I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 9: Picking Up a Strand of Dragon Qi (Part 1) Thank you to Wind Gentleman Haoran for becoming the Alliance Master!

Zhang Chen directly carried the pheasant and crawled into the cave he had dug out, and in a short while, he had already arrived at the stone tablet.

After carefully cleaning the dirt off the stone tablet with a brush, Zhang Chen looked at the mysterious runes on the stone tablet, took the pheasant out of the basket, and then took out the pottery pot he often used to boil water in the mountains. Zhang Chen apologized to the pheasant: "Brother Chicken, don't blame me. It's all that damn fox spirit forcing me. If the fox spirit didn't force me, I wouldn't have resorted to this."

Zhang Chen raised his hand and slashed down, and in an instant, chicken blood splattered. Along with the pheasant's constant struggle, a bowl of blood gradually filled the pottery pot.

Zhang Chen took out the writing brush he had prepared in advance, dipped it in the chicken blood, and began to trace the characters on the tombstone. Zhang Chen knew that the blood would congeal quickly, and he didn't have much time left. Fortunately, there weren't too many characters on the stone tablet. As Zhang Chen's brush fell, bloody characters appeared on the stone tablet.

Fortunately, after acquiring the Golden Light skill, Zhang Chen always felt that his hand movements were very stable now. Every move seemed to have a inexplicable power of stability. Although his movements were very fast, he did not make any mistakes.

After about a cup of tea, Zhang Chen finished tracing the characters on the tombstone, and then used white paper to directly make a rubbing of the tombstone.

According to the normal rubbing procedure, the first stage is to apply the paper, the second stage is to beat the paper, the third stage is to apply the ink, and the fourth stage is to remove the rubbing. The various procedures are extremely cumbersome, but Zhang Chen didn't intend to study calligraphy, nor did he intend to keep the rubbed characters for a long time. He just wanted to use the fox spirit's hand to get Zhang Chen to read the characters on the stone tablet.

The rubbing went very smoothly. After Zhang Chen peeled off the white paper from the stone tablet, there was no blurring at all, but the bloody handwriting looked particularly terrifying in this gloomy cave.

"Next, I'll just wait for the fox spirit to take the bait." Zhang Chen picked up the Luoyang shovel and began his great digging career again.

At this time, the underground became permafrost, and digging was extremely difficult, as if he was directly digging ice on ice. Zhang Chen found that he could hardly dig with the Luoyang shovel alone, and he needed to use a chisel and hammer together.

"I still need to prepare gunpowder. When the time comes, I can directly use gunpowder to blast open the permafrost, and the digging speed will be faster." Zhang Chen muttered to himself while hammering the soil: "Also, those people from Cui the blacksmith's family don't seem to be kind people. Once they cause any trouble, they might kill people to silence them, or even slaughter the entire village. I've met those people several times. If they want to silence me, I definitely won't be able to escape. If I can make gunpowder…"

Zhang Chen dug for half an hour, only to feel extremely cold all over his body. The cold air not only froze the soil, but also seemed to want to drill into Zhang Chen's bones, to freeze his blood.

Zhang Chen's hands and feet were numb, and he quickly rushed out of the underground, standing in the sun and greedily enjoying the sunlight in the sky, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "What exactly is in that underground cave? Why is it so cold? I'll come back to dig tomorrow, and I still need to prepare a few cotton clothes in advance."

After warming up for a while, Zhang Chen climbed down the cave again, took out the chisel and shovel, and continued digging.

It's just that Zhang Chen didn't notice that the blood on the stone tablet was gradually seeping into the stone tablet, gradually disappearing cleanly, as if there had never been any blood on the stone tablet.

At this time, Zhang Chen's heart was all on digging the cave to collect experience points, so how could he pay attention to the useless stone tablet next to him?

