Chapter 343: Making a Determined Effort, Shi Songtao (2)
The only more troublesome thing was to fix the star paths. This step was the easiest for Zhou Shu, who had divine sense.
In addition, with the help of the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, he only needed three to four days to forge a Cosmic Bangle.
This made sense to Zhou Shu, but to Shi Songtao, he felt that his worldview had been overturned.
He was in a daze. He even felt that Zhou Shu wasn’t forging a Cosmic Bangle but a standard weapon…
Who could forge a ranked weapon so quickly?
!!
Forging a ranked weapon in three to four days was simply unheard of!
Was that even humanly possible?
Shi Songtao slumped to the floor. He felt like he had nothing left to live for.
“Deputy Pavilion Master, you have to work harder.” Zhou Shu patted Shi Songtao’s shoulder and felt that he couldn’t force him anymore. If he continued, the child would go crazy.
“I think the reason you can’t master the forging method of the Cosmic Bangle isn’t because your forging talent is too poor but because your Martial Dao strength is insufficient.
“If your Martial Dao strength is higher, your control of power will be more meticulous. This might help.
“As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. You have to increase your Martial Dao strength first, then come back and forge the Cosmic Bangle. Who knows. You might just succeed.”
Zhou Shu flipped his wrist, and a few Essence Cleansing Pills appeared in his hand.
“Go back to your room and take these pills.”
Zhou Shu stuffed the Essence Cleansing Pills into Shi Songtao’s hand and chased him out of the forging room.
Shi Songtao stood outside the forging room, holding a few Essence Cleansing Pills. He wanted to cry but had no tears. Am I being despised?
Will the pavilion master remove me from my position as the deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion?
No!
I, Shi Songtao, can’t be so embarra.s.sing!
Shi Songtao gritted his teeth, and a determined look appeared in his eyes. I must become stronger quickly!
The t.i.tle of the deputy pavilion master must only belong to me!
Shi Songtao’s gaze fell on the pills in his hand.
When Mei Wushang and the others had left the camp to look for the Great Xia army, Shi Songtao had given them Breakthrough Pills.
Although Shi Songtao didn’t know the specific effects of the Breakthrough Pill, he knew that it could increase a person’s cultivation.
Now that the pavilion master had given him these pills, it was obvious what the effects of these pills were.
Shi Songtao’s expression was ferocious. Consuming medicinal pills to increase one’s cultivation definitely had repercussions. Back then, Zhou Shu had also told Mei Wushang and the others that they could only swallow the medicinal pills if they were in a critical situation.
However…
I can’t worry about that much anymore!
Shi Songtao gritted his teeth. In any case, my ambition is not in the Martial Dao. Even if there are some future troubles, it doesn’t matter if my Martial Dao improvement is affected in the future!
He raised his hand and stuffed the Essence Cleansing Pills into his mouth.
The Essence Cleansing Pills melted in his mouth, and a stream of heat exploded in his stomach.
He felt his insides churn as an uncontrollable feeling gushed out.
“I—” Shi Songtao’s eyes bulged and widened.
The stench hit him, and Shi Songtao almost fainted.
The expression on his face became one of horror and shame.
He looked around. Fortunately, no one was here!
Without hesitation, Shi Songtao ran as fast as he could toward the nearest outhouse!
In the forging room, Zhou Shu smelled a stench coming from outside the door. He frowned in thought. Did Shi Songtao take the Essence Cleansing Pills at the door?
Seriously, he had driven him back because he was afraid of this smell!
Zhou Shu didn’t know that Shi Songtao had swallowed a few Essence Cleansing Pills at once. If he knew, he would definitely give him a thumbs up and praise him for being so brave!
Essence Cleansing Pills had the effect of cleansing the body’s impurities. The side effects were diarrhea…
Shi Songtao swallowed several Essence Cleansing Pills at once. The effect of diarrhea…
Zhou Shu shook his head. He didn’t want to stay in this smelly forging room anymore.
He walked out with the newly forged Cosmic Bangles.
Mi Ziwen had already returned to the camp. When he saw Zhou Shu, he immediately said, “Second Brother, the frequency of demonic beasts appearing around the camp is increasing, and so are their numbers.
“Our location has been exposed. The Demon Realm army will come in force sooner or later.”
He looked worried.
Recently, he had been leading troops to fight outside. First, it was to ensure the safety of the camp. Second, it was also to prepare for training.
Currently, there were already 500 soldiers wearing Dark Cloud Armor in the camp.
Although it hadn’t reached the 1,000 that Zhou Shu had mentioned back then, it was still a considerable force.
Unfortunately, the strength of the Demon Realm army was too strong. These 500 soldiers in Dark Cloud Armor were nothing in comparison.
If the Demon Realm army really came on a large scale, Mi Ziwen wasn’t confident that these people alone could defend the camp.
In his opinion, the best way was to fight against the Demon Realm army with Meng Bai’s army.
But Meng Bai’s army was surrounded by the Demon Realm army. Mi Ziwen had tried many times, but he couldn’t open a breach in the encirclement of the Demon Realm.
Once, he was almost targeted by a first-rank martial artist from the Demon Realm.
Therefore, he could only place his hopes on Zhou Shu.
Perhaps only Zhou Shu could solve this problem.
“What will come will come.” Zhou Shu sighed. “How is the great general doing?”
“It’s still a stalemate.” Mi Ziwen also sighed. “The Demon Realm army seems to be waiting for something. They haven’t launched a full-scale attack.
“The great general is still holding on, but they’re not doing too well either.”
Mi Ziwen said worriedly, “If this continues, the army will run out of supplies sooner or later. I’m afraid they won’t last long.”
“The matter of the military supplies settled.” Zhou Shu raised the Cosmic Bangles in his hand. “I’ll go send some military supplies to the great general later.”
There were many wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains. Zhou Shu and the others had never been worried that they would run out of food.
“Big Brother, how likely do you think the army led by the great general will be able to break through the encirclement of the Demon Realm army?” Zhou Shu asked.
He felt that there weren’t enough people in the camp. If Meng Bai’s army came over, the camp would truly grow.
At that time, he could rest easy and wait for his workers to bring him rewards.
What could be happier than that?
Mi Ziwen’s expression was a little ugly. He pondered and said, “Based on my current observation, the number of demonic beasts besieging the army is ten times that of our Great Xia army. Moreover, there are many experts in the demonic beast army. It’s already very difficult for the great general’s army to hold on.
“Under normal circ.u.mstances, they’ll probably suffer heavy casualties if they try to break out.”
Heavy casualties?
Zhou Shu shook his head, unable to accept this. There would be heavy casualties. How could he accept this?
Those were all his workers. How could they die so easily at the hands of demonic beasts?
“They can’t escape on their own, so we’ll have to go get them out,” Zhou Shu said.
“We’re not strong enough…” Mi Ziwen said. “Unless you can block more than a dozen first-rank martial arts demonic beasts at the same time—”
“Only a dozen?” Zhou Shu knew that among the demonic beasts that had come into this world, there were hundreds of first-rank martial artists.
Only a dozen? Mi Ziwen’s face darkened. What do you mean?
Those are first-rank martial artists!
It was precisely because there were more than a dozen first-rank experts that Meng Bai’s army was trapped.
It was because of them that Meng-Bai’s army had so little chance of breaking through.
“Big Brother, if I can stop those dozen first-rank martial artists, how long will it take you to save the great general and his arm?” Zhou Shu asked seriously.
