More than ten days later, Zhang Changkong walked into the castle hall.
"You're saying that water cockroaches have survived in the city's sewers and there's no way to clean them out?"
Zhang Changkong asked Liu Hong in front of him.
"Yes, Master Immortal, we don't care much about this kind of bug, but it can transmit diseases. Many people in Black Bee City have already suffered from the disease. Due to lack of medicine, hundreds of people have died. "Liu Hong said seriously, "If it is not controlled, more people may die."
"There are so many medicinal herbs in the rainforest, but you don't know how to use them?"
"This is why I came to see Master Immortal, because there are many medicinal herbs in the depths of the rain forest that the pharmacists have never seen before. The experiment is dangerous, but some patients cannot survive without medicine, so."
A dead horse becomes a living horse doctor, and he can even test the medicinal properties of some herbal medicines. Just pray whether it is medicine or poison. More people may die in the hands of those pharmacists through this experiment.
"It's okay to test herbs, but it requires other people's willingness." Zhang Changkong had no choice. Although he couldn't stand this kind of experiment with life, he couldn't deprive the patient of the only hope of survival.
In order to stabilize Black Bee City, Zhang Changkong let some of his men crawl into the city sewers to eliminate water cockroaches. It was just that the bigger water cockroaches were fine, but the smaller ones were always inexhaustible. After a few times, Zhang Changkong had no choice but to give up. .
"Go to the wild and pay attention. If you encounter spiders, centipedes and other insects, or mice and other small animals, you can capture them and put them in the sewers so that these things can deal with water cockroaches." Zhang Changkong said to Liu Hong. The harm is the lesser. Those bugs and mice may become a nuisance in the sewer, but compared with the reduction of water cockroaches carrying germs, these are within the tolerance range.
Liu Hong nodded. He also knew that the water cockroaches in the sewers were basically impossible to eliminate. This kind of bugs reproduced too fast.
"By the way, how was the drug trial?"
Zhang Changkong asked.
"Many drugs here are either poisonous or have ineffective effects alone, and are still being tested," Liu Hong replied.
Zhang Changkong and Liu Hong were walking on the main road of Black Bee City. Zhang Changkong had a thin transparent stone film outside his body to block the rain, while Liu Hong held up an umbrella made of branches and leaves.
"By the way, what are they doing?"
Zhang Changkong saw many people digging big holes in the city in the rain, and some people were carrying stones.
"They are digging fish ponds. Now that there are heavy rains and food cannot be grown, some people have started raising fish," Liu Hong said. "Not only raising fish, some people also go to the wild to capture animals to raise."
Zhang Changkong watched many people coming and going in the rain, each doing their own thing. After such a long time, Black Bee City has stabilized. There is no shortage of food, but there is still some shortage of fuel.
"During the rain, are there any special bugs and beasts?" Zhang Changkong asked. Usually the rain forest is dominated by bugs. Now during heavy rains, many wild beasts have emerged. Zhang Changkong has never been to the wild after settling down in Black Bee City. , he drew the conclusion from the food in the castle, because during this time, more and more beast meat became the ingredients of the castle.
"We have seen a lot of bugs, but in the rain, the bugs are less aggressive. Unless we encounter them head-on, bugs generally won't attack our hunting team. As for wild beasts, there are very few large beasts on land, but Large monsters frequently appear in some large rivers, and we don’t even dare to fish in large rivers now.”
"Water monster?"
Zhang Changkong is a little curious. He has seen a lot of bugs and beasts on the ground, but he has not seen many strange creatures in the water. After all, there are not as many bugs living underwater as there are on the shore. There must be many creatures living underwater in the Sanhe Rainforest. For a long time, now the river water is swollen, which is when they are active.
Although Zhang Changkong wants to get one or two water monsters for a taste, who knows if any of these water monsters are powerful. If they have the blood of ferocious beasts, it's okay, but he is afraid that if he encounters ferocious beasts, he will overturn the boat just for some food. There wasn't even time to regret.
Zhang Changkong looked around Black Bee City again. Although there were many people, it was still very desolate overall.
Since Black Bee City is built on a mountain as a whole, and the ground of the entire city is sloping, even if it rains heavily for a long time, Black Bee City will not turn into a water city at all.
Zhang Changkong was very satisfied. If Black Bee City could keep a foothold in the Sanhe Rainforest, then someone would guard the Vitality Stone veins for him, so that he would not get the news when the Vitality Stone veins were eaten up by some insects.
The Vitality Stone vein may not be a big deal to Xiang Shanzong, but even a small or even micro-mine vein is still a great wealth for Zhang Changkong, enough for his men to dig for decades, even if others are not around at that time Three Rivers Rainforest, but there are also people watching this vein for him.
Soon, Zhang Changkong returned to the castle.
In the training room, Zhang Changkong "looked" at the fifty mana powers in the Qi Mansion and was a little dissatisfied.
He used to practice very diligently, but after getting the Vitality Stone, he relaxed a little. The practice time was always reduced a lot due to various things, resulting in the practice progress not achieving the expected results.
