The carriage swayed and headed toward the wild.
Halfway through the journey, there was no way to go. Those members of the Demon Cult who pretended to be gentry and landlords picked up the foreign businessmen and Kunlun slaves and continued to move forward.
After spending a whole day in this way, when the color was about to turn dark, everyone finally came to a ruined temple halfway.
"Why are you here so late? We are all here waiting for you."
"It's just that you haven't seen this poor place in the barren mountains and ridges. There is nothing?"
A group of people were guarding here, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a big belly and big ears. He was mumbling and had a look of displeasure on his face.
Li Fan glanced at the top of his head and immediately recognized the other person's identity.
"Alien"
This is the name of a typical heir of a scholar who has a family of farming and studying. It is said that this person was once a child of a gentry family. Because he failed in the imperial examination for many years, he felt that he was too embarrassed to face his parents and fellow villagers, so he ran away from home.
In an unexpected encounter, he accidentally obtained a strange treasure and became a strange person.
From then on, his thoughts were filled with following the people in the Demon Cult to rebel and welcoming his mother into the world.
As its name suggests, the Cult of Inner Demons is very capable of beguiling people's hearts. They make bets on scholars and they make them loyal believers.
"This person seems to be the 'blacksmith' Gao Zhi among the great protectors of the Demon Cult. The rare treasures he possesses are a piece of iron felt and a forging hammer that can be used to forge weapons...
But among the two, the former was the treasure he unexpectedly obtained, while the latter was given by the high-level officials of the Demon Cult.
He has a very good compatibility with these two rare treasures. They seem to be able to match each other and have the ability to forge exotic treasure weapons! "
"Is there such a thing? Exotic weapons are precious items, and even the imperial court rarely owns them."
Yang Ju was a little surprised when she heard Li Bin's low voice.
Back then, she helped Li Chong get the Tang Hengdao, an exotic treasure, but it took a lot of effort.
"It's not surprising that they are exotic weapons, but in essence, they are derivatives containing strange characteristics. It should be that the iron weapons have been changed by strange power, giving them properties that transcend ordinary things."
Because of this special ability, the people of Zhenmo Division had paid close attention to it, so Li Ao also knew something about it.
"Well, the firearms made by the Gangtang people can also be regarded as this kind of special weapons.
Get up, what you asked that Huang Ying to draw is truly a rare treasure. "
While talking, the people in the Demon Cult had already made a handover.
The demon cultivators responsible for escorting the meat tickets were not strangers, so they were in awe of these high-ranking guardians. With a sneer, they stepped forward to apologize.
After Gao Zhou complained for a while, he did not embarrass them. He lowered his head and discussed with the chief, and then asked his subordinates to take everyone to separate detention centers.
"What's going on? Do you want to rest here for the night before continuing on your way?"
Li Chuan looked at it and felt something was wrong.
"This doesn't make sense. They are all pawns who are ready to be sent to die in the Strange Realm. It doesn't take much trouble to travel overnight.
In one day's effort, we traveled more than a hundred miles and arrived in no time. "
"Maybe there's something else."
Yang Ju also felt that this didn't make sense, so she could only guess like this.
As a result, after Gao Zhi and those responsible for escorting people made fires, cooked meals, and had enough to eat and drink, they understood what these people wanted to do.
Li Chuan pretended to be an ordinary businessman and was detained aside, pretending to be asleep.
Suddenly I heard movement in the dilapidated house next door.
He opened his eyes, and the strange power was secretly activated. He looked around the wall and saw the scene nearby.
I saw Gao Ju and others arriving in front of a group of people, casually reaching out to count the zeros, and then walked out with the three people.
There was also a foreign businessman who said something in a foreign language that he couldn't understand.
Gao Li dug out his earwax and said impatiently, "What a chirping bird. Take this one out too."
"Sir, we can...ransom..."
Half-baked words were heard, but the three people were still taken out.
Soon after, they came to a place behind the ruined temple.
Li Fan was surprised to find that a simple blacksmith shop had been built here.
The blast furnace stood tall, the water tank was placed horizontally, and a few shirtless men stepped on the bellows in front of the red flames to start the fire.
He held up the people and tied the three foreign businessmen to nearby pillars, and then began to jingle the iron.
The whole process is just like an ordinary knife forging, which is really lackluster.
But what made Li Fan wary was that he used the rare treasure he had.
"Exotic treasure"
…
"Exotic treasure"
…
Due to the obstruction of the figures and the fact that Gao Zhou did not actually use the abilities of these two rare treasures, not much weird aura leaked out, he was unable to distinguish the specific functions of these two rare treasures for a while.
But as the knife embryo takes shape, a stream of power is injected into it along the hammer, and its true effect begins to appear.
"No wonder they are a set of strange puzzle pieces. They need to be in the hands of the same person to be of real use. It turns out that they can give life and soul to the forged artifacts!"
This is indeed no ordinary forging!
Li Fan looked at the person tied there and suddenly understood.
"Could it be that the price is a life sacrifice?
They want to bring so many meat tickets, not to send the missing stones inside to explore the way, but to use them to forge these things? "
When he lowered his head to tell Yang Ju who was hiding in his arms what he had discovered, Yang Ju couldn't help curling his lips and frowning: "Isn't that an unnecessary step?"
"No, it shouldn't be unnecessary. I always feel that there is a profound meaning in doing this..."
Li Fan guessed.
"Think about it, previously known information said that the Underworld City was extremely dangerous, and many people died while exploring it. It might be some kind of unpredictable evil that requires human lives to resist...
They must have sent ordinary people in, only to find that it was a waste of lives and had no effect.
If there is a way to entrust these lives and souls on some kind of artifact, and then carry it with an expert, the true usefulness of the expert can be brought out, and the efficiency of exploration can be greatly improved!
They want to make use of the value of these lives and give the masters in the teachings the ability to truly explore them! "
"Huh? In that case, it seems to make some sense..."
Yang Jie was startled for a moment and had to admit it.
Li Fan continued to investigate with his true-seeing eyes.
After Gaozu forged a knife, he inserted it directly into the body of a human or animal, and quenched it with flesh and blood amidst the screams of the opponent!
A strange power is transferred from the body, and the sword is completed!
