Luo Heng stared at the pile of insect corpses on the square. He was so shocked that he couldn't calm down for even a second.
Three days ago, he was very doubtful about whether Yuan Hongxue could take out enough food or not. Three days later, a huge amount of food appeared in front of him like a dream, but he was even more doubtful.
There were just too many dead insects, in just three days, he really couldn't figure out how the fire messenger and Yuan Hongxue did it. But the truth was the truth. Eloquence trumped everything. He had no choice but to believe it.
Luo Hengshen was surprised to find out that ever since the old man named Yuan Hongxue came to the castle of Raging Fire, miracles had been happening non-stop.
First, he gained the trust of the fire messenger, then he seized the power of the castle of Raging Fire, and now, he was able to create mountains of insect corpses. In less than five days, this old man had done all of them!
Now, Luo Hengshen's only regret was that Yuan Hongxue gave the black man and Cao Zhengyi full control of the food distribution, so he didn't know how Yuan Hongxue did it.
…
There were a lot of strong ordinary people scattered around the mountain of dead insects. They used to be called slaves, but not anymore, they were called the citizens of the castle of Raging Fire.
Under the command of the black man who could speak Chinese, they were working very hard to dissect the dead insects' meat one after another. They all wanted to let the whole world, especially the castellan and the black man, know that they were working very hard.
Because these people knew that the job of dissecting corpses in the hall was probably the best and most enviable job in the entire yellow mountain area.
There was no danger of being attacked by monsters, there was no threat of freezing to death, and there was enough food every day. All they needed to do was to "cut the meat".
This kind of job, coupled with the feeling of being full, strongly stimulated the ordinary people in the castle of Raging Fire to fight for it. Even some of the weaker Skywalkers were jealous.
Going through the back door was inevitable. As long as they were related to the Six Stars and Eighteen Generals, as long as they could get in touch with City Lord Cao, regardless of whether they were related or not, they would all come out in full force.
Chu Yunsheng had told Cao Zhengyi and Edgar to hire people. First, they must be clean and healthy. Second, they must be hardworking. Third, they must not steal or take anything. He didn't have time to deal with these trivial things.
Cao Zhengyi was a local. He was familiar with the people and knew their backgrounds. He was in charge of selecting and recruiting people.
Edgar was a foreigner, he had a simple interpersonal relationship and was not afraid of offending people. He had full authority to supervise the process of processing the corpse meat. Once he found someone unqualified, he had the right to expel him directly without discussing with anyone.
At first, Chu Yunsheng thought that no one would let go of such a good and precious "iron bowl".
However, the result was out of his expectation. In just three days, more than ten people had been fired by Edger. All of them were petty people who thought that they had the support of a powerful background, and tried to steal some worm meat and bring it out of the palace square.
Some of them were people who had connections with the castellan, Cao Zhengyi. But in this matter, he was very "smart".
Cao Zhengyi knew the position of that black man in grandpa Yuan's heart better than anyone else. That black man was personally saved by grandpa Yuan from his hands. Just from the fact that the black man could walk around grandpa Yuan's room freely and even guard the door for grandpa Yuan, Cao Zhengyi knew that he could not win Edgar's trust, at least not now.
And for the first time, Chu Yunsheng really understood that it was not that easy to share everything from the same big pot.
But he could not find a better way at the moment. Chu Yunsheng was a complete novice when it came to the large-scale social system and management. In fact, his situation was not much better than Cao Zhengyi's. They were both unsuitable people, and they were all in unsuitable positions. It was all because of the abnormal era and the abnormal situation that created such an awkward situation.
Fortunately, Chu Yunsheng had always maintained his strong points. He was very self-aware when he was doing things. He knew what he was made for, and what he was not made for. He would always suppress the things that he should be involved in, and he would always authorize people to do things that he should not be involved in.
Because of this, in the past three days, Chu Yunsheng spent a lot of time making detoxification talismans and modifying non-toxic insect meat in batches. He basically stayed in the room in the palace square, trying his best to recover from his injuries.
Ning Zhirou didn't know the truth, so he was fooled by the women from the Ice Race. But Chu Yunsheng had personally fought with the cloaked man, so he knew it clearly.
It was true that the cloaked man was seriously injured, but even so, he almost used a giant tomb and countless insects' lives, plus he risked his life to barely win.
If he didn't encounter the cloaked man, even if he was seriously injured, ten Ning Zhirou with ten freeze guns would still be the same as suicide. Chu Yunsheng didn't know whether the two women from the Ice Race were crazy or not.
He thought about it, and he could only think that the castle of Snowstorm used Ning Zhirou to test the cloaked man's injury. After all, for so many days, the Ice Race had been trying to rob the "candidate" of the castle of Raging Fire, so they probably still had some scruples about the cloaked man.
So Chu Yunsheng continued to speculate. Even though the cloaked man was seriously injured, he still had such a powerful combat ability. Even if the two women in white were also injured, they would not be weak. Moreover, they also had an aircraft with unknown power.
