Gunpowder (Part 2)

What is a chaotic world?

Human lives are worth less than pigs and dogs! White bones are exposed in the Wilds, and there are no chickens crowing for a thousand miles!

"I just hope my speculation is wrong! But it's never wrong to be prepared!"

"Prepare early!" Zhang Chen scratched his head and slowly extinguished the lamp. What is most important in a chaotic world?

It's not silver, not antiques, but food and medicine, swords and armor.

"Saying more is useless. I don't know medicine, and there's that damned Fox Spirit next door. It would be strange if I could keep any leftover food." Zhang Chen cursed inwardly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chen got up early and went to the Ancient Tomb. His eyes looked at the Stone Tablet, and sure enough, he saw that there were round balls falling under the Stone Tablet again. However, this time what fell was red experience points: +100.

"One hundred experience points is not bad. One should be content." Zhang Chen picked up the experience points and muttered to himself.

[Name: Zhang Chen]
[1 Skill (Second Tier): Light of the Righteous God (0/5000)]
[2 Skill (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]
[Points: 1600]

"Today, I'll strive to get two thousand points!" Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger panel with both eyes. It seemed that digging four hundred points a day was not impossible.

Especially when he realized that the world was about to be in chaos, a sense of urgency rose in Zhang Chen's heart. If turmoil and war broke out, he might not be able to stay here and would inevitably have to run away to escape the disaster.

Of course, in Zhang Chen's plan, he also wanted to find a master to learn characters. As a modern soul, he knew that only by reading and writing could he travel the world. At least in the future, when he encountered some classics, he could understand them, instead of placing his hope on others.

Zhang Chen looked at the Stone Tablet, then took out the rabbit and Wild chicken he had hunted in the morning, and directly bled them in front of the Stone Tablet, letting the blood drip onto the Stone Tablet, allowing the Stone Tablet to absorb the blood. He was now completely relying on this Stone Tablet to explode with some other skills.

As for whether blood sacrifice would cause some strange and big trouble? This was the tomb of a true dragon. Would a true dragon harm a mortal?

"I am a descendant of the dragon. There's no reason for the ancestors to harm me." Zhang Chen's chisel sparked as he hammered it, and the frozen soil was constantly being chiseled open by him. Countless experience points were picked up by Zhang Chen.

[Experience points +8]
[Experience points +17]
[Experience points +11]
[Experience points +22]
[Experience points +37]
[Experience points +5]
[Experience points +4]

Time passed little by little. As Zhang Chen excavated, the experience points also accumulated continuously. Zhang Chen went outside to get some air three times. When he drilled out with the soil on his back for the fourth time, the setting sun in the sky had already deviated from noon.

[Name: Zhang Chen]
[1 Skill (Second Tier): Light of the Righteous God (0/5000)]
[2 Skill (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]
[Points: 1900]

"Today's points are only three hundred." Zhang Chen looked at the panel in front of him and couldn't help but frown. His goal for today was not achieved, and he felt a little hesitant. He looked up at the setting sun and finally chose not to continue digging.

"Can't rush! Absolutely can't rush! Once you rush, I'm afraid something big will go wrong. The things buried in this tomb are too terrifying. Although I am a descendant of the dragon, I can't stand it if the ancestors die and undergo corpse transformation! If the ancestors undergo corpse transformation, they won't recognize that I am a descendant of the dragon!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself. He always felt that this tomb was a little off, but he couldn't tell exactly where it was off, so everything was still based on stability.

Zhang Chen carried the soil directly out of the tomb, and then carefully sprinkled the soil around. After dealing with the soil, he came to the stream with a smile on his face and washed off the mud on his body.

At this time, Zhang Chen's legs were stepping on the stream water, and there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes, as if the stream water around him was incredibly smooth, as if it had life.

"A little interesting, is this an additional effect brought by Dragon Qi?" Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of thought, and then he gently stroked the stream water with both hands. He felt that the stream water was incredibly亲切 (intimate/familiar), that feeling was like returning home.

After washing up, Zhang Chen walked ashore, slowly changed his clothes, and then looked at the clear water surface with both eyes. Suddenly, he frowned: "Something's not right!"

Zhang Chen carefully walked to the stream and found that the stream was actually a palm's width narrower than yesterday, and the water level had dropped significantly. If he hadn't had Dragon Qi gathered in his body and was particularly sensitive to the water vapor in the world, it would have been really difficult to notice this palm's width drop in the water level.

"It hasn't rained for a month, right? But even if it hasn't rained for a month, the water level shouldn't be so severe, right?"

Countless thoughts flashed in Zhang Chen's mind, and various ideas flickered in his head, but in the end, he couldn't think of any useful clues, so he could only mutter: "Perhaps the weather is too dry?"

After washing up, Zhang Chen went all the way into the cave and began the great undertaking of making gunpowder.

In the future, when the world is in chaos, if he wants to have the ability to protect himself, gunpowder is absolutely indispensable.

Time flew by, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in a certain cave, Zhang Chen looked at the two piles of powder in front of him, a hint of excitement in his eyes: "This is the result of my hard work for a month! This is the foundation for me to settle down in a chaotic world! As long as the gunpowder is pure enough, even a Fox Spirit can be blown to death for you to see."

Zhang Chen looked at the two piles of prepared powder in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and his gaze was full of caution. This stuff was sensitive explosives and insensitive explosives, and a little carelessness would lead to a tragic accident.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen had already prepared. He saw him take out long, strip-shaped ceramic jars that he had prepared earlier from behind him. The ceramic jars were not very thick, only as thick as a two-kick firecracker in later generations. Zhang Chen carefully poured the gunpowder into those ceramic jars one by one, and then carefully sealed them.

These were not ordinary ceramic jars. There were also various iron filings, marbles, and other objects inside. Once they exploded, they would be a great weapon of mass destruction.

"There are twenty of them, which is enough for me to protect myself." Zhang Chen lifted the prepared underwear, and saw that there were more than thirty cloth pockets and straps on the shirt. Then he carefully stuffed the ceramic jars into the cloth pockets and tied them with straps to prevent them from exploding. He protected the twenty ceramic jars and left happily, walking towards the village.

He made up his mind that as long as he was alive, this gunpowder must not leave his body.

"I wonder when I can get the skill to control fire. It will be much more convenient to detonate the satchel then." Zhang Chen muttered to himself: "I also need to prepare some flints and make them into fuses. Then a complete satchel will be made."
