After daybreak, the senior brother, who was covered with a gauze scarf, looked down. Pieces of dead pangolin corpses were piled under the city. Most of them were burnt, and many were stuck together to form a large black mass.

The smell of charcoal and fishy smell soared into the sky, and even the gauze scarf could not cover it up. The senior brother covered his nose with both hands, looked at it briefly and then shrank back.

"What a pity. How much did this fire cost?"

The junior brothers were also very sorry: "Yes, although there are only ten of these things, there are so many...the fire burned hundreds of them."

While everyone was chatting, the monks from Yidu who were serving as a reserve team in the front camp under the city had already assembled and drove up the city wall to take over from Shendandu. They had been stationed at the top of the city for three days and they should go down to rest.

The senior brother glanced outside the city again and waved: "Junior brothers and sisters, let's go back and rest."

The disciples followed the senior brother down to the city. On the way, they met more than ten female disciples from the Incense Burner Sect. They hurried past them. The leading female disciple was still explaining to the fellow disciples behind them: "It is not easy to refine these fragrant powders. You should try your best to save them."

Just use some to cover up the smell..."

Gu Zuo came down from the South Main Peak, followed by Cheng Shanhu, Liu Xuanji, and Jia Gui. Only now did he have some free time to go to the city wall to inspect the defenses.

It was Gu Zuo's deliberate choice to lead a small number of people. It is majestic to support him in front of him, but to be honest, considering the overall situation of South Wuzhou, it is unfavorable. The reason is very simple. Until now, most people still don't know

, the person leading them to fight against the beast tide now is just a little Qi Refiner.

After Gu Zuo took charge of Southern Wu Prefecture, he spent most of his time in the mines. In order to get the naturalization introduction fee, those sects who introduced the situation of Southern Wu Prefecture intentionally or unintentionally mentioned "Gu Changshi"

The realm of cultivation is omitted. Therefore, most of the monks and people who are naturalized in Nanwu Prefecture do not understand his situation.

Those who have flocked to South Wu Prefecture in the past half month are even more unaware of this. They usually see Chengshanhu, Yuan Taoist, Liu Xuanji, Jia Gui and other foundation builders. They have heard of it.

They are Taoist Priest Lingyuan, Elder Tu, Deacon Shang and other golden elixirs. Most people don’t even know that the surname of Nanwu Governor Shi is Gu!

Under such circumstances, it is obviously inappropriate to show one's face publicly, as it is not conducive to the great cause of resisting the beast. Come quietly, go quietly, and do not take away a cloud after understanding the situation. This is the right thing to do.

Keep a sense of mystery and distance will be better.

Gu Zuo mingled behind Cheng Shanhu and others and quickly checked the city defenses. He asked Cheng Shanhu, Liu Xuanji and Jia Gui to ask about the situation of duty and combat in the past few days. He listened silently and took down notes from the frontline monks.

Suggestions and demands came out and they quietly walked down the city wall.

Returning to Chang Shi's Mansion, Gu Zuo retrieved the roster, summoned a group of Husi personnel, and sorted out the list of monks again, focusing on finding talents who knew how to refine magic weapons and magic armor.

During the inspection just now, the problems mentioned by the monks in the front camp mainly focused on two aspects. One was the lack of city-defending magic weapons such as large spiritual crossbows, and the other was the worry that the magic armor and magic weapons would not be replenished after they were damaged.

The two problems are essentially the same problem. Southern Wu Prefecture lacks a weapon-refining sect such as the Jinjia Sect.

The butcher went to Luofu County and Heishan County to purchase a batch of French armor and magic weapons, each amounting to more than a hundred pieces, but compared with the needs of the two to three thousand Southern Wu Army monks, it was really not enough.

Without a sect that is good at refining weapons, the problem of replenishing magic armor and magical weapons cannot be solved. After a few battles, the problem will be exposed immediately.

Unfortunately, after searching, he found that among so many monks, there was not even one from a weapon-refining sect such as the Golden Armor Sect, which really surprised him. So he checked the backgrounds of the monks to see if there were any monks from major sects.

