Chapter 782 To go or stay? 2
There is an island underneath, not a small island. Although it cannot be compared with Tianbao Prefecture, it has a radius of hundreds of miles. To the east is a row of mountains, which become flatter as it goes west.

There are already more than [-] people on the island, including the searchers who first discovered the island, and those in charge of exploration.All the people were waiting there to welcome Xuan Yuanzi's arrival.

After everyone had seen the ceremony, Xuan Yuanzi asked, "Have you checked this place?"

"I checked, this island may have been a volcano before, but now it has been extinguished for a long time, the mountain disintegrated and became this island." A middle-aged Taoist stepped forward to report.

"Is there a picture?" Xuan Yuanzi is used to talking while looking at pictures, which he learned from Xie Xiaoyu.

In fact, all the people in the Dunyi League now have a similar habit. No matter what they say, they first show the picture.

Someone next to him immediately took out a roll of blueprints. The ink on these blueprints was very new, and they should have just been drawn.

"This big piece is iron ore." The middle-aged Taoist pointed to a black spot on one of the pictures and said.

This black spot is huge. If the entire island were a big pot, the black spot would be equivalent to a large bowl in the pot.

"Old Yu dived down and looked at it. The lower you go, the better the quality of the iron. Almost all iron crystals below a hundred feet, most of them are ordinary iron, and there are also cold iron, soft iron, black iron and so on." Middle-aged The Taoist explained on the side.

Xie Xiaoyu squatted on the ground, and there was a pile of ore on the ground, with fresh soil on it, obviously just dug out.

"Overseas is really a lot of treasure land, not just one Tianbao state." He admired while turning.

"Is this island on that picture?" Xuan Yuanzi asked via voice transmission.

"No, absolutely not." Xie Xiaoyu knew what Xuan Yuanzi was asking. Li Subai once gave them a picture, which was drawn by the Taixu Sect over thousands of years.

"I'm afraid this island is too small, so it was missed." Xie Xiaoyu also replied through voice transmission. He had seen the surrounding sea area before landing. This is an isolated island. There are no other islands within a thousand miles. easily overlooked.

"Do you need to go down and take a look?" A short and stocky old Taoist next to him also squatted down, patted Xie Xiaoyu on the shoulder and asked. He was the old Taoist surnamed Yu who sneaked into the ground to see the situation.

"No need, Master Uncle is doing business, how could I be worried?" Xie Xiaoyu replied with a smile, he picked up a piece of ore and sighed softly: "The trouble now is whether to mine it or not?"

"Why is there any hesitation here? It will be several months before the confluence of the two fleets. During this period of time, you will be idle, and you can mine as much as you can." The old Taoist surnamed Yu said indifferently.

"That's true." Xie Xiaoyu perfunctory casually.

Xuan Yuanzi was a little moved. Although he brought a lot of things when he set off, he wasted a lot on the way. Not only Mu Feiqing was a little stretched, but Mazi's side was also the same.

This time the southern fleet stopped, in addition to waiting for the northern fleet, another purpose was to replenish supplies.

At this moment, there was a long cry in the distance, like the sound of a giant whale.

Xuan Yuanzi looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a wave churning violently. After a while, a white wave gushed into the sky, and then the white wave turned into a blood wave. Peaceful."

"Because of this small island, there are more creatures around. The island has been cleaned up by us, and the surrounding sea area has not been cleaned up yet." The middle-aged Taoist is in charge of this place, and he answered Xuan Yuanzi's question .

"Will it leave too many traces?" Xuan Yuanzi was most afraid of leaving clues.

"They're all just little demons, they can be killed easily." The middle-aged Taoist replied.

Xuan Yuanzi finally felt relieved.

"How are those spiders doing?" Xie Xiaoyu looked up and asked Xuan Yuanzi.

Li Subai forced him to go to the southern border, rescued more than a dozen Miao people, and finally got the secret method of raising insects. It has been more than half a year now, there should be some results, right?

"Are you planning to use those spiders to mine the iron ore?" Xuan Yuanzi's heart skipped a beat. He heard from Li Guangzong and the others that the first few soil spiders Xie Xiaoyu got were originally for them to mine.

Xie Xiaoyu nodded.

In fact, there are more than one way. Since this place was originally a volcano, it is completely possible to re-open the fire veins and draw the fire from the ground.In this way, the iron in the ore can be extracted directly, but this method is not efficient, it is too wasteful, and it will leave too many traces.

Xuan Yuanzi tilted his head and thought for a long time. He didn't care much about those spiders, so he didn't know much. Besides, he had to avoid suspicion, and he didn't want people to think that he was meddling everywhere.

"It seems to be a little rewarding."

Seeing that Xuan Yuanzi spoke very vaguely, Xie Xiaoyu said, "Forget it, I'll ask."

