Chapter 1547: Three Characteristics
Li Qi called those monsters "evil spirits", which is essentially the same thing as what Lin Tao and the others called. Lin Tao continued to read the contents of the notes: "Although the number of evil spirits is huge, it is difficult to be killed, and their movement speed and combat power are quite terrible, but after a period of investigation, I have initially mastered their three characteristics."
"First, these evil spirits have very low hearing and smell, and even if they talk in front of them, they may not be able to hear it. But correspondingly, their vision and perception of light are very sharp. A little bit of light and fire can cause their restlessness, and the bigger the fire, the more violent they are."
Lin Tao suddenly remembered the first month of their arrival here. They fought in the fortress in the fortress and were surrounded by the army of evil spirits. When the monster army saw their bonfire, they immediately rushed towards them. After they lit the hay and kerosene, the monsters not only did not retreat, but instead continued to attack one after another, and the attack became even more violent and fierce.
If it weren't for the unlucky army of Zou Kingdom, Yuewang Ye held the dense flames, which attracted the attention of the evil spirits, Lin Tao would have basically explained it at that time, and there would be no subsequent series of discoveries.
"Secondly, these evil spirits are basically in an immortal state. Ordinary attacks can only temporarily slow down their pace, but they cannot kill them. The only way to kill them is to divide the meridians behind their necks, so that they will lose control and die by themselves. Attacking anywhere else, they will absolutely not be able to kill evil spirits. I have done a lot of experiments."
It turns out that the famous General Li Qi is also a crazy scientist who keeps doing experiments.
At the back of the notes, there were two schematic diagrams with a little sketch color, which clearly marked the location of the meridians behind the neck, for fear that the text would not explain the problem clearly. Lin Tao followed the location marked on the picture and gestured at his neck meridians, and then continued to look down.
"Third, after the evil spirit is killed, it will automatically turn into ashes under the sun. I don't know what the principle is. After turning into ashes, the eyes of the evil spirit will be preserved. It is said that this kind of eyes has extremely high nutritional value, but this statement is not credible. It should be a rumor among the people or intentionally misleading by people with ulterior motives."
"According to my preliminary speculation, these eyeballs are condensed with some extraordinary power. The evil spirits originally did not have independent consciousness, or were basically in a state of unconsciousness and wild beasts. They should be under the trend of some mysterious power, and some people are controlling these evil spirits behind their backs. This statement is certainly unreasonable, but I cannot find any other more reasonable explanation at present. Therefore, this eyeball should be a tool for people who control these evil spirits to observe the outside world through the eyes of the evil spirits."
Lin Tao let out a breath slowly, and looking back, the content basically had nothing to do with the "Evil Spirit Army". At this time, Lin Tao quietly had an idea in his mind: "Perhaps, this group of monster army is a double-edged sword. If used properly, it can be used for me. When the grudges between Zou Kingdom and Meinanling of Teng Kingdom were handled, tens of thousands of troops would rush their troops south. At that time, the monster army might be an excellent secret weapon."
Putting the notebook in close contact, Lin Tao left the dark and wet study room. The dazzling sunshine was warm and it felt quite comfortable to shine on his body.
In the next two days, while constantly sending intelligence spies to Zou Guo and Teng Guo to investigate the war between the two sides, he developed several resource deposits near the border city according to the contents of the notebook. Unfortunately, Jiang Meng, Lu Sansi and others were idle for not a whole afternoon, and were once again handy and used as free laborers.
The army of Teng Kingdom took nearly two days to order troops and generals without any rush, and prepare materials and supplies. Everything seemed to be fine, but people with discerning eyes, including Zou Kingdom, could see that they were going on a trip when they were fighting, and they were slow to set off, which made people anxious.
This is clearly delaying time, but even if Zou Guo sees this, he cannot say it clearly. After all, they have something to ask for!
So, I can only swallow this cowardly air.
Anyway, according to this trend, the army of Teng Kingdom could not reach the battlefield for a while. Lin Tao asked someone to send a message to the spy, "Strictly monitor it, and the two countries will immediately repay it once they fight." In fact, this was a matter of course, but Lin Tao still couldn't help but emphasize again and again, for fear of missing an opportunity and details, which would bring them a devastating disaster.
Lin Tao focused his main energy on Long Bo. On the third day after Long Bo left, he finally rode a maroon Duma back to the city. Except for his vicissitudes and fatigue in his face, Long Bo and the horse were both unscathed and returned intact, which made Lin Tao feel relieved.
