Chapter 275: Hope for the Upgrade of the Great Destroyer Sword, Free Miners (2)
Coming to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament this time was definitely the right choice for Zhou Shu.
It had only been a day, but his Great Destroyer Sword had already completed hundreds of kills. The conditions to upgrade it were directly unlocked.
The method to upgrade the Great Destroyer Sword had long appeared in his mind.
There was a way, but there were no materials.
You couldn’t make bricks without straw!
Now that he had coincidentally obtained the necessary material, blood silver, the rest of the materials would be easier to obtain.
He would find the main army later and get the other forging materials…
Zhou Shu was a little excited.
The Great Destroyer Sword was about to be upgraded to a black-grade weapon!
“That’s right. There’s so much blood silver. If we can’t take it away, when the army of the Demon Realm attacks, they’ll snatch it all away.” Shi Songtao fretted blissfully.
“Snatch it away? They have to have the ability!” Zhou Shu snorted coldly.
The hundreds of demonic beasts continued to mine.
The pile of blood silver grew until it was almost a hill.
With so much blood silver, even if Zhou Shu was strong enough to move it, it was unrealistic to move it away just like that.
Dump it here?
How was that possible!
It was a shame to waste it!
Unfortunately, there was no such divine artifact as a storage ring in this world. Otherwise, he would have been able to take away the blood silver easily.
“Deputy Master, use the sound transmission stone to contact the general. If they’re nearby, ask them to come and help,” Zhou Shu said.
Now you remember that I’m the deputy master…?Shi Songtao cursed silently. “I tried earlier. I don’t know if it’s because of the distance or something else, but I can’t reach anyone with the sound transmission stone.”
“In that case, we have no choice.” Zhou Shu rubbed his chin and pondered. “This is the only way.”
He made his decision.
“What are we going to do?” Yin Wuyou asked curiously.
“We’ll build a camp here,” Zhou Shu said. “The Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch!
“There’s so much blood silver that we won’t be able to take it away for a while, so we’ll use it here. When we return to Great Xia after destroying the people from Demon Realm, we’ll get the army to help us transport it back.”
If he couldn’t take it with him, he might as well not.
He would stay here to build a camp and guard the blood silver. At the same time, he would also forge weapons here. When he contacted the main army later, he could directly let them use this place as a logistics supply base.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
The more Zhou Shu thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was perfect.
“Build a camp? Just the four of us?” Shi Songtao’s jaw dropped. “Your Highness, we still don’t know the situation around here. What if the Demon Realm has already occupied the vicinity?”
“If they’ve occupied the vicinity, then we’ll be the base of operations behind enemy lines,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Also, who said there are only four of us?
“Deputy Master, you can’t discriminate. Although the enemy is the enemy, you have to treat them as humans. Look, they are doing so well.” Zhou Shu pointed to the hardworking ‘miners’.
Shi Songtao: “…”
What do you mean I’m not treating them as humans? They’re not humans to begin with, okay? They’re demonic beasts!
Even if I treat them as humans, they’re not on our side.
And you expect them to help build the camp?
We should count ourselves lucky they’re not attacking us!
Shi Songtao complained, and his expression became strange.
His Highness doesn’t think that building a camp is just building a few fences and tents, right?
“Build a branch of the Huaxia Pavilion here? What a genius idea.” Unlike Shi Songtao, Yin Wuyou looked a little excited as she clapped her hands. “That’s what we’ll do!”
“It’s settled then.” Zhou Shu clapped his hands.
You’re deciding it just like that?
Aren’t you going to ask my opinion?
I’m the deputy master of the Huaxia Pavilion. Aren’t I the second-in-command?
Are you really not afraid of danger here?
This place is most likely surrounded by the Demon Realm army.
Shi Songtao wanted to cry but had no tears. He had thought that following Zhou Shu was a very safe thing to do.
But now, he realized that he was walking on the edge of life and death all day.
“Deputy Master, please advise us on how to build our camp,” Zhou Shu said. “We have to be prepared not to be able to contact the main army for a long time. At that time, if the Demon Realm army attacks the camp, we have to be able to defend it. Therefore, the camp’s defense has to be strong. Also…”
Zhou Shu spoke leisurely. In any case, they didn’t have to work themselves. Of course, the larger and stronger the camp, the better.
Shi Songtao sighed repeatedly, but what choice did he have?
He was just the deputy master!
Damn it. I’m going to build the walls of the camp thirty feet high!
Those demonic beasts won’t be able to enter even if they die!
Shi Songtao was furious. Since he had been asked for his opinion, he had to make the camp as solid as an iron bucket. Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel safe!
When the humanoid demonic beast held hostage heard Zhou Shu’s words, a cold smile flashed across his eyes.
If you have a death wish, that’s for the best.
I’ll play with you now. When I’m free later, I’ll definitely eat all of you up one by one!
The humanoid demonic beast in human form made up his mind.?Aren’t you going to build a camp?
I’ll help you build it!
When it’s built, I’ll bring people to capture all of you like turtles in a jar!
“Oh yes.” Zhou Shu patted his forehead. “Blood silver mines usually have other forging materials nearby. Since there’s blood silver here, there must be other forging materials in the mountain.
“Deputy Master, you don’t have anything to do now anyway. Just look around and see if there are any other mineral mines.”
Shi Songtao: “…”
What do you mean I have nothing to do? Didn’t you ask me to design the camp?
Why do you want me to find mines now?
“Your Highness, I’m not a combatant. If I encounter other demonic beasts…” Shi Songtao said.
“Don’t worry,” Zhou Shu said. “There are no other demonic beasts within a few kilometers. If you really encounter any, shout for help. I’ll rush over soon.
“Deputy Master, we have limited manpower now, so you have to work harder…”
Shi Songtao rolled his eyes.?Like I’d believe you!
If I encounter demonic beasts, I should shout for help?
By the time you get there, it’ll be too late!
“I won’t go too far. I’ll just look around!” Shi Songtao maintained his final stubbornness.
“Alright.” Zhou Shu nodded casually.
“Hey!” He patted the humanoid demonic beast’s head. “Tell your people to split into groups and do as I tell them.”
The humanoid demonic beast sneered in his heart.
Plan to catch a turtle in a jar, start!
For the Demon Realm, I will endure humiliation!
He deliberately put on an unconvinced expression. After Zhou Shu slapped him a few more times, he pretended to be unwilling and agreed.
After saying a few words in the beast language, a few hundred of the hundreds of demon beasts gave up mining and began to whittle the stones in the mountain into square stones.
The claws of demonic beasts were extremely sharp, and all of them were ranked. Not only were they good as miners, but they were also not bad as stonemasons.
The humanoid demonic beast shouted a few more times in the beast language.
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows.?What was this kid saying?
The language barrier is inconvenient. He can understand me, but I can’t understand him.
I won’t even know if he’s scolding me.
Should I learn a foreign language?
The first thing that came to Zhou Shu’s mind was the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique.
But his current Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique could only go back to the last two years of the dream target.
The beast language of this humanoid demonic beast was definitely not something he had learned in the past two years. Even if he entered a dream, he wouldn’t be able to learn the beast language.
… Unless his Zhuang Zhou Butterfly DreamTechnique could go back to when the humanoid demonic beast had just learned to speak.
Even if I can go back that far, I don’t want to.
Thinking of transforming into a demonic beast, Zhou Shu felt his scalp tingle. His current mental strength was not strong enough to be unaffected by dreams.
It was better to think of other ways to learn the foreign language.
“Tell them to put the stones there when they’re cut.” Zhou Shu casually pointed and told his hostage and translator.
