The appearance of village chief Wang Shun did not disrupt Zhang Yang's plan.
The next day, Ren, Wang Mumu and others set out again. This time there were more people, a hundred captain-level soldiers, plus Wang Shun's men, all sent to dig and transport coal.
Under the threat of powerful force, or in other words, the mysterious and powerful ghost lady, they had no other choice.
And Zhang Yang also asked craftsmen to build a hundred large sleds, each of which could hold five tons of coal, and parked them in a place with deep snow one hundred and fifty miles away. Then let Wang Mumu work a little harder to move the sleds on the road. As the snow becomes thicker, wider and harder, coal can be transported back quickly.
At the same time, Zhang Yang continued to make seamless iron pipes. After each batch was made, the construction team took it out to assemble a batch.
This thing needs to be put into the ground three meters deep, and then sealed with stones to prevent rust to the greatest extent. Although it may not be able to be used for a few years, as long as it survives this winter, it will be the best for Zhang Yang. victory.
In the next half month, Zhang Yang completed the production of all seamless iron pipes, and all the iron ingots were consumed. As for the steel ingots, he made them into heating boilers.
These heating pipes were provided to residents first, then to the military camps where soldiers lived, and finally to the castle where Zhang Yang and several heroes lived.
During this period, Renne and others also sent back coal twice in a row, which was one thousand tons, which provided the greatest guarantee for the subsequent heating.
Add water to the boiler, ignite the fire, provide heat, Zhang Yang supervises the whole process, and uses the soul force field to lock every detail.
Although he had obtained the drawings of the heating system with fragments of hope, and the heating boilers used were the simplest, this was an unfamiliar field after all.
After three days of hard work and a lot of minor troubles solved, this heating system that can cover 900 people can finally be used normally.
With heating supplied 24 hours a day, the temperature in every residential house will not fall below 24 degrees above zero.
And just in case, the original earthen kang, fireplace and other heating equipment in each residence are also retained, just in case the temperature is too low and the heating system fails to work.
When Ren, Wang Mumu and others returned the third batch of coal, Zhang Yang asked them to stop coal mining, and Wu Yuan's tree felling also stopped. Now that there is sufficient fuel, there is no need to cut down all the trees, otherwise next year The spring tide of earth-walking wood demons is not easy to deal with.
"Everything is ready, all I need is the east wind. Next, I will take the mountain god to trial. The results of this trip are unpredictable, so I must make arrangements in advance."
In the castle, Zhang Yang summoned the core of all the villages, including the villagers' respected old people, craftsmen, and his heir Zhang Wenyuan, the three village chiefs' wives, and all the elite population.
"What if I don't come back—"
Everyone in the audience was shocked when Zhang Yang said one sentence.
"Everyone be quiet. I have my own opinion on this matter. This trial is necessary. If anything happens, Zhang Wenyuan will be the successor village chief, Wu Yuan, Lei En, Wang Shen, Wang Mumu, Duan Kuan, Liu Dali, Song Dachui, Zhao Tiezhu , Zhou Datou, and all of you, must continue to swear allegiance to him and work hard to survive."
"Wu Yuan, come here, I'll give you this Ice Marrow Pill. It can help you break through to the extraordinary. By then, there will be two extraordinary heroes in the village. Coupled with my previous arrangements, even if the ghost lady advances to the ghost queen, You also have the ability to delay it until spring comes."
"Sir, I can't use this Ice Marrow Pill. You can take it yourself. This will also increase your chance of success in completing the trial!" Wu Yuan was puzzled.
Zhang Yang curled his lips and said to himself, "Do you think I don't want to?" I'm not a fool.
He had previously consumed 1,000 units of ghost crystals to exchange for this Ice Marrow Pill, intending to use it for himself. However, the message indicated that the Ice Marrow Pill was only effective after the first dose, and the effect was reduced after the second dose. Half.
So after Zhang Yang thought carefully for a night, he made this decision with great frustration.
Wu Yuan is the most prestigious hero in the village besides him, and when he participated in the hero trial before, he was completely delayed, otherwise he would have to be an extraordinary hero now.
As long as each hero succeeds in the trial, he cannot start the hero trial again, so from this point of view, it is necessary to give this Ice Marrow Pill to Wu Yuan.
"Stop talking nonsense and eat it."
Zhang Yang said sternly, Wu Yuan is now a three-star hero with pretty good average attributes, so he is also looking forward to seeing his performance after becoming extraordinary.
"Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I can't repay you even if I am broken into pieces."
Wu Yuan was also very excited and ate the Ice Marrow Pill on the spot.
But there is no change, this is normal, it is just a pill, and it is not about transcending the tribulation and ascending.
Moreover, Wu Yuan was much better at understanding and controlling the anger in the Ice Marrow Pill than Zhang Yang. He immediately took out the hero's spear and waved it in the open space.
But the strange thing is that Wu Yuan made no sound when he fired the gun, it was light and fluttery, as if he had no force, and there was no plan, he just danced randomly.
There wasn't even any killing intent released from his body. He looked like an ordinary person acting drunkenly.
Others were confused, but Zhang Yang wanted to give high-fives and praise him.
