Fire Monster

Chapter 139 The Second NPC Female Teammate (Additional Chapter 2005 for Book Friend Xueshan Yuanfeng 23)

"She should be fine now, but she needs at least a month of rest before she can recover. Otherwise, her foundation may be damaged."

"Commander, she and I are of different genders, so it's not easy for me to come and take care of her often. I'm sorry to bother you first. After she wakes up, we can discuss other things."

"Also, I also need to rest for half a day. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the many matters outside."

Zhao Guanshan gave Liu Yuwei instructions solemnly.

The series of events in the past few days really made him worried.

However, it is expected that after the news of today's incident is reported back, the third seal of the Governor will probably be a little confused. He hired Su Hai's team to take over to show their power, not to let Su Hai's team massacre the camp.

The ones who should have a headache about this matter are the Chief Secretary and the Demon Suppression Department.

No matter what, you can't just start shooting as soon as you come up. Shooting would be one thing, but you would also be killed in return.

It would be fine if it was a counterattack, but there is also a military supervisor, a Qi-refining master, who was detained. This matter is too complicated.

So based on this, Zhao Guanshan was not in a hurry.

Let’s study his four-star heroes first.

Liu Yuwei nodded, but after Zhao Guanshan turned and left, she couldn't help but call him.

"Zhao—Zhao Guanshan."

"Well, Commander, is there anything else?"

"Oh, that's fine. I just want to ask if I should talk to everyone individually. There are a total of 109 people at the scene just now. I can guarantee that they are all willing to keep your secret."

"That's a good feeling, but there's no need to force it. I've let it go." Zhao Guanshan smiled slightly, no longer obsessed with his great cause.

After all, could Xiao Chengyun really keep this matter a secret?

Liu Yuwei pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then looked at him seriously and said:

"I-I support you no matter what!"

At this moment, her eyes were clear and bright, and after looking up, she suddenly had an illusion.

Zhao Guanshan seemed to see a forest in the early morning, with golden sunlight pouring down from the gaps between the treetops and leaves, and lush green spreading out wantonly, with vitality flowing everywhere. He really wanted to take a bite.

"Thank you!"

Zhao Guanshan was speechless. What a weird illusion.

In the next room, he sat cross-legged, visualizing the Lihuo Dao Talisman, entering the visualization world, and then entering the ruins of the building that required walking several hundred meters along a winding bluestone path.

Here, on three intact stone platforms, the statue of Zhao Guanshan is in the center, with Liu Yuwei on the left and Xiao Chengyun on the right.

The stone platform under the feet of the three people is the biggest change this time.

Below Liu Yuwei's statue, the power of the Qingmu Taoist Talisman has obviously grown stronger, and the green is lush and green. The originally pure white stone platform has actually turned a light green.

Mysterious runes can be vaguely seen among them.

These mysterious runes are faintly connected to the three stars at the top of Liu Yuwei's statue.

Now, the first two stars remain dim, but the third star becomes slightly brighter. Zhao Guanshan immediately thinks of the illusion he had when he saw Liu Yuwei just now. She is full of vitality and vigor, and has an urge to reproduce.

I guess this is the reason.

"So, at this accumulation rate, every ten days, the pure Yang vitality accumulated by Liu Yuwei can light up a rune star, especially for me, and maybe for Xiao Chengyun as well."

Zhao Guanshan was deeply moved. This was truly a great team effort!

Then, his gaze fell to the feet of his statue. It was still the same as before, with no discernible changes.

Finally, he looked at the statue of Xiao Chengyun again. The Qianjin Taoist talisman was flowing and running on the stone platform, and there was a strong, sharp and dangerous power brewing in it.

The four corresponding rune stars all lit up.

In fact, completely different from Liu Yuwei, Xiao Chengyun's first rune star had already been lit up once and was currently equivalent to the first level.

Zhao Guanshan stared for a moment, and his consciousness sensed the meaning of the first rune star.

"It's also a support type, with shock and dispel effects, but in reality, it's more inclined towards offense rather than healing."

So Zhao Guanshan stared at the second rune star again.

"This is - a bit like a buff-enhancing rune skill. Well, the specific effect is that within a certain area, a certain person can be designated to temporarily receive the buff of the Qianjin Dao Talisman, just like the blessing of an immortal?"

Zhao Guanshan suddenly became interested and continued to analyze and understand. He roughly calculated a range and finally translated it into the jargon of Earth.

"Within a hundred meters, designate a certain person and let this person gain the three-second Qianjin Dao Fu stacking effect. Then, this person will enjoy about 10% increase in damage in the next attack? No, not only that, it should also have the special effects of breaking shields and piercing armor."

"It can even form a golden sword energy out of thin air!"

"Awesome! This must be lit up, but the prerequisite is that Xiao Chengyun can be obedient and stay in my team. Otherwise, if I light it up, it will just be a dowry for others."

When Zhao Guanshan thought of this, he had a headache. This was the reality. He thought she was an NPC female teammate, but in fact, she could leave or stay as she pleased. So what if he lit up the rune star? She would only think that she had understood it herself.

"In fact, if Xiao Chengyun's rune star is lit up, it will be a match made in heaven for Liu Yuwei. With Liu Yuwei's psychic longbow sniping effect, the damage will be increased by 10%, with shield breaking and armor piercing effects. Wow!"

"Who cares? Light it up first and enjoy it!"