"Fifty mana. Now I didn't expect that it would be much more difficult to condense each mana. When I had more than forty mana, I used the vitality stone to practice. I could condense one mana in two months. Now I have fifty-one mana. , I’m afraid it won’t take three months. The late stage of a warlock is the last time that the magic power undergoes a small transformation before the mage realm. I didn’t expect that the magic power needs to be refined to such an extent.”
Zhang Changkong has never had any teachers or friends to communicate with. He relies on the "Secret Records of the Stone Heart" and the knowledge taught by the Xiangshan Religion before practicing. In many places, he sticks to the rules. He has practiced to the standards that the magic power in "The Secret Records of the Stone Heart" needs to reach. That standard, I don’t know any tricks or shortcuts, it’s all textbook practice.
"With this level of pure mana, if someone doesn't have a vitality stone, a talent like me, or pills, can they really reach the limit of the mid-stage warlock?"
Zhang Changkong somewhat understands why many people in the Xiangshan Sect will never be able to touch the late stage of the Warlock even if they die. There is no such thing as a master and an apprentice in the Xiangshan Sect. Basically, those in the Mage realm are at the peak master level. The Warlocks are all He is a disciple. Due to the rare qualifications for cultivating immortals, basically no two cultivators in the Xiangshan Sect are related. Most people practice on their own. Unless they get the attention of the senior officials of the Xiangshan Sect and possibly get some support, many cultivators will Both of them are like Zhang Changkong, who has very little support from the sect. If he doesn't work hard, he might just be like the two people like Gale Wind Bone Refining. They spent decades wandering around in the early stage of warlocks, and were sent to the frontiers when they got old. rest of life.
"I don't know if other sects have this model. With the Xiangshan Sect's training method, it's no wonder that it's hard for someone to be promoted to a mage." Zhang Changkong thought for a while, "Maybe there are some people in the sect who have become seed players. After observing their performance for a period of time, If you are outstanding, you will be in the eyes of the senior management. If I were not assigned and there was a seed list, I would most likely be on it."
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to get the magical black stone, and thus have the powerful external force of insects, and now I have found the vitality stone vein, even if I could persist until the late stage of the warlock, I would still be able to practice to the level of the mage in this resourceless Sanhe Rainforest. "It's slim." Zhang Changkong was a little lucky. He had underestimated the difficulty of cultivation before. Although he knew that the further you go, the harder it would be to practice, but the difficulty was still far beyond his expectation.
"Huh, what are the four elements of cultivation, the land of wealth and Dharma couple? I, Zhang Changkong, have no friends, and I do not have a blessed land of cultivation. I only have wealth and Dharma, and I can still improve steadily. So, qualifications are the king, and the others are just auxiliary. I am so talented. "Gao, what more teachers and friends do you need? Just find a place and make a nest, and you will naturally be able to practice to the level that others can only hope for." Although there are many difficulties in practicing, Zhang Changkong is not discouraged at all. He decided that as long as there is no big problem, He has been cultivating in Black Bee City for thirty or forty years, and he will not even go back to Heavy Rain City. He doesn't believe that ninety-nine percent of his sweat and one percent of his vital talent are still there. Problems can stump him.
Xiangshan Sect, Wanzhu Peak, a main hall.
Several people sat together, the atmosphere was somewhat silent, but Cheng Lianyue was present.
These people are the real powerful figures in the Xiangshan Sect below the Peak Master. In addition to the three late-stage warlocks, there are five other senior middle-stage warlocks.
"Everyone, how should we allocate manpower according to the Peak Master's order?" an old man with a gray beard but a rosy complexion said.
This old man's name is Guan Lu, he is eighty or ninety years old, and he is the most powerful among the three late-stage warlocks of Wanzhu Peak.
"Senior Brother Guan, at least half of our people in Wanzhu Peak listen to you. You also control most of Wanzhu Peak's resources. I won't fight with you this time. Junior Brother, I don't have many people under my command." He said with a face The old man with a black mole on his forehead chuckled and said.
This person is the last sorcerer and late cultivator named Peng Yuyan.
The others didn't say anything. Guan Lu was old and didn't have a few more years to live. They were all a little cautious. There was nothing they could do about it. Guan Lu controlled a lot of Wanzhu Peak's income. Apart from the peak owner, he was the only one. Got the most.
Each mountain peak of Xiangshan Sect is relatively independent, dividing the territory of Xiangshan Sect into pieces and managing them separately.
"Lao Peng, there is no need to say anything unnecessary. Most of us here are going to the Dusk Desert this time. Something unexpected happened in the Dusk Desert. Whether we can survive or not is a matter of debate. What's the use of fighting now?"
Guan Lu smiled lightly and spoke.
Everyone else was speechless. Although they were now the leaders of each team in Wanzhu Peak, if they couldn't come back, what would be the use of fighting for more benefits for the team?
So, after Guan Lu said this, their discussion got down to business.
