Desperate Night.

Chapter 29 029 Choice (Xie Shangxian Qitian Alliance Leader)

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

In the woods, Yu Hong was breathing heavily, looking at the two men in camouflage uniforms lying on the ground in front of him.

The clothes these two people were wearing reminded him of the little stutterer.

"This clothes, could it be someone from the Allied Forces?" He couldn't help but think of the guy named Zhao Zhenghong who came last time.

The guy said it was an invitation, but actually he sent someone to hide by the door, intending to attack him when he went out.

This kind of person is insidious and cunning. After the appearance of the evil shadow, the importance of the pyroxene has greatly increased, so it is normal to send people to capture him again.

Squatting down, Yu Hong carefully examined the two men.

Soon he found all kinds of sundries.

Two military dark green daggers, two bags of old-style pyroxene, and two leather water bags, but these are nothing.

However, there was one thing that surprised Yu Hong.

That was taken from the guy who pulled the gun.

It is a grayish-white silver coin.

There is a beautiful straight and sharp tower printed on the front of the silver dollar, and a special rune that is most common on pyroxene printed on the back.

"Could this be the currency commonly used in town?" Yu Hong thought as he held the silver dollar.

No matter whether it is or not, just put it away first. After searching, he saw that the two were still not awake, so he ignored them and searched all the things on them before returning the same way.

As for whether the two can survive, it depends on their luck. If they can wake up before dark, they may survive. If not.
Yu Hong quickly found what he had dropped, and also collected the dry firewood scattered on the ground. He carried them all together and returned to the cave.

If the advanced physical training method had not taken effect, the two cold airs would have given him two chances to recover his physical strength. I'm afraid he would have been caught and taken away to be a tool.

Click, the door was opened with the key, Yu Hong quickly entered and closed it behind him.

I heard the heavy door slam shut and lock.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of security.

Put everything down temporarily and place it near the fireplace to prevent moisture and mold.

Then he sat on the stool and thought about the problems he encountered today.

First, the looted items included two pistols, a silver dollar, two daggers, two bags of old-style pyroxene, and the rest were sundries.

He took the pistol in his hand and played with it. He had never touched a gun before, so he searched for it and studied it for a long time before he removed the magazine.

"." Looking at the magazine in his hand, Yu Hong was somewhat speechless.

There is only one bullet in the magazine. One bullet for each gun.
"Are the officials so poor?" Yu Hong was speechless.

I don’t know what the pistol will become after being strengthened, but now I have to prepare for other aspects first.

When evil shadows appear in town, you must prepare in advance and not rely on luck.

"Evil Shadow, Withered Girl? Ordinary pyroxene is useless. Even large pyroxene can only be used to escape."

He looked at the large pyroxene he had placed in his cave.

There are three ground gates on all sides, but with such a density, they can only guard against ghost shadows.

He took out the last large pyroxene he had, which he kept as a backup.

I thought it was enough, but now...
"Speaking of which, why can pyroxene disperse the ghost shadow? According to what Little Stutter said, even without this rune, pyroxene can disperse the ghost shadow, but the effect is much worse. So... here comes the question."

He reached out and touched the runes on the large pyrophyllite.

"Where did this pattern originally come from? How did the Black Disaster first appear?"

He had a feeling that the runes on the pyroxene seemed to be related to the appearance of the black disaster.

"It just so happens that the black seal will refuse to be strengthened because its function is incomplete. So, I might be able to use this to test whether this rune alone can play a role in fighting against the ghost."

Thinking of this, Yu Hong took out a piece of newspaper and a black charcoal pencil.

He had strengthened this charcoal pencil and turned it into the size of an ordinary gel pen, but the writing it produced was much finer and clearer than that of the previous charcoal pencil.

Apparently the raw material of charcoal pencils has also been strengthened into some unknown charcoal.

Yu Hong doesn't care about these, as long as it works.

Spread the newspaper flat on another wooden stool and carefully place the silver dollar under the newspaper.

Then, he used a charcoal pencil to print the rune pattern on the silver dollar and then lightly smeared it.

Soon, a black rune pattern appeared in front of him.

The background color of this picture is gray-black, and the color of the pattern is darker, so it is clearly visible.

After drawing the picture, Yu Hong reached out and pressed on the picture.

'Strengthen the dispel ghost rune, direction, the effect is enhanced!'

He was silent.

Soon, the black mark flowed out of the black line, but then quickly returned.

'Incompleteness.'

Failed.
Yu Hong frowned and let go of his hand.

Judging from the black mark, this rune does not have the ability to dispel the ghost. Or in other words, it does not have the ability to dispel the ghost alone.

"It seems that there is no way to figure out this principle in a short period of time, so..."

He picked up another piece of common pyroxene.

He got a lot of this stuff from the two people just now and from the remains of the little stutterer.

After collecting all of them, there were four small bags on the ground.

There are ten pieces in each bag, which are allocated in advance.

"Is it because it takes ten pieces to completely disperse the ghost shadow?" Yu Hong guessed.

He put down the ordinary pyroxene and took out another piece of pyroxene that had not yet been painted with runes.

Xiao Jieba also has the tools he needs to paint pyroxene.