On the contrary, I found quite a few among those masters who were in the later stages of foundation building.

These masters in the late stage of foundation building were assigned to Luo, Qiu, and Xie Jindan as emergency support combat forces. Gu Zuo was a person who had worked in Yunmeng Sect, and he knew clearly that these large sects had weapon refiners.

Those who inherited it were even better at refining weapons than some of the weapon refining sects, so I asked the master to ask them one by one.

The result of the master's questioning made Gu Zuo very disappointed. None of these people had practiced the art of weapon refining.

"They are all outstanding figures in the sect, such as Qinggu from the Yunquan Fairy Hall in Xiqiao Mountain, Zhang Mowen from the Wangwu Sect, and Ouyang Taoist Fellow from the Wei Yu Sect. They are all highly regarded by the sect and are very young.

He has completed the foundation building and was sent to southern Xinjiang to hone his skills in order to obtain the golden elixir that can break through the realm. He has never been exposed to the Taoist skills of our sect."

Gu Zuo was helpless after hearing this, but after thinking about it, it was the same. Each sect sent people to Southern Xinjiang to hone their skills, and they must be mainly people with good fighting skills. Most of those who are good at secondary training in Taoism are not good at fighting, so why send them to Southern Xinjiang to die?

?

It can also be inferred from this that the thousands of monks who have flocked to Nanwu Prefecture to take refuge are probably most of them brave and fierce fighting people. They are "martial men" trained vigorously by various sects to protect their sects. They want to find a dedicated cultivator.

It is also difficult to learn auxiliary Taoism.

This is Gu Zuo. In order to develop Southern Wu State, he specially searched for small sects with special skills, such as the incense burner door for making Taoist robes, the Wanhe Valley for inlaying demon pills, the Hanshan sect for refining spiritual wine, and refining storage magic weapons.

Guchimen, the Lotus Leaf Sect that grows elixirs, Sanhe Grain Shop that specializes in spiritual plants, etc., are still halfway there!

After thinking for a moment, Gu Zuo called Zhao Xianglu over and said, "Master Zhao, I have been helping to manage the treasury recently. There are so many things going on, it's been really hard."

"Thanks to the master, it's okay. The disciples are very willing to make some efforts to resist the beast tide."

"That's it. Gu has been thinking that there are eighteen disciples of the Incense Burner Sect in Nanwu Prefecture, and they all go to help Treasurer Jia organize the material reserves. They are a bit overqualified. Can you please ask the leader Zhao to take the lead and bring six skilled people?

Disciples come out and use the materials in the warehouse to refine the magic armor? Today I went to the south city wall to see the situation of the monsters. It is not optimistic. I think we need to prepare for a long time. In this way, the replenishment of the magic armor is very important."

Zhao Xianglu had a troubled look on his face: "I, Xianglumen, are responsible for refining Taoist robes. Although Taoist robes and French armor are fundamentally the same, there are still significant differences after all. It's not that I don't want to refine it, I'm just afraid of the refined French armor."

It is no match for the Spirit Guard Armor of the Golden Armor Sect. If our comrades are killed or injured due to this, I, the Incense Burner Sect, cannot shoulder this responsibility."

Gu Zuodao: "Even if you want to refine the spirit armor, we can't do it because we don't have such complete materials. Haven't we harvested a lot of furs from demon pigs and rabbits these days? What Gu means is to use these furs to make armors.

, you can just refine Taoist robes, okay?"

Zhao Xianglu hesitated: "It's okay, but the protective effect is definitely not as good as the spirit armor."

Gu Zuo asked: "Is it better than without armor? Is it stronger than ordinary armor? It's better than nothing, what do you think?"

Zhao Xianglu finally nodded: "Then I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work well, please don't take offense to the owner."

Please ask Xian Lu Men to make armor from monster animal skins. This is a helpless solution. It temporarily solves the problem of magic armor. Next, there is the magic weapon.
