2874 The blacksmith’s knot in his heart (1)
Due to the demons ‘attack on the city, the blacksmith shop had already closed down and no longer accepted orders to custom-make weapons.
However, the blacksmith didn’t stop. He continued to forge, and the clanking sound echoed on the street.
On the street in front of the blacksmith shop, there was a row of blacksmith furnaces, and all the blacksmiths in the city were gathered here.
Their mission was to provide assistance to the blacksmith and help him increase the speed of forging weapons as much as possible.
For example, the armor-piercing arrows had been changed to alloy casting. After a little processing, the blacksmith was responsible for the final step.
Any piece of ordinary iron would have magical properties after quenching by a blacksmith.
Before the creation of this technology, the defending Army had used armor-piercing arrows made by blacksmiths to kill the demons near the demon-eating city.
The armor-piercing arrows forged by blacksmiths were about one foot and three inches long, no different from the spears used by soldiers.
The surface of the armor-piercing arrow was full of runes, and there was a flash of light from time to time. One look and one could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
In fact, these armor piercing arrows should be called demon piercing arrows, and they had completely reached the level of spirit weapons.
The armor-piercing arrows were important military resources and were specially guarded by the cultivators of the discipline Commission. No one dared to touch them.
It was a waste to use such an armor-piercing arrow to kill a demon. Even after killing a demon many times, the armor-piercing arrow remained intact.
After on-site testing, even ordinary soldiers could use it to Pierce heavy armor.
In just one day, the city defenders learned one thing: armor piercing arrows were actually divine weapons, the kind that could only be encountered by luck.
Some martial artists did not have a handy weapon and wanted to use armor-piercing arrows as a weapon, but they were not allowed to do so.
Such a precious weapon naturally could not be wasted easily. Even if it was an armor piercing arrow that was shot, it had to be retrieved in time.
In the process of recycling, there would be a lot of risks, and it would be easy to be attacked by magical beasts.
Later on, someone suggested that they could make a batch of armor-piercing arrows of lower quality, the kind that did not need to be recycled after shooting.
Taking the initiative to request for the quality of the military equipment to be reduced was an outrageous request. It was simply irresponsible to the defending Army.
To everyone’s surprise, this proposal was approved by all the city defenders, and no one objected at all.
They all had the same goal, which was to take the opportunity to replace the original armor piercing arrows and use them as their own weapons.
This was especially so for the martial artists who did not have any handy weapons. They were like hungry wolves staring at fat meat, staring at the armor-piercing arrows in the inventory.
With the production of the armor-piercing arrows, the stock of armor-piercing arrows was finally distributed, which made the martial artists ecstatic.
Due to the large number of armor piercing arrows, all the defenders had an effective weapon in their hands.
It was the distribution of armor piercing arrows that had improved the strength of the demon Eater city’s Garrison. They now had the ability to fight against the demons.
The humans ‘own strength and defense could not be compared to the fiendish demons. This was the main reason why the fiendish demons suppressed the humans.
However, the armor piercing arrows used by the defenders could easily pierce through the bodies of the demons and cause fatal injuries.
However, if the illusory formation was removed and they fought the demons head-on, they would still not be able to obtain the final victory.
In addition to the weapon update, the blacksmith shop had also launched another product, which was armor made from demon skin and bones and refined iron sheets.
This kind of armor had a very strong defensive power. The sharp claws of the demons that could easily cut through human bodies could not damage it at all.
It also had a weakness, which was its poor resistance to shock, and its internal organs were easily injured.
However, if it was matched with the protective talismans produced by the blacksmith shop, it could offset the impact of the magical beast’s attack, completely making up for the shortcomings of the armor.
Due to various reasons, the production of this armor was not high. At present, it could only be equipped to high-level martial artists.
The martial artists guarding the city knew very well that if not for the special circumstances, they would not have had the chance to come into contact with such a treasure.
