Chapter 1001: Ghost Demon Spear
Chapter 1001: Ghost Demon Spear
September 25, 2017
Bingzhou, Beifeng, at the training grounds where the Mysterious Gateway is located.
Lu Hai Kong's eyes shimmered with golden light as he gazed at the square wooden structure before him, resembling a beehive. It was clear that he was in awe of this item.
Automaton Nest (Mechanical Tool)
Item Type: Mysterious Tool
Item Description: A mechanical tool rumored to be crafted by the greatest masters of the Mohist school. This tool can freely adjust its size and accommodate up to 10,000 automatons.
Usage Requirements: Each automaton stored requires a cost of 10 to 1000 gold, with no cost for retrieval.
Ps: No cooldown required.
Pss: Any automaton placed inside will become a single-use item. After retrieval, it will self-destruct within ten hours, regardless of its condition.
These were the attributes of the massive structure before him, and as he read them, Lu Hai Kong instantly understood the proper way to utilize this item.
"This is an absolute killer weapon! If I fill it with 10,000 automatons and then release them behind enemy lines, it'll be a blast! The outcome of a battle could be instantly rewritten!" Lu Hai Kong exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with admiration as he spoke. He was clearly thrilled with this item.
Indeed, if used in this manner, it could turn the tide of any battle.
However, this was not a tool for the average person to wield. Just filling it with 10,000 automatons at the cheapest cost would require 100,000 gold, and that's not even the biggest expense. The real cost lies in the automatons themselves, as even the cheapest ones would require several thousand to ten thousand gold each.
Even if everything were purchased at the lowest price, it would still cost 50,000,000 gold for the automatons and 100,000 gold for the storage, totaling 50,100,000 gold.
Moreover, automatons are single-use and cannot be reused, making this item a true luxury for the wealthy.
However, Lu Hai Kong, now penniless, found this luxurious item fitting for his circumstances. With a carpenter camp at his disposal, he could afford to experiment with it.
For now, there didn't seem to be a situation that required Lu Hai Kong to deploy this powerful weapon. Nonetheless, having such a trump card up his sleeve was reassuring.
After understanding the attributes of this massive item, Lu Hai Kong, who had never suffered from claustrophobia, found himself increasingly drawn to it. He circled it, examining it from all angles, and then used the system's instructions to shrink it to its smallest size.
Even in its smallest state, the Automaton Nest couldn't be reduced to the size of a fist. However, it could transform into a wooden box measuring one meter in length and width, making it manageable to transport, albeit with some effort.
Lu Hai Kong also possessed a spatial ring, which he could empty to store the Automaton Nest, ready to unleash its power whenever needed. Of course, he wouldn't carry it with him at all times.
After a few moments of inspecting the shrunken Automaton Nest, Lu Hai Kong instructed Chen Ping to have it delivered to the Flame Yellow Carpenter Camp.
The Automaton Nest was currently empty, and to utilize it effectively, coordination with the carpenter camp was essential.
Having dealt with this eye-catching item, Lu Hai Kong turned his attention to the remaining two treasures. As he examined them, a smile of amusement crossed his face. "What's going on? Is today a special equipment event? Seven treasure chests, and four pieces of equipment have been obtained already."
Equipment rarely appeared when opening treasure chests, and most of the time, they yielded various items. Lu Hai Kong was surprised to have obtained four pieces of equipment, especially the last two, which were not just simple surprises but also brought joy.
The last two Mythical Treasure Chests contained a piece of armor and a weapon.
The armor was a pair of bracers adorned with intricate gold-plated dragon carvings, exuding an air of luxury. But its elegance was just one of its many virtues.
Lu Hai Kong sensed a dragon-like energy emanating from the bracers, drawing his gaze instantly. His eyes flashed with golden light as he appraised the bracers.
Twin Dragon Bracers (Bracers)
Equipment Grade: Mythical
Equipment Description: Forged by a master blacksmith using various divine metals and dragon bones over three years, these Mythical-grade bracers are said to possess the power of divine dragons, offering incredible protection and a degree of mental defense.
