On the busy construction site, Huo Yuhao, who had just finished measuring all the parameters of the sealed milk bottle experiment with Xuan Ziwen, had a popsicle in his mouth and watched the pieces of flying dust drift towards him.
As for why Huo Yuhao could find popsicles in this place that is almost no man's land except for a few times...
Of course, it's not just hand-rolled with Ultimate Ice. The result is a frozen popsicle with no sweetness at all.
Thanks to Miss Meng Hongchen, who heard from a certain unnamed Hongchen Hall Master that Huo Yuhao had not been back from his business trip for a few days and was about to go on a long trip for the friendly sponsorship.
Huo Yuhao brought over a box of popsicles. They were still the same ones from the last time he went to Star Luo City to compete. It was said that they were all handmade by a certain Popsicle Immortal who was famous in the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with Huo Yuhao, who clearly wanted to fight his way to the title Douluo in the beginning but was honest and clocked in everywhere, and Xiao Hongchen, who was studying in Shrek Academy and making friends, Meng Hongchen's trajectory is really nerdy. In addition to... When she went to Star Luo City to compete, Huo Yuhao almost never saw her outside Mingdu.
If the soul is verified to meet the technical maturity standard in the future, Huo Yuhao also wonders whether he can follow the relationship between the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor and take her to the far north to catch a Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad, which might be more suitable as the seventh soul ring. This fitness report is sure.
Such a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast must have a very high level of spiritual intelligence. Seeing a master with such a suitable compatibility, he would definitely be eager to fuse with it voluntarily...
If it was stubborn and unresponsive, it would obviously mean death. The kind-hearted Huo Yuhao could only ask the Second Emperor to take action so that it could voluntarily avoid misfortune in time.
Looking at the steel and iron frame that had been formed in just a few days, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think of an old friend.
It would be great if Xiao Hongchen was here too. With his ability to manipulate metal, the progress of the brothers on the construction site would definitely be greatly accelerated. Huo Yuhao wouldn't have to take advantage of his free time to supervise the work here with a popsicle in his mouth.
Hmm... The three-legged golden toad is a mythical beast. It is estimated that it cannot be found in Douluo Continent now. It is incomparable with the rare but not extinct Zhu-eyed Ice Toad. Is it possible that I have to say sorry again and give a wry smile? The mortal world?
Or there are other soul beasts that are suitable for him... I can't think of any in the Sun and Moon Empire for the time being, and I don't know if there is a suitable soul beast in the Star Dou Forest. When the soul cake is almost baked, I will ask the Hongchen Hall Master to smile. What arrangements does Hongchen have?
Although Huo Yuhao was a little bored while chewing popsicles and supervising the work after finishing the work at hand, the foreman and supervisor--Senior Orange looked quite happy. Even under the scorching sun, his tender skin was dripping with sweat, but he couldn't hide her. The excitement between his brows.
Although she is a reserve princess, this is the first time Miss Orange has directly commanded so many people - many of them are members of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group. Rounding off, the first time Ah Ju led troops was to lead the Evil King Soul Mentor Group. group!
The soul mentors of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group are indeed very busy. In addition to their role as the main battle soul mentor, they also have to take on various professions including but not limited to pilots, mechanics, and engineers...
Serving as the commander-in-chief of the construction site is one of Orange's tasks this time. Although Ah Ju has indeed worked very hard to learn soul mentors, his talent is indeed limited. In this life, he will probably be a level 6 soul mentor by himself. ——It may be a dream way out for ordinary people, but obviously, with their identities, Ah Ju and Xuan Ziwen cannot be satisfied with it.
Fortunately, Xuan Ziwen found that Orange seemed to have some interest and talent in "command", so he subcontracted one of his tasks to Orange. Now it seems that compared to a soul mentor, Orange is indeed here. Are you more talented?
Although his understanding of architecture is relatively limited, professionals take care of the underlying details. During his first practice, Orange managed the division of labor and processes of thousands of people on the entire construction site in an orderly manner, which really impressed Xuan Ziwen.
Now, Miss Orange, the commander-in-chief of the construction site and the commander of the temporary engineering corps, is standing next to a dirt bag under the scorching sun. Her face is rosy and excited. She seems to be more serious about studying soul guides than she usually is. She seems to have found the meaning of her life. .
