The blood meridians laboratory was currently the most important branch of the Bronze Camp, before the expansion of the mechanical weapons laboratory, they spent a lot of time on the scale of the laboratory, which far exceeded the mechanic weapons laboratory.
The blood meridians laboratory’s biggest conference room was full of people.
They were quarreling intensely.
The battle had scared all of them, but what came after that was endless rage. Old Man Fei had invited a few blood meridians specialists who were powerful individually, but they were all proud people, and were disliked by others because of their unreasonable tempers.
After finding a footing with much difficulty, they were all relatively satisfied. The boss hardly came by, and caused some of the new helpers to be anxious, but for those who were drunk in research and ignored every other thing, it was the best. No one bothering them was the best thing they would ask for.
Although they did not like each other, but that was only when they were learning, after quarreling, fighting and pulling, everyone would enjoy the atmosphere.
Their characters were unreasonable, but not because they were stupid, but only because they were proud people, so they understood their common stakes.
After the battle, they finally realized, where they were, was not as safe as they thought.
Everyone decided to think of ideas and thus gathered together, but very quickly the started quarreling again.
“Scared? Screw your mother dog shit!” An old man with his hair and beard in an unruly mess, his face was flushed red, he slammed the table and roared: “When have I, Old Dan, ever got scared of anyone! In the past even that She…She… something, I forgot his name, ranked 3000 plus on the list…”
“Alright alright, Old Dan, don’t purposely seek the bad seeds out of pile of seeds, anyway this time round, whoever runs is a coward!” A black faced old man laughed coldly.
A skinny old man who was plucking his toenails spoke without raising his head: “They think that the Flowing Wind Group can scare us away? Saying that makes me more ashamed!”
Old Man Fei impatiently slammed the table: “Everyone stop! I got you all together was to discuss about ideas, not to speak rubbish!”
All these people were pulled in by Old Man Fei, and out of everyone, Old Man Fei was quite reputable.
A middle aged woman said indifferently: “I have researched on the Ancient Lizard Blood Meridians, and have recently separated a special poison, it can paralyze a person’s state of mind, it has an extremely powerful diffusion through True Power. So we can release this poison at a crucial position.”
“Good stuff! As expected of Madam Sen!” The skinny old man’s eyes lit up, he stopped plucking his toenails: “I will stop concealing myself too, for this period of time I have been going through research. The direction of it is, if we injected blood meridians into star spirit beasts, could we create even stronger star spirit beasts?”
The skinny old man’s thoughts made everyone interested.
Even Old Man Fei exposed an interested expression: “What was the results?”
“I have already succeeded with three types of star spirit beasts, and they are quite strong.” The skinny old man exposed a pleased look.
Madam Sen asked: “How are we supposed to control these star spirit beasts?”
The skinny old man exposed an annoyed look: “That is the problem I am facing, these three star spirit beasts are in cages inside my lab, they are completely out of control.”
“What’s the use if you cannot control them!” The old man who had roared and slammed the table retorted.
“Are we able to use the method like mechanic spirit weapons?” The black faced old man asked: “Change their martial spirits.”
Old Man Fei shook his head: “That’s not possible, the martial spirit of star spirit beasts are more complicated than mechanic spirit weapons.”
At this time, a short fat lady at the corner spoke out: “Maybe I have an idea.”
Everyone all turned and looked at her, all of them looking surprised. The short fat lady was Madam Lin, her standard was rather ordinary and was usually very quiet. She was one who spoke very little, so no one would ever notice her.
Madam Lin did not panic because of everyone’s gaze, and said calmly: “In the past my body was not good, but I was unable to seek help from anyone, so I thought of using star spirit beasts to help me. After that I realized, as long as I injected a diluted portion of the blood meridians of the star spirit beast, I would be able to feel it’s intimacy. But communication between both of us is still a problem. And at the start when I was separating the Ancient Wolf Blood Meridians, I realized that the Ancient Wolf Blood Meridians was able to produce a response. After that I found out, as long as both sides absorb a diluted portion of ancient wolf blood meridians, then there will be a complete communication grounds.”
Everyone was shocked.
“That’s great!” The skinny man slapped his thighs and said excitedly: “I will go and test it out right now!”
