Chapter 19: The Starry Sky

It is a desert full of rocks as far as the eye can see, and there is nothing but a few sparse dwarf plants. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe gray sky was so silent that not a single bird could be seen, not even the sun. Nu Tian's first feeling was that there was nothing here, and he didn't understand why Xing Huatian wanted to open a country in a deserted place?

"You're lucky, you know, if you hadn't followed me, you might have been laying bricks here right now!" Luo Lingshan said with a chuckle, pointing to the crowd of people who were casting spells at the edge of the square.

"What are they doing laying bricks?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked.

"This square is an extended part of Xinghua Palace, all they have to do is to build a city on it, which will serve as the capital of His Majesty Xinghua Heaven in the future - this is the so-called Jiandu!" Luo Lingshan carefully explained while leading everyone forward: "As the first step in the founding of the country, we must be cautious and hidden, because this is our first stronghold and the only stronghold!"

"The only ...... Then why don't you build a few cities first, and then open the country?" asked Zhang Ershan puzzled.

"It's not easy to establish a transportation teleportation point with the Celestial Empire in the void, and our current teleportation array is engraved in the Xinghua Palace, without a magic weapon like the Xinghua Palace, we can't get supplies in the Celestial Empire. This means that we only have one supply point, and unfortunately the enemy knows that we have one, so we must make sure that this supply point is safe, otherwise we will lose all foreign help...... Finding a secluded and suitable location is not an easy task, after all, this is the capital of a country in the future. At the very least, be self-sufficient, after all, this is a long-term battle. It's not easy to make sure that the capital is not exposed when it is built, and how many more whole cities do you want to build? How to ensure the safety of the material during the transportation of materials, and how to ensure that the personnel are not exposed during the construction of the capital......

"What is our mission?" Cheng Jinshi interrupted impatiently seeing Luo Lingshan's gushing appearance.

"......" Luo Lingshan glared at Cheng Jinshi, and said a little unhappily: "Patrol the edge of the square, sweep away all the wandering demon beasts, and ensure the safety of the stronghold during the establishment of the capital!"

"Hehe, this is our strong point!" Zhang Xiaoshan said excitedly.

"We are on a star beyond the heavens, and don't ask me why I'm in this place, I don't know—and even if I did, I won't tell you! The only thing I can tell you is that when you step out of this line, there is a killing field. Merits, riches, and glory are all before you, and it is up to you whether you earn them or not. Now, report your cultivation and expertise, and let me use this as a basis for arranging your tasks. The group soon came to the edge of the square, and after Luo Lingshan motioned for everyone to stand in line, he calmly looked at everyone before speaking.

After some hard work, Luo Lingshan finally knew everyone's cultivation. Cheng Jinshi was of noble birth, and it was not surprising that there were two Yuan Infant Realm guards around him, Luo Lingshan, but he was slightly taken aback when he learned that Nu Tian was a scholar of the academy. Because this guy didn't have any aura fluctuations on his body, at the beginning, he thought that Nu Tian was just a disciple of Cheng Jinshi, but he didn't expect that he was actually a Jinshi of Haoran Academy!

"The team was divided into two teams, one patrolling and one setting up a defensive position on the edge of the square, which was replaced every six hours. I'll lead one team to establish a stronghold, and now Nu Tian will be my lieutenant, leading the other team to patrol......" Luo Lingshan stood next to Nu Tian and ordered directly, without giving him the slightest chance to refuse.

Under Cheng Jinshi's somewhat cold gaze, Nu Tian calmly accepted the appointment, and discussed with Luo Lingshan about the distribution of personnel, the details of the operation, and the places that need to be paid attention to. A team was quickly divided into two teams of 1,000 people, and because of Cheng Jinshi's ambition, this team was relatively well-equipped—this was the only thing that Luo Lingshan was satisfied with.

"There's a monster in our area, the Wind Breaker Wolf Pony. This is a monster that lives in groups, with great combat power and stamina, and is very suitable as a mount for our army. So if you find them during the mission, you have to notify me as soon as possible, understand?" Luo Lingshan instructed Nu Tian.

"Understood, my lord!" Nu Tian respectfully saluted, and when he was about to leave, he finally couldn't help but remind: "My lord, this team was formed by Lord Cheng Jinshi, I hope you don't ignore his merits!"

"Hey, don't worry! I remember all of that. Luo Lingshan replied with a smile.

After shaking his head slightly, and putting his useless thoughts aside, Nu Tian gathered his team and prepared to leave. The people Cheng Jinshi brought this time were all elite soldiers carefully selected by the Cheng family, not only good at riding and archery, but also cultivated in their bodies, and the worst were also soldiers with three levels of qi training. Luo Lingshan deprived Cheng Jinshi of his power without any worries, which was very reckless in Nutian's eyes. But as a subordinate, he knew that what Luo Lingshan needed was not his own advice, but his own cooperation. So he gave the order and asked the warriors to mount their mounts and silently march towards the wasteland.

