Chapter 92 Give me an hour and I'll give you a cultivator
Duan Kuan's heroic trial was postponed for another day.
Because Zhang Yang made a bison tower shield for Wang Mumu using the essence and blood of 12 bison monsters. Its quality was about half that of the Stag Tower Shield, but it was enough.
In addition, Zhang Yang also took the time to nurture 200 spears of confinement and 20 evil-killing swords. Fortunately, his current soul strength is A-superb, otherwise he would be exhausted to death.
After explaining the affairs of the village again, Zhang Yang started the hero trial in the castle.
The moment one thousand points of energy were consumed, white light lit up.
"You have confirmed to start the Hero Trial."
"You have confirmed the successor to the village chief, Mu Shaojun, 13 years old. When the previous holder of the Xuanhuan Village Construction Order dies, he will automatically become the new holder of the Village Construction Order. At the same time, the village built by the previous village chief will automatically become a wild monster camp, and all soldiers, villagers and heroes will automatically become wild monsters and wild monster leaders."
"All conditions for opening the Hero Trial are met. Please select the difficulty of the trial."
"Friendly reminder, since you are a lord and have already entered the extraordinary realm, the rewards for participating in the regular hero trial will be forcibly deducted by 75%, but you can choose the extraordinary trial (please click here)."
Zhang Yang hesitated for only a moment before choosing the Extraordinary Trial. As he said before, he had no other choice.
"The difficulty and rewards of the Extraordinary Trial are unknown. There are no main or side quests. Please explore freely. There is no time limit for the Extraordinary Trial. Even if you have just started the trial, as long as you are sure that you are not in a combat state, you can interrupt the trial and return at any time without any penalty."
Just this one piece of information immediately made Zhang Yang alert.
"Moutai, didn't you actually erase the Dafa?"
"what to do?"
For a moment Zhang Yang was very hesitant, but when he looked back, he knew he had no choice. It would take another three months for the new season's crops to mature, and it would be useless to rely solely on hunting monsters.
Wu Yu told him personally that in this fantasy world, apart from those disgusting bugs, there were no native beasts, or even if there were any, they had all been eaten. All the monsters were bound together through the village building order, and they devoured and killed each other for food.
It's okay for a small wandering group like theirs, but a large village with hundreds or thousands of people simply cannot survive without farming.
"Duan Kuan, this trial will be more dangerous and difficult than Wu Yuan's last trial. Are you afraid?"
Zhang Yang asked Duan Kuan again.
"I'm not afraid of anything as my sword points to me!" This guy has a will as strong as iron.
"Okay, let's go and carve out a niche for ourselves."
——
The white halo gradually dissipated, and Zhang Yang was a little dazed. He had just experienced the rotation of time and space like the movement of stars. The huge impact force even made him unable to remember who he was?
Fortunately, these discomforts soon dissipated, and he gradually regained his soul memory. At the same time, he gradually collected the surrounding environmental factors.
"Duan Kuan is not with me. This is really the most unfortunate start."
"There is a strong smell of blood."
"There's the sound of burning wood. Is this a battlefield?"
"Something is flying in the sky, with a wingspan of at least five meters. It doesn't look like a vulture, but is gliding as if on patrol. It could be a dangerous target."
"I seem to be buried under a dead body."
"The soul force field is recovering, but my limbs are numb from the pressure. Damn it."
Zhang Yang calculated and analyzed silently, and did not even dare to release the soul force field. It was not until the sound of flying in the sky disappeared for a long time that he carefully released the soul force field, made sure the surroundings were safe, and then climbed out with difficulty.
What I saw was the ruins of a village.
There were corpses everywhere, including men, women, young and old. Judging from their clothes, they were all ordinary people, but they were not killed by some kind of weapon, at least not by human weapons.
Zhang Yang squatted down and carefully observed a corpse that was torn apart at the waist. From the degree of fracture of the wound, the broken internal organs, the twisted cervical vertebrae, and the marks on the head and legs, he quickly made a judgment.
"The murderer is about three meters tall and weighs five hundred kilograms. His strength is at least C+, so he could tear a 1.7 meter tall adult man in half like a toy. It's inhuman."
"The deceased was a human, with yellow skin, male, about 30 to 35 years old, with his hair tied up and a five-centimeter beard. His clothes were made of linen, with a retro style, and the cloth shoes on his feet were handmade. So this is the background of ancient Earth?"
Zhang Yang talked to himself, then he examined several bodies with different causes of death and finally came to a general conclusion.
This is a human village with a population of about 500, most of whom are engaged in agriculture. Then, for some unknown reason, they were massacred by inhuman monsters.
There are about twenty of these non-human monsters, and there are three types in total.
A giant monster with great strength, it attacks by tearing with bare hands.
Heart-eating type, likes to blow open the target's chest with one blow and devour the heart. The initial judgment is that the attack method is a long tongue or sharp claws.
