Fire Monster

Chapter 20 Seizing Power
"Then what do you think we should do?"

The captain couldn't help but said angrily that this liberal arts kid was talkative and whining, especially his confident look as if he had everything under control, which made him very unhappy.

"I want the command of the entire team. I want to be the captain!"

Zhao Guanshan said without hesitation.

"You are dreaming. Who do you think you are?"

The captain was really angry at this time, and everyone else was laughing out of anger.

"Don't think that just because you can assemble these psychic weapons, you can command us!"

For a time, everyone was very angry.

But Zhao Guanshan shook his head, "It has nothing to do with whether I can assemble these psychic weapons, but that I can see farther and more."

"You all must know that the Soul Supplying Array is the core of assembling psychic weapons, but how many Soul Supplying Arrays do you think can be found in this entire small town?"

"Judging from the size of the town and the efficiency of our search, there are at most three spirit-supplying arrays, and at least one. I think the former is the most likely, which means we have to spend the night here twice, which is also in line with the three-day requirement for the Demon Village bounty this time."

"But have you ever thought about this? Even if we are lucky enough to find a spiritual array on the first day and successfully assemble a psychic weapon, ask yourself, do you think we can survive the first night safely with this psychic weapon?"

"What a joke! If I give you command and let you be the captain, you can get us through the first night?" the captain said coldly.

"Yes! Because I have a psychic crossbow in my hand. I can dismantle it immediately and then use one day to assemble a first-level sealed hut. With this, it will be no problem to survive the first night. Then we will have the advantage of two days. If we are lucky, we can assemble at least two psychic weapons by tomorrow evening."

After hearing Zhao Guanshan's decisive words, all the martial arts students hesitated. This was indeed a path they had never thought of.

"But what does this have to do with your command? If you want to assemble the Imperial Seal Hut, we will all cooperate with you. Can you still command us to fight against that fourth-level evil demon? If you are the first to lead the charge, then we will obey you!"

Someone shouted, and Zhao Guanshan took a look and saw that the guy was called Chen Su.

"Because this is not a simple battle problem. Haven't you figured it out? The new Demon Village bounty mission added by the Taoist Academy is very difficult. It not only tests a person's strength and will, but also tests teamwork, adaptability, etc. I don't want to waste my breath trying to convince you idiots when the critical moment comes and an emergency occurs."

"Ha, you sound so reasonable. What evidence do you have? It's as if you were the one who arranged the bounty mission in the Taoist temple." Someone else sneered.

"I don't need evidence, because the truth is here, money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat! The final reward of four Dao Palace coins, everyone, use your brains and ask yourself, are you good-looking or have you got something special that can make the Dao Palace simply hand over four big coins to you?"

"So this time the Demon Village bounty mission will be even more difficult, even more difficult than I said!"

"Think about it. The evil demons will launch a large-scale attack every seven or eight years, or at most every ten years. Now it has been seven years since the last large-scale attack by the evil demons. The Taoist Academy has added this kind of demon village bounty mission at this time. Could it be that they have nothing else to do?"

"So, why don't you seize every opportunity now to make yourself stronger? Why do you have to be like a child, calculating and acting on impulse?"

"Who do you think is more likely to lead you to complete the mission and get four Dao Palace coins? Is it you, him, or me?"

"Which is more important, four large coins or the humiliation of being bossed around by a liberal arts student?"

Zhao Guanshan's words finally moved the martial arts students, including the angriest captain.

Indeed, compared to emotional disputes, interests are the most important, especially when Zhao Guanshan speaks eloquently.

"I just have one question, how do you command us to fight?"

"Simple. I'll let you be in charge of the battle, but I have to control the overall situation."

"Okay, now that you've convinced me, I want to see if you have the ability to help us win those four big coins."

"I won't make any promises about this, but I will definitely try my best to do my best. You are gambling, and so am I. And the price I pay is even greater."

Zhao Guanshan waved the psychic crossbow in his hand. "Once the spiritual array inside is used to assemble the Imperial Seal Hut, it cannot be dismantled in a short time. Once we lose and have to ring the bell to retreat, it means that I will never get this spiritual array back."

"This is my greatest sincerity. I hope you all will not harbor any resentment. Wouldn't it be nice for us to work together and win the bounty together?"

"Okay! Your name is Zhao Guanshan, right? We will listen to you. Let's put aside our prejudices. You are the captain, so give the orders."

Chen Su, who had been quite dissatisfied before, suddenly said that even he was convinced, let alone others.

This team that had excluded him finally looked like something serious.

"Thank you, everyone. Now let me tell you about my plan. Our focus today should be on two things. First, we need to build a first-level imperial seal hut immediately. This will take a day. At the same time, I also need someone to help me and provide vigilance."

"Second, search for supplies. You may not be able to recognize all the parts of the psychic weapons, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can carry it, you must bring it back, no matter how big or small. Even if you are unsure or don't recognize it, don't miss it."

"However, my suggestion is to divide into four groups of two. Even if it slows down the search for supplies, we must ensure absolute safety."

"At the same time, the four of you cannot be too far apart from each other. You can be in charge of this."

Zhao Guanshan looked at the captain. Actually, this guy did a good job. As the only martial arts student with his natal talisman engraved on him, he was very strong.

"No problem. Also, my name is Shu Mian."

The other party nodded, but couldn't help asking, "Zhao Guanshan, I don't mean to offend you, but can you really assemble a first-level imperial seal hut? I remember that there is no knowledge about this in the six liberal arts courses."

"Of course not, but there is a related course. It is the most difficult and useless course among the three elective courses. It is the preliminary understanding and simple application of the three simple amplitudes of psychic energy. The first amplitude is used to make the Imperial Seal Hut."

"You can look down on liberal arts students, but you'd better not look down on the six liberal arts courses. The knowledge is there. Whether you can learn it depends on your own ability."

Zhao Guanshan smiled slightly. He had managed to get full marks in all six courses, even though the courses did not directly explain how to build the Imperial Seal Hut.

But the core knowledge is clearly written there.
