Chapter 40: Hantan
"From today onwards, our First Army of Barren Ridge has really been established. Discipline and teamwork begin with training, which is still the responsibility of the dragon mastiff. Alright, let's go. How many cannibals have you contacted so far?"
After Wei Jinyun finished arranging, he looked at the soil when everyone was lining up for training. Although the number of powerful skeleton berserker warriors has increased by five, the most basic thing to do is people. Even if you are a cannibal, you can still train and become a master of killing enemies in seconds.
"I've already contacted two cannibal tribes, but there are others that are still searching, and it's estimated that they will all be contacted in about three months. ”
Tu bowed his head and said, "Not every cannibal tribe is willing to join us. They still have a lot of negative emotions towards immortal cultivators. But don't worry, hosts, I'll think of a way to get them all out of this difficult life......"
"Hmm!"
Wei Jinyun nodded, walked back to the cave, and began the planning of great significance. Forging weapons is a necessary and inevitable priority of every dynasty. In all battles, many of the decisive factors are because of weapons. Sharp weapons can dominate the battlefield, even if there are not enough people, they can still turn the tide. However, backward weapons can bring fatal flaws to one's own side.
Knowing the importance of weapons, Wei Jinyun has dabbled in many books in the twenty years he has been a glass doll. Until the collection of books at home, they were all Wei Yan. Except for some medical books, the rest are weapons. And Wei Jinyun himself has a strong interest in forging weapons. He once thought that if he had a divine weapon, even a glass doll would still be able to defeat a powerful immortal cultivator.
It's a pity that this wish, torn to pieces by the ruthless reality, has not had the opportunity to explore it until now. Although I have seen and understood some basic methods, it takes more time and different attempts to really forge a good weapon. From the beginning of the forging, until the first weapon came out, Wei Jinyun took nearly a month. These include the construction of simple stoves, and the exploration of some refining methods.
However, the first weapon was not satisfactory and even extremely fragile. It was a sword, three feet long and three inches wide, and it looked to be well-made. However, it was easily broken by Wei Jinyun himself. The material is too fragile to withstand chopping and collisions. So he rearranged Zhao Wuming and recast the sword. The huge simple stove worked for another three days and three nights, and when the casting was completed again, Wei Jinyun fell into deep thought.
"Master!"
Zhao Wuming said: "These are all according to your methods, but this weapon cannot be used at all." It will break off at the slightest touch, and you can even see the red ore residue on the fractured level. ”
"I know!"
Wei Jinyun nodded: "The material is not pure enough, sword." The third casting was more detailed, and the beating action was more intensive, but the result was still unsatisfactory.
The three of them worked non-stop all day long, and looking at the sword that was broken for the third time, everyone fell into a deep helplessness. At this time, it happened to be the evening of the next day, and Tu brought food to the three of them with a stone plate. When he saw the broken sword surface, an unintentional sentence gave Wei Jinyun a huge surprise.
"Master, it's not a matter of strength, it's not a matter of temperature. ”
Tu placed the plate on the stone table, picked up the broken sword, and then butted it together.
"The method of cooling is even more important, without the right cooling water, you can't make the material last longer. ”
"Cooling water?"
Wei Jinyun was stunned for a moment, looking at the stream that was specially drawn from a distance. Clear streams trickle through special whirlpool ditches to form a unique convergence point. The whirlpool of the stream is constantly moving at all times, ensuring that every condensation is fresh stream. But after being reminded by the soil, Wei Jinyun understood that the temperature of the cooling water should be the most critical part.
"Dirt!"
Wei Jinyun nodded and said, "You are like this, I found that your cannibal spear is rough but hard. Is there any suitable cooling water, or where can I find it?"
"We don't know what is suitable or not, but we all use firewood to burn the ore, then make it into blanks, and finally put it in cold pool ice water to cool ......"
"Where can I find it?"
Wei Jinyun's spirit was shocked, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. But looking at Tu's expression, he had some bad premonitions.
"Master, there are fierce beasts guarding the land of Hantan, and we must lure it away every time we go, otherwise we won't be able to use the water of Hantan. And it's a long way off, and we have to save up enough weapons to steal some. ”
Tu pondered for a moment, as if remembering the beast's strength. However, Wei Jinyun didn't care, because now that he had a powerful pink skeleton, if he couldn't even get a little water, he was afraid that it wouldn't be of much use to them. So he immediately inquired about the location of the cold pool, and found out everything about the fierce beast.
Early the next morning, Wei Jinyun took the skeleton corps and set out on the road to find cooling water. Four pink skeletons and dragon mastiffs were left behind, as well as some skeleton warriors and monks to protect Su Ruo, while the others followed Tu to a strange place. After coming to this barren mountain for so long, Wei Jinyun went to this place for the first time. In a place that I don't even dare to think about, there is actually Hantan Ice Water, which is the rarest weapon for forging weapons.
Along the way, the people cut through thorns and thorns, and led by the earth through several streams and a desolate mound. After a half-day trek, we finally approached our destination. At this time, everyone has a special area, which is close to the center of the barren mountains, and the place that should be green makes people feel the scorching sun.
Skeleton warriors and monks are not afraid of the sun, and this is the benefit of the Divine Bone World. But Tu and a few cannibals walked on the hot sand with palm fronds on their heads. They have not yet learned to put on shoes, and although Wei Jinyun has taught them twice, they are still not accepted. Except for a few cannibal women, the others are used to going barefoot. They feel that in this way, they are closer to nature and more favored by the gods.
After walking slowly for an hour, a cold wind suddenly blew, and Wei Jinyun shivered. But Tu's eyes lit up, he stopped, and the spear in his hand was raised.
"Master, you go to the back and I'll lead the way, the pile of stone forests in front is where Hantan is located......"
