Northward! Carve Flesh and Strip Bones to Mend the Mountains, Splash Blood as Ink to Paint the Rivers
Using the high-definition images transmitted back by Little White's " Eye of Observation," Wang Zhen directly activated his " Psychic Transmission " ability. His figure blurred for a few seconds before disappearing from the spot. At the same time, Wang Zhen's figure suddenly appeared at the location of the image transmitted back by Little White. After flashing for a few seconds, Wang Zhen stepped away.
" Psychic Transmission is indeed very powerful in terms of distance and doesn't cause much damage to the user, but..."
"However, while this teleportation technique is incredibly useful for traveling, it's unusable in combat!"
"During teleportation, there will be a five-second freeze, whether at the starting point or the destination."
"In peacetime, without any combat, this teleportation skill could allow me to teleport directly to Shu Region like this. But in combat, the five-second stun is enough to kill me countless times!"
Wang Zhen sighed helplessly as he thought about this teleportation skill.
With the Dragon Emperor absent, no one could discover Wang Zhen, who was deliberately hiding. Guided by the " Eye of Observation," Little White, Wang Zhen secretly entered the Terracotta Army's camp, subdued a soldier, and ran away carrying him.
Fortunately, he acted quickly enough; otherwise, the fact that Wang Zhen had abducted a soldier from the Terracotta Army would have been exposed!
It's only because the Dragon Emperor wasn't around that Wang Zhen, no matter how much he coveted these soldiers, wouldn't have dared to sneak into the military camp and kidnap a soldier, despite the Dragon Emperor's gaze!
Wang Zhen ran a kilometer away before finding the mark left by " Eye of Observation " Little White in front of an abandoned house.
Upon entering the long-abandoned house, Wang Zhen instantly set up several Transmutation Circle, placed the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " within Transmutation Circle of them, and then activated the " Eye of Truth "!
Through the " Eye of Truth," Wang Zhen finally witnessed how the technology of the extraordinary world was achieved thousands of years ago.
Unlike Wang Zhen's " Blood Red Sailian " Knight, these " Earth Fiend War Puppets " were not so meticulously crafted. They showed obvious signs of modification, indicating that the ancient supernatural beings used Tengge medicine in combination with the Witch Clan and military formations to easily mass-produce these soldiers.
This modification technology is more like a milder, lower-spec version of the Astartes Space Marine modification surgery. It does not require the implantation of superhuman organs; it only requires prior integration into their own bloodline. This allows these naive soldiers to use this bloodline-guided elixir to specifically strengthen their body's tissues and organs according to the guidance of their bloodline!
Although this kind of enhancement is far less precise than Wang Zhen's patterned modification using the Transmutation Circle, its advantage lies in its lower difficulty. As long as the commander's bloodline is integrated beforehand, it can be enhanced using elixirs, making it much simpler than Wang Zhen's modification technique. However, this kind of modification also increases the failure rate of these " Earth Fiend War Puppets ".
Unlike Wang Zhen's Phantom Knight modification technology, which first nourishes these soldiers' bodies to make them extremely strong and healthy before proceeding with the next step of implanting the Transmutation Circle modification surgery.
After careful observation and deduction, Wang Zhen realized that his Phantom Knight modification technology, once completed, would allow him to immediately engage in high-intensity combat.
The completion of the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " modification is only the first step. Next, the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " must constantly fight, continuously absorbing the blood and qi of war to nourish its growth. Theoretically, the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " can condense the bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but this is merely boasting. After all, the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the ancient Witch Clan were among the first beings after the creation of heaven and earth, born from the flesh and blood of Pangu, the creator of the world. They were born with divine abilities. Among them, Houtu, created the Nine Netherworld, the place of reincarnation in the underworld, while the other Ancestral Witches all perished. Therefore, if these crudely made " Earth Fiend War Puppets " could also reunite with the bodies of the Ancestral Witches, how much blood and qi and earth vein energy would they need to absorb?
