The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Although the Desert Emperor and his army of puppets were extremely powerful, Zhao Chuanxin was not easy to bully.

The remaining six explosive arrows were all missed by him, destroying most of the True Vision Crystals in the palace.

Zhao Chuanxin found a window and jumped out.

He stepped on the ladder and descended all the way at an altitude of more than 20 meters.

As soon as he stepped onto the ground, he was immediately surrounded by puppet soldiers in the city.

Zhao Chuanxin was so anxious that he took out the book, looked down at it, and said to the mourning soul: "The puppet soldiers can't see you, please help me block it for two minutes."

However……

The invisible mourning soul was discovered by the puppet soldiers at a glance, and was beheaded before he arrived.

True seeing crystal, you can really see.

Zhao Chuanxin doubted whether the Shadow Cloak could hide the True Sight Crystal.

The mourning spirit returned to Zhao Chuanxin and said, "No, they can see me."

I don't know if it was injured.

Zhao Chuanxin quickly flipped through the book and found a page about the den of stolen goods. He glanced at the map and said, "Let's go!"

Because he remembered that the craftsmen had said before that the Blood and Sweat Stolen Cave was a place where even desert emperors did not dare to act recklessly. It was very mysterious. Since the Desert Emperor wanted him throughout the city, he had no choice but to go there and hide.

Zhao Chuanxin looked back and fired a shot at the pursuing puppet soldiers.

The puppet soldiers cover their eyes with their arms and react extremely quickly.

When a puppet soldier was shot in the eye, all the puppet soldiers in the city knew how powerful Zhao Chuanxin's pistol was, and there was some close connection between them and the Desert Emperor.

Zhao Chuanxin galloped on the Misty Traveler, drifting through the crowd.

Although the puppet soldiers are fast, they are not as fast as the Misty Travelers.

But because the whole city is covered with "eyes" and there are enough puppet soldiers, they can always find a way to chase and intercept them.

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth: "You think you can stop me?"

He jumped up and went to the top of the building.

The puppet soldier's explosive power was so strong that he also jumped up. Zhao Chuanxin's pupils shrank when he saw it.

They don't have violent armor or smart gyroscopes, which only shows that their strength and explosive power are amazing.

Ball No. 13 was thrown out by Zhao Chuanxin.

DuangDuangDuang…

Ejecting continuously, extremely fast.

The puppet soldiers were just guarding against Zhao Chuanxin's guns and lacked understanding of No. 13 ball, so they fell into the trap.

Click, click, click...

It actually shattered the eyes of five puppet soldiers in a row.

Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed.

The more means, the better. The numbness makes it impossible for you to guard against them.

However, when he threw the No. 13 ball for the second time, the puppet soldiers pressed their arms tightly against their eyes, causing the No. 13 ball to miss their eyes.

Zhao Chuanxin reached out to catch the ball and threw the ladder across the entire street. The pursuers behind him had no choice but to jump off the roof and pursue him in the street.

Finally, we arrived at the location of the sweat-stained den.

It's too conspicuous.

The whole city is made of houses made of sand, but this building is made entirely of blue stone and is extremely conspicuous.

He pushed open the door and got in.

A puppet soldier followed inertly, holding a light knife and wanting to chop.

Zhao Chuanxin was about to dodge, when the air seemed to deform and fluctuate, and it seemed to be Zhao Chuanxin's hallucination.

The solid puppet soldiers instantly melted away.

It was as if the ice had melted and spread all over the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin's scalp felt numb - what happened?

He looked around and saw that this was an equally empty hall.

In the corner of the hall huddled a group of people in ragged clothes, with disheveled beards and hair, exuding a bad smell. Some of them were skinny and sallow, obviously malnourished.

Was it one of them who just took action?

No matter how you look at it, these beggars and tramps don't look like masters like Hong Qigong?

If you don’t understand, ask: “Masters, how did you do it?”

I have never heard of any weapon that melts people or objects.

One of them, an old man with a slightly rosy complexion but white beard and hair, sarcastically said: "No one will help you. If you dare to hurt anyone here, you will die!"

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

What's the meaning?

Can't fight here?

He thought thoughtfully and immediately put away his weapon.

He didn't want to turn into a puddle of blood.

Not long after, a soldier entered the hall and said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Fearless Pioneer, His Majesty said that I will give you two ways. The first is to hand over the glass and be captured without mercy. Your Majesty will let your friends go; the second is, Your friends will all die, and you will starve to death here, because as long as you go out, there will be an endless army of puppets waiting for you."

Zhao Chuanxin was so anxious that he couldn't help but take out his gun and kill this idiot.

How dare you threaten him?

But just think about it.

He wanted to be tough, but then he thought again and grinned: "You caught my friend?"