His body froze all of a sudden, his eyes lost focus, and his consciousness had left his body.

In the camp, his body came to life, and it was not Lao Luo that he planned to find, but Su Mingcheng.

Sensing Su Mingcheng's position, Xie Xiaoyu moved away, and his figure gradually disappeared.

In another place, at the corner of the lower platform, in the area where Miao people live, Xie Xiaoyu's figure gradually appeared.

Su Mingcheng had already been waiting there. Just now when Xie Xiaoyu sensed Su Mingcheng's position, Old Su had an immediate reaction, and immediately guessed that Xie Xiaoyu was coming.

"Why do you come here when you are free?" Su Mingcheng asked happily.

"I want to ask about those spiders." Xie Xiaoyu was not as free as Su Mingcheng, so he cut to the chase and got straight to the point.

"Those spiders? You are asking the right person. My wife is responsible for this matter." When Su Mingcheng mentioned his wife, his face immediately beamed with joy.

"I'm going to take a look." Xie Xiaoyu said.

Su Mingcheng was really looking forward to it, so he could take the opportunity to see his wife.

The place where the spiders were raised was in the extreme arctic ice field, not a short distance away from the camp. There was solid ice all around, and a beam of light shone straight down in the middle. The place illuminated by the beam of light was very warm, which was the place those spiders liked.

Only Yi Na and a few women are in charge of such a large area, and a group of children are helping. These are the survivors of the village.

What made Xie Xiaoyu feel weird was that spiders were crawling all over the children.

The five-dun spiders are silver, as if they were made of silver, and there are faintly colorful colors on them. These spiders are not. A skull pattern can be seen.

Xie Xiaoyu immediately paid attention to it. He looked at it for a while, and couldn't help gasping: "Binding the demon spider?"

This thing is also a prehistoric alien species, and its reputation spreads far and wide. Although it cannot be compared with Xuanwu, once the demon-binding spider has a large number, it can definitely run rampant.

When he was guarding Wucheng, one of the few barbarian kings he met last year had one of these things, which left a deep impression on him.

"Didn't you guess that the soil spider has the blood of the demon-binding spider? You really guessed it." Su Mingcheng said braggingly, it was his wife's credit.

"Do they have a secret method to purify the blood of monsters?" Xie Xiaoyu asked via voice transmission, but he didn't dare to ask in person for fear of being misunderstood.

"That's not true." Su Mingcheng shook his head quickly: "They are also a little confused. I don't know how they became like this? They just used the secret method passed down from the clan to feed the five-dun spiders, and some of them mutated into this."

Xie Xiaoyu frowned, and secretly calculated with the heavenly secrets, but this time there was too little information, and there was no result after a long time of calculation.

"Can this set of secret methods be promoted?" He asked again immediately.

"Half and half." Su Mingcheng played charades.

"What do you mean?" Xie Xiaoyu was not in the mood to guess the riddle.

"Half of it works, half of it doesn't. Everyone can learn the method of control, but the method of raising monsters and making them mutate can't be helped. We have tried it, and the people in several villages can't learn it. This must have something to do with blood. "Su Mingcheng didn't dare to tease Xie Xiaoyu anymore, he knew something must happen, so Xie Xiaoyu was in a hurry to ask for these things.

"Who first mutated these spiders?" Xie Xiaoyu asked again.

Yi Na pulled a little girl over.

"It's her?" Xie Xiaoyu was slightly surprised, this girl was the youngest among the group of children.

"How did you think of it?" He stepped forward, touched the girl's head, and asked softly.

The girl blinked and looked at Xie Xiaoyu. She still had a little impression of this man. This man saved her and her clan.

"I want to avenge, I want to avenge my parents, I want to avenge the people in the clan." The girl gritted her teeth and said, the more she spoke, the more excited she became, tears streaming down her eyes.

It turned out to be like this, Xie Xiaoyu understood a little bit, witchcraft and Shinto are very similar, both can use the power of wishes.

These few survivors were bent on revenge. Although they were small in number, their desire was extremely strong, and the power they gathered was considerable. In addition, the girl was young and pure in heart, so it was easier for such people to get the response of the power of desire.

Their wishes were answered, so these spiders mutated, and the blood of the ancient evil insects was awakened.

"How many spiders are there?" Xie Xiaoyu turned to Yi Na.

Ina looked at her husband.

"Not many, there are only two or three out of a thousand." Su Mingcheng helped answer from the side.

Xie Xiaoyu glanced at the dense spider farm.

Spiders don't eat much and reproduce very fast. In the past, Mr. Luo was afraid that it would be difficult to control them, so he didn't dare to let them reproduce freely. Now that there is no restriction, the number of spiders may have exceeded [-] million in half a year. There are only two or three, the actual number is definitely not much.