Therefore, in the past three days, he suppressed the idea of going to the castle of Snowstorm to "steal" the cloaked man. With his current physical condition, he was not a match for the two women in white at all. If he failed and was intercepted by them, he would really have no way out.
Relying on the fact that they did not know that the cloaked man was about to die, Chu Yunsheng was able to recover his strength as fast as he could.
Although the silhouette in the mirror in the divine realm had said that the two races had a special way to avoid its detection, but sooner or later, this matter would be exposed through other means. Once the truth was revealed, Chu Yunsheng had no doubt that the Ice Race would attack the castle in an instant.
Although he still had some hope in his mind, in fact, he already felt that the divine realm was most likely working with the Ice Race. But he was also confused as to why they didn't reveal his identity.
In fact, Chu Yunsheng's current situation was not as glorious as he seemed to be in the castle of Raging Fire. On the contrary, he was already in a precarious situation. As long as the divine realm exposed his identity and location now, he would have nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape, and he would not even have the capital to risk his life.
Therefore, he urgently needed time to recover from his injuries and break through to Yuan Tian stage four as soon as possible. He also needed to arm all the Skywalkers in the castle and hatch the swarm army.
But these were not things that he could be anxious about. Not to mention other things, he had high hopes for that half-dead Dark, but it had been growing very slowly. Yesterday, Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and ordered the entire tomb to stop the hatching of all the insects except for the production of the growth promoting mucus, and to focus on the growth of Dark.
Otherwise, even if there were tens of thousands of swarm hatched, as long as he couldn't command them to leave the creep area, it would be useless.
However, compared to these things that could at least make some progress, there was something that made Chu Yunsheng even more depressed.
After the cloaked man died, it left behind a long metal box that it called Xuan Bo energy shield. Chu Yunsheng had never seen this thing's defensive ability before.
He clearly remembered that he had risked having his Ben Ti Yuan Qi become chaotic. He didn't hesitate to consume a large amount of Ben Ti Yuan Qi in an extremely short amount of time to continuously perform the "Piercing Stab" move of the six strikes sword technique. Only then did he manage to break the cloaked man's Xuan Bo shield.
And this was after the cloaked man used Xuan Bo energy shield to fight for a long time and was severely injured. If the cloaked man used Xuan Bo energy shield, Chu Yunsheng didn't even dare to imagine how many times it would take for him to break it.
In the past three days, Chu Yunsheng personally used his tier-2 combat armor to do the same experiment. After using Xuan Bo energy shield, the armor was broken.
Obviously, Xuan Bo energy shield was already more powerful than his tier-2 combat armor. It was at least at the level of tier-3 combat armor. Moreover, it didn't take up much space, and it didn't hinder his attacks. If he couldn't use it, it would be a huge waste.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng spent a lot of time and effort to study this thing.
The generator of Xuan Bo energy shield was just a long metal box that was about the size of a mobile phone. It could be held in one hand.
When Chu Yunsheng injected his Ben Ti Yuan Qi into it, the metal box would barely open a thin spherical energy shield. But each time, it could only last for two to three seconds, then it would break and disappear. This happened several times in a row.
At first, Chu Yunsheng thought that it was because he didn't inject enough Yuan Qi into it, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But in the past three days, he tried to inject a large amount of Ben Ti Yuan Qi into it to test its performance. However, he was disappointed to find that it was not the case at all.
No matter how hard Chu Yunsheng tried, after he injected a certain amount of Ben Ti Yuan Qi into the metal box, the metal box refused to accept Chu Yunsheng's Ben Ti Yuan Qi. So no matter how much Ben Ti Yuan Qi he had, it was useless.
The activation time of Xuan Bo energy shield was still only two to three seconds. It was so fragile that it couldn't be used at all.
The feeling of facing a mountain of treasures but not being able to find the way to the top was even more worrying than when he first obtained the cloak. At least when the cloak was not activated, it still had some basic functions, and he could pretend to be a member of the Fire Race.
If this thing couldn't be activated, it was like a useless brick.
The more Chu Yunsheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. Since he had fully taken control of the granary and the reserves that Luo Hengshen transported back, the shortage of cigarettes had been greatly alleviated. This was all thanks to the billionaire "Zhang Hu", who hid so many high-quality cigarettes in his bunker. Except for the three brothers, most of the cigarettes had now fallen into Chu Yunsheng's hands.
Thinking of Zhang Hu, Chu Yunsheng's mind, which had always been tense and busy, suddenly got distracted for a moment. Suddenly, a figure appeared in his mind. It seemed to be familiar, but it was vague.
He frowned and thought for a long time. When he was about to finish the cigarette, he suddenly slapped his forehead. He almost forgot about Zhang Hu's little lover.
He hurriedly took out the map and photos from the storage talisman. 'Is it her? But who is she? '
At this time, Edgar knocked on the door from the outside and coughed, "Master Butler, the major has arranged for them, do you want to see them?"
