The Journey to the Great Wilderness Chapter 42 The Battle of Tsukidan
In the military camp, Duan Chen had obtained 6,963 military merits, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
But I heard that Cao Duwei said at the right time: "Duan Chen, do you know that my military camp collects treasures and sells treasures, and now that you have such a big military achievement, I don't know what kind of treasure you want to exchange for?"
Duan Chen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "The junior wants to exchange it for a gun-type magic weapon and a storage bag. ”
At present, his strength is close to that of the foundation building monk, and when he breaks through the foundation building in the future, a low-grade magic weapon like the silver dragon spear is not enough to exert his full strength, and as for the storage bag, such a storage device with a hidden universe is not to be missed.
I only heard Cao Duwei speak: "In my Qingshan Army, there are four types of guns, middle, upper, and extreme, of which the best one of each product is divided into 1,000, 3,000, 5,000 and 8,000 points for military merits, and as for storage bags, there are also four grades, divided into 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 and 4,000 points for military merits. ”
Duan Chen pondered for a while, and said, "Lord Duwei, I don't know if you can take out the best high-grade gun-type magic weapon in the Qingshan Army and let the juniors look at it first?"
Cao Duwei smiled kindly and said, "There is nothing to do." ”
The palm of his hand was flipped, and a spear eight feet six inches long, the head of the spear was as red as fire, and the spear body was painted with cloud-like spirit patterns appeared out of thin air, and he handed it to Duan Chen and said: "The Chiyun musket is the best high-grade spear magic weapon in my Qingshan Army, and it took several months to build it by Master Yun of Wanbao Pavilion with Chiyanyang steel, and it takes five thousand military skills to replace it." ”
Duan Chen stretched out his right hand and took the spear, but he felt that his hand sank, and he couldn't help but exert a slight force, so he held the Chiyun musket in his hand.
Seeing this, Cao Duwei continued: "Speaking of this Chiyun musket, because it is made of Chiyanyang steel, when the gun is completed, it is already a high-grade magic weapon with fire attributes, plus the fire cloud spirit pattern engraved on the body of the gun, once it is instilled with aura, it can release a force of red flame, which is a rare and excellent product among the high-grade guns." ”
At this time, I only heard the Seven Demon Lords speak: "This Chiyun Musket is not bad, you cultivate the Nine Yang Demon Body, and your body contains the power of Nine Yangs, if it is used in conjunction with this Red Cloud Musket, the power is even greater." ”
Duan Chen was still hesitating whether to spend five thousand military merits to replace this Chiyun musket, but when he heard this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately spoke: "Lord Duwei, this Chiyun musket junior wants it, as for the storage bag, let's choose the lowest grade." ”
There was a hint of a smile in Captain Cao's eyes, and he nodded: "Five thousand military merits for the Chiyun musket, one thousand military merits for the lower grade storage bag, a total of six thousand military merits, after deducting these six thousand military merits, you still have nine hundred and sixty-three military merits left, I don't know the remaining military merits, what do you plan to replace?"
Duan Chen secretly asked, "Senior, what do you think the juniors should replace?"
The Seven Demon Monarchs said lightly: "Fire attribute spirit stones, or the elixir used by the foundation building monks. ”
Duan Chen's thoughts coincided with those of the Seven Demon Lords, and he immediately said, "Lord Duwei, with the remaining military merit points, I want to exchange some fire attribute spirit stones, or pills that can be used for the cultivation of foundation building cultivators. ”
Cao Duwei was surprised: "It seems that you are very sure to break through the foundation." ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "Under the fire attribute of the spirit stone, ten points of military merit can be replaced by one piece, as for the pill that can be used by the foundation building monks to cultivate, it should be the first Qingling Pill, a two hundred military merits, you currently have nine hundred and sixty-three points of military merit left, how to replace it, you can choose for yourself." ”
Duan Chen secretly groaned in his heart: "This fire attribute spirit stone, although it is helpful for me to cultivate the Nine Yang Demon Body, but I have already obtained a few pieces from Pei Yuan, but I am not busy replacing it, this Qingling Pill is worth two hundred military merits, which is precious, so choose it." ”
He immediately spoke: "Lord Duwei, I plan to exchange four green spirit pills and sixteen fire attribute spirit stones. ”
Cao Duwei nodded, took out an extra storage bag out of thin air in his hand, handed it to Duan Chen, and said, "The Qingling Pill and the Fire Attribute Lower Grade Spirit Stone are all in this storage bag, you only need to refine it with Spiritual Qi, and you can open it with Divine Sense Communication." ”
Duan Chen took the storage bag and said strangely: "Lord Duwei, this divine sense cannot be separated from the body, how can I communicate with the storage bag and open it?"
