Chapter 215 Dearest Friends, Brothers and Sisters
For a moment, the sound of people gasping for air was heard continuously.

It was just that there was no cool place to be found in the sweltering heat underground, and all that everyone breathed in was the pungent, burning wind...

It only passed by for a moment, and a wisp of mercury that was difficult to detect even with the naked eye easily cut off Lou Feng's hair.

It is just like this to break a hair by blowing it.

Although most people present could easily achieve the same effect, it was impossible to do it in such a hidden way. Moreover, there was more than one thing that came out of the furnace.
I didn’t expect that after squatting by the stove for a whole night, Ji Jue would come up with such an outrageous secret room massacre prop.

For a moment, the look in his eyes towards Lou Feng became more and more admiring - I didn't expect that you craftsmen of Yujin, who look so gentle and polite on weekdays, actually have a lot of deadly things in your pockets!
What amazing and wise things do you have to show?
In the unrealistic expectations, Lou Feng's eyes twitched again and again, his gaze swept across the broken hair on his forehead, and glared at Ji Jue.

This bastard must have done it on purpose just now!
Ji Jue smiled innocently, pretending not to know what happened.

After a short practice, he became more and more skilled at the operation. Liquid mercury flowed and transformed between his ten fingers, like stretching dough. Each time he closed and stretched them, the mercury threads doubled in number and became thinner.

In the end, his hands seemed to be filled with flowing silver light.

When thousands of fine threads fall down and scatter on the ground, the light flows between the threads, just like water waves, swaying and moving, so beautiful.

"It's done."

Ji Jue put his index finger and thumb together and picked it up carefully, feeling the silky touch and thickness, and estimating the diameter.

After a lot of experience in fine processing, the blessing of the natural hands has grown to the point where it is enough to obtain detailed data by touch with just a pinch, and is not inferior to professional equipment in judging the conditions of three decimal places.

0.012 mm, close to 1 silk.

If you deliberately control it, you can go even lower. Under the premise of maintaining operation and control, you should be able to press it to about 0.3 silk, but that is meaningless and there is no need to go that low.

Ji Jue put his hands together, and the millions of flowing mercury strands merged again, or intertwined, and entangled in one place without any resistance through the gentle interweaving of his ten fingers. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a silver scarf.

The moment he raised his hand and swung it away, it began to expand endlessly, consuming only more than 20 grams before covering the entire shelter.

No matter how Ji Jue pulled, cut, and pierced it, or how it stretched and deformed, it didn't show any signs of breaking or cracking.

All power comes from the blessing of being part of it.

Among the blessings of the ruins, there is another blessing that is almost completely opposite to the [Quality of Gold and Iron] - [Supreme Toughness]!
The function of the metal and iron qualities is to harden the object and increase its hardness, while the effect of the toughest type is the opposite, softening the material to the limit, thereby obtaining unimaginable toughness and ductility.

After the two are combined, the defect of excessive brittleness of gold and iron is compensated. When facing impact, the structural stability also undergoes a qualitative change under the buffering of toughness.

Hard and soft.

The strength of mercury creations has been greatly improved, and their versatility has been further expanded. With the Supreme Toughness Form, Ji Jue has gotten rid of the defect that cable-type materials cannot be reproduced with mercury.

Using a human as an analogy, if the bones are responsible for supporting the framework of metal and iron, then the toughest type is undoubtedly the muscles, which are sufficient to meet the needs of transmission function.

If combined and used properly, the benefits are endless!
“It’s a good work indeed!”

Ji Jue praised: "In such a chaotic environment, you were able to ensure precision and meticulously peel off such a complete blessing. Thank you very much, Mr. Lou!"

This was something that Lou Feng had urgently pulled off from a chosen one of the Wasteland when he raided the branch of the evil cult. It was a rare opportunity. Metal and iron qualities were quite common in the wasteland, but it was too rare to find a chosen one blessed with such a unique and tough type in the early stage.

To this end, Ji Jue took the initiative to discard most of the materials in the workshop that he would not use as labor costs.

