"What is the nigger tide?"

Facing Li Yu's inquiry, the old man glanced outside the house, as if he was afraid that something was peeking in secretly, and then explained in a low voice.

"The black ghost tide is not a thing, it is a phenomenon that occurs after villages and towns are invaded..."

Following the old man's explanation, Li Yu also reacted.

To put it simply, it is because the local ‘city god’ has disappeared.

Without the suppression of the city god, all kinds of little monsters, spirits, hairy gods, and ghosts would gather at night to attack the villages and towns, like a tide! For most monsters and ghosts, 'cannibalism' is always the simplest and fastest way to change.

Strong way.

Although they will definitely face the pursuit of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, these little demons and hairy gods are the targets of the ghost-suppressing camp, various sects, and the Qingluo Division. They are not afraid of wearing shoes when they are barefoot.

In the past, there was a scholar in mourning clothes in Leyuan County who killed people and refined corpses. These unscrupulous people did not dare to come close. This is also one of the reasons why the survivors in Leyuan County preferred to linger nearby rather than stay away. But now -

"Several adults from the government escorted the murderer to Zhenzhou. We in Leyuan County had no city god to suppress him. Secondly, the young men suffered heavy casualties, so we had to rely on the young master."

After the old man explained the so-called 'nigger tide', he stood up and bowed to Li Yu again.

"The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, these little demon-haired gods don't dare to act so boldly."

"But once night comes, they will definitely come in droves. Please be prepared, sir, and rest early."

I see,

Li Yu finally understood that the next little demon Mao Shen might be nothing to Li Yu and the others, but it would be a severe test for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled in Leyuan County.

That’s why we prepared a banquet early. After saying all the good things, we persuaded Li Yu and others to rest so that they could protect the remaining people here at night. To put it bluntly, whether they can survive depends entirely on the mood of Li Yu and the others.

, what is the status.

"That's not necessary. Please sit down."

"We will solve this 'nigger wave', but there are a few things you need to do."

Fortunately, although Li Yu doesn't have the ability to rub firearms with his hands yet, he can already start preparing some things, such as: potassium nitrate!

The raw material nitrate soil is found in pigs, toilets, cowsheds, old wall bases of courtyards, caves, cliff edges and on the ground that is not easily washed by rain. Mix this soil into water, stir and filter out impurities, and then heat the remaining liquid to form crystals

You can get 'Soil Nitre' when you splash.

As we all know, when mononitrate, disulfide and three charcoals are mixed together, it becomes the famous ‘black powder’!

Although Li Yu really wanted to get it right in one go, but even with the blessing of extraordinary power, he couldn't do it in a short time, so he settled for the next best thing and started with black gunpowder.

"... Gather the soil and put it into a large pot, add an appropriate amount of water, stir for thirty minutes, use linen cloth to remove the insoluble impurities, and then heat the filtered liquid..."

After listening carefully to Li Yu's request, several old people nodded repeatedly, regardless of what Li Yu was planning to do.

Many monks in this world know how to make alchemy. Anyway, it's just boiling mud and filtering it. It's not like using someone to make alchemy. Ordinary people like them can also do it.

"Li Yu, are you going to make black powder?"

After eating and drinking, they said goodbye and returned to their house. Winnie couldn't help but ask. Her hometown had entered the first industrial revolution, and various steam engines and artillery began to become popular.

"right,"

Li Yu glanced at Winnie in surprise, and he didn't expect to hear the word "black powder" from her mouth.

According to the information obtained from the 'Flying Squirrel', the background here was the 'Dazhou' that replaced the 'Daji'. Coupled with the words like 'church' and 'nobles' in Winnie's mouth, he thought that Winnie's

In my hometown, the aristocratic church was probably still at war, and in the backward Middle Ages, I didn't expect to know Li Yu's plan just by listening to the request.

"Are you going to use a firearm?"

Winnie didn't notice Li Yu's eyes, but nodded to herself.

"That's right. New weapons like firearms are indeed suitable for extraordinary people like you who have no fighting skills."

Do you even know about firearms?

"Then why didn't you bring any firearms to this 'Western Continent'?"

Facing Li Yu's rhetorical question, Winnie gave him a calm look.

"Firearms make too much noise and are not suitable for assassins like me. This kind of thing is only equipped by the police. It can kill criminals and notify companions at the same time."

"Besides, ordinary items will be corroded when passing through the gray mist. Except for extraordinary people and sealed objects, have you forgotten that when we first met, we were all wearing local linen clothes?"

"...Okay, I really didn't pay attention."

Li Yu casually dropped the subject. It didn't matter where Winnie came from. Since we were about to be attacked by a large number of little demons and hairy gods, we had to make sufficient preparations.