Sand Soldier: "Sooner or later we will catch you, they can't run away."

When the time came, Zhao Chuanxin exited the state and immediately reopened the Holy Light Channel.

He snapped his fingers and said, "In that case, let's wait and talk."

The soldiers were stunned.

Wait... let's talk again?

Zhao Chuanxin sneered.

Even though the elf scout has a pretty face, he is an old guy who has lived for who knows how many years. He has many ways to get under the box, so it is strange that he can catch it easily.

The brother and sister are a little weaker, but their greatest ability is survival. "I" died several times in the past, but the brother and sister are still alive and well.

Only craftsmen seem to be nothing.

The most important thing is that if the Desert Emperor wants to threaten him, he will not hurt them.

If they are really caught, Zhao Chuanxin can exchange "me" for them to escape. At worst, they will have to live for one year to be reborn. As long as they are not guarded, it won't be a big problem.

If you figure this out, you will be confident.

The sand soldiers silently exited.

The old man stretched his legs and leaned against the wall, and said jokingly: "You are very calm."

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes, walked over and sat down next to the old man, and said firmly: "It's just a break. The donkeys in the production team have to rest for two hours before working. I'll make the Desert Emperor look good later." "

Old man: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin flipped his palm and handed an extra piece of bread to the old man: "Here, you are all so hungry that your chests are touching your backs, so I will give this bread to you as my friendship."

The eyes of the people around were red, but they were stunned and did not dare to step forward to snatch it.

It seems that Zhao Chuanxin is not the only one who is worried about turning into a pool of blood.

The old man was stunned: "You...did you know that once you come in, you can't even think about going out? Anyone who takes refuge here has offended the Desert Emperor! Food and water are the most precious here."

Zhao Chuanxin shrugged: "It's harmful. Being happy alone is not as good as being happy together. So what if you live one more day and one less day?"

He has proven that except for no messing around here, everything else is allowed.

Let alone a few days, living a lifetime is very simple.

The old man devoured the food and rolled his eyes while choking.

Zhao Chuanxin quickly took out another water bottle and handed it to him: "Drink some water, don't choke to death."

The old man took it easy and didn't say thank you. After finishing the meal, he said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Since you are so kind, I will repay you and tell you the rules here. First of all, you can't fight with your hands, nor can you fight. , you have to endure your anger, even if you are as powerful as the emperor, you don’t dare to come in and fight. Secondly, you have to poop and pee in the bucket over there, and the dirt has to be spilled outside. Of course, there will be cleaners from Rune City to clean it, otherwise You will also be killed by the blood and sweat."

Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Why is it called the Sweat and Sweat Stolen Cave?"

The old man said: "The blood and sweat and the stolen goods are actually separate. A long time ago, such a building suddenly appeared in the City of Rune. As time passed, everyone found that they could not fight here, so it naturally became a refuge. Do you see that wall? Someone threw a gold coin into it, and an iron lump came out. If you throw something valuable into it, the wall will always spit out something else. So people say it eats up hard-earned money. The reason for selling stolen goods is because someone stole it. If a gemstone is thrown in and another gemstone of low value comes out, it is regarded as the stolen goods. Although it is not that valuable, it can be sold openly, so it is called the stolen goods cave."

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised.

He stood up and walked towards the wall, took out a piece of ocean and threw it in.

As a result, it looked clearly like a wall, but the ocean seemed to be thrown into the water, causing ripples.

A skull of an unknown creature spit out from the center of the ripples. The skull is about the size of a fist, has strong teeth, protruding ear bones, and seems to have a horn on its forehead.

He picked up the skull and looked at it, then returned and handed it to the old man: "What kind of animal is this?"

The old man shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. But this is a common thing. Maybe it is a creature from another world."

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth, not knowing whether the other world he was talking about was another continent or another world in the true sense.

After all, people here call Middle-earth Middle-earth.

He didn't believe in evil, so he threw another piece of ocean into it.

What came out this time was a stone.

It looks unremarkable.

The Dragon Capturing Ring that Zhao Chuanxin had broken before was thrown into the wall by him.

This time a piece of dead wood was spit out from the ripples.

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head.

He took out the Daliba and was about to throw it in when he heard a cry from behind: "No..."

However, Zhao Chuanxin still threw it in.

This time the ripples spit out a palm-sized piece of cake?

Zhao Chuanxin didn't dare to eat it, so he held up the pancake and asked, "Is there any brave man who dares to try it?"

blanch, everyone is so hungry that stars are shining in their eyes, who the hell is picky?

All warriors: "I'll eat it!"

Zhao Chuanxin was given to the thinnest person.

He devoured it hungrily, and after eating, his face showed a satisfied expression as if he had eaten a full meal.

Even Zhao Chuanxin was deeply moved after seeing it.