It's free anyway, no regrets.

But good works are really useful...

You said that the matrix of good works was invented by some genius?
At this moment, noticing Ji Jue's earnest and enthusiastic eyes, Lou Feng snorted coldly: "It's better for you to think less about me!"

I don't know what you are thinking, you bastard?
Are you planning to take over my Matrix again?

"Oh, how can that be possible!"

Ji Jue shook his head and sighed, "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person!"

"Don't you know whether you are right or not?" Lou Feng was almost laughing out of anger: "If you had glanced at my matrix less with your dog eyes, I might have believed it!"

They are all fucking embers, who doesn't know what you are thinking about in your mind.

"If you really want to thank me, then don't keep me in suspense."

Lou Feng lowered his eyes and looked at the mercury creation in Ji Jue's hand that was constantly changing and could be as soft or hard as he wanted, "Forget about the simple blessing of gold and iron. It can only be considered a semi-finished product at best.

But how did you add the blessing of ultimate resilience?"

Lou Feng has seen and used mercury as a material before. It can be said that it has a wide range of uses. Whether it is used as an additive to neutralize reactions or as a filter to precipitate impurities, it is already commonplace.

However, the reason why few people use it as the main material for blessing is because of its essential shortcomings - even if mercury is purified and extracted, it is still difficult to carry blessings like ordinary metals. It is even limited by its liquid properties, and even a few complex spiritual circuits are difficult to engrave and carry.

As for the simple nature of gold and iron, Lou Feng could understand it by guessing - fluid alchemy has its specialties in processing this type of material. What's more, it can also forcibly improve the physical properties and defects of the material by enhancing its essence.

Ji Jue raised the upper limit of mercury's carrying capacity in disguise by improving his spiritual quality!

But even so, the upper limit still exists, and after it is enhanced once, enhancing it again will only be more difficult, more troublesome and more exaggerated.

If there is no limit, then why do we still need to learn modern alchemy? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all bowed down to mercury and became disciples of fluid alchemy? How could it be possible that it would be reduced to the point of being extinct?

Or is Fei Gong really that awesome?
You know, the stable coexistence of multiple blessings is a project that requires careful consideration, caution, and treading on thin ice, even for craftsmen.

What's more, these blessings, which come from the same source but repel each other, can coexist in such an unstable carrier as mercury and still operate stably.

What's the difference between this and playing 3A with a microwave oven motherboard and playing with two at once? !

In response, Ji Jue just smiled mysteriously: "Do you really want to know?"

Lou Feng rolled his eyes: "I won't ask about confidential information. If you really want to tell me, I will..."

"No need to go out."

Ji Jue didn't care about the tricks behind the magic. "It's very simple, because I didn't get it right at all. Don't even think about getting it right."

As he spoke, he spread his hands apart.

Suddenly, the mercury under his feet also split in the middle and divided into two. One was as hard as steel, and the other was as soft as water. The distinction was so clear that Lou Feng was stunned.

"Have you forgotten that mercury is in liquid form?" Ji Jue laughed, "That is to say, there is no need to go through so much trouble. I just need to mix two parts of mercury together and it will be done, right?"

How can a semi-finished product contain two complete blessings?

It's very simple. If one semi-finished product can't handle it, why not use two semi-finished products instead? Then mix the two together and use it as a finished product.

Aren’t they all the same!

What more bike do you want?

For a moment, the seal of the building was almost about to crack from the daze.

What the hell is this?!
As an apprentice craftsman who graduated from a professional school, he always tried to find solutions from a theoretical perspective and look for problems from the principles. However, he never expected to encounter such a wild solution from Ji Jue.

This is so fucking rough, so rough that it's horrible to look at, but it is genuine, effective and easy to use.

The left and right are emergency enhancement measures.

From the perspective of extreme cost-effectiveness, the problem is solved in the most economical way and the most hassle-free way. If there is more water, add noodles, and if there is more noodles, add more water. Why is it so troublesome? I can tell whether the high-voltage cable has electricity by just touching it!

