Chapter 9 Flying Mounts [Part 2]

Zhang Yuan rode a giant crane in the sky of the "Gruntled Deer Garden" dungeon world for several times, and even flew to a high altitude, wanting to find out how high the sky in the dungeon world is. However, the flying height of the crane was limited, and he still did not touch the space barrier after more than 200 meters. In the end, Zhang Yuan could only sigh at the sky and give up the delusion of "climbing the sky".

Zhang Yuan had a little more test of the giant crane and was very satisfied with the flight speed and stability of the crane. The only regret is that the crane's load capacity is not very good, and it can only carry about 300 kilograms at most. Zhang Yuan himself weighs more than 100 kilograms, so the giant crane actually can't load much.

"It's a bit bad to bear the weight, but it's enough to implement the beheading plan. In the future, the family will be formed, and each of them will have a crane mount. The scene will definitely be spectacular." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

About half an hour later, Zhang Yuan had enough fun in the sky, then slowly landed by the river with a crane, restored the crane to a beast-taught bell, and then began to pack up, put some messy things into a red cloth bag, and finally raised his left hand and triggered the [Exit] option.

Whoosh! A white light flashed, and Zhang Yuan's figure disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, in the underground secret room of the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao were talking about happiness. Suddenly, Zhang Yuan's figure appeared in the corner of the wall, and Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao noticed it at the same time...

"Yuan'er, I'm back." Zhang Jiao greeted.

"Fourth brother." Zhang Chong greeted.

"Second brother." Zhang Yuan greeted Zhang Chong, and then said to Zhang Jiao: "Second uncle, you are here too."

"Haha, I handed over everything about Anminjun to Cheng'er. With the assistance of Lu Henglu Brother, Cheng'er can take over Anminjun's government affairs. Second uncle, I am idle and idle, so I come over to sit down." Zhang Jiao said politely.

Zhang Yuan knew Zhang Jiao's purpose well, and he had already prepared, so he smiled and said, "Second Uncle, Second Brother, let's go out to talk. Although this secret room is spacious, it is too dark and so stuffy."

"Then go up. It happened to be noon, and my second uncle and I didn't have dinner either. Let's have a chat while eating." Zhang Chong said.

The three of them walked out of the underground secret room while chatting, then went to the side hall, ordered the kitchen to serve a few foods, and then started chatting while eating.

"The weather is getting colder, but it's not snowing..."

"Fortunately it snowed late. These days, all the victims should be resettled. If it snowed early, I don't know how many people would be frozen to death in Tizhou."

The three of them first talked about some unnutritional words, then led the topic to Zhang Yuan, or to the false old immortal Nanhua.

"Yuan'er, did Master Nanhua say anything about my question?" Zhang Jiao asked.

"I told my master about you. My master is someone who has great fortune. I asked the master again, what kind of fortune do you have, but my master did not answer..."

"Later I talked about your cultivation techniques, Uncle Er, but my master doesn't have any training techniques for practicing dragon blood..."

When Zhang Jiao heard Zhang Yuan say that the old immortal Nanhua did not have any martial arts practiced by dragons, he was immediately anxious and hurriedly said, "Yuan'er, ordinary martial arts are fine."

"Don't be anxious, please listen to my nephew's words." Zhang Yuan replied, and then said with a smile: "Although my master does not have the martial arts that Jiaolong specializes in practicing, he still has some water-attributed martial arts, such as the cloud-swallowing and fog-swallowing technique that my nephew is practicing now, which can gather cloud-swallowing and absorb the spiritual energy in the cloud-swallowing. My master thinks this martial art is quite suitable for you, so let me teach you this martial art."

"Yuan'er, do you want me to transform into a dragon and practice it after you turn it into a human dragon?" Zhang Jiao asked seriously.

Zhang Jiao’s question is very stupid, but there is no small matter in cultivation, it is related to his own safety and future. No matter how idiotic or stupid a question is, he must be asked clearly.

"Well, Uncle Second, you have to explore it yourself. Try both situations to see if the human body is cultivated quickly or the dragon body is fast. Which one is suitable for you, you can choose which one. But, I think if you practice with the dragon body, the cultivation speed is faster, because it is said that many water-attributed monsters will naturally swallow clouds and spit mist. If you practice this technique, you may be able to understand the natural magical powers contained in the dragon bloodline. Of course, the probability is very small, but it is better than nothing." Zhang Yuan said.

Zhang Yuan was ambiguous and did not give a specific answer at all, because he himself did not know the specific answer, so he could only ambiguously fool Zhang Jiao.

"Well, I'm going to save it, you can continue." Zhang Jiao nodded and said.

"I will teach you the "Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist" later. There is also an article called "Swallowing Spiritual Qi" that is used to absorb spiritual energy. This Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist can only lift the surrounding spiritual energy, but when it is sucked into the body, it will cause a lot of waste. Then, the technique of absorbing spiritual energy needs to be used in combination, so that it can absorb spiritual energy more effectively."

