Chapter 422: The Mechanical Sect Enters, and the Canglong Temple Sets Out

This sound is very strange.

It was as if there were countless bees gathering together, and the buzzing sound made people's eardrums hurt and their hearts irritated.

But other than that, the black ship seemed to be dormant, without any changes.

Even Kong Xiangdong paid a lot of money to hire dead men to investigate, but they did not attract an attack from the black ship.

But this kind of calmness did not make Kong Xiangdong relax at all, but made him more and more nervous.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is by no means a good sign. It is most likely the calm before the storm.

Yang Zhan was also deeply worried about this, but he couldn't do anything to help because he could only ask.

"Does Mr. Zhao know the news? When can he come?"

Kong Xiangdong nodded, "He just wrote back two days ago and said that he is almost ready. He will set off on the first day of November, and he will arrive with us in about ten days."

"It will take ten days!" Yang Zhan was a little disappointed when he heard this.

"This is already the fastest result. After all, this time not only Master Zhao, but also many people from the sect have to come with him. This will definitely take some time."

"It's not that I can't trust Mr. Zhao, it's actually that there are fewer and fewer people here. If we continue at this rate, by the time Mr. Zhao comes, there may only be a few people left."

What Yang Zhan said is also true.

After all, not everyone has the same strong courage as Kong Xiangdong and others.

Facing this nightmarish black ship that stretched across the sky, many people could not bear the tremendous pressure and fled quietly.

At the beginning, there were only a few scattered people, but as we got to the back, more and more people escaped.

Especially after the buzzing sound started, there was a large-scale escape.

Kong Xiangdong turned a blind eye to this and allowed these people to leave at will. Even his own men did not have too much restraint.

Yang Zhan once asked Kong Xiangdong about this, and Kong Xiangdong's explanation was that at this time, there should be no need to use violence to suppress him.

Because of the uncertainty of the future, not even Kong Xiangdong himself knows what he will face next.

Not to mention these ordinary seafarers.

Therefore, Kong Xiangdong was not harsh on this, and even showed rare tolerance.

But the more this happened, the more worried Yang Zhan became.

Because this just shows that even Kong Xiangdong himself is not sure that he can survive the next catastrophe.

To be honest, after discovering this, Yang Zhan didn't think about escaping.

After all, as a tavern owner, he had neither responsibility nor obligation to accompany Kong Xiangdong to die here.

But later Yang Zhan gave up the idea.

Because he understood that if this black ship really came to destroy the entire Outer Land, then no matter where he escaped, the result would be the same.

So instead of hiding in a corner and dying cowardly, it is better to stand on the front line, so that even if the result is death, at least it will be a dignified death.

At this time, after observing for a long time, Kong Xiangdong took out a pen and paper and began to describe in detail the shape of today's black ship.

This is a habit Kong Xiangdong developed during this period.

All the subtle changes in the black ship will be recorded every day, so that when Zhao Ya arrives, this will be extremely precious first-hand information.

Yang Zhan accompanied him, feeling a little bored.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the base camp in the distance.

Yang Zhan was stunned.

In order to observe the black ship as clearly as possible, Kong Xiangdong would go to a hill about three miles away from the camp every time.

The view here is excellent. Not only can you clearly see the appearance of the black ship, but you can also clearly see the base camp behind you.

At this time, Kong Xiangdong also noticed something strange and immediately turned around to look.

"What's going on?" The two said in unison, then looked at each other, and then ran wildly down the mountain.

Yang Zhan was filled with excitement.

I thought it was Zhao Ya who arrived early with his people.

But when the camp approached, Yang Zhan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Because Zhao Ya and the others were not seen at all.

But the disappointment only lasted for a moment, and then both Yang Zhan and Kong Xiangdong cheered up.

Because although the visitor is not Zhao Ya, he is still a huge force.

After a while.

Jing Rou and Huang Liang came to the front of the team and saw Kong Xiangdong and others.

There was not much politeness or pleasantries between the two parties.

Kong Xiangdong also knew that the reason why these people from the Guan Sect were able to come was definitely due to Zhao Ya.

Jing Rou and Huang Liang's attention was entirely focused on the huge black ship in the sky in the distance.

Even though I had learned the whole story from Zhao Ya before and had made some preparations in my mind, after seeing the real thing, the feeling of oppression that came over my face still made even Jingrou and Huangliang hold their breath.

