Chapter 76: Fire-roasted Blade Beast Meat
Chapter 76: Blazing...Blade Beast Meat
The day after the fortress attack and defense.
In the evening;
Area C of the expansion of Fort 76 in the Middle Basin.
The rhythmic sound of blacksmithing could be heard again at Lingtong's temporary supply station.
The hardworking Taoist Master Wang completed this wave of practice and took a firm step forward towards the middle level of the Concentration Spirit Realm.
At this stage, he has no shortage of crystal cores. All he needs to do in the future is to continue to enhance his spiritual awareness, condense his soul, and temper his body. Within half a month, he will be able to reach the middle stage of the Concentration Spirit Realm!
Under the current conditions, the best way to strengthen the body is naturally...
Blacksmithing.
Two large furnaces more than one person tall were roaring with fire, and a thick anvil and a sledgehammer hastily made with high-precision machine tools were forging a sword blank.
Wang Jixuan was trying to find a way to mass-produce the Demon-Breaking Dagger, and at the same time, he wanted to get Lingtong a weapon for self-defense.
After this battle, Master Wang gained a direct understanding of the strength of the blade beast's shell, and also gained an intuitive understanding of human firepower, and roughly knew the weaknesses of both.
Moreover, Wang Jixuan became more and more confident in his combat power after entering the Golden Core Realm.
"I don't know if the boy was encouraged by me. This is indeed the feeling I got from this life again, right..."
"There is a crystal core, cool!"
"No crystal core, not happy."
'If you don't die, you can always become an immortal. Living is the foundation of everything!'
Taoist Wang stopped hammering, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, wrapped the sword embryo in front of him with spiritual energy, lifted it up, and sent it to the bucket of water beside for cold brewing.
Accompanied by a sizzling sound, white mist instantly rose in the workshop.
Wang Jixuan exhaled, put the sword embryo aside and looked at it carefully, still shaking his head with some dissatisfaction.
"The quality is still not good enough, I need to continue forging and infusing it with spirit."
"This is a gift from me to Ling Tong. It is also a disguised way of protecting me, so I must polish it well."
'By the way, I can also implicitly tell the devil commander that I have greater value, so that he won't be unable to withstand the pressure from the Thirteenth Institute.'
A broadcast sounded in the workshop:
"Battle Princess, return to the cabin."
Wang Jixuan turned his head and saw the four newly added soldiers on guard post outside the door saluted at the same time.
Lingtong walked quickly into the outer gate. Master Wang, who didn't have time to put on a short-sleeved shirt and was only wearing a pair of gray cropped pants, quickly moved his hands and eyes... and raised the hammer horizontally to block his chest muscles.
Ling Tong lowered her head and walked in. Her originally bad mood suddenly brightened up a lot.
"What happened?" Wang Jixuan asked.
"Come in and talk, I'm hungry."
A small projection screen popped out from Lingtong's robotic arm, and he casually turned on the supply station's protective shield and confidentiality soundproofing device.
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that the things she is handling are not going smoothly.
……
It wasn't going well indeed.
Qin Qin explained a lot of things, including how to operate the nutrient tank and amplifier, and also admitted that she had asked Meng Caiyuan to transmit signals twice, but other than that, nothing else was gained.
The City of Psychic Power has issued a notice that B-level psychic Uncle Feng and his four younger brothers have officially moved into the House of Psychic Power, and a team of specialists is on their way from the City of Psychic Power.
Fortunately, the laboratory of the Psychic House in Fortress No. 76 has been emptied by the military, and Qin Qin has been escorted to the front-line command center.
The young man named Meng Caiyuan was temporarily transferred to the medical center on the seventh floor of the fortress. The military has not yet decided whether to detain him.
The situation outside the fortress is not optimistic either.
Those blade beasts have been moving underground, and now they have retreated to the center of the Sarri Desert, about 200 kilometers away;
The intensity of the war on the periphery of the front line has decreased, but more blade beasts are rushing towards the vicinity of the Medieval Basin, and three king-level blade beasts have appeared on the periphery.
The war is tending to escalate further.
The theater command center is evaluating whether to take the initiative to eliminate this group of blade beasts.
Wang Jixuan asked: "Can't we just attack them with nuclear bombs?"
Sister Wan explained gently: "Why do you think they have been hiding underground and marching? They are hiding from the nuclear bombs of the Space Fortress... The blade beasts will open up passages underground in advance, and then they will march on a large scale."
Sister Wan brought the freshly heated food.
Lingtong was obviously happier and lowered his head to eat in small bites.
Uncle Tai and Wan Xiaoqi were sorting their equipment in a corner, preparing for the next battle.
Taoist Wang muttered, "Why do I feel that these blade beasts are underground not just to avoid nuclear bomb attacks..."