After lighting up once, the other three rune stars immediately dimmed. This was as expected. Zhao Guanshan was not surprised, nor did he try to investigate what type of runes they were because it was really difficult to explore.

Fortunately, these can be lit up one by one in the future, so there is no need to rush. Next, Zhao Guanshan wanted to exit the visualization world, but after his eyes swept across the two broken stone platforms, he couldn't help but step forward to check them out. As a result, as soon as he touched the cracked stone platform, various images flashed back rapidly like a revolving lantern.

In other words, his mental power is still strong enough, otherwise he would not be able to remember the scene that flashed by so quickly.

After about ten seconds, the image on the stone platform disappeared, as if it was just some kind of recording medium.

When Zhao Guanshan touched it again, the quickly passing image appeared again, but this time, the image disappeared in the eighth second.

"what?"

He didn't touch it again, but fell into deep thought and reminiscence.

In the 18-second footage that just appeared on this stone platform, there were a total of 15 statues of different genders. Among them were three men, who were suspected to be the three ancestors of the Zhao family, all of whom died young.

There are twelve statues left, eight of which are female statues and four are male statues.

They didn't know what their relationship was with the Zhao family, but judging from their facial features, it was unlikely that they were descendants of the Zhao family.

Combined with Zhao Guanshan’s own experience, he could probably guess that these were probably the selected NPC teammates.

The protagonists, without exception, are all ancestors of the Zhao family, just like Zhao Guanshan at this moment.

The conditions for being selected are very strict, but it is not limited to women, men can also be selected.

"So, what's the meaning of being chosen? Is it for the three helpers of one hero, or for collecting the seven dragon balls - oh, is it for collecting the five powers of gold, wood, water, fire and earth to open the dimensional wall or something?"

"There are many talented people among the ancestors of the Zhao family. If I can open this place, then they can too. They had the support of a real family background, so it should have been easy for them to gather the five chosen ones, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. But the final result was still death."

“Is the cause of death related to this?”

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanshan walked to the stone platform that was split in half and touched it, but there was no reaction. He could see that the inside of the stone platform was covered with cracks. He tapped it lightly with his fingers and it broke into powder.

This is completely useless.

"Interesting! My ancestors failed when they gathered the five powers of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Now I only have three stone platforms left, so there is definitely no hope."

Zhao Guanshan smiled, but didn't care too much about it.

If this road is blocked, just take another one.

At that moment, he withdrew from the world of visualization, dispersed all distracting thoughts, and began his daily practice that had been delayed for a long time.

Perhaps it was due to his experiences during this period, or perhaps it was some other reason, but this time his attempt to open the eleventh cycle of Qi Refining was unprecedentedly smooth.

Even the vitality generated in the body seemed to be more vigorous.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Guanshan slowly woke up from his practice and felt great. Now he only needed one more cycle to condense pure yang energy in the true sense.

"Try to condense it within ten days."

After making a plan for himself, he pushed the door open and walked out. There were actually two martial arts apprentices standing guard at the entrance of Xiao Chengyun's room.

He asked and found out that it was already midnight.

Counting it all, it has been sixty hours since the breach on the front line collapsed.

"Brother Zhao, why did you come out? Commander Liu said you were practicing and asked us not to disturb you."

When they reached the ground floor of the barracks, they saw Sun Zei, Mo Laoer, Wang Chen, Yu Che, Deng Jiu, Zhang Qian and a group of people there, worrying about the damaged imperial chariot.

Ever since they got the Imperial Seal Chariot, none of them wanted to go back to the old days.

"I'm fine. Have you found the reason why this Imperial Seal Chariot was damaged?"

Zhao Guanshan said half-jokingly.

"Brother Zhao, you are joking. We don't have that ability. We have to rely on you. But then again, this imperial chariot seems a little too easy to damage." Wang Chen said at this time.

"That's right. It seems to be very fragile and will break down if hit. It would be great if we had a level three imperially-sealed chariot." Deng Jiu said with great distress. He was the one driving this chariot before and he felt guilty about it for a long time.

"The third-level Imperial Seal chariot will also break down. By the way, the other first-level Imperial Seal chariot will also be unable to start, right?" Zhao Guanshan asked at this time.

"Yes, it can't be started either, and the damage is more serious."

"Okay, let's repair this one first." Zhao Guanshan nodded and asked people to start dismantling it. He had actually guessed where the problem occurred, and it was not a big problem. It could be restored by replacing a few hand-rubbed parts.

However, similar failures will continue to occur in this Imperially Seal Chariot in the future because the dual-engine parallel matrix in the internal core lacks sufficient shock buffering.

This is not to say that there is no buffering device, but it is still not up to standard.

Just think about it, this is a behemoth of about 80 tons, which hits another equally huge iron lump at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, but it did not disintegrate or explode on the spot, but only the body of the car was slightly deformed. Isn't it amazing enough?

So he had no intention of solving this problem because he couldn't.

He didn't think he was better than the master craftsmen in the factories directly under the Demon Suppression Bureau in this regard.

So make do with it.

In less than an hour, Zhao Guanshan had repaired the Imperial Seal Chariot. It was really very simple. The only thing he needed to do was to pay attention to zero pollution from demonic energy.

Just as he was about to repair the first-level imperial chariot driven by Su Hai's team, Liu Yuwei came over.

"The military supervisor has woken up and asked to see you."
