Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3440: Untitled

Chapter 3440: Unt.i.tled

“Lightning Fiend?”

Grey and Gus looked at each other and saw the panic and confusion in each other’s eyes.

Fear of the unknown was the greatest fear. At this moment, the two siblings were immersed in this fear.

Even Grey, as an evil disciple, could not help but s.h.i.+ver.

At the very least, the mechanical demons and the steam demons had been savaging the Fist G.o.d’s World for hundreds of years. They knew exactly what it was.

But they knew absolutely nothing about the origins, methods, and purposes of ‘Electric Fiend’.

Grey did not dare to look at Lu Qingchen in the eyes anymore. She knelt on one of her knees and dissected the boa with a dagger, before she extended her entire arm into the boa and groped around. Finally, she managed to retrieve the beast core.

“What is this?”

Looking at the sapphire-like object in Grey’s hand, Lu Qingchen asked with great interest.

The devil seemed to know nothing about the World of the Fist G.o.d. He did not even have the most basic concepts.

“This is a beast core.”

Grey thought for a moment and replied honestly, “Every ferocious beast has a beast core inside their body, which is the most precious thing in the world. Eating it can strengthen one’s qi and blood, improve one’s Cultivation, and even cleanse one’s marrow and cleanse one’s bones. Gus, this beast core is for you to eat. We are going to travel through the night, and we are definitely going to encounter more ferocious beasts. I hope your arrows can be as accurate as before.”

“Killing ferocious beasts, eating beast cores, improving my strength, and practicing martial arts—this is truly a completely uninspiring setting.”

Beside him, Lu Qingchen mumbled and yawned.

Gus put the beast core into his mouth and felt that it was too stinky to swallow. He could only open the water container and drink the water together. Then, he felt that a line of fire was raging from his throat to his abdomen. The burning feeling flowed through his body along with his blood. His fatigue and pain were immediately gone.

He raised his elbow and noticed that the tiny wounds on his elbow were healing at a visible speed.

He was somewhat relieved and turned around to pick up his bow and arrow.

However, he discovered that he had been too nervous just now. He had exerted too much strength, and the bow had been crudely made. Cracks had appeared on the back of the bow. If he pulled it slightly, it would break apart.

The bow was wasted.

Gus was frustrated.

Although his archery was equally bad, it was the only thing that could protect him in the forest. Without a bow, he felt that he would only be a burden to his sister.

“This is for you.”

The sister noticed her brother’s frustration and handed over the chain crossbow. “You don’t mind using this, do you?”

“No… I…”

Gus’s mouth was dry. He did not know what to say.

As a loyal believer of the Fist G.o.d, he should not have been contaminated by any machinery or steam weapons.

But yesterday, Qin Yi had used a mechanical crossbow to save his life. Today, the one who brought the mechanical crossbow to him was his own sister. There was no way that he would harm his own sister.

For some reason, his belief in the Fist G.o.d retreated a little bit. Instead, he touched the crossbow out of curiosity and quickly withdrew his hand.

“I can’t use it. I don’t know how,” Gus said. The cold feeling was still flowing in his fingertips. It was not uncomfortable.

“Rest a.s.sured. It is very easy to learn. Compared to the path of iron fists, the greatest advantage of ‘mechanical power’ is that it is easy to learn and master.

Grey said, “You have the basics of archery. You will learn how to control the mechanical crossbow very soon. I guarantee it. Come on. Let’s practice.”

Grey pinned the body of a boa to a tree with her dagger.

He walked twenty steps away from Gus to learn how to use the mechanical crossbow.

As he expected, such a weapon, which could store energy and did not require a bow and arrow, was very suitable for people like Gus, whose arms were relatively weaker and whose weight was relatively lighter.

It only took him the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn for him to master it and fall in love with such a marvelous weapon.

Right now, there was only one question.

“Sister, you’ve given me the serial crossbow. What about yourself?” asked Gus.

“Don’t be silly. I’m much better than you. I can blow up a ferocious beast bare-handed, not to mention that I brought a saber and a compressed air cannon,” Grey said.

“That won’t do. The deeper we run into Red Phoenix Mountain, the more ferocious beasts we will encounter. How many ferocious beasts can you kill with your bare hands?”

Gus bit his lips and returned the chain crossbow. “It’s better that you use it. Sister, it will be more powerful in your hands and save your precious strength.”

“Listen to me, Gus. Only when you have the strength to protect yourself can I concentrate on dealing with the ferocious beasts. I don’t have to think about coming back to save you all day. Only then can I save more strength.”

Grey said seriously, “So, don’t argue with me. Just take it.”

“Then… Can you show me your serial crossbows?” the smiling devil suddenly asked when the two siblings were pus.h.i.+ng the crossbows forward.

Thinking of the arrow that the devil asked him to shoot just now, Gus hesitated for a moment. Then he glanced at his sister and handed over the two crossbows.

Neither of the siblings expected what happened next.

The devil drew close to the two serial crossbows and studied them for a long time, before he suddenly sneezed.

A mist spurted out of the devil’s mouth and wreathed the two repeating crossbows.

The mist was like a small cloud with vague lightning and thunder inside.

When the thunder died down and the clouds dispersed, four serial crossbows were placed neatly on the ground in front of the devil.

—The more complicated, the more precise, the faster the shooting speed, the more arrows loaded, and the more powerful the super serial crossbow.

Gus and Grey were dumbfounded. They could not believe their eyes for a long time.

“This—this is—” Gus stammered.

“I’ve slightly modified the mechanical crossbow for you. Right now, it can load eighteen bolts at the same time, and its shooting speed and power are two to three times higher than before. It is not included in your three wishes, either. Just consider it a thank you for taking me with you!” the devil said generously.

“But, why are there two additional mechanical crossbows?” Gus’s mind went blank. He had never encountered anything so weird before.

“Ah, this is just the simplest ‘copy and paste’.”

Lu Qingchen said, “That way, you and your sister will have two crossbows each.”

“Copy… paste?”

Gus did not understand what ‘paste’ meant, but he had a general idea what ‘copy’ meant.

“Can—can you ‘copy’ everything?” he boldly asked Lu Qingchen.

“In this world, theoretically, yes.” The devil nodded.

“For example… beast cores? Can you copy one beast core into two or even more?”

“I understand what you’re trying to say. A hundred, a thousand, ten thousand beast cores at a time so that you and your sister can eat them and become invincible experts?”

The devil said, “In fact, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. I can directly tamper with your core data and drag your combat ability to the highest level. Or, I can retrieve the data templates of those peerless experts and cover you with them. Everything can be done in a matter of minutes. The problem is, if I do this, there will be a 100% chance that the data will be abnormal. The boxing champion will instantly discover you two big bugs, and then he will stab his invincible iron fist out of your throat and blow me up alive.”

“For now, I’m still no match for the boxing champion. I have to choose the most suitable battleground. Therefore, I can’t make any drastic changes to you right now. Let’s see what happens next!”
