Chapter 533: Golden Scale Saw Snake

A valley.

"All soldiers, listen up! Form an iron barrel formation!" Xu Dali stood under the general's flag and urged the soldiers to follow his tactics.

Military tactics - speed is the essence of war! With this military tactic, the speed of the barbarian demon camp increased by more than double.

However, the time to form a battle formation did not decrease much, and many people even ran in the wrong direction because they were not used to the sudden acceleration, resulting in errors in coordination between each other.

"Just as the intelligence said, the training level of the Barbarian Demon Camp is the worst. Hahahaha!"

"Brothers, hit them hard for me."

"If we don't eliminate these isolated troops today, they will reunite and we will become the butcher's chopping block in the future."

The cultivators, mainly barbarian cultivators and supplemented by demon cultivators, frequently appeared in the mountains and forests, casting various spells and focusing their fire on the barbarian and demon camps.

Boulders as big as wheel wheels came crashing down the mountain, smashing the soldiers of the Barbarian Demon Camp and leaving them with bloody heads.

The poisonous needles were as thin as cow hairs and difficult to guard against. Soldiers from the Barbarian Demon Camp would fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing and dying from time to time.

Vines suddenly sprouted out from the ground and strangled the soldiers who were caught off guard on the spot.

The Barbarian Demon Camp paid the price of hundreds of lives before they formed the iron bucket formation.

The moment the battle formation was successful, the entire army's defense was greatly enhanced and the situation turned from danger to safety.

A carriage disappeared in the sky, speeding through the sky.

The driver saw the battle between the Barbarian Demon Camp and the indigenous monks of Qianfeng Forest below, and immediately sent a message to the people in the car: "Sir, our army is at a disadvantage below, should we help?"

According to the strength of several monks on the vehicle, once they take action, they will definitely overturn the entire battle situation.

But Zhao Xi, the backbone of the team, snorted coldly: "Xu Dali is a waste. It's OK that the Barbarian Demon Camp is under-trained. The key is that he actually directly formed an iron bucket formation and became a meat target."

“It’s ridiculous!”

"If he forms an offensive battle formation, and the other side is just a bunch of scattered soldiers, with no army at all, how can he resist?"

"Xu Dali has put himself in such a situation. Why should we save him?"

"The most important thing right now is for me to rush to the front camp and take charge of the situation."

"General Du is seriously injured and in seclusion. As the military supervisor appointed by the monarch himself, I must go there as soon as possible to take charge of the situation."

"There's a reason these troops were eliminated."

"When I get to the main camp, I can naturally let the main force pay attention and send troops to support us. This is the decision that a general should make. Let's go!"

The driver was disdainful in his heart, but his face was respectful: "Yes, sir!"

The front-line camps of the two countries.

Ning Zhuo returned to his residence, entered the mechanical dragon, and fiddled with various materials around the three mechanical pedestals.

On the Xuanyuan Nine Workbench, pieces of blue electric silver were quickly processed and turned into flexible metal silver wires. Each silver wire was occasionally surrounded by electric light.

Ning Zhuo put away the electric silver thread and took out the dragon scale gold.

His palm was pressed against the Xuanyuan Jiugong Platform, which was constantly operating. Each piece of dragon scale gold was cut into extremely sharp hooks, and with each cut, the curvature and sharpness of the hooks had to be just right.

After making hundreds of pieces, Ning Zhuo nodded while checking them, feeling very satisfied: "If I were to process them one by one, it would take at least three days and three nights, and the finished products would mostly be defective. How could they be as perfect as these?"

Ning Zhuo then took out a large pile of half-dead and half-alive beads.

“Chen Cha…”

Ning Zhuo's eyes were slightly dazed and he remembered the good guy in his impression.

The half-dead, half-alive bead was Chen Cha's original creation. He designed this kind of mechanical accessory based on the array set of Bai Lin Jushi, combined with his own experience and a flash of inspiration.

Mainly used in joints.

Each bead has two sides, one is black and the other is white. There is a word "death" on the black side and a word "live" on the white side.

When the ball is turned to the white live side, the joint will move freely. When the ball is turned to the black dead side, the joint will be locked accordingly.

There are also secret connections between the beads. If a cultivator carves array patterns on the main part of the mechanism, one or more active arrays can be formed.

Back in Huoshi Xiancheng, the wooden beads that Chen Cha provided to Ning Zhuo were too low quality. The round beads Ning Zhuo was using now were specially made by him and were of the highest quality of Jindan.

Ning Zhuo worked hard, using these half-dead, half-alive beads as a basis, winding and pulling them with electric silver wires to build a snake body made of a metal network. Afterwards, he used scales made of dragon scale gold to cover the metal grid.

In this way, the prototype of a mechanical device was created.

