"ah!"

A scream came from the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion. After a moment, Hou Er walked out with a human crossbow soldier who had fainted and failed, and the soul trial failed.

Then, next one.

This is what Li Siwen has been preparing for the entire soul trial since the last time the Crow Demon Lord started the Curse Battle.

There are no more fruits available for advanced development, so I can only rely on this method.

But this success rate is a bit low.

40 heavy crossbowmen and 60 auxiliary crossbowmen can pass the level smoothly, less than one-third of the hero level advanced, but it doesn't matter, there is still time to start the expedition, so you can rest for a few more days, drink some fox wine and gentleman wine, and try it twice more.

This is how the soul trial is. Unless it is particularly awesome, they have to torture themselves again and again. Last winter, Lao Qiao tried four times, Daha tried eight times, Lao An tried six times, and Master Leopard tried twelve times. Isn’t it also awesome now?

The reason why we have to conduct soul trials on this group of crossbow soldiers and auxiliary crossbow soldiers before the expedition begins is that we hope that they can survive this expedition war. They are all just elite-level strength, thousands of miles of expeditions, and then there may be a terrifying battle. With more strength, we can have more chances to save our lives.

After a day's soul trial, 40 crossbow soldiers and 60 auxiliary crossbow soldiers successfully advanced to the hero level, only 28 people, less than one-third, and all of them were crossbow soldiers. The auxiliary crossbow soldiers were wiped out, which was terrible.

However, there is not no good news, because Li Siwen has now changed from a landlord to a prince.

This profession has two very good talents, namely, the probability of transferring a craftsman led by him is +20%, and the probability of transferring a craftsman led by him is +20%.

These 28 successfully advanced crossbow soldiers were originally the best among the crossbow soldiers, and they were very good in all aspects, otherwise they would not have had the chance to advance.

They were all snatchers when they were in Qingyun Town. Later, after months of training, they successfully became elite snatchers. This process is exactly what Yun Niang said, that is, training for ten hours a day for three months, and even a pig will activate the combat profession...

So this time, due to the talent attached to Li Siwen's royal profession, these 28 hero-level crossbow soldiers all turned 2 times and became Tianlang archers!

This profession is very powerful, including archers and crossbowmen. The specific feature is that the rate of fire increases by 20% to 30%, which varies from person to person.

Accurate increase of 30% to 40%, varies from person to person.

During the shooting process, there is a high chance of triggering wind chasing, armor breaking, bleeding and other effects.

There is one skill, which requires expending some physical strength to break the armor for Wolf Teeth, and turns the shot crossbow arrows/feather arrows into sharper Wolf Teeth crossbow arrows/feather arrows, causing a large amount of damage to the enemy.

As for Tianlang Sagittarius's transfer to another position, it is Yun Niang's Layer Sagittarius, but this process does not take five or six years, without going through hundreds of battles, you cannot kill and damage the enemy in many battles, and the most important thing is that if you cannot advance to the lord level, you will not be able to successfully transfer to your post.

Of course, if Li Siwen uses the power of rules to improve it, that would be another matter.

But his current rule power is only 18 points left, and he still has to keep it for Xiong Ye and Hou Er to advance.

Next, every three days, these crossbow soldiers and auxiliary crossbow soldiers will conduct a soul trial, and the number of advanced people will become smaller and smaller.

After three trials, a total of 35 crossbow soldiers successfully advanced, and 40 auxiliary crossbow soldiers advanced. Most of the former have been transferred to Tianlang crossbow soldiers, and most of the latter have been transferred to elite shooters, which will also allow them to have more accurate shooting and faster reaction ability when controlling giant crossbows.

More importantly, after advancing to the hero level, the attributes are almost twice as high as before, and a huge crossbow worth over a thousand pounds can be moved and controlled by one person.

At this point, Li Siwen finally received the news that the second wave of the Yin Feng Curse was about to break out. On that day, he led the main force of the Expedition Legion to set off in the wind and snow.

In addition to leaving the Ice Battle Camp in Wangyue City, there are only soybeans, Leopard 2, Xiaotiao, Xiaomao, Shitou, Niu Da, Niu Er, as well as the craftsmen and apprentices of the logistics camp, Lao A, Xiao Yi, Wild Boar civilians and 20 auxiliary crossbowmen.

As for the people who talked in the city, the two craftsmen from Leopard, Soybean, Xiaotzu, and Logistics Camp were responsible.

The defense outside the city is handled by iron eggs, iron balls and iron lumps.

As for the Wood Demon Basin, the main peak fortress of Yinshan and the Piaomiao Peak Fortress are responsible for the Dashu, Xue Laosi, Xue Da and Xue Lao San.