Amazing.
When he took the Ice Marrow Pill before, he was probably wasting at least 20% of its spiritual effect, and that was because his body was too weak and his soul power was exhausted.
But Wu Yuan was now at the peak of his powers, and as a result, not a single bit of the Ice Marrow Pill's magical effect was wasted.
The drunkard Wu Yuan's gun dance lasted for a full hour, and there was nothing surprising from beginning to end, as if what he took was not a magic pill but a golden pill.
Everyone was puzzled.
Finally, Wu Yuan put away his gun and stood up. There was no change in his whole body. Even his height, weight and appearance were normal. The more this happened, the more jealous Zhang Yang became.
Yes, it's just jealousy. Although he grew 5 centimeters taller after taking the Ice Marrow Pill, that was because he couldn't fully absorb the power of the medicine, and then he used the soul force field to cheat and seal it tightly, which allowed the spiritual effect to spread all over the place. The whole body, so it made him grow 5 centimeters taller. That would be a failure, right
Look at Wu Yuan, this is 100% absorption of the magical effect of the Ice Marrow Pill.
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
Wu Yuan knelt down and bowed three times, then stood up and walked aside as if nothing happened.
"Hey, hey, boss Wu, is it gone now?"
Song Dachui couldn't help but ask. He felt it was weird. We watched it for an hour, but you didn't give us any special effects. Are you worthy of our monthly tickets
"No, what else do you think, do you really think of me as a monkey trick?" Wu Yuan replied with a smile.
A group of people didn't believe it.
Ren even shouted, "Did you do some juggling? You didn't swallow the Ice Marrow Pill at all."
"Everyone be quiet, Wu Yuan is extraordinary now." Zhang Yang shouted, opened the village building order, found Wu Yuan's attributes, looked at the changes above, and sighed, he can't compare with this!
When Wu Yuan advanced to a two-star hero, his attributes were B+ for strength, B+ for agility, C+ for defense, and C- for soul.
When he breaks through to a three-star hero, his attributes are B+ for strength, B+ for agility, C+ for defense, and C+ for soul.
And now, Mud!
A- for strength, A- for agility, B- for defense, and A- for soul.
Damn it, three attributes are extraordinary, I went there, Zhang Yang went crazy with envy.
Three extraordinary attributes, what is the concept
Well, he didn’t know what the concept was because it was his first time encountering it.
But the properties below speak for themselves.
"Talent, gun soul, great strength, understanding."
"Skills, fight in all directions, soul-breaking stab."
"Heroic aura, a rainbow piercing the sun, the effect is that the murderous aura is released outwards, forming substance, the void becomes a spear, a rainbow pierces the sun."
"Heroic aura, as powerful as thunder."
—
"Wu Yuan, how many Wang Mumu can you kill now?"
Zhang Yang asked at this time, because from the attribute point of view, Wu Yuan is undoubtedly very awesome, but it is hard to say to what extent.
Wang Mumu has two extraordinary attributes, so this is the best reference.
Wu Yuan turned back and glanced at Wang Mumu, "To tell you this, sir, I can't kill many Wang Mumu. I can only say that in a life-and-death battle, I can defeat him within three shots."
"What if we meet that orc lord again?"
"Three shots to kill."
"Where's Ren?"
"Three shots to defeat."
"Except for Wang Mumu, where are all the trio of violent bears?"
"Just one shot."
"what about me?"
"Well, it depends on the situation. If there is a fire near you, sir, I will turn around and run away as far as I can."
Zhang Yang laughed, very satisfied with the answer, but he had one last question.
"If I don't come back in time and Mrs. Ghost becomes the Ghost Queen, what are your chances of winning?"
"I don't know, sir, because no one knows how powerful the Ghost Queen is, so we can't compare. However, I can guarantee that the village will no longer be surrounded by clouds of Yin Qi, so that even the wind cannot blow in. Coupled with the mountain god's wind-calling technique, and your lord personally taking charge, we will definitely be able to fight to a draw with the ghost queen."
"So, I beg you, sir, not to go to some mountain god trial!"
Wu Yuan knelt down again, and the others quickly knelt down and prayed. It was Zhang Yang's words this time that frightened them all. What if he really left and never came back
Zhang Yang watched silently, but left without saying anything.
He is not so willful, but he sees further!
So what if we fight to a draw with the Ghost Queen
When spring comes, the Yang Qi rises and the Yin Qi recedes, but the ghost queen will not return to the abyss. It will only hide and find a place where more Yin Qi stays to hide and wait for the arrival of the next winter.
Moreover, this guy is very intelligent. As long as he is alive, he might play some tricks.
For example, the Ghost Queen can turn into a beautiful woman. It is estimated that all the human villages will not be able to discover its disguise. When the time comes, it will defeat the human villages one after another, destroying everyone, no, even those alien villages. , when the time comes, there will be tens of thousands of sons of the Ghost Mother, comparable to a zombie tide.
How to break it then
Do you really think you can relax after a draw
Pooh!
In Zhang Yang's view, there is no such thing as a draw in this fantasy world. Winning is a way to survive, and losing is a way to die.
And a draw is also a dead end.