"After mutating into demon-binding spiders, are their fecundity still so strong?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.

"How is this possible?" Su Mingcheng thumped Xie Xiaoyu: "If the strength and reproductive ability are strong, how can other creatures live? Wouldn't this world become their paradise?"

"That's true." Xie Xiaoyu was somewhat disappointed.

He suddenly straightened his expression, and said softly: "I came here this time to find you, and these things will come in handy."

"Could it be that we are going to start a war with the alien race?" Su Mingcheng was nervous for a while. The alien race now is different from the alien race before the catastrophe began.

"How is this possible?" Xie Xiaoyu quickly comforted, and then he pointed to the southwest direction: "I found an iron mine in front of me. I came here to get these spiders there and let them be responsible for mining."

He lowered his head and asked the girl, "They should be able to understand some simple commands, right?"

"Yes." The girl nodded

"These guys are dishonest, they might just sneak away." Su Mingcheng quickly reminded.

Unlike insects such as bees and ants, spiders do not live in groups, but walk alone. They do not like to be restrained, and it is not easy to control them.

"If you run away, you will run away. Are there not many five escape spiders that we let go along the way?" Xie Xiaoyu didn't care.

In order to deceive people, and to make the Yaozu think that they were fleeing in another direction, they specially arranged a fleet to fly along another route with a large number of five-flying spiders, throwing a batch of five-flying spiders down from time to time.

The five-dwelling spider can go anywhere. Its body is as hard as iron and its reproductive capacity is strong. It won't take long for it to reproduce in the place where it fell. The surrounding monsters will definitely be unlucky.

When Xie Xiaoyu did this in the first place, another purpose was to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, so as to reduce the source of soldiers for the Yaozu.

"Since you don't care about these things, there is no problem." Su Mingcheng has done his duty, and he has already reminded everything that should be reminded: "When will the ship be sent over?"

"Immediately." Xie Xiaoyu is not impatient, but time is running out now. Before the two fleets converge, they can dig as much as they can.

On the other side, on that island, another Xie Xiaoyu had already awakened.

"It's done. I'll let Su Mingcheng get a batch of five-dun spiders to come over. I'll also say hello to Mazi. I'll drive two boats over. The rest is up to you." Xie Xiaoyu and Xuan Yuanzi each have a division of labor. The Miao people under Su Mingcheng, the group under Mazi's subordinates, the Buddhists, and the believers of Taiping Dao all belong to Xie Xiaoyu, and the others belong to Xuanyuanzi.

"I understand." Xuan Yuanzi nodded: "I will also send a group of people over. It shouldn't be difficult to control those spiders, right?"

"It shouldn't be difficult." Xie Xiaoyu didn't ask, but he was sure that those kids could do it, and there was no reason adults couldn't do it.

"Who are you sending here? Those disciples who have just been recruited? Or the original disciples?" The middle-aged Taoist reminded him next to him.

Xuan Yuanzi scratched his head, this is indeed a dilemma.

The newly recruited disciples are in the stage of washing their hair and cutting their marrow. Letting them do things is tantamount to wasting time laying the foundation.The original disciples had been practicing hard in closed doors during the journey, and because of the strong aura, the efficiency of their cultivation was more than [-] times that of the original ones. Half a year of hard training was equivalent to more than ten years of cultivation in the past, so most of them had already arrived The eighth or ninth level of Qi training is the time to fully attack the realm of real people.

The more Xuan Yuanzi thought about it, the more difficult he became, he couldn't help turning around and asking Xie Xiaoyu, "What do you think?"

Xie Xiaoyu didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "Just embarking on the road, the most taboo thing is that you can't settle down, so if I have to choose, I will definitely choose the original disciples."

"But they..." Xuan Yuanzi opened his mouth but didn't continue. After thinking for a long time, he finally came to understand: "It's okay, anyway, what is needed to communicate with the world is opportunity, not blind cultivation."

Either one or two, both options are reasonable, just choose one at random, there is no need to waste time on it.

"It's better to send more real people and real kings over here, let them work together, and mine this mine in the shortest possible time." Xie Xiaoyu threw out another suggestion, which will definitely make many people Secretly cursing advice.

"They may not be willing." The middle-aged Taoist smiled wryly. Don't look at the real person and the real king are nothing in their eyes, they have a high status outside.

When Xie Xiaoyu was exiled to Tianbao Prefecture, the highest status in the entire Tianbao Prefecture was only a few True Monarchs.

"What's the point of this? Wouldn't it be enough to find two more dao lords to set an example?" Xie Xiaoyu went a step further. He was absolutely sure of this. Dao lords were polarized. Some people had a hard time speaking, while others were just the opposite.

Now there is no objection. If two Dao Lords really have to be found to work, those Daoist and True Lords will have to work obediently even if they are unhappy.

