Above Destiny

Chapter 281 Thunder and Rain

Time flies, and another black rain comes.

When people are busy, they always don't care about the passage of time. Especially for craftsmen like Yu Jin who like to deal with colleagues, when they think about each other, they can always burst out with amazing efficiency and creativity.

To some extent, we can be considered to have worked together.

In the words of Jiang Tongguang, our association is truly thriving!
And when the clear bell rang, quite a few participants at the bottom of the rankings actually breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s finally here!

If they don't come soon, they don't know if they can hold on.

On the one hand, there is nervousness and anxiety about the confrontation, but on the other hand, there is fear about the environment.

Ever since the last black rain, the environmental deterioration trend on Luye Island was just like it was rising like a rocket along with Ji Jue.

Nowadays, the external environment has been polluted to an outrageous degree.

There was often gray-black fog floating in the air, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Lightning flashed from time to time, but no thunder could be heard. The fleeting lightning illuminated the increasingly hideous world, and if one was distracted for a moment, one could seem to see a vague black shadow in the corner.

Like a terrifying hallucination that appears in a nightmare.

But hallucinations are not necessarily false. If one cannot keep his mind focused and remain calm, he may create non-existent evil spirits in his heart amidst delirium and hallucinations.

Only today did everyone understand what the so-called disaster without light meant.

The light of supreme goodness is dim, while the stain of great evil is rampant.

The rise and fall fell into the abyss, the ruins gradually dissolved into the vortex, the embers gradually stagnated and decayed, the mirror's phantom light revealed the shadow of darkness, the ether turned into filth, and the rising entropy gradually became as cold as frost... The origin of heaven was gone, only the shadow of the distant broken tower remained, the white deer lost control, and the wolf's tyranny was revealed.

The prototype of the so-called doomsday emerged from the pollution of evil.

The entire Luye Island now seems to have fallen into the chaos under the vortex.

After all, there are only a few freaks who can be as relaxed and carefree as Ji Jue, as if they were at home. Most people can't stand this kind of butterfly-stroke-in-a-cesspool kind of life.

All I can say is that although Jianyuan’s old tutoring class is a bit of a forced sale, it’s full of solid content and not a bit of water.

While most people are still suffering from the evil erosion, Ji Jue's workshop has changed again, extending from underground to the top, occupying most of the mountain. After the layers of evil sedimentation and purification, the absolute stability and control of the workshop is still guaranteed.

If necessary, you can even open the septic tank and let your opponent experience the feeling of diving in the pit.

However, such a wicked trick is really too damaging to the harmony of nature, and it would not sound good if it were spread out.

Ji Jue still values ​​his status as a member of a prestigious and upright family!
I am a Haizhoudai good man certified by the Chongguang Sect and a new generation pillar of the association. How can I use such a despicable trick? !

The main thing is that he had to show off his mastery of alchemy right under the eyes of the judges, which was somewhat reckless. Besides, if he won in an unorthodox way, it would be fine. But if he won in an embarrassing way... Even if he won first place, Professor Ye would not mind giving him a few more spiritual attack and defense classes to teach Ji Jue how to be a good person.

As expected, true victory or defeat still depends on friendship, passion and bonds, which can be called the kingly way!
In this way, he rubbed his little hands and watched the changes in the human figures in the flowing light before his eyes.

Full of expectations.

Until the opponent in the third round appeared before his eyes.

A man with a full beard and long braided hair, covered in tattoos and with bare arms.

More like a horde than a craftsman.

Just this breath...

Soul Hunter Knight?

Ji Jue suddenly realized that he had not been lucky enough to win the first round, but he was a little disappointed. He had originally thought that he could immediately compete with the second-ranked person.

It seems that in the eyes of the judges, it is not the right time yet.

Ranked sixth, belongs to North Wind Workshop, Frederick Kosgum!

The moment she saw Ji Jue, her pupils couldn't help but shrink. There was no fear on that face covered with tattoos, but instead there was an uncontrollable excitement.

He raised his hand, placed it on his chest, and nodded slightly.

Then, press on the dagger at your waist.

Wait for response.

They don't look like craftsmen, but rather like a large group.

This is the invitation to struggle from the northernmost part.

In that extremely cold world covered with snow, there is no judgment of right or wrong or morality in the tribe, only the laws and treaties of the great lord. Apart from that, all disputes can be resolved by duels.

Even among the craftsmen, they were already accustomed to the brutal and straightforward struggles of life and death.

Here, a formal challenge was issued to him.

In that brief moment, Ji Jue nodded without hesitation.

The phantoms of both sides disappeared without a trace, leaving only the rumbling of thunder above the sky. Amidst the violent black rain, a biting cold wave suddenly swept and spread.

A shrill roar of a wild beast was heard.

Following the call of the whistle, the phantom of the giant wolf walked out from the spreading frost, with a mirror image of a craftsman covered in fur. However, at this moment, the silent tattoo on the face of the mirror image had emerged with a dazzling and scorching light.

