Chapter 427 Ansha City
The spirit boat sailed, and Wei Zhong and others disembarked in a city, where they took the teleportation array directly to the Shagang Demon Realm.
Sensing the aura of Hedao in the giant city behind him, Wei Zhong was secretly frightened.
‘No wonder it has developed so rapidly, and even the spiritual energy towers at the Hedao level have been developed. ’
‘But...’
With surprise and confusion, Wei Zhong felt the pull of the void in the flash of spiritual light, and in an instant he had arrived in a strange area.
This is also a majestic city, but it is obviously less sophisticated and more rough than the cities in Kyushu.
Wei Zhong looked through a corner of the palace, and the spiritual consciousness that spread out had almost captured the appearance of the entire sand city.
"Friend Daoist Jie, long time no see."
Hearing the call, Wei Zhong turned his head and saw a familiar face appearing in front of his eyes:
"Are you, Hu Yingzhong, fellow Taoist Hu?"
The other party was none other than Tao Yuancheng's Lianxu Hu Yingzhong, whom Wei Zhong had come into contact with, but thousands of years had passed and the other party had already set foot in the realm of Hedao just like Wei Zhong.
Although the aura is slightly empty, it seems that the breakthrough has not been long ago, but it is also a true harmony.
Looking at Wei Zhong attentively, he sighed:
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still see fellow Taoist Jie."
Although some unpleasant things happened between the two before, it is obvious that these unpleasant things have dissipated with the passage of time.
Moreover, this fellow Daoist Hu seems to have experienced ups and downs, and his temperament has changed. He is not as bossy as before, and his attitude is much gentler.
Wei Zhong walked out of the teleportation circle, came to his side, followed him out of the teleportation hall, and saw the bustling crowd outside the hall.
"This is Ansha City, one of the frontline cities of our Kyushu in the Shagang Demon Territory.
"The city's defense force is quite complete. Including Hedao alone, there are three people. After Brother Jie arrived, the number increased to four.
"There are countless levels of refining the void and transforming into gods, some of which come from our Jiuzhou official, and some of which come from private forces..."
Hu Yingzhong explained, and Wei Zhong also kept asking, and learned that the other two Hedao here were much stronger, and they were both in the middle stage of Hedao.
Moreover, they all rely on their own promotion to the middle stage of Hedao, rather than the Hedao created with the help of the spiritual energy tower.
"Listening to what Fellow Daoist Hu said, it seems that he has some resentment towards the enlightened person in the Spiritual Energy Tower?"
The latter snorted:
"More than just resentment, I wish I could tear off those guys' faces to see if their face is as thick as that broken tower..."
Hu Yingzhong's explanation full of resentment made Wei Zhong know that Jiuzhou had now been divided into two factions.
One faction was promoted with the help of the Spiritual Energy Tower and was responsible for guarding the current territory of Kyushu's Internal Affairs Office.
The other faction is promoted independently and is mainly responsible for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' development tasks.
The two parties have different functions and contradictory policies.
"If it weren't for the Taoist master above, I'm afraid those guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have taken away all the power, leaving our Kyushu in isolation.
"I don't even want to think about whether their spiritual energy tower is a resource that we and others stole."
Of course, not everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a conservative, and there are also many people who support the development of Kyushu.
For example, a large number of spiritual tower monks within the Shagang Demon Realm think so.
The two of them were talking and walking as they walked along the streets of the city and arrived at a high tower.
This is not a psychic tower, but an ordinary high tower. The terrain is high enough to put the entire Ansha City in sight, and you can also see the scenery outside the city in the distance.
At the top of the tower, Wei Zhong saw a young male monk, who unlike Wei Zhong had a beard.
But there is no hair at all on the chin, under the nose, or even on the top of the head.
The light above the head reflects the sunlight outside the tower.
Wei and Zhong stepped forward, and the latter's eyes shifted and fell on them from the outside.
"I guess this is Fellow Taoist Jie, right?"
With a kind smile on his face, the other party approached Wei Zhong and slowly stretched out his right hand.
Only then did Wei Zhong realize that the latter was taller than him, and his whole body was also slightly larger.
The two men shook hands. Wei Zhong's palm was in his generous right hand, almost like a chicken's claw.
Recalling Hu Yingzhong's story just now, Wei Zhong knew that this person's name was Ding Tianyou.
"Is this the body method practiced by fellow Daoist Ding?"
The latter laughed twice:
"Jie Dao has a friendly look. I really practice physical skills, so I have such a body."
The three of them chatted and learned that another fellow Taoist from Hedao had gone out to check the surrounding situation.
This is the daily task of Wei Zhong and others when the war ends.
"Fellow Taoist came at a good time. We have just entered the truce period.