The matter of mining was roughly finalized, and everyone began to plan. The old Taoist surnamed Yu sneaked into the ground again. Xuan Yuanzi took Xie Xiaoyu to a corner. He actually had other things to look for Xie Xiaoyu.

Because he discovered this iron mine, he had some ideas: "The rafts were built for emergency. At that time, the conditions were limited, in order to rush the work, and to keep secrets, so the parts of the flying sword boat were used. You once said , The efficiency of that thing is very low, have you ever thought about taking this opportunity to scrap all those rafts and build new boats instead?"

"Isn't this a pity? After so much painstaking effort, and now it has been remodeled, a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent back and forth. If you say it is useless, it will be useless..." Xie Xiaoyu doesn't like to be troublesome.

But what Xuan Yuanzi said made sense.

This is a moment.

The Northern Fleet used to be a burden, but now it is different. Since the promotion of Shinto methods, those billions of ordinary people have all become believers in the Way of Peace, and they have more or less mana, which can be used to promote super-large methods Array.

There have also been many achievements in sorting out and studying Taoism, including the use of super-large magic circles.

In the past, more than [-]% of the super-large magic circles were defensive magic circles, that is, those large mountain protection circles, [-]% were teleportation magic circles, and half were offensive magic circles.

It is different now, everything is given priority to the escape method, and there are already several super-large magic circles used in the escape method.

But Xie Xiaoyu still hesitated.

Mining is not a matter of a day or two, and shipbuilding takes longer.He worries about procrastinating too long.

Xuan Yuanzi knew what Xie Xiaoyu was worried about, and he had hesitated before.

"After the two fleets converge, they will not stop for at least five years." He reminded in a low voice.

Xie Xiaoyu pondered.

Xie Xiaoyu understands the truth that sharpening knives does not make woodcutters wrong. The voyage some time ago has exposed many problems. To build more breeding boats,

"Alright." He nodded and said, "Anyway, I thought about something when I was free, and it just comes in handy now."

"It turns out that you have such a plan." Xuan Yuanzi laughed loudly.
"I'm bored, just messing around." Xie Xiaoyu was also modest.This is indeed not his credit, he just started for a few years, and other things are handled by Tianji.

As he spoke, he swiped casually, and an image was reflected in the void.

Those are two ships, one is the Flying Sword Boat, but it is different from the current Flying Sword Boat, it looks much thicker, and there are thin thorns growing obliquely on the surface, which looks extremely hideous, and the shell is also densely covered with complicated symbols. seal.

Xuan Yuanzi could vaguely tell that those talismans were a set of magic circles, with functions of defense and movement.

"Is this a warship?" he asked softly.

"It's a troop carrier." Xie Xiaoyu replied.

"You split the original Taihao warship into two." Xuan Yuanzi immediately understood what Xie Xiaoyu meant.

Xie Xiaoyu nodded. At the beginning, he wanted to take care of both, but the result was not ideal. The one-time warship he created at random was a great success, which made him understand the benefits of being single-minded.

"What's the name of this ship?" Xuan Yuanzi liked it more and more.

Xie Xiaoyu hesitated for a while, he hadn't thought of a name before: "Let's call it Shaohao Warship!"

"That's right." Xuan Yuanzi would not care about these details.

He looked at the ship and nodded.

As the commander of the two fleets, he naturally understood where the weakest part of the fleet was?

He is not afraid of aliens chasing him, what he is afraid of is surprise attacks and ambushes.

When sailing, the fleet is stretched very long, and the distance between the end and the end is thousands of miles. Once it is cut off at the middle, those ships will be like clumsy hippopotamuses, and it is difficult to even turn in one direction.What is even more worrying is that they collide with each other. At the speed of the flying sword boat, they will be smashed to pieces when they collide.

If such a thing really happened, the only thing he could do was to abandon the ship, save the people, let all the people in the ship come out, and let those ships be attacked.

Now the problem is solved.

Since it is a warship, the defense must be good, and there are moving formations on it. When attacked, these ships should be able to move a short distance, which can not only avoid the attack, but also quickly form a battle formation.

This is actually the same principle as the flywheel.

"How much time will it take to complete all the renovations?" Xuan Yuanzi asked. Things are good, but if it takes a lot of time, it is useless.

"These armors can be built separately and then hung on the hull. They can also be used during sailing, so there is no need to rush." ​​Xie Xiaoyu had already thought about it: "What really matters is the other one, that is, the one you want. boat."

The other boat was used to hold people. It was still very flat, but it was much wider. The Sky Sword Boat and the Flying Sword Boat looked like a long sword, but this boat looked like a door panel.

"It looks like it can hold a lot of people." Xuan Yuanzi smiled.

"The key is that it is easy to make." Xie Xiaoyu also laughed.