"How about I use some connections to introduce Orange to the engineering team in Mingdu that is working on a big project? It would be good to give her some experience and find a way out that she likes more..."
Xuan Ziwen watched from a distance as Orange held a circled book in his hand, gesticulating around and issuing orders. He held his chin and muttered to himself, and at the same time walked towards Huo Yuhao, who was eating popsicles and watching the movie supervisor.
Patting the shoulder of Huo Yuhao, who was looking at Orange's profile and wondering what he was thinking, Xuan Ziwen urged:
"Hurry up and finish your popsicle, you have other work to do."
Huo Yuhao bit off the popsicle that had been half-held in his mouth and said vaguely: "Isn't the experiment on sealing the bottle finished? Why are you so anxious?"
Xuan Ziwen raised his eyebrows, looking like a lazy dog: "It's not like this trip only involves experiments on sealing milk bottles. There are many projects, and it's not like you don't know about them."
"And even after the experiment is finished, there is still other work to be done. The buildings at the construction site have not been capped yet. There is a shortage of people for all jobs. After the experiment, you have to go to the assigned work. Stop dawdling and eat your popsicle in one bite. Come over now."
"Wang Shaojie and Zimu are plastering and plastering, and Ke Ke is tying the steel bars. You... it should be almost complete by then. Please help paint the walls."
Huo Yuhao put the stick that would have sold for a lot of IQ tax premium in the morning into his mouth, put the wooden stick into the storage soul guide, and quickly followed Xuan Ziwen, who was also wearing a helmet.
The two climbed a hill with little slope for a while. This was a drill area separated from the audience area. According to the scheduled plan, the drill to be conducted here... no, the performance item was "bombing the city wall".
Although it is said to deter criminals within the Tianhun Empire, the construction project here is quite interesting - the relative altitude of this place compared to the auditorium is 80 meters, and according to the project arrangement and drawings, a 20-meter-long road is being built The tall city walls add up to a hundred meters.
The 100-meter-wide and 100-meter-high square city wall of Star Luo City is really a spectacle. The Sun Moon Empire’s head-scratching exercises couldn’t possibly have the time and resources to recreate such a spectacle, so they used a trick. .
The section of the 20-meter-high city wall is not a square, but a trapezoid with a narrow top and a wide bottom. Even if the requirements have been lowered in this way, it is impossible to build this temporary city wall completely in accordance with the standards of the Xingluo City Wall. The construction team's plan is to be in the middle Just fill it with some content to support it, put plywood on the outside and paint it to look like it. Anyway, it will be fun for the audience to see.
The arrangement at that time was for the Soul Engineer Group to set up an artillery position at the foot of the mountain and bombard the city wall with performance bombs that looked dazzling but had no power - to show whether the Sun and Moon Empire had set up ladders and directly hit the 100-meter-high city wall from the bottom. The ability at the top of the city.
As for why the flying soul mentors would shoot at the defenders at the foot of the city wall - Huo Yuhao was also curious. It seemed that similar magical operations occurred after the war in the original work.
Could it be that when soul-guided artillery shells are launched in the air, the human body cannot withstand the recoil of the shells, causing the ballistics to drift randomly and the shells to undergo Brownian motion?
The artillery couldn't help it, but at least the field of view and shooting range obtained by firing soul rays in the air were completely different from shooting on the ground with the city defenders.
Huo Yuhao didn't think much about this problem, because Xuan Ziwen finally took out the equipment for their secondary experiment-the bottom of this thing is a retractable tower base, and the top is covered by a translucent cylinder. , the modules of various internal components are faintly visible, and the entire soul guide looks similar to a telecommunications base station.
"This thing is a soul power detection soul guide?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Xuan Ziwen smiled and nodded: "It is indeed a soul power detection soul guide, but it is different from the common ones. It is the latest modification of Mingdetang, which increases the detection range and soul power detection sensitivity."
"Of course, the price is worthy of our improvement... It seems that the royal family only plans to install it around the royal family this time, and other places in Mingdu will continue to use the previous model."
Huo Yuhao took the soul guide parameter and instruction manual from Xuan Ziwen. When he saw the column "Improvements of this product compared to the previous generation", he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his eyes.
