It was a poisonous netherworld scorpion that was three to four feet long and was as black as ink. It was a common predatory species in Nine Nether Abyss. At this moment, it was crawling cautiously on a strange-shaped floating mountain several miles wide. Taking advantage of the darkness, he tried to ambush some weak Demon Birds with only Foundation Establishment level strength for dinner. He seemed completely unaware that a powerful small warship was disappearing more than ten miles away.

Just when it was about to pierce the tail poisonous needle into the body of a Demon Bird and harvest the delicious food, Lei Dong, Xiao You and others seemed to appear in front of it out of thin air. Monster Beast's instinct made it immediately give up the delicious meal, and backed away in horror and madness, trying to retreat into the dark and vast abyss of void.

"Hee hee, what an ugly scorpion. I want to use you as a target, so you better stay and don't run away." Xiao You, who was already an intermediate Ghost King level, easily poked out a Netherflame Ghost Claw and captured the poisonous scorpion back.

The poor Netherworld Scorpion is probably a well-known little overlord around here, but in the hands of a being like Ghost King level like Xiao You, there is not even the slightest room for resistance. Fight. He was struggling for his life, with no possibility of escaping. The difference in strength between the two sides was so huge that it could be described as a world of difference. Finally, under the strong pressure and tyrannical power of Xiao You, the Netherworld Scorpion prostrated on the ground obediently, expressing his surrender.

Of course, no one would be interested in taking such an adult and unruly poisonous scorpion as a pet with mediocre qualifications. Lei Dong raised the gun with great interest, and did not use the spiritual lock to lock it. Instead, he aimed the scorpion with a realistic sight and pulled the trigger.

With a bang, a pale green Netherflame Bullet shot away. A distance of more than ten feet passed in a flash, and hit the poisonous scorpion with a bang. The impact of the specially constructed gun was very powerful, and it made a big hole in its back. The sputtering Nether Fire began to burn the poisonous scorpion's soul. The poisonous scorpion, which was in pain, could not care less whether to surrender or not. After screaming in agony, it tried to escape again. But before it could get far, it was captured by Xiao You again.

I saw Xiao You smiling and saying, "Sir, the Magic Tool you refined is really like a toy. It can't even kill a Golden Core level poisonous scorpion with one blow."

"It's so boring. I thought you had made something interesting, brother." Lei Long also yawned and said, "If I had known, I would have been used as a target. If this thing hits me, it will just scratch my itch."

"Well, the power is indeed smaller, but I guess the ordinary Foundation Establishment class may not be able to withstand this shot." Lei Dong has no idea of being disappointed with this gun. At least, the power of this thing has exceeded the real rifles of his era. Otherwise, it will definitely not be able to penetrate the hard shell of the poisonous scorpion. Golden Core level poisonous scorpion, how can it be a joke?

And this is still a test product. Lei Dong just wants to try the ghost weapon refining method to see if it can be used after forging it into various parts. It seems to have a good effect.

"Tch, what's the use of hitting Foundation Establishment Realm?" Lei Long felt even more bored. "Foundation Establishment Realm's enemies are basically ants. I can kill him with just one sneeze."

"That doesn't make sense to you." Lei Dong was too lazy to pay attention to him and just said, "The Magic Tool I designed can also be used by ordinary humans who have been trained."

"Sir, why do you think of designing weapons for mortals?" Xiao You said slightly strangely, "So what if mortals can use it? You can kill it easily with just one Flying Sword shot. It's useless even if you take this thing."

Xiao You's thoughts are not extreme, but very normal. But all monks, or those with some strength, think that they are in a different class from mortals. Even the little Qi Refining Stage Cultivator's attitude towards mortals is just to show off and make money, and he looks down on them at all. And the weapon-refining monks are refining At the same time as Magic Tool spiritual weapons, the first thing is to consider the use of monks. Magic Tool often requires spiritual thoughts and true energy to drive and control. It has nothing to do with mortals, and few people have always designed weapons specifically for mortals. Even if there are, most of them are just one or two, which are often regarded as treasures and treasured by mortal nobles and royal families.

But from Lei Dong's point of view, that's not the case. The most numerous people in the world are probably humans. The number of humans is more than ten thousand times that of monks. If an army of ten thousand people is equipped with this weapon and a city wall, it may be able to resist a small Beast Tide or the like.

This has a very positive impact on some of Lei Dong's future plans.

In fact, in the Dahuang Continent's Great Desert, it is not that there are powerful and active human monks who are trying to migrate a group of humans to establish a foothold and open up a brand new world. However, it is easier to build a city than to defend it. It is absolutely impossible to resist all kinds of with just a few monks. Beast Tide, mortals are almost useless in such a place. But when it comes to land reclamation, it is unrealistic without mortals. A lot of work needs to be done by mortals, and without the mortals who can continuously create "Spiritual Root", the new base area is like a rootless tree. It can be defended for a while, but not for a lifetime.