However, this method of modification provided Wang Zhen with a good idea: adapt to local conditions and use the Infinite Terror: Death Alchemy G7 Coffee power of the story world to create these " Blood Red Sailian " Knight. There's no need to pursue perfection. In this way, he can greatly improve the speed and quantity of modification.
He meticulously examined everything from his toes to the tips of his hair, confirming that he had uncovered all the secrets of the " Earth Fiend War Puppets." Wang Zhen then quietly carried the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " back, put it down, dusted himself off, and ran away!
Using his " Psychic Transmission " ability, Wang Zhen instantly returned to the military camp. He then began brainstorming again, breaking down the technology of the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " and absorbing it little by little, integrating it with his own technology and knowledge.
In the days that followed, Wang Zhen recalled " Eye of Observation " Little White, while he himself transformed the " Blood Red Sailian " Knight into a Vanguard Camp. Then, he sent Xiao Shenke and the other two with Little White to attack the five Vanguard Camp on the right flank, sweeping northwards. As for the warlords, Nie Quanzhen was in charge of intelligence gathering and information verification. Anyone who was not human was made rich and powerful, and even those who were still considered human were stripped of their armies. They were either given gold and silver to live as wealthy people in Shanghai, or they were forced to dig their own graves and bury themselves.
As for those Jiaopenji and the like, Wang Zhen simply waved his hand. These guys had no reason to exist except in adult movies and anime, so he directly refined them into " Philosopher's Stone " to replenish the large amount of energy he had consumed earlier.
At this point, the " Blood Red Sailian " Knight had reached "Version 2.0," which incorporated the technology of the " Earth Fiend War Puppets." This allowed these crimson-armored Knight to no longer rely on the " Philosopher's Stone " as a battery for their regeneration abilities. Instead, they could directly absorb earth energy and blood fiend energy to drive their regeneration and repair their own damage.
This change did not significantly improve the Immortal Army's combat strength, but it did significantly enhance its ability to sustain combat operations.
Because Wang Zhen's Immortal Army has ten Vanguard Camp on each flank, and the " Philosopher's Stone " consumes too much of their resources, they take turns fighting on both flanks. Unless their heads are cut off, their bellies are ripped open, or their limbs are broken, Wang Zhen does not allow these red-armored Knight to use the " Philosopher's Stone " to regenerate.
However, now that the technology of absorbing the blood and earth energy of the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " to heal its own injuries has been integrated, the combat power of the Crimson Armor Knight has naturally increased dramatically!
With both flanks flying simultaneously and ten Vanguard Camp engaging in battle at the same time, their advance speed immediately increased!
Moreover, after conquering a territory Wang Zhen would modify and refine a special " Blood Red Sailian " to stay in the local area and guard his victory!
On this day, just as Wang Zhen was leaving Shanhai Pass, a vast, canopy-like tree suddenly appeared outside the East Sea. Ten golden crows were sleeping on the tree's dense and lush branches. However, the tree's phantom only appeared for a dozen seconds before disappearing.
To most people, this was just a beautiful and unique mirage, but in Wang Zhen's eyes, it was the Dragon Emperor finding the last piece of the puzzle he needed, the last source of the Five Elements!
"The Golden Crow is asleep?"
This is Fusang Tree!
"Wow! That's really something!"
"It seems the Dragon Emperor's luck hasn't faded; he's still incredibly fortunate!"
"However, even if you gather all five elements, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Wang Zhen glanced at the East China Sea, which had returned to normal, and chuckled to himself.
Wang Zhen certainly has the confidence to be fearless!
Although the " Earth Fiend War Puppets " had been infused with many other spells by the Dragon Emperor, their core essence remained unchanged. Therefore, after he removed all the fancy spells, what remained were the most essential abilities of the ancient Witch Clan warriors.
Wang Zhen needed these core abilities; the others didn't catch his eye. After all, he already had two versions of the Knight Modification Technology, " Led Mirage " and " Blood Red Sailian," and he really didn't care about abilities that weren't particularly useful.
"First, we'll pacify this northeastern region, and then we can march all the way south!"
"Just like back then!"
