Chapter 069: A New Conjecture
According to Wang, the two rubies inlaid on the new bow are noble "pigeon's blood red", which is a rare treasure in the world, and will add additional divine energy to the arrows. There is no doubt that it is a rare gift from a big star.
After the magical postman named the bow "Holy Blood", he set off in a hurry, leaving no chance for Qi Lang to excuse himself. The Hao Song Troupe has already left for Hayes City in the southwest, and Zhu Lai seems to have received another invitation from the Otto Empire to perform, and in order to send the short sword to Qi Lang, Ah Wang has run a lot of unjust ways.
Now, Qi Lang couldn't shirk Zhu Lai's kindness hundreds of kilometers away, otherwise when the battle came again, he would have to fight with his bare hands.
After sending Wang away, Qi Lang pulled out the Xiang Jin short sword, took it in his hand and waved it twice. It feels pretty good, it's quite handy, and although it's not the long sword he was expecting, it's an easy-to-carry self-defense weapon, at least when it's hand-to-hand, it's easy to play a role. The sword was sharp and sharp, but because it was used as a craft for most of the time, hanging on the walls of the ornate royal palace, and never being baptized by the flames of war, it looked docile and lacking the blood necessary to be a weapon.
But it wasn't a big deal at all, and Qi Lang was sure that it would change in the near future.
Early the next morning, the large team of the Twenty-Seven Warbands returned, and Maggie led the group of young men to complete a conquest of mutants. However, compared to Qi Lang's fierce fight in the Black Forest, their experience in the Surui Heights can only be called pediatric, because it is said that their four hundred men worked for several days before they finally hunted more than twenty mutant jackals.
The Ministry of Military Affairs has been grinding for a long time, and finally counted the meritorious rewards at this stage, and the spirit stones have also been sent down one after another. When Gulf and Jira walked back with the heavy sack on their backs, Felix's eyes were red with jealousy. That was indeed an astonishing achievement, the soldiers of Qi Lang's detachment had won a total of more than two hundred primary spirit stones, which was basically the same as the other team in terms of quantity, and Qi Lang and Ou Wu had also obtained an additional thousand primary spirit stones because they had killed a bag!
According to Gurf, this was the result of a deliberate embarrassment on the part of the Ministry of War, who insisted that the rat-headed Baji was only a beast body, because with the strength of Qi Lang and Ou Wu, it was impossible to kill a stronger opponent than that. The attitude of the Ministry of Military Affairs was indeed infuriating, but to be honest, Qi Lang didn't care too much about it, because he had already tried, and the spirit stone still didn't help his next promotion!
The battle with the Earth Dragon had already brought Qi Lang a hundred primary spirit stones, but after he wasted more than twenty of them, he finally realized that it didn't work at all, and the tonic that all the soldiers of the Whirling Front Army dreamed of was just garbage to him!
In any case, the five hundred spirit stones that Qi Lang and Ou Wu each received still caused a great commotion, you know, the more than four hundred soldiers were busy for several days, and the number of spirit stones mixed was only a small number of people, and the number was pitiful, it was not enough for them to successfully advance to a stronger level.
But the soldiers of Qi Lang's team were lucky, because the deputy captain generously donated all the five hundred primary spirit stones, which were distributed by Gulf and Jira, to help this group of rookies be promoted to junior warriors. After a few days, the garbage detachment was completely reborn, and all but one or two soldiers who really didn't know anything about it were promoted.
Now, the soldiers of this substitute detachment have also found their self-confidence, and even walk with their heads held high, as if they were deliberately demonstrating to Felix. After Gila and three other corporals were fixed in their positions as toilet cleaners, the boys of the garbage detachment realized that they were in trouble, and their attitudes began to straighten up, and their irrational confrontation slowly moved from the ground to the underground.
The mischievous mischievous behavior of the corporals also gave Qi Lang a bit of a headache, and although Felix had been targeting him intentionally or unintentionally, Qi Lang didn't actually have much hatred for him - Felix probably shouldn't have stumbled in secret, nor should he have thrown him into prison insistically, but that didn't erase the fact that he was still a good soldier. When his position of authority is threatened, Felix's reaction is actually quite normal, and Qi Lang can understand it completely.