Tattoos appeared on the skin, moving around, like iron helmets, giant beasts, and corpses, changing in a variety of ways.

The sound of iron hooves was like thunder.

In the surging frost and ice fog, the figures of the Soul Hunting Knights reappeared and roared out.

Then, the newly-forged Berserkers roared forward.

Not only that, the earth-shaking sound spread out like footsteps, and towering figures several meters tall walked out from behind Frederick. Those giants made of ironwood rocks moved like living creatures, and under their armor, their bodies were covered with complex runes composed of spiritual circuits.

At this moment, when the eleven war giants dragged huge giant soldiers that were beyond the size of ordinary people and walked towards the workshop step by step, it was like an iron wall advancing and a tsunami invading.

Unlike most other workshops that are independent and aloof, the North Wind Workshop, as a vital part of the North, is loyal to the great lords of all generations, obeys the iron rules and laws, and has assisted tyrants in launching wars more than once in history. In each of the four White River Battles, there were traces and figures of the North Wind Workshop, and it was even the core of them.

Because of this, they are more adept at large-scale invasions, looting and fighting.

Now, with the appearance of the giant, Frederick's actions did not stop. He took off a spiritually sealed bag from his waist, took out handfuls of seeds and scattered them on the ground.

The moment they fell into the soil, the seeds took root and sprouted, absorbing the spiritual essence and nutrients stored in it and growing rapidly. One after another, burly figures like skeletons broke out of the soil like the dead resurrected.

The incomplete body was rapidly growing and recovering, and in its empty eyes, a gleam of spirit was revealed, making it more agile than any other creature.

Not only that, they even come with their own weapons and armor. Each weapon is a sharp blade that flashes with a cold light and is breathtaking, and each piece of armor is covered with dirt and scratches from years of battle.

Even everyone's appearance was completely different. The only similarity was the identical fanaticism and malice on their faces, and they couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield.

"Hero's seed?"

Jiang Tongguang, who was outside the floating light, raised his eyebrows and whistled: "It seems that 'Big Beard' thinks highly of him."

Gustav reminded coldly: "Huangxu hates being called Big Beard the most, you'd better be careful."

Jiang Tongguang grinned: "How can he know if no one tells him?"

Gustav looked at him indifferently, causing Jiang Tongguang's smile to stiffen for a moment, "You won't tell me, will you?"

Gustav didn't say anything, but that didn't mean he would talk more in the future.

Seed of Heroes is also the signature work of North Wind Workshop, a terrifying work that gained fame as the great overlord crossed the White River four times to fight his way to the Thousand Islands.

Standing on the embers, integrating the vortex and the ether, only one rune seed is needed to recreate the heroes of the past. This is why the Valhalla sequence got its name.

They are immortal heroes. Even if they die, they will be resurrected in Valhalla, feasting on wine in the golden palace, waiting for the sound of drums and trumpets, and once again following the gods to start a new war.

Frederick's mastery and understanding have reached a high level. Although the heroes he planted are short-lived, they still have the physique and false soul of the Chosen One. As the craftsmen have been through many years of battle, the hero seeds can even be implanted into the matrix and integrated with blessings, destroying the enemy like a real hero.

If Huang Xu were here, he would probably look in his pocket and throw one at random, which would be enough to grow a large group of reborn ones.

Relying on the mechanism of simulated struggle, he doesn't have to worry about the loss and can spend money with confidence.

If it were any other craftsman, they would be heartbroken to lose one.

Now, dozens of heroes drew their swords and roared, and the war giant walking in the front had already raised the bronze cannon that was more than several meters long in his hand. Amidst the loud noise, a fierce light spurted out.

After undergoing alchemical processing, the huge cannonball transformed from ordinary iron was covered in flames, and inside it was a high heat and destruction comparable to a volcano.

At this moment, the shells broke through the air, burning the black rain, and hit the door of the workshop head-on without any mercy.

A terrifying force enough to blow an entire city wall into the sky exploded. A large section of the rock wall on the mountain collapsed, exposing the metal structure underneath. Mud and rock flowed down, and the earth shook.

The door of the workshop was actually blown open by this shot, shattered into pieces and sent into the sky.

The attack went so smoothly that even the mirror image was delayed for a few seconds, wondering if there was some trap... But then, in the darkness behind the door, what sounded was piercing wail and wailing.

It's like opening the door to hell...

If Frederick were here in person and witnessed such a scene, he would probably not be able to help but swear, right?
A huge and skinny hand stretched out from the darkness first, with its five fingers filled with sticky blood. It squirmed and climbed, and then there appeared a hideous outline and a body that had already been completely disfigured!
The evil creature, as huge as a giant, opened its mouth and screamed in pain and madness. All over its body, bloodshot eyes opened and closed, and suddenly looked at the invading enemy.

I'm already starving.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking iron chains, he pounced and ran over without thinking!

But what was even more horrifying was the strange and hideous silhouettes that appeared one after another in the deep darkness behind the door, and even the continuous sound of chains breaking...

