At nightfall, Wei Yuan received a new piece of information: The Xu family was secretly increasing their troops to Hanyang Pass. Currently, more than 300,000 troops had been assembled. In addition, the Xu family had sent more than ten small-scale troops to leave Hanyang Pass.
Set off to the west, whereabouts are unknown.
Wei Yuan frowned slightly, the ghost of the Xu family is really lingering. But now the war with the Wu clan is tense, and he can't take care of the little actions of the Xu family. At this moment, there is a mystery, and the two great national players, Canglongshi, are staying in Qingming, and they have a very high reputation.
, with wide acquaintances, the Xu family should not play any tricks at this time.
It's just that even if Xu Wangu doesn't make any overt actions, he still has to be on guard. Any immortal is very capable. If you really think that he can't do anything, you won't know how he died.
Although the Wu clan withdrew their troops this time, their offensive momentum did not diminish at all, and they continued to dig a canal toward Qingming, which was already extending hundreds of miles away.
At this moment, the Qingming Realm has significantly expanded in other directions, all exceeding 500 miles, but it has been severely compressed in the northwest direction, leaving only 400 miles. The entire Qingming Realm is now shaped like a curved half moon, with many
There was a gap.
The forward troops of the Witch Clan have been deployed to the hundred-mile line, and are fully deployed, starting to build a defense line on the spot to intercept Qingming's reconnaissance cavalry. The power of the Witch Domain's heaven and earth has also become stronger, blocking prying eyes. Now three hundred miles away,
Everything can no longer be seen clearly.
Wei Yuan, on the one hand, mobilized troops to strengthen the defense line, and on the other hand, he stepped up the construction of fortresses.
The experience of the past three wars shows that the defensive effect of small, low-rise fortresses with cannons is very outstanding. The Wu clan often has to pay three times the price to capture a fortress. And after the attack, they will continue to pay the price. After all, the location of the fortress is
It is fixed, and the missiles can bombard it at the fastest speed to cleanse the witches occupying the fortress.
But there was another serious matter before Wei Yuan: the gunpowder was used too quickly.
A total of 1.5 million kilograms of gunpowder was used in the previous three battles, and the amount of gunpowder used in each battle was higher. Now there is less than a million kilograms of gunpowder left in the realm. According to this inventory, more than a thousand missiles can kill the remaining gunpowder.
All the gunpowder is used up.
This matter has been lingering in Wei Yuan's mind for a long time, but there is no solution. There are only so many raw materials for gunpowder. Except for spiritual wood, which can be purchased at a high price, the rest cannot be bought even if he wants to.
Wei Yuan originally thought that the gunpowder stock was enough to fight four or five large-scale wars, but he did not expect that the Kingdom of Rain would attack with all its strength. Now that the Wu clan has killed more than one million people in the battle, there is no sign of retreating, but it is still increasing the number of troops.
There is not much inventory left in the Taichu Palace. The main reason is that the things Wei Yuan wants are too unpopular and the quantity needed is too large. The only thing that the Taichu Palace has in stock is spiritual wood. Wei Yuan asked for one million kilograms in one go.
The treasury of Taichu Palace was emptied.
Sun Yu specially arranged for ten monks to test the new gunpowder formula, but how could it be completed in a short time?
By the time Wei Yuan finished handling all kinds of military affairs, it was already late at night. He was flying from a camp to the main peak when suddenly a deep voice sounded in his ears: "Master Wei, do you have time to talk?"
Wei Yuan's heart trembled. This person was able to approach Qing Ming during the war, and he was able to transmit messages to him without disturbing several Yu Jing. It was definitely not easy!
But being in the realm, Wei Yuan was not afraid, so he followed the guidance of the voice and came to the edge of the realm. Here, in the mist, a figure was hidden under a black robe, standing on the top of the hill, waiting.
Wei Yuan.
Although his whole body was wrapped in a black robe, the outline revealed from the outside did not look like a human being. However, the texture of the black robe was special, and no breath was leaked. Wei Yuan's perception could not penetrate the black robe, and he saw
Everything inside.
"Your Excellency, you are not a human race, are you?"
The mysterious man in black robe said in a low voice: "Witch."
"What do you want from me?" Wei Yuan asked directly.
It made a series of incomprehensible grunts, and then said: "Although I really want to eat you now, you are still very useful. There is an adult who doesn't want to see you alive, but he doesn't want to see the red leaves even more.
Success. Therefore, we will give you some help and hope that you will not disappoint your kindness."
"What help?" Wei Yuan asked.
"Tomorrow morning, the caravan from the Ancestral Tribe will arrive. They have brought two million kilograms of thunder sand. It seems that you need this very much recently."
Wei Yuan was shocked, but remained calm on the surface and said: "It is indeed very necessary."
The man in black robe made another series of grunts, seemingly unable to control himself.
It adjusted its voice several times before it became clear, and said: "My lord said that if you want to weaken the ghost witch, you must enter the cold world. Your Excellency has erased the remaining cause and effect on you related to the cold world, and now you are
You can go in without disturbing the ghost witches. This is the location of several ghost witches from the Kingdom of Rain in the cold world."
