Chapter 309: Our Predicament

"Huang Ying, you're not joking with me, are you?" I stared at Huang Ying with wide eyes.

Huang Ying smiled indifferently: "What do you say?" ”

I shrunk my neck stupidly: "You're not a little black, you shouldn't have such a bad taste." ”

Huang Ying shook her head simply: "What do you think, then the truth is what it is." Anyway, she won't continue to pester you now, and if you don't admit that you're a scumbag, you should be happy now. ”

This remark left me speechless, of course I don't want to admit that I'm a scumbag, ahhhhh

But I don't want to be so black, if it gets out, what will I do in the future? It is estimated that between me and Cuicui, even ordinary friends have to be friends.

"Don't think about it so much, there is such a thing as a child's affection, we must be able to survive. If we're all here this time, what qualifications do we have to talk about feelings? Huang Ying smiled.

Huang Ying's words were like a slap in the face to me, which made me sober up suddenly.

Although her words were cruel, they did make sense when you think about it. We are still in danger, we may face a life-and-death crisis at any time, what feelings do we talk about?

Now is not the time to worry about those details, and if you have that spare time, you might as well quickly get yourself back to state and continue to make puppets.

After figuring it out, I let out a long breath: "Huang Ying, no matter what you said to Cuicui, I have to thank you." I'm really not suitable for Cuicui, and I don't want to ruin her life. ”

Huang Ying smiled and nodded: "You can figure this out, and it won't be in vain for my hard work." Find a place to rest first, and leave the rest to me and Hei for the time being. ”

In the past two days, while we have been working hard to refine the puppet, in fact, Xiao Hei and Huang Ying have not had an easy time. The two of them took on the security of the village, patrolling in shifts.

I don't have any more hypocrisy with Huang Ying, and now I can't return to Cuicui's bamboo building, which is a good thing for me. I can find a relatively quiet place where I can meditate and practice without distractions.

After thinking about it seriously, I went to the bamboo building of the blood mother-in-law again. This is the largest bamboo building in the whole village, and at the same time the quietest place in the whole village.

Granny Blood was still busy smearing the toxin on the puppet, and after saying hello to Granny Blood, I found a room, sat down cross-legged and silently recited the mantra of purifying my heart, and soon entered a state of concentration.

Around four o'clock in the morning, I woke up from my composure. After a short period of cultivation, I have basically returned to my peak state.

The village was still stable, and Xiao Hei walked around from time to time, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

After adjusting my state, I continued to refine the puppet. The others shouldn't have woken up yet, and I guess by dawn I should be able to successfully refine two puppets.

The time for serious efforts always passed so quickly, and after dawn, several other people finally rushed over. After a brief greeting, they also joined the team of refining puppets.

Later, I also met Cuicui, and now the kraft paper is enough to make. Cuicui led the women of the village to prepare food and water for us.

I have to say that Huang Ying's trick is indeed useful. Cuicui treats me now, like everyone else, and doesn't even look at me more.

At the end of this day, we have successfully refined more than eighty puppets, and the number is relatively objective, even if it is used to deal with the zombie army, it has the power to fight.

The neighborhood of the village was still unusually quiet, and the next morning we had finished refining all 100 golems. Under my guidance, the young and middle-aged men in the village also mastered the method of manipulating the Zimu talisman.

They also wanted to continue making puppets, but I stopped them. Making a puppet in the first place is not an easy task, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and several of them are already very tired and need to rest for a while.

Secondly, the materials in the village are not enough, and there is only a bamboo forest within the protection area of the defense array. Now that most of the bamboo used in this bamboo forest has been cut down, if you want to continue refining the puppet, you need to go outside the village to cut the bamboo, which is too dangerous.

"You first become proficient in using the Talisman to control the puppets, and in the next battle, these puppets will also exert enough power." I whispered.

There is another important issue why I do not support the continued refining of puppets. That is, we really can't stand it, not only are the number of people making puppets relatively small, but the people who can manipulate puppets are also rare.

Now I am already in the realm of refining gods, but with my divine soul power, I can manipulate more than twenty puppets at most at the same time, and I will not be able to hold on to any more.

With the addition of Xiao Hei and Huang Ying, the three of us can only control more than fifty puppets in total. The remaining forty or so puppets can only be manipulated by the young adults in the village.

After all, they are the descendants of the corpse chaser faction, and they have been corpse refiners for a while, and each of them can barely manipulate a few puppets.

If we continue to refine, there will be too many puppets to control, and the time and effort will outweigh the losses.