Even they are like this, let alone the other members of the Guan Sect.

Even this group of young people who had always been fearless could not help but fall silent at this time.

For a full time of burning incense, no one in the Guanzong said a word.

But soon, a strange look gradually appeared in these people's eyes.

For example, Huang Liang, the senior fellow in the Tiangong Department, was mumbling excitedly to himself at this time.

"How was such a huge black ship built?"

Tiangongke is skilled in construction techniques, and all the main buildings of the Guizong are made by them.

In addition, even the various instruments used by the Guanzong Sect were mined and forged by Tiangongke.

For example, the copper, iron and metal used by the Qiji Department to forge bows and weapons, and the saltpeter and charcoal used by the Leihuo Department.

It can be said that the reason why the Qiji and Leihuo departments can study mechanisms and gunpowder so unscrupulously is that their biggest reliance is the brothers in the Tiangong Department who are good at civil engineering.

As a person who has been dealing with civil engineering and steel all his life, when Huang Liang saw this huge black ship, his first reaction was how this thing was built?

Although the Jiji Sect is deep inland, Huang Liang has also studied ship construction and knows that this kind of steel behemoth can be sailed on the sea as long as it is properly designed.

The key is how complicated the casting process must be for such a huge ship.

At least Huang Liang can't imagine what means can be used to cast such a huge hull.

Unlike Huang Liang, who is obsessed with civil engineering, Jing Rou is also very excited.

It's just that his excitement is completely different from Huang Liang's.

Looking at the black ship, Jing Rou's brain worked frantically, calculating how much explosives would be needed to blow up such a huge monster.

And the final result was also amazing.

After a series of calculations, Jing Rou found that unless he could find a way to get deep into the hull, the power of gunpowder alone could not shake the giant ship.

But the more this happened, the more annoyed Jing Rou became.

He didn't believe that there was anything in the world that couldn't be solved by explosions.

So he began to construct the outline of the giant ship in his mind, trying to find its stress point.

The reactions of the other disciples of the Mechanical Sect were basically the same.

Kong Xiangdong didn't dare to urge him, so he stood aside and waited quietly.

He was like this, so naturally the others in the camp didn't even dare to breathe.

Finally.

Huang Liang was the first to react, and then looked at Kong Xiangdong and others.

"Sorry, we have never seen such a huge ship, so we lost our composure for a moment."

"You are too polite, please come in, the banquet is ready." Kong Xiangdong greeted very warmly.

Although this place is located on the edge of the northern snowfield, with the arrival of winter, the temperature here has dropped to the extreme.

Although the Jiji Sect had made some preparations before departure, it was still difficult to adapt to such extreme cold.

Fortunately, Kong Xiangdong was very thoughtful. A brazier had already been lit in the tent, and the steaming wine, meat and food made everyone who had traveled for several days relax.

During the banquet, Huang Liang and Jing Rou asked Kong Xiangdong many questions. Kong Xiangdong naturally told them everything he knew and presented all the information he had recorded before.

After reading these materials, Huang Liang and Jing Rou also fell into deep thought.

They naturally noticed the buzzing sound.

But they couldn't understand what it was for a while.

Fortunately, the black ship had no other changes, so the people of the Mechanical Sect settled down temporarily.

Their arrival also made the gradually deserted camp lively again.

Yang Zhan's hanging heart finally let go a lot.

The Mechanical Sect is a well-known large sect in the foreign land. Their arrival at least proves one attitude, that is, Kong Xiangdong and his men are not a forgotten lonely army.

Not only Yang Zhan, but also other people in the camp also smiled for a long time.

After all, facing such a huge ship beyond the understanding of ordinary people all day long, no matter how optimistic you are, you will inevitably feel depressed.

Now the arrival of a new force has greatly alleviated this emotional state.

The next day, the Mechanical Sect immediately began to arrange the defense line.

For this expedition, the Mechanical Sect moved out all the things in the bottom of the box.

There are countless new types of artillery and crossbows, and these things have greatly improved the sense of security of everyone in the camp.

Without Kong Xiangdong's instructions, these people began to help and couldn't let go of the huge cannons that exuded a shiny luster.

Despite this, Jing Rou, Huang Liang and others did not dare to relax at all.

Because the more people who understand mechanical manufacturing, the more they understand the horror of this giant ship.

