Chapter 9 Ruwu
For Zhou Zhuo, the results of studying biotechnology in hidden memories have already emerged.
By simply using mirage to simulate a substance called 'primordial flesh and blood', the demon cultists transformed into shadow warriors driven by extraordinary power.
But that's it, it's still far from what he wants.
The current Shadow Warrior is just a base model, with no features or weapons.
Indeed, there will be bread. And his progress can be said to be rapid with each passing day.
But the appearance of the demon cultists still reminded him that there was not much time left for him to prepare.
Behind the demon cultists are a series of cults, and behind the cults are the demons.
This dark group is ancient and profound. As the divine calamity approaches, the suppression effect of the gods has been rapidly reduced, and they have begun to move like thawing pests.
What we encountered this time is just a trivial test. Once it is confirmed that it is not a trick to trick them, but that the suppression is really greatly reduced or even ineffective, they will definitely explode into a carnival.
What makes Zhou Zhuo unhappy is that he did not expect that in this area, which is not a traditional area of the demon clan, demon cultists would already be active at this time.
"I hope these guys won't affect my opportunities." Zhou Zhuo thought dullly.
A few hours later, the night fell, dark clouds covered the moon, and there was a damp smell in the air. A heavy rain was about to come.
Zhou Yi and his party successfully arrived at their destination before sunset, but now everything was closed and they were resting quietly.
Chen Guang doesn’t have much experience in managing people.
Wu Sheng is okay, he just likes to work alone, but his background determines that it is not difficult for him to command a team of no more than a thousand people.
Zhou Zhuo handed over control of Yinglishi to him.
Wu Sheng began to control and manage the army in a unified way. Even without the tools at his disposal, he still relied on the strong and comprehensive qualities of the shadow warriors to build a small and simple camp, with a wall and a watchtower and a horse.
Chen Guang, who was on duty, held a precious eagle bow and sat cross-legged in the watchtower. He squinted at the lights more than a thousand meters away and muttered in his heart: "Idiot."
Deserted villages, ruined towns and ruined temples are very likely to hide dirt and evil. An experienced traveler like him would never take advantage of this kind of thing. He would rather put in a little extra effort and build a temporary camp in a suitable place.
The most important thing is that these people did not abide by the safety regulations of resting after sunset. They were still making a lot of noise at this time. The noise could be heard far away and there were a lot of lights. I really felt that my journey was too easy, so I had to
Cause trouble.
‘Chi! Chi!’ The big raindrops began to fall, hitting the grass and the soil, and the sound was clear. And soon, there was only the loud sound of rain falling between the sky and the earth.
Suddenly, Chen Guang's heart moved.
As a hunter, he has a unique ability to perceive nature. After being given the top flow meridian by Zhou Zhuo, his strength increased rapidly and he acquired supernatural properties.
Even though there was heavy rain at this time, I still noticed something abnormal.
"Weird!? It really happened!" Chen Guang not only remembered Zhou Zhuo's words when the three of them left Yucheng.
Now, the actual situation not only confirms what Zhou Zhuo said is true, but it is even more serious. In the afternoon, demon cultists robbed the road, and in the evening, there were strange attacks on the camp. It was really a chaotic dance of demons.
Of course, the strange target is not Zhou Zhuo's camp. Zhou Zhuo has a complete set of methods. After he settles down, he has a special jade talisman to suppress it. He hides his energy and becomes invisible. Unless he happens to bump into it, it will be difficult to find it.
More than a thousand meters away, an abandoned village.
The Changfeng caravan settled here.
They didn't act so amateurish in the first place, they really had no choice but to do so.
They didn't know that the guys who looked like mountain people were actually demon cultists.
In fact, they are indeed mountain people, and they can't help but rob the road only when the opportunity is particularly good. Most of the time, they are half-cultivating and half-hunting.
However, the suppression of Shinto has been loosened, and evil spirits have emerged. The most direct manifestation of the demons' side is that the cult has become active. These mountain people are the minions integrated by an evil cultivator.
Zhou Yi had experience in his previous life and had sharp eyes. He recognized his identity in time, so his sword was sharp and ruthless, and he came and went like the wind. After killing, he escaped far away.
The Changfeng caravan seems to have some ink stains. The people in the caravan are greedy for the interests of these devils, such as the scattered silver coins and weapons they carry.
As for the caravan worshiper, he was interested in Zhou Yi's extraordinary methods and conducted detailed investigations to obtain some valuable information.
As a result, after such delay, another wave of demon dogs appeared.
By this time, some people in the caravan had already noticed that something was wrong with the situation.
Although the magic patterns on Mogouzi's body are like tattoos and are difficult to identify due to the strength of the warriors, the weapons used by these people show their level of organization.
Mogouzi uses two weapons. One is the mace. This weapon is easy to misunderstand. After all, the technical content of these weapons is really low.
But another kind of weapon, the barrel crossbow, cannot be made by ordinary blacksmiths.
And the people from the Changfeng Caravan discovered that these barrel crossbows were not only sophisticated, but also had obvious standardized characteristics. At first glance, they were made by large workshops and strict processing procedures.
This type of production unit must have sufficient market demand to be able to support it.
So, whether it comes from a large workshop that has close ties with the government or the military, the fact that the mountain people can equip such weapons is something worthy of vigilance.
In fact, not only is the barrel crossbow, the mace is also not simple. It is made of well-selected materials and processed by a lathe. It is extremely easy to use. The front end is not equipped with rusty nails, but a blade. Although it looks very irregular, it looks like an edged tool.
The semi-circular blade is properly set on the wooden stick and tightly wrapped with iron wire to fix it. This kind of processing technology has gone beyond the realm of simplicity.
It can be said that this kind of weapon is also a specially designed and manufactured standard weapon. It just looks rough and barbaric. When people face it, they are easily affected by the established perception.
Now, how do the people in the caravan still understand that behind these mountain people are black hands who can organize and train armed thugs?
So as soon as the second wave of demon dogs appeared, the people in the caravan quickly gave up their illusions and knew that it was hard to be good.
Next, the caravan went all out, including using the power of worship, to fight a bloody road at a lower cost.
But the price you have to pay is not only these, but also the threat of missing the camping spot and getting caught in the rain.
The Changfeng caravan is not as luxurious as Zhou Zhuo and others. Once it is washed away by the heavy rain, it will not be a loss at all.
In the end, I had to stay in a deserted village and hurry up and get into the village in the dark before the heavy rain fell.
They often run on this road, so naturally they know nothing about this deserted village, otherwise they would not come to this place off the main road.
As far as they know, this deserted village was first attacked by bandits and then plagued. The loss of labor was too great to support a village, so it was abandoned.
After all, in this era, it is necessary to guard against beasts, bandits, and strange things. These prevention expenditures determine that it is difficult for a settlement of ten households to survive. There must be hundreds of households anyway. Only by joining together can we afford the expenditure on prevention.<
/p>
It is precisely because the village was abandoned due to trouble, that I felt lucky.
As a result, the house leaked and it rained all night.
Fierce monsters are coming, and not only monsters, but also aliens.
Weird, these are two concepts. Among them, aliens are the farthest from the concept of "human", and are even greater than the difference between demons and humans.
