Fire Monster

Chapter 132 Those who wish take the bait

"Brother Zhao, just tell us the specific rules and leave the rest to us. We guarantee that we will arrange everything perfectly for you!"

When Liu Yuwei led a full team of forty people and left on the imperial chariot, Wang Chen spoke directly, saying that things always change too fast. It can be seen that Master Zhao originally just wanted to live a low-key life, but a series of events followed one after another without even a sigh of relief.

Not only did Master Zhao almost expose his identity, but he also consumed a lot of his family's wealth. The most important thing was that he was forced to move from behind the scenes to the front stage.

This sounds helpless, but in fact, Wang Chen and others know very well why this is happening.
It's all of them that have dragged down Master Zhao!
Otherwise, think about it carefully, and be honest, think about it from beginning to end. Without Master Xiao Zhao, how many of their first team would be alive now?

Including the other teams, all the new recruits, and even that conscienceless Hu Baimu, all of them should have died long ago, completely dead.

It is impossible for anyone to survive this wave of evil demons. Does Xiao Baiyun think he can stop it?

Just relying on two double-seal martial artists and a third-level seal formation?
What a sweet dream!

It was all thanks to Mr. Zhao's efforts to turn the tide and perform various extreme operations that, in just two days, he not only rescued all of them, but also stabilized the situation, leading to the current good situation.

At this time, your Chief Secretary's people came to hand over the work and pick peaches? I'm going to hell!

Everyone must have a scale in their heart. If you don’t have one, then Zhao Chen will help you fill it up.

It's that simple.

"Okay! There are three things we need to do next." Zhao Guanshan didn't beat around the bush and assigned the tasks directly.

"The first thing to do is patrol and security. Brother Wang and Brother Mo will be in charge. At the same time, they also need to reorganize those new recruits."

"The second thing is, Brother Sun, contact Cuihonglou and ask them what they need, especially the criminals. Now that the situation has stabilized, we can send some supplies over. If possible, it would be best to establish a deal with them. The governor has cut off the spiritual supply line, so I guess they don't have many energy storage spiritual stones. We happen to have a lot of energy storage spiritual stones here."

"Anyway, you can decide the specific details yourself, Brother Sun."

"The third thing is to assemble the first-level spirit supply tower. I will be responsible for this personally. Brother Sun, please arrange for ten more people to come and help me."

After giving simple instructions, Zhao Guanshan got busy. Assembling a first-level spirit supply array is definitely a huge project, but he is the only one in the entire town who can do it.

He first had people pull out carts of rune spikes and arrange them according to the standard of thirty spikes every ten steps.

Then Zhao Guanshan himself had to hold the hammer and measure the circumference, width, and height of the entire city wall, monitor the original building structure and other details.

These are all important bases for calculating where the rune spikes should be inserted.

It is worth mentioning that rune spikes are very important. Almost all seal arrays require rune spikes to fix points in order to form a psychic circuit.

It is truly a process of forming lines from points, surfaces from lines, and three-dimensional solids from surfaces, ultimately forming a more complex spiritual power field.

This job may sound tiring, but it’s not really tiring.

After all, the foundations are intact. The underground seal formation and the city walls on the ground are all ready.

But just calculating this step is crazy.

Even though Zhao Guanshan's soul fire is now very powerful and his mental strength is even more extraordinary, he can only calculate slowly and smash down one rune spike after another.

Wang Chen, Sun Zei, Mo Laoer and the others had finished their own tasks, but when they turned around, they saw Zhao Guanshan standing there in a daze. They couldn't understand what was going on and didn't know why. They didn't dare to disturb him, let alone help.

Most of the day had passed, and Zhao Guanshan was still in the same position. The only change was that there were twelve more rune spikes on the city wall.

At the same time, in the barracks, Hu Baimu, who was under house arrest, was smiling silently.

"If you are willing, you will take the bait! I am using an open strategy, so I am not afraid that you, Zhao Guanshan, will not be fooled."

"You want to hear my advice, so I will give you the most pertinent advice. I will analyze the Demon Suppression Department, the Administrative Department, and the Taoist Temple. I will analyze the reasons why you will inevitably fail, and I will also analyze what you need to win this victory."

"You want the knowledge to deploy a level one spirit supply tower. I will give it to you word for word. With your level, you can tell if someone is lying as soon as you hear it, and you can tell if it can be operated as soon as you calculate it."

"Then, poor man, even if you are a genius, you will need at least a month to complete all the calculations. A level one spirit supply tower cannot be assembled by simply assembling it. You also need to debug the psychic vortex. The larger the range of the psychic vortex, the more precise the calculations need to be. If you make a mistake in calculating a rune spike, all your efforts will be wasted."

"And how much time do you have left?"

"Seven years ago, the evil spirits invaded Linjiang Prefecture, but they were repelled after one month and nine days."

"This time, even with all the changes, the entire war will not take more than two months."

"Zhao Guanshan, you don't have much time left."

-

About a hundred miles east of the Second Development Camp’s garrison is the Imperial Seal Great Wall of Linjiang Prefecture.