"Uncle Second, these two skills, plus your water control technique and three skills, after you reach the small-scale realm, if you do not understand the cultivation methods and innate magical powers of the Jiaolong clan, I will go to my master to ask for a water-attribute advanced skill and give it to you for practice!" Zhang Yuan said.

"Okay, that's good." Zhang Jiao said happily.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "There are martial arts scriptures in the underground secret room. After dinner, you can go to the underground secret room to read. If you don't understand, you can directly ask your nephew."

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, let's have enough food." Zhang Jiao said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan smiled, then changed the topic and asked, "Uncle Second, I have been busy these days, but I don't know how my father is doing?"

"The situation in my brother's place is not good. I have fought several battles with the Kangzhou soldiers. The Kangzhou soldiers' offensive is becoming more and more fierce. Now it is winter. I guess the old coach Zhu Jiukang wanted to capture Qingquan City before the first heavy snowfall. Originally, I wanted my brother to retreat, but now Qingquan City has many soldiers and abundant soldiers and sufficient soldiers. Maybe it can stop the Kangzhou army. Although the losses are relatively large, as long as the heavy snowfall comes, the Kangzhou soldiers will have to withdraw their troops!"

Zhang Jiao said this and sneered, saying, "Zhu Jiukang won't live long, and it is very likely that he can't resist this winter. So, this winter is the last winter of the Ming Dynasty! When Zhu Jiukang's rebirth is gone, the Ming Dynasty will collapse immediately!"

"Then can my father withstand it? I'm afraid Marshal Zhu Jiukang himself is very clear about the current situation. Before the heavy snowfall, the troops in Kangzhou will definitely be very fierce in the offensive against Qingquan City!" Zhang Yuan frowned and said.

Zhang Jiao smiled, but did not answer Zhang Yuan's words, but instead asked Zhang Chong: "Zhong'er, what do you think?"

"This is really hard to say, but Qingquan City is now full of soldiers and abundant soldiers and armor. The only thing they lack is the morale of the army. In many battles, my father was on the defensive side. My elder brother took the initiative to attack the cavalry several times, but the results were very little, which led to unstable morale of the army. In general, the situation in Qingquan City was not very good." Zhang Chong said.

"Well." Zhang Jiao nodded, then turned his eyes to Zhang Yuan, and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, the situation in Qingquan City is not very good, but don't worry, I have photographed two hundred masters going to Qingquan City. These people were originally masters of the Emperor Xin of Qingquan Temple, and the worst was the second-rate level. After these people arrived at Qingquan City, they would be responsible for the safety of the City Lord's Mansion. If Qingquan City could not be defended, the people I sent would immediately protect everyone in your City Lord's Mansion to retreat. Therefore, even if Qingquan City was broken, the people of the Zhang clan would not be in danger of their lives."

"If Qingquan City breaks the city, wouldn't Tizhou..." Zhang Yuan said hesitantly.

Zhang Jiao was about to speak, but Zhang Chong said, "No, even if Qingquan City is defeated and the city is lost, Tizhou will not be affected too much. It is already winter now, and it is not a few days before the first heavy snow. As long as the heavy snow starts, the war will definitely stop. Therefore, Qingquan City is just used to delay time. As for whether Qingquan City will be broken in the end, it is not very important for Tizhou as a whole."

Zhang Yuan had only a slight understanding of military affairs, which was to listen to the excitement. He couldn't understand the specific situation, so he just briefly talked about the matter of Qingquan City, and then talked about the last time Zhang Jiao was assassinated.

"After investigation for so long, I couldn't find any clues. The only clue was the long sword that pierced my chest that day, with a cloud carved from the hilt of the sword. This is the symbol of Gouyun Palace in the Wulin Sect." Zhang Jiao frowned and said.

"Such obvious behavior is like frame-up. When assassinating, he used his own weapons and left them on the enemy. This is too fake." Zhang Chong said.

"Haha..." Zhang Jiao sneered and said ruthlessly: "I know this too, so I have never been praised for the assassination. This matter needs to be investigated slowly. As long as I find out who did it, I must destroy his whole family!"

The three of them ate and talked. When they were about the same food, Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao shifted the topic to the family's location selection and talked about the three places Zhang Chong chose.

"Emei Mountains Yingyue Lake, Qinghai Gemini Island, South China Sea Xianren Island..."

Zhang Yuan listened to Zhang Chong's explanation, pondered for a moment, and said, "For me personally, I prefer Yingyue Lake and Gemini Island. There are more clouds and mists, which are suitable for me to practice. However, considering the development of the family and the issue of confidentiality, I think overseas islands are more suitable. As long as the ports and ships are guarded, the secrets on the island cannot be spread. Second uncle and second brother, what do you think?"

"It makes sense, overseas is quieter." Zhang Jiao continued, and then said: "Yuaner, it is better to start a family than to late. In my opinion, we might as well move a family member first and set up the door first in this winter. How about it?"