I have never seen such a satisfied expression!

This man did not die from poisoning. He just dug his teeth and muttered: "It's such a big piece, and it's just a small piece. It's really a hole for swallowing blood and sweat."

After that, you still have to put the pieces that you pulled out from between your teeth back into your mouth and taste them.

"vomit……"

Zhao Chuanxin felt like vomiting.

Someone asked the old man: "Master Jia, has anyone ever received generous rewards from the cave?"

The old man, Master Jia, said: "Yes, someone got a rune from it, and was caught by the emperor's guards when he went out - that rune is called the Rune of True Sight. Since then, there has been an army of puppets. "

Zhao Chuanxin discovered that Master Jia spoke with certainty rather than in a hearsay tone.

He became suspicious.

When the time came again while listening to the other party's conversation, Zhao Chuanxin exited the state and opened the Holy Light Channel again.

The places where his faith comes from are: Australia Island, Hong Kong Island, Hankou, Guanwai, New York, Hailar area... and scattered places.

In the past, there were few places of origin, and the power of faith fluctuated. After Zhao Chuanxian managed the Hailar area, the power of faith gradually became stable.

Especially during the day, the replenishment speed and consumption of the power of faith are basically the same.

After re-entering the state, Zhao Chuanxin came up with a detail in his thinking: Why didn't the emperor open the Holy Light Channel to pursue him?

Does he have something to hide, or is he hiding his trump cards from the world to prevent him from knowing that he has the old sacred altar?

Zhao Chuanxin took out the can of condensed milk that he had not used when cooking for the snotty baby yesterday. After opening it, the rich milk fragrance dissipated.

Amidst the sound of swallowing, Zhao Chuanxin put the can under his nose and took a sniff: "It tastes great. I really want to lick two mouthfuls of this condensed milk. One mouthful will make my mouth moist, two mouthfuls will sublimate my soul, and three mouthfuls will turn me into an immortal. "

Master Jia is not exempt from vulgarity. No matter how awesome a person is, he will lose his temper when he sees food after being hungry for a long time.

Even though he looked better, he was still drooling. It was obvious that he was just like other refugees and lacked food and clothing.

Master Jia suddenly asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Why are you being chased here by the puppet soldiers?"

Zhao Chuanxin still held the can of condensed milk in his left hand, but in his right hand he took out two small elephants made of fused quartz glass, and threw one of them to Master Jia: "Well, this is the one that aroused the emperor's greed, and the bitch wants to get me for free. Glass."

Another piece of glass was thrown into the ripples by Zhao Chuanxin.

This time, what Ripple spit out caused everyone in the hall to exclaim: "It's a gem!"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the light blue gem and looked at it. Isn't this azure crystal?

A piece of glass for a piece of sapphire that stores huge amounts of energy?

He dropped into a bowl of fused quartz glass, and this time the ripples spit out a small irregular ball of black and white.

Zhao Chuanxin held up the ball to Master Jia and asked, "What is this?"

Master Jia looked at it and said in surprise: "You didn't suffer any loss in that cave, and you actually got azure crystal and soft gold in exchange."

"What is soft money?" Zhao Chuanxin asked.

"The shell of the puppet soldier and the armor of the Desert Emperor are both made of soft gold, but the emperor's 'strong runes' are needed to 'seed' the shell of the puppet soldier from the soft gold."

Zhao Chuanxin thought of the desert emperor's armor and the solid shell of the puppet soldiers. They were not only bulletproof, but even broke his elf carving knife.

Perhaps the Solidity Rune can change the internal crystal structure of metal? Or internal structures that improve mechanical performance?

He quickly put away the piece of soft gold, maybe there was a chance to use it to make a new body armor.

Seeing his solemnity, Master Jia smiled: "Such a small piece of soft gold can grow a set of puppet soldier shells, but you must first have the emperor's 'strong runes', otherwise it will be just a piece of scrap copper and iron, not even as good as Silver is valuable.”

Zhao Chuanxin blinked: "Then grab his runes!"

"..." Master Jia half-smiled: "Snatch it? You don't even understand what runes are. If things were that simple, the emperor would have mastered dozens or hundreds of runes in the past hundreds of years. ."

"If you can speak, just speak more." Zhao Chuanxin asked shamelessly.

However, Master Jia remained silent.

Zhao Chuanxin asked him: "Then how did you offend the emperor?"

Master Jia shook his head and said nothing.

Can't cure you?

Zhao Chuanxin held up the can of condensed milk: "Hiss...it smells so good."

Master Jia: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin held the can in front of him: "I am a fearless pioneer from Middle-earth. Have you heard of me? If there is anyone here who has the ability to take you out of here, it can only be me. How about we work together to get through the difficulties? In my opinion, there is nothing to fear from the Desert Emperor. There are always more solutions than difficulties."

