Chapter 512
After Lin Ke returned to the Qin village, Qin Mian still didn't come back.
All the way back, the soldiers on the street were in a hurry, and the carts were in a long line.
Even the air was full of tension and anxiety.
With a "war is coming, the wind is full of buildings" to describe, it is appropriate.
At present, everyone knows that the tide of animals is coming.
The specifications Qin Mian arranged for Lin Ke were almost based on the treatment of the elders of Qin's village.
It's a single family and a small courtyard.
It's not big, but it's enough for saber tooth tiger king to move.
When link returned to his room, seven Ravens were scattered on the treetops, roofs and walls of the courtyard as sentries.
Soon link contacted Simon, director of Longcheng monster security company, with a microphone.
"Simon, what's going on in the city?"
Simon's body trembled slightly when he heard the boss's voice.
Previously, I heard from penny that the eldest brother mistakenly entered Twilight ridge because he was chasing a flash. When he heard the news, his first reaction was to take someone to meet the eldest brother back in twilight ridge. As a result, he was stopped by Mr. sancong and penny on the phone.
Penny said that link would contact them at the right time, and they should never take the initiative to contact link, otherwise he would have the risk of exposure.
Simon looked forward to the stars and the moon. After waiting for more than two days, he finally got a call from link and changed his dispirited mood.
"Everything in the city is normal. In recent days, the tide of beasts is coming. The whole dragon city is in full preparation. People are looking forward to the effect of the wolf cavalry in the wilderness this time. They hope that the horses introduced with a lot of money can bring new results. The forces in the city are still the same. At the critical moment of fighting against the tide of animals, they put down their prejudices and have money to contribute
Link nodded after hearing this: "the wolf cavalry of the wilderness is about to fight. The important role of the monster security company will soon be reflected. Take advantage of this opportunity to win over more forces, and then it will be useful. "
Simon nodded, remembering link's arrangement, and then asked, "boss, where are you now?"
"I'm in the blood fortress. I didn't show up as a real person. But you should know my new identity soon. "
Simon asked tentatively: "boss, do you need me to send someone to the front line to support..."
As soon as Simon thought of link alone in the front line, he couldn't help but want to arrange for the secret alliance's men to go to support the guards. I totally forgot how link was able to fight two with one, so that he could hit Shanling and kill mengyan.
"Take care of yourself. There are 500 wolves in the blood fortress. There is nothing better than that. Well, I've got the situation. Execute the order and wait for the next call. "
"All right!"
With that, link hung up the messenger.
Later, Li Chao sent a soul saddle to solve link's big problem of riding saber toothed tiger king.
Although the soul saddle is rare, it's not difficult to get it in Li Chao's current status.
The soul saddle is made from the dying white deer. It is composed of shamans, shamans or warlocks who are good at extracting life power, cutting leather and soul at the same time, forming a saddle with soul attribute.
This kind of saddle has an advantage, that is, it can insulate the pet from some discomfort to the owner.
For example, some pets have extremely hard fur or extremely high body temperature. If they are replaced with ordinary leather saddles, the material will be easily damaged, or they can't ride at all. But with the soul saddle, white deer's own soul affinity will insulate the soul saddle from all kinds of discomfort.
The production process of this thing is complex and the output is very low. Only a few of the dignitaries can get this thing. However, it's not difficult for Li Chao to be a member of the Royal Guard, a great man in front of the imperial division lengguan, and an inspector.
Lin Ke assembles the soul saddle to the saber tooth tiger king, and then pats Han Han's head: "this will solve the big trouble."
The king of saber toothed tiger is bowing his head to eat. He doesn't know that the saddle will change his fate.
Later, Qin Mian came back from the meeting, but his face was not very good-looking.
"Oh, who made elder Qin Mian so angry?" Link joked. Make complaints about sage like type
Qin Qin, who was shaking up his sleeves and not breathing the air of his fairy clothes and his clothes, and saw the three generation of Qin's most proud disciples, unable to help open up Tucao: "originally, we had arranged for the Qin Chai Zhai to participate in the animal tide. Unexpectedly, the surface was temporarily overweight, so let's add some more manpower, otherwise threatened to cancel our medium-sized school. I'll be demoted to a lower school! "
Link was a little surprised. All the people who participated in the animal tide were in the blood fortress. The animal tide may come at any time these two days. Qinjiazhai is two days away from the blood fortress. It must be too late to call people from qinjiazhai. The only way is to ask these three generations of disciples to take part in the trial.
