Li Ding and his entourage, under the leadership of Cui Liyi, set out on the road again and went to the broken star steel vein.

On the way, Li Ding asked Zhao Ling'er: "By the way, what did you just say about our Ship Sect's Turtle Stream, Ironclad Ship or something? Judging from the aphorisms of our Ship Sect, aren't our sects all Turtle Streams? Could it be that there are other schools that can't succeed?"

Zhao Ling'er smiled strangely, and said with a strange face: "Actually, our ship sect was not originally from the turtle stream. It is said that the founding patriarch of this gate was a great man who advocated attack. Grandpa once said that the essence of a battleship is to attack, attack, and attack again. ”

Hearing her say this, Li Ding was shocked: "Wouldn't it? Since the ancestor of the mountain founder advocated attack, how could future generations dare to be so unscrupulous? Actually changed the route of the turtle stream, isn't this a deception to destroy the ancestor?"

As far as Li Ding himself is concerned, he also believes that the essence of battleships is to attack. The existence of a fleet or something, the most boring. It is a man's romance to control the ironclad giant ship, use the barrel that is so thick that it frightens people to death, show off its strength, and declare its sovereignty.

The corners of Zhao Ling'er's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, but she deliberately made a heavy and solemn expression on her pretty face, and said: "The ancestor of this sect, the ancestor of this sect, made a duel with a barbarian power 1,000 years ago, and the result was a defeat for both sides. He died not long after his return. Before his death, he left his last words, saying that his disciples must remember: going it alone is the stupidest thing to do. When encountering a strong enemy, it is better to turn into the wind than to be reckless, so as not to spoil the way of immortality.

"Since then, the disciples of this sect will no longer go head-to-head with opponents of equal strength. When encountering hard ideas, they always rush to the top. If you don't have a chance to rush up, you'd rather run away than attack recklessly. Over time, there was the consciousness of my generation of monks, why not try to escape, and the turtle stream slowly became the mainstream of our ship sect.

"As an aside, when the patriarch of this sect left his last words, the founding patriarch of the Sword Sect, as a friend of the patriarch of this sect, was also listening to ......"

Li Ding nodded solemnly: "It turns out ...... The reason why this gate turned into a turtle stream is because of the lesson of the blood of the old man of the ancestors...... Hey, listen to what you mean, it seems that in addition to the mainstream of the turtle stream, there are also non-mainstream existences in this gate?"

Zhao Ling'er nodded and said, "Of course, this sect has always been iron-blooded before the heroic sacrifice of the ancestor master. Over the past 1,800 years, although the purpose of the establishment has changed, the spirit of iron and blood still exists tenaciously. ”

"Oh?" Li Ding asked with interest, "What is the difference between the iron blood flow and the turtle flow?"

Zhao Ling'er said: "Iron and blood flow pursues the ultimate firepower and the ultimate speed. Therefore, their magic weapon is generally a lightweight wooden sailing ship, which can obtain extremely high speed while using the space and weight saved to load weapons.

"Such a battleship has very fierce firepower and extremely fast speed, but it is not well armored and has relatively weak defense. However, they believe that the best defense is to attack, and to crush the enemy before they can hit them with a furious attack. Xiao Han and his master Huang Long Zhenren are the representatives of this faction.

"Actually, people originally wanted to do iron and blood, you see that the hand cannons I use are all fierce six-barreled cannons......"

Hearing this, Li Ding nodded in agreement.

Don't look at Zhao Ling'er's delicate appearance, she likes to cry when she loses her combat effectiveness, but as long as she can still fight, she looks unexpectedly iron-blooded. I don't have to say much about the six-barreled cannon, when saving Cui Liyi, Zhao Linger was reluctant at first, but it really started, and she threw bombs more elated than Li Ding, a proper saboteur.

Zhao Ling'er said: "As for the mainstream turtle stream of this sect, it advocates defense and life-saving. Therefore, it is generally used to control bulky ironclad ships, and most of the space is mainly used to load the armor of the defensive caste. Such a battleship has a very strong defense, but because of its weight, it is much slower to drive than an iron-blooded wooden sailing ship. The firepower is also slightly inferior to Iron Bloodflow.

