In silence, everyone now looked at the ghost priest with quite unkind eyes.
This made the black smoke-like ghost priest tremble constantly. At this moment, in this sunny summer background, not to mention the several heroes present, even an elite soldier could cause fatal damage to it.
On the contrary, Zhang Yang fell into some kind of thinking. When he turned around again, it was already more than ten minutes later, and the ghost priest was still trembling. It didn't dare to run at all, and it couldn't run away.
"Village Chief, I—"
The ghost priest seemed to have seen the savior. It was smart enough not to disturb Zhang Yang's thinking just now.
"Shh!"
Zhang Yang raised a finger to signal the ghost priest to silence, and then he changed to a new sitting position comfortably, and then said: "Now, I ask, you answer, if you dare to say more nonsense, I will I’ll kill you, understand?”
"clear!"
"Very good, I want to know how Yin Qi is formed?"
"I-I don't know, Mr. Village Chief, don't kill me, I really don't know."
"Okay, then tell me, what is the specific nature of Yin Qi? Or for us, what is the specific perception of this Yin Qi?" Zhang Yang was not in a hurry, but followed the instructions calmly.
"Cold, extremely cold, like a layer of frost-like fog, very light, the wind can blow it away, and then gather from the strands into a ball, floating in the air, like a cloud, every time At this time, not even the strong wind can blow them away.”
"In the densest clouds of Yin Qi, ghost crystals will automatically condense. They will fall down like ice rain, and then they will follow any living object, whether it is a person, a monster, or a flame, and will not let go until The target went completely cold.”
"However, the ghost can be captured. It is very precious. It only takes one piece to repair the Wood Demon Tower's durability by 200 points, and it can also be made into a weapon, if you have that ability."
"Village Chief, that's all I know about Yin Qi and ghosts."
"Yes, it sounds very reliable. At least I understand that the Yin Qi can be condensed into ghost crystals. The ghost crystals can repair the Wood Demon's Tower, and the Wood Demon's Tower can restore our spiritual power and vitality, so from From this perspective, I think this may be an ecosystem."
Zhang Yang said to himself, "But there is a missing link, that is, do you know how the Earthly Wood Demon was formed?"
"I, I don't know, Mr. Village Chief, I am just the weakest ghost soldier in the Abyss Ghost Clan." The ghost priest almost cried.
"Really? This is an interesting thing. Renn, do you know the Earthly Wood Demon?" Zhang Yang turned around and asked.
"I know, Lord, the earth-walking wood demon is the most terrifying monster every spring and the mortal enemy of any village. At least that's what I think. I haven't encountered any ghosts or ghosts in winter, but the earth-walking wood demon Demons, they are so scary, there will often be dozens or even hundreds of wood demons appearing in a forest. If we don't take precautions in advance, an entire village will be destroyed by them."
"But the strange thing is that in almost the last month of spring, those earth-walking wood demons will disappear until they reappear in the following spring. I think they may have turned into trees to camouflage themselves."
"This is really interesting! Are you sure you don't want to add anything more?" Zhang Yang looked at the ghost priest again with a smile. He had not forgotten what the ghost priest said casually more than a month ago, that is, that tree Trees that are warmed will become spirits.
What is becoming a spirit
Maybe turning into an earthly wood demon is also a kind of becoming a spirit. He didn't know whether the Yin Qi would have any catalytic effect on the tree becoming a spirit, but there was no doubt that this ghost priest had something evil in his heart.
If the kind of warmed trees are easily nourished by Yin Qi, and then turn into earthly wood demons when spring comes, then the behavior of the ghost priest is harboring evil intentions.
An earth-walking wood demon is like a time bomb buried around the village.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This sentence is absolutely correct!"
Zhang Yang murmured to himself, and the soul force field was released instantly. Before the ghost priest could struggle, a secondary compression shook it into a piece of powder.
Nowadays, it is no easier for Zhang Yang to kill it than to crush an ant.
This time, it was Wu Yuan, Duan Kuan, Wang Shen and others' turn to be stunned. The lord of his family was too cruel and ruthless. After all, the ghost priest had also raised the Wood Demon Tower for four months. Even if you want to kill, you have to wait until autumn.
"What are you looking at? Of course this ghost priest will not betray blatantly, even in winter. If I set it up well, it will not dare to betray in the next hundred years, but there is no point, Wu Yuan Do you remember the fire spirit in the Tiger tribe? That thing has similar properties to this ghost priest."
"If these things are not well-raised, it will not betray you at this moment, or it will not betray you for a long time in the future. It is not because of how loyal it is or how much it loves you, but because the time is not enough and the fire is not enough."
"It's ridiculous, but there are always so many self-righteous wretches in this world. Therefore, instead of painstakingly cultivating a ghost priest who is destined to betray in the future, I might as well kill it before I become soft-hearted."
Zhang Yang said calmly, and at the same time he added something in his mind, "I also have weaknesses. In a few years, the ghost priest will advance to become a ghost lady again. If she is still a beautiful female ghost, how can I destroy the flower with such ruthless hands? What if I fall into the gentle land? Oh, this restlessness of youth."
Everyone was silent again for a while, everyone looked at Zhang Yang with an expressionless face, and felt chills in their hearts.