"That boy did not lie," Ling Tong was busy eating, but did not forget to give Wang Jixuan a thumbs up.
Taoist Wang raised his eyebrows: "Then I understand. I will help him get rid of it later."
"Are you going to kill him?"
"No, his ability is rare. I want to save him."
Wang Jixuan suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He actually thought about using the soul-stealing charm to create a new body for the boy, but whether the soul and body can be adapted is a problem. Where can he find a fresh and uninjured body?
Kill someone for this?
That is not what an upright monk would do.
"I'm sorry," Ling Tong swallowed the meat porridge in small sips and looked up at Wang Jixuan, "I didn't know you had been abducted."
"Huh?" Wang Jixuan looked at Lingtong.
Ling Tong whispered, "We woke up the boy. He was in pain, but we briefly told him about the soul conversation he had with you. Only me, Zheng Shiduo, and Minister Zhou Meiying were present at the time, so there's no need to worry about leaks."
"This kid really can't hide things."
Wang Jixuan wondered, "Then why are you saying sorry to me?"
"I always thought you were a natural optimist."
Ling Tong looked at the food on the plate:
"If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me more when I'm free... This is the psychological care I should provide to the logistics team as a superior."
Wang Jixuan: ...
How come the Taoist priest was actually a little touched?
He remembered something, turned and ran to the corner, pulled out a piece of emerald green blade beast thigh from the refrigerator, turned and ran to the outer workshop.
Sister Wan asked blankly, "What did Xiao Wang do with a piece of Blade Beast meat?"
"Ok?"
Although Lingtong was confused, he had become accustomed to it.
“Sister Wan, don’t worry about him. His nickname shouldn’t be Black Storm, but should be… Incredible.
"Don't worry, he won't roast the blade beast meat and eat it."
Sister Wan heaved a sigh of relief: "Maybe it's something needed to forge the Demon-Breaking Dagger..."
Ding, ding, ding!
The sound of chopping frozen meat was heard outside. Wan Xiaoqi stopped his work and ran over curiously to watch the fun.
Soon Wan Xiaoqi screamed, "You can't bake it like this! It will explode!"
Lingtong dropped his chopsticks, turned around and jumped over.
As soon as she got here, she saw a magical scene:
Wearing thick gloves and holding a homemade iron skewer, Wang Jixuan strung together pieces of green meat the size of longan, placed them next to the furnace and slowly rotated them.
The meat made a sizzling sound.
White smoke rose from it. Wang Jixuan blew a breath and the white smoke went back into the pieces of meat.
The workshop was filled with the rich aroma of meat. In front of them, Wang Jixuan was relatively restrained. He did not use his spiritual sense to control the objects. He stretched out his arm to get the several seasonings prepared in advance and sprinkled them on the skewers one by one.
The aroma of meat was suddenly mixed with a hint of grass and wood fragrance.
Wan Xiaoqi swallowed his saliva.
Lingtong frowned and tilted his head.
After a few minutes, the green pieces of meat were gradually covered with a layer of burnt color. Wang Jixuan pinched off a piece and put it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, wisps of pure spiritual energy flowed into his body.
Wang Jixuan calculated in his mind.
It looked like ordinary barbecue, but in fact he was using Qi to harmonize the spiritual power within it and purify the extremely weak residual soul resentment in the blade beast meat.
This will consume your own mana.
But now, if he eats up the roasted meat, not only can he replenish the mana he spent, but he can also get a good 'reward'.
Spending time on roasting blade beast meat can increase efficiency by 50% compared to practicing meditation without crystal core, which is very cost-effective.
It's just hard to digest.
Taoist Wang exclaimed in admiration.
"good."
Afterwards, Wang Jixuan turned his head to look at the people over there who were already stunned, and walked over with the skewers in hand.
Uncle Tai and his family retreated quickly in fear.
Lingtong took the initiative to move forward and looked at the skewers curiously. She lifted a playful strand of hair beside her ear, lowered her head and moved closer. She subconsciously closed her eyes and opened her little mouth with a little water in it.
Wang Jixuan, who had already picked a piece of meat, felt a little embarrassed. Then he flicked his fingers and used a clever force to put it into Lingtong's mouth.
Lingtong took two bites, opened his eyes and looked at Wang Jixuan, with a cross star flashing in the corners of his eyes.
"good to eat!"
"Nourish, the key is nourishing! Don't try it yourself, it will be very dangerous."
Wang Jixuan smiled and said:
"This food is very helpful in strengthening your body and relieving the depression in your brain. Take it and eat it."
"Help me hold it. I'm still a little...uncomfortable with this kind of food."
"Okay," Wang Jixuan said, "Come over here, I'll get you some on the plate..."
