Chapter 541: Guillotine Valley
Ge Wei has been wandering around this gray area for two days.
I don't know when it began, but the fog gradually began to rise around it, a kind of gray dead fog. Originally, the illumination of the Land of the Dead was very low, shrouded in gray fog, and even Ge Wei could only see a few dozen meters around him. You can only release your mental power to investigate.
Ge Wei came here alone this time. After arriving, I walked around the area for another two days, and finally decided that this was the goal.
"That's it. ”
In front of him, there was an unusually dark area, and through the thick dead fog, it was impossible to see what was inside. But Ge Wei knew that it was a building, a building complex.
The building as a whole is not very large, and it is already very small compared to the lair of the Black Knight Lord.
"On the ground, it should be just a part. There is also the underground palace below. ”
Ge Wei didn't plan to cast the Mage's Eye to go in and find out. He didn't want to startle the snake. This time, I came to touch the whistle alone, just to know in my heart and prepare for the next attack.
From the inside of the lich, Ge Wei learned that this place has a name, the Valley of the Guillotine.
This is a valley, and inside the valley is the lair of the dark Black Knight Lord. From here, the dark shadow looks like a beast lurking inside. The valley is surrounded by a thick fog, which has been covering a long distance.
Ge Wei observed that there were very few undead creatures roaming outside the valley. Most of them are gathered in the valley. He sensed that in the valley, there were several very powerful auras.
As for why this place is called Guillotine Valley, it was called like this a long, long time ago, and the reason is no longer known.
"Anyway. This battle must be fought. My recent development has reached a bottleneck that must be broken with a war. ”
Make a note of the coordinate point. Ge Wei returned to his territory.
Compared to a few days ago, his territory has largely remained unchanged. When it comes to change, the only change is that all skeleton soldiers and skeleton laborers are gone.
Wandering in Ge Wei's territory were groups of elite skeletons. Skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, skeleton shield soldiers, and even a small number of skeleton mages.
These mutant elite skeletons are all advanced from skeleton soldiers.
This is naturally thanks to the black powder.
"Can the ingredients of chicken feed be applied to undead creatures?" A few days ago, Ge Wei was still worried about this problem, and now the problem has been solved.
Ge Wei's answer is: Yes.
Not only can it be applied, but the effect is very good.
The black powder fuses into the bones. It will cause skeleton soldiers to have bone mutations, and the bones will grow wildly, and then there will be mutations in several different directions.
Some skeleton soldiers' bones grow wildly inward, resulting in a large increase in bone density and increased strength, comparable to skeleton warriors.
Some skeleton soldiers will have an increase in their bones, giving birth to bone spurs. There are also a small percentage of people who will directly spawn bone bows and become skeleton archers.
The most unique of all is a skeleton soldier with the fastest skeletal growth. These skeletons. Eventually, it evolved into a breed that Ge Wei had never seen before, the Shield Skeleton.
Most of the skeleton of the shield skeleton grows onto a bony lump. These bones come together to form an irregularly shaped shield. Some of the shields also have bone spurs, which look hideous and terrifying.
And finally, a very small part. Progressed to become a Skeleton Mage. Has the ability to use the simplest necromancy.
Ge Wei came to the conclusion that bone cells are also cells. The main ingredient in chicken feed, the black powder, can promote cell mutation. Bone cells come into contact with the black powder. As a result, there were also skeletal mutations.
Under the special conditions of the Land of the Dead, the skeleton soldiers with mutated bones have advanced into mutated skeletons against the norm. These mutant skeletons do not possess the soul fire of a true second-order skeleton form. However, it has all the abilities of the second-order form.
In order to build this army of mutant skeletons, Ge Wei really put a lot of effort into it.
After preliminarily solving the two problems of black powder and powder can be applied to skeletons. The biggest problem was how to get all the skeletons exposed to powder in batches.
Throwing from high altitudes will definitely not work. Not only will it cause a lot of waste of black powder, but the effect is not ideal.
The skeleton's skeleton can only be fully mutated if it comes into deep contact with the black powder.
The best way to do this is to soak it.
Soak the skeleton in a black powder solution to allow the skeleton's bones to fully contact and absorb the powder components.
Another problem arises, there is no water in the Land of the Dead.
It won't rain here for tens of thousands of years.
Ge Wei thought about it, so he had to buy water from the plane market.
You can buy anything on the plane market, and water is no exception. In fact, water is a commodity that trades with each other on many sides.
Absolutely pure water, 500 tons for 1 energy coin.
Level 2 mildly polluted water, 350 tons of 1 energy coin.
