Fellow Taoist: Do you have any spiritual stones on you?

Seeing everyone's astonished look, Fan Weimeng took a sip of spirit wine and grinned. His smile was meaningful, as if to say, you will look like this in the future.

"Then we can't build a batch of armor specifically to protect our fragile buttocks?" Gu Feng asked curiously.

"When we first came here, we did wear armor, but it broke after a short time. If the armor is damaged except during war, the army will not replace it.

Of course, you can also spend your own money to build it. There are many weapon refiners in the army. The key is that we have no money! Fan Wei spread his hands and said with a grimace.

Gu Feng took the map from Wu Qi's hand and studied it carefully. After a while, he asked doubtfully: "Judging from the terrain, this should be a paradise for many smugglers!"

"Yes, you have a good sense!" Fan Wei curled his lips and said, "This swamp spans Dachu and Dali. It is covered by fog, overgrown with vines, and has a relatively weak garrison. It is definitely the first choice for smugglers to cross the border. land."

"You can't fly for a long time in the Xiantian realm here, and it's difficult to move in the swamp in the Acquired realm. Even if you find a smuggler, you may not be able to catch up with him. Even if you catch up, during the fight, the opponent will find that he is defeated and immediately take off the smuggler. Ring, throw it into the swamp, destroy the evidence, if you catch the other party and there is no evidence, can’t you just let them go?”

After saying this, Gu Feng understood immediately.

"It seems that if we guard this place, it will be difficult to catch a smuggler who gains everything all year round!"

"Brother Gu, most of you are from sects, wouldn't you like to practice there? Why bother to suffer in this inhospitable place!"

"There's nothing I can do. The former captain has a big head and bought the right to operate this place for ten years!" Gu Feng said with a bitter face. Chu Youhuan on the side looked up at the sky, looking like it had nothing to do with him.

"You guys are miserable." Fan Wei shook his head.

"Brother Fan, do you have any advice?" Gu Feng said with a smile as he presented a pack of spirit stones.

"First, don't violate military discipline. The average tenure of our predecessors stationed here was less than two years. Because there was really no money to be made, they took desperate risks and cooperated with smuggling traders. As a result, these traders wrote anonymous letters and complained to the Military Discipline Office. Kill you."

"Second, life is the most important thing. Don't take risks just to arrest people..."

"..."

"Wish you guys good luck!"

"Brother Fan, walk slowly!"

After Fan Wei and others finished the handover and left, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.

"What should we do?" Chu Youhuan came over and asked softly.

"Cold salad!" Gu Feng said irritably.

"I know why they are so dark. Because there is no elixir, they can only forcibly absorb the poisonous spiritual energy in the air. This is why they are like this."

"No, I don't want to become a Heiwa. How can I get married in the future?"

"I'm thinking about which of these two amazing achievements, becoming a black baby or getting calluses on my butt, will be achieved first!"

"Brother, you are worrying too much. Whether you can leave alive or not is a question."

"Elder Liu must have known the inside story and deliberately concealed it."

"Tricked to death."

"..."

Everyone was whispering and looking miserable. Some female cultivators had tears in their eyes and were about to cry because the calluses on Heiwa's buttocks were too damaging to them.

"Wu Qi, please calculate how much it would cost to build a butt-protecting armor for everyone here?" Gu Feng asked in a deep voice.

"There should be no weapon refiner who has specially crafted this kind of protective gear. The materials required are almost one-fifth of the entire set of armor. It is only used for defense. The cost will be lower. If you want it to last longer, then make it into a low-grade spiritual weapon. , almost one hundred thousand spirit stones!"

One hundred thousand pieces? Then [-] million?

Gu Feng felt his head hurt. "Persevere for a while. When you make money, the first thing you do is to build armor."

"During this period, we take turns during the night break. Half of the people have weapons tied to their buttocks in the first half of the night, and they alternate in the second half of the night."

"Senior Sister Chu, you are fast on your feet. I'll give you [-] million. Please run over and buy a month's worth of food. I just need barbecue and some spiritual wine!"

Gu Feng gritted his teeth and took another ten million, asking Yan Xixi to go out with Chu Youhuan and buy some elixirs.

Twenty million was spent on food and elixirs. Everyone present saw it with red eyes and roared in their hearts. If I had twenty million, who would come to this hellish place to suffer.

"Brothers and sisters, don't worry, as the marshal of the 'Swamp Army', I won't let you suffer!"

Swamp Army was the name Gu Feng gave them. For the sake of their ability, no one objected.

It was not that Gu Feng had never thought about giving up, but once he gave up, it would mean that the one and a half months on the road were wasted, and he would be able to return to Luoxia Sect. He could not find where to go for a while, and defeating Shu Yuheng at the end of the year would become a big joke. .

"Since there are many smugglers here, there must be a way to crack down on them."

By the time Chu Youhuan and Yan Xixi returned here, it was almost evening. In fact, there was not much difference between day and night here, and the visibility was about the same.

After having dinner, we started to rest as planned.

Sitting on the vines with a spiritual weapon under his buttocks, he was harassed by demonic insects from time to time, which made him miserable.

Except for Ah Fei, almost no one can sleep deeply. He wakes up every time he burns incense, which is miserable.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Youhuan suddenly opened his eyes, listened for a few breaths with all his heart, and rushed into the mist.

This movement woke everyone up, and they all drew out their weapons and became alert.

After a while, Chu Youhuan came back.

"Did you find the smuggler?" Gu Feng stepped forward and asked.

"Yeah!" Chu Youhuan hummed in a low voice.

"What state is the opponent in?" Gu Feng didn't ask whether he had been caught or not. Such a stupid question was obviously not suitable to be asked by a coach.

"Looks like the fifth or sixth level of the acquired world!"

