Chapter 348: Refining Stardust
In the year 7734 of the imperial calendar, on August 2, the city of Winter Frost ran out of food, and killed horses for food.
According to Min Yulin's order, the horses of the ordinary cavalry were killed first, followed by the commander, the chief, the centurion, and the thousand-commander in turn, and at the same time, the demons used arrows to send the plague into the Winter Frost City, and this plague killed nearly 20,000 imperial soldiers and nearly 50,000 civilians.
Since then, no one has dared to look down on the wisdom of these demons, and everyone believes that those high-level demons are not stupid.
......
At night, the starlight was dim, Lin Muyu rode his horse slowly on the streets of Winter Frost City, all he could see was a corpse that had starved to death, and many houses were closed, but there was a disgusting smell inside, most of the family starved to death inside, originally Lin Muyu thought that the Yangwei Legion came to Lingdong Province to bring the recovery of the empire, but he didn't expect that it only brought death, but even if the Yangwei Army didn't come, it would be in a desperate situation here, because the demons would still come after all.
"Archdeacon, there's a corpse over there. Shen Han said.
"Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth and dig a pit and bury it on the spot. ”
"Yes..."
This is Lin Muyu's work these days, taking the temple camp to bury the corpses everywhere, and after a plague, the temple camp has also shrunk from nearly 300 people to about 150 people, and people can see people die every day, it seems that everyone is used to it, from the discomfort when they saw the corpse at the beginning to the indifference now, this is the change under the baptism of war, at this moment, they are no longer the cultivators in the temple, but just an imperial soldier.
"Is there still no news of the imperial capital?" Lin Muyu asked.
"No, I didn't. ”
Qin Yan shook his head, and said with a lonely face: "Big brother, you have also seen the winged people in the demon clan, I guess that most of the letter birds we released were intercepted and killed by these winged people in the air, otherwise how can you say that the imperial capital will also send one or two feather books to Winter Frost City." ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu thought about it carefully, Qin Yan was right, no one knew when the demons would form a siege of Winter Frost City, and their wingmen must have blocked the air a long time ago, so Winter Frost City couldn't send out the feather book at all, nor could it receive the feather book, this place was completely blocked, maybe in the eyes of the demons, this mighty army was like a rabbit in a cage, ready to be slaughtered and cooked at any time.
Qin Yan continued: "Originally, there were not many war horses left in the army, no more than 3,000, and nearly half of them were infected with the plague and could not eat, only 1,500 horses remained, which was not enough for 30,000 people to eat, and 20 people ate one horse, which was enough for a few days? I'm afraid that I will have to fast again in three days at most......
Lin Muyu was silent, and after a while, he asked, "Did the prince order the slaughter of the war horses of our temple camp?"
"Yes, the order arrived this morning, and the prince said that in addition to me and you, there are also Lord Shen Han's war horses, and the rest of the war horses will be delivered to Major General Min Zhan early tomorrow morning, and he will slaughter and distribute them uniformly. ”
Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to caress the war horse under his crotch, this horse was selected for him by Qin Yin from the stable of Zetian Palace, but in a few days, I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep this horse.
Late at night, back in the barracks, the people of the Spirit Fire Division brought the broth, which was freshly cooked horse broth.
Lin Muyu got a big bowl, and he could eat a full meal, at this time he didn't dare to wake up the Red Crystal Dragon, the little guy had a lot of food, and he could eat a horse in one meal, at this time, he couldn't afford to raise it, so let it continue to sleep in the other space.
After being hungry for so many days, he suddenly ate meat, which felt very strange, Lin Muyu chewed on horse meat, but he didn't know the taste, as if he had a feeling of drinking to quench his thirst.
After eating, he sat in the barracks and practiced the Xingchen Jue, but he was still unable to break through the third heaven of the Xingchen Jue, which made him very distressed.
In the middle of the night, suddenly there was a loud "boom" in the north...
"What's wrong?"
Lin Muyu hurriedly stepped out of the barracks, and Qin Yan had already walked over with a spear: "I don't know, it seems that something happened at the North City Gate..."
"Wouldn't it...?"
Lin Muyu's heart sank and said, "Follow me immediately." ”
"Hmm..."
The two rode side by side, and the rest of the soldiers had to walk on foot, because the horses had already been killed and eaten meat. The north city wall was full of fire, and when Lin Muyu arrived, he saw a big hole in the city wall, and there was a fire in the city, and a group of soldiers gathered around a huge fire pit to watch, where there was a meteorite.
"There will be a catastrophe in the sky," said a veteran in a trembling voice.
"Don't be alarmist..."
Lin Muyu walked over, frowned and said, "It's just a meteorite, what kind of bullshit murderous star, if you bewitch the public again, you will cut it down for me immediately..."
The veteran hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "The adult spares his life, and the villain will never dare to do it again." ”
Lin Muyu couldn't bear it, stepped forward to help him up, and explained: "There are some small pieces of stars flying between the stars, called meteorites, which are natural phenomena, not evil stars. ”
The veteran understood something, but nodded: "My lord is wise......"