"These monks in the city go out to hunt every day, and we also conduct routine inspections to prevent the seventh-order demon dragon from probing.
"It's a pretty peaceful day in the Shagang Demon Realm."
Hu Yingzhong echoed:
"Yeah, if it's a war, it won't be so easy. It will be necessary to fight to the death with those seventh-level monsters..."
The two talked about their previous experiences, which gave Wei Zhong a better understanding of the Shagang Demon Realm.
"Didn't these demonic dragon tribes unite? So we were able to break through?"
"Yes, there are, but too few," Ding Tianyou rubbed his chin without a trace of beard, and added, "The demon dragon is stupid, and there are more disputes between different tribes than unity.
"Even if we unite together, it will only be a local battlefield. The power of the fifth and sixth level demon dragons does not pose much of a threat to our Nine Provinces Immortal Combat Power.
"As long as those seventh-level demon dragons have not united together, there is nothing to fear."
The two explained to Wei Zhong the various techniques and methods of Kyushu, including the heavy spirit armor that Wei Zhong had seen.
Those items can increase the monk's combat power by at least a small level, and to a certain extent are equivalent to the physical body refining technique, which is enough to temporarily defeat the demon dragon of the same level.
It is precisely because of the existence of this thing that Kyushu's mid-level offensive power is stronger than ever.
Strong enough to fight step by step and clear this sandy hillock demon territory.
"In addition, there are psychic cannons and combat shuttles guarding the front line...
"The psychic tower to be built, as well as the various protective measures that match it, are enough to allow us to guard a large amount of territory while continuing to develop."
While the three of them were talking, a stream of light streaked across the sky and gradually came closer.
Penetrated the defensive light shield of Ansha City and fell into the tower.
Seeing Wei Zhong, a strange monk, his expression was slightly different.
The three of them stood up, and Wei Zhong already held his hand:
“I’ve met Fairy An!”
The other party's long flowing hair is tied behind her head and hangs down to her waist. She is a female monk.
An's Group, a large company originating from within Kyushu, has strong economic strength behind it.
At the same time, he is also one of the core talents cultivated by Jiuzhou.
Along the way, his cultivation has improved, and he is now at the middle stage of Hedao.
"Meet fellow Daoist Jie."
The other party obviously also knew the origin of Wei Zhong, a strange monk.
After a brief greeting, the few of them started talking about patrol matters.
"... Fellow Daoist Hu is right. More than fifty miles away from Ansha City, there is indeed an underground mine that we have never mined.
"It is suspected that there is a new group of demonic dragons inside.
"I wandered around the outside a few times and walked a few miles inside. I encountered demonic dragon attacks many times...
"There is a crisis in the depths that makes me very vigilant." Where the Shagang Demon Realm is, there are not only the demon dragon tribe entrenched above the ground, but also special beings living in the underground mineral veins.
An Yuxuan encountered this kind of demon dragon tribe.
"Did fellow Taoist bring back the corpse of the demon dragon?"
The opponent waved his sleeves, and a strange-looking demon dragon suddenly landed on the field.
It was not big, about the same size as the adult tiger Wei Zhong had seen in his previous life.
It has jet black hair on its body and sharp legs, and its structure is very suitable for digging soil underground.
Wei Zhong looked around and saw that the demonic dragon's back was smooth and there were no wings growing.
The head, which is larger than a human, has a somewhat obscene rat face.
The eyes are degenerated and the pupils are cloudy. They are replaced by wide ears, which is very consistent with the characteristics of underground creatures.
"What a strange creature."
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
When normal people see this kind of thing, they will never associate it with a demonic dragon.
However, Wei Zhong's perception did sense quite strong dragon blood from his body.
‘At the fifth level, the bloodline concentration is higher than that of dragons such as Skycrap Dragon and Iron Armored Dragon at the same level. ’
Wei Zhong pushed aside its hair and saw a layer of very fine scales underneath.
"This thing is very slippery, and its attacks will retreat immediately. If it does not succeed, it will retreat immediately.
"Hairy Slippery Hand seems to be able to ward off spells. Ordinary low-level spiritual spells falling on him will be weakened by at least 50%. Even if they are of the same level, they will be reduced by about 30%.
"Coupled with the scales under the hair, the damage of the spell can be greatly reduced.
"The defense is good, and what's more terrible is that the speed is quite terrifying..."
An Yuxuan described the characteristics one by one. Ding Tianyou clenched his fists and said hesitantly:
"This thing seems to be more afraid of close attacks?"
With a poke of his finger, he easily pierced the monster's hair and even its scales.
Wei Zhong also tried to take out the fifth-level magical sword, slightly stimulating the spiritual patterns on the sword, and sure enough, he easily made a gash on his back.
