money, Xiao Yu also explained it simply and profoundly. In this world, there are no Shangqing and Yuqing sects.

I only heard the name but never saw the reality.

Xiao Yu frankly said that he took the Qingwei Thunder Bead with the intention of cracking down on fraud, but he didn't expect it to be true.Coupled with the side confirmation of the 'transmission condensation type' situation, it is certain that Zhou Yi is special.

The second news is that the Shangqing family is the only one in this world and claims to be orthodox. However, the leader Tongtian’s indiscriminate teachings have laid the foundation for disaster. The monks under his sect are mixed, and traitors have appeared.

The truth of this matter remains to be discussed, and Xiao Yu cannot just say whatever he says.

There is also an analysis by Zhouyi himself: For the high-level cultivators of the Shangqing dynasty who are not short of money or skills, the most precious thing may be their souls.

Once these three pieces of information were combined, it felt like the motive and ability to commit the crime were all in place. Those who dug Teng Guo's grave in Luowan Mountains were probably the traitors Xiao Yu said.

If this is the case, then these traitors are obviously blocking his way.

You know, what he likes about the Luowan Mountains is mainly the undead there.

After all, corpse puppets can only do some clumsy work, and as long as the extraordinary power is sufficient, there is no shortage of substitutes.

For example, in the world of Fuchuan, he learned the art of making puppets from Shangui.

Although it is an inferior skill that has not yet produced the Dharma book in Qingweitang, it can still be done simply to meet the needs of coolies.

Even if you want to be more advanced, you can also use the "Secret Technique of the Heavenly Wheel" to give it activated characteristics and abilities.

But the upper limit of such low-end creations is clearly there. If you want to climb the technological tree, even if you copy the work from a cat to a tiger, you can't rely on puppets.Gotta have wisdom.

The star spirits have almost killed all the humans in this area. It is impossible to collect some ghost spirits, so they can only look for the undead in Luowan Mountain.

The second goal of Zhou Yi's westward march was the mine.

Metal mines, coal mines, etc. are found at the eastern foot of Luowan Mountain, that is, on the side of Glory Castle.

In fact, it was precisely because the minerals in these mountains were rich and of good quality that the Lan Kingdom spent all their energy developing these cursed mountains.

Building mountain roads and building Beigang were all started by the Lan Kingdom after they occupied Haidong Road.

In the entire Haidong Road, the most famous one is Xin'an, known as the Iron City.

There are forests near Xin'an that provide basswood (keels, ribs) and beech wood (hulls) used in building sea ships, as well as high-quality coal mines.

There is also iron ore, but the quality is mediocre. It is precisely because a boatload of ore was transported from Beigang to Xin'an that it was named Iron Capital.

And Glory Castle, to a certain extent, serves as a guard for the iron mines in Luowan Mountains.

In the early days, Hongyun Terrace was the territory of the ancient Luo people.

The ancient Luo people were not stupid. They couldn't live on dry terraces and had to live in swamps where mosquitoes were abundant, miasma was fierce, and it was damp and cold every day.It's just that as the Lan Kingdom expanded its territory, the ancient Luo people had no choice but to migrate to barren mountains and places where humans were not willing to go.

To be fair, the ancient Romans were also pitiable.

But if Zhou Yi's butt is sitting on the human side, there is no way to be fair.

You can't be a traitor, just like the protagonist of Avatar, who is determined to eat inside and outside.Zhou Yi had no interest in living the kind of life where he shouted "Ah, Luo, Luo, Luo" every day while hunting wild beasts and gathering wild fruits.

The mines in the mountains of Luowan are dominated by the Brotherhood, and the undead souls of the Teng Kingdom seem to be secretly exploited by the traitors of the Qing Dynasty.Zhou Yi admitted that the fruits he wanted were not easy to pick.

But here, at least at the eastern foot of the Luowan Mountains, it is basically certain that the power of the stars has not been disgusted.

Specifically, of course, it refers to the evil crystal.

An extraordinary version of Tiberium, a type of crystal cluster where no grass grows, leaving only wasteland.

Zhou Yi would rather face the desert than this kind of wasteland.

If the desert sand and the soil below are close to zero, allowing only limited vegetation such as cacti, sea buckthorn, and Populus euphratica to exist, then the wasteland created by the evil crystal is a negative number.

