Commanding the Three Armies

The saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach," which fully illustrates the importance of supplies for military operations. In this Hundred Emperors Tomb, the million Zombie are all transformed from the soldiers who died in battle in the Six Nations. Since they even set up military camps, they should naturally have places to store supplies. With this in mind, Lin Tian from Divine Machine Valley secretly sneaked in, and sure enough, he discovered quite a few good things.

Originally, Lin Tian's plan was perfect. Relying on special Dao Item, he would infiltrate the place, steal the items, and leave quietly. Even if he was discovered, there were six Deity Transformation stage Cultivator who could work together to activate the Ever-changing Warship and escape.

However, plans don't always go as expected. While stealing supplies, they happened to encounter the Zombie General, who discovered them. One of the six Deity Transformation stage Cultivator was instantly killed, forcing them to flee on foot. There, they encountered Zhuge Xiang and Su Huayu.

"So that's how it is," Zhuge Xiang finally understood the details after hearing Lin Tian's explanation.

Of the six Deity Transformation stage Cultivator, one was instantly killed. Lin Tian and his Luck were truly unlucky. However, upon closer examination, even if none of the Deity Transformation stage Cultivator had been killed, the speed of the Ever-changing Warship would have made it difficult to escape the pursuit of that Hairy Zombie.

"These are some good things we stole from the military camp's warehouse. If it weren't for your help, we would be dead. I, Lin Tian, keep my word, so you can choose three items first."

After explaining what had happened, Lin Tian opened his storage space and laid out the items one by one. Good heavens, there were more than a dozen different things, including Treasure Artifact, medicinal herbs, and of course, mostly materials.

A dozen or so items were laid out in front of Zhuge Xiang. His gaze was first drawn to a dark red lotus flower radiating intense heat. It was a familiar lotus, and Zhuge Xiang picked it up first. Sure enough, it was a Fire Black Lotus, the most important ingredient for refining the Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine.

Aside from the Fire Black Lotus, even with Zhuge Xiang's Appraisal Technique, he couldn't discern any information from everything. He then took a piece of silvery-white metal, a material from which Zhuge Xiang could actually decipher information.

Deep Sea Mithril (casting material): Can be incorporated into all weapons. Possesses 15% defense penetration.

This is a good material. Its burst attack has a 15% chance to penetrate defense, which can be considered as indirectly increasing the weapon's attack power. Zhuge Xiang naturally took it. Finally, Zhuge Xiang inspected these items again.

Besides the Fire Black Lotus and Deep Sea Mithril, Zhuge Xiang could choose one last item. However, the remaining items were either useless to Zhuge Xiang, or he couldn't see any specific information about them, nor did Zhuge Xiang know what use they would have.

However, when the last blue, longan-sized bead came into Zhuge Xiang's view, it caught his attention.

Ascending Heaven Wood Bead (Special Material): Effect??? It is made from the branches of the Ascending Heaven Divine Tree.

Zhuge Xiang couldn't see the Ascending Heaven Wood Bead's function, but the description behind it revealed its extraordinary nature Ascending Heaven Divine Tree? Just the name itself suggested it was no ordinary item, especially since he couldn't see any information about it. It must be beyond his ability to Appraisal.

"Alright, these three are fine," Zhuge Xiang said, holding the Fire Black Lotus, Deep Sea Mithril, and Ascending Heaven Wood Bead in his hands.

Seeing that Zhuge Xiang had selected three items, Lin Tian didn't put them all away. Instead, he divided them equally with the other Cultivator beside him. Finally, he asked Zhuge Xiang, "Brother Zhuge, I see you've chosen a piece of Deep Sea Mithril. Would you like me to help you integrate it into your weapon?"

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Lin..." Zhuge Xiang could only forge and repair Treasure Artifact below the Two-Star. He was not capable enough to integrate the Deep Sea Mithril into the Mad Dragon Sword. Since Lin Tian had taken the initiative to offer it, Zhuge Xiang naturally had no intention of refusing.

"This Volcano should be a Volcano. There should be extremely hot Flame deep Volcano, perfect for forging. Let's go inside," Lin Tian said, taking the Mad Dragon Sword and Deep Sea Mithril from Zhuge Xiang and surveying the Volcano where they were.

"Fellow Daoists, Brother Zhuge and I still have some matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now," Lin Tian said to the other Cultivator, turning his head away.

"Well, then be careful." Hearing Lin Tian's words that he didn't want to travel with them, the Cultivator all looked rather uneasy.

As fellow Cultivator from Baiyan County, they still enjoyed staying by Lin Tian's side, but they couldn't accept being snubbed. So, one by one, they reluctantly said goodbye and left. In the end, all of the dozens of Cultivator left, leaving only Lin Tian.

"You? Could it be that you entered the Hundred Emperors Tomb alone?" Zhuge Xiang asked with some surprise after all the Cultivator had left.

The Cultivator on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking were all qualified to bring ten attendants in, but they all left, leaving only Lin Tian. No wonder Zhuge Xiang was surprised.