Next, Ning Zhuo used his spiritual consciousness, magic power, and mechanical tools to further process it, such as adding talismans, building formations, and so on.

More than an hour later, a golden snake-like mechanical creation lay quietly on the table of the mechanical pedestal.

Mechanical beast——Golden scale saw snake!

This mechanical snake is glittering with gold and is very exquisite. Its body is covered with sharp serrated scales. When the snake opens its mouth, a pair of hooked sharp teeth can be extended.

Ning Zhuo tried to activate it, and saw the golden-scaled saw snake winding and swimming on the surface of the mechanism. Its movements were flexible, smooth and quite natural.

Ning Zhuo took out another iron tree stump.

The golden-scaled saw snake leaped up suddenly, so fast that it left a golden shadow in Ning Zhu's field of vision.

It stretched out its body and wrapped itself around the iron stump.

Mechanical technology——Golden scale strangulation saw kill!

Ning Zhuo activated this self-created mechanical device, and the scales of the golden-scaled saw snake stood up and pierced into the iron tree stump.

Each scale rotates rapidly, like cutting tofu, cutting directly into the inside of the iron tree.

As the golden-scaled saw snake coiled tighter and tighter, the thick iron tree stump was easily cut into two pieces, without any resistance.

"Very good. Very good."

Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Next, it's actual combat, gaining experience from it, and making the staff head."

"Once the subsequent work on the rod head is completed, this golden-scaled saw snake will be completely finished."

Ning Zhuo did not stop.

Next, he will design two more mechanical creations.

Because the Golden Scale Saw Snake, a mechanical creation alone, is obviously no match for the Ginseng Dragon's Beard, and it is difficult to achieve results in actual combat.

Ning Zhuo worked all night, and by the next morning, there were three new mechanical creations in front of him.

In addition to the first golden-scaled saw snake, there is also a set of seven rolling electric ball cages and a ground-drilling hammer.

When Liu Er and Guan Hong found Ning Zhuo, Ning Zhuo showed them his results and gave them a brief introduction.

Guan Hong didn't know much about mechanical engineering, but he knew very well that Ning Zhuo was not a simple person, so he immediately expressed his expectations.

Liu Er sincerely praised: "Before I met the military advisor, I really couldn't imagine that there would be such a talented young man in the world."

"Military Advisor, your major is actually the art of mechanical engineering, and those five elements magic are just secondary studies."

"Alas, if this secret is revealed, countless people will be amazed."

Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo solemnly: "Military Advisor, your future is truly limitless. Given time, you may very well be on the Young Masters' List!"

Ning Zhuo immediately waved his hands and modestly said that Liu Er was praising him: "The Young Masters' List covers the entire cultivation world. What virtue and ability do I have to be selected into it?"

Guan Hong said: "Based on what I have seen in my life, you, Military Advisor, have the greatest hope of being on the Young Masters' List."

There is a Dragon King Temple deep underground.

The entrance to the temple is a stone gate, which is covered with traces of time, and looks heavy and old.

Push open the stone door and you will see the temple.

More than 20 huge pillars support the dome. The pillars are made of ancient wood, and each pillar is inlaid with golden dragon scales, with dragon heads raised and tails winding, lifelike.

The light in the temple was dim, and the surrounding stone walls emitted a faint yellow light.

The air was filled with a damp smell, mixed with water vapor and the fragrance of mysterious herbs.

In the center of the temple is the main altar, which is about three meters high. The altar is surrounded by a strong dragon aura.

A special statue of the Dragon King is enshrined on the altar.

It has no claws or scales, its dragon head is held high, and its dragon whiskers are spreading out, just like the Dragon King with the Thick Beard.

At this moment, the eyes of the statue of the Ginseng-bearded Dragon King were dim and his breath was dying, revealing that his body was in a very bad condition.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Under the altar, there was a huge incense table with three large incense sticks burning. Each stick was as thick as a wash basin and ten feet high. The smoke from the burning floated around the statue of the Dragon King and was slowly absorbed by it.

In addition to the big incense, there are also a large number of offerings.

As one of the temple priests, Lord Long is organizing sacrificial activities together with four other temple priests.

As the sacrifice progressed, the offerings were quickly consumed and transformed into streams of nutrition and strength, which were infused into the body of the dragon, which was hiding somewhere unknown.

The sacrifice was temporarily suspended, and the temple priests sat cross-legged on the floor tiles, trying every minute to recover as much as possible.

The heavy breathing gradually disappeared, and the originally pale face gradually regained a hint of color.

It is not so simple and easy to perform sacrifices.

Even Lord Long felt it was extremely difficult, and was even more exhausted than his previous fierce battle in the ambush.

At this time, a message came flying over, bringing the latest military intelligence.

The temple keeper quickly sent out their spiritual senses. After reading it, one of the old temple keeper looked at Master Long and said, "Aaron, you should go back and preside over the battle."