Just like a nuclear wasteland, if you want to do planting or something, you need to solve the pollution problem first.

How to deal with it?Wherever you fall, get up again with extraordinary strength.

How can he afford to make up for this?When using evil crystals to plunder various resources, there will be a lot of losses, which means that if you want to make up for it, in addition to returning the part of the evil crystals that you plundered, you have to add another [-] to [-]%.

Zhou Yi secretly complained: "Isn't this the energy version of Nine Outs and Thirteen Returns?"

Therefore, if the protoss spirits only commit evil, the mess they create in the wasteland may not even be repairable by those who have a mine at home.

It's good that the eastern foot of Luo Wanqun Mountain has not been attacked by the Star Spirits.

However, there are other problems.

As mentioned above, Zhouyi still pays more attention to the opinions of people like Liu Shan who have lived on this land for generations.

Although their vision is relatively narrow, even though they are uneducated and interpret some natural phenomena in terms of gods and goddesses that they can self-consistently interpret, they still have value.

Combined with Liu Shan's statement, Zhou Yi believed that the Luowan Mountains seemed to be under the full influence of the tide of extraordinary power.

This kind of tide is at the invisible level of an elephant, and with his current level of cultivation, he is not able to feel it directly.

But it is reflected in details such as drastic changes in the environment and changes in animals and plants.

In Liu Shan's words: "I never dreamed that one day I would see wild boars that were made huge by bulls. I can't even imagine what they eat on weekdays!"

In fact, not only wild boars, but also carrion birds, wild bees, etc. have all grown to huge sizes.

Not only is it huge, it also has an armament effect, such as the growth of hard shells, bone spurs, fangs, etc. Zhou Yi has only seen similar descriptions in rumors, calling it atavism and prehistoric transformation.

There must be a reason for this drastic change. If it is not the distortion caused by the evil crystal, it can only be the effect of the tide of supernatural power.Anyway, it won't be without reason, especially this is not an isolated case, but almost everything changes.

In fact, people are changing too.

Liu Shan said that there are mutated people in Dashu Valley, some were recruited by the fraternity, and some relied on becoming stronger, not willing to be exploited by the fraternity, and went out to make a living.

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi happened to rescue Liu Shan's family in Dashu Valley this time, and then used it as a medium to search out more than 20 families.

These were originally the residents of Big Tree Valley. Under the pressure of the Brotherhood, the farmers have basically changed their jobs to become mountain people. They are all hiding in the nearby mountains. They are looking at the spring with melancholy, but the land cannot be planted, and the days are going to be long. How's it going?

As a result, he was deceived by Zhou Yi and went to the Panshi Army's territory.

Maogongdu is still short of people.

Although there is a difference between growing vegetables and growing grains, they are all farming after all, so the transition is not difficult.

Zhou Yi didn't intend to give up. He visited Dashu Valley himself. The land was fertile and there was no shortage of water. It was indeed OK.

But due to the influence of the supernatural tide, this place is no longer the land that the locals are familiar with.

Playing in the experimental field is risky.

Taking into account the current situation of the Panshi Army, Zhou Yi finally decided to focus on development and avoid spreading the stall too big.

Big Tree Valley is not far from Glory Castle, but Zhou Yi regards Glory Castle as a border fortress, and the area from Wanquan River to Glory Castle is a natural field battlefield.

Once the second stage of the small quiet capital is completed, the third stage, along the Wanquan River, can establish the western barrier.

He always felt that the Luowan Mountains were a strange place hiding inexplicable dangers.

And his intuition has not been wrong so far.

Therefore, no matter what the Brotherhood dug up, or the rebels from the Qing Dynasty dug up, or disturbed anything, there will eventually be some extraordinary events going on here, and it will be temporarily unsuitable for living.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's giving up on Big Tree Valley.

This place can be regarded as a rare good place at the foot of Luowanqun Mountain, and the location is good, it can be used as a forward base.

So in the next few days, Zhou Yi was busy with this advanced base.

After all, the incarnation of the blood evil can't be compared with itself. This incarnation is just a man-beater.

A simple arrangement of a rune stone array requires the use of corresponding utensils.

