Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 149 Scout

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Guhuoniao is still waiting for him at Yulong Pass, but since he is on the front line, he should be prepared to be urgently conscripted.

It's time to experience the real battlefield.

Riding their dragon-scaled horned horses, the two soared into the sky and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

Gu Qing looked at the man in blue. This man, who was the adjutant of the young general, was not very old and quite handsome. Gu Qing asked him a few questions casually.

“Master, Qingyi is a cultivator from Madi. He was born a servant. General Lü saved me and gave me the opportunity to cultivate.”

"General Lü?"

"That's the person who was just talking to the master."

Gu Qing nodded, secretly stroking his chin.

This woman in blue has a bit of a cross-dressing vibe. The Lü family... it seems they're not all scoundrels like Lü Zhenyan. Well, if a family is full of such people, then its decline is not far off.

The so-called "hemp field" is a resource-producing area that is rich in gastrodia elata, which is one of the essential materials for cultivators to make robes, and it is widely planted.

It provided jobs for countless low-level cultivators.

But it is also the place where people are most mistreated. It can be said to be the dirtiest place in the cultivation world of Southern Yue. The timid will tremble when they hear the word "Ma Di".

A black-hearted, bloody, low-level factory.

That's the purest form of cultivation in the underworld.

Gu Qing had heard the name "Ma Di" from other people more than once. As for why Baiyue Mountain didn't care, there were too many and too complicated reasons, and the Emperor Hong Jiang Clan was also involved.

It's hard to explain in a short time.

Chatting with this pretty young lady in green for a few minutes is a good way to pass the time.

Gu Qing and his companion were traveling along the rift valley, but they were traveling on the territory of Southern Yue.

It's at a height of about 100 meters.

Riding a dragon-scaled horned horse, galloping low in the air.

A day and a half later.

A group of demonic beasts suddenly rushed out from the deathly aura emerging from the abyss. When Gu Qing met their eyes, both sides were completely dumbfounded.

"What's going on... how could I run into this?"

Gu Qing suspected that there was something wrong with her luck.

This team consists of four demonic beasts, likely a scout squad: an eighth-rank high-level vine wolf and a four-eyed demonic bird, and an eighth-rank high-level earth-walking lizard and a mountain-drilling armor.

If this configuration can bypass human patrols, penetrate deep into human territory, and hide underground in something like a portable cave, it can serve as a long-term informant.

"Perceive, observe, drill, hide."

"All four elements are complete..."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the demon scouts immediately surrounded them, their expressions bloodthirsty.

"One is at the highest level of the eighth rank, and the other is at the lowest level of the eighth rank."

"Kill them."

trouble.

With a slight frown and a glance at the nervous man in green, Gu Qing released the Crimson Sky Tower with a wave of his hand. The tower hovered above his head, releasing its Crimson Sky Treasure Light to completely suppress the enemy.

Nine chains swayed with the radiance of the precious light.

The power of the magical artifact was even stronger than his own strength, so dealing with the four demonic beasts shouldn't be a problem.

The same is true.

As soon as the Crimson Light shone on the heads of the demonic beasts, they felt their strength was reduced by half; the suppression by rank was just that unreasonable.

He is a weapon refiner; the weapons he refines are part of his strength.

He snorted immediately.

"cut!"

The tower spire trembled, and the Demon-Slaying Sword was drawn. The Demon-Slaying Technique's restraint on demonic power was no less than that of an ice block falling into lava.

In the blink of an eye, the two eighth-rank high-level demonic beasts were the first to fall in battle.

As the vine wolf retreated in terror, the bloodthirsty demonic sword pierced its chest and abdomen, shattering its heart. The last remaining four-eyed bird demon, skilled in speed and observation, dodged the first attack.

But then, captured by nine chains, it let out a miserable scream and was locked alive inside the Crimson Sky Tower, its fate self-evident.

They were just a few minor demons; they were easily defeated. What's there to say?

The woman in green standing to the side had her mouth wide open.

He looked at Gu Qing in disbelief.

"Master... I never expected you to be so amazing."

"Weapon refiners all rely on the advantages of their tools, and I'm no exception."

"Let's continue. We'll encounter a scout team of demons halfway through the journey. We need to inform General Xue at Tianlao Pass of this as soon as possible."

"Qingyi understands, let's go!"

The dragon-scaled horse howled as it was whipped, and its speed increased to another level. It would definitely reach Tianlao Pass before sunset.

Gu Qing smiled as he looked at the three intact demon corpses that had appeared in the Crimson Cloud Tower. These were the resources for the Demon-Slaying Sword to grow.

The remaining bone fragments and fur can also be used as materials for another artifact, but it hasn't been crafted yet. He'll wait and gather more materials first.

While thinking.

Gu Qing's mind was focused on the Taotie head, which was the treasure he most wanted to make use of.

Right now, the battlefield we're about to go to is the perfect testing ground.

Another day and a half has passed.

We've arrived at Tianlao Pass!

Its shape and appearance are somewhat different from those of Yulong Pass, but it is essentially a weapon of war, and it stands atop two mountains.

The nearly 3,000-meter-long giant gate, built on a base of mountain rocks, is connected together, like a heavenly gate descended from the sky, majestic and inviolable.

Images of countless monsters dying tragically are engraved on the two giant gates.

This is the most primitive form of deterrence.

But why build it in the shape of a gate? Gu Qing couldn't figure it out; there must be some other secret behind it.

As the two approached, soldiers stationed there immediately flew out to block them.

"Who is here?"

"Qingyi, go and negotiate."

"Yes!"

Upon learning the reason and showing his identity token, Gu Qing was immediately treated with courtesy.

“Master Gu, the people from the weapon-refining department are still on their way. Your arrival is just in time. Today, the White-Sun Golden-Backed Eagle clan led a large number of demons to attack Tianlao Pass, and a large number of war artifacts were damaged. Please come with me to take a look.”

"No problem, it's my duty, I will do my best."

"However, there is one more matter that I need to see General Xue Shen'an about. Let Qingyi report to him. You take me to the armory."

"Arrange immediately."

There are priorities, and repairing the war artifacts is of utmost urgency. Gu Qing arrived first, so naturally he had to go and take a look.

The encounter with the demon scout team along the way cannot be delayed.

You can encounter demon scouts at any location.

Perhaps the enemy's objective is not limited to Tianlao Pass. If attacked from both sides, the forces at Tianlao Pass may not be able to withstand the attack.

This is what Gu Qing is thinking right now.

However, the actual situation may not be as he imagined.

Armory.

A large number of weapon refiners are already repairing magical artifacts or refining special cloud-piercing arrows for the Demon-Slaying Crossbow. These people are not from the weapon refining department, but are weapon refiners directly under the Heavenly Prison Pass.

After all, they can't let the weapon-refining department handle every little problem, since it's their own weapon-refining department.

“Master Gu, these are all war artifacts that were damaged during the day. Please see which ones can be repaired the fastest.”

Demon-slaying crossbow carts, soul-devouring cannons... the giant magical artifacts used in military formations, demon-slaying spears, military soul armor... the sky shuttle flying boats... the dazzling array of war artifacts truly broadened Gu Qing's horizons.