If Ji Jue were to say, Young Master Lou was harmed by his wealthy life!

Always want everything to be perfect.

If you work as a car repairman for two more years, you will learn all kinds of crooked tricks - if the A or B pillars are broken, you can use pliers to straighten them, weld them and continue to use them. As long as the car can start, it's fine. As for what the chassis and suspension look like, don't look down to see them, it's not good for you.

Just tell me if you can open it!
Why are you talking so much? Don't you want to pay? Did you see that big black guy picking his feet on the recliner? I advise you to think clearly before you speak...

If you talk about advanced theories, Ji Jue might even look shy.

But when it comes to how to make do to the best of one's ability, he knows it very well!
"……wrong!"

After all, he is Young Master Lou, and he is well-informed. After recovering from the initial shock, he immediately understood the strangeness of the matter: "What kind of skill is it to make multiple different blessed creations merge and operate at the same time, and still be so stable? The parallel knot of the Bai Dynasty workshop? The double flow of the empire? It doesn't look like it, none of them. This is the style of Qiandao?"

After bending down and just reaching out to touch it twice, he understood the general situation: "When did you steal... ahem, learn the Chengchuan Juxing from Nanyun?"

"Huh? Is that the name?" Ji Jue was surprised: "I don't even know."

Lou Feng's eyes twitched wildly, and he glared angrily. The dog thing was getting tanned, right? But then he heard Ji Jue's voice:
"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

"..."

For a moment, Lou Feng also stood there in a daze.

But Ji Jue didn't bother to talk about it. He rolled up his sleeves and directly used his two semi-finished products to talk about the connection, series connection and combination between different spiritual circuits, as well as the composition methods and precautions.

If anything, this was the result of the previous search from Duden's workshop. Before leaving, Ji Jue, in line with the principle of not wasting anything, dismantled all the large facilities that could not be moved!
Not a single bit was left.

Including the furnace that Duden had saved up countless amounts of money to build and had carefully adjusted countless times - he simply sold out all his tricks.

Although the essence is really difficult to understand and the operation is too easy, I have learned a lot of disorganized and unsystematic skills, including Chengchuan Juxing, and it is the most complete one.

Moreover, Ji Jue felt that if Duden could continue to delve deeper into his studies, he might be able to use this to bring all of his scattered and chaotic skills together, which would be a more or less dignified and correct path.

The old man Jianyuan really didn't deceive him. He showed him the way without keeping anything secret. It's a pity that a piece of mud cannot be helped.

No wonder Zhifu looks down on him.

After the discussion, Mr. Lou took his filled notes and went to study on his own, asking questions from time to time. But it didn't take long for him to completely understand the theory, which impressed Ji Jue.

Oh no, Mr. Lou’s speed and efficiency in rolling up are a bit exaggerated.

The sense of urgency suddenly came over me.

He couldn't sleep either, so he simply leaned on a mercury recliner and began to write the half-finished paper quickly. From time to time, he would use Mr. Lou's furnace and non-attack to test it on the spot.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Amidst the trivial noises, a clear sound suddenly rang out.

Amid the rhythmic knocking sounds, a gap slowly appeared in the wall, but no figure was seen. Two seconds later, Tong Shan's figure suddenly reappeared.

Still wearing the same heavy clothes and outfit as when he left, he took off his respirator and blew out the candle burning vigorously on the candlestick in his hand. The moment the flame went out, a figure that was originally unrecognizable and undetectable appeared in front of everyone.

If you look closely, the remaining half of the candle on the candlestick is in the shape of half a finger, with the bone as the core and the flesh and fat as the wax.

Ji Jue saw it and ate a lemon with envy.

After all, they are the Tong family, extremely wealthy, and they have a lot of these consumable-like blessed creations in their pockets.

——The hand that corrects delusion.

