"Wang Wu?"
"Is that the new weapon-refining expert from Seven Dragons Stronghold?"
"I've never heard of this name before! Where did it come from?"
"Seven Dragon Village is not what it used to be. If it continues to develop like this, I'm afraid it will soon be overshadowing us."
A very serious meeting is currently being held in Snow Wolf Valley, and today's losses are being disregarded.
Although they were ambushed by the Seven Dragons Stronghold and suffered some losses, they were all insignificant figures.
However, the rise of Seven Dragons Village has attracted great attention.
You should know that the Seven Dragons Stronghold would never have dared to inflict such a devastating blow on Snow Wolf Valley in the past.
"They've gotten too big for their britches."
“Those seven guys are obviously feeling confident now, thinking they can overpower us, so this is clearly a war.”
"Hmph! That Wang Wu is a rare talent. If our Snow Wolf Valley had someone like him, what would we have to fear from Black Dragon Mountain?"
"Why not just snatch it? I heard that Wang Wu's strength is only at the fifth level of the Star Realm, which is not worth mentioning at all. However, his ability to forge weapons is truly exceptional."
"Hehe, that makes sense! Although we lost quite a few men today, it was worth it to get this information."
Lu Chen's prediction was correct. His appearance did indeed change the landscape of the bandit community. This time, the Seven Dragons Stronghold launched a fierce attack on Snow Wolf Valley.
Snow Wolf Valley did not come to Seven Dragon Village to demand an explanation for this reason; instead, they remained completely silent.
The quieter it is, the stranger it seems.
Lu Chen knew that a great battle was imminent.
Sure enough, a month later, the entire Snow Wolf Valley army was mobilized and headed straight for Seven Dragon Village.
"Everyone from Seven Dragons Stronghold, come out and face your death!"
In mid-air, there were three thousand people, each riding a snow wolf, looking down at the Seven Dragons Stronghold, exuding a murderous aura.
In comparison, Seven Dragons Stronghold is much weaker, unable to match it in terms of numbers. All the people in Seven Dragons Stronghold combined don't even amount to two thousand, though in terms of the quality of their experts, they are about the same.
Faced with the provocation from Snow Wolf Valley, Seven Dragons Stronghold was in chaos. Everyone gathered in one place, and the underlings all looked at the seven leaders, waiting for their orders.
Since they dared to launch a sneak attack on Snow Wolf Valley, they were already prepared for a fight to the death.
This time, however, they were quite confident.
After more than a month of hard work, Lu Chen equipped most of the experts in the Seven Dragons Stronghold with full sets of armor and weapons.
Having guarded the Crimson Flame Iron Mine for so many years, Seven Dragons Stronghold had accumulated a considerable fortune, in addition to the materials obtained through regular raids.
Lu Chen had no time to rest; he worked very hard crafting weapons and armor on flat surfaces.
Of course, Lu Chen's efforts were not wasted.
These brothers from Seven Dragons Stronghold were very grateful. They knew that Lu Chen had a hard time, and they couldn't let him forge weapons for them for free just because he was now a member of Seven Dragons Stronghold. Of course, they had to give him some benefits.
As a result, Lu Chen earned a lot of star stones, as well as various rare treasures, lingzhi mushrooms, and immortal herbs.
Of course, they didn't know that Lu Chen had deducted a lot of their precious refining materials. In any case, these people who knew nothing about weapon crafting had no idea how many materials were needed to forge this weapon.
In short, whatever Lu Chen says goes.
As a result, Lu Chen accumulated a huge amount of refining materials, most of which were Crimson Flame Iron Ore.
However, thanks to Lu Chen's efforts, the overall strength of the Seven Dragons Stronghold has increased significantly, which is clearly visible to the naked eye.
That's why they had the confidence to challenge Snow Wolf Valley.
"Brothers, Snow Wolf Valley is already stepping on our heads. If we hide like cowards, are we even men?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill them!"
"Perfect timing to use these guys to test my new weapons."
"I've been fed up with those wolf cubs in Snow Wolf Valley for a long time. Let's fight them."
The people of Qilong Village were filled with righteous indignation, and their fighting spirit was boiling.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen felt an urge to remind them that it was no big deal and they should just let it go. Why fight to the death? However, he thought about how, over the past ten days, the bandits of Seven Dragons Stronghold had slaughtered countless innocent cultivators and robbed countless passersby. Their cruelty was no different from that of the other two bandit groups they considered vicious.
The slight reluctance in Lu Chen's heart quickly vanished.
"Kill them all! It's best to fight to the death, or at least everyone dies."
As a master weapon refiner, Lu Chen's own strength is too weak to be used as cannon fodder. On the contrary, Lu Chen is a treasure to the people of Seven Dragons Stronghold and must be protected.
“Brother Wang Wu, your strength is too weak, so you don’t need to fight. Go and hide in the main hall of my Seven Dragons Stronghold. There is a secret training room there. You should not be discovered if you hide in there.”
The head of the gang directly gave up his own training chamber to provide refuge for Lu Chen, which shows how much he values Lu Chen.
"What a joke! With a great battle imminent, we are also members of the Seven Dragons Stronghold. Of course, we will stand with our brothers through thick and thin. We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year. I will fight them to the death."
Lu Chen, however, adopted a righteous and indignant posture, speaking with righteous indignation. These words made the brothers of Seven Dragons Stronghold admire Lu Chen even more.