It is a jumping type and is good at jumping. It attacks from the top of the target's head. It should be small in size and weigh no more than 30 kilograms. When attacking, it will ride on the target's shoulders, use its sharp claws to dig open the target's head and devour the brain.
"There is no doubt that this extraordinary trial includes the Lord Trial and the Hero Trial, so Duan Kuan and I were separated. I hope this kid will be more alert and not die in this trial."
Zhang Yang pondered, then clicked on the village construction order and found that all functions were there, except for one thing that was the same as the previous trial, which was that weapons could not be carried.
"But even if it's an extraordinary trial, it won't give a hellish start. For example, the temporarily safe village where I am now is giving me a chance to find weapons. I guess Duan Kuan is the same."
"So it's almost certain that this kind of extraordinary trial is not only a test of one's combat capability, but also a test of one's thinking and reasoning ability, as well as the ability to stand on one's own. Fortunately, I brought Duan Kuan with me this time instead of Song Dachui. A fool like him would be 100% dead here."
"When the monster attacked, the villagers fought back, as can be seen from the wooden forks, kitchen knives, and sticks they held in their hands. This even shows that this was not the first time the villagers had encountered this kind of monster, otherwise they would have been scared and run around instead of resisting like an egg hitting a stone."
"If that's the case, then there must be one or more people in this village who have organized the villagers. If I can find them, I might be able to get better quality weapons."
Zhang Yang thought quickly and clearly, while at the same time releasing his soul force field, searching for every trace of the battlefield and every corpse. He then deduced the circumstances at the time based on their postures before death, and then constantly revised his guesses and reasoning.
Finally, Zhang Yang found the first battlefield on the bank of a small river outside the village.
The battlefield was behind a small woods and was very hidden. If Zhang Yang had not guessed it all the way here, it would have been impossible to find it by just searching the ruins of the village, unless he ran into it head-on.
There are four corpses here, but they are different from the villagers because they are all wearing black armor, obviously they died after a fight. There is also a monster corpse here, which is exactly the giant monster that Zhang Yang had deduced before, but the height and weight are different. This giant monster is covered with thick black scales, which are very similar to the scales on the armor worn by the four soldiers.
"As I expected, the war between the humans in this world and these monsters and demons has been going on for some time, so much so that the army of this world has begun to change into armor made of monster scales."
"The combat effectiveness of these four soldiers is very strong. Otherwise, they would not be able to kill a giant monster with the strongest defense when facing more than 20 monsters besieging them. In addition, they died from the harassment attack of jumping monsters. If I encounter them in the future, I must be very careful."
While Zhang Yang was thinking, he quickly stripped off the armor of the four soldiers, including the weapons in their hands, a broken large shield, a long sword, a spear made of fine steel, an octagonal hammer, a broken longbow and 28 golden-feathered arrows.
"Those monsters should have come from the other side of the river. There is a mountain on the opposite side. A fortress building can be vaguely seen on the mountain. In addition, there are smoke rising, which means that there is a military building similar to the Great Wall in that place. So are these monsters a small invasion or a collapse of the human army's defense line?"
"It's unlikely that the defense line will collapse. The footprints of these monsters show that this is a small infiltration. If this is the case, this small group of monsters will soon be discovered and strangled by the human army, and the tragedy of this village will also be discovered by the human army soon. I can't stay here for long, at least not until I can explain my origins clearly."
"Of course, if Duan Kuan was with me, then our best option would be to follow the trail of those monsters and kill them. As long as we kill a few monsters, we can happily integrate into this world. What a pity."
At that moment, Zhang Yang did not hesitate. Carrying the weapons and armor weighing nearly 200 kilograms, he followed the footprints of the giants, walked into the stream, and went downstream. After about three or four miles, he finally got ashore at a shore covered with pebbles. Of course, he did not forget to wash the blood stains on the weapons and armor with river water.
Then he found a valley with deep forests and dense grass on the side of the mountain. He didn't plan to hide for long, just give himself an hour or two of buffer time.
Because he needs to use the soul force field to temper and nourish these armors and weapons, he is not just good at rubbing wooden spears.
“What a unique material, and what superb forging skills.”
When Zhang Yang used his soul force field to examine those armors and weapons, he discovered that the human race in this world could actually forge steel that was just as hard as modern steel on Earth.
"It seems that this is at least a medium-level demon world. It's a pity that the giant monster died a long time ago and its blood has dispersed. Otherwise, I would know whether their blood contains magic power."
"And now, the hardness of these weapons is sufficient, but if they are to be transformed into weapons that I can use, they need to be tempered and nurtured further."
Zhang Yang thought about it and started collecting firewood in the valley. Without magic power to support him, he could only light a fire. As for the smoke, he didn't have to worry about it. He could suppress it and blow it away with his soul force field. As long as the flame was lit, he could construct a second closed circle, forming a curved force field, sucking in all the smoke and flames, and then further burning and compressing them by swallowing the air.
He is very familiar with this routine.
"Relax and give me an hour, and I'll give you a cultivator!"