Level 5 highly heavily polluted water, 80 tons of 1 energy coin, containing 115 kinds of radioactive elements such as plutonium, radium, and technetium. is the most expensive.
Pure water is not the most expensive, and Ge Wei is difficult to understand at first. Later, I slowly understood that this is also called a strange commodity to live in.
Purity is all too common, but it is a level 5 highly polluted water, and the quantity is scarce. Sometimes it sells even higher.
It's like it's not difficult to find a beautiful woman, but you have to find a balance between Han Hong's figure, Sister Feng's appearance, and Brother Chun's gender, so "distinctive", it's really a rare commodity. It's going to be more expensive......
"Level 5 highly heavily polluted water, it is estimated that only the Zerg need it. In the end, Ge Wei bought a very ordinary grade 2 purity H20, which was one level lower than the water raw material he used to synthesize black powder.
1 Energy Coin bought 1,000 tons of Level 2 pure water, which is enough to squander at will.
Next, Ge Wei began to bathe the skeleton soldiers in the territory. Using a certain ratio of blended black powder diluent as the base, I ordered a car wash for 900 energy coins. Send the skeleton soldiers to the tracks, transport them in and brush them one by one with a brush.
Like the car wash, the skeleton soldier was brushed from the inside out, with the sprinkler spraying liquid on the top and the roller car wash brush on the side. Stains the skeleton's bones with black powder.
That's it. Ge Wei has obtained an army of mutant skeletons!
and mastered the method of creating an infinite army of mutant skeletons. The strength of the increase is incalculable.
But Ge Wei did not give up his pursuit.
So far, he has only achieved the "raising" of breeding. In order to truly breed undead creatures, there is still one need to reproduce.
Undead creatures are dead themselves. Talking about reproduction, it seems a little ridiculous.
But Ge Wei has found a way forward.
The effect of chicken feed ingredients on skeletons is to cause bone cell proliferation, which is a fundamental level of change. Ge Wei had already discovered this potential from the Skeleton Shield Soldiers, the Skeleton Archers.
The next step is to cultivate a king of bone cells.
Skeleton archers can proliferate bone arrows from their own bodies, and Ge Wei wants to use the same method to cultivate a super cell that can "grow" bones without limit.
After all. The only restriction on the unlimited creation of an army of mutant skeletons is skeletons. Without bones, don't talk about anything.
And with super cells that can grow bones, bone raw materials are easily solved.
At that time, the infinite manufacturing army is truly infinite.
Ge Wei knew that if he wanted to cultivate this kind of anti-heaven cell, it would not be achieved overnight. It takes constant experimentation and repeated failures. It takes time to build.
For the time being, he only has directions, and he doesn't have a clue yet.
For now, the only way to do this is to fight a war first and see the effect of the army of mutant skeletons. The rest will be said slowly.
Mutated second-order skeletons appear in large numbers. Let him also be in a development bottleneck. Either there is a breakthrough in the super bone cells, or it is plundering and growing on the battlefield.
Skeletons require weapons.
The skeleton army of the other undead lords wanted weapons or not, Ge Wei didn't know. But Ge Wei planned to equip his army of skeletons with weapons.
This is his advantage, even if the undead creatures hold the passage to the human world. They seldom actively communicate with the living. He's different. Proactively reach out to the outside world and use all available resources. It is Ge Wei's creed.
Gowey called Frandi.
"Your Majesty, the Great Lich King, these thousand corpses are my honor to you, and I hope you enjoy them. Recently, the Three Kingdoms have been at war frequently, and there will be many corpses every day. Our business is thriving. ”
"I didn't call you here to talk about this. Frandi, I need you to prepare a batch of weapons for me. Gowey said to Frandi.
"How much do you need, Your Majesty the Great Lich King. Frandi bowed his head humbly.
"First 500,000, weapons and armor. "The figure of 500,000 was calculated by Ge Wei with reference to the number of his existing army of mutant skeletons. He's going to arm all the skeletons.
No matter how hard the bones are, they can't be as hard as iron. Unless it reaches the level of a golden skull, the bone becomes almost metallic. Otherwise, it's better to put on armor.
The weight of the skeleton is very good. One set of armor is not enough to affect the skeleton's movements. On the contrary, a sharp iron sword is enough to make a skeleton warrior's combat strength skyrocket.
But he didn't think that Landi was startled by the number casually reported by Ge Wei, and replied with a crying face: "Wei...... Your Majesty, Great Lich King, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's ...... It's okay to say a few hundred weapons, 500,000 sets of weapons and armor, which some big countries can't get ......."
Ge Wei also knew that it was difficult for him to be a strong man. Frandi was just an idle idler, not an arms dealer. Let him get 500,000 sets of weapons and armor, it really killed him.