"The cultivation method of my Divine Machine Valley is different from others. It mainly focuses on making various Mechanical Puppet and casting. I entered the Hundred Emperors Tomb just to collect some materials. Why bring so many people in?" Hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Lin Tian buried his head and walked up the mountain, answering naturally.

"Your personality is quite free-spirited," Zhuge Xiang smiled, somewhat admiring Lin Tian. Although he was short, his cultivation was remarkable, and what was even more rare was his free-spirited nature and his willingness to take responsibility for his actions.

"Judging from your status in Divine Machine Valley, you must be someone important. Aren't you going to bring some Cultivator at the Spell Control Stage to protect you?" Zhuge Xiang asked, looking at Lin Tian.

"Oh? How did you know my identity in Divine Machine Valley was not simple?" Now it was Lin Tian's turn to be surprised.

"That Cultivator said you made the Ever-changing Warship. In Divine Machine Valley, someone who can make such a magical Warships is naturally not an ordinary person. Putting aside your talent, would an ordinary person have the resources to make such an Ever-changing Warship?" Zhuge Xiang naturally offered his opinion in response to Lin Tian's surprise.

"You are not only powerful, but even more terrifying is your wisdom," Lin Tian said, looking at Zhuge Xiang with astonishment. He then shook his head and sighed, before frankly saying, "Indeed, my status in Divine Machine Valley is extraordinary. The Valley Master of Divine Machine Valley is my Master, and I am his youngest True Disciple."

"I see," Zhuge Xiang nodded in understanding, secretly shocked. Divine Machine Valley was one of the Nine Great Sects of the Great Qin Empire. The Valley Master's True Disciple? This identity was indeed extraordinary.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

As Zhuge Xiang and his companions walked and talked towards the summit of the Volcano, they suddenly heard a series of whooshing sounds overhead.

Looking up, figures streaked across the sky; they were the pursuing Hairy Zombie. They had only caught up after all the Three-Star Hairy Zombie had been killed. However, they did not notice Zhuge Xiang and the others in the Volcano below and quickly flew past.

"I'll leave the matter of the Deep Sea Mithril to Brother Lin. I have some other things to attend to..." Zhuge Xiang said, watching the Zombie flying overhead.

Looking at the Zombie flying overhead, Lin Tian looked at Zhuge Xiang with some confusion. Zhuge Xiang didn't try to hide anything, so Lin Tian could naturally tell that Zhuge Xiang was leaving because of these Zombie.

However, he didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll have your weapon ready in about half an hour. See you at the mountaintop then."

"Be careful," Liu Rufang and the others said to Zhuge Xiang, and then continued climbing to the summit of the Volcano with Lin Tian.

After waiting a while, thanks to the effects of the Blood Demon Heart, Zhuge Xiang's MP had almost recovered. He then flew on his sword and caught up with them.

The reason for chasing after those Zombie was obvious: to test whether the Tiger Tally was truly effective. If it worked, escaping would be easier for one person.

About half an hour later, Zhuge Xiang caught up with the Hairy Zombie. Upon seeing Zhuge Xiang, a human, the Zombie bared their fangs and Zombie Claw and pounced on him like Hungry Wolf.

Secretly on guard, Zhuge Xiang took out the Tiger Tally from his hand and held it high.

Waaaaah...

These Zombie, who had been so menacing, stopped abruptly when they saw the Tiger Tally raised in Zhuge Xiang's hand. They stared intently at the Tiger Tally and then at Zhuge Xiang, their eyes filled with confusion.

Instinctively, these zombies knew that Zhuge Xiang was not one of their kind, but the tiger tally in his hand prevented them from acting recklessly. Although the Zhao state had long since perished, these zombies still considered themselves soldiers of Zhao deep down. So how could they dare to be disrespectful to someone holding the Zhao tiger tally?

"Do you recognize this item?!" Seeing that these Zombie were wary of the Tiger Tally in his hand, Zhuge Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

Seeing Zhuge Xiang raise the Tiger Tally and shout loudly, all the Zombie lowered their heads and dared not be presumptuous anymore, even the Two-Star high-grade Zombie did the same.

"Alright, you may all return to your camps for now..." Having confirmed that the Tiger Tally could be used against the Zombie Army of Zhao State, Zhuge Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then gave the order.

The leading Two-Star high-grade Hairy Zombie in succession, and then, leading these Zombie, they soared through the sky and flew back. In just a moment, not a single one of them remained.

"Indeed, this Tiger Tally is a good thing." Confirming that he could mobilize the Zombie Army, Zhuge Xiang happily put away the Tiger Tally and turned back, flying towards the Volcano.

When Zhuge Xiang returned, he didn't see Su Huayu and the others on the mountaintop. However, he heard the sounds of fighting coming from deep within the Volcano. Those sounds belonged to Liu Rufang and the others. Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiang's expression changed slightly; something had happened. (To be continued...)