"After coming to this real world, the immortal power is gone, and after a long journey, I obviously feel that my body can't bear it. Alas, it's better than before." Long Bo sighed.
Lin Tao smiled slightly and said, "Don't sigh, let's talk about what you have discovered this time."
Long Bo's expression gradually became solemn, and he said, "I searched all the nearby mountains. There was indeed a very large underground space under this mountain range. Although I don't know the specific size of this space, I found the entrance to this underground space, which was a hollow hidden behind the cliff. Below the hollow are rock layers and caves, and this cave and our mine can be interconnected."
Then, Long Bo took out a map from the mezzanine of his sleeve. The map was clearly drawn by him on the road, with a certain deviation in proportion, like a picture that was stretched and deformed.
Fortunately, this map was made very carefully. All the mountains, terrain, road signs and obstacles were perfectly experienced on the map. In one corner of the map, there was a skull-like thing, and a large circle was drawn with red charcoal brushes. This was the entrance to the monster's underground nest.
From the bottom of my heart, even if Lin Tao has no one to lead the way, he can use this map to find his destination in the complex wilderness forests. Long Bo has hundreds of years of experience in lurking behind enemy lines, and this reconnaissance ability is really not a big deal.
Lin Tao collected the map and said to Long Bo: "Brother Long Bo, thank you for your hard work along the way. Just leave the rest to me. You can go for a good rest."
Long Bo really needed a rest, nodded, and without saying anything, he retreated.
The things in the city were temporarily handed over to Xiao Zhan by Lin Tao. As early as the exile planet, Xiao Zhan led a team of exiles, so he was at ease with this task and readily agreed.
Lin Tao was eager to verify the contents in General Li Qi's notes, so he needed one or two "evil spirits" as test subjects. But this matter must not be done with great fanfare, not only to conceal Jiang Meng and Lu Sansi in the border city, but also to conceal the eyes and ears of the enemies in the city.
Although the border city is just a small town and a small village, it has a population of two or three thousand, so it is not difficult to install a spy of two here. Especially when Lin Tao just took the mountain village, many people who claimed to be close to the villages got into the city, because the various systems in the city had not yet been effectively operated, so it was difficult to ensure that no one was taking advantage of the situation at that time.
For this reason, Lin Tao found Ma Long privately and asked Ma Long to help select four or five people who are completely trustworthy. To put it bluntly, except for Su Qingzhou and Su Xiaobei, the rest were all brothers and sisters from the Qingcheng Sect in the past, which could be trusted. Despite this, Ma Long still agreed cautiously. However, he still had a little doubt about Lin Tao's behavior.
"Brother Lin Tao, if it's convenient, it's better to tell me what you are going to do on this trip?" Ma Long and Lin Tao slowly walked to a corner where no one was, and whispered with frowns.
To be honest, if Lin Tao wants to seek help from others, he must explain clearly what his purpose is. You can't make it mysterious and make everyone confused and follow you to work hard. That would be too disrespectful to others, and he would simply treat people as NPCs.
Lin Tao said truthfully: "Brother Ma Long, let me tell you the truth. This operation is a bit dangerous. I found the notes of my ex-General Li on the archives shelf. The notes record the contents of the evil spirits... that is, the army of monsters. I want to catch a few monsters and take them back for experiments. If the contents on the notes are correct, this huge army of monsters may be used by us in the future."
"For my use..." Ma Long instantly understood what Lin Tao meant, and was shocked by Lin Tao's mind that was shocked from the sky. You must know that using these monster army was originally like walking a tightrope to play with the heat-nuclear missile. If you are not careful, you will be backfired first. "It's too dangerous to do this."
"Of course I know that there are great risks in doing this," Lin Tao seemed to have thought that Ma Long would say this for a long time, and immediately replied: "But do we have other choices? The war between Zou Guotengguo and Meinanling will last at most for one month. Once they take action, they will attack us. We can only abandon the city and surrender, and then wait for death in the wild. Brother Ma Long, if you think my method is too ridiculous, I can't force your Qingcheng Sect to help, but I will also find a way to do this myself."
"I definitely can't sit idly," Ma Long lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Brother Lin Tao, I have a few candidates for this matter, but I can only ask you their opinions. As for whether they agree, I have no choice."
Lin Tao glanced at Ma Long gratefully. For him, it was enough to do this. "Brother Ma Long, don't worry, I will definitely bring the brothers back safely."
Ma Long's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment and he slowly shook his head: "Brother Lin Tao, I said that I just asked you about their opinions. If they go or not, I have no way to make a decision."