The two of them walked to the table as if no one was around.
Sister Wan glanced at Uncle Tai, and the couple swallowed their saliva at the same time, and slapped Wan Xiaoqi on the head, one on the left and one on the right.
"Dad! Mom! Why are you hitting me?"
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!"
"I'm not dreaming," Uncle Tai raised his hand to support his forehead, "Teacher Wang is amazing. How did he do this? In the past few years, attempts to cook blade beast meat would cause a slight explosion and release toxic substances. The animals that ate blade beast meat raw in the experiment went crazy."
Sister Wan muttered quietly: "Compared to this, shouldn't he have just pinched it and fed it to Lingtong? He actually bounced it away... Really, this is outrageous!"
Wan Xiaoqi made a face and ran over to try the beast meat.
Uncle Tai groaned for a few seconds and said, "Honey, I'm going to take the senior nutritionist exam now. Can I get the third author's copy of the paper "On the Methods of Eating Blade Beast Meat"?"
Sister Wan: …
At the dinner table, Taoist Wang, who didn't care about the trivial matter of roasting blade beast meat, was already discussing the next course of action with Ling Tong.
"Is it enough? If not, I'll grill two more skewers."
"That's enough. I had part of my stomach removed. I can't eat too much. I'll eat next time. I'm going to investigate the whereabouts of the blade beasts and hunt for blade beast meat. I'll get you some crystal cores."
"Then there's plenty of barbecue... By the way, is there any more insulting gesture?"
"Middle finger?"
“It doesn’t feel insulting enough.”
"The thumb and index finger are going to be touching, with a three millimeter gap, and the other three fingers are going to be together."
"Eh? What does this mean?" Wang Jixuan looked innocent.
Ling Tong: ...
Just keep your head down and eat.
……
Two hours later.
The quadcopter parked at the military camp on the surface of the fortress had not yet been shut down.
Uncle Feng and his four men, plus more than twenty psychics who had been brought back, followed an old man and walked quickly towards the elevator in front.
The defense soldiers looked at the old man, the Commissioner of the City of Psychic Energy, with a little hostility.
The old man was very thin, as if he had a layer of skin wrapped around his skeleton, and there were several age spots on the back of his hands.
Although the old man's spiritual energy fluctuations are only slightly higher than Uncle Feng's, his status in the City of Psychic Energy is far beyond Uncle Feng's reach.
The three psychics he brought this time were all capable men with murderous aura and cold eyes.
"Commissioner Wei," Uncle Feng said with a smile, "The signal of Meng Caiyuan's nutrition warehouse is on the seventh floor of this fortress."
"Go straight ahead. If anyone blocks us, knock them out immediately. If anyone attacks us, kill them without mercy."
The old man said calmly:
“I don’t care what you did before.
"Let this be the starting point for us to restore our influence in the D5 war zone. If anyone fails to do so later, please go to the Judgment Department yourself."
A group of psychics were silent.
The elevator flew down quickly, carrying the old man to the sixth floor of the fortress, and then transferred to the central elevator on the seventh floor. The group of psychics soon arrived at the central hospital on the seventh floor of the fortress.
Uncle Feng was walking in the front, and was about to show off his powerful oppression as a B-level psychic on ordinary people.
The security team members in front saluted at the same time and shouted in unison:
"Welcome Commissioner Wei Linzheng from the City of Psychic Energy!"
Uncle Feng was slightly stunned.
No, they didn't have this attitude before! They were more arrogant than each other!
The old man smiled, nodded slightly to the security team members, and led them into the central hospital.
Several security team members saluted, turned around and left, and after taking a few steps they began to run faster.
Meng Caiyuan's nutrition chamber was placed in a corner of a ward and was soon found and surrounded by psychics.
Wei Lin was pushing through the crowd, holding a white handkerchief to cover his nose, looking at the figure covered by a thick quilt in the nutrient chamber.
Uncle Feng opened the nutrition chamber himself, and a psychic stepped forward and pulled off the quilt, and a spring doll popped out from underneath.
"Where's Meng Caiyuan?"
Uncle Feng glared and shouted:
"Wouldn't he die soon if he left the nutrient chamber? Search immediately! Search all places with medical treatment points!"
Wei Linzheng didn't care much about it.
The old man stared at the white paper stuck on the head of the spring doll. On the white paper was a little man wearing a black helmet... The little man was very lifelike, with his middle fingers raised on both hands, and swaying with the spring.
"Ha, childish."
at the same time.
In Lingtong’s supply station.
Wang Jixuan placed his sword finger against the boy's forehead and gently moved it outwards. Balls of black gas flew out from his fingertips and merged into the frozen blade beast meat prepared next to him.