"There are always more solutions than difficulties?" Master Jia chewed this sentence slowly as if licking condensed milk: "Okay, well said! I don't think I, a magnificent third-level and ninth-level craftsman, should be buried here."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "What did you say? A third-level and ninth-level craftsman?"

Every craftsman dreams of being promoted from the first and third levels to the second level, but the old man in front of him is actually the third and ninth level, and the higher level is a master craftsman.

Master Jia smiled proudly: "That's right! I didn't offend the emperor. I was one of the ninth-level craftsmen who made puppet soldiers for him. He felt that we were exposed to too many secrets about runes, so he asked us to create two more sophisticated ones. Puppet Craftsman. When the Puppet Craftsman made it, he killed all the ninth-level craftsmen who participated in the puppet making. I was the only one who survived and escaped here."

To kill the donkey?

Zhao Chuanxin did not sympathize with their misery of being cooked by "cunning rabbits and dead lackeys". He asked: "Does the Desert Emperor own an old sacred altar?"

"Eh? This is the artifact he keeps at the bottom of the box. It has not been used for hundreds of years. You actually know that?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: Not only do I know, I also own two of them at the same time. I have more artifacts than him.

Zhao Chuanxin asked him: "You have been here for a long time, is there any way to leave?"

Master Jia stared at Zhao Chuanxin fiercely: "I have a way to make you leave, but you need to sign a contract with me and promise to come back to rescue me, otherwise I will not help, and you can't force me to do things here. "

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a long time.

He asked bluntly: "What are the consequences of breaking the contract?"

Master Jia categorically said: "One hundred years of life!"

Zhao Chuanxin felt his head hurt when he heard this.

Master Jia can be regarded as grasping his lifeline.

What he cares about most in his life is his life span.

Zhao Chuanxin began to think about the possibility of escaping independently.

The City of Runes is too big for him to escape by stepping on the ladder, and the smart gyroscope cannot persist outside the city. And this must be based on the prerequisite that the desert emperor has no means of high and low and no long-range weapons.

The Desert Emperor also possesses the Old Sacred Altar.

The flash distance of the old sacred altar can only be as far as the eye can see. The Desert Emperor has spies throughout the city. He can teleport anywhere, but Zhao Chuanxin cannot. If he is found to have an old sacred altar, with the greed of the Desert Emperor , I am afraid that I will keep him even if I use all my cards, so I cannot take this risk for the time being.

He must try his best to bring both sides to the same level of strength.

The emperor did not use the old sacred altar, and neither did he.

After thinking about it, there is really only one way to go.

He said: "If I have to sign a contract, I need to add a few conditions."

Master Jia stared directly at Zhao Chuanxin: "You tell me first and take a look."

Zhao Chuanxin considered it and said: "The time limit for rescuing you should be longer. If I come back after I go out and guarantee that you will not die of hunger and thirst here, it will not be considered a breach of contract."

The first one is easy to understand, but the second one is really confusing to Master Jia.

Unable to figure it out, he simply didn't think about it: "Okay, it's a deal."

The others looked excited after hearing this: "Fearless Pioneer, I am a noble, a top noble. I have a lot of wealth. I can give you a huge fortune."

"Fearless Pioneer, I am a gem merchant. I have a cellar full of gems..."

"Fearless Vanguard, I am the leader of the rebel army. Take me out and we will work together to overthrow the rule of the Desert Emperor!"

Everyone was talking.

Zhao Chuanxin was shocked. These people were of great background, and those who could offend the emperor were not ordinary people.

However, he didn't agree to anyone. He would sign a contract with Master Jia first.

The two parties signed a contract, and Master Jia gave Zhao a salary of one month.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled.

When it comes to trump cards, he doesn't think he has any fewer cards than the Desert Emperor. He may not be able to defeat him, but he can still do it to ensure that he doesn't die.

After signing the contract, Master Jia said: "The emperor has a total of four runes, namely - true eye, solidity, light blade, and central control. With the four runes, he created an army of puppets. Do you want To escape, you need to capture one... no, two or three puppet soldiers come in, I need their bodies and weapons as materials!"

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

The first step is to embarrass people, right?

Zhao Chuanxin was not sure whether his several layers of armor could defend against the light saber in the hands of the puppet soldiers.

In terms of physical fitness, the puppet soldiers who are not afraid of death or pain and have infinite strength and amazing explosive power are probably even better.

But Zhao Chuanxin, who had rich combat experience and endless methods, still thought of seven or eight tactical plans in the flash of lightning.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin hesitate, Master Jia frowned and asked, "Isn't the reputation of the Fearless Pioneer of Middle-earth just in vain?"

Zhao Chuanxin did not feel dissatisfied: "Haha, it's time to show your true skills."