The arrangement this time is the Sancai Yin-Yang Rotation Array, which is designed to cater to the extraordinary tide. It is guided by the extraordinary power he invested and the power of the lunar calendar as the source, forming an effect similar to plant photosynthesis.

At night, the power of the moon is gathered, and this power will turn into a gravitational force that absorbs the power of the sun during the day.And in the process of this yin and yang movement, the power of the tide of extraordinary power is enveloped and absorbed.

Since the elephant is intangible, it means that it is scattered and thin, so if the cultivation level is not enough, there will be no clear perception. Only through the magic circle and increasing the power can it be fed back.

Facts have also proved that extraordinary tides do exist, but they are weaker than Zhou Yi expected.

Zhou Yi was suspicious of this.

The power of animals and plants has undergone tremendous changes in just half a year. It cannot be done without sufficient stimulation of extraordinary power, even if all the creatures in this area theoretically have the blood of the true god.

So, why is this place unable to reflect the power of the surging tide?

Is it because these towering mountains act as a barrier?Or is the 'Heaven's Seal' in Wu Xiunv's mouth coming into play?

Obviously, the answer can only be revealed by going into the mountains yourself.

However, before Zhou Yi could go further, the Brotherhood came to raid again.

Zhou Yi felt puzzled: "Didn't we just meet him a few days ago? Even if he is hunting, he still has to be given some time!"

The leader of the Brotherhood was dressed in a very eye-catching way. He had shoulder pads and a helmet. He was blessed with extraordinary power and was glowing with flames, as if he was burning.

He stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates from shouting for food, looked Zhou Yi up and down, and asked: "Who are you?"

Due to the full blood energy, the air around the body is almost distorted by the invisible blood evil fluctuations. Therefore, ordinary people with stronger senses can detect the unusual appearance of the blood evil incarnation. They feel that just standing there, there is an unspeakable wave. of power.

Not to mention that Zhou Yi's calm demeanor and high-spirited temperament are obviously different from those villagers who shrink back and dodge when they see officials and bandits.

"I came from Glory Castle." Zhou Yi told the truth.

The face of the leader of the Brotherhood changed color slightly. The Brotherhood is not blind. Glory Castle is what they lack. They know what it will look like after it is burned.

A few months ago, the dilapidated Fort of Glory had once again become a dragon and a tiger, even more majestic than before. They knew that there was a powerful new owner there.

After all, without sufficient manpower and material resources, it is impossible for a military fortress to complete repairs, renovations and expansions so quickly.

The leader asked tentatively: "Do you know Zhou Zhuo from Glory Castle?"

"know."

"Didn't Zhou Zhuo tell you that the Brotherhood has an agreement with him that the water in the well does not interfere with the river?" He said, looking around wildly.
Zhou Yixin said: "Oh, I feel that the situation is not good, so I remembered the agreement."

He smiled and said: "No need to look for it, it's just me. But it's enough."

The leader of the Brotherhood immediately realized that it would be difficult to be kind today, and the idea of ​​​​strike first took over. He shouted slang: "Through him!"

It means shooting with a crossbow.

Other members of the Brotherhood have long since noticed that there is armor in Zhou Yi's cloak. They are also experienced in combat and dare to do evil things. They had already stared at him before, and now they immediately shot crossbow arrows at Zhou Yi with a ferocious smile.

'Boom boom boom boom! Almost at the same time as the sound of the crossbow strings, a shadow of arms appeared in front of Zhou Yi, and all the crossbow arrows were easily shot down by him.

The members of the Brotherhood were stunned. This was a military crossbow, and it was so close...

The leader had seen people before and knew that he was facing a tough opponent, so he shouted: "Cut him!"

Several of the brotherhood's big men, armed with big axes and swords, roared and rushed towards Zhou Yi, but the leader himself turned around and ran away.

Zhou Yi took off the Pu Dao from the lock behind his back and chopped several big men to death on the spot one by one.

All of them were cut in half with their weapons. One of them was even cut into two pieces with an iron axe. The scene was bloody and shocking. The members of the Brotherhood present felt the urge to urinate and were numb. .

Then, Zhou Yi jumped up and stood directly in front of the leader, and asked calmly: "Where are you going?"