Starting from Wangyue City, passing through the cable canal, crossing Xishan Lake, you will enter the No. 3 Bread Mountain Group. This road has been cleaned up in advance and can be moved forward with light loads.

Because all the supplies, food and grass have been transported 600 miles in advance, and even the Huye and others have established a permanent transfer base a thousand miles away. In the past ten days, a hundred large trucks have been transporting the materials forward little by little.

So now, Li Siwen led the main force of the Expedition Legion to rush for 300 miles in one day, and successfully arrived at the grain transfer station 600 miles the next evening. That night, the second wave of the Yinfeng Curse broke out, which was more violent and powerful than the first time. Even if it was thousands of miles away from the Snow Mountain Pure Land, you could feel the power of the biting Yinfeng.

However, at this distance, the Yinfeng Curse will almost not have any negative impact on people. However, within 500 miles of the snow-capped mountains and Pure Land will definitely suffer.

Fortunately, before leaving, Li Siwen explained clearly that not only would everyone enter the city lord's mansion, but even the big horned deer and the wild bison should go quickly. Just be dirty, as long as you withstand the Yin Feng Curse, everything is worth it.

At the same time, all the big fireplaces were lit and the boiler was burning wildly. Everyone wore three-layer fur coats, drank fish soup and prepared fox wine. Such preparations should not be too serious even if they were affected by the curse of the cold wind.

On the third day, Li Siwen led the main legion with all the supplies from the grain transfer station and marched to a permanent transfer base of a thousand miles.

This is a big mountain with black peaks and bare, which is particularly conspicuous in this cold winter day. The tug of rivers is OK. The tug of rivers is not known for the time being, but when you look at it with your naked eyes, the part above the ground is close to two thousand meters, moving north and south.

There are seven peaks in total, rolling, with a width of hundreds of miles from east to west and about two thousand miles from north to south. This direction is consistent with the direction of the Snow Mountain Pure Land. I don’t know what story happened here once?

So after Li Siwen arrived, he decisively named him Daheishan~

The vegetation on the east side of Dahei Mountain is pretty good. You can often see sparse woods and low dead grass along the way, which is a characteristic of arid areas all year round.

But after passing Dahei Mountain, the front was twice as desolate as it was, and there were few dead grass, not to mention trees. According to Yun Niang, when she escaped from the City of Hope ten years ago, this place was still a grassland. In ten years, due to drought and rain, this place had degenerated into the Gobi Desert.

And from here, two thousand and three hundred miles ahead is the former City of Hope and the current Black City.

There are still several mountains near Heicheng. There was once a big river and two big blue lakes, but they gradually dried up and disappeared with the erosion of wind and sand and desertification of grasslands.

"Now that's the devil's territory!"

This is Yun Niang's comment. She actually couldn't understand the significance of Li Siwen's expedition, and even believed that the chance of victory was too slim. However, if she could defeat the Demon Lord of Black City and retake Black City, she would not frown even if she died in the battlefield.

“A day off here.”

Li Siwen climbed to the top of Daheishan Mountain at dusk, staring at the desolate Gobi Desert in front of him, and suddenly issued this order.

That night, he presided over the soul trial of forty crossbow soldiers under Yun Niang and forty auxiliary crossbow soldiers. As a result, this time, the number of people advanced was relatively large, mainly because these forty crossbow soldiers and forty auxiliary crossbow soldiers participated in the last southern expedition, and experienced fierce battles in the snow-capped mountains, and stationed in the Oak Fortress for more than a month. He was trained by Yun Niang every day. The effect was naturally not comparable to that of the crossbow soldiers in Wangyue City.

In one round of soul trial, 35 heavy crossbow soldiers advanced and successfully transferred to Tianlang Shooter, and 14 auxiliary crossbow soldiers advanced and successfully transferred to elite shooters.

This proportion of job transfers made Yun Niang stunned.

"I want to form a Tianlang Shooter Camp. These Tianlang Shooters are more powerful together, and their combat power can be increased by 30% on average. When I was in City of Hope, I formed a Tianlang Shooter Camp. Unfortunately, there were only fifty people. When they shot volleys, it was terrible."

"Of course they will be stronger now, because they all use Tiangong Heavy Crossbows and use stainless steel crossbow arrows! They all wear Tiangong Light Armor, and they are not afraid even if they are rushed to the fore by the enemy's melee battle."

Yun Niang was very excited and was also happy to see the hunt. Even the previous worries were gone. Li Siwen looked at her and nodded.

"Yes, but the remaining ten heavy crossbow soldiers don't need to be divided, you will be responsible for them all. Qin Shu, you go to the Giant Crossbow Camp to be the commander."

Qin Shu:...

The rest of the next day was naturally not really resting, so I only walked a thousand miles away. Based on the strength of 95% of the soldiers of the entire Western Expedition Legion were heroic, this was just warming up.

