Qin Zheng left. He saw that more than 60,000 people were transporting the dragon's body and left without giving him a chance.
Hua Kai returned to the ground with a smile. Today, he talked with Qin Zheng. He had suppressed Qin Zheng and was not weaker than last time. He believed that Qin Zheng would change because of this. He would try to preserve the overall strength of the human race!
On the morning of November 13th, the leader of the Ujimqin family led six Yuezhi Foundation Building cultivators to arrive. In the past few years, the Hua family had provided them with a large amount of elixirs.
With so many Foundation Building cultivators and 60,000 soldiers working hard to build the track, they had traveled more than 50 miles.
The distance they traveled yesterday was 17 miles. Now, their track was more than 6,000 meters long. They could move the dragon three times a day. Everyone was getting more and more familiar with the track. Their speed was increasing every day.
There was a big river ahead. When the track was laid here, the river had been changed. The road ahead had been changed to a flat stone road. When the "dragon train" passed the river, Hua Kai changed it back. The river passed just like that.
Hua Kai was just discussing the route back to Hua City with Chinese Ink when Tang Lei came to Hua Kai anxiously.
"My King, after Qin Zheng left us the day before, he went to Linzi City. King Qi has been invited by Qin Zheng to Qin Kingdom. Sage Zeng Can left Qi and we don't know where he went. Many families in Qi have surrendered to Qin Kingdom. Some families have already escaped from Qi's territory," Tang Lei said to Hua Kai.
"This Duke of Qin is trying to show me that he can make the Prince of Qi submit so easily. This way, the State of Lu will be attacked from both sides, and will be in danger.
Without the King of Yan, Yan Kingdom doesn't have the strength to fight against Qin. If Lu is defeated, only we and Chu Kingdom have the strength to fight against Qin. We can't let Qi attack Lu! "Hua Kai said with a frown.
"Brother, maybe the King of Qin imprisoned King Qi because of the dragon?
I don't think Qin Zheng will give up on the dragon, "Chinese Ink said.
"If the King of Qin is doing this for the dragon, then it's not enough to rely on the families in Qi. They will definitely stop us on our way.
The State of Qin's Foundation Establishment cultivators and Blood Dragon Guards must all be mobilized! "
After Chinese Ink finished speaking, Xue Chen came to their side and said. He had just returned to Ye City to get the track again. Every time he came back, he would be able to lay down another kilometer of track.
"If that's the case, then we have to be careful!
Tell our men to pay more attention to the situation around the stone road ahead and pay more attention to the Qi. "Hua Kai said.
Hua Kai sighed. Qin Zheng's greatest trump card was his strength, which was a kind of power that could crush everyone. Although he was still at the Golden Elixir Realm, his three main attributes had already reached the Divine Transformation Realm. Even if a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator blew himself up, he might not be killed.
Hua Kai had said so much to Qin Zheng. The core of everything was the common people, the human race. However, he had underestimated the role and influence of a powerful warrior.
In this world, a country's strength was 40% based on its monarch, 30% on its overall strength, and 30% on its influence.
With Qin Zheng alone, the State of Qin had already won 40% of the battle. That was too terrifying.
"If the King of Qin's goal is really the body of the Flood Dragon, then he will have to mobilize the powerful warriors of the State of Qin. The Qi will have to mobilize more than 100,000 soldiers.
We all know the power of the Qi. The main force of the battle is less than 300,000 soldiers. More than 100,000 of them are still in the State of Lu. It will take them at least five days to gather the remaining soldiers. From the 1800-mile distance between the Qi and us, it will take them almost a month.
In a month's time, we will almost be at Mount Yan. Qin Zheng will definitely stop us at Mount Yan. "Xue Chen analyzed.
Everyone nodded. After entering the State of Huaxia, it would be difficult for the State of Qin to fight for the body of the Flood Dragon. The only way to enter the State of Huaxia from the south was through the Xia City. The rest of the roads had to be crossed through a hundred-meter wide canal. The State of Huaxia would not let the other party pass through so easily.
"Order the Yue Troop and the Qilin Troop to be ready. No matter how the State of Qin deploys their troops, they will definitely be weaker than us. The key is still the combat power of the State of Foundation Establishment." Hua Kai said.
The most precious parts of the Flood Dragon were its Dragon Core, Dragon Heart, and Dragon Horn. It would be easier for Qin Zheng to gather the Foundation Establishment Cultivators just to get the Dragon Core and Dragon Heart. Thinking of this, Chinese Ink could not help but feel anxious.
"Brother, if Qin Zheng is only here to take away the dragon heart and dragon core, and kill a large number of our soldiers with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, how can we resist?"
"There are not many divine chariots in the State of Qin, and there are no divine chariots in the State of Qi. It would take at least six days to travel from the State of Qin to here on a horse …" Hua Kai could not help but ponder.
The best way now was to use both the Dragon Core and Dragon Heart.
After the discussion, they started to take action.
Xue Chen asked Ye Cheng to speed up the production of the Spiritual Wood of the Tracks. He asked carpenters to send all the wood to Ye Cheng as soon as possible.
Chinese Ink was responsible for the construction of the tracks for 60,000 people. He could not waste any time.
Hua Kai entered the [Weapon Shop] in the family space. He looked at the eight spiritual weapons that could be forged. The most suitable one to cut open the dragon's skin was the seventh-grade spiritual weapon, [Dark Destroyer Blade].