As you can see from the shape, it is a candle made of human fingers. Although it is a consumable item, the blessing of the mirror system is melted inside, [Dazzling Vision and Deception]

It is lit with spiritual fire. Once it is lit, the wind cannot blow it away. The person who lit it cannot be observed within the range of the candlelight. Both the vision and sound, and even the movement caused will be completely covered.

When burning, the blessing of [Blinding Vision and Deceiving Hearing] will be activated, forcibly distorting all related perceptions, which is called [Delusion]. The more times the delusion is used and the higher the frequency, the faster it will be consumed.

If Ji Jue watched with his naked eyes, it might be able to last for half an hour. However, if it were a celestial being of the Ether series, even if he just glanced at it, this thing would explode instantly and reveal its true form.

Tong Shan has been out for so long, he must have consumed more than one.

And on that face that was always stern, a rare hint of gloom and sadness appeared.

“It’s a terrible situation.”

He said bluntly: "The Huaxie Cult is currently in direct conflict with the Security Bureau. Both sides are still in the stage of testing each other, but there have been many places where fighting has taken place.

But unlike the scattered situation in the past, the cooperation between the gangs this time was unexpectedly close.

The evil accumulated in the entire Quancheng for such a long time was all aroused, and the defenses were so strict that it was like an iron barrel. I ventured a little further forward and was almost discovered. I took a long detour to come back.

If we continue hiding like this, it’s probably only a matter of time before we’re discovered…”

For a moment, everyone's expression became heavy.

Especially when Tong Shan unfolded the etheric record book he carried with him, there was still a large area of ​​darkness on the automatically recorded map, but all the explored places were covered with overlapping scarlet, a large amount of evil pollution residues and secret blockades. Various dangerous signs were densely packed like rain, covering all the blank areas.

It's simply a minefield everywhere!

And their location was already far beyond the range of the outpost. No, it would be more accurate to say that it was right under the buttocks of the evil cult!

For a moment, everyone looked around, feeling a sense of absurdity as if they were asking, "Where the hell are you?"

Is this still Haizhou?

"Things may not be that bad."

After a brief pause, Xu Guan, who had finished reading the records, coughed twice to boost the morale of the troops: "The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so there is still room for maneuver.

No matter how tight the blockade is, it is mainly external and may not be that strong internally.

You see, no matter how closely they cooperate, they can't be a family after all. If we can pretend to be one of them, maybe we can sneak out without causing any unrest? As long as we don't go in the direction of the outpost, we can just go out and make a detour and come back."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's eyes moved slightly in silence, but they all subconsciously looked up and looked at Tong Shan.

At this time, the prestige of the captain and the trust between members are revealed.

At this critical moment of life and death, everyone instinctively places their trust in others.

Tong Shan nodded slightly, without commenting: "Let's have a team meeting, everyone can express their opinions, speak for themselves, be responsible for themselves and for the team.

Who goes first?

Everyone hesitated.

In the outer circle next to him, Ji Jue, who was sitting on a high chair listening in, couldn't help but look up and glanced at him. His fingers hanging on his knees tapped twice subconsciously.

think.

Didn't Tong Shan express his opinion first? That's right. No matter what, his prestige is enough to influence the decisions of most people in the team. If he really wants to collect opinions, he must wait for others to speak first.

Gather opinions?
Is it really necessary?

If you plan to retreat, just make the decision directly. The direction has been decided, and the remaining details can be adjusted and refined. Why make so much trouble?
Or……

Ji Jue understood, and his eyes met Tong Shan's for a moment. They looked at each other without saying anything, and their eyes separated as soon as they met.

Both parties understood the situation clearly.

At this moment, the first person to stand up was Lou Feng.

"Feel sorry……"

His expression twitched, and he pinched the piece of spiritual crystal that had not yet broken in his hand: "I, my aunt has not been found yet, I...I want to stay."

As he spoke, he condensed another crystal from his palm and sealed it with spiritual essence: "Here is a letter, Captain Tong, just give it to the teacher.

Everyone has saved me more than once along the way. This is my own decision and has nothing to do with others."

Tong Shan accepted the spiritual crystal and said nothing.