This demonic dragon defense only targets long-range spiritual magic, and its response to magic weapons and other objects is quite limited.
Everyone was trying to figure out where the body's weaknesses were based on the corpse.
Gradually, it was discovered that except for the sharp claws on the four legs, which were slightly hard, the rest of the body was quite ordinary.
Even its bones are soft and can deform if squeezed randomly.
"To deal with this thing, we should mainly attack with physical magic weapons. Spiritual magic can be used, but it can only be used on the forehead with less hair..."
A projection of spiritual light fell in front of the four people, and above it was the form of a demonic dragon.
The four characters "gopher, demon, dragon" are marked on it.
The body below is divided into sections, with various internal markings.
The four people continued to fill in the gaps, but after a while, the weaknesses and even the advantages of a brand new demonic dragon were figured out by several people.
Some of his habits were even speculated based on his physical condition.
"Okay, let's give this object to the vanguard for further exploration and supplementation."
Ding Tianyou raised his hand and the projected information was conveyed to other monks in Ansha City.
Within half a quarter of an hour, Wei Zhong saw a fleet of shuttles rising in the city, heading towards the direction marked by the intelligence station.
Wei Zhong looked confused:
"Seventh level ethnic group, shall we follow and investigate?"
Several people shook their heads slightly, and Hu Yingzhong patted Wei Zhong on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist Jie, these people are all veterans in exploring the Shagang Demon Realm.
"This action is not for other reasons, but for wealth.
"Having obtained first-hand intelligence, they will have an intelligence advantage in the subsequent conquest process, which will be enough to use higher-level resources..."
After some explanation, Wei Zhong learned that most of these people were from the professional team of the An Group, and only three or two were officials from Jiuzhou, supervising a few people not to falsify intelligence.
‘This is different from the sect monks I have experienced who unified the overall situation. ’
Wei Zhong looked like he didn't expect that Jiuzhou would carry forward the "outsourcing" situation.
"As for us, we will only take action when the main force is attacking or even when we are dealing with incoming enemies.
"Besides, we can practice cultivation or go to the city below to relieve our boredom. Although An Shachen is newly built, various entertainment facilities are indispensable..."
As the words faded away, Wei Zhong declined their invitation, found a place to live, and began to practice on his own.
Three days passed like this, and the vanguard returned and brought back various information.
The general distribution of the Gopher Demon Dragon, the strength of the group, and even the various minerals inside the mine...
All the information fell into the hands of a few people.
"Xu Gangyan, there is something like this in this cave?"
Wei Zhong didn't know much about it, but after asking, he found out that the purified Xie Gang Dijin was one of the raw materials for refining Kyushu heavy armor.
If the share is sufficient, the number of heavily armored troops in Kyushu can be increased even further.
"With the Xuangang Rock, there might be red gold sand inside..."
Wei Zhong was stunned by the words of several people;
‘Isn’t this the main material for refining the Wind Bead? ’
I heard from several people that the red golden sand inside might still be at the eighth level.
Wei Zhong's mood also fluctuated a bit.
After understanding all the information in it, several people looked at each other and nodded, all understanding that the mineral vein here must be captured.
Orders were issued one after another, and the martial arts teams in the city quickly gathered.
An Yuxuan waved her sleeves and threw out a large spiritual boat, the barrel of which stretched out, and the light flashed away.
‘The Seventh-Level Dharma Boat…’
A large number of monks landed on it simultaneously, and many flying shuttles followed on both sides, like a canoe guarding.
"We are waiting for this operation..."
An Yuxuan looked around at Wei Zhong and the others, and this was exactly what they were looking for.
Ding Tianyou rubbed his palms:
"The lower body method has the advantage over these beasts and cannot be absent."
Seeing that Hu Yingzhong seemed to be hesitant, Wei Zhong also raised his right hand. A ball of lightning appeared in the palm of his hand and said:
"It just so happens that I have made great achievements in the body method, and the poor Taoist here also follows your footsteps."
Seeing the thunder light dancing in Wei Zhong's hand, he looked a little surprised, and Ding Tianyou was even more happy:
"Okay, okay, it seems that the body method of fellow Taoist Jie is no less powerful than that of Pindao.
"After this mission is completed, you and I must learn from each other."
Seventh-level body refining is a rare commodity in Kyushu. On weekdays, in order to test what he has learned, Ding Tianyou can only look for those demonic dragons.
This is the first time that a monk who is physically comparable to him has been found among the human race.
Wei Zhong smiled awkwardly:
"That's natural!"
After a few exchanges, Hu Yingzhong was left to defend the city, and the other two, together with Wei Zhong, participated in the attack on the mine.