Cao Duwei smiled and said: "The divine consciousness cannot be separated from the body, that is because the divine consciousness of you and other qi refining cultivators is too weak, once you leave the body, it will dissipate in the void, but if you have something to rely on, it can naturally survive for a short time, otherwise why do you think that the sword cultivator can kill the enemy with the sword, and how can the talisman master manipulate and detonate the spirit rune in the air?"
Duan Chen suddenly realized, and at that moment, he used his own aura to refine the storage bag, and put the Red Cloud Musket and the Silver Dragon Spear, as well as the bags stored in Jiang Yuanchao's place, into the storage bag, and then he and Jiang Yuanchao resigned to Cao Duwei together.
When the two walked out of the barracks, the sky was a little overcast, as if there were signs of wind and rain, and the two couldn't help but turn back to the barracks, meditating and resting, while waiting for the heavy rain to end.
Who knew that this heavy rain was very fierce, and it fell until night, when the clouds dispersed and the rain was harvested, and the moon and stars appeared.
Duan Chen saw that the sky was dark, so he put aside the idea of going out, sat in the tent with Jiang Yuanchao, and silently practiced with the Demon Immortals, and unconsciously passed the night like this.
On the morning of the second day, the two waited in the tent for Zhou Changgong to return from military duties, and after breakfast, they went to the White Tiger Camp school field.
At this time, in the school field, there were already a lot of Qingshan sergeants, and when they looked up, there were no less than 6,000 people, standing in an orderly formation, divided into four battalions, which were the green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west, the red bird in the south, and the Xuanwu in the north.
The four camps are gathered, and the place in the middle of the earth is a wide ring with a height of one zhang and ten zhang in length and width.
Next to the ring, there is another high platform, on which dozens of chairs are placed, and many centurions of the fourth battalion are already sitting on it.
Duan Chen stared at the distance, but saw that at the top of the high platform, five pineapple wooden chairs were placed side by side.
According to Jiang Yuanchao, these five pineapple wooden chairs were specially set up for the lieutenants of the fourth battalion.
When Duan Chen heard this, he was a little puzzled in his heart, there were obviously only four lieutenants in the four battalions, but there were five pineapple chairs, who set up this extra one?
He was puzzled in his heart, and was about to ask out loud, but Jiang Yuanchao smiled and said, "I think we will stand behind the White Tiger Camp." ”
Duan Chen had no choice but to press the doubts in his heart, and stood behind the White Tiger Camp with Jiang Yuanchao and Zhou Changgong.
It is said that the eight thousand Qingshan Army, the four battalions are divided equally, and the White Tiger Battalion should have two thousand, but Duan Chen looked around and found that the Qingshan sergeants of the White Tiger Battalion gathered in this school field were only more than 1,500 people, and the number of the other three battalions was less than 2,000.
At that moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Changgong, isn't this Qingshan Army claimed to have 8,000 people? Why is it that the total number of sergeants in the four battalions of this school field is only more than 6,000?"
Zhou Changgong said with a smile: "Now the number of sergeants in the entire Qingshan Army, the number of people combined, compared to the eight thousand Qingshan Army, I am afraid it is a little more, but some of the sergeants in the Qingshan Army are not present today because they have to perform military affairs, and this can come to six thousand sergeants, which is already too much." ”
Duan Chen was stunned, only listening to Jiang Yuanchao on the side: "Actually, this battle for Zhuji Dan, although only Qi refining tenth-layer monks can participate, but for the fourth battalion of the Qingshan Army, it is also a battle of honor and disgrace. ”
Duan Chen looked around at the sergeants of the four battalions on the field, and suddenly felt that they looked at each other's eyes, all of them were full of fighting spirit, and immediately understood that what Jiang Yuanchao said was true.