"If you're not here, everyone in the front-line military camp will run away."

"Just a few of us old guys here will do."

Long Ye looked embarrassed, and looked at the statue of the Dragon King, saying with great concern: "It is not a pity for those outsiders to die, my heart is only for the gods."

The old temple keeper immediately continued, "Because of this, you should go back and take charge of the overall situation. You need to lead the coalition forces to block and encircle and kill the armies of the two countries. The more you kill, the better!"

"This way, we can buy more time for our Lord to recuperate and recover!"

Long Ye gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "I understand, I will go back to take charge of the situation."

He knelt down and kowtowed, looking back every three steps, and left the Dragon King Temple reluctantly.

After burrowing out of the ground, his speed became much faster.

"Lu Hongtu is a very cunning guy. He has been trying to win people's hearts and minds, and he did not stop people from going out at all. As a result, many of our high-ranking cultivators were killed by weapons while picking up the spoils."

"The two ghosts of heaven and earth also have bad intentions. They instigated our high-ranking cultivators to test the enemy's firepower for them."

"The most important thing is the old monster in the stone!"

"Until now, he hasn't appeared yet. How patient..."

Like Lu Hongtu, Long Ye also knew that the old monster in the stone was the most crucial point. If he never showed up, the Dragon King and Du Tiechuan would never risk everything to fight.

Lord Long secretly returned to the military camp, but he did not show up in the meeting tent first. Instead, he found Master Shengxu.

"We accept your previous offer." Mr. Long said with a serious expression.

But Master Shengxu shook his head: "It's a different time now, Master Long."

"Now, I'm going to double my offer."

"Huh?!" Long Ye glared, anger rising in his heart, "You are taking advantage of the situation."

Young Master Shengxu smiled slightly: "I am on the Young Masters' List, and now you and the two Zhu countries' Divine Transformation cultivators are all seriously injured. My move this time may very likely change the final outcome of this war. Therefore, I am totally worth this price!"

Long Ye shook his head. "That makes sense. But even if I wanted to pay, I don't have the ability. You have to know that you need cash. The Qianfenglin Alliance is an alliance after all. As for my Dragon King Temple, even if I empty my family's coffers, I still can't pay you. After all, there are too many places that need money."

Master Shengxu knew this result long ago: "Don't worry, ahem, I'll accept the treasure discount."

A gleam of light flashed in Long Ye's eyes: "What do you want?"

Master Shengxu straightened his back slightly and slowly uttered four words: "Shenghai Longquan."

Long Ye was so angry that he almost wanted to fight. He rejected it flatly: "That's impossible!"

The front-line camps of the two countries.

A carriage dropped from the sky, landed quietly on the ground, then the spell was revoked and it gradually appeared.

The generals had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the military supervisor Zhao Xi get off the carriage, they all saluted.

Zhao Xi held the scepter that represented his status, held his head high and chest puffed out, looked around, and nodded slightly, with a very high attitude.

"I have already reported the previous battle. The king is very concerned. How is General Du now?"

Immediately, a general reported that Du Tiechuan had gone into deep seclusion and that specific military affairs were left to other people to handle.

Zhao Xi was delighted: "Well, working hard for the country is the way of a minister, so I will take on this important task."

The generals looked at each other, but due to their status, they had to obey.

Zhao Xi immediately rushed to the commander-in-chief's residence and asked about the situation in the camp along the way.

The generals reported: almost all the soldiers in the army had removed their iron armor and were currently actively resting and recovering rapidly. In another three or four days, the troops would be able to be mobilized and go out.

During this period of time, it was mainly the Jindan-level and Yuanying-level generals who roamed around the battlefield and did the cleaning work.

Another report: There were many scoundrels in Qianfenglin who also wanted to pick up the spoils. They were beaten by the heavy weapons of the army, and some were killed or injured. A lot of results were achieved.

Zhao Xi's heart was moved when he heard this, and he immediately asked about the spoils of war.

Someone took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhao Xi: "Sir, this is a complete record of the spoils of war seized so far."

Zhao Xi scanned with his spiritual sense and found that there was also a battle merit ranking list.

The person at the top of the list was Liu Er.

He was not pleased: "How can a mere half-blood take the top spot? What's wrong with the others?"

A general explained, "Sir, the military supervisor, Liu Er just made it to the top last night. He might fall down when the list is re-arranged at noon today."

Other generals echoed this and said it was a surprise, as Liu Er had previously been ranked outside the fifth place.

Zhao Xi nodded slowly, but he became anxious in his heart: "This Liu Er is an outsider, powerless, but he can actually occupy the top spot. This shows that he really made a lot of money."

"These spoils are all military exploits."

"I worked so hard to come here, but I can't get any merit. How can I justify my adventure?"
