Crafting Divine Artifacts with Bare Hands

The comments from this small group of viewers who had been locked onto Zhang Guangmu's perspective for a long time stunned the other White Balls, who then began to ask questions.

"What's going on? You guys have so much confidence in this extra? Was he always this strong?"

"The subconscious can change. The subconscious of you now and you from a few years ago are definitely very different. That's why I never blindly believe expert comments like 'strong subconscious,' but... I will always believe in the power of knowledge!"

"Why are you suddenly acting so high and mighty? What does that have to do with the 'power of knowledge'?"

"Wait! It actually seems to have a connection... I saw this minor supporting character named Tian Guang rehearsing a scene with the plot protagonist Lin Xuan earlier. He slightly suppressed Lin Xuan, so I switched my perspective to watch him for a while and discovered that 'Tian Guang' was constantly reading."

"He's not just reading! He's also training beasts, tomb raiding, mining, doing experiments... In short, Zhang Guangmu has done many, many things."

"Knowledge is power, that saying is not wrong, but I always feel like this supporting character is a bit strange, different from how I feel about the other characters... Right! It's that super confident feeling!"

"Front row reminder! Pay attention to the gloves Zhang Guangmu is wearing and that small pouch!"

The Wolf Fortress Lord Lin Yan couldn't hear the viewers' conversation, so he was still incredulous about Zhang Guangmu's performance.

He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions slightly, then turned around and waved his hand sharply, "Turn him into ashes. I don't want to see him anymore."

Although he couldn't understand Zhang Guangmu's thought process, the world was vast, and there would always be one or two lunatics who were overly confident and courted death.

Lin Yan felt that his luck had been bad recently. First, he encountered someone challenging his position as the Wolf Fortress Lord, and then he personally cultivated a traitor. He decided to have his subordinates kill Zhang Guangmu, learn from the experience, and strengthen the loyalty of those war orphans through indoctrination from a young age.

To Lin Yan, any minor setback could be a source of experience and lessons. Accumulating these over time would allow him to gradually become a truly perfect "Wolf Fortress Lord."

Therefore, he never feared failure. Even when his reserve confidant, the Wolf Rider, turned against him, he didn't experience many negative emotions.

Lin Yan simply turned around, hands behind his back, eyes slightly closed, quietly waiting for the eyesore Zhang Guangmu to turn into dust, while contemplating who to arrange to kill Lin Xuan and that wolf cub with the strange bloodline next.

Bang!

Bang!

Flames roared, and waves of heat surged.

"Awooo..."

"Ah!"

The whimpers of the Flame Wolves and the screams of humans reached his ears. Lin Yan vaguely sensed something was wrong, his eyelids twitching slightly.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, only to see his two Flame Wolf Guards and their Flame Wolves lying in pools of blood, their bodies pitch black, white smoke swirling, emitting a foul smell of burning.

Sizzle sizzle...

A wisp of white smoke was swirling around Zhang Guangmu's gloves.

Lin Yan's gaze swept over them and he realized that the one who had attacked just now was not "Tian Guang's" Flame Wolf Bai Yue, but Zhang Guangmu himself!

I was careless!

Lin Yan's pupils instantly contracted into dangerous needle-like points, and he began to reflect: "This Tian Guang has never shown me the slightest respect from the beginning. Later, when facing my threats, he seemed fearless. Even so, I still thought he was just an ant that could be crushed easily, without me even needing to act personally."

"Now that I think about it, I was just being careless because I saw he was young and looked immature. I made the mistake of being complacent and underestimating the enemy!"

"Fortunately! This youth values his reputation and didn't seize the opportunity to kill me... No, that's wrong! I've seen many people like him who are self-centered. It's impossible for him to show mercy just because he wants to save face!"

"It's because my Wolf King Guard is by my side that he couldn't find an opportunity to strike!"

At this thought, Lin Yan looked at the Golden-Necked Flame Wolf beside him, a hint of gratitude appearing in his eyes, while also sighing: "As expected, only you will never disappoint me."

Zhang Guangmu looked at Lin Yan speechlessly.

He was a veteran Subconscious Actor, and like the "Newcomer Crusher" Zhao Zhengrong, he had the title of "Emperor of Reflection." It was said that in his early years, he made a comeback with the role of a dying king, gradually stabilizing his acting career.

When he first received the role in "Wolf Fortress" through Li Xiaoxiao's connection, Zhang Guangmu was a little excited, thinking that acting with veterans like Zhu Nanhua would force out his potential and lead to a more brilliant performance.

