Chapter 481: The sticks are turned into guns
Zhou You has always insisted that free-range farming is of higher quality than caged farming.

After taming the crane, he used the seal character '御' to establish contact with it. He then released the crane back into the wild and allowed it to develop on its own.

He would be called back to his side every now and then to practice boxing and weapons with Dahe, and to strengthen the effect of the seal character "御".

Ever since he tamed the giant snake in Sogo City, Zhou You's comprehension and mastery of seal script has become more proficient.

Different from Kunpengzi's 'Gu' which distorts the mind and is similar to hypnosis, Zhouyou's 'Control' is upright and honest.

After taming the giant snake and the giant crane in succession, he gained a deeper understanding of the usefulness of seal script and developed more diverse techniques.

To control subordinates, it is not just about suppressing and exploiting them with force, but also about finding a balance between relaxation and tension.

It's a truth that ordinary people all know: if you give someone a slap in the face, you'll be rewarded with a sweet date; if you feed him a stick all day, even his own son will turn against you.

"What should I feed you?"

Before he was tamed, Da He liked to tear people apart alive. Now that he has turned over a new leaf, he must change his bad habits.

Zhou You decided that if all else failed, he would buy more cattle, sheep and fat pigs to feed the cranes, which was better than eating people.

After taming the big crane, I felt refreshed and energized.

This area has been completely hunted by the cranes. Not to mention wild beasts, even warriors and wizards who set foot in it will become food.

After Zhou You left the recovery area, he finally met some living people and immediately engaged in a battle.

"Yan Baihu of Daying Mountain killed five of the 'Ten Great Prodigies' of the Wuren Tribe Alliance, ranking first in combat performance."

"Wu Luoye, the sorcerer, killed two brave generals from Dayin Mountain. Sun Hua, the disciple of Xishan Duxiu, ranked first among the sorcerers."

"Liu Fengji, a son of an aristocratic family, is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the descendant of the witch chief Gao Yang. Both sides have companions and followers, and there are over a hundred martial artists involved."

"Lin Mochi of Chongguang City was killed, the mysterious pocket fell into the hands of the witch, and the secret was leaked."

"The sorcerer Jia Xiang, one of the 'Ten Great Prodigies', manipulated the evil magic weapon 'Hair and Bone Felt' to kill Wan Xiu Mountain's strong warrior Lian Cun Yi."

"It seems that the Golden Immortal Dao's means have emerged. There are warriors who shuttle through the witch flags, come and go freely, and hunt down witches in return."

"The Ministry of Hundred Works used the secret treasure 'Six Sen Gan Luo Statue' to trap three powerful warriors from the Wu Ren. The powerful warriors from Dayin Mountain and Wanxiu Mountain are rushing over to capture them all."

"..."

Various news came from all directions.

He traveled around with a stick in his hand, exchanged information with warriors he met, and beat wizards to death with the stick and looted the spoils.

It gets a bit boring after a while, and the battlefield is mostly filled with calm stalemates and tug-of-war. After all, top warriors are rare, and you may not encounter one even if you kill a hundred weaklings.

"..."

Zhou You measured the tip of the stick with his palm, gestured a few times, and then installed the dagger on the stick.

Well, the wooden stick can be installed as a dagger, and in a blink of an eye it can be switched into an iron spear, or a steel gun.

After many bloody battles, his stick skills were honed to perfection and he also came up with many ingenious moves.

For example, combining a wooden stick with an indestructible dagger would combine the advantages and strengths of both.

The dagger is fused with the remains of latent charm, and can break the body of a warrior of the first or second level, but its disadvantage is that the attack range is too short, and it must be stabbed at close range.

The wooden stick has a wider attack range, but as a sharp weapon, it is often difficult to kill with one strike.

Two in one, the best choice!

I swung the stick, rotated it, and thrust it, and found that my center of gravity had shifted slightly forward, so I had to change my usual technique.

As luck would have it, there were several witches hiding deep in the witch flag ahead, hunting down passing warriors. Zhou You stepped forward with the "iron spear", holding the talisman in his palm, emitting a faint ink glow, and walked to the front and raised his hand.

