Chapter 55
Zhang Cheng turned his head involuntarily, not to see this cruel scene.He knew very well that if he did something contrary to indigenous values, it would easily arouse suspicion.And his identity as a traverser is actually not able to withstand investigation at all.This world is definitely a high-magic world, and it seems that the strong among the natives can easily judge the identity of the "inhuman".

And then again, it's bad for the lizardmen to be captives, but when humans fall into the hands of the lizardmen, the fate will never be better.If nothing else, just look at the razor-sharp teeth of these humanoid lizards, and you'll know they're not vegetarians.

"Strange..." said the little bear. "There's something weird about this place."

Zhang Cheng jumped out of the car and took the initiative to walk into the cave.This move was seen as the commander's own inspection of the battlefield, so it did not attract any special attention.Several soldiers also took the initiative to follow behind him, making a gesture of protecting the commander.

Zhang Cheng almost instinctively gave himself an "arcane vision".This magic is absolutely essential when looting loot.The manufacturing process of this world obviously does not pay attention to fineness and beauty, and many magic items are made the same as the Paleolithic.

Although the environment in the cave was unfamiliar, it barely matched the game map in his mind.However, this thing is not seen in the game.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng saw a stone sculpture similar to a turtle in the center of the front.On the back of the stone sculpture, a sword is inserted.

This is not a real thing, but an illusory sword.The sword glowed faintly in arcane vision, exuding an indescribable sense of danger.But at the same time, the sword itself is very unreal, and the blade is almost floating, making people suspect that it will dissipate into nothingness in the next second.

Without Arcane Vision it is estimated that this sword cannot be seen.Because of such an obvious thing, the surrounding human soldiers came and went, but no one even took a single glance.

"Zhang Cheng..." Little Bear let out a barely audible exclamation in his mind. "It turned out to be this thing..."

"what is this?"

"Why am I now that they can set up such a targeted barrier without my body noticing it. It turns out that... No wonder... borrowing the power of this kind of thing."

"what is this?"

"Qinglu." Little Bear replied. "Have not heard?"

Zhang Cheng had to express that he was an alien and was really not familiar with the things in this world.This thing is obviously not an ordinary magic item.

"Many years ago, King Wu attacked Zhou," said the little bear. "Everyone thought he was sending his death. Because the Shang Dynasty was sheltered by a great spirit called the Emperor Spirit. Those Yin people did go too far, but they also succeeded in killing every king and ancestor spirit who died. They've been upgraded to Daling. And they have a bigger plan, which is..." Little Bear paused. "Whimsical, arrogant and ignorant, greedy and murderous plan."

"What do they want to do?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking.

"Fengshen," said the little bear. "It's not that I honestly create a priesthood, but I hope to ascend to the sky in one step, and upgrade the dozens of ancestor spirits of Yin and Shang into the great spirits. This plan is theoretically feasible.”

"Ah..." Zhang Cheng was stunned.He suddenly remembered what Tong Lu said before.I see?Even if Zhang Cheng didn't understand its deep meaning, he immediately understood that the gods would definitely not like this kind of thing.

Even if the appearance of these gods does not require the gods to pay any price, they will not like it.As a person in the 21st century, he knows very well that no company would like to have a lot of peers around him at once.The saying that peers are enemies is not for nothing.

"It is said that when King Wu attacked Zhou and crossed the river, a white fish jumped out of the river and fell into the king's boat," said the little bear. "King Wu drew his sword with his own hands, cut and roasted fish, and offered sacrifices to the gods. He was very well-behaved and sensible, right? On that day, the gods smiled at the Zhou people's expedition."

"But the gods should... it's impossible to directly interfere in the human world?" Zhang Cheng asked tentatively.

