blue sky city.

The "Tianwai Meteorite" was discovered from the deserted beach in the south of Blue Sky City. It is rumored that there was a violent earthquake from the depths of the ground that day, which disturbed countless communities on land and in the sea. cause too much loss.

After the earthquake, the barren beach seemed to be cut by something, leaving a deep wound, and a large amount of "black water" gushed out from the crack, and then there was this translucent black mysterious spar that suddenly appeared.

Some people say that it is a treasure that fell from the sky, and some people say that it is an evil spirit that escaped from hell.

Only Qi Luo, the sorcerer of the Blue Sky King City, said that it looks like iron but not iron, crystal and non-crystal, and it is a kind of gemstone with a lot of energy. Any iron is not enough to cut it, and only extraordinary methods can melt it. .

As if to confirm the prophecy of the sorcerer Qi Luo, the well-known forging masters of the Blue Sky King City tried their best one after another, but they failed one by one.

Their proud weapons, even in the hands of the most powerful fighters, cannot split the mysterious spar even a single bit.

No matter how big a high-temperature furnace is built, no matter how strong the flame is, it cannot be melted.

Forced to do so, Blue Sky City sent out invitation letters to other blacksmiths in the mainland.

Everyone's attention was focused on the huge "Meteorite", but no one cared about the "black water" emerging from the ground.

Shen Qingze took his big ax and was personally led by the president of the Forging Association to the underground palace under the Blue Sky King City.

The underground palace was built by the ancestors of the royal family of Blue Sky City. It is specially used for refuge and storage of treasures. It has existed for hundreds of years. The four walls are made of unknown materials. They are solid and thick, and can also isolate the sound.

The sea clan night pearl the size of a fist in ten steps, and the eternal lamp burning with whale blubber above the head, illuminate the huge and luxurious underground palace brightly and brightly.

Just like the blacksmiths in Blue Sky City, the blacksmith masters of the three empires have failed one after another, and Shen Qingze has become the last hope of Wangcheng. If even he can't help it, then this mysterious treasure will be buried in the underground palace forever, and never seen again. It's day.

The "Tianwai Meteorite" preserved in the underground palace is about half a person's height, inlaid on a white jade base.

It is a multi-faceted irregular translucent crystal. Under the light of the long-burning lamp, each face reflects a colorful and clear luster, which is dazzling.

The forging masters from the three empires watched coldly from the sidelines, even their famous veteran generals failed, so naturally they didn't want Shen Qingze, an unknown junior, to step on them to take the position.

Only the president of the Forging Association looked forward to Shen Qingze with anticipation.

The latter frowned helplessly. The appearance of this piece of "Meteor Iron" was easily reminiscent of a diamond.

Diamond is known as the hardest substance in nature, with a melting point as high as [-] degrees Celsius. Only cutting tools made of the same diamond, or even lasers, can deal with it.

Shen Qingze took the steel ax and slashed along its lines twice, the steel ax could hardly be controlled to be bounced away by the strong shock force.

Different from ordinary diamonds in the previous life, there is a strange halo slowly swimming in the body of this piece of "meteorite iron", as if carrying some kind of vitality.

[System: This is a mysterious diamond crystal containing a huge amount of mysterious energy, a golden rare quality special material, you find that it cannot be processed by conventional means, and you have to find other ways to complete the task. 】

Seeing this scene, the forging masters of the three empires smiled, and the president of the forging association couldn't help but sighed in disappointment.

Shen Qingze thought for a while and asked: "Can it be burned with fire?"

The president shook his head: "I've tried it, it can't be melted by fire."

Shen Qingze lowered his eyes, and glanced at the duck squatting at his feet, it was yawning and combing the colorful feathers under its neck in boredom.

Shen Qingze squatted down, and flicked the soft hair on Duck's forehead: "You can breathe fire, right?"

Yaya turned her head to express her disdain: "Chirp~"

Shen Qingze said coolly: "Useless pets can only be used as food reserves."