Equipment Effect: Recognizes its master and submits.
Master Requirements: Strength Points 90, ???
When Lu HaiKong saw the attributes of this item, especially the part about its spiritual defense effect, his eyes gleamed with golden light.
This was the aspect that most captivated Lu HaiKong. Upon seeing this, he immediately grabbed it and put it on his hand without hesitation.
However, the Twin Dragon Bracers were not the same as the Primitive Axe; they were not Lu HaiKong's original weapon but an unclaimed pair of equipment. When Lu HaiKong held them, he could sense their resistance to him.
This type of rejection wasn't due to attribute incompatibility but rather a reluctance to submit to anyone.
In other words, the Twin Dragon Bracers were like a rebellious child at this moment, unaware of the vastness of the world and the power of those above them. Lu HaiKong needed to teach them a lesson.
Without further ado, Lu HaiKong's inner strength surged, and a vast amount of Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Art inner strength flowed into the Twin Dragon Bracers.
Ever since Lu HaiKong had the Mysterious Zither replace the Marquis Artifact to stabilize his fortune, all the dragon energy in his body had been extracted. However, having controlled dragon energy for a period, his inner strength had also been influenced by some of its characteristics.
Lu HaiKong could clearly feel that when his inner strength poured into the Twin Dragon Bracers, they not only didn't resist but welcomed his inner strength.
However, for equipment of this caliber, recognizing a master was not an easy task.
Even though the Twin Dragon Bracers welcomed Lu HaiKong's inner strength, it would take time to thoroughly refine and transform them into his equipment.
In the 1619 version of the book, Lu HaiKong had plenty of time on his hands, as he wasn't going out to battle. The outcome was certain, so he could take his time and slowly wear down the Twin Dragon Bracers.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong steadily infused his inner strength into the bracers while turning his attention to the last piece of equipment.
The final item was also a pair, a set of iron spears entirely black and red in color.
Just by looking at their appearance, one could be sure that these iron spears belonged to Dian Wei. Lu HaiKong currently had only one person under his command who could wield such weapons.
Speaking of Dian Wei, he seemed to have his own weapons. When he first arrived, he carried a pair of iron spears.
His spears looked old and worn, as if they might break with a single swing. But after a few years, they remained in the same dilapidated state, showing no signs of breaking.
This mysterious phenomenon made Lu HaiKong wonder if Dian Wei's spears were some kind of divine artifact. He even asked Dian Wei to let the old man, Gong Sun Zan, examine them.
The old man took only one look before tossing them back, saying they were made of celestial meteor iron and had no special effects other than being incredibly durable.
After learning that Dian Wei's weapons weren't particularly special, Lu HaiKong had wanted to get him a new pair. However, considering Dian Wei's aggressive fighting style, he figured that even legendary-level weapons wouldn't withstand his treatment. So, he had put off replacing them until now. The iron spears before him were clearly divine-level equipment and should be able to withstand Dian Wei's use.
As Lu HaiKong thought this, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he casually appraised the iron spears.
Ghost Demon Spear (???)
Equipment Level: Mythical
Equipment Description: Legend has it that this was a ghost soldier's weapon left behind in the mortal realm. When a master blacksmith found it, he reforged it with divine stones, not only imbuing it with incredible power but also making it extremely durable. It is said that one can split mountains and shatter rocks by harnessing its power.
Equipment Effect: ???
Master Requirements: ???
Looking at the attributes of this equipment, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but smile, "Not bad, not bad at all. This equipment seems tailor-made for Dian Wei."
With the revelation of the Ghost Demon Spear's attributes, Lu HaiKong's treasure-opening activity came to an end.
At the same time, in the Capital Commandery, Lu Bu's army had arrived in Hedong Prefecture, just a day's journey from Shangdang Shuofang Prefecture in Bingzhou.
As Lu Bu marched forward, gazing towards Bingzhou, a hint of nostalgia crossed his face, "Four years ago, I was driven out, but today, four years later, I'm returning to conquer..."
