Chapter 413: The Return of the Wooden Spear
The night is like a fog, reflecting the campfire, floating up and down.
Five old cowhide tents were arranged in a semicircle, with two large carts in front forming a barrier and 80 chevaux de frise behind.
Not far away, a dozen horses were leisurely eating wild grass, and two sentries were on guard, one in the light and one in the dark.
Zhang Yang's team became more and more adept at setting up camp, and they felt more and more comfortable in such a quiet world.
After the previous battle, he still had 12 soldiers left. In addition to Carly, there were veteran Robert, veteran Norton who was newly upgraded to an assault swordsman, two armed infantrymen Blue and Iger, mercenary shooter Anderson, sword and shield infantryman Tony, and Pender infantryman Bob. The rest were militiaman Ender, militiaman Jack, militiaman Ward, militiaman Boris, and militiaman Hank.
There are fewer people, but the relationship is more harmonious and the sense of identity is higher, at least for the veteran Robert and the other former deserters. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhang Yang gave each of them a salary and a kill bonus.
It was for this reason that Zhang Yang would boldly hand over the guard duties to veteran Robert when they camped every evening.
He could finally hide in the cowhide tent and visualize and copy the soul-nourishing talisman.
After this period of accumulation, he felt that he was only one step away from breaking through the fourth level of the Soul-Nourishing Talisman.
Around dawn, there was a sudden roar in Zhang Yang's mind. At that moment, he felt his soul soaring into the air and finding himself in a dark world. Then, as his mind moved slightly, a golden flower bud emerged from this dark world, and then gradually bloomed. One, two, three, and four petals were formed, and began to slowly rotate.
At this moment, Zhang Yang felt a faint breath of clarity injected into his soul, which dissipated all his tiredness.
At this moment, he suddenly became aware of something, and felt that golden lights were shooting towards him from the horizon like sharp arrows.
With a start, Zhang Yang woke up from his meditation and found that it was already bright day and the sun was rising in the east.
He sat quietly for a whole night, but he didn't feel tired at all. It seemed as if his body was filled with infinite power.
"It's not easy. I finally got to this point again."
Zhang Yang sighed softly, casually pulled out an assassin's flying knife, and stared at it. In a moment, the assassin's flying knife slowly floated up from his hand. Although it could only float a few centimeters in the end, it meant that he could finally release his soul power.
Looking at his attributes again, his intelligence actually increased by 2 points at once and is currently 21 points.
"interesting."
After a brief thought, Zhang Yang added all the two free attribute points he had gained from the previous upgrade to agility, and the four free skill points to Iron Bone, Power Attack, and Throwing skills respectively.
At this point, his attributes became——
Name: Theo
Age: 17
Level: 15
Main occupation: Mercenary
Health: 68 Strength: 16 Agility: 16 Intelligence: 21 Charisma: 6 Two-handed proficiency: 105 One-handed proficiency: 112 Throwing proficiency: 255 Skills: Iron Bone level 4, Power Attack level 2, Throwing level 5, Riding level 6, Horse Archery level 4, Healing level 2, Surgery level 2.
When they walked out of the tent, Carly had already prepared breakfast with the two village girls. Anderson helped the driver feed all the horses. Tony and Bob were Zhang Yang's bodyguards and had been guarding his tent. In addition to Zhang Yang, the most important supplies of the team were also kept here.
Veterans Robert and Norton have called up the rest of the soldiers and have been training them for an hour.
Although Zhang Yang's team is small in number, they have a clear division of labor and everyone has their own responsibilities.
"Bob, notify everyone that we will camp here for a day and set out tomorrow." Zhang Yang called out. This place was very remote and he wanted to do some of the experiments he had envisioned today.
After breakfast, Zhang Yang told Robert to send out sentries, and then he entered the tent with some materials. He first quickly built a simple and rough triangular altar, and then carefully cut three wooden spears and inserted them on the edge of the triangular altar.
Only then did Zhang Yang take out the devil gold and placed it on the triangular altar. Then he closed his eyes, released his soul, and tried to penetrate into the devil gold.
After a full hour, the demonic gold suddenly began to melt, and a strange power emanated from it, and Zhang Yang immediately gave guidance.
At this moment he was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and for a moment, even his eyes turned as dark as ink, as if they were dyed, but in the end he still controlled the strange power in the devil's gold and gradually guided it to the three wooden spears beside the triangular altar.
"Magic Words: Imprisonment!"
After Zhang Yang uttered this obscure demonic syllable with great difficulty, with a whoosh, the melted demon gold turned into a ball of black flame and then split into three and injected into the three wooden spears.
The next moment, all the strange scenes disappeared. Zhang Yang was so tired that his eyes rolled back and he collapsed on the ground like a dead dog.
But only the three originally ordinary wooden spears have become as black as ink, and even the material has undergone a fundamental change. If you look closely, you can even see intricate and obscure patterns imprinted on them. Even if you look at them for a second, you will have the illusion that your thinking is imprisoned.
"hehe!"
Zhang Yang, who was lying on the ground, laughed silently.
It’s not easy, the Spear of Imprisonment has finally made a comeback!
He didn't need to look to know how powerful these three spears of confinement were. The most important point was that as long as his soul-nourishing talismans continued to be upgraded, the range of his soul's external release would be expanded, and eventually a soul force field could be formed, then these spears of confinement would be as terrifying as flying swords.
It took Zhang Yang a whole morning to slowly recover. He found a piece of animal skin and hid the three spears of confinement. This would be his trump card. Even if he met the heretic black knight from a few days ago again, he could kill him with one spear.
The only pity is that demon gold is hard to get.
Of course, it would be even better if he could get the world's most precious treasure, the Dragon's Tear Gem.
The next morning, Zhang Yang's team set out again. No one knew that he already had three powerful weapons. He began to expect some blind bastard to come up and die.
After several days of traveling, the city of Afendor was gradually in sight, and there were more and more caravans and pedestrians on the road. However, on this afternoon, at a crossroads fifty miles away from Afendor, Zhang Yang's team was stopped.
"What? Protection money? Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Yang looked at those guys who were obviously thugs in surprise. How could you have the qualifications to say such things?
"There are 17 of you in total, two carts, and twelve horses, so I'll charge you 200 silver dinars. If you pay, I guarantee you'll be safe and happy." A very funny fat ruffian said with a grin.
"It seems that the caravan ahead didn't pay?" Zhang Yang asked curiously. He witnessed it with his own eyes. The gang didn't even try to intercept them, so he was really curious. Could it be that they looked easy to bully? "No, their caravan was flying the flag of Baron Kedren, so they didn't have to pay. But you guys are different. Believe me, my friend, it's worth it to risk your life for a little money."
The fat man persuaded patiently.
Zhang Yang also laughed, "Thank you for your kindness, but I trust my knife more."
If he had not yet refined the Spear of Confinement, he might have had to pay money to buy safety, but now, just let more of these bastards come!