Thinking about being in the same Qingshan Army, the sergeants of the four battalions are also constantly competing with each other, and no one wants to be left behind.
However, this matter has little to do with him, although he is now in the Qingshan Army, he is outside the fourth battalion.
Neither is it bound by the military regulations of the four battalions, nor does it belong to any of the four battalions, and it is happy to be alone, and there is no need to care too much about the gains and losses of honor and disgrace.
At this time, I only heard Zhou Changgong ask: "Brother Yuanchao, you must also participate in the Zhuji Dan dispute this time, right?"
Jiang Yuanchao smiled slightly and said, "Although I am not sure, I have to give it a try, otherwise I will be unwilling." ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "Having said that, the time I have been with each other is not short, you will call me Yuanchao in the future, don't call me Brother Yuanchao anymore, highlighting the rustiness." ”
Duan Chen smiled: "Then I might as well be respectful and obey my fate." ”
Zhou Changgong was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from all directions.
Duan Chen looked up, but saw a group of five people flying from the sky outside the school grounds, the first one on the left was a middle-aged man with a cold face, wearing a green dragon battle armor and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and the second was a woman wearing a flaming robe, covering her face with a white handkerchief, so that people could not see her face clearly.
Duan Chen said secretly: "The captain of the four battalions, it is said that only the captain of the Vermilion Bird Battalion is a woman, and this woman must be the captain of the Vermilion Bird Battalion." ”
Thinking in his heart, Duan Chen turned his eyes and looked at the third person beside him, but seeing that his complexion was dark, as high as an iron tower, and his expression was gloomy, he thought that he would not think about it except for the captain of the Xuanwu battalion.
As for the remaining two, Duan Chen couldn't be more familiar.
One is Cao Gong, the commander of the White Tiger Battalion, and the other is Zhuge Xuanshuang.
The five of them came together in the sky and sat on five pineapple wooden chairs on the high platform.
But as soon as the five people sat down, the sergeants of the fourth battalion in the field immediately shouted in unison: "My subordinates meet Lord Duwei." ”
The lieutenant of the fourth battalion sat on the platform, and couldn't help but nod slightly when he heard the sound.
At this time, I only heard Cao Duwei speak: "Xuanshuang, since you are here on behalf of the city lord today, I think you will preside over this battle for Zhuji Dan, right?"
Zhuge Xuanshuang shook his head slightly, and said: "Xuanshuang is still young, and his experience is far inferior to that of the four captains, and this battle for Zhuji Dan is related to the hundreds of tenth-level Qi refining cultivators in the four battalions, so let's leave it to the four captains to preside." ”
The lieutenants of the four battalions on the stage glanced at each other, but when they heard the captains of the Suzaku Battalion, they smiled lightly: "There is a way to be orderly, among the four battalions of my Qingshan Army, Cao Duwei is the oldest, I think this Zhujidan dispute, how about Cao Duwei preside over it?"
The captain of the Qinglong Battalion nodded and said, "It should be so." ”
The commander of the Xuanwu battalion also nodded, and said lightly: "I heard that Captain Cao will be disarmed and return to the field in a few days, and this battle for Zhujidan should indeed be presided over by Captain Cao." ”
Cao Duwei smiled: "Since this is the case, then the Duwei is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." ”
After a slight pause, he stood up and faced the sergeants in the audience, and said loudly: "There are a total of ten in this battle for Zhuji Dan, and in my Qingshan Army, all Qingshan sergeants who have reached the tenth level of Qi refining can stand on the stage and accept challenges from all sides, and each person is limited to half an hour. ”
"Within half an hour, if someone can defeat the defender, they can defend on their behalf, it is still limited to half an hour, if no one can defeat the defender, after half an hour, it will be considered a successful defense, and you can get a Tsukidan. ”
As soon as these words came out, the sergeants of the fourth battalion were already in an uproar.
In this battle for Tsukidan, there is obviously no problem in terms of rules, the strong wins, the loser retreats, and each depends on his ability.