"Yeah, the gods don't want to go straight," Bear replied. "But it's not much different from going straight to the end. That day, King Shou of Yin led his army to the battlefield. Even though the people of Zhou were full of anger for revenge for the former king, they had to face ten times more enemies than them. The army, as well as dozens of emperor spirits hovering above the sky, protected the entire army of the Yin and Shang with great power. Since the ancestor spirit was sublimated into a great spirit, the Yin and Shang army has never failed in any battle. And that One day, all the emperor spirits came to the battlefield, and almost repeated the scene of Xia Yu's "Battle of Hundred Spirits" at the beginning. The amazing power covered the sky of Muye, and it was so strong that it even gave people an illusion that the gods It’s just like that in the world. If you fight head-on, Zhou Ren will be lucky if he can last for half an hour. And then,” Xiao Xiong’s voice was full of sarcasm. "King Zhou Wu pulled out his long sword from his body and pointed it at the sky, and the emperor spirits immediately disappeared into the air like bubbles. The entire Yin and Shang army was at a loss for a moment, because the power to protect their hearts suddenly disappeared. Jiang Shang led the mere When challenged by 100 people, he only shot an arrow at the army of the Yin people. The Yin Shang army, which lost the protection of the emperor's spirit, collapsed in an instant and began to retreat. The Zhou people's expeditionary army did nothing that day. It's just chasing and intercepting Yin Shang's defeated army."

"Why?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking.

"Just this thing... Qinglu." Little Bear replied.

"This is..." Zhang Cheng found the key from Xiao Xiong's words. "King Wu of Zhou pointed his sword to the sky? You mean, this is King Wu's sword?"

"No, it's Qinglu. Don't ask me why it's called Qinglu, it's just a name. It's a weapon used to kill gods. Of course, it's not just for gods, it also has miraculous effects on great spirits. Or, against all Such beings have miraculous effects.”

"But this..." Zhang Cheng wanted to say that this wasn't a sword, it was just a phantom.

"It's a power," said Bear. "It can be condensed on the weapon. I didn't understand why these lizardmen suddenly made such a large barrier. It turned out to be borrowing the power of Qinglu. Now I kind of understand why this battle of gods broke out... It seems that both sides feel that they have an absolute chance of winning!"

The others around him didn't notice Qing Lu.In other words, they can't see this illusory sword.On the contrary, because it was confirmed that there was no enemy left, several soldiers were relatively slack and focused on those dark corners where people might be hiding.But the posture was not so much that they wanted to find the hidden enemy, but that they were trying to search for the hidden property.

Although Huaiyi was poor, he still had some wealth.

After all, it is an army of a hundred people, and the casters are limited.At this moment, apart from Zhang Cheng, no other spellcaster entered the cave, which means that now only Zhang Cheng can see Qing Lu.

"Zhang Cheng, do you want to take a risk?" Little Bear bewitched.

"How's the adventure?"

"You happen to have a sword, insert the sword in that position, and merge it with Qinglu in that crack, and Qinglu will be sealed in your sword," said Little Bear. "Let me remind you that once this is known to the gods, you are dead. It is a mortal outcome with absolutely no hope. The gods allow this thing to be in the hands of the gods, because this thing itself is made by the gods, But no mortal will be allowed to possess it, let alone an alien. Because this is equivalent to giving mortals the power to kill gods. As for how the gods will kill you, I can only say that there are too many ways to predict. "

"But... it should be easy for the gods to know whose hands this thing falls into, right?" Zhang Cheng was willing to take the risk.But if it is certain to be discovered, it is not called adventure, it is called death.

"No, they don't know." Little Bear replied. "This is originally a consumable, and it is used to maintain the barrier. But my body ran away, and the barrier is meaningless. This thing has been left unattended, and it will completely dissipate in a few days, or even half a day. If you put it away, they will never notice it, at most they are just a little suspicious. Remember, the one above is in a battle of gods, how can I have the spare time to confirm my little suspicion."

Zhang Cheng was persuaded, he stepped forward, took out the Hanguang sword, followed Qing Lu's position, and inserted the sword into the crack.

Originally twisted and illusory, Qinglu slowly disappeared like smoke, no, not disappearing, but combined with Hanguang.About ten seconds before and after, Qing Lu was gone, only the Hanguang Sword was inserted there.

