Chapter 126 Rejecting a draw

The appearance of village chief Wang Shun did not disrupt Zhang Yang's plan.

The next day, Ryan, Wang Mumu and others set out again. This time there were more people, a full one hundred captain-level soldiers, plus Wang Shun's men, all of whom were sent to dig and transport coal.

Under the threat of powerful force, or in other words, under the threat of the mysterious and powerful Ghost Lady, they had no other choice.

Zhang Yang also asked craftsmen to build a hundred large sleds, each of which could carry five tons of coal, and park them in an area with deep snow 150 miles away. When the time comes, Wang Mumu will have to work a little harder to thicken, widen and harden the snow on the road so that the coal can be transported back quickly.

At the same time, Zhang Yang continued to produce seamless iron pipes. Every time he finished a batch, he would ask the construction team to take them out and assemble them.

This thing needs to be buried three meters deep underground, and then sealed with stone to prevent rust to the greatest extent. Although it may not be used for several years, as long as it can survive this winter, it will be the biggest victory for Zhang Yang.

It took Zhang Yang a full half month to complete the production of all the seamless iron pipes, and all the iron ingots were used up. As for the steel ingots, he made them into boilers for heating.

These heating pipes were provided to residents first, then to the barracks where soldiers lived, and finally there were none left. The castle where Zhang Yang and several heroes lived was not allocated any.

During this period, Ryan and others also sent back coal twice in a row, which was one thousand tons, which provided the greatest guarantee for the subsequent heating supply.

Zhang Yang supervised the whole process of adding water to the boiler, igniting the fire and providing heat, and locked every detail with his soul force field.

Although the drawings of this heating system were all obtained by him in exchange for the fragments of hope, and the heating boilers used were the simplest, this was an unfamiliar field after all.

After three days of hard work and solving many small problems, this heating system that can cover 900 people can finally be used normally.

With 24-hour heating, the temperature in every house will not drop below 24 degrees Celsius.

And just in case, the original earthen kangs, fireplaces and other heating equipment are retained in each house to prevent self-rescue when the temperature is too low and the heating system is ineffective.

When Ryan, Wang Mumu and others sent back the third batch of coal, Zhang Yang asked them to stop mining, and Wu Yuan also stopped cutting down trees. Now that there was enough fuel, there was no need to cut down all the trees, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the tide of earth-walking wood monsters next spring.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Next, I will take the mountain god to the trial. The result of this trip is unpredictable, so I must make arrangements in advance."

Inside the castle, Zhang Yang summoned the core members of all the villages, including the respected elders and craftsmen among the villagers, his own successor Zhang Wenyuan, the three wives of the village heads, and all the elite population.

"What if I don't come back——"

Zhang Yang's words shocked everyone in the room.

"Everyone, be quiet. I have my own opinion on this matter. This trial is necessary. If anything happens, Zhang Wenyuan will be the successor to the village chief. Wu Yuan, Lei En, Wang Shen, Wang Mumu, Duan Kuan, Liu Dali, Song Dachui, Zhao Tiezhu, Zhou Datou, and all of you must continue to swear allegiance to him and work hard to survive."

“Wu Yuan, come here. I’ll give you this Ice Marrow Pill. It can help you break through to the Transcendent level. By then, there will be two Transcendent heroes in the village. Add to that my previous arrangements, and even if that Ghost Lady advances to Ghost King, you will be able to hold out until spring.”

"Sir, I can't use this Ice Marrow Pill. You can take it yourself. This will also increase your chances of successfully completing the trial!" Wu Yuan was puzzled.

Zhang Yang curled his lips and thought, do you think I don't want to? I'm not a fool.

He had previously consumed 1,000 units of ghost crystals to exchange for this Ice Marrow Pill, intending to use it for himself. However, a message indicated that the Ice Marrow Pill was only effective after the first dose, and the effect would be halved after the second dose.

So after thinking seriously for a night, Zhang Yang made this decision in great depression.

Wu Yuan is the most prestigious hero in the village besides him, and he was completely delayed when he participated in the hero trial before, otherwise he would have been an extraordinary hero now.

Once a hero passes the trial, he will not be able to start another heroic trial. So from this point of view, it is necessary to give Wu Yuan this Ice Marrow Pill.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat it."

Zhang Yang said sternly that Wu Yuan was now a three-star hero, and had very good average attributes, so he was looking forward to seeing his performance after he became extraordinary.

"Thank you for your cultivation, sir. Even if I were to die, I would not be able to repay you."

Wu Yuan was also very excited and ate the Ice Marrow Pill on the spot.

But there was no change. This was normal. It was just a pill, not a tribulation or ascension.

Moreover, Wu Yuan's understanding and control of the vitality in the Ice Marrow Pill was much more proficient than Zhang Yang. He immediately took out the Hero's Spear and started waving it in the open space.

But the strange thing was that when Wu Yuan fired his gun, there was no sound. It was so light and fluttery, as if there was no force involved. And there was no pattern to it, he was just firing randomly.

There wasn't even any murderous intent coming out of his body. He looked like an ordinary person who was drunk.

While others were puzzled, Zhang Yang was about to clap his hands in admiration.