Lin Muyu looked at a burning meteorite, about the size of a millstone, but the power was really amazing, creating a large hole in the city wall with a radius of five meters, and you could see the outside of the city from the inside of the city.
"Hurry up and repair the city wall, it must be repaired before dawn tomorrow, otherwise the demons will get the news soon." Lin Muyu ordered.
On the side, a commander immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Major General..."
This person is from Seven Seas City, a little familiar, about to go through the demon pass with himself, who it is long forgotten, after all, Lin Muyu is also a person with face blindness.
After waiting for a while, after the temperature on the meteorite dissipated, Lin Muyu took out the Dragon Spirit Sword, suddenly pierced the meteorite, and carried it back to the camp, which was his trophy tonight.
And God seems to know what he needs, the third heaven of the star trick is that he needs to talk directly with the stars, and only after refining the stardust can he comprehend the mysterious power of the third heaven...
Lin Muyu needs strength too much, he needs the power of Xingchen Jue to be able to take everyone out of this dead city, when he thinks of the marshal of the demon army called "Lei Chong", Lin Muyu can't help but tremble a little, Lei Chong's strength is too strong, even if he and Du Hai join forces, they are not opponents at all, such a terrifying opponent can inspire Lin Muyu to become stronger...
......
Back in the camp, he sacrificed the refining treasure and began to refine the stardust.
The grinding disc-sized meteorite slowly flipped in the refining tripod, and was continuously scorched and refined by the star flame, the process was relatively long, after nearly three hours of burning, the meteorite was already a fiery red, and the stardust on the surface turned into a stream of starlight lingering in the refining treasure, which was completely vaporized, and the star power hidden in the stardust also turned into a stream of blue, fiery red, and turquoise light that flew in the refining treasure, and finally plunged into Lin Muyu's body one by one.
However, the physique with the Star Essence seems to be very greedy, and is not satisfied with this small amount of star power.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Muyu also refined the stardust for five days, and when this meteorite was refined from the size of a grinding disc to only the size of a teacup, the star power in the sea of meaning finally reached a point of fullness.
"Is it okay?"
Lin Muyu collected the refining treasure tripod, his face was full of sweat, his arm slowly exerted force, and suddenly the stardust light filled around the arm, slowly gathered in the palm of his hand, and actually formed a mountain-like form of stardust energy, the power contained in it is far from being comparable to the rock power of the Shattered Ding Realm, Lin Muyu gently sent his arm, and the star rock in his palm quickly protruded, piercing the air like a sharp knife.
Unfortunately, there were no real usable stones in the barracks.
However, Lin Muyu can still feel the strength of this style, in the martial arts of the Xingchen Jue, this style is called "Five Mountains Descending from the Sky", which combines rock, soil, and fine iron to cause a thousand blows, and it is a substantial attack, which is very strong.
With a slight wave of his palm, the power of the Xingchen Jue was dispersed, and the rock naturally turned into a stream of stars out of thin air and entered the body, at this time, Lin Muyu felt a very comfortable feeling, the strength in the body was full, and it reached an unprecedentedly powerful point, and with the process of cultivating the Xingchen Jue, Lin Muyu's own strength was also slowly improving, and now he should have reached the peak state of the third heaven of the Heavenly Realm, and it was just around the corner to break through and step into the Holy Realm...
At this moment, Qin Yan's voice came from outside: "Big brother, the situation is a little bit bad. ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu asked.
"The people of Seven Seas City are making trouble in the North City Square. ”
"Troublemaker?"
Lin Muyu frowned, put on his armor and grabbed the Dragon Spirit Sword, and said, "Follow me to have a look..."
"Yes..."
......
When they came to the north square, they saw a large group of soldiers of Seven Seas City sitting weakly on the ground, and several captains of ten thousand people stood on the wooden frame of the city wall, their faces were flushed, and they said loudly and excitedly: "Brothers, our soldiers of Seven Seas Province are also imperial soldiers, why don't you give us food, the prince is really too favoritistic, the rations of the Heavenly Cavalry Army and the Divine Bow Battalion are three times as much as ours, why can they eat enough, but our soldiers of Seven Seas City are hungry?..."
A group of soldiers responded.
At this moment, Min Zhan rode over with a group of cavalry of the Heavenly Cavalry Army, his eyes were cold, and he said loudly: "What are you shouting? What are you talking about, why do our Heavenly Cavalry Army eat too much, have you blinded your dog's eyes? The Heavenly Cavalry Army eats exactly the same thing as you every day, and we don't eat much in one bite..."
"Fart..."
A Thousand Commanders of Seven Seas City stretched out his hand and said, "You see that your Heavenly Cavalry Army still has so many war horses, at least thirty war horses, why don't you kill them for us to eat...?"
"You..."
Min Zhan's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "Wang Xi, why don't you restrain your subordinates?..."
Wang Xi was the commander of the army of Seven Seas City, so he naturally understood the stakes, and frowned and said, "Young General, we are just soldiers who fight wars, how can we fight if we don't have enough to eat?"
"You think we'll be full?..." Min Zhan looked angry.