The duck jumped up from the ground with a jerk, like a round plush ball, and circled around the owner twice, actively expressing the traditional duck virtue of hard work and hard work.

Shen Qingze smiled and touched the duck's head: "Good boy."

The duck croaked softly, and Shen Qingze immediately ordered everyone to retreat, five meters was not enough, and they retreated ten meters farther away.

All the master blacksmiths looked puzzled, and some even showed anger: "Are you humiliating us, kid? What's the use of a pet bird?"

Before the man finished speaking, the duck had already flapped its two beautiful wings and soared into the sky. The gorgeous colorful feathers stretched freely, and gradually changed its posture in mid-air. Wherever it passed, it seemed to be dragged by flickering stars. Long streams of light flow.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise: "That's..."

Crimson flames gushed out from the opened beak, instantly surrounding the mysterious spar!

The terrifying high temperature carried the posture of burning heaven and earth, as if it could turn all enemies in front of him into ashes, but when he approached Shen Qingze, he turned into warm feathers, and playfully brushed the hem of his clothes.

Everyone who was suffering under the high temperature had no choice but to hide behind Shen Qingze to avoid getting their hair scorched.

Gradually, the "Meteor Iron" in the flames began to melt, and the translucent black liquid crystal was wrapped in the duck's flame, constantly changing its shape.

Everyone held their breath subconsciously, they had dealt with iron and flames for half their lives, and they had never seen the flame of the divine bird!

I don't know how long it took before the terrifying high-temperature flames returned, and the piece of "Meteorite Iron" had completely changed its appearance, from an irregular multi-faceted crystal to a weird "human sculpture"——

Except for the black clothes, she looks exactly the same as Shen Qingze.

Everyone in the underground palace fell into a strange silence.

Ducks swooped down from mid-air, rubbed their furry heads to the feet of their masters, flapped their wings and yelled excitedly.

"Jiujiu!" Praise it!

Shen Qingze covered half of his face with one hand: "..."

Can Yaya's savvy be saved?

※※※

When Shen Qingze was trying to smelt this golden rare quality special material, Yuanliu City at the northern end of the mainland was facing an unprecedented and dangerous crisis.

Yuanliu City.

Teng snake venom broke out in a calm morning.

The first civilian who was bitten by a scorpion snake was found dead in the yard of his home. All five members of his family died tragically, and his body showed strange blue scaly markings.

When the body was discovered, it aroused great panic among the residents in the nearby streets, and became a sensational vicious news.

Previously, the police department had already established a huge prestige in the city. After the residents discovered the murder, they immediately called the police department to the police.

In less than three hours, the file of this bizarre tragedy, together with the autopsy report of the doctor in charge of the medical center, was submitted to the Office of the City Lord's Mansion.

Fan Mizhou noticed something strange and immediately reported it to Yan Zui.

In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, all the high-level officials of Abyss City, the wizard Tag, the alchemist Sera, the goblin orc brothers, and the chief physician of the medical hall sat together, and everyone had the same serious expression on their faces.

"This is not an ordinary toxin, but the snake venom of the super-tribal Tengsnake orc." After careful research, the chief physician gave the final conclusion firmly.

"Although we haven't dealt with the Teng Snake tribe, we, the goblin orcs, have also heard about the horror of this snake's venom." Els looked serious.

"Once released, the Teng Snake tribe will die immediately. Those who are poisoned will have no abnormalities during the day, but at night they will become snake slaves, biting living things everywhere. The time to be cured is only four to five days. If there is no antidote during this period, they will die. .”

The sorcerer Tag nodded: "According to ancient books, the only thing that can detoxify this poison is fresh snake gallbladder and poison-repelling grass grown in the Teng snake tribe."

Fan Mizhou frowned and said, "The occurrence of this situation means that at least four days ago, there were snake orcs lurking near our Yuanliu City. Could it be that scattered orcs came out to look for food?"

