Chapter 92: Black Firearms Appear
Chapter 92: Black Firearms Appear
You Chen had already told the Soul Beasts how to become the Beast Leader long ago.
The first type has combat power of at least Soul Saint level!
The second type is to have at least the combat power of a Soul King and have made special contributions!
These two are the options for directly becoming the animal heads.
There is also an indirect third option.
This third option is related to the rules related to the animal heads formulated by You Chen.
That is, for the same beast spirit, only the strongest one can be considered the "beast head"! For example, for the same dragon spirit, since there can only be one dragon head, you must defeat the existing dragon head to take on the role of dragon head!
The third option is to exchange for the qualification to challenge the animal head of the same species after making a certain amount of merit. After defeating it head-on, you can ascend to the top!
This first option was actually the pie that You Chen painted for the Soul Fighting Beasts at the beginning.
Because by the time the Soul Fighting Beasts grow to possess the combat power of Soul Saints, it is likely that a full-scale war sweeping across the continent will have begun.
The second and third options are the real ways to get to the top that You Chen has given!
Needless to say, the third way to defeat the previous Beast Head and take the position is to stimulate the Soul Fighting Beasts to compete. Don’t think that you can sit back and relax just because you become the Beast Head. You must continue to work hard to improve yourself to prevent being caught up by latecomers and kicked down from the high position!
The second option is the route to power in the normal sense, but this route is firmly held in the hands of You Chen. Only those who are recognized by him can get to power.
The problem lies in this "special merit". First of all, what is "special merit"? This is something that You Chen can explain completely! In other words, whoever he wants to be promoted can be promoted!
Strictly speaking, many of the Soul Fighting Beasts' missions are no less risky than Ignis's time as a test subject.
But You Chen did not say that so-and-so had made any special contributions...
What really matters is when he gives a name!
If it was before obtaining the system, You Chen would not have given this name so quickly.
Because the Soul Beast's potential is actually higher than You Chen himself, he must firmly grasp the control of the Soul Beast in his hands.
Having suffered losses from the previous failed angel investment by Spirit Hall, even though he was their "savior" and had "given them a new life", the Soul Fighting Beasts' gratitude to him was far greater than that of the young talents of Spirit Hall, but he decided not to loosen the reins easily.
But it's different now.
His own potential and cultivation speed have far surpassed those of the Soul Fighting Beasts, so naturally he doesn't have to worry too much about the backlash caused by insufficient strength. Instead, he has to worry about their lack of enthusiasm, not working hard enough, and not practicing actively enough!
Otherwise, when I become a Titled Douluo, they won't be able to solve some small problems that I can't directly deal with. I'm afraid that in the end, there will be no beast soldiers or beast masters, and everyone will have to do intelligence and logistics work...
"No need to be impatient."
As You Chen's eyes swept over them, the Soul Fighting Beasts' restless hearts instantly calmed down, just like the musicians in an orchestra seeing the conductor draw a rest.
You Chen said calmly, "People who are too impatient will hardly notice their feet. They just rush forward recklessly and end up falling and getting bloody."
As You Chen spoke, the Soul Beasts seemed to have experienced the tragedy themselves and held their breath in silence.
"This mission is just a stage test of your practice over the past few years. No matter how well you do, it is as it should be."
——There will be no special merit.
After hearing such a metaphor, many people who were originally full of fighting spirit lowered their heads.
But then You Chen threw out a sentence.
"But don't worry, because I will be watching you."
This gentle voice suddenly gave them strength.
You Chen looked at everyone who had entered the state, and nodded silently: "Now, let's go. Unless something out of the standard appears, I will not take action." Just as You Chen had described when hunting for the fifth soul ring, the dangers of hunting for soul rings not only come from the soul beast itself, but also the chain reaction that may be caused by killing the target.
It’s just hunting down a soul beast that’s over ten thousand years old. Today’s soul fighting beasts can do it if they organize themselves.
But if you want to repel the soul beasts that may come in the form of 20,000, 30,000 or even 50,000 year level, it will be impossible.
Therefore, You Chen’s main job this time is to eliminate interference for them.
This is not a waste of manpower, nor is there enough time, but because You Chen thinks this is the most appropriate arrangement.
Because this trip is not only to obtain Ignis's fourth soul ring, but also to test the actual combat capabilities of the soul beasts, as well as... You Chen's third major research project, the inspection of firearms.
You Chen is a genius, but by no means omnipotent.
He had never been involved in the research of thermal weapons in his previous life, so he knew nothing about it.
And gunpowder does not exist in this world.
Starting from scratch is bound to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive project.
But a year ago, during Tang San’s second mission, You Chen obtained the “Celebration Fireworks”.
With samples and expected results, it was not difficult for You Chen to infer the manufacturing method of gunpowder.
As for the equipment that shoots gunpowder, it was based on the hundred Zhuge magic crossbows taken from Tang San.
There is no gunpowder in this world, and there is also a lack of research on mechanisms, or what You Chen prefers to call machinery.
After regaining his ambition, You Chen realized the potential of the mechanical hidden weapon in Tang San's hands.
Compared to the Buddha's Wrath Tanglian and the like, You Chen has always appreciated the Zhuge Divine Crossbow which can be mass-produced.
Drawing on the structure of Zhuge's divine crossbow, combined with Youchen's experience in researching and developing soul guides, and most importantly, gunpowder that amplifies its power, with Youchen as the leader and the cooperation of some assistants he selected and trained from among the beast users as researchers, the world's first firearm was born.
Different from the common firearms that shoot bullets.
Limited by the current level of development and the problem of gunpowder production, You Chen chose to retain part of the structure of Zhuge Divine Crossbow and made some modifications on this basis.
In the end, he used gunpowder not as a means of output, but as an auxiliary fuel to accelerate the shooting speed of the crossbow arrows, thereby achieving a power far exceeding that of the original Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
If the original Zhuge Divine Crossbow had the power to threaten the Four-Ring Soul Master, the improved Zhuge Divine Crossbow would be enough to threaten the Soul Emperor.
No, this obviously can no longer be called Zhuge's Divine Crossbow.
Black powder is one of the four great inventions of the ancient country of Youchen's previous life.
So he called it - black firearm.
The most original black firearm, the black fire crossbow.
And this black fire crossbow is the reason why You Chen believes that they are absolutely qualified to try to hunt down the ten thousand year old earth fire dragon with top-level bloodline.