A witch flag that looked like a gauze curtain emerged from the void, and a witch curled up in the folds, holding a weapon and waiting to strike.

He suddenly realized something was wrong, looked around, and found that he was exposed.

Just when he was confused, a white light shot out in front of him, entered his eye sockets, and pierced through his head with a "whoosh".

Zhou You swung his hand and threw the corpse away. It felt like he was piercing a rotten watermelon, with the flesh like mushy paste.

First, the blade tip is sharp, and second, his weapon skills are powerful, so he can destroy the enemy with one blow.

It has been said that the stick is the ancestor of all weapons, which means that in ancient times, the earliest weapons mastered by humans were wooden sticks made by cutting branches and trunks according to local conditions.

Later, people inlaid round stones, pointed tips and thin slices on the top of the stick to make weapons such as hammers, guns and stone axes.

The materials of the sticks became copper and iron, and they were made into oval, square, and bamboo-jointed shapes to become iron whips and iron maces. After being flattened and sharpened on both sides, they became swords.

Therefore, once you master the stick technique, there are endless possibilities, and you can switch to any other weapon by analogy.

Zhou You originally practiced the tiger-head hammer, but later on, he gathered the essence of many boxing techniques and created his own stick-based fighting style.

Now, I have gone a step further and thought of combining the dagger and the stick into one to practice shooting!
"Come on, come on, moisten the tip of my gun for me."

Zhou You pinched the handle of the stick with three fingers and gently rotated it. The iron tip floated up and down like a wandering starlight. It pierced the wizard's armpit, penetrated his chest and came out of his mouth.

Then he kicked him right in the chest, and the body fell to the ground like a bag.

Before he could retract his gun, Zhou You heard another witch's angry shout, "Die."

It turned out that the wizard had a companion. He knew that the wizard flag could not be hidden, so he actually dug a hole in the ground and hid there, waiting for the right opportunity to show up and launch a surprise attack.

With the sound of breaking through the air, a number of smiling poisonous insects flapped their wings rapidly and flew towards them.

It swept across a large area, stirring up a strong gust of wind. The poisonous insects rushed one after another and hit the handle and iron tip of the stick, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

He aimed at the target and stabbed again and again. Each time he stabbed, he hit a poisonous insect, causing it to explode on the spot.

The wizard who had attacked wanted to attack from behind, but he swung his stick in his backhand and swept across. The violent wind from the stick tore him in half, breaking his upper and lower body into two. He struggled and groped on the ground for half a day before he died.

The gun and the stick are inseparable. He uses the stick to hit people randomly and then switches seamlessly to the gun. Every time he pokes someone, they make no sound.

"Ah, Overlord Spear, you are Little Overlord Yan Wanjun."

When Zhou You heard this, his face turned dark on the spot. What kind of look is that? I am the one and only hungry tiger Zhou You.

He swung his stick back and smashed the wizard's eyes, which had poor eyesight. The remaining force was so strong that the wizard's brains were pulled out.

Unknowingly, the number of souls killed by the gun has accumulated to more than twenty, most of them are martial artists, but there are also unlucky Qi and blood minions.

However, he never encountered another enemy of the level of the Ten Great Prodigies.

It is said that among the witch tribe, the top ten geniuses are regarded as the highest honor, and it is better to have no one than to have too few, and the evaluation is extremely strict.

Usually, a vacant position is filled with another one, and there will never be more than one. Even if one has the strength of one of the top ten, he will be eliminated if his military achievements are not enough.

In this battle, more than one genius fell, and the ranking of the top ten geniuses was also reshuffled.

One after another, unknown wizards emerged and killed the elite disciples of Dayin Mountain and Wanxiu Mountain.

"The sorcerer Sima Nu, who killed Huo Yulang of the Jueguang Sect, was promoted to one of the Ten Greatest Prodigies."

Huo Yulang, the most prominent son of the Huo family in the capital city, is generally considered to be on par with Liu Fengji.