On the first seat, Yan Zui leaned back in a high-backed chair, constantly flipping through the files and reports. The atmosphere in the meeting hall was oppressive, and the rustling sound of pages turning was like a tight warning, knocking on everyone's ears.

Yan Zui frowned a little: "No, it's spring, the season of revival of all things. It is impossible to travel thousands of miles across the Grand Canyon to look for food here. Even if you look for food, you will never use the method of dying together."

He slapped the finished file on the table, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, this is the outpost for the attack!"

Everyone's heart sank.

Teng Er coughed lightly: "The news from the Intelligence Department and Pearl City was suddenly interrupted for unknown reasons a while ago. I don't know if it has something to do with it."

Yan Zui's sharp eyes scanned for a week: "There is the first deceased, and soon there will be the second, and the third, we don't know how many people the Teng Snake tribe has sent to act as the vanguard. Find all the poisoned people in the city."

"Let the snake venom spread, and it won't be long before the city we have developed so far will become a dead city!"

Smelling the harsh and destructive atmosphere behind these words, a bitter chill climbed up everyone's backs.

Up to now, suspicion and anger are superfluous emotions, and the heavy pressure is pouring on everyone's shoulders like a mountain.

If the beast tide comes, everyone can still see the enemy, have a clear judgment and preparation, the poison of the snake snake right now is an invisible and intangible monster hidden in a dark corner, and can pounce on it anytime, anywhere in a sudden. In a fatal blow.

Suddenly, a sigh sounded from the crowd: "It would be great if the Lord Priest hadn't left, maybe the Lord Priest has a way to search for the poisoned person..."

Yan Zui's eyes sank, and he said slowly: "No one will always shield everyone from the wind and rain, without relying on other people's protection, is it just waiting to die?"

His words seemed to be able to touch the edges and corners, so sharp that they pierced the hand.The meeting hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Yan Zui's face involuntarily.

"He will definitely come back, but before that, we must defend this city!"

※※※

The people of Yuanliu City suddenly discovered that the gates of the city were locked and closed!

People inside couldn't get out, people outside couldn't get in, and the traffic arteries between Yuanliu City, Nanji City and Beiji City were all cut off.

The notices printed by the City Lord's Mansion overnight were posted at the door of every household in the city. From morning to night, propagandists took turns to read the latest City Lord's order with loudspeakers.

Within a day, all the people in Yuanliu City knew that there was an extremely dangerous orc tribe secretly watching, poisoning the city, and preparing to attack them!

The household registration system that Shen Qingze had worked so hard to implement, and the kerosene lamps that spread to every corner of the city, played a huge role in this critical juncture.

The City Lord's Mansion ordered a curfew, and no one was allowed to stay on the street once night fell.

The lampposts, ten steps apart, completely lit up Yuanliu City Street at night.

Regardless of the cost, the City Lord's Mansion turned the entire city into a city that never sleeps overnight, and any sneaky and suspicious people have nowhere to hide.

Yuanliu City takes the street as the unit, guarded by officials and patrol guards, each with a kerosene lamp, and goes door-to-door to search for the snake-turned poisoner.

The alchemy laboratory and the medical hall began to develop a large number of drugs that can make people fall into a short-term coma.

After each poisoned person was stunned, he was forced to be isolated alone. In order to prevent snake slaves from biting people, the iron factory began to make a soft wire headgear and restraint chains day and night.

In the second year after the beast tide subsided, when Shen Qingze was still thousands of miles away, the delicate gears flowing in the blood of Yuanliu City started to run at high speed again...

On the tower of the city lord's mansion, Yan Zui supported the cold stone bricks with both hands, his eyes fell on the street illuminated by street lights, and he murmured in a low voice: "There are only five days, Qingze, will you come back?"

※※※

At this moment, the distant Blue Sky City.

With the help of Yaya's flame, Shen Qingze finally became the only blacksmith who successfully smelted the mysterious spar in the forging conference.

As a thank you, the president of the Forging Association gave him a small spar.