This [Dark Destroyer Blade] was used by someone with the dark element. It could destroy a certain amount of True Qi and willpower defense. Its sharpness was the strongest among all the spiritual weapons that Hua Kai could forge. If Hua Kai used the [Dragon Guts Spear] to dig out the Dragon Core and Dragon Heart, he did not know how long it would take.
Hua Kai clicked to forge the [Dark Destroyer Blade]. He saw that the family's providence points, which had risen to 7,000,000 points, had fallen to 4,800,000 points. He had stopped everyone's usage of the family's providence points and even took back everyone's trial rights. The Hua family's providence points were extremely low. Hua Kai had to be careful.
The [Dark Destroyer Blade] was a short weapon. Hua Kai placed the [Dark Destroyer Blade] in his portable space and brought it to the side of the flood dragon. He could only vaguely detect the location of the Dragon Core with his spiritual power. Then, he asked someone to prop up this section of the flood dragon's body. It was easier to cut through the dragon's abdomen.
The flood dragon had a diameter of 10 meters. Hua Kai's [Dark Destroyer Blade] cut through the flood dragon's abdomen, leaving a shallow mark on the dragon's scales. If he did not deal with the scales, he would not be able to cut the flood dragon.
After injecting True Qi into the [Dark Destroyer Blade], Hua Kai stabbed into the gap between the dragon's scales. He used all his True Qi to circulate throughout his body, and the dragon scale was finally removed.
Hua Kai consecutively removed more than ten dragon scales, which were the weakest part of the flood dragon's abdomen. As a result, his True Qi was almost exhausted. He took out a [Great Recovery Pill] and consumed it. The Golden Core quickly circulated True Qi and slowly filled his body. Hua Kai continued to work.
It took him three hours to dig out a two-foot circle. This work could not be done without being in the Golden Core Realm. All the dragon scales were stored in Hua Kai's portable space. They could be used to make high-quality armor in the future.
After removing a circle of dragon scales, Hua Kai used all his strength and stabbed the [Dark Destroyer Blade] into the area where the flood dragon had lost its scales. The [Dark Destroyer Blade] only penetrated three inches. Hua Kai used all his strength to cut through the dragon's skin that had lost its scales. It was less than an inch away. All his True Qi and willpower were almost exhausted. He could only stop and rest.
At night, all the soldiers had returned to the ship to rest. Hua Kai was still cutting the dragon's skin under the dragon's abdomen. After cutting a circle of dragon's skin, Hua Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
The dragon meat inside the dragon's skin was much easier to cut. Hua Kai cut hundreds of pounds of dragon meat in an hour. He only cut the hole a little more than one meter deep, which was about three meters away from the dragon's core.
"Your Majesty, let me try!
You go and rest for a while! "Tang Lei said.
Dealing with dragon scales, cutting dragon skin, and dissecting dragon meat was more difficult than fighting with mid-level demonic beasts. Hua Kai gave the [Dark Destroyer Blade] to Tang Lei. He had taken three [Great Restore Pills] today. Now the effect of the pills was almost over. He had to take a [Body Cleansing Pill] to deal with the poison in his body. Otherwise, he could not take any more pills.
After waiting for two hours, Hua Kai got up and felt refreshed. His body had recovered to its best state. When he came to the place where the flood dragon was cut, Hua Kai saw Tang Lei sweating profusely under the dragon's abdomen. There was only about one pound of flood dragon meat under his feet. It was too difficult to cut it!
"Okay, let me do it!"
Hua Kai said. "Tomorrow is the fourth day. After digging out the dragon's core, we will continue to dig out the dragon's heart. The Foundation Establishment Realm of the Qin Kingdom may arrive the day after tomorrow."
Tang Lei returned the [Dark Destroyer Blade] to Hua Kai and hurriedly sat aside to recover his True Qi.
Hua Kai picked up the [Dark Destroyer Blade] and continued to work.
If the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Qin Kingdom arrived and Hua Kai did not have the strength to stall Qin Zheng, then there were only two ways to deal with the enemy. The first was to let his elite army resist with all their might. That way, the Vermillion Bird Legion would suffer heavy casualties.
The second was to let the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, the Vermillion Bird Legion, and the Zhao Legion attack together. The Qin Kingdom would definitely slaughter the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators on China's side. At that time, he would have to kill the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators on the other side. That way, both sides would suffer heavy casualties.
Hua Kai did not want to choose either of these two paths. China had close to 100 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. If they fought with Qin Zheng, the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Legion, the vassal states, and King Lu would not help. The ones who would die would be China's Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
That was why he had to stall Qin Zheng and let China's Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators use their advantage in numbers to kill as many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators as possible. That way, the battle would be easier and China would suffer fewer losses. The best way to recover his strength in the shortest amount of time was to take the dragon heart.
The dragon heart contained most of the flood dragon's essence and blood. It was the essence and blood of a great demon. Hua Kai would definitely improve his physique if he took it. What Hua Kai lacked now was his physique. If his strength could be improved, he might be able to fight with Qin Zheng for a longer time with the help of the Cloud-Sweeping Robe. Therefore, after obtaining the most precious Dragon Elixir, Hua Kai had to take out the dragon heart as soon as possible.
At night, most people had gone to rest. Only a small number of patrols were still patrolling around the dragon.
The temperature at night became colder and colder. In the latter half of the night, it began to snow.
Today was only the 13th of November, and the snow came much earlier than last year. Hua Kai's mind was completely focused on digging out the dragon core. At dawn, everyone began to lay out the tracks. Hua Kai climbed into the dragon's body. He was not far from the dragon core.
