Chapter 91: The Qin Family's Strange Tree
After the two of them chosen, there was a prompt immediately: "The player has chosen the Wu Song camp, please follow the system guidance to complete the following tasks......"
Main Quest: Assist Wu Song to convince the other two mission targets to take refuge, or assist Wu Song to destroy the other two mission objectives.
Side quest 1: Improve Wu Song's strength and assist Wu Jiazhuang to increase his strength.
Side quest 2: Assist Wujiazhuang in taking control of Qinghe County.
Side quest 3: Assist Wu Song in cleaning up monsters in Qinghe County.
Hidden Side Quest (Activated): Help Wu Song obtain the "Plum in the Golden Vase".
Just saw the task list, and the prompt reappeared.
"Ding-dong...... It was detected that with the help of the player, Wu Song had persuaded Bai Jie and made him take refuge, and the progress of the main quest was increased by 50%!"
Convincing? I'm afraid it's not pajamas! Su Lei secretly vomited with black lines on his face.
It's just that I didn't expect that the plum of the golden bottle was actually defaulted to Wu Song's by the system. However, this is nothing, quest items are originally used to complete quests, and are not of much use to the player. Players' gains in the dungeon are mainly from the rewards of the quest itself and the loot of the dungeon.
However, this is just a novice task, and there are basically nothing good about the dungeon harvest, and the task rewards are probably not much better. But whatever, you can't count on the equipment, and it's good to have something else. No matter how bad it is, you can find some materials and sell them for money.
Chen Shiyi's eyes lit up when he saw the task list, and he said: "Brother Liang, judging from this hidden task, this golden bottle plum may really be in Qinjiazhuang,......"
"Indeed, judging from the existing information, it is very likely! It seems that this Qinjiazhuang is presumptive!" Su Lei nodded: "Let's go, go back and see how the martial arts are prepared......"
After learning that the Qin family was related to ghouls, the martial brothers had already decided to eradicate this den, otherwise there would be this kind of man-eating monster that could turn into a human next door, and it wouldn't be like they wouldn't even be able to sleep well. What's more, defending Xiangzi is also the political correctness of a traditional scholar like Wu Dalang, not to mention Wu Erlang, who is chivalrous by nature.
So when Su Lei came to step on the point, the two brothers were not idle, they were connecting those people who had a good relationship with the righteous rivers and lakes to come to help, and at the same time, they were also integrating the force of Wujiazhuang. Prepare to make trouble together when the time comes, and give the thief's nest of Qinjiazhuang to a nest.
............
Samurai.
"Mr. Su, this is the Huarong brothers, this is the Shi Jin brothers......" Wu Song is introducing Su Lei to the heroes who have been connected in series.
"Hua Rong (Shi Jin) has seen Mr. Su......" The two who had already learned about Su Lei's identity from Wu Song hurriedly saluted.
"Two good ......" Su Lei politely returned the salute.
Su Lei looked at the two of them, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that the great grandfather had not changed too ruthlessly.
Hua Rong is a handsome guy, born with a pair of handsome eyes, white teeth and red lips, eyebrows flying into the sideburns, thin waist and arms, if you put it in modern times, it is not a problem to hype up the traffic.
Shi Jin is a strong young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is also very imposing. Tattoos were visible on his hands and neck.
Although the Water Margin characters are compared in the Golden Vase Meili, it is nothing when I think that the original works are all "Water Margin" fans.
Both of them are good, Hua Rong and Wu Song are on par, and they both have positive eight-grade cultivation. Shi Jin is slightly inferior, and he also has the strength from the eighth grade.
Wu Song introduced: "Brother Hua is a rare person in today's official army who can still maintain the spirit of a martial artist, and he brought a hundred firecrackers and a hundred spearmen this time. ”
Hua Rong shook his hand again and again: "Ashamed, ashamed, it should be the responsibility of the official army to exterminate the demons, but I didn't expect that there was a demon cave next to Hua......"
Listening to Wu Song's introduction, this Hua Rong was born as a general, and he was the hereditary commander of Dongping. The station is located in Qingfeng Village in Dongping Mansion next door.
The Hua family is not as corrupt as other officers, and they pay their subordinates empty salaries, and they have always maintained relatively formal training, and their weapons and equipment are also good, so they have considerable combat effectiveness. In particular, three hundred quite elite guards were trained, and two hundred were brought over this time.
Shi Jin is a strong man in a neighboring county, and Shijiazhuang is also a dock fort, and his strength is worse than that of Wujiazhuang, and this time he also brought seventy or eighty heavily armed Zhuang Ding.
When he heard that Hua Rong used a good firearm and could penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, Su Lei still couldn't hold back.
You "Little Li Guang" are not good at using bows and arrows, but use firearms?
He easily relieved his breath and asked, "Brother Hua, what kind of firearm are you using?"
"This is a spiral gun made by a friend of Jingshi...... Hua Rong picked up the long box beside him, took out the fire gun inside and handed it to Su Lei.
"It's ...... The rifled fire cap gun ...... "Su Lei took it over and took a closer look, and immediately understood why Hua Rong was able to "wear Yang in a hundred steps".
It's a front-loading rifled cap gun. Although extremely rudimentary, it has four rifling, and the firing mechanism is not a flintlock, but a more advanced fire cap.
"This spiral is extremely accurate, but this spiral is extremely difficult to machine, so it cannot be mass-produced...... Hua Rong said with a regretful face.