Because of the armor piercing arrows and the armor, everyone knew about the blacksmith shop and the ghost craftsman master.
In the hearts of the city guards, the blacksmith shop had also become a Holy Land, because they could find what they needed the most there.
……
Inside the blacksmith shop, the flames flickered continuously, but the temperature was so low that it made one’s teeth chatter.
The burning furnace fire had already turned a dark green color, and the terrifying cold air was emitted from it.
The green flame was connected to the blacksmith’s body, and it still circulated in his body, and then it was struck out by the hammer.
It was clear that the chill did not come from the fire, but from the blacksmith’s body.
His body, which was originally like red lava, had now become as green as water, like a flawless piece of cold Jade.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The blacksmith’s movements were quick and powerful. One by one, the rough pieces flew up automatically. After being hit and quenched by him, they fell into the huge pool next to him.
The thousands of armor-piercing arrows in the pool glowed faintly as if they were breathing.
“I can tell from your actions that you’re not feeling at peace right now.”
Tang Zheng was sitting in front of the table, playing with a crystal clear metal armor piece and drawing runes on it.
I’m just a little worried that this city will be occupied by magical beasts. After all, this used to be my home.
As the blacksmith spoke, the hammer in his hand did not stop, as if forging had become his instinct.
“The biggest difference between you and Liu Qing is that you have too many concerns in your heart. That’s why you haven’t advanced in your cultivation level until now.
If you’re so fond of the human world, I can help you and let you reincarnate.”
Tang Zhen picked up another metal piece and used his fingers to gently rub it a few times. The green-white metal immediately turned translucent.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the blacksmith’s movement of swinging the hammer slightly paused. However, he quickly returned to normal.
“Life is too hard, I can’t do as I please, I can’t even quietly forge iron.
My current appearance is neither human nor ghost, but it’s actually not bad.”
Tang Zhen knew about the experiences of blacksmiths. He had inherited the family’s blacksmith shop and was bent on restoring the glory of his ancestors, but others were coveting the secret techniques passed down from his ancestors.
He had been forced to escape to the demon eating city and was ready to open a blacksmith shop to resume his old business, but he was still tracked down by his enemies.
The enemy secretly poisoned the blacksmith and took away his family’s Secret technique.
To blacksmiths, the human world was extremely unfriendly, and there was no nostalgia at all.
However, at this moment, because of the crisis that the demon Eater city was facing, he had lost the state of mind that he had been maintaining.
Tang Zhen gave a hint, telling the blacksmith to understand his own problem and not let this matter affect his cultivation.
He was an experimental subject, and there couldn’t be any problems.
“There are two things you can’t let go of now. The first is to find the person who poisoned you.
I can tell you clearly that the enemy you can’t forget has already been devoured by the demons.
If you want to take revenge, I can help you capture the other party’s soul and let you vent your anger.
the righteous path sect your enemy belongs to has betrayed you and become the dogs of the evil path Alliance.
If you want to take revenge, just defeat him.
As for the second thing, it was naturally to defend the demon eating city and prevent it from being occupied by the demons and the evil way Alliance.
You’re actually afraid of the extinction of the human race. It wasn’t easy for you to master the skills passed down from your ancestors, but you didn’t have the chance to show it to the world.
I’ll tell you again, as long as I’m here, no one can destroy the demon eating city.
Besides this world, you have other places to show your skills and have the opportunity to let more cultivators know your name!”
Tang Zhen’s tone was calm, but the content of his words was extremely domineering.
Even when facing the monster race, the evil way Alliance, and the mastermind behind the scenes, he still dared to say such words.
This was because Tang Zhen had already healed the internal injuries caused by divine general youwen and absorbed the power of Whirlpool Lord’s origin source.
Without a sound, Tang Zhen had been promoted to a high-level divine general and had the qualification to challenge the mastermind behind the scenes.
If Youyou divine general dared to appear again, Tang Zhen would definitely let him know what a terrifying enemy he had provoked.
