Chapter 98 Flying Sword (please order first, monthly tickets please!)
Outside Poison Dragon Pond.
The army camp.
A low, sad atmosphere enveloped the entire military camp.
This large camp was set up outside Dulongtan. These days, it has been responsible for supplying food and grass to the front and transporting the wounded.
In the wounded barracks, screams could be heard from time to time.
Those were wounded soldiers whose legs had been soaked in poisonous water for too long and needed amputation.
They were pretty lucky, at least they didn't feed the poisonous python directly.
And starting yesterday, even worse news came out.
This time the troops were sent out, the Duhu Mansion was severely defeated. Not only were many elites killed or injured, but even the fifth-grade Taoist official Hao Yunzi, and two great magical monks, were also killed!
Although it is said that the evil cultivator also suffered heavy casualties, the culprit escaped.
When Zhong Shenxiu entered the camp, he saw such a desolate atmosphere, and even resentment.
Can't they leave after the army has wiped out the foreign races on the outskirts? Why continue to penetrate deeper and increase casualties?
It was this resentment that made the atmosphere in the military camp look very bad.
Even the news that the officials tried their best to block was spreading rapidly in the dark.
'This time the Duhufu lost troops and generals, and three masters were killed. In the end, not even a hair of Master Longhu was caught. It was really miserable... But Master Dulong was finally wiped out, and the slogan mission was completed... Comparatively speaking , the casual cultivators and the Yunjian Sect were truly miserable, they were tricked to death...'
With a relaxed mood, Zhong Shenxiu went to the wounded barracks to wrap up some minor injuries, and soon found Feng Xi'er wrapped in gauze.
"Su Daozhi..."
Inside the camp, Feng Xi'er looked depressed. When she saw Zhong Shenxiu coming in, she forced a smile and said, "The situation was critical at that time. We scattered and fled. Only a few people came back. I'm very happy that you can come back."
"Colonel Hongfu, this subordinate is just a little lucky." Zhong Shenxiu looked very humble.
"Luck is also a kind of strength. This time Zhao Zhong and the others are dead... The Protectorate is preparing to withdraw its troops. You have to take charge of the chores under my command." Feng Xi'er took a writing brush and corrected the piles of military documents. He said: "The Protector has a destiny. This time the war dead will be generously compensated. The soldiers will be given wine, meat, money, and silk. The generals will each receive a credit. When I go back this time, you will be promoted to the ninth-grade evil-killing envoy without any problem."
"I don't dare to be greedy for merit. I just ask the captain to allow me to do something. I want to ask for Taoism!"
Zhong Shenxiu bowed again and said solemnly.
He felt that when the army's morale was unstable and the general protection needed to win over people's hearts, he could be considered as having made a contribution. In addition to Feng Xi'er's previous promise, this opportunity must not be missed.
"Of course, I have promised this before."
Feng Xi'er smiled and said with an expression that she had known for a long time: "Which method do you want to seek?"
"My subordinate is practicing the Ten Directions Beast Art very well and I don't want to change." Zhong Shenxiu said honestly and politely.
"Su Daozhi... You are worthy of being a member of the Su family. You know more than ordinary people... Among the methods of entering the Tao that can be rewarded in the Great Protector's Mansion, Ten Thousand Beasts Art is the best one. It has a complete follow-up and comes from a famous family. We won’t be cornered in the future…”
Feng Xi'er rubbed her forehead: "If it were an ordinary Taoist book, I would have no problem submitting it. This inheritance of Ten Thousand Beasts Art is a bit cautious. You have posed a moderate problem for me."
"Please also ask the captain to make it happen."
Zhong Shenxiu bowed deeply.
He has the right to use it, and it will become invalid upon expiration. What's more, he has saved this girl's life before, so there is no psychological burden at all in requesting it.
Although the other party does not know it.
Moreover, he only wants this in a name.
I have the entire "Dragon and Tiger Alchemy Book" in my arms.
If Feng Xi'er still doesn't agree, then the government really doesn't have any gangsters, so just go out and become a casual cultivator.
"You and I are family friends, so I will do my best to help you with this matter."
Feng Xi'er said solemnly.
In fact, she secretly calculated and felt that she was very confident. She was just pretending to be difficult to sell a bigger favor.
Moreover, with Su Daozhi's qualifications and the skills he obtained, he might actually be able to enter the Tao and become a monk in the Gangsha Realm. This status would suddenly be different. It would also be a great help to her, and it was worth wooing her.
‘A family friend? How long has it been since I heard this? ’
Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes secretly, and then saluted again: "The captain is a great kindness, and I will remember it in my heart."
Well, I'll treat you as repaying the favor of saving my life.
The two exchanged a few words, and Zhong Shenxiu, who had received a bunch of tasks, was caught and sent out to do some work.
It wasn't until midnight that he returned to his tent.
Late at night, he sat cross-legged and with a flick of his finger, an inexplicable barrier appeared in the tent, blocking the atmosphere.
Immediately, Zhong Shenxiu stretched out his hand, and a black flying sword emerged.
Poison Dragon Sword!
This is the treasure that Venerable Poison Dragon relies on to become famous. It is extremely sharp.
During this battle, the casual cultivator killed the Skeleton Scholar, Feihua Sisters, and a Poisonous Dragon Master, but this man's body was far away, and Zhong Shenxiu only managed to catch a flying sword.
In addition, there are several treasures in the battlefield.
The Shenxiao Thunder Seal and the formation pattern escaped into the void and disappeared.
The five-fire and six-gas furnace was immediately useless. If there was a weapon spirit, it would probably be dead.
The last Xuantian Jade Ruyi was probably in the hands of Yan Beiling, and he didn't know if the Yunjian Sect would have to go back.
In addition, there are no treasures in the temporary cave of Master Longhu. It is probably because this person has exhausted his savings in order to collect the elixir-containing spiritual objects.
Zhong Shenxiu burned the body, crushed the bones and scattered the ashes, but in the end only a sleeve was found.
This is a storage instrument, the Qiankun Sleeve, which is about the size of a house. There are not many things inside, just some Red Emperor coins and Yellow Emperor talisman coins, but only a few thousand.
Zhong Shenxiu had the headless Earl's alien space to store supplies. Although he was a little jealous when he saw the Qiankun Sleeve, he still transferred the coins and reluctantly destroyed them.
Now the entire Fufeng Protectorate thinks that Master Longhu has escaped, and no one knows that he is dead.
But one day, this will come to light.
Zhong Shenxiu didn't want to take any clues that might arouse suspicion with him.
"So, in real terms... this poisonous dragon sword is the biggest treasure harvest this time."
Zhong Shenxiu looked at the Poison Dragon Sword carefully.
This sword is about one foot long and no more than an inch wide. The sword body is translucent, as if it were carved from a piece of black crystal. There is a faint black line like a small snake wandering in it, which is extraordinary and agile.
"What a sword!"
Zhong Shenxiu's eyes lit up and he slowly input his true energy.
The Poison Dragon Sword trembled slightly, as if it was struggling. He felt a little inspiration and immediately suppressed it and began to refine the sword.
"Speaking of which...it is rumored that Venerable Poison Dragon's flying sword and swordsmanship were also obtained from the ruins of ancient immortals. They have great power. Unfortunately, they cannot find the sword skills to match them, so the power of this sword will be reduced by half...and it will also need to be changed. So you can take it out and use it."
With the continuous injection of true energy, the poisonous dragon sword suddenly transformed. The black color on the sword slowly faded, turning into a flying sword as thin as cicada wings and crystal clear!