After a long while, Wu Yuan finally asked:
"Sir, what should we do next? What if the orc tribe suddenly attacks us in the autumn, or how should we solve the current food crisis?"
Zhang Yang shook his head, "The orc tribe probably won't attack us. If it's true that the ghosts and ghosts are rampant in winter, because they know very well that even if they forcibly destroy us, they will suffer eight hundred losses, which is very unfavorable. The orc tribe survives the more dangerous winters and springs.”
"Of course, the orc tribe will very much welcome us to attack them now. We can't get any benefits if we switch positions offensively and defensively."
"In this case, the role of the ghost priest is useless, and the repair of the Wood Demon Tower is also simple. Can we just capture some ghost crystals in winter? Don't make things too complicated."
"As for the issue of food, continue to reclaim land. Since the output of 200 acres of land is only enough for more than 600 of us to eat for a month, what is there to say? Continue to reclaim land and reclaim 3,500 acres. , we can naturally achieve a balance between supply and demand.”
"And next, I plan to start the hero trial again."
Zhang Yang's words were not without purpose. He had considered this issue long before the wheat harvest failed. There were no enemies in the villages within a hundred miles, and it was impossible for the orc tribe to attack again before they recovered their strength.
The reason why he insisted on fighting in the field last time was to protect the crops that were about to mature. Now that the crops have been harvested and new crops have just been planted, even if the orcs come to attack at this time, they can shrink back to the castle. Under the attack, the orcs will The casualties would be absolutely horrific.
Especially now that it has been determined that in this fantasy world, the most dangerous thing is not your competitors, but the ghosts in winter and the earthly wood demons in spring. These two scourges are the biggest enemies that destroy villages. Summer and autumn are the most dangerous ones. It is a prime time for development.
"That's it. After ten days, I will lead Duan Kuan to start the hero trial, and then I will try my best to return within twenty days."
Zhang Yang made the final decision, and naturally no one had any objections.
Next comes the more hectic preparation work.
Based on the new situation of Li Gui Hun, he decided to further reduce the scope of the city wall. The originally planned three-kilometer perimeter of the city wall was shortened to 1.5 kilometers, as long as it could protect residences and various buildings.
For this reason, Zhang Yang simply ordered the craftsmen to demolish all Level 3 and Level 4 residential buildings and rebuild them into Level 5 residential buildings.
These level 5 residential buildings occupy a large area and are suitable for the largest number of people. Most importantly, they are sturdier. They are all made of stone and have good fireproof and waterproof properties. One building can accommodate 20 families.
With the village's current population of less than 700, five level 5 residential buildings are enough, because the soldiers all live in barracks and castles.
The vacated areas are reserved for blacksmith shops, tailor shops, slaughterhouses, kitchens, warehouses, grain depots, etc.
Now that the second season of crops has been planted, Zhang Yang has taken out a lot of vegetable seeds and asked farmers to plant them in some corner areas. These vegetables grow very fast in this rainy season, taking about half a month to one month. It can be picked in a month.
Part of it is picked and eaten on the same day, and the remaining part is dried in the sun. There is no need to even give instructions, the peasant women and village girls have done it very well, such as dried cabbage, dried beans, dried eggplants, and melons. Dried pepper peels, dried cucumbers, mushrooms picked from the wild, fungus, etc. are all dried and stored in the warehouse.
Human beings' sense of worry is probably hidden in their bloodline genes. Zhang Yang could only click his tongue in surprise after seeing it.
Not surprisingly, they will enjoy it in a different way during this cold winter.
"Yes, charcoal, Zhao Tiezhu, you go and arrange for people to build brick kilns and charcoal kilns to burn bricks and burn charcoal. The winter here is probably not as cold as usual, so you must do a good job of keeping warm in advance. Renn, let your sister work harder. , I hope everyone can have a warm fur coat before winter comes."
"Wu Yuan, I still have sixty recruits here. After they are recruited, you take them to the training ground for training. Let Wang Shen, Qin Yidao, Ren En, and Song Dachui take turns to train. There are no instructors. This is the only way. The method can be trained in one month."
Zhang Yang wanders around the village every day. Occasionally, an idea will come up, and then he will casually tell others about the rough idea to implement it. It doesn’t matter how effective it is, but it shouldn’t be too bad, because the people he has currently can do things. There are still a lot of them, Wu Yuan, Wang Shen, Ren En, and Zhao Tiezhu are the four major leaders.
There are 90 craftsmen below. These craftsmen have studied for at least one month, and the longest has been four months. There are as many as 20 people with secondary skill proficiency levels above 300 points.
It is precisely because of the existence of these craftsmen that as long as there is no chaos at the command level, no matter what is done, it can be done quickly.
In such busyness, ten days passed by in a flash, but there was one last thing Zhang Yang had not done, which was to enchant the tower shields of Ren and Wang Mumu with iron wall war patterns.
These days, other building work in the blacksmith shop has been stopped, so I concentrated on building these two tower shields. In the end, after refining 300 pieces of armor and 200 pieces of weapons, I successfully built two tower shields with different weights. A large piece of iron about two tons.
When Ren En and Wang Mumu saw these two so-called tower shields, they were in despair. Is the lord making trouble