Su Lei didn't say anything, and asked Hua Rong to take out gunpowder and lead bullet to look at, and brought a soldier's firearm over.
"Are the soldiers all flintlock muskets?" said Suray, putting down the flintlock pistol. The maintenance and workmanship are passable, and it can be seen that Hua Rong is also responsible.
"Yes, the officers and soldiers of the surrounding prefectures today, that is, my Qingfeng Village, have the most flintlock pistols......" Hua Rong replied with some smugness.
Su Lei smiled: "I have a way to improve these muskets, better than any spiral gun of yours......"
Qinjiazhuang also has hundreds of strong men, as well as an unknown number of characters and ghouls. It is definitely not easy for Su Lei and the two of them to get it down, after all, there are too many people on the other side, and there are also monsters like ghouls of about nine grades.
It's not that it really can't be defeated, after all, Su Lei still has a big killer weapon of "closing the door and releasing the snow", but it is difficult to guarantee that he can catch them all. If you can't do it all at once, you will lower the task evaluation, and it will be too much of a deal.
Now that you have these helpers, of course, you have to use them as much as possible.
Now that there were early rifled cap guns in the area, Sulei could help them improve on that basis.
Suray took it upon himself to transform the flintlock into a rear-loading rifled rifle (similar to the Shasebo rifle). To say that if it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be impossible to make a breech-loading rifle in a short time under such a lack of conditions.
But Surey is a monk. It would be too easy for a modern monk to rub a mortal's early rifle, and the equipment was not enough to make up the spell. As for the materials, there is a lot of fine iron in the samurai, at least it is enough to make guns.
In a short time, two new guns were remodeled. Su Lei made another mold for a bullet. He also wrote a recipe for "high-efficiency black powder" and the process of "granulated gunpowder" for Wu Dalang to prepare.
"Ping Pong Ping Pong ......" After Hua Rong became familiar with the new gun, he skillfully fired ten shots in a row, and each shot hit the bull's-eye.
He was full of praise for the new gun: "Mr. Su, this kind of firearm is really a militaristic artifact, the firing speed is several times faster, and the accuracy has been greatly improved......"
So, for the next few days, Samurai became an arsenal.
Su Lei and Chen Shiyi took a group of blacksmiths who worked hard and rubbed more than a hundred breech-loading rifled rifles with spells. Wuda also made a large number of granular gunpowder with the best formula.
In the end, he rubbed four more 12-pounder imitation Napoleon cannons, and Su Lei stopped: "Hey, the time is too urgent, or I still want to give them a comprehensive upgrade to the level of World War I......"
With Su Lei's urine, if it weren't for the time limit of the mission, he would have really done this kind of thing. With the help of spells, simple World War II weapons such as machine guns and cannons are not a problem at all.
"Erlang, have I finished the drawings for you?" Su Lei asked casually when he saw Wu Song coming.
"Mr. Su, there are no good craftsmen in the local area, and they can't understand Mr.'s thoughts, I'm really sorry......" Wu Erlang came over with a stack of drawings, his face was red and purple, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Forget it, when Qinjiazhuang is pushed, I'll guide you personally...... It's really not good, not even a simple open-hearth. Su Lei waved his hand, he didn't have much hope for the craftsmen of this world, he just had the idea of trying it.
"Okay, you're almost ready, let's do it!"
In the past few days, everyone has not been idle. There is an endless stream of decent heroes in contact with the martial brothers, and there are at least a dozen Liangshan heroes.
Bai Jie also found a group of helpers, among which Su Lei was most surprised by the "Cloud Dragon" Gongsun Sheng.
According to Bai Jie, Gongsun Sheng is actually her uncle......
Well, Su Lei was also numb to the Great Grandfather's magic change at this time.
............
Qinjiazhuang.
In the middle of the dock fort, there is the dungeon of the Qin family.
The dungeon was filled with a large number of people.
Several ghouls are dragging a corpse out.
"Hehehe, this time the owner has gained a lot of harvest, and he has caught more than 100 livestock, it seems that this year's task can be completed ahead of schedule......"
"It's strange to say, why haven't you seen the Lian brothers in the past few days?"
"Who knows, I heard that it was in Fucheng to lose the wind and lose ......"
"Who is so bold, even our people in Qinjiazhuang dare to move?"
"The Lian brothers are not weak in kung fu, and the one who can do this nearby is Wujiazhuang. Anyway, whether they did it or not, the owner of the village has been preparing to do it in a few days, and he will serve the Wujiazhuang ......"
"Yes, the private salt income of the Wujiazhuang is excellent, and the owner of the village has not been able to put his hand in it several times. As long as Wujiazhuang is defeated, the illegal salt trade in several nearby prefectures will be all ours!"
The ghoul chatted as he dragged the corpse to an underground hall.
The hall was empty, except for a very strange tree.
The tree was not large, just over five meters tall, and it grew in a man-high golden vase, which was placed in a pit. The trunk of the tree seemed to be made of some kind of flesh and blood, with veins pulsating on it, and branches swaying slightly like tentacles. The leaves are few and covered with sharp spikes that look like an open mouth.
"It's time to eat...... "The ghoul drops the body on a platform at the edge of the pit.
The strange tree came to life in an instant, its branches sticking out like lightning, enveloping the corpse, followed by a terrible biting and chewing sound......