But Lei Dong, who has experienced the previous life, knows very well how much power can a mortal who is looked down upon by the monks unleash?

The structural system of this world is very unhealthy. Mortals and monks are almost divided into two almost incompatible worlds. The higher the level of cultivation, the more obvious it is that they are like two completely different races. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that they are exactly the same race. After so many years of development, the once weak human race has gradually occupied most of Jiuzhou, and its overall strength has gradually become comparable to several powerful races.

And Lei Dong, if you want to rise, it is not just about relying on personal strength, it is also very necessary to find another way. Great Desert, it is Lei Dong who feels the need to start The land that was developed and occupied lacked a large number of mortals, so it was impossible to gain a foothold, and it was impossible to talk about development. Therefore, being able to arm mortals and form a certain combat effectiveness would bring great benefits to Lei Dong's future goals.

Just imagine, if a team of mortal soldiers are equipped with weapons and defensive equipment, they can fight against Qi Refining High Stage, or even Foundation Establishment-level Monster Beast. So, what will the future be like?

Lei Dong is not just a full meal with nothing to do, but Devil Emperor that left Soul Devouring Pagoda to yourself, leaving behind inheritance and some memories of past experiences. It clearly shows how real the Three Realms are that have never really been revealed. Lei Dong has gotten to this point, and has gradually learned a little bit about the past from the secret history. The three realms are divided into the three most powerful races, namely Immortal Race, Devil Race, and Demon Race.

Among them, Immortal Race and Devil Race are both alien races. But Demon Race was the former ruler and actual owner of Jiuzhou.

Lei Dong, who has seen the power of High-ranking Devil Race, has always had a heavy stone in his heart. Maybe one day, the attention of the three powerful races above will be partially transferred to him. When the time comes, If you don't have strong power and force, how can you fight against it? Wasn't the predecessor Devil Emperor, who was as strong as Devil Emperor Sect and as powerful as a generation of tycoons, eventually killed by Three Races?

And he carries some of the relics and inheritance of his predecessor Devil Emperor. Although he has gained almost countless benefits from it, it has also tied a time bomb to himself. One day, this bomb will explode and his body will be wiped out. Under the strong sense of crisis, Lei Dong always feels the need to unite more forces and add thick trump cards to himself.

Developing Hidden Dragon Army, making friends with Earth Giant, and even training various ghost armies and refining ghost soldiers. They seem to be rudimentary, but they can become his help in the future. Otherwise, even if his personal strength is strong enough to reach the top level of his predecessor Devil Emperor, he will still fall when the time comes.

The countless mortals in Jiuzhou who are looked down upon by monks happen to be a super power that most people ignore and fail to utilize.

Lei Dong did not answer Xiao You's question, but continued to think about the shortcomings of this weapon. First, it is too powerful, and ordinary people who are not particularly physically strong may not be able to withstand the recoil. Moreover, ordinary people are short-sighted and do not need to shoot that far. At most, maintaining the effective shooting level of Li Xu is enough for ordinary people.

Come on, the rate of fire is too slow. After firing a round of Netherflame Bullet, it will take at least ten seconds to fill the magazine with Netherworld Ghost Qi again. However, Lei Dong is not in a hurry to improve. Nine Nether Abyss is very big. I want to complete it. The two established goals would be difficult to achieve without a few years of effort. Even the first stop at Styx, with the speed of the small Flying Boat, it would take at least more than a year to go all the way. During this period, it was enough for Lei Dong to design several weapons and gradually improve them.

Returning to Flying Boat, Lei Dong went into seclusion again. During this period, he and the weapon spirit went through countless discussions and overturned designs, and after a lot of experiments. Finally, a weapon named Initial-stage Netherworld Gun by Lei Dong was born., this is a weapon that even ordinary women among humans can use. The whole gun is forged from three ordinary Yin Soul. When not in use, it can be buckled on the wrist like a bracelet. If necessary, it can be twisted and transformed into a ghost gun buckled on the wrist in one breath.

The fastest rate of fire is one shot per breath. The energy source is Netherworld Ghost Qi. After being filled with Netherworld Ghost Qi, it can fire hundreds of rounds of Netherflame Bullet. After some simulations, a skilled soldier protected by defensive facilities can easily destroy a Qi Refining Stage with this ghost gun. Monster Beast. If a group of soldiers can easily defeat a Foundation Establishment Monster Beast with the help of fortifications. If there are a large number of soldiers, even if Golden Core level Monster Beast is eliminated, it is not a problem. Of course, huge losses cannot be avoided.