"Forget it. You continue to get the corpses. Weapons and armor are left alone. Ge Wei said.
"Thank you for your forgiveness......" Frandi quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
I had no choice but to do it myself.
Ge Wei thought about it and decided to use the old method and buy it on the plane market.
Since you want to buy, buy a large amount. 500,000 sets of armor and weapons, which can only be used to equip the existing army of mutant skeletons. Expanding in the future will require more armor and weapons.
Ge Wei ordered the skeletons to build two armories outside. Then search for cold weapons from the plane market, limited to large trades.
There are really not many cold weapons sold in the plane market. For the majority of plane merchants, swords, guns, swords, and halberds are really not as good as a loaded gun. There are very few buyers of cold weapons, and most of them are collectibles. Collections are also not possible to acquire in large quantities. Ge Wei had to contact one by one.
Those who can treat cold weapons as commodities and sell them are basically junior merchants. Some are still rookies who have just entered the plane market.
These merchants don't have good goods to sell. No one is willing to take out precious energy coins for the ordinary goods that are taken out. These merchants will always be the lowest and poorest class of merchants.
Ge Wei provided them with the opportunity to make money.
"Ah, esteemed level 3 merchant, Your Excellency King Meow, I am flattered by your initiative to contact. Do you really need a big arms trade? I've got a sharp sword and a tough spear here. Each and every one of them was forged by the finest blacksmiths under my command. If you are purchasing, I am willing to give you a 20% discount. ”
"Hello, Honorable Tier 1 Merchant, Wallace VI. Yes, I need to buy a batch of cold weapons, mainly knives and swords, the sharper the better. And a small portion of bows and arrows. In addition, I need a large batch of armor, the quality does not need to be too good, I want the quantity, but also the speed of delivery. Now is it. ”
Ge Wei's status as a Level 3 merchant is already a top existence in the First-Order Market. This plane merchant named Wallace VI was a mere level 1 businessman, and he rarely got to deal with a big man like Gowey. A Level 3 merchant is indeed a big shot for a Level 1 merchant. Like Wallace VI, many will not be able to rise to the next level in their lifetime. They don't have enough goods to sell at a profit.
On the other hand, Ge Wei can always find a selling point with amazing profits. I guess this is the talent of the plane merchant.
"Excuse me, how much do you need?" said Wallace VI with a respectful attitude.
"If you want to cooperate for a long time, I will first ask for 500,000 sets of swords and armor. I still need at least 10 million or more in the later stage. Ge Wei replied.
Wallace VI was stunned for a moment, and was pleasantly surprised when he reacted! Oh my God, such a huge number! This, this ...... This is really a great man, his army has more than 10 million? Really...... It's horrible.
Wallace VI was more reserved: "Quantitatively, there is no problem. My kingdom is the best at casting iron, and I will command my blacksmith battalion to work overtime to build it. My armory can now mobilize 500,000 sets of fine equipment, may I ask you, dear Excellency, do you want it now?"
"Now, you can make an offer. ”
Wallace VI pondered for a while, and said tentatively: "500,000 sets of swords and armor, a total of 500 energy coins, you see...... Okay?"
There was discussion and pleading in his tone. As soon as the adult was slightly displeased, he immediately changed his words and lowered it by two percent.
Ge Wei waved his hand very dryly: "Deal." ”
500 energy coins, he didn't even pay attention to it.
"Great, your generosity, can shine on the sun and the moon. I'll ship it for you. Wallace VI was overjoyed, and sent the goods and manifests with quick hands and feet.
Ge Wei signed the bill of goods, and with a flash of white light, the equipment piled up like a mountain filled the armory. Cold weapons are indeed cheap enough, and even so, sellers are happy.
"The rest of the weapons and armor will be made quickly, and I will come back to you in a few days. Ge Wei left a sentence.
"It's a pleasure to serve you. Dear Lords. Wallace VI respectfully took off his hat and took off the crown from his head.
Ge Wei asked all the mutated skeletons to receive weapons. Each skeleton is donned with a suit of armor and takes on its own weapon. The Skeleton Warrior is armed with an iron sword and a scimitar, and the Skeleton Archer discards the bone bow and arrows and takes the horned bow and iron cluster arrows. The skeleton shield soldiers also put on their armor and took on their heavy tower shields.
The entire skeleton army was transformed, looking like a real army, and there was also an aura of slaughter in the sword mountain and gun forest. And under the armor, there are white bones, and it is even more terrifying.
The whole army was ready to go, Ge Wei waved his hand, and the words of spirit rippled: "Go! Target, Guillotine Valley." (To be continued......)