"It's a bit too much. The level of these test disciples is not high. When they go to the battlefield, they are all cannon fodder. If one of them can survive, it's a fortune teller." In link's view, this is no different from the life of Cao Kan."That's right. These trial disciples are cannon fodder. The main reason is that the garrison officer in charge of the blood fortress has a lot to do with zhenhuozong this year. In fact, this wave is zhenhuozong's effective force in attacking our qinjiazhai through the garrison officer's hand. "
Link knew this when he was chatting with the other three generations of disciples.
Qinjiazhai has a good development situation in recent years. Although it is a medium-sized school, its scale and strength have approached the high-level school. Xu Tianzhao's strategy for these sects is to fight each other and kill three scholars with two peaches. We should not only let them contribute, but also let them develop to uncontrollable levels.
So the school rating system was introduced.
It can be divided into three levels: low, medium and high.
Among them, there is no limit on the number of low and medium schools, while there is a limit on the total number of high schools. Once the contribution and scale of a medium-sized school reach the standard and become a senior school, one of them will be squeezed out.
The Qin village is now a quasi high school, and the one who will be squeezed out is the Zhen beast sect.
Originally, with the development momentum of the qinjiazhai, as long as they were among the high schools, they could hold the top position.
But now, through the garrison officer, zhenzhuzong is ready to make a drastic cut.
The temporary expansion of the recruitment scale can improve the contribution, but after the war, the younger generation of qinjiazhai talents will wither. Even if they can sit in the senior school for one year, they will fall down the next year because there is no successor, and there is no chance of turning over.
This wave is a desperate plan!
"What are you going to do, elder?"
Qin Mian looked at Lin Ke with fiery eyes: "I'm afraid it's up to you this time. When I came here, I heard that you had passed the recruitment, and inspector Li was very fond of you. He also sent you a soul saddle. If you can do well in the animal tide this time, the reputation of qinjiazhai will rise, and there will be a steady stream of new people to join. Naturally, you are not afraid of the tricks of zhenzhuzong. "
Link didn't expect that the final burden would fall on him, but then he thought it was just an opportunity.
Lin Ke's face was embarrassed, and he was puzzled: "the tide of animals has no eyes. The future of the whole qinjiazhai falls on my shoulders. If I don't perform well, won't I implicate the whole qinjiazhai? Although I am willing to give anything, even my life, to qinjiazhai, let me bear such a heavy burden as a disciple of three generations.... "
Qin Mian smoothed his beard. When he went out, he not only improved his strength, but also his mind.
"I had discussed with the stronghold leader before I came here. It's really wrong for you, a three generation disciple, to bear so much. In addition, when you went out for training this time, your younger brother died miserably. Now you have captured the king beast as a pet Therefore, we have decided to promote you as the elder of Qin village
Qin Mian took out a waist token on behalf of the elder of Qin village and continued: "since you are an elder, you will be treated as an elder. These animal raising pills, as well as waste coins, can be regarded as compensation for your previous salary. In addition, there are several books that Qin village elders can study, which can be used for reference with your animal control skills. Here are the elder's gloves and cloaks, all for you. "
Lin Ke looks at Qin Mian's reward, and his mouth turns up slightly.
Originally, he just wanted the status and rights of the elder of the Qin village, but unexpectedly, he was surprised.
"Oh, elder Qin Mian, you're welcome. It's our duty to rebuild the glory of the Qin clan!" Link inadvertently took things, shaking the animal raising Dan, a bottle of five, good.
Also, the gloves and the cloak are the secret craft of the Qin clan, which have unique effects.

link looked at the information of the two equipment, and they were all good equipment. If he wore this set, it would be very suitable for hunting wild animals. No wonder qinjiazhai now has the inside information to attack high-level schools.
The corners of Qin Mian's mouth twitch. Qin's ability to keep watch is too strong.