That’s awesome.

When he took the Ice Marrow Pill before, he was probably wasting at least 20% of its spiritual effect, and that was because his body was too weak and his soul power was exhausted.

But Wu Yuan is now in his prime, and as a result, not a bit of the effectiveness of the Ice Marrow Pill was wasted.

The drunk Wu Yuan continued to dance with his spear for a full hour, and there was nothing surprising from beginning to end, as if he had eaten Jinkela instead of a magic pill.

Everyone was puzzled by what they saw.

Finally, Wu Yuan put away his gun and stood up. There was no change in his whole body, even his height, weight and appearance were normal. The more this was the case, the more jealous Zhang Yang became.

That's right, it's jealousy. Even though he grew 5 cm taller after taking the Ice Marrow Pill, that was because he couldn't fully absorb the medicinal power, and then he used his soul force field to seal it tightly, which allowed the spiritual effect to spread throughout his body, thus making him grow 5 cm taller. It was a failure, okay?

Look at Wu Yuan, he has absorbed 100% of the spiritual effect of the Ice Marrow Pill.

"Thank you for your help, sir!"

Wu Yuan knelt down and kowtowed three times, then stood up and walked aside as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, hey, hey, Boss Wu, that's all?"

Song Dachui couldn't help but ask. He felt it was very weird. We watched for an hour, but you didn't even give us any special effects. Are you worthy of our monthly tickets?

"No, what else do you want? Do you really think I'm a monkey?" Wu Yuan replied with a smile.

A group of people didn't believe it.

Ryan even shouted, "Are you juggling?" He didn't even swallow the Ice Marrow Pill.

"Everyone be quiet, Wu Yuan is now extraordinary." Zhang Yang shouted, opened the village construction order, found Wu Yuan's attributes, and looked at the changes on it. He sighed, I can't compare, this cheater! When Wu Yuan was upgraded to a two-star hero, his attributes were strength B+, agility B+, defense C+, and soul C-.

By the time he breaks through to become a three-star hero, his attributes are Strength B+, Agility B+, Defense B-, and Soul C+.

And now, Mad!

Strength A-, Agility A-, Defense A-, Soul C+.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Damn, three extraordinary attributes, my god, even Zhang Yang is going crazy with envy.

Three extraordinary attributes, what does that mean?

Well, he didn’t know what the concept was either, as it was his first time encountering it.

But the following attributes are enough to explain everything.

"Talent, Gun Soul, Great Strength, Critical Hit."

"Skills, Fight in All Directions, Soul-Severing Stab."

"Heroic aura, long rainbow piercing the sun, the effect is, the murderous aura is released, forming substance, the void becomes a spear, long rainbow piercing the sun."

"The heroic aura is as powerful as thunder."

——

"Wu Yuan, how many Wang Mumu can you kill now?"

Zhang Yang asked at this time, because judging from his attributes, Wu Yuan was undoubtedly very awesome, but it was hard to say to what extent.

Wang Mumu has two extraordinary attributes, so he is the best reference.

Wu Yuan turned around and glanced at Wang Mumu, "My Lord, I can't kill many Wang Mumu. I can only say that if it's a life-and-death battle, I can defeat him within three shots."

"What if we meet the orc lord again?"

"Three shots will kill."

"Where's Ryan?"

"Three shots to defeat."

"Except Wang Mumu, where are all the three members of the Violent Bear Group?"

"It only takes one shot."

"What about me?"

"Well, it depends on the situation. If there is a fire near you, sir, I will turn around and run as far as I can."

Zhang Yang laughed, very satisfied with the answer, but he still had one last question.

"If I don't get back in time, and the Ghost Lady becomes a Ghost King, what are your chances of winning?"

"I don't know, sir, because no one knows how powerful the Ghost Queen is, so there is no way to compare. However, I can guarantee that the village will no longer be surrounded by clouds of yin energy, so that even the wind cannot blow in. Combined with the mountain god's wind-calling technique, and with your presence in person, we will definitely be able to fight the Ghost Queen to a draw."

"So, I beg you not to go to any mountain god trial!"

Wu Yuan knelt down again, and the others quickly knelt down and begged. It was really what Zhang Yang said this time that frightened them all. What if he really never came back? Zhang Yang watched silently, but didn't say anything else and left.

He is not so willful, but he has a broader vision!

So what if she fought the Ghost Queen to a draw? Spring came, the Yang Qi rose, and the Yin Qi retreated, but the Ghost Queen would not return to the abyss. She would only hide in a place where the Yin Qi was more stagnant, waiting for the arrival of the next winter.

Moreover, this guy is very intelligent. As long as he is still alive, you never know what kind of tricks he will play.

For example, the Ghost Queen can transform into a beautiful woman. It is estimated that all human villages will not be able to discover its disguise. Then it will attack the human villages one by one, and attack all people, no, even those alien villages. Then there will be thousands and tens of thousands of Ghost Mother's sons, comparable to a tide of zombies.

What to do then? Do you really think you can relax after a draw? Pah! In Zhang Yang's opinion, there is no such thing as a draw in this fantasy world. If you win, you live, and if you lose, you die.

A draw is also a dead end.