The moment he stepped out of the edge of the square, Nu Tian felt that the true qi in his body became more restless, as if a wild horse was about to break free from his control, and Nu Tian knew that this was the result of the disappearance of the last trace of the Heavenly Empire's guardian law. After suppressing the true qi in his body, the slave genius had the energy to inspect the expressions of his companions. Zhang Sanshan's face was a little pale, but his spirit was very good, his eyes were shining with a crazy light, and he was eager for the arrival of battle at any time. The other people's faces were not good, and they all looked hesitant and sluggish, not knowing what they were thinking?

"Cheer up, everyone, this is a world outside the sky, and we can't tolerate the slightest negligence!" The aura on Nu Tian's body suddenly let go, and the unique powerful momentum of the Jinshi Realm suddenly overwhelmed everyone.

When assigning the team, Luo Lingshan left Zhang Ershan and Zhang Xiaoshan, and also assigned one of Cheng Jinshi's Yuanying guards to Nutian's team. At this time, that Yuan Ying Xiu felt that Nutian's momentum couldn't help but change his face greatly, and his original arrogant and indifferent expression immediately disappeared without a trace. Seeing that everyone succumbed to his momentum, a smile flashed on Nu Tian's face, and he whispered the word "go", leading the team towards the depths of the wasteland.

The vicinity of the edge of the Xinghua Palace Square may have been swept away by the Great Divine Powers, and the team of Nu Tian ran for more than ten miles and did not find a single demon beast. But as they went deeper, some traces of weak monsters began to appear on the wasteland, which made the soldiers slowly start to get nervous.

"Huh!"

The six-pupiled horned antelope suddenly let out an exclamation, and one of the eyes on its forehead simultaneously emitted a silver light, which shot directly at the pile of sand and gravel not far away. In the light and shadow, a monster suddenly pounced out of the sand and stones, and attacked the Nutian team with lightning speed. It all happened so suddenly that the soldiers couldn't react at all. Seeing that the beast was about to rush in front of everyone, when a thousand equals were fired, there was a "bang", and a faint water curtain appeared in front of everyone, which forcibly blocked the monster.

"Shoot the arrows!"

When everyone was stunned, Nu Tian immediately shouted an order.

As soon as Nu Tian's voice fell, the soldiers reacted, and suddenly a dense rain of arrows shot out, almost all of which were nailed to the monster's body. It's a pity that the beast has thick skin and thick flesh, and it doesn't care about these sharp arrows at all, and as soon as it shakes its body, all those arrows fall down. And just as it was about to attack again, a figure suddenly flashed in front of it, and then the huge monster fell to the ground with a "boom". Zhang Sanshan stood on the monster's body, looking indifferently at the soldiers who were frozen in front of him, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Put away the corpse and move on!" Nu Tian ignored the eager gazes of the soldiers looking at Zhang Sanshan, but immediately opened his mouth and ordered loudly.

"Yes, my lord!"

Nu Tian clearly felt the awe in the soldiers' tones, and couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face.

I don't know if more than a month has passed, Nutian took his warriors to rest in front of a cave. There was only a faint starlight in this broken place, and with a large area of cloud cover, the ground was basically pitch black. But for the monks like Nutian, it was not too much of a problem. Patrolling and hunting, sticking to the defense, Nu Tian and the others slowly began to get used to this kind of life.

"My lord!" a man covered in mud crawled out of the cave. After wiping the muddy water off his face two or three times, he revealed the fierce face of the mad wolf.

"How?"

"Those bed bugs' nests are really inside!" said Mad Wolf excitedly.

"Very good!" Seeing that this horse thief leader was willing to take such a risk in order to gain his own appreciation, he couldn't help but make Nu Tiangao look at him.

"Childe, you can start!" Zhang Sanshan said beside him.

"Then lure them out!" Nu Tian nodded and said.

Zhang Sanshan lit the haystack at the mouth of the cave, and then used a blast technique to blow the poisonous smoke into the cave. After a while, black monsters the size of donkeys crawled out of their holes. Nutian asked his soldiers to lure the worms away one by one, and used another medicine he had prepared to poison them. Since the cave is not large, it can accommodate two insects at most, and there are no accidents when they are prepared.

Half a day later, thousands of huge black worms were lying outside the cave. Nu Tian glanced at the messenger in his hand, and learned that in front of another cave on the other side of the mountain, the team of the Yuan Infant Monk had also caught a large number of giant insects, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied!

"The Worm King has escaped! There is still a hidden passage that has not been discovered. Zhang Sanshan came out of the cave and said anxiously.

"......" Nu Tian frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, a messenger flew in front of him. And when he opened it, the whole person jumped up, because he had finally waited for that exciting news!
