Chapter 941: Northern Expedition to the Demon Realm (Part 2)
After collecting the bodies of their comrades, the worshipers with the army took out a black-yellow spiritual stone, lit a letter and worshiped it for three rounds, and then threw it to the ground.
This is the weapon refining method that You Longzi presented before. It allows cultivators to join the imperial weapon refining department to extract some human dragon energy and blend it into the spirit stone essence. After activation, it can be used to pull the local Xuanhuang Sky Net's disposable magic weapon.
The spirit stone melts when it meets the earth, and then shoots a beam of light entwined with the shadow of a dragon from the ground to the sky. Accompanied by a clear dragon chant, the spell inside the crystal stone is activated, and the earth's energy, the dragon's energy, the will of heaven, and the heaven and earth The power of the three talents gathered here, and the projection of the demon-suppressing pile in the city emerged in the dark yellow light. The power of the array began to spread, and wherever it passed, the corpses of demons and monsters gradually decomposed.
After all, it is only a one-time magic weapon. The power of the Xuanhuang Skynet that can be mobilized is not turbulent, and it cannot refine all the evil remains in one fell swoop. However, the victory lies in the endless supply. As long as the formation power transmitted in the city does not disperse, it can continue until it is cleared. The battlefield is for it.
As short as an hour, as long as a whole day, what is left on this battlefield will be magic crystals containing magic, pieces of elastic flesh and blood essence, as well as scattered bones, horns, claws, scales, fur and other hard materials. To parts that are difficult to decompose or contain a large amount of magic essence.
The essence of flesh and blood can be used to feed and tame monsters or refine elixirs. Bones, horns, claws, scales, fur and other parts can also be used to refine weapons and magic weapons. The human world has been plunged into demonic disasters and wars for many years, and various military supplies and supplies have been consumed. It is extremely difficult to rely on the various sects or the imperial court to raise their own funds, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also affects the combat effectiveness of the practitioners.
Therefore, in order to cope with the increasingly fierce wars and harsh outdoor environment, with the tacit approval of the court and the spread of various sects, various not-so-profound extraordinary skills have long been widely spread among the people.
Non-governmental organizations that have continued to this day, such as major chambers of commerce and guilds, have basically mastered many methods of utilizing monster materials, and the court and various sects will also sell materials and purchase finished products to various private organizations for a long time.
In short, these are good things that both the court and the private sector will purchase for a long time and are in short supply. These materials left over after purification will also become military expenditures and material reserves for the army after being collected, sold and processed.
It's just that in the past, the collection and purification of these trophies often required a lot of steps and time, and even the quality of them was reduced because the time was delayed for too long. But now with the refining of the Demon-Suppressing Piles, these processes have been greatly accelerated. .
It can be said that the existence of the demon-suppressing stakes has improved the efficiency of loot recovery, turning the originally expensive military expedition into an operation that can break even and can be sustained for a long time.
In the absence of a crushing combat power gap, the battle is all about logistics. It was precisely because the demon army was restrained by the evil god of the universe that it could not send out demon-level combat forces to fight, so I arranged for You Longzi to sacrifice his life. The method of refining the demon-suppressing pile allows the human army to support war with war and launch a counterattack against the demonic forces.
This scene not only happened outside Zhangye City, but also happened everywhere on the border of the Song Dynasty. Without the support of the "regular army" of demon demons, the various wilderness demons and evil demon groups are basically unable to fight against the organized elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty - not every border can gather as many wilderness demon commanders as Zhangye City, or even I couldn't help but take action.
As an indigenous version of the demon lord, the Demon Lord of the Wilderness is not as powerful as the demon lord of the demon world because he has not been directly baptized by the will of the abyss, but it does not appear casually - thousands of demons, devils, monsters, The fierce fighting between humans takes many years to kill one like a poison.
Rather, there are no such rare and powerful wild demons outside most cities. Only a group of demons in the wilderness led by demons can get the secret support of the demon army and become a major scourge to the local area.
But this time the elite army of the Song Dynasty went out to fight with all their strength. The rabble composed of wilderness demons and monsters could not even stop a charge, and were scattered and surrounded. The high-level monsters and demons among them were also killed by the army's worshipers and extraordinary warriors. . Only those groups of demons in the wilderness who are led by demons can still resist and refuse to escape.
But when the backbone of the various sects took action, especially after the You Longzi who had purified the pollution and returned from the "Dayan Naxu Pure Sky" joined in, these wilderness demon commanders were defeated and expelled one after another, and some were too slow to escape. , and were even suppressed and killed on the spot.
Under various advantageous conditions, the armies of the Song Dynasty in various places achieved fruitful results and advanced rapidly. If it were not for the insufficient number of "Demon Suppression Stake" and their main use to suppress the border areas, the surrounding towns within the territory of the Song Dynasty would probably be can all be purified.
Yumen Pass was the frontline of the battle against the Demon Realm on the northwest frontier of the Song Dynasty. It was also the most important, densely populated, and most powerful fortress city on the frontier. Because it is connected to the junction of the Central Plains and the Great Wall, in the past, business travel was intensive and tax revenue was abundant. The local earth veins and human dragon energy were more closely integrated, and the effect of setting up a city protection formation was also stronger.
Therefore, even though the Western Region was in decline and trade routes were blocked due to the establishment of the Northwest Demonic Territory, the Song Dynasty court did not abandon its garrison here. Instead, it strengthened it. After many years of construction, Yumen Pass also became a barrier for the border states to fight against the demons. Nailed to death in front of the Demon Realm, guarding the people behind.
Today, when the human forces launch a counterattack, Yumen Pass has become the last area for the army to rest and prepare for war before entering the demonic realm.
In the sky above Yumen Pass, Yun Canghai transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form, hiding in the clouds, overlooking the earth from an altitude of 10,000 meters. At this moment, he no longer concealed his dragon bloodline, but instead manifested his dragon body in order to maximize his natural abilities.
The Sun and Moon Dragon Boy, as bright as gold and silver, appeared in his eyes. Even though he was thousands of meters away, he could clearly see everything on the ground. With the unique perspective of the Dragon Clan, the Sun and Moon Dragon Boy appeared in his eyes. Not only its physical appearance, but also its inner attributes and luck.
From You Longzi's perspective, every kilometer from Yumen Pass to the west contains a high concentration of abyss magic, which becomes more concentrated as you go west, but it is all blocked by the surrounding earth veins and human dragon energy with Yumen Pass as the core. The suppressed and refined energy is continuously transformed into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and ordinary elemental magic power.
This is also one of the reasons why the concentration of aura and magic power in the human world is getting higher and higher. The terrain is vast and virtuous. The earth can carry and absorb everything and nourish all things it nurtures. The way of human beings can only be sacrificed, and the gathering of human dragon energy can also gradually change the originally bad feng shui of the surrounding areas, making it more conducive to human survival. It is said that outstanding people and the spirit of the land are inherent.
After all, the magic power of the abyss is also a kind of energy. As long as it does not exceed the endurance and transformation limits of the earth veins and human dragon energy, it will also be regarded as an external resource. What Xuanhuang Skynet can do, the earth veins and human dragon energy can also do. It's just that the efficiency is different.