Countless scarlet spots of light quickly expanded from the darkness.

Dozens of evil creatures, completely berserk in pain and torture, broke out of the door in an instant!

There were still puncture wounds on their heads, spinal cords and limbs, suture scars on their broken bodies, and even armor directly poured with iron slurry!
Forty-one evil creatures became the workshop's first line of defense.

Give the invaders a surprise!

Only when you manage a household do you know how expensive firewood and rice are. The correct answer to living a life is to be thrifty and live within your means.

As a poor and capable man, Ji Jue naturally could not allow any waste in his hands. Even if a grain of rice fell on the ground, he would want to ask everyone to line up outside the door.

With the development of the workshop, there is no need for so many evil creatures to sacrifice their youth and descendants, so their treatment has naturally improved a little.

Although they kept trying to attack the workshop and cause some damage to Ji Jue due to the evil pollution, Ji Jue still generously forgave them and graciously accepted them into the big family of the workshop.

All you need to do is sell your body.

After removing the necessary materials, if the person is still alive and breathing, Ji Jue will sew these evil things back to their original state, and even implant metal to replace and reinforce the bones, use evil mercury to replace the blood, and use a crudely made engine to replace the heart.

Then tie it outside the door to watch the door and watch the breeze for him.

Now, on the head of each evil creature, there are more or less metal structures, or huge silver rivets.

Those implants, made by Ji Jue with a clear conscience, can ensure that their consciousness and body are disconnected when nothing is happening. At the same time, they can continuously stimulate the relevant sensory tissues with electric current to ensure that they are always hungry, thirsty, and in pain, and can eat with all their strength.

As for whether he is obedient or not... just tie it to the door so that you can see the door. What's the point of being obedient?

He knows how to wag his tail when he sees himself, and bares his teeth when he sees a thief. That's all.

When Ji Jue raised his palm, a monotonous and harsh sound of metal friction exploded.

All the crazy evil creatures seemed to have heard the supreme command and did not dare to hesitate for a moment. Under the catalysis of the stimulants injected into their spinal cords, they swelled up again, roaring hungrily and rushing towards all living things they saw.

The tide of hell roared and rushed from the darkness behind the gate, colliding with the war giant!
In an instant, a group of strange and bizarre evil creatures started fighting with the Northern Army...

And in another simulation, the ferocious scarlet armor raised its head from the rainstorm and looked forward. Under the illumination of flames, there was a towering barrier in front of it.

The sounds of armor rubbing against each other and swords colliding were endless.

Where is the workshop in front of me?
Below the ramparts, there are stretches of camps, with countless burly figures in armor... This is clearly a heavily guarded military camp!

At this moment, when the horn of the enemy's attack sounded on the wall, the towering city gate burst open, and one by one the armored puppets advanced forward, shouting and roaring.

According to the one-to-one replica of Ji Jue's invasion mirror, he smiled evilly and waved forward.

Countless violent evil creatures suddenly rushed out from behind him...

Weird.

There was no reaction at all.

Mirror looked back blankly, only to find that there was nothing behind him - wait, where is my dog? Didn't I bring the dog with me? !
Sadly, I didn't bring any.

Ji Jue, failed in the close call.

Originally, it was still unclear whether this ambiguous thing could be considered an alchemical creation. Besides, looking at the pile of stuff, Ji Jue at best recycled some of the stuff, modified a few parts and tied a few chains...

The only reason Jiang Tongguang stayed in the workshop to watch over the gate was because he was bloodthirsty and wanted to see a river of blood. How could he be allowed to be brought to the simulation on the opposite side?

And now, with the sound of the horn, the barrier shook, huge cracks appeared, and then revealed... the black muzzle of a huge cannon!
Spiritual essence locking is completed.

In an instant, a roar rose into the sky, disturbing the rainstorm and black clouds. The dark world was already filled with violent flames that rose up like big stars and roared towards him!

In the fleeting short moment, everything is illuminated as bright as day.

Destruction falls from the sky!

The armored man looked up at the countless falling artillery shells in the sky, as if sighing helplessly.

But he slowly raised his hand.

Draw the knife.

The clear chirping sound was like a flying bird spreading its wings and taking off, cutting through the echoes of the storm and the noise of the rain, transcending the roar of the artillery fire, and resounding in every corner between the sea and the sky.

There was no movement to be seen, as if the sound just now was just an illusion.

But at the deepest part of the barrier, Frederick couldn't help but... sweat profusely!
At that moment, time was almost frozen.

Scarlet, flashing by!
Then, at the moment when time began to flow again, the pouring rain, the howling wind, the sweeping air waves, and even the bright light that fell like stars - all were split into two!
And in the raised steel hand of the armor, a strange sharp blade several meters long appeared silently.

Clear as crystal, yet red as blood.

When the broken rain curtain fell again, the dripping black rain streaked down from the spine of the blade, along the blade, condensed and gathered again from the edge of the blade, and fell to the ground.

There was a slight sound of water dripping.

Like crying, like complaining, like tears, like dew.