"Did you practice special martial arts?" Gu Feng's heart moved. Even with Chu Youhuan's strength, he couldn't catch a fifth or sixth level acquired monk. The opponent was obviously extraordinary.

"The combat power may not be very strong, but he has specially cultivated his body skills and the means of concealing his aura, and his alertness is also very high. The fog in the swamp hinders detection, making it difficult to catch him." Chu Youhuan said with some reluctance.

The atmosphere at the scene was low, with heads hanging down like cucumbers beaten by frost. Even the strongest Chu Youhuan couldn't catch the smugglers, let alone them.

"It's okay, I'll definitely catch him next time!" Gu Feng comforted with a smile.

In the next few days, traces of smugglers can be found not only at night, but even during the day. However, the problem is that they are like loaches, slippery and impossible to catch.

Now, even Chu Youhuan, who was in a high mood at first and had full confidence in himself, lost his temper. He sat on the vine every day, drank wine and ate meat, and started to mess around.

"It can't go on like this!"

Gu Feng understood that if this continued, the team would definitely collapse. He had high expectations for the swamp. Did he expect it to bring him boundless wealth?

"Gu Feng, don't worry, there will always be a way." Yan Xixi came to comfort him.

"How can we not be anxious? If this continues, food for the next month will become a problem, and I will not have many spiritual stones left." Gu Feng said with a bitter smile.

"Senior Zhu, do you have any plans?"

"Have!"

"Tell me and listen." Hearing this, Gu Feng felt happy.

"Buy me a batch of thunder-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so that my strength will increase rapidly, and then I will help you catch the smugglers."

"What a strategy, what a strategy." Gu Feng rolled his eyes and stopped talking to him.

Gu Feng frowned and sat on the vine, holding a roasted leg in his hand and tearing it apart bit by bit.

pat-

Inadvertently, the roasted leg fell into the swamp and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

An apple made Newton discover gravity, and a roasted leg gave Gu Feng an idea and lifted his spirits.

If you are really good at arresting people, you might be able to catch one or two smugglers in ten days and a half if you are lucky, but you will not be able to stop them from throwing the storage ring into the swamp. In the end, it will still be in vain.

Instead of risking your life and working hard, why not wait and wait?

"Item Refiner, is there an Weapon Refiner here?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Who would be willing to come here and suffer if he knew how to refine weapons?

"I studied when I was a child, but I didn't learn it!" Liu Sanbang, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, staggered over.

"Liu Sanbang, what's wrong with you? You haven't slept well these days?" At this time, Liu Sanbang was much thinner than before entering the swamp, his face was pale, and he had no energy at all.

"There are thorns on the vines, but there are also thorns on my spiritual weapon mace, and they are sharper than those on the vines. How can I use it to pad my butt? I haven't slept for several days." Liu Sanbang said weakly.

Everyone present looked suspicious. They looked at the mace on his shoulder and the densely packed steel spikes that shone with cold light. They were glad in their hearts that they did not choose the mace as a weapon.

"Hahaha--"

The decadent atmosphere was swept away, and everyone laughed unbridled.

Gu Feng also smiled and shook his head, his face straightened, and he began to describe the spiritual weapon in his mind.

"A trap-like spiritual weapon that can trap the peak Houtian realm, is secretive, will not be triggered when monsters step on it, has no gaps, and is similar to a big net?" Liu Sanbang murmured to himself and began to think.

"This kind of spiritual weapon should be able to be made, but the cost will definitely be very expensive. Even if it is not a high-grade spiritual weapon, the price will not be lower than that of a high-grade spiritual weapon."

"It also depends on the size of the spiritual weapon. If it is very big, it may be more expensive than the best spiritual weapon!" Wu Qi also came over and expressed his opinion.

"If it were to be made one foot square, how many spiritual stones would be needed?"

"It may take between two million and three million! The main reason is that you only target monks, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of sending monster insects to interfere." Wu Qi said in a low voice.

"You can set the gravity. The monsters here are not big. No matter how light the monk is, there are very few people weighing less than a hundred kilograms. Why not set a gravity condition that triggers a weight of more than eighty kilograms?" Don't look at Liu San. The stick is big and thick, and the brain is really good.

When Gu Feng heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Brothers and sisters, I decided to create five of the spiritual weapons I just mentioned, and use the method of netting fish to catch smugglers who break through.

After finding some smugglers, in addition to purchasing food and elixirs, all the remaining proceeds were used to purchase this spiritual weapon.

At that time, everyone will have one, and after the smuggled goods are seized, the commission will be [-]%! "

"Don't think that five percent is a small amount. I will give you a basic salary in the future. Even if you are unlucky and can't catch the smugglers, you will still have the resources to practice. If you are in the Qi-entraining realm, I will give you the acquired realm. Allocate resources, and so on, like our Senior Sister Chu, I will give her the resources of Yunling Realm!"

"Not only that, I will also spend huge sums of money in the later period to build several spirit boats that can travel quickly in the swamps. When I find that smugglers have been arrested, you will drive the spirit boats and swish to them. Next, solemnly announce to them that you are under arrest."

"In the end, I will build a war fortress in the swamp. By then, we will be awesome. We will eat, drink and have fun in the fortress every day. If anyone is caught, we will go out to fish for them!"

"..."

"We, the Marsh Army, will become the envy of everyone on the border of Chu State!!!"

"At that time, you will not only have a regular army establishment, but also countless wealth and a large group of subordinates!"

Before the money was earned, Gu Feng started drawing cakes for them. Hearing everyone yelling, he always felt that hope was in front of him, and a lot of spiritual stones were also in front of him.

Just do it. As soon as he finished motivating everyone, Gu Feng followed Chu You out of the swamp and went to the nearby military camp to look for the weapon refiner.