He compared the one drawn by Little Stutter with the one he had just seized. The runes on the surfaces of the two pyroxenes had different colors, obviously drawn with different pigments.

"It seems that the pigment has little effect on the runes. Then, I will give it a try."

Picking up the enhanced charcoal pencil, Yu Hong began to carefully depict the surface of a piece of original pyroxene.

What he drew was the original rune, not the enhanced rune.

The original rune was very simple, a circle with four strange symbols that looked like letters inside, a small circle in the center, and a symbol that looked like a flame.

After practicing several times, Yu Hong soon drew a total of five pyroxenes.

He placed these pyroxene stones on the ground from left to right. The order of placement was not random, but was based on the neatness of the runes.

From left to right, the runes become more and more neat, and the lines become rounder and clearer.

Finish these.

Yu Hong let out a breath, stretched out his hand again, and pressed on the first pyroxene on the left.

'Strengthen into a large pyroxene, direction: enhance the effect.' He thought to himself.

Soon, black lines shot out and feedback sounded.

'Do you want to strengthen it into pyroxene?'

But what Yu Hong cared about was not this, but the time number that appeared on the surface of pyroxene.

'3th, 2:18.'

He withdrew his hand and quickly took out a pen to write down the time.

Then he reached out and pressed on the second piece of pyroxene, performing the same operation.

Suddenly, numbers appeared on the second piece of pyroxene.

'3th, 1:02.'

Then comes the third piece.

'3 days and 51 minutes.'

The fourth piece.

'3 days and 42 minutes.'

The fifth piece.

'3 days and 21 minutes.'

Yu Hong took his hand back and looked at the row of recorded numbers, a look of realization finally showing on his face.

"Sure enough. The duration of the enhancement is affected by the perfection of the enhanced item. The smaller the difference between the enhanced item before and after the enhancement, the shorter the countdown time required."

"It seems that if I use the enhanced large pyroxene rune to draw on the pyroxene from the beginning, then the strengthening time will definitely be greatly shortened!"

Yu Hong guessed.

"Because I saved some time on strengthening the runes!"

"Try it!"

Immediately, he picked up a piece of raw pyroxene and began to imitate the complex runes on the large pyroxene.

This complex pattern is much more difficult to create than ordinary pyroxene.

If the complexity of the rune on ordinary pyroxene is 1, then the difficulty of the advanced rune on large pyroxene is 4.

Not to mention, there are more than a dozen strange symbols that need to be written on the high-level runes.

At first glance, it looked a bit like some gaming magic circles that Yu Hong had seen in his memory.

Time passed by, and he was so immersed in drawing advanced runes that he completely forgot about the weather.

Before I knew it, the sky outside had darkened.

Yu Hong lit the fireplace and continued painting.

The dry firewood picked up this time is enough to sustain for one night, and from the information we have obtained, the threat of the evil shadow may indeed affect this side.

It would be fine if we don't encounter it, but if we do, we won't be able to stop it with just that little bit of pyroxene!
So he has to think of a countermeasure.

Finding a way to fight the evil shadow is naturally the first priority.

But now that we can’t find it, it is more important to shorten the time of strengthening the pyroxene.

After all, even if you don't use the pyroxene yourself, you can use it to exchange items with others. It can be said to be real hard currency.

Time passed quickly as Hong concentrated on his training.

Fortunately tonight there was no blood flow and no interference from beetles. Yu Hong painted until late at night and felt tired, so he added some dried meat. A piece of dried meat was completed in about three hours. After determining the countdown time, he fell asleep.

It was dawn as soon as I woke up.

After getting up in the morning, eating and disposing of excrement, he began to practice advanced physical training.

At noon, I went out to collect firewood, cut wild vegetables, and replenish water.

I came back in the afternoon to continue practicing drawing advanced runes, and strengthened the jerky during my rest, never wasting time on black seals.

Repeat this every day.

Finally, on the afternoon of the fifth day, the drawing of the advanced rune was finally successful!
In the cave, Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face, holding a piece of high-level rune pyroxene that he had just drawn.

"Not bad. Not worse than the stuttering one!"

He put it down impatiently and put his hand on it.

'Strengthen into a large pyroxene, direction: enhance the effect.'

A thought flashed through his mind, and immediately the black seal responded.

A black line flew out from the back of the hand and instantly sank into the pyroxene.

Then, a mechanical sound rang in my ears.

'Do you want to strengthen it into pyroxene?'

Yu Hong did not respond, but loosened his hand and stared at the high-level rune pyroxene.

The countdown above has appeared.

'2 days and 19 minutes.'

Bang!
Yu Hong slapped the ground hard.

"It's done!!"

He couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Sure enough, my guess was right! Shortening the gap between before and after strengthening can shorten the strengthening time!"

One large piece of pyroxene every two days, the time is shortened by one third compared to the previous three days!

This means that he can strengthen more pyroxene faster, ensure his own safety, and also exchange for more supplies!

After the excitement, Yu Hong soon came up with a new idea.

"The time of the Great Pyroxene has been shortened, but as for the Evil Shadow, I have no idea how powerful this thing is. What if the Evil Shadow is more dangerous than I thought?"