The soul power detection soul guide held by Teacher Xuan has a greatly expanded detection radius compared to the previous generation product. At the same time, it can detect soul power fluctuation levels that are only one-third of the lower sensing limit of the previous generation product, which makes the soul master The difficulty of lurking in quietly has been further raised to nightmare level.
At least the detection range of this generation of products is much larger than the range of Huo Yuhao's mental detection in a circular search for a comprehensive search. Although it cannot detect specific details, it is extremely sensitive to soul power fluctuations.
But this price...if Huo Yuhao remembers it correctly, it is nearly twenty times higher than the previous generation product.
"Why are they only replaced around the palace? Why not replace such a good product throughout Mingdu?"
Huo Yuhao complained softly: "This is a life-saving tool that can effectively detect assassins. Aren't the people in the royal family the most willing to spend money on things that can protect their own lives?"
Xuan Ziwen smiled and scolded: "Then they have to have money so they can be willing to spend it to upgrade the entire Mingdu. I'm afraid this money can be used to build another regular soul engineer group."
High-end soul power detecting soul guides are indeed a very expensive type of soul guide. In the original work, only Mingdu was willing to cover the entire city with soul power detecting soul guides. Other cities or soul guide groups could only use them at key points. The place is decorated sparingly.
Xuan Ziwen plugged a bottle into the power supply port of the base of the soul detection soul guide, and then pressed the start switch. The telescopic tower above the base quickly unfolded, and in the blink of an eye, the top detection module had been sent to nearly ten meters high.
Pulling out the display screen connected to the base, Xuan Ziwen showed it to Huo Yuhao: "Look, the small dots on it are the sources of soul power fluctuations. They are distinguished by different colors. The one with the highest threat here is me. Use pink to represent Eight Rings Contra.”
"Your task is to help me arrange these new soul power detection soul guides separately. These are samples ordered by the military on a trial basis. When the exercise starts, a large number of soul masters will be present, just in time to test the effect. By the way, provide them to the camp first. Protect from blind people sneaking in."
"Get it, there is a map inside, with the layout coordinates marked on it. Each soul detection soul guide has a matching level 6 milk bottle. The time requirement is tight, so you and I will arrange the layout separately."
With that said, Xuan Ziwen handed Huo Yuhao a storage soul guide, waved his hand and chased him away.
"I knew I wouldn't be able to take any time off..."
Huo Yuhao muttered softly and confirmed that the Three Northern Kings in the Sea of Spirits were playing cards to kill time. He took out the map from the storage soul guide, confirmed the current reference coordinates and began to bury the soul power detection soul guide.
And late at night, in a jungle quite far away from the construction site of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group, three men also unfolded the maps in their hands, each with a frown on their face, as if they were about to go to the execution ground.
"Boss, the military control zone of the Sun and Moon Empire is just ahead. There are probably troops stationed there now. Do we really want to go in?" A thin man bit his lip and asked.
The leader of the three people rubbed his temples, feeling that one was as big as the other two.
He didn't expect that he, a disciple of the Haotian Sect, whose identity was no worse than a student of Shrek Academy, would end up performing tasks here like a thief, fearing to attract unnecessary attention.
Although in order of importance and status, he is still considered an outer disciple... almost at the level of a fourth or fifth grader at Shrek Academy.
As a hidden sect, Haotian Sect does not completely prohibit members of the sect from going home to visit relatives, but they have to report to the sect every time they go down the mountain - the cliff where Haotian Sect is located cannot be entered and exited at will.
Needless to say, the status of the Haotian Sect is noble. It is respected throughout the continent. People like them usually devote themselves to cultivation in the sect and are too lazy to go down the mountain frequently. Anyway, the sect has everything they should have.
As a result, who knows what big thing happened in the past few days, the Haotian Sect, which has always been aloof and reclusive, suddenly issued a sect leader order - the second sect leader with a weak sense of presence drove people outside the mountain gate!
This was not because the Haotian Sect could no longer sustain itself and was about to collapse, but because it was rare that the Haotian Sect finally decided to mobilize the power of the sect to do something serious on the mainland.