This was built two thousand years ago. In this world of cultivation that has been destroyed by evil demons, this is the last habitat for millions of humans.

Year after year, day after day, under the leadership of the Taoist Palace's Qi-refining masters, the human race continued to fight against the evil demons, constantly salvaging the lost homeland from the tide of demonic fire, piecing it together, and continuously extending outward.

This area outside the Imperial Seal Wall is called the Wasteland.

So far, the farthest distance this wasteland extends is nearly five hundred miles.

If someone could overlook Linjiang Prefecture from a broader perspective, they would find that this is a large ship floating above the demonic fire.

The tallest spirit-offering tower is the main mast of the ship, and the layers of demon-suppressing nets pulled down from it are the huge sails.

The five statues of immortals are the prows used to suppress large ships.

The Imperially Seal Great Wall is nothing more than a guardrail on the deck of a large ship.

At this moment, on the Imperial Seal Great Wall, which looked over a thousand meters high from the outside, an entrance slowly opened, and three first-level Imperial Seal chariots slowly drove out.

One of the first-level Imperial Seal chariots was towing a rail train full of supplies.

In addition, there were about fifty fully armed soldiers on the roof of the carriage.

The carriage of the Imperial Seal Chariot was also filled with soldiers, with a total strength of nearly a hundred people.

But there were only twelve people sitting in the imperially-sealed chariot in the front, and they were all acquaintances of Zhao Guanshan.

Su Hai, Li Chun, and Xiao Chengyun, a Qigong practitioner from a Taoist temple.

Xiao Chengyun was in a bad condition and her mood was not right. Her pretty face was as cold as ice, and she kept strangers away. She sat in a corner of the carriage and meditated.

Su Hai, Li Chun and others also looked depressed.

The Imperial Seal Chariot had been moving for a long time before Su Hai managed to force out a smile and said cautiously to Xiao Chengyun: "Master Military Supervisor, you are a magnanimous person. Calm down. Logically speaking, you are our savior. In this life, our whole family, young and old, will kowtow to you and pay their respects."

"I was wrong about what happened before. I shouldn't have acted on my own. I should have waited for that bastard Wei Tieniu for a while. I shouldn't have abandoned him on the road... Fortunately, the situation has stabilized now. Our Ninth Brigade has sealed the gap. There are no more eighth-level demons in this area. As long as we get our Imperial Seal Chariot back, everything will be back on track."

"Look, how about this? After this battle is over, we brothers will gather some merits for you and help you exchange it for a divine instrument?"

"No need for that. Once the Imperial Seal Chariot is repaired and I return to take over, I will apply to be transferred from your 12th Squad!"

Xiao Chengyun opened her eyes coldly, not hiding her disgust and contempt for Su Hai at all!

Who are these people!
Although she was just a Qi-refining practitioner who had not yet graduated from the Taoist academy and had little experience in the world, she would not be deceived by such sweet talk and lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Especially what happened in the past two days made her hate it even more.

Two days ago, a twelfth-level evil demon suddenly appeared and directly broke through the defense line of the Demon Suppression Bureau. The vast ocean of evil demons took advantage of the situation to attack.

As a result, a newly joined battalion could not hold out and a gap was opened. The 12th Squad and other squads were ordered to intercept them, but they were almost overwhelmed and had to choose to retreat.

These are fine. If she can't win, she will just run away. She doesn't want to die.

They fled all the way to the base of the Second Pioneer Camp. Another three-seal martial artist in the team, Wei Tieniu, insisted on getting off the bus and taking his friend Zhao Guanshan, who had served in the 12th Squad, with him.

Su Hai quarreled with him, so when Wei Tieniu got off the car, he ordered the Imperial Seal Chariot to continue evacuating and left Wei Tieniu behind.

After driving for dozens of miles, the Imperial Seal Chariot broke down. Su Hai led people to repair it, but they were ambushed by an eighth-level evil demon that was following them. It was all thanks to Xiao Chengyun that they rescued it, but the consequence was that at least thirty seventh-level evil demons were attracted.

They had no choice but to abandon the imperially-sealed chariots and fight while retreating.

The original team of eighteen people was reduced to only twelve people. It took a whole day and a night, and paid a huge price, to kill those seventh-level demons.

When he luckily returned to the Imperial Seal Great Wall, Xiao Chengyun was already at the end of his strength. Not only was he seriously injured, but all his magic talismans and magic weapons were used up, leaving him no longer able to fight.

She originally wanted to return to the Taoist temple to recuperate. She was a Qi Refiner and was qualified to do so.

But I never thought that Su Hai actually contacted the Chief Secretary and had to turn back halfway.

To be honest, if the consequences of losing the imperially-sealed chariot were not so serious, Xiao Chengyun would have parted ways with them long ago.

How ridiculous! It was ridiculous that she once thought that her identity as a Qigong practitioner was above everything else, but she never imagined that not only would she die on the battlefield, but she would also be schemed against by these hateful martial artists.

On the surface, they may flatter you, but when your life is really in danger, the so-called military supervisor and Qi-refiner is just a bait that can be discarded!