Fortunately, I have established a prestige in the village during this time, and they are still willing to listen to my words. At first, I promised to let them learn alchemy, but after Zhang Lin's incident, now I agree with them to manipulate the puppets at most.

Time is still passing slowly, and it will never stop. In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed, and we are all able to skillfully manipulate the puppet.

Everyone gradually relaxed, always felt that what they were doing now was far from enough, and strongly wanted to enhance their strength. The proposal to learn alchemy was brought up again.

"It's been so many days, and the corpse chaser must have reacted, and our village could be attacked at any time. The corpse chaser is too strong, and our strength is not enough! ”

"Even we can't be stuck here forever! We need to be strong, otherwise we will only be trampled under the feet of the corpse in the future! ”

The mood of these young adults in the village was so high that they almost wanted to force me to agree to their alchemy.

"Be quiet for a while, I'll give you an answer today!" In desperation, I can only stabilize them first, and then discuss them with Granny Blood and Xiao Hei.

A meeting attended by only a few people was hastily unfolded in the bamboo building of the blood mother-in-law. Attending this meeting were Granny Blood, Xiao Hei, Huang Ying and Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin's injury is no longer serious, but he still needs to recuperate. The main reason why he was called here was because he was also more authoritative among the young men in the village.

Wang Meng came out of the cellar yesterday and met me for the second time. The living dead were taken away, studied as guinea pigs, and wounded in battle, and are not fully regained at the moment.

After some hesitation, I rejected Wang Meng's suggestion that the living dead come out of the cellar. Anyway, for the time being, the corpse line has not yet been attacked, and it will not be too late for them to show up when the big war begins.

Of course, I was the main character of this meeting. If I don't agree with the young and middle-aged men in the village learning alchemy, the blood mother-in-law should not let go, and our main topic today is still this issue.

"What should we do next? It was completely different from what I expected! The corpse chase seemed to be completely quiet, and there was no movement at all during this time. I sighed.

According to our previous predictions, the corpse chaser should come soon. Whether it is the corpse refiner or the living dead led by Wang Meng, they are all the targets of the corpse chase.

We didn't expect that it had been delayed for so long, and there was still no movement.

This may be related to the battle between the senior who rescued us and the Divine Thoughts of the Ancestor of the Corpse Chasing Ancestor, or it may be because the Corpse Chasing Ancestor has other conspiracies.

The most embarrassing thing at the moment is that we have worked hard to make a puppet, waiting for the attack of the corpse at any time, but the other party seems to have forgotten us.

Fighting is not the most terrible thing for us, what is terrible is that we are always suffering from the depression of the eve of the storm, and our hearts are getting more and more flustered.

Except for a few of us, most of the people in the village couldn't hold it anymore. Now if there is no battle, then they can only learn alchemy, otherwise their hearts will not be at ease at all.

And I have always been opposed to the cultivation of corpse alchemy by the people in the village, their ancestors had a far-sighted plan so that they could get rid of the identity of corpse refiners and integrate into the world of normal people in the future.

I'm worried that if they learn the art of alchemy, they will inevitably deal with corpses a lot. Once their consciousness is eroded by the yin qi, I am afraid that in the end, they will only be in the same vein as the corpse.

"In the past few days, Xiao Zhenzi's mood has been getting higher and higher, and I think there must be some big conspiracy in the vein of chasing corpses. It's a pity that Xiao Zhenzi is very cautious now, and it is difficult to lie to him again, and he can't get any useful information from him at all. Xiao Hei sighed.

Tian Xin frowned slightly and said, "Based on Gao Shan's performance, it seems that it can be concluded that there will be a big move in the corpse chase soon. But it's impossible for us to know in advance the plan to drive out the corpses, and now we are really passive. ”

I sighed, "We've discussed these issues many times, can you say something more meaningful?" I just want to know, what should we do now? To be honest, not just other people, even I was in a hurry. ”

Zhang Lin slowly spoke: "Do you want us to try to learn alchemy?" Maybe the situation is not as serious as you imagined, I can give it a try first, and then let others cultivate when it's okay. ”

I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "Zhang Lin, you think the problem is still too simple!" Once you have a problem, it's too late to turn back! Before...... Forget it, you can understand it even if I don't say it. ”

Zhang Lin lowered his head a little ashamedly, sighed deeply, and didn't say anything more.

I can understand Zhang Lin's thoughts, after the last incident, he also blamed himself, and now he has become much more cautious. He also wanted to contribute to his part, so he said he wanted to try it himself.

But he can put his life and death on the line, but I can't watch him take risks, and if something happens again, I really don't have the confidence that I can save him again.