But not hating him doesn't mean not hating him, Qi Lang can still accurately distinguish that subtle difference. Qi Lang knew that he had become a thorn in Felix's side, but so what, he never wanted to gain someone's approval by retreating, on the contrary, he wanted to win more results in order to win the respect of his opponents. He was more eager than ever for competition, knowing that it would help him become stronger, and one day, he would be so strong that he would become an opponent that the villains of the Otto Empire could not ignore!
In the following month or so, the two teams of soldiers trained more energetically, and there was never a minute of free time on the training ground, which was always overcrowded, and the sweat of the soldiers made the land muddy, giving people the illusion that the rainy season had arrived early.
And among the soldiers, the one who showed the hardest work was undoubtedly the Gondwala descendant.
Ou Wu has now become completely mute, almost never communicating with people, just practicing the skills of the saw. That made Gulf suspicious, thinking that he had been burned out by the super black tea he had made himself. But Qi Lang didn't approve of this shoddy joke, because he knew that Ouwu's motivation was - a beast pet and a divine sword, which were indeed goals worth endless effort.
Gulf eventually managed to advance to a low-level warrior, which also allowed him to consume more than thirty primary spirit stones. The difficulty of leveling up is almost exponential in terms of geometry, and consuming so many spirit stones can already prove that he is a genius warrior. However, Gulf was very distressed, although the exploits he had achieved in the battle with the Earth Dragon were exchanged for hundreds of spirit stones, he still felt that his heart was dripping blood, because according to the current black market price, those spirit stones can be exchanged for more than a dozen Syrs, who wouldn't feel distressed?
Becoming a low-level warrior means that his combat power has been further improved, and the arrows that Gulf shoots now have become more powerful, and can pierce the thick willow tree at a distance of about 100 meters.
Although Qi Lang couldn't use the spirit stone to further improve his own ability, he didn't have much worry about it, because compared to those spirit stones that were completely controlled by the military, it was less difficult to obtain the spirit power ore, not to mention that he now knew where to find a large amount of spirit power ore - Radiant Willow Forest! Now is not a good time, because spring is the season when catkins are flying, and Radiant Willow Forest is a hell on earth that devours life, and when the hot summer comes, Qi Lang will naturally come to the door.
Now, Qi Lang is more concerned about another issue, one that is entirely his own.
He remembered vividly that during the life-and-death duel with Buggy on the Psychedelic Pool, the wolf tooth necklace around his neck flashed again, and the feeling was very different from before, because he was sure that it was not the light red wolf tooth that played a role.
With the help of the Sage's Charm that Gulf had accidentally invoked, he was able to solve the puzzle that the wolf's tooth represented, but the remaining five remained behind the scenes, like five jars buried deep in the ground, waiting for someone to dig them out, open the mud seal, and let the mellow aroma escape.
This time, it seems that I have a clue again.
What's the hint? Is it a temporal vortex, or is it a pool of psychedelic power?
It was indeed a difficult problem, and it almost made Qi Lang break his head. But that was probably still quite important, because during the battle, Qi Lang had clearly experienced that magical power - the time vortex slowed down the movements of Ou and Baji, and although he himself was affected to a certain extent, the arrows he shot still maintained their original speed.
In this analysis, the answer is more likely to be time, but if this conjecture is correct, which of the remaining five riddles corresponds to it? and if the conjecture is correct, the answer is really this invisible and untouchable force of nature, and by which means should the holy grail of the wine be put into the body?
The exploration of these puzzles is really a huge burden on Qi Lang's body, and he can't find anyone to ask for help, because it is a magical legend that only circulates in his homeland, and it is also a huge labyrinth that he must face alone! Qi Lang also secretly thought in his hard thinking that maybe Zhu Lai would have some understanding of these puzzles, after all, they were also a member of the Haozong Kingdom. But he quickly dispelled that idea - he was just a good-for-nothing actor, how could such a serious thing have anything to do with them?
It seems that there must be a secret to the psychedelic pool hidden in the depths of the Black Forest! Qi Lang has already made up his mind, sooner or later, he must return there and explore carefully, to see if he has missed any important clues. I only hope that by then, the scuba mastiff has been reunited with Aowu's relatives and will not come to make trouble again.
And now, the doubts in his heart can only be put aside, because the next task will be even more important - a competition with the Otto Empire, Qi Lang can't wait!