"The turtle stream claims to be the main guardian, to protect his own life, and to love his life. At the same time, it is also necessary to be fraternity and open-mindedness, and extend the meaning of protection to the entire human race and the entire Zhongzhou. While guarding yourself, you should also protect the Terran and Zhongzhou. Your novice coach, as well as your sister Li Yuanxiang, and your sister's master, Zilong Zhenren, are all from this faction. ”

Li Ding smiled: "I said, is it interesting to make such a distinction? The ironclad ship can also be equipped with powerful weapons! For example, I will definitely have to control the ironclad giant ship in the future, so that I will not be able to control the wooden sailing ship that has been dirty." But I'm going to take the iron-clad route, and I'm sure I'm going to have to fill the ship with powerful weapons and run over it all the way. ”

Zhao Ling'er pursed her lips and said, "You said it lightly, if the ironclad ship is so bulky and the telekinesis value is not high, how can it be fast? And if the two ships are of equal weight and have little armor, the firepower will inevitably be fiercer than that of an ironclad ship loaded with a lot of armor.

"Do you know that at the last competition meeting, Xiao Han piloted a medium-grade spiritual weapon-level wooden sailing ship, and used the turtle-level senior brother of his level as a target! That senior brother started more than fifty years earlier than Xiao Han, and he was still driving a high-grade spiritual weapon-class ironclad ship. From beginning to end, he didn't hit Xiao Han once!"

Li Ding asked, "Because Xiao Han is too fast?"

Zhao Ling'er nodded: "Yes, just because Xiao Han's speed is too fast, he can't lock it at all." ”

Li Ding asked again: "So, has that senior brother's ironclad ship been broken?"

"Not really. Zhao Ling'er shook his head: "After all, that senior brother is piloting a high-grade spirit weapon-class ironclad ship, and the defense of the ironclad ship itself is very strong, and it is impossible to be easily broken by a medium-grade spirit weapon-level wooden sailing ship." However, that senior brother was suppressed very embarrassed, after all, Xiao Han had only been on the mountain for three years, and he was only controlling a medium-grade spiritual weapon that was one level lower than him......"

"That's a bit unpleasant, but the defense is better. Li Ding nodded approvingly: "If you can combine the defense of the ironclad ship and the firepower and speed of the wooden sailing ship into one, it will be cool." ”

"How can it be so easy?" Zhao Ling'er said: "I don't know how many seniors in this sect have made such an attempt. But it's always hard to do both. There are also predecessors who want to compromise and build a warship with balanced development of defense, firepower, and speed. But after building it, it was found that such a battleship was too modest. The defense is inferior to the ironclad ship, the firepower and speed are inferior to the wooden sailing ship, and the result of balanced development is all-round mediocrity. It's better to have to tear it down and rebuild it. ”

Li Ding shook his head and said, "It must be that the materials for building the battleship are not good." It's like my wishful magic stick, transformed into a canoe, the defense is so strong, but the speed is not slow. ”

Zhao Ling'er pursed her lips and glanced at Li Ding: "Do you think that everyone is like you and can fish for an anti-heaven level material like the branch of the World Tree?"

Li Ding scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "That's right, I take it for granted." Not everyone is like me, blessed with the luck of heaven and earth......"

Zhao Ling'er was suddenly speechless by his boasting.

The vein of Shattered Star Steel is not far from the treasure land rich in pearls. Cui Liyi took Li Ding and the others for only about a day before arriving at the ore vein.

It was an underground mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles, and on both sides of the mountain range, there were bottomless ditches of the earth. In some places, boiling magma can even be seen surging at the bottom of an unknown depth. And the hugely valuable Shattered Star Steel vein is in the middle of the mountain range.

Li Ding and the others rode the double-headed Jiao and walked along the ridge to the middle of the mountain range. Although the ridge is rugged, and in some places there is even a deep valley with a drop of up to dozens of zhang, but there is a double-headed Jiao that can turn into a hundred-zhang giant beast to walk, Li Ding and others don't even need to fly with a royal weapon, and they walk very easily and comfortably.

Just as he was about to walk to the treasure mine in one go, Cui Liyi suddenly said, "The situation is not right!"

Without waiting for Li Ding and the others to ask, she pointed to a stone and said, "Look there." ”

Li Ding and the others looked at it at a glance, and saw that there were several deep claw marks on the black stone. Next to the stone, there was also a pile of black bones, which looked half-decayed.

......

[Tomorrow Sunday, there will be three watches.] The first watch will be released at 9 a.m.!