Now that he was actually acting, Zhang Guangmu realized...

The beauty filter perspective is the most detrimental thing!

Even experienced veterans have their own shortcomings.

Like the "Emperor of Reflection" before him, who dared to get distracted and think when facing a great enemy, was a typical example of someone who courted death.

If it weren't for the Golden-Necked Flame Wolf guarding him, Zhang Guangmu would have already beaten him to death.

The Flame Wolf Guards and their Flame Wolves on the sides died silently. Lin Yan's brows furrowed tightly, but as he looked at the Golden-Necked Flame Wolf beside him, his state of mind gradually calmed.

If his Golden-Necked Flame Wolf had made a move, it could have also won without injury, and even done better.

Now the key issue was...

Zhang Guangmu's Flame Wolf named "White Moon" had not made a move from beginning to end. It seemed to be confronting the Golden-Necked Flame Wolf.

How could such a young boy achieve this record?

Even if the two Flame Wolf Guards were useless and their combat power could be ignored, their two Flame Wolves were considered elite among wolves.

Let alone two Flame Wolves, even killing two chickens wouldn't take this long!

Lin Yan's gaze focused on Zhang Guangmu's strange gloves, and he said in a deep voice, "I think I understand."

"Your power comes from these strange gauntlets, doesn't it?"

Judging by the material of these gloves, they seemed to be made from animal materials...

Lin Yan couldn't analyze any further.

Lin Yan's gaze sliced through Zhang Guangmu like a blade.

"Divine Artifacts Conceal Themselves. Although its appearance isn't outstanding, it can grant humans strength not inferior to ordinary Flame Wolves!"

Exuding an air of superiority, he spoke with an imperious tone, looking down from his high position: "Where did you obtain such a Divine Artifact?"

"Hand over this item, and I can forgive your offense!"

Hearing this, Zhang Guangmu rested his wrist against his forehead and grinned, bursting into wild laughter: "Hahahaha!"

He laughed unrestrainedly, shaking with laughter.

"From a very young age, I've been pondering one question."

"What caused this Chaotic World?"

"Flame Wolves? Wolf Riders?"

"If I can find the cause, and then resolve the root of this Chaotic World, can we usher in everlasting peace?"

Lin Yan felt that this neurotic brat was deflecting, and annoyance flared. He gestured to his Golden-Necked Flame Wolf to seize the opportunity and ambush Zhang Guangmu.

Taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness, a decisive blow would kill him on the spot and allow him to seize the pair of Divine Artifacts. How perfect would that be?

Unfortunately, the Golden-Necked Flame Wolf, whose intelligence was no less than a human's, calmly shook its head. It indicated that although the Youth before them laughed arrogantly and appeared full of openings, he was actually maintaining a vigilant posture and offered no opportunity.

Zhang Guangmu didn't provide an answer but suddenly blurted out: "Human ability is limited."

"I've learned one thing from my short life...

"The more a person lacking power thinks, the further they stray from the truth, unless they possess power beyond humanity!"

Zhang Guangmu flexed his wrist, tilted his head to look at Lin Yan, and said with fervent passion: "Fort Master, after thinking, learning, researching, and experimenting, I have obtained power beyond humanity from the Flame Wolves!"

"Divine Artifact? That's not quite accurate!"

He raised his gloved hands: "These are 'defensive tools' that I made myself."

"As long as I have enough raw materials, I can make as many as I want!"

After studying all the books in Wolf Fortress, Zhang Guangmu discovered that a mineral called "Explosive Stone" was added to the rations of all Flame Wolves.

If certain Flame Wolves suffered from anorexia or were picky eaters and refused to chew and consume the Explosive Stone regularly, their fire-breathing ability would decline, or they might even be unable to spew flames.

Initially, Zhang Guangmu believed that the Explosive Stone might be a mixture similar to sulfur and saltpeter. However, he soon discovered that this stone was found everywhere in Wolf Fortress but was very safe. Its chemical properties seemed exceptionally stable, and it wouldn't explode easily. Even igniting it with fire yielded no reaction.

Zhang Guangmu firmly believed that "the reputation of a person precedes them," and the world constructed by the "Real Director" should, more or less, adhere to basic principles of deduction.

Hard work pays off!

After countless attempts, even venturing into the Wolf Tomb to steal Flame Wolf carcasses and clumsily dissecting several Flame Wolf bodies with his own hands, Zhang Guangmu finally discovered the secret of the Flame Wolf and extracted enough power from it!
