“Five years?” Zhou Shu frowned. “That’s too long! Is there a way to speed it up?”
“This is already very fast,” Zhang Chunlin said. “Yao Yi, Yao Er, and the others are all very good and are of great help. That’s why I dare to say that it will take five years. If there are only us, even with double the time, we might not be able to complete the mission you arranged.
“If you want to shorten the time, you’ll have to increase our manpower. But this is the Demon Realm…”
Zhang Chunlin shook his head. There were no forgers in the Demon Realm. Yao Yi, Yao Er, and the other demonic beasts who knew how to forge were definitely the odd ones out. It was impossible to find more of them.
Increase manpower??Zhou Shu frowned. There were still some forgers in the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch, but they all had their own missions. The supply of weapons for the Ten Nations Alliance couldn’t stop.
But he definitely didn’t have five years. Demon King Hu Li wouldn’t give him that long.
“Let me think about it.”
Zhou Shu pondered. He would discuss it with Shi Changsheng later. His attainments in forging were extremely deep, and he might be able to come up with a good solution.
“Stop what you’re doing first. You, Yao Wu, and Yao Liu, come and help me,” Zhou Shu said.
Ji Lutian was a genius. The Nine Heavens Nine Sections that he had specially trained were for forging. Their cultivation levels were extremely high, and their mastery of single forging techniques was even stronger than most Forging Masters.
With their help, Zhou Shu didn’t need to worry about processing the materials at all.
When Zhang Chunlin was working with the Nine Heavens Nine Sections, he felt like the world had gone crazy.
Humanoid demonic beasts were still fine. But seeing these demonic beasts waving their huge claws and refining forging materials, Zhang Chunlin felt like he was dreaming.
How did such a dreamlike thing happen?!
In recent days, Zhang Chunlin had seen too many things that shocked him.
Therefore, although he was extremely shocked to see Zhou Shu draw a star path out of thin air and then forge a weapon, he was able to maintain his composure on the surface.
He realized that no matter what the man in front of him did, he felt that it was very normal. If he really did something ordinary, Zhang Chunlin would feel that it was abnormal.
Who could turn into a demonic beast and toy with a group of Great Demons?
Who could be so successful in the Demon Realm that millions of soldiers of the Demon Realm would help him mine?
Who would think of cheating a demonic beast of their forging materials?
In Zhang Chunlin’s eyes, Zhou Shu was not a normal person at all!
With the help of Zhang Chunlin and the Nine Heavens Nine Sections, in just seven or so days, a weapon had already taken shape between Zhou Shu’s hands.
When the weapon was formed, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and the faint sound of thunder came from the dark clouds.
Zhou Shu felt a little helpless. This was the bad thing about forging connate weapons. It was completely impossible to hide.
It was impossible to keep a low profile!
The arrival of every connate divine weapon was earth-shattering. Anyone who was not blind could tell.
But this time, there was no need to worry too much.
He could totally say that it was to forge the Demon King Palace. Anyway, Demon King Hu Li had gone out to gather forging materials and wouldn’t be back for a while. He was in charge here now.
Boom!
Lightning gathered in the air, ready to strike at any moment. Zhou Shu’s figure swayed as he left the cave and threw the weapon out.
The weapon shone brightly, and the lightning in the sky instantly struck down, completely drowning the weapon.
Zhang Chunlin’s expression changed. This was the first time he had seen a connate divine weapon descend into the world.
He wasn’t the only one. Yao Wu, Yao Liu, and the other demonic beasts also widened their eyes.
“The descent of a connate divine weapon requires the baptism of heavenly lightning. This is similar to a Great Demon breaking through to the Demon King realm. If it can withstand the heavenly lightning, it can achieve success. If it can’t, it will die,” Zhou Shu said indifferently.
“A connate divine weapon?” Zhang Chunlin muttered to himself. He had never heard of such a divine weapon before. It was an eye-opener.
But he didn’t understand why Zhou Shu would suddenly choose to forge a weapon at a time like this.
Shouldn’t he hurry up and think of a way to take away the forging materials here?
Was there any point in forging this weapon?
Boom!
Thunder rumbled. Amid the lightning, the weapon suddenly emitted a seven-colored light. Heaven and earth spiritual energy surged and poured into the weapon.
Zhang Chunlin vaguely saw someone’s meridian diagram appear in the shadow of the weapon. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulated in the weapon.
Swish—
Zhou Shu reached out and held the weapon in his hand. The colorful light gradually converged. Zhang Chunlin, Yao Wu, Yao Liu, and the other demonic beasts all looked at the weapon.
Even though they usually didn’t use weapons, there was still a look of amazement in the eyes of Yao Wu and Yao Liu.
At this moment, there was the sound of rushing wind. A few Great Demons appeared not far away.
Such a commotion still attracted the attention of the nearby Great Demons. They rushed over to check. Even Yao Jun came.
“Nephew Yao Qing, what are you…” A Great Demon looked at the weapon in Zhou Shu’s hand in confusion.
Yao Jun blinked and looked at the weapon in Zhou Shu’s hand.?Didn’t Lord Yao Qing say that we demonic beasts shouldn’t use human weapons? Why is he learning how to forge weapons like humans?
To demonic beasts, they didn’t consider why there would be such a commotion when forging. They didn’t know much about forging to begin with.
“Fishing.” Zhou Shu calmly looked at the Great Demons, Yao Jun, and the other first-rank demonic beasts.
“Fishing?”
All the demonic beasts looked at Zhou Shu in confusion. They could understand the word fishing, but what did the weapon in Zhou Shu’s hand have to do with fishing?
“I need the help of human forgers to build the Demon King Palace for Demon King Hu Li. Isn’t there a hidden human army in the Demon Realm? I want to use this to lure them out,” Zhou Shu explained.
The demonic beasts were enlightened. So, it was like this. But what did this have to do with fishing?
They couldn’t figure it out.
But it wasn’t important. Yao Qing must have his reasons for doing what he did.
“Everyone, disperse. Go about your business!” Yao Jun shouted.
The demonic beasts were simple-minded. They were easily fooled, but Zhang Chunlin was a human and an experienced official. He could naturally tell that Zhou Shu’s words were perfunctory.
Using a weapon to lure the human army out? Wouldn’t that make them look like fools?
Could anything be related to the forging of the Demon King Palace? Most importantly, the demonic beasts didn’t suspect anything!
If he had known that demonic beasts were so easy to deceive, he, Zhang Chunlin, would have escaped long ago.
He had forgotten that demonic beasts wouldn’t believe his words so easily.
After the demonic beasts dispersed, Yao Wu, Yao Liu, and the other demonic beasts went to do their work. Zhang Chunlin lowered his voice and whispered, “What exactly do you want to do? Why did you suddenly forge a bow?”
Zhang Chunlin couldn’t suppress his curiosity.
Zhou Shu glanced at him and said casually, “Don’t ask so many questions.”
“Why can’t I ask? We’re on the same boat now!” Zhang Chunlin whispered. “I have to know your plan! This concerns the lives of more than a hundred of us!”
“I saved your lives. If anyone doesn’t want to listen to me, it’s simple. I’ll just send you back again,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
Zhang Chunlin was furious. His expression changed. But in the end, he didn’t dare to be too unyielding.
“I didn’t mean it that way. I just want to know what you’re planning. That way, we can play along. Otherwise, we might ruin your plan.” Zhang Chunlin tried his best to speak in a calm tone.
“No need. All you have to do is follow orders,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Do your job. I’m going out.”
With that, he left the cave and instantly disappeared, leaving Zhang Chunlin with a dark expression.
