Chapter 375: Chapter 375. Ruthless Rejection
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Fleeing in the face of battle, kill without mercy.”
The leading officer thought that Ji Shuisheng was a deserter and ordered his subordinates to come over and kill him. Just as he gave the order, he saw a shadow flying towards him with a sharp wind. Before he could react, he felt a chill on his neck and blood sprayed out. He fell to the ground.
Su Qing was dressed in white, like a flying crane. She flew past the Wan Family Army, and corpses fell off the horses wherever she pa.s.sed. They didn’t even know how they died.
After killing a few soldiers of the Wan Family Army, Su Qing flew back to the carriage and said to Ji Shuisheng,
“Let’s go!”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing proudly. His woman was a bull, and Xiaoying looked at Su Qing with admiration. Her beautiful big eyes were shining brightly. Even though it was not the first time she saw Sister Su Qing kill so cleanly, she still admired and envied her every time she witnessed it.
Ji Shuisheng took advantage of the moonlight to leave this dangerous area quickly. Deafening cries of battle rang out from the battlefield, and the Hu was surrounded by the Wan Clan Army like fish on a sticky board, waiting to be slaughtered.
Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing ran all night and arrived at Pearl Mountain at dawn.
Unlike the bloodbath in Jin City, Pearl Mountain was quiet and peaceful.
Ji Shuisheng went to turn off the mechanism and drove the carriage into the valley along the path.
Previously, there was no such path, so he could only use a stupid method to unload the car and push it into the valley. It was time-consuming and laborious.
Therefore, the last time Ji Shuisheng came, he had opened up a small path and set up three layers of traps to ensure the safety of the valley and make it convenient for the carriage to enter.
Xiaoying discovered this iron ore. Seeing so many iron ores dug out from the mine, Xiaoying was incredibly excited.
Qu Da was pleased about their arrival. He spent every day in the mountains mining and forging weapons. It was very lonely to be cut off from the outside world.
“Shuisheng, take a look. These are all newly forged weapons.”
Qu Da brought Ji Shuisheng to look at the newly forged iron spearhead. They would wait for Mo City to let them install the spear handle. Only the iron spearhead was developed here for convenient transportation. It did not take up much s.p.a.ce so they could get more.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Ji Shuisheng picked up the spearhead to test its sharpness and nodded satisfactorily.
While talking, they saw Su Qing take the fire pliers and hammer from Xiao Lu, who was responsible for forging weapons and starting forging.
The hammer, which was difficult for a man, was as easy as a toy for her. The rotation of the fire pliers and the hammering of the hammer were seamless. She looked like an old blacksmith who had been forging for many years.
“Su Qing is an all-rounder.”
Qu Da looked at Su Qing with admiration. Su Qing was the most extraordinary woman in the world.
Su Qing forged a new weapon according to the blueprint she had designed. Seeing that the progress bar of the mission was going crazy and the weapon was upgraded after being forged, the system’s emotionless congratulations sounded in Su Qing’s ears,
“Congratulations, host. Your forging has reached level four. Your physique, spiritual power, and war G.o.d ability have all reached level 55.”
“Reward.”
The system was trying to fool her again, so Su Qing reminded him coldly.
Seeing that it could not fool Su Qing, the system asked helplessly,
“What reward does the host want?”
“I want a device that can duplicate the key.”
Su Qing levelled up this time to duplicate the key to open the box containing the commander’s seal.
“Host, normal key copying equipment cannot copy the key you need.”
The system reminded her carefully, afraid that Su Qing would lose her temper.
“Then we need a device that can replicate it.”
Su Qing frowned. Didn’t the key copying device copy any key? Why did it not work when it came to the system?
Hearing Su Qing’s impatient voice, the system said innocently,
“Reporting to the host, the key you need is not within the system’s ability. That is an ancient mechanism.”
The system was anxious and borrowed the Empress’ cla.s.sic lines.
Su Qing’s face darkened.
“What do I need you for?”
“Host, please change the reward.”
The system reminded Su Qing aggrievedly,
“Host, don’t force me.”
Su Qing thought of stuffing the clay into the keyhole of the wooden box so that she could copy the lock inside and forge a key according to the lock. She asked the system for the clay.
“This is possible.”
The system’s voice sounded cheerful. Su Qing continued to forge expressionlessly. She had wasted a reward indicator and only exchanged it for a piece of plasticine. It was a significant loss.
“I’ll help you.”
After Ji Shuisheng finished inspecting the iron mine, he came over to help Su Qing.
“You light the fire!”
Su Qing didn’t stand in ceremony. Other people’s men plowed, women, weaved, and their wives sang along with their husbands. In their family, the women forged iron, the men made fire, and the wives sang with their husbands.
Ji Shuisheng pulled the bellows as he picked up Su Qing’s newly forged weapon.
This weapon was good. The spearhead was triangular and very sharp. It felt like this spearhead would have the function of bleeding people when it pierced them. Without blood, people would lose their combat strength. This weapon was simply a divine weapon on the battlefield.
Ji Shuisheng held the spearhead and said excitedly to Su Qing,
“Su Qing, this is good. I’ll find an animal and try it out later.”
The animals in the forest were trembling in fear. What a cruel human. Not only did he kill them, but he also bled them.
“Alright.”
Su Qing nodded and didn’t stop. Ding ding dang dang dang, ding ding dang dang dang, the rhythmic sound of iron striking rang out in the forest.
Ji Shuisheng asked Xiao Lu, responsible for forging weapons, to help Su Qing pull the pinwheel. He used the Luan knife to cut the spear handle and mounted the spearhead. Xiaoying had no interest in staying alone. She took the crossbow and insisted on going hunting with her brother.
The siblings went deep into the mountains and forests and soon brought back an elk drained of blood.
Ji Shuisheng was very excited and came to Su Qing.
“Su Qing, this spear is too useful. It will automatically bleed the elk when it is stabbed. The sharp tip of the spear can easily pierce into the flesh. With this weapon, you will be invincible on the battlefield.”
“Then take a look at this.”
Su Qing created a trident. It was different from the triangular shape from before. Su Qing designed it according to Erlang Shen’s weapon. It could lock the spearhead and clamp the steel knife. When attacking, there were sharp blades on all three sides. The sound of the clashing could disturb the opponent’s mind.
“This is good too.”
Ji Shuisheng took the trident and shook it. His eyes lit up with excitement as he heard the sound of metal clashing.
His Qing’er was a treasure trove that would always bring him surprises.
Ji Shuisheng had just finished praising the trident when the system’s announcement sounded in Su Qing’s ears.
“Congratulations to the user, forging has reached level 5, and war G.o.d ability has reached level 57.”
“I want the blueprint for the mortar.”
Su Qing was satisfied with her levelling speed. This time, she definitely could not waste the reward quota. She directly asked for the blueprint of the mortar.
With the mortar blueprint, she could make a mortar. She would be invincible when attacking the city with the gunpowder she made. The city wall would not be able to stop her artillery sh.e.l.ls. Even if she could not get the commander’s seal or the support of the Xiao Family Army, she would not be afraid. With a mortar, she would have thousands of troops.
Who knew that the system would reject her mercilessly?