So it is not too careful at this time.

Just when the Mechanical Sect arrived at the northern snowfield and started the preparations in full swing, Shen Yunshen, who was full of murderous aura in Canglong Temple, finally led the team back.

In fact, he was still a little reluctant, but because the departure time had arrived, he had to rush back.

When he saw Zhao Ya and Qin Jianji, Shen Yunshen grinned.

"Hehe, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission. I have completed the task you asked me to do."

In fact, he didn't need to say it. Just by the strong bloody smell on his body, everyone knew what he did when he went down the mountain this time.

Zhao Ya nodded calmly.

"Okay, have you used all the poison I gave you?"

"Hey, I was just about to tell you, this poison is really useful, no matter how arrogant the warrior is, he will become very obedient after taking this poison pill, haven't you seen those people waiting for orders at the foot of the mountain?"

Zhao Ya naturally saw it.

Since yesterday, people have arrived at the foot of Canglong Mountain one after another, and then waited for judgment like a bereaved family.

No need to ask, this is all Shen Yunshen's masterpiece.

"Okay, then after we set off, Elder Shen will need you to take care of it."

"What are you talking about, Master? How can you say that working for our Canglong Temple is a pain?"

"And these opportunistic guys really need to be taught a lesson, otherwise they really think that no one in the world can control them."

Shen Yunshen enjoys his job, and he doesn't care whether he will offend anyone.

At the same time, He Nandou and Shangguan Jianmei, who were guests in Canglong Temple, were also a little surprised.

Although they knew before that Shen Yunshen led the team down the mountain to deal with those disobedient sects.

But they didn't expect Shen Yunshen to come back so soon, and the results were so fruitful.

Although they were basically dealing with second-rate sects, they were able to solve them so neatly, which showed the strength of Canglong Temple.

Seeing that the first day of November was coming, Canglong Mountain became lively.

When Jiang Shengwu personally led the team and led the people of Wanghai Tower to arrive, people from several sects had already gathered at the foot of the mountain.

But when He Nandou and Shangguan Jianmei accompanied Zhao Ya to arrive, Jiang Shengwu couldn't help but regret it secretly.

I didn't expect that the usually reserved Tianyi Pavilion and Ziyan Chuanlinzhai would be so attentive this time. If I had known this, I would have come earlier.

If not for anything else, it would be fine even if it was to build good relations.

But it's too late to say anything now.

After Zhao Ya simply greeted the major sects that came, he already had a clear idea in his mind.

It was almost the same as expected before. In addition to Tianyi Pavilion and Ziyan Chuanlinzhai that arrived in advance, the new heavyweight sects were Wanghai Tower and Qingjing Zen Temple.

Among them, Qingjing Zen Temple came because of Ziyan Chuanlinzhai.

In addition, there were several medium-sized sects, and then some small sects.

As for the sect elders who were driven here by Shen Yunshen's poison before, they were not among these ranks.

After knowing what was going on, Zhao Ya stopped talking nonsense and immediately ordered the people in the temple to start packing their bags and then gather and set off.

Guo Luming personally went down the mountain to see them off.

Without much talk, Guo Luming just told Zhao Ya to act according to circumstances.

Zhao Ya also understood what his master meant. He was afraid that he would get too excited and not care about anything.

If things cannot be done, it is better to get out as soon as possible.

Zhao Ya just smiled and nodded, then waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

The team set out, and then ran towards the north in a mighty manner.

Guo Luming watched their backs disappear into the sky, and suddenly sighed in his heart.

I really don't know how many people who went out on this expedition can return safely.

Because they are all powerful warriors, the lowest of them are above the fifth realm, so the team's speed of movement can be said to be extremely fast.

Despite this, Zhao Ya is still a little dissatisfied.

At the current speed, it will take at least half a month to reach the northern border.

But Zhao Ya did not urge them.

He understood that although these sects temporarily formed a team, they actually had no tacit understanding with each other.

Not to mention that they could follow orders.

So Zhao Ya didn't say anything, but led the team northward.

Soon, they arrived at the first large sect they had to pass on the way north, in front of Wuliang Mountain.

This was also one of the sects that remained indifferent and even mocked after receiving the Canglong Order.

The AI ​​drawing is not very accurate, so just take a look at it. In fact, the black ship I imagined was much larger than this one.