These peripheral disciples were organized and assigned to groups of three to five people, and each group was given several "tree species."
According to the sect leader's order, they will be sent to various parts of the mainland to plant trees in designated areas.
According to the above remarks, it is said that the cultivation of the two sect leaders who can "reach heaven to listen" is so advanced that it is indescribable - after all, it seems that the Haotian Sect has not heard of a change of sect leaders in thousands of years.
These two sect masters who were cultivators of spiritual knowledge felt uneasy in their cultivation. After some calculations, they concluded that the energy of the Douluo Continent has been excessively exploited by the soul masters who have flourished in recent years. The original power of the continent There is a risk of shortfall.
In order to shoulder the burden of saving the mainland and the world, the Haotian Sect, which has been hidden for a long time, decided to project a little of its own power to the mainland - the "tree species" carried by these groups have the power from the unspeakable existence and can make up for the origin of the mainland. The shortage of power has helped Douluo Continent recover from human beings' excessive demands.
Although, no matter how you look at this "tree species", this "tree species" is very attractive... This tree species that is said to have the potential to reach the heavens and the earth turned out to be so ordinary in appearance that they looked at it for a long time before they realized-
Isn't this the Blue Silver Grass with extremely lush roots underneath?
According to the order of the sect leader, each of their groups was assigned several areas where tree species were to be buried. The Haotian Sect, which decided to fulfill its responsibility to save the world, included the still relatively unfamiliar continent of the Sun and Moon Empire in line with the fraternity of treating everyone equally. The planting range of "tree species".
Their group was assigned to a certain area in the northeast of the Sun and Moon Empire.
They were quite nervous going abroad for the first time, and at first they had doubts about how useful this seemingly ordinary tree species could be. However, the demonstration given by the elders of the sect at that time quickly dispelled their doubts.
Once this "tree species" that looks like bluesilver grass on the surface is planted in the ground and activated with a specific formula, it will soon expand its roots horizontally underground at a jaw-dropping speed, expanding its "moisture" scope".
What's even more amazing is that when the roots of two different "tree species" touch together, they will gradually become one, sharing their sensory capabilities and replenishing the source of the continent's deficit.
When the elder spent a lot of soul power and cooperated with the instructions passed down by the sect master to pull up the "tree seed" that had not been buried for a long time, the disciples who were about to perform the task cheered and had no doubts about their mission.
Such a magical plant is definitely not a species that can be born on its own in the Douluo Continent. The sect master is really powerful and can reach the heavens to listen. After all, the relationship between the Haotian Sect and that adult is obvious.
Shrek Academy and Haotian Sect have a means of contacting the divine world. This is also one of the enduring urban legends.
As for what happened to these "tree species"... As the people of the Haotian Sect thought, they were indeed "gods".
Since the last time Ming Dynasty Er Ming had a phone call with his third brother, a few days later he received a divine express delivery - Blue Silver Grass that had been exclusively modified by Sister Xiao Wu's God King husband.
Although the God King would not descend directly for such a trivial matter, it is still easy to throw something into the lower realm. After all, there are too many ways to exploit loopholes such as divine examinations.
Before ascending to the God Realm, during their honeymoon with Xiao Wu all over the world, the third brother used a similar method to spread the seeds of Bluesilver Grass all over the continent, acting as a "monitor".
Nowadays, times have changed, and some of the seeds from back then have become ineffective. The unforeseen impact of the Sun and Moon Continent and the mysterious barrier of the Star Dou Forest that automatically shields detection have always troubled the God King.
In order to correct the deficiencies and reflect the care of the Lord of the Realm for his people, not only Douluo Continent's "monitors" needed to be re-installed, but the Sun and Moon Empire also had to make arrangements. Around the Star Dou Forest, the Haotian Sect's leader ordered A bunch of "tree species" planting plans have been densely arranged, among which Shrek Academy is the focus.
Of course, the following statement is that Shrek and Star Dou Forest are the places that draw the most from the continent's origins and suffer the most serious losses, so they need to be taken care of.
As for the current three-person team, looking at the military restricted area just a stone's throw away from them on the map, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
The sects' planting plan included a plan to plant a "tree seed" into the restricted area ahead - damn it, when the map was drawn above, they probably only considered coverage by area and did not consider the actual difficulties of the disciples below at all.