The soldiers on the side didn't notice Zhang Cheng's move, and even if they did, they didn't care at all.They can't see Qing Lu, they don't understand this history, and they don't understand what Zhang Cheng's actions mean.

Zhang Cheng drew out his sword.Han Guang looked no different from before, no matter whether it was the gloss or the surface of the sword body, there was no problem, but when Zhang Cheng was holding the hilt to concentrate, he could vaguely feel the destructive power in it. .

He dared not stay any longer, so he left the cave.

There are no more battles worth mentioning.Finally, the results of the battle were cleaned up, and the captives were taken back in shackles and roped back—this was an era of slavery, where soldiers carried not only weapons, but also ropes and shackles to make it easier to capture prisoners.In other words, the prisoners themselves are a very important part of the spoils.

In fact, it is impossible to get a lot of property from the crusade against these barbarians. If you want to make a fortune, you can only capture prisoners.In this regard, even if it cannot be said that Dr. Kunwu's troops are experienced, they are at least familiar with the situation, and they do not need orders from superiors at all.

Next, the priest began to treat the soldiers wounded in the battle.There are actually not many troop chaplains with hundreds of people, only two.Fortunately, there were very few casualties.Huaiyi didn't put up any decent resistance at all.

That's it for the elite troops, everything is running in an orderly manner, and there is no need for Zhang Cheng, a commander who doesn't understand command at all, to issue unnecessary orders.Someone started to count the loot, someone started to torture the captives, and someone was sent out to do the necessary search to find everything of value.

"These Huai Yi really have ghosts." A soldier walked to Zhang Cheng's side.Zhang Cheng forgot his name, but vaguely remembered that this person had met in the banquet hall.This means that the other party is not an ordinary commoner, but a retainer or vassal of Dr. Kunwu, who is a scholar.In this day and age, this status meant either he was a chariot soldier, or he was a regiment of infantry.

"What the hell?"

"It is said that this is a jade mine." The other party pointed to a cave not far away. "It is said that Huaiyi accidentally discovered that there are some exposed jade stones here, and then gathered here to try to mine."

Zhang Cheng now knows that although this world is primitive and backward, there are still mining industries.In addition, he also knew that things like jade jade, jade pendant, jade bi, jade ring, etc., were basically synonymous with magic items.This means that jade ore is an extremely valuable mineral.This is true for any race, any country, any power.

I see.Zhang Cheng now fully understands that this is the reason why the lizardmen will not leave.Regardless of whether they complete the scheduled task or not, they will not leave.Because this place has ore.Similarly, it is easy to understand why in the game there are only adult lizardmen, but no children and old people.

A mine is obviously meaningless to players.Because mining requires manpower and time, and what is excavated is only semi-finished ores with very low value.Just like the BOSS at the beginning of the game, that is, the weapons and armor on the crippled Gnoll, this low-value thing is even set as "unable to pick up" by the game because it is worthless.The same is true for the ore in this place.

Of course, for a passing player who is similar to a mercenary, minerals are worthless.But for local lords, that's another story.

Zhang Cheng is not particularly familiar with the rules of this world, so he does not know who such a controversial mineral belongs to.But judging from the envious expression on this face, there is no doubt that this is a good thing.

"Jade mine, although it's not big," Zhang Cheng's expression on the other side has been seen on Earth, and the so-called envy, jealousy and hatred are the most apt description. "Doctor Kunwu will take it seriously."

Between the words, Qian also came over.

Although Qian also had a smile on his face, if he could look carefully, he would still be able to see the light of jealousy in the depths of his eyes.The matter of the jade mine was not a secret. At this moment, Qian also knew about it.Of course, as an Aboriginal, he knew exactly what it meant to find this mineral.

The fields on the edge of the swamp are not good because of their poor soil quality and easy to waterlogging.But with the discovery of mineral resources in the center of the swamp, the situation was completely different.