It stretched out a slender finger from its black robe, and with a slight tap, a strange map immediately appeared in front of it. It had no beginning or end, but there were three stars in the sky.
This is the unique map marking method of Youhan Realm, which uses the invisible stars in the sky as the basis for positioning. Generally, if there are three stars, the position can be determined very accurately.
Weiyuan didn't recognize these three hidden stars, but he thought they were not far away.
Wei Yuan wrote down the map and said, "Thank you sir for me. What do you need me to do?"
"My lord said, as long as you smash that magic weapon on Hongye, it will be considered as repayment."
Wei Yuan nodded.
The black-robed witch clan finally said: "If you have any other requests, you can tell the Ancestral Tribe. They will support you appropriately during this period."
After saying that, the man in black robe suddenly emitted white smoke from all over his body, roared and trembled in pain, and turned into a puddle of clear water in the blink of an eye.
Wei Yuan stood for a while before leaving.
The situation is getting weirder and weirder now. It seems that some people in the Wu clan don't want Hongye to become powerful, so they start to intervene.
The last time Wei Yuan bought hundreds of thousands of kilograms of thunder sand from the Huangzu tribe, it was impossible to hide this from anyone who was interested. With a little testing, you can know that the thunder sand is the raw material of Qingming's new gunpowder.
Regardless of whether what the black-robed witch clan said is true or not, we will know if the caravan from the Huangzu tribe comes tomorrow morning. As for the Youhan Realm, Wei Yuan also plans to put it back on the map again.
Now Qing Ming can only be beaten passively and cannot attack far away from the realm at all. The battle situation is too passive. If it is true as the elder of the Wu clan said, if he can fight back in the Youhan Realm, it may be a way out.
Wei Yuan was about to leave when his mind suddenly moved. Under the blessing of the Wushuang Dao Realm, the newly built Zhoutian Xingdou Formation doubled its effectiveness, making Wei Yuan aware of something unusual.
As soon as Wei Yuan turned his head, he saw a mysterious man in black robe appearing in the distance at the edge of the boundary and falling into the forest below.
And a black robe?
Wei Yuan restrained his aura, concealed himself, and at the same time improved his luck. With the Wushuang Dao Domain covering him, he flew towards the place where the mysterious man in black robe disappeared.
There are countless large rocks standing in the valley between the mountains. A stream flows through the bottom of the valley and flows into a small river at the other end of the valley.
Between the rocks, a vague figure stood in the shadow of the boulders, looking a little restless and kicking the stones subconsciously.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
The mysterious man in black robe fell into the boulder and came to the man. He smiled lowly and said, "I didn't expect that we would see each other again one day."
The man was also wrapped in a cloak, and no trace of his clothing or appearance could be seen. He said in an ordinary middle-aged man's voice: "Why are you still coming to me? I can't help you anymore."
"Who said you can't help? You are still very useful. But if you dare to disappear quietly next time, I won't be so polite."
The man said coldly: "That's it. This is the last time we meet. Don't appear in front of me in the future."
The man in black robe gave a weird and sinister laugh, and suddenly stretched out a hand like a bird's claw, grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up!
His claws clasped tighter and tighter, and the man struggled desperately, but couldn't break free, and lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.
The man in black robe snorted, threw him to the ground, and shot a stream of black energy from his fingertips into his body. The man curled up in pain, trembling, but could not make a sound.
The man in black robe waited for a few breaths before taking back his black energy, and then said: "This is a small lesson for you. If you dare to disobey again, I will take you away directly. You have a good talent, take it back and make a breeding
Not bad. From now on, your descendants will be sacrifices for generations, and they will be slaughtered when they grow up!"
The threat seemed to have worked. The man slowly sat up and said, "What do you want me to do?"
"First, I want the sample and formula of gunpowder. Second, how did Wei Yuan come up with the magic weapon that can shorten life span, and what are its characteristics."
"I can give you the sample of gunpowder, but I don't have access to the formula. I don't know when I can get it. As for that treasure, few people in the entire realm know about it. If he hadn't taken it out that day, I wouldn't have known how to return it.
There is this thing. I can’t do this, please kill me!”
The man in black robe softened his attitude and said: "I'm not forcing you to do something that is completely impossible, but you are so close to him, it is indeed very possible. If it doesn't work, use your body! I got the news
, that guy is very lustful and likes to mate. If you mate with him more often, you will naturally know a lot of secrets."
The man's body trembled slightly, as if he was extremely embarrassed and angry, and said: "You'd better kill me!"
The man in black robe sneered and said: "If you don't want to, I will take you back now, and then you will mate with many different things every day! Do you want this?"
The man was silent.
The man in black robe softened his voice and said: "We have many treasures left by the powerful human race back then. Among them are three Taixuan Creation Pills, which can greatly refine and improve the quality of the Dao Foundation. With your qualifications, after taking it, you will be able to
It will go straight to the top of the Immortal Foundation. Don’t you want it? After doing this, I will give you one first."
"Keep your word?" The man slowly stood up.
"Of course, you are of great use. I have high expectations for you, haha!"
The two separated and went in different directions.
In the night sky, Wei Yuan's figure emerged from nothingness. He looked thoughtfully at the direction in which the figure disappeared.
Chapter completed!