There is a military restricted area ahead. Once they leave the protection of this jungle, they will be expelled lightly, for fear of being caught and thrown into prison.
This is the Sun and Moon Empire. If there is a home field that has three advantages and two disadvantages, it is not like the Heavenly Soul Empire. The sect can recruit people at will...
But why is it that the sect has a very tight deadline and is strictly ordered not to delay it? Is the mainland's original power really in such danger?
There was a battle between heaven and man in his mind, and the leading man gritted his teeth and said:
"When the sect planted the tree, it gave a few extra ones to prepare for emergencies... Now is the time when they are needed to work."
"However, the coverage of one seed is limited. If you want to complete the requirement of comprehensive coverage of this area, I am afraid that at least three tree species must be used to cover the three edges of the restricted area..."
After looking at his two companions, the leading man said solemnly:
"We just stay close to the restricted area but never enter! If the Sun and Moon Empire comes to drive people away, we will leave immediately and come back if we have the chance."
"If the brothers are unfortunately captured... I won't say more. The Haotian Sect must be proud of the Haotian Sect!"
The two companions nodded solemnly and said yes seriously.
At the border of the restricted area, the scheduled edge area for this exercise.
Huo Yuhao stretched out his foot and kicked the engineering shovel in the pit at his feet, buried the soul detection soul guide into the "foundation" he had just dug, and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"The last one is finally finished. I'm going to be exhausted if I keep pretending. I don't know what Teacher Xuan is up to. He's so pressed to install all the soul detecting soul guides in one day."
"I'm still digging a hole here in the middle of the night. Can spies come in and blow up the construction site a day later?"
Huo Yuhao sat down on the ground, cursed and pressed the start button of the soul detection soul guide. As the telescopic tower quickly rose with a "buzz", he pulled out the display screen, ready to see whether the dot representing himself was there. There is no normal display.
"Yuhao, don't panic. How does this compare to the difficulties you faced when you first went to find me?"
In the sea of spirits, the Ice Emperor looked at Huo Yuhao's tired appearance and comforted him.
Brother Tianmeng pinched the corners of his pajamas and looked like "Why don't Bingbing care about me?"
Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and said, "Then we can't be so tired every day. Even an Iron Man can't hold on... huh? What the hell?"
On the display screen that had just been turned on and started to operate, in addition to the dot representing Huo Yuhao himself, there were also three other dots that were slowly approaching!
Judging from their movement trajectory, it was obvious that they were sneaking towards the military restricted area.
What made Huo Yuhao's breath hitch was that judging from the colors of these three dots, they clearly represented the fluctuations in soul power of one soul emperor level and two soul king levels!
The alarm bells rang loudly in the sea of spirits, and Tianmeng Iceworm nervously muttered: "What to do, what to do, this is absolutely unbeatable... Do you want Yuhao to detonate a life-saving shell?"
The Ice Emperor had a cold face and said nothing, but silently squeezed his shoulders.
After watching the game in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea for several years, she has been itching for a long time and is ready to play online.
"Bing'er, calm down, Yuhao's body may not be able to withstand the short-term surge in strength that you have injected into your origin!"
The Snow Emperor quickly grabbed the Ice Emperor's hand that was about to move. With Huo Yuhao's four-ring strength, he had to fight to escape with these three uninvited guests whose purpose was obviously a mystery. Even if the Ice Emperor possessed the upper body, it would still take three people to store it. Only the original power can be used with great medicine.
"Ahem, I'm not even afraid. Don't panic. Whether they notice me or not is a question. How could I just happen to meet three owls in the middle of the night?"
Huo Yuhao imitated his own image in the spiritual sea, and comforted Brother Tianmeng who was in trouble without fighting.
"If you encounter bad guys in the wild, of course... call the police first!"
"If someone can shake it, who will rush up and deliver the food on their own!"
Under the telescopic tower, Huo Yuhao activated his simulated soul skill and instantly blended into the late night environment.
The next moment, Huo Yuhao took out a signal gun, pointed it vertically at the sky and pulled the trigger.
There was a "bang" roar in the night sky, and the emergency signal flare that almost illuminated the entire area like daylight burned and exploded.