It's just that under the repeated challenges of the sergeants of the fourth battalion, it is not ordinarily difficult to persist for half an hour.
Therefore, the sergeants of the four battalions in the field were all watching, wanting to know which of the four battalions of the tenth layer of Qi refining monks dared to be the first to take the stage to defend and accept challenges from all sides.
But seeing Captain Cao standing on the high platform, he said in a loud voice: "I am the fourth battalion of the Qingshan Army, who wants to be the first to take the stage?"
All the sergeants were looking left and right, and many Qi Refining Tenth-Layer cultivators were also waiting, unwilling to be the first bird, for fear of becoming the target of the public.
Duan Chen stood behind the sergeants of the White Tiger Battalion, and when he saw that no one dared to be the first to come to the stage, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and his body jumped out, and after a few takeoffs, he flew to the ring.
Recently, he has practiced the art of tyrannical spears, comprehended the intent of tyrannical guns, and gradually developed a sense of domineering in his heart.
He is bound to win this battle for Tsukidan, so the first to take the stage is not much different from the last to take the stage.
At this moment, whether it was the six thousand Qingshan troops in the school field, or the centurions and the four captains on the stage, they all looked at Duan Chen at the first moment.
Someone exclaimed, "Who is this person?"
However, except for a few people who knew Duan Chen, in the entire school field, none of the 6,000 sergeants of the four battalions of the Qingshan Army recognized Duan Chen, and just saw him jump out of the White Tiger Battalion, and they identified him as a member of the White Tiger Battalion.
On the high platform, Cao Duwei stared at the ring and said with a smile: "Xuan Shuang, you see that people's eyes are good, this Chen dares to be the first to stand on the stage to defend the ring, just in terms of this courage, he is better than many sergeants of my Qingshan Army." ”
Zhuge Xuanshuang smiled lightly and said, "Then it depends on whether he can hold on for half an hour." ”
Cao Duwei said: "Even the Qingshan bandits were exterminated by him alone, I think this first Zhuji Dan belongs to him." ”
Zhuge Xuanshuang said: "Cao Gong praised it. ”
The two of you say a word, I say a word, the three captains and the centurions on the stage listened silently, and they became more and more curious about this period of time, and their eyes couldn't help but focus on him.
But seeing that Duan Chen was young, standing in the ring with a red cloud musket in his hand, he looked indifferently at the current situation, and was obviously extremely calm, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
Of course, the centurion and captain of the other three battalions all regarded Duan Chen as a sergeant of the White Tiger Battalion at this moment, so they naturally didn't have much of a good impression of him in their hearts.
This battle over Tsukidan is a matter of honor and disgrace for the sergeants of the fourth battalion, and the centurion and the lieutenant of the fourth battalion naturally have their own positions.
However, Duan Chen jumped onto the high platform, took the Chiyun musket out of the storage bag, and began to wait for the sergeants of the fourth battalion to challenge.
It was only for a moment, but he saw that a tenth-level Qi refining monk walked out of the Qinglong Camp first, with a sallow face, holding a gold-ring machete magic weapon, and jumped onto the high platform and said, "The sergeant of the Qinglong Battalion, Shi Yankong, came to ask for advice." ”
Duan Chen returned the salute and said, "Qingshan Army Duan Chen, please." ”
After Shi Yankong and Duan Chen exchanged names, their eyes froze, and they suddenly shouted, and the golden ring machete in his hand slashed out, dancing out of a white knife qi that was long for a long time, bringing up a fierce knife wind, and slashing straight towards Duan Chen.
Seeing this, Duan Chen secretly thought in his heart: "That Qingshan bandit leader Xiang Buqun is also a Golden Ring machete magic weapon, but the momentum is much more terrifying than this Shi Yankong. ”
The Chiyun musket in Duan Chen's hand swept casually, directly swept the knife qi from Shi Yankong, and slammed into the golden ring machete.
But when he heard a loud bang, Shi Yankong was directly swept off the ring by Duan Chen with a knife, and he didn't have the slightest power to resist.
All the sergeants in the audience were taken aback, and with a casual sweep, they defeated a tenth-level Qi refining cultivator, which was enough to prove that the strength of the two was extremely different, and they were not at the same level at all.