One second ago, I still said that a three generation disciple could not shoulder the heavy responsibility. The next second, I dare to say that "we are duty bound to rebuild the glory of the qinjiazhai.".
However, he managed to stabilize Qin Shou, and Qin Mian was relieved.
As long as Qin Shou plays a good role in this animal tide, Qin village will be able to shine brilliantly!
"You should make good use of this animal raising pill before the war starts in these two days." Qin Mian repeatedly exhorted, almost did not put "this bottle of animal Dan to the sword tooth tiger king to drink down" words out.
Qin Mian is also concerned about the qinjiazhai. Whether the qinjiazhai can turn over this time really depends on Qin Shou.If it is really because of Qin Shou, then it is absolutely worthy of the position of an elder.
After Qin Mian left, link opened the pill and took a look.
In his former life, Linke majored in fighting and blood race, and knew little about animal training.
Link has never heard of anything like animal raising pills.
[animal raising pill]
[quality: green]
[Description: increase 10000 experience points for pets]
um
The effect is simple and crude.
Lin Ke grabs a creature at will and wants to try to synthesize it with animal raising pill as a material. Unfortunately, the system says, "this item can't be synthesized." it directly pours a basin of cold water on Lin Ke, making Lin Ke's dream of spring and autumn come to nothing.
Link stares at the saber toothed tiger king who is licking his front leg and claps his hand to attract the king's attention.
Then he juggled the five animal raising pills to the saber toothed tiger king.
The king of saber toothed tiger, with a keen sense of smell, heard the animal raising pills. His eyes were bright. He jumped up and opened his mouth. He steadily caught five animal raising pills and swallowed them all in one breath.
The king of saber toothed tiger chews a few mouthfuls, then happily swallows them into his stomach, sticks out his tongue and shakes his tail. There is only one meaning - still want to.
Link touched the saber tooth tiger king's head and sighed: "it's a pity that you don't have a good mouth. This thing can't be synthesized. Otherwise, you can eat the meat of animal raising pill every day."
Link glances and sees that saber toothed tiger king has been upgraded from level 25 to level 29.
Tonight, the whole blood fortress has been carrying two things, one is the tide of animals is coming, the other is the joint assassination of link, one dead and one injured.
Compared with the tide of animals, the shock caused by link is obviously stronger.
Twinkle and nightmare are not unknown people, but the top killers of abandoned Saturn. It was unprecedented for the two to join hands, but they were defeated in the assassination of link. Now the news comes from Sandu, causing a great sensation in Longcheng and Faye.
Whether it is the ruling class, the upper class, or ordinary people, are talking about it.
With link's influence, it went up to 13 points.
At night, link goes to bed early.
In the middle of the night, the earth suddenly trembles and makes a sound like thunder.
In the night, there is a crack of silk, which makes the eardrum sound.
The bad luck crow pecked at the brick and tile of the roof with its beak to remind link in the house.
The blood fortress, which had been accumulating for several days, finally broke out.
The whole fortress was full of fire, and the sky was red.
Blood fortress soon heard the sound of uniform footsteps, soldiers began to gather, rushed to the front or guard the wall.
Lin Ke came out of the room and found that the qinjiazhai camp was in a mess.
Many of the trial disciples are experiencing the animal tide for the first time, but the overwhelming ferocity has already made these pets panic and panic. To this extent, the battlefield is useless except for giving their heads.
"Elder Qin Shou, inspector li of recruitment office told you to gather at the school yard." A third generation disciple came in a hurry and said.
Link nodded, turned over, rode on the saber toothed tiger king and went straight to the school yard.
Link was not directly involved in the animal tide in his previous life, but this time he finally had a chance.
Soon, link arrived at the school yard.
Most of the "folk people" recruited this time are animal control masters and hunters, all of whom have a common mark - Dai pet.
At the moment, under the influence of the animal tide, the whole sky is full of fierce animal breath, and these pets are nervous.
When link arrived on Saber Toothed tiger king, the frightened pets suddenly calmed down.
Just then, link saw a man standing out in the crowd.
Hey, old acquaintance.
P. S: although today is Valentine's day, Wanjun and her partner have dinner after watching movies, it doesn't affect my update ~
at all