After digging in the cave for another two hours, seeing that it was getting colder and colder, Zhang Chen not only felt his body freezing stiff, but even his hair was stained with a layer of frost. Zhang Chen finally couldn't hold on anymore. He put all the soil into the basket, and then carried the soil out.

"Now the digging speed is getting slower and slower. I only dug ten baskets of soil in a day." Zhang Chen struggled to climb out of the cave, carefully dispersing the soil around to avoid revealing any flaws, or disturbing any wild animals.

Then look at the Golden Finger panel:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skills (Tier 2): Light of the True God (0/5000)】

【Points: 1100】

"Today's harvest is three hundred points. I've already collected one thousand and one hundred points. It seems that it's not far from five thousand points. In a few days, my skills should be able to be upgraded." Zhang Chen looked at his Golden Finger panel, only feeling that the future was promising, and the day when his skills would be upgraded again was not far away. He raised his head to look at the sky. Now the sun had passed noon, and Zhang Chen was exhausted, only feeling cold air coming from his bones. He didn't plan to continue digging, but instead carried the basket to prepare the gunpowder.

That fox spirit is terrible, but the people from the outer village are not easy to deal with either. He didn't want to be killed by a group of mortals after he killed the fox spirit. That would be a very suffocating death.

Zhang Chen packed the rubbed paper in a bamboo tube, and then carried the basket and walked towards the mountain.

If it were an ordinary person, they might know how to make gunpowder. After all, one part sulfur, two parts charcoal, and three parts potassium nitrate were learned in junior high school chemistry, but that's just theory, and it doesn't mean they can make it. But Zhang Chen just happened to know the recipe and process for making high-purity explosives! After all, in his previous life, after watching wilderness survival techniques, he also went up the mountain with his second uncle to blast wild boars and fish. This technology was not learned for nothing!

"If you want to make explosives, you still need to make two kinds of explosives: a small amount of highly sensitive explosives as the ignition point, and a large amount of insensitive explosives as the main force." Zhang Chen thought in his heart.

He now lives in a remote mountain village, and there is no shortage of various materials for making explosives, but he still needs to be careful, not to let the fox spirit discover any clues, nor to let the villagers discover any clues.

Fortunately, he often goes hunting in the mountains, and the process of making explosives can be done in the deep mountains and old forests. If the fox doesn't leave Zhang Chen's side, it's difficult to discover his movements.

"Why not just make explosives in that tomb… No, if there's an explosion, I'm afraid I'll be buried alive in it. I still need to find an open space."

Soon, Zhang Chen selected a site target, which was a natural karst cave, rarely visited by people.

(PS: I won't talk about the detailed tutorial on making explosives, for fear of the River Crab God. In short, it's not difficult, and raw materials are easily found in rural areas.)

Zhang Chen didn't dare to let anyone know about making an explosive that could change the era, not even Wang Wu.

Zhang Chen fiddled around in the mountains for half a day, and then walked out of the mountains with a gray face. The golden light in his eyes flickered. He didn't notice the fox spirit's aura, and knew that the fox spirit hadn't followed him, so he went to the mountains to check the traps with peace of mind.

Today, Zhang Chen's harvest was still a great success. He harvested two more pheasants and a rabbit. Zhang Chen directly roasted a pheasant and a rabbit in the mountains to satisfy his hunger, and then, seeing that the sky was getting dark, he carried the pheasant and the prey he had hunted in the morning, and swayed towards his home.

Walking to the door of his house, Zhang Chen really saw the white-haired fox standing in front of the door, eagerly waiting. At this time, the fox spirit seemed to have smelled the taste of the pheasant, and immediately cheered and jumped happily on the ground, and then rushed into the house with a happy face, waiting to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

"This damn fox spirit is simply becoming a spirit!" Zhang Chen looked at the cheering fox, but couldn't laugh at all, and stamped his feet in anger.

ps: Explain, originally I sent large chapters of four to five thousand words, but later someone told me that the effect would be better if the new book was split up, so a chapter is temporarily split into two chapters.