Li Siwen felt that this Dahei Mountain needed to be focused on excavation and utilization, and could even be used as a border of the empire in the future.

Of course, it was too early to say this at this time. At least he had to have a clear understanding of the mountain. How did he understand it? Of course, it was still to dig holes. Li Siwen was best at digging holes. With the night, he built five stone caves at different locations on the three hills, including deep and shallow, horizontal and vertical, curved and straight.

The final result was quite surprising, because he made a black top-grade stone vein, which contained 100% black grade stone, and even higher quality stones were possible.

"This Great Black Mountain is a story. It is likely that this place was once a pure land, and even the edge of the glacier land."

Thinking of this, Li Siwen took out the map left by the Five Dynasties that seemed useless to him. If it were not unexpected, this was a treasure map!

Because the Pure Land has its own world rules injection, the injection of these world rules will cause the quality of the land stones in the Pure Land to change.

This is why the number of stone mines is relatively small when the number of top-quality stones is mined in other places. When it reaches the pure land of the snow-capped mountains, the proportion will increase immediately.

It is equivalent to being shined by the rules of the world.

As the glacier land deteriorates, some of the abandoned land will be crazily exploited by the spokespersons of the mastermind behind the scenes, and become even more barren.

But there is still some abandoned soil, which has not been poisoned for various reasons.

Just like this Great Black Mountain, it is likely that it is a place that has been temporarily ignored by the masters behind the scenes.

"On the spot, rest for another three days!"

Li Siwen issued the order again, very decisive.

He knows how precious a complete, high-quality black stone vein is. He knows so much. It can be said that this thing is equivalent to a gold mine in my hometown in this world, no, a rare earth mine!

It was formed after the world's rules were implemented. It had no other function, but it could be used to communicate world rules. This is incomparable to other coal mines, iron ore, copper ore, etc.

As a lord, if you don’t understand this, it’s not unfair to lose!

Next, Li Siwen started a crazy excavation operation, but he did not release his calculus skills, so he relied on the hammer and chisel. He relied on his experience and did not rest for three days and three nights until he completely collected this black stone vein.

Great harvest!

This stone vein is simply too complete. It is probably because of the special deployment of the Glacier Pure Land here, so some world rules have been implemented, which has regularized this stone vein.

As the glaciers melted, the stone vein was silent in the mountains until it was discovered by Li Siwen.

In this black stone vein, medium-grade stone does not exist at all. If one piece is opened, it is the best. For every hundred pieces of high-grade stone, there must be a piece of black-grade stone.

Behind the mysterious stone, a piece of jade-like stone can often be produced, which is the jade-like ancient glacier fragments given to Li Siwen by the Snow Mountain Bear King, but that was just a fragment. What he got now is the complete rule jade.

The red ball can directly absorb the power of the rules inside.

Of course, Li Siwen would not do such stupid things as burning the piano and cooking the crane. This kind of rule of jade was formed after countless years of infiltrating the rules of the world.

In the end, Li Siwen obtained a total of four rule jade pieces, each of which was about 300 kilograms, which was more than five times larger than the one given to him by the Bear King.

A total of 34 pieces of Xuanpin stone were obtained.

Is it the best stone? It costs about 10,000 yuan.

To be honest, Li Siwen wants to go home with such a big gain, which is so exciting.

So after thinking about it, he directly smashed a level 5-level repair tower into this hollowed-out stone vein, injecting only 500 dynasty points, and there is no need for any repair structure array, because the geological structure of Daheishan itself is quite stable.

The reason why I smashed such a tower to repair the sky was purely to disgust the mastermind behind the scenes.

Don’t forget what is the biggest effect of the Level 5 Busing Heaven Tower?

That is - with the Butian Tower as the center, the space within a diameter of 500 kilometers will remain absolutely stable (that is, it will not be invaded by forced space, such as a meteor)

Have you seen it? If there is a mastermind behind this sky repair tower, it is impossible to smash a invading camp here, so they can only mobilize troops from a distance...

Now that Li Siwen has so many high-quality stones, he simply took people to the southernmost end of Daheishan overnight, found a hidden location, and smashed another level 5 repair tower to go down.

If you have the ability, come and tear it down! I promise not to stop it!

In this way, it is basically impossible for the mastermind to invade and airborne the area south of Daheishan Mountains, and the Pocket Plain to invade and airborne.

After all, this place was originally a mountainous area, with complex terrain and harsh conditions, so it was disgusting that the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to invade.

Now, we either come from the territory of the Yasha Kingdom, or we have to come from the direction of the Goddess Peak, or we have to come through the Black Desert.

No matter what, a lot of time will be wasted.

What Li Siwen lacks the most now is time.
Chapter completed!
