Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Nine – Formation Breakthrough

When Lil’ Pagoda led Zuo Mo into a storeroom, he was dumbstruck.

Inside the storeroom, the piles of Rotten Metal Silver were like mountains. Other than the Rotten Metal Silver ore, there was a little pile of ore of various colors.

“Where did this come from?” Zuo Mo pointed at the little pile and asked Lil’ Pagoda.

Lil’ Black shot and climbed up to his hands, furiously waving its pair of antennae. Zuo Mo instantly understood. So it was Lil Black. He complimented, “Lil’ Black is very smart!” He put a lingdan on his palm. Lil’ Black used its forelimbs to grab the lingdan and cheerfully climbed away.

Lil’ Pagoda was connected in mind with Zuo Mo. He could feel Lil’ Pagoda’s intentions of wanting credit. As he saw its round and chubby body swing and tremble, he instantly grinned.

Feeling Zuo Mo’s happiness, Lil’ Pagoda was even more smug, twirling around Zuo Mo, shaking its body so the gourds on the eaves rang.

Silly Bird was full of pride, but her eyes were staring greedily at the lingdan that Lil’ Black was pinching. Gulp, the throat visibly swallowed. Zuo Mo coincidentally caught it, and instantly roared with laughter, pointing at Silly Bird and mocking, “You glutton!”

Zuo Mo was not angry, and threw two lingdan at it. Silly Bird easily picked them up in her beak, shook the feathers on her body, and, without a trace of shame, proudly left.

After he finished laughing, Zuo Mo looked at the mountainous piles of ore and felt a dilemma.

After making the Black Processing Meditation mats, his need for Rotten Metal Silver had instantly decreased. However, if he didn’t use the large amount of ore that was piled up here, then it was such a waste. The grade of the Rotten Metal Silver was not high, but it was a frequently used material. But if it was to be smelted and purified, it wouldn’t take just a while to finish with such a large pile. It was not worth it to spend the time.

Zuo Mo quickly thought of a solution to roughly process the ore.

He would make billets of Rotten Metal Silver, and then forge them again when it was time for them to used. Metal billets would not take as much space as raw ore. Zuo Mo had to consider the amount of space his dimensional ring had. The other reason was that he could use formations to do rough forging which saved time.

Zuo Mo had never seen formations used specifically for forging, but it did not stop him from making such a decision.

As his comprehension of formations deepened, Zuo Mo’s confidence increased. It was undoubtedly an extremely interesting matter to do something that had never been seen before. He decided to make a large formation that could forge all of the Rotten Metal Silver ore into billets.

Rotten Metal Silver was a third-grade material, and it was not hard to smelt. It did not require Golden Crow Fire. Zuo Mo did not plan on using Golden Crow Fire. Golden Crow Fire might be pure, but there was not enough, especially to smelt so much ore at once.

The fire formation Zuo Mo chose was of course not a low level formation like Li Fire Formation, but a fourth-grade fire formation called [Jade Flame Formation]. [Jade Flame Formation] could produce green flames that were more than enough to smelt the Rotten Metal Silver ore.

However, it was the first time Zuo Mo was working with so much ore. He needed to carefully consider how to set it up.

Pu Yao and Gongsun Cha were fiercely fighting in War Chess.

To let this person and yao play War Chess anywhere, Zuo Mo remade the War Chess again. The excuse was to make it a leveling kind of game. Then he threw it to Gongsun Cha. Gongsun Cha guessed it, but was happy to play stupid. In any case, he just wanted to play War Chess with the mysterious person.

Without anything to do, Pu Yao was naturally willing, especially when he saw how smug Zuo Mo was recently, he became very discontent. His [Golden-Wing Great Roc Matrix] did not produce the effect he predicted. Pu Yao vented all his displeasure onto Gongsun Cha.

The pitiful Gongsun Cha, having just managed to make an acceptable three section wave killing charge and just as he reached the level of being able to use ten soldiers to kill five of Pu Yao’s soldiers, Pu Yao, without a second word, directly put out a new killing move – the interlocking wall style defense formation that was specially made to defeat the three second wave killing charge.

Consequently, Gongsun Cha was defeated by Pu Yao so badly he couldn’t find which way was north.

Gongsun Cha was so abused that he wanted to die. He gritted his teeth with red eyes as he started the game again.

Feeling that he had not vented the displeasure inside, Pu Yao did not hesitate in accepting.

Twelve matches, Pu Yao used twelve different tactics. Each time, Gongsun Cha’s forces were completely obliterated, not one soldier remaining.

———

Even if Gongsun Cha was extremely hardy, and did not falter, he had been killed to the point that his face became green. When he returned to the camp, Gongsun Cha’s black face, and the terrifying pressure and coldness exuded by him made everyone shudder, their little hearts jumping rapidly.

Gongsun Cha slightly raised his head. On his handsome face, there was a small dark smile.

The camp instantly became deathly silent.

At night, Gongsun Cha found Zuo Mo. “There was someone spying on us today, he was killed.” He looked full of energy, without any of the displeasure and darkness he had during the day.

“Did you find who it was?” Zuo Mo stopped what he was doing.

“A subordinate of someone called Venerable Chi. Xie Shan recognized him,” Gongsun Cha said unconcernedly. “Supposedly, he has about one hundred people.”

“They have intentions towards us?” Zuo Mo felt slightly surprised. It was the first time he had encountered someone that had tried to find trouble with them of their own accord.

“Maybe they feel that we pose a threat,” Gongsun Cha pondered as he rubbed his chin.

“Why don’t we fight?” Zuo Mo probed. He was very surprised. Gongsun Cha was a battle maniac, but speaking up until now, he still hadn’t mentioned fighting.

“The group has progressed very quickly recently. It’s best to wait a while longer,” Gongsun Cha explained. They had enough jingshi at the moment, and did not need to rush.

Zuo Mo also understood. After the formations had been carved, the equilibrium of their bodies had been broken, the growth of ling power had increased. This situation would continue for a while longer until they reached a new equilibrium.

He suddenly thought of a wonderful idea. “I have a way for them to quickly increase strength.”