"I'm not sure. They're both very dangerous." Jiang Xuan scratched his chin. "Since Xu Guan has a way, why not give it a try? The worst that can happen is death. If you fight one, you'll break even. If you fight two, you'll break even. If you fight three, you'll make a profit."

"Hey, I think I'm the big group, right?"

Ji Liu smiled, and after a long pause, he sighed, "Xiaoxue and I are just following orders, Captain Tong, you make the decision."

"I haven't said anything yet, how come you represent me?" Ji Xue glared angrily.

Ji Liu glanced at it and shrugged: "Then you say--"

"..."

Ji Xue grunted and held back for a long time, becoming more and more angry. She glared at her brother and said, "Me too!"

Xu Guan had a complicated expression. After all, they had been friends for so many years. No matter how slow he was, he should understand what he meant by now.

"Have you really thought about it?" he asked solemnly.

"I haven't thought it through. I'm confused, a mess, unsure, and unclear." Tong Shan answered bluntly: "This is the situation, I won't force it.

As a boss, I must consider the opinions of my subordinates.

This time, I will make it clear.”

Tong Shan folded his arms and looked around at everyone: "The situation is like this, the future is unpredictable. If you hesitate, you will only wait for death, or you can take a gamble and escape.

Or you can stay here and become a thorn in the side of the evil cult!"

"agree!"

Ji Liu raised his hand without thinking.

Ji Xue was a beat slower, and immediately became angry again, kicking her brother hard: "Me too!"

"Ah? Is that the case?" Jiang Xuan suddenly realized and grinned, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Aren't we going to be sent to the front line again after returning? From this point of view, there is no need."

"..."

Xu Guan hesitated for a long time and sighed, "I have no objection."

For a moment, in the silence, when Lou Feng was still stunned and surprised, Tong Shan's gaze finally fell on Ji Jue.

"Everyone has made the decision."

Ji Jue was puzzled, "Why are you asking me?"

"You and Mr. Lou are different from them."

Tong Shan sighed, "You are not from the Security Bureau, and you have never received a penny from Tianyuan... I dragged you into the trap. I know what Yacheng is like as well as you do, and there is no reason to call on you to stand up for the overall situation.

Craftsmen have no obligation to risk their lives. He hesitated and promised, "If you disagree, I will give priority to retreating."

"...You've already said that I'm not from the Security Bureau, so there's no reason for me to work for this mess." Ji Jue sighed.

Tong Shan remained silent.

"But I am still half a Yacheng person, right?"

Ji Jue became more and more helpless, and laughed at himself: "I am quite used to living here. If possible, I would have no problem living here for another ten years.

At a time like this, I can’t just stand by and watch, and run away with my family.”

He had already experienced firsthand the severity of natural disasters.

The horror of man-made disasters is probably even greater.

Once the Spring City explodes, I am afraid that most of Haizhou will be polluted and involved, and become a demonic realm like this.

For so many years, Quancheng has been sinking into darkness. Even now, even if he is hiding underground, he can still hear the faint cries and wails echoing like an illusion from deep in the soil.

Too much blood and tears.

So-called death, so-called despair...

But how many such hells do we need to create?
How disgusting does it have to be before you stop?

He doesn't have to be a friend of the Security Bureau.

But he and the Huaxie Cult have long been enemies!
From the moment that bunch of bastards sent the drifting Shi Xu to Yacheng... the death of only Liancheng is not enough!

Even if he can't be a good doctor, he can at least be a good craftsman.

There are always people with holes in their brains who like to say that "trash is treasure in the wrong place", but some trash is trash, and it is hopeless from the bottom of its heart. If there is really a little value in it...

What he can do is to send the fine materials and beautiful jades that have been placed in the wrong place back to where they should be!

In the dead silence, Ji Jue reached out and flicked the blade of the bone knife, listening to the subtle chirping. From the distant and resonant sound, he raised his head and looked at Tong Zhiwu's serious face.

Suddenly, with a compassionate smile:
"——At this point, can you still add more money?"
