Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, almost everyone in the Sword Guardian Battalion raised their hands.
"I!"
"I'll do it!"
Let me try!
With the crowd so enthusiastic, Chen Mu decided not to call up any more people. Instead, he took out fifty Handheld Rune Cannon from his storage ring and divided the 359 people into eight groups for them to take turns experiencing them.
"There are too many people now, so you can use the virtual bullets to experiment first. Except that they won't explode, the virtual bullets have the same characteristics, so you can test them as you like!"
Later I will allocate a live ammunition quota to each of you for testing; you can decide for yourselves when to use it.
After Chen Mu gave his instructions, the cultivators began their experiments.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even in a mock exercise, the fifty Handheld Rune Cannon still displayed formidable power, startling the distant monsters and birds into scattering in all directions.
"This Handheld Rune Cannon is somewhat similar to the Thunderbolt Cannon used by the Imperial Army, but the Thunderbolt Cannon is bulky and difficult to move, and it is not as easy to carry as this."
Moreover, although the Thunderbolt Cannon's range is also about three kilometers, even well-trained artillerymen find it extremely inaccurate. However, this Rune Artifacts, with the help of the markings on it, can hit almost any target.
This design is absolutely ingenious! The talisman master who invented this Rune Artifacts is a true genius!
Within the Sword Guardian Battalion, there were many knowledgeable individuals who shared their observations with those around them.
"Yes! Moreover, the Thunderbolt Cannon consumes an astonishing amount of Spirit Stone, and the military is usually reluctant to use it."
Unlike this Rune Artifacts, we tested it with over a dozen shots, and it seems the Spirit Stone on it have only been used up by less than half.
Another elderly man also exclaimed in admiration.
"Hehe! I can already imagine the Otherworldly Demon fleeing in disarray under our bombardment."
I've made up my mind, I'm going to use this Handheld Rune Cannon! Nobody can take it from me!
A young man shouted loudly.
"Hmph! Look at your cultivation level, do you even deserve to use it? In my opinion, only cultivators like us in the True Spirit Realm are qualified to use such powerful Rune Artifacts."
Another man complained.
It took more than an hour for all eight groups to test the Handheld Rune Cannon, and everyone felt good about it.
"Alright! Now let me introduce another Rune Artifacts!"
Chen Mu took out Rune Gun No. 2 from his storage ring.
"This weapon is called the Rune Gun. It's mainly used against single targets. Its power is strongest within a range of 600 meters. Beyond that, its power begins to decrease, and its accuracy also drops."
Chen Mu gripped the Rune Gun and aimed at a large tree in the distance.
Bang!
A large tree in the distance snapped in response, leaving a huge gap where it was hit.
"I have sixty Rune Gun. Divide into six groups and all of you give them a try!"
After speaking, Chen Mu distributed the Rune Gun to his men.
Chen Mu slightly upgraded this batch of Rune Gun No. 2, so that it can directly use Spiritual Power as bullets. Its power is related to the user's strength, but it is at least as powerful as the Middle Stage of the Qi Nourishing Realm.
Chen Mu also left behind about three hundred Rune Gun No. 2. If used properly, these bullets could kill opponents at the General Level; they were Chen Mu's trump card.
Another hour or so passed, and everyone had tested Rune Gun No. 2.
After the experiment, the people of the Sword Guardian Battalion looked at Chen Mu with not only admiration but also a hint of fanaticism.
The Rune Gun was clearly a more ingenious design than the Handheld Rune Cannon, and with this weapon, their chances of winning increased significantly.
"Alright, lastly, I'd like to introduce you to my Rune Puppet Automaton."
Chen Mu took out a small, Rune Kui Automaton and showed it to everyone.
"Fu Kui doesn't need your manipulation; it possesses a certain level of intelligence. I will use it as a scout, for suppressing fire, or for covering the rear."
If you see it again in the future, just don't attack it.
After Rune Kui No. 2 was displayed, Chen Mu didn't say anything more and simply put it back into his storage ring.
Alright! You can continue familiarizing yourselves with the Rune Artifacts here for today!
I will leave the Handheld Rune Cannon and the Rune Gun here, and A Huo will lead you in testing them.
I will come over tomorrow afternoon to divide everyone into groups based on your test results and determine which groups will use these Rune Artifacts.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he patted A Huo on the shoulder and turned back to Broken Blade Mountain.
After returning to Broken Blade Mountain, Chen Mu found Mingye.
" Mingye, I'll have to trouble you to make this trip this time!"
I've almost used up all the Demon Soldier- grade magic cores I bought in the city last time.
Go to the city and buy some more for me, but try not to attract attention.
"Good!"
Mingye was very decisive; after accepting Chen Mu's instructions, he immediately set off.
The mass production of the Demon Core Bomb was Chen Mu's secret; he didn't want too many people to know, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
Although the Rune Artifacts Chen Mu showed to the Sword Guardian Battalion today were powerful, they weren't actually that exaggerated. In the Haotian Empire's army, there were weapons even stronger than the Rune Artifacts he invented.
What he feared was that the Haotian Empire would know the cost of the Rune Artifacts he had created.
The powerful weapons of the Haotian Empire are primarily supported by the materials used in the weapons themselves, as well as the powerful Divine Soul strength of the creators.
But Chen Mu's was different; his Rune Artifacts all took a different approach, utilizing ingenious physical structures to increase their power.
Using the same materials, the Rune Artifacts he created were far more powerful than Rune Artifacts made in the traditional way.
Of course, this excludes some special cases. After all, the Pan Emperor Continent is vast and boundless, and there is no shortage of talented people. Some of the rune designs are so profound that even Chen Mu finds them difficult to understand.
He was able to do this because of Rune Core's powerful computing capabilities and his way of thinking, which came from another civilization.
He added his own encrypted runes to all the Rune Artifacts he made. Anyone who tried to disassemble or crack them would damage the internal structure, so he was not worried about others seizing his Rune Artifacts.
His only worry was that the process of creating his Rune Artifacts would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
The Rune Artifacts now distributed to the Sword Guardian Battalion can be attributed to their master, Elder Ming, as long as the credit for these Rune Artifacts is given to them.
Anyway, he had shown the Rune Artifacts he invented to Elder Ming Elder Ming was very pleased at the time.
Now that he has created the Demon Core Bomb, Chen Mu has already decided that he can say it was given to him by Elder Ming, which will save him a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, once the technology for mass-producing Demon Core Bomb is leaked, many forces across the continent will see themselves as highly sought-after targets, and they won't even know where to escape to.
" Duoduo, could you please change the Spirit Stone in the talisman-making room for me? I need to do some experiments later."
"Good!"
When it comes to important matters, Chen Duo is very obedient.
She immediately took action, replacing the Spirit Stone in the talisman master's room to prevent the explosion inside from affecting the outside world.