"I'm going to the blacksmith shop to make some props."

Although Li Yu's 'gold-melting and iron-smelting hands' are not yet capable of making weapons by hand, the strength, agility, and fire resistance improved by the technique are all very suitable for making iron.

Moreover, blacksmithing can also help you build strength. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. As for going to bed and resting now?

Laughing to death, I miss him, the great Liver Emperor. Of course, I won’t sleep if the moon doesn’t sleep!

As the sun gradually sets toward the west, large tracts of shadows from the mountains cast their shadows, shrouding Leyuan County in a faint darkness. The woods on the mountains in the distance are hard to identify, dancing in the wind. It is not quiet at all, but if you look carefully

Looking at the sudden flashing figure in the woods, one can't help but feel horrified.

"Quick, light the bonfire!"

Under the command of the old people, the half-grown children came out with quick hands and feet holding firewood, and put the wood into several braziers that had been prepared and lit it.

The twilight is getting thicker and thicker, and groups of flames rise, representing the light of human civilization. However, these flames are very shabby in both quantity and scale, and can only barely surround the center of Leyuan County, allowing the spirits to peek here secretly.

The eyes of the ghosts and gods glowed with green light.

"Shan woman, are you sure the people from Qingluosi are not here?"

Amidst the whistling wind, a strong roar of beasts sounded, greedy and fearful.

"Hey, Master Hu, didn't he go and see it himself?"

Another old woman's voice came, carrying the cunningness of a philistine.

"The people from Qingluosi escorted the two murderers back to pay their respects. Now there are only three woolen dolls left here. Please think clearly, there will be no store like this after passing this village."

There was a burst of whispers in the woods. There were spirits, little demons, ghosts, and hairy gods gathered in the area for dozens of miles. What they did was to take advantage of Leyuan County's defense to be empty and feast on them. They used human blood to improve their abilities.

Cultivation is a good thing to protect yourself in this world where extraordinary power is everywhere.

Such an opportunity, even in this remote place, is very rare!

You must know that after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, successive emperors worked hard to govern and killed all kinds of ghosts, gods, great demons, evil cultivators, and even sects that disobeyed orders. The hinterland of the Central Plains is known as "both public and private warehouses are abundant, and the roads of Kyushu are free of jackals and tigers."

, quite the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"No one is allowed to retreat!"

A vicious voice sounded in the woods,

"I once protected the peace of the 'Baojiaxian', but the Great Zhou destroyed the mountains and temples, and almost died. This hatred is irreconcilable!"

The speaker was a little old man with a cane, dressed as a lucky star. But his bright red robe was in tatters, and his eyes were wandering on his protruding forehead. He looked like a ghost three-quarters, rather than a god.

The words he said made the monsters gathered next to him look disgusted: Everyone is here for the blood food, who are you showing this gesture to?

"Old man Wu, don't talk about these useless things."

The vigorous beast roar disdainfully exposed old man Fuxing's plan,

"We don't care what grudges you have. We all use our own abilities to get the blood food. Is it because you have grudges against Da Zhou that we want you to enjoy it first?"

A group of people echoed in the woods, saying, "It's true, Mr. Tiger is in charge." This made the face of Lucky Star, who had seven or eight eyes on his forehead, turn red, but he didn't dare to get angry. If only he had accepted the sacrifices offered by the local indigenous people back then.

At that time, these monsters were wiped out instantly! But now, they are in despair~~

"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop saying a few words."

An old woman wearing green clothes and a mountain flower on her head, with a face that looked like a philistine and cunning, floated out of the woods and opened her mouth to smooth things over. She was the initiator of this operation: although she didn't have much frontal combat power, she was swaying her lips.

She has a good tongue and is good at making disputes.

"We will work together to capture Leyuan County first, and then we will make other plans."

In fact, she had secretly made appointments with Mr. Hu, Old Man Wu and several other 'masters'. She promised that after taking over Leyuan County, she would help them clear out the other demons, and the two of them would have their own blood.

The day Leyuan County falls is the time of melee! No matter who wins or loses...

For her 'eating ghost', they are all delicious!

Those who do not eat ghosts were cunning and insidious during their lifetime, often causing trouble, sowing dissension, and wrongfully harming loyal and good people. After turning into fierce ghosts, they are hungry and thirsty all the time. When encountering a spring, it will dry up, and when encountering food, it will rot. They will never enjoy the desire of food and drink, so they are said to have no food.

"Coming,"

All the people in Leyuan County retreated to the buildings surrounding the ruins of the county government office, with Li and Yu as the center of the circle.