Finished, he totally ignored everyone and left like the wind.
Hula, all of them all stood up together and followed behind, wanting to watch him.
Everyone knew, if it was successful, it would be something incredible.

“Are they going launch a fight?”
The long robed teen looked at the report in his hands, he was surprised, it was such an extensive goods movement, and was definitely not normal. Especially that the amount of bronze purchased was so huge, it truly was surprising.
The situation was abnormal.
“Are they planning to expand their army?” The pampered boy asked carefully, he was not stupid, his older brother’s view on Three Spirit City, far exceeded his expectation. With his understanding of his older brother, with such value, there was definitely an ulterior motive.
The long robed teen laughed: “We will know soon enough”
He knew who his father had sent, the mysterious man by his father’s side. He had never seen him before, but he knew that by his father’s side, there was a strong and mysterious martial artist, and during the most crucial timings, his father would send him out.
Was it that important?
The long robed teen had some suspicions, but very quickly he stopped thinking about it. With the person moving out, the truth will come to light very quickly. He simply had to wait for the result, and did not need to act blindly.
Duan Mu stood from afar and looked at the bronze fort, he had been on watch out for a full week. He did not take action immediately, he was prudent in nature, without 100% assurance, he would definitely not make his move. He knew that after finishing this last mission, he would regain himself, and so was extremely patient.
He could see that the inside of the Bronze Camp it was extremely tight on defense and security.
It did not make him feel surprised. After experiencing the battles, if the defense was lax and weak, then he would not be sent to act on such trash.
In one week, he had carefully inspected the bronze camp once, and felt weird about some parts.
For instance, there were many locations of the camp where he saw that it was weird, because it was truly too retro. Ancient structures and current structures naturally had huge differences, and after so many years have passed, many tactics have all changed. The reason why these old parts had lost effectiveness was because every generation, people continued to research, and they quickly found loopholes and solutions to such loopholes.
The camp that was filled with an ancient vibe, was like a beautiful woman without defenses to him.
But he still did not act blindly, for such an unusual deployment could most probably be a trap. Duan Mu did not think that there would be people who would truly use such ancient techniques to deploy their defenses.
He went around for a week, becoming increasingly cautious.
Because he did not find any strange occurrences, it made him feel unusual. Every detail, was perfectly restored ancient walls decorations, and all those ancient walls were filled with professionalism. If any professionals saw the camp, they would definitely exclaim out loud.
A perfect ancient defense structure.
That only meant that the opponent had researched deeply into ancient defenses deployment, how could this person not know about the loopholes and weaknesses of it?
Since the opponent knows, and by purposely doing so, they definitely had something up their sleeves!
Until the 10th day, he had to admit, the opponent was extremely professional to the point that his standard was rarely seen. In the 10 days of time, he actually did not find any marks of pretense.
The ancient defensive positions were even more accurate than textbooks!
He has met an expert!
Duan Mu calmed himself down, but there was nothing that could scare him, he could make his move, but will the opponent be so underhanded?
On the 15th day, he decided to take action.
In the five days, according to the positionings, he had found a few loopholes, and had carried out extrapolation, and gained more than 15 types of possible traps.
He had absolute confidence in his own power, but he had never only relied on a person’s battle abilities and engaged, such a reckless action to him was only seeking death.
Only with strong power, matched with elaborated planning, could the possibility of success be secured.
He chose a location where he could break through the defense easily, because in that position, there were definitely no traps awaiting him.
The best time to sneak in was at night, where the black clouds would cover the moonlight, and in the darkness where even the fingers could not be seen. Duan Mu was like a shadow, quietly advancing into the bronze camp.
He quietly dropped from the city wall.
Inside the ancient defense formation, his current position was the area where the concentration of attack was the highest. To a martial artist who had in depth research on ancient defense formations, they would definitely not choose such a place to enter.
Because of that, it also became the area with the highest probability of no traps.
It was truly the place of weakness!
Duan Mu was confident, but he did not harp too much about it, his light body techniques was outstanding, and did not alert anyone. His hands and legs did not even touch the wall, he was like a ball of air, quietly sweeping past.
When he flew up the wall, the scene in front of him caused him to be taken aback.
The interior of the Bronze City was extremely huge, but when he looked up, the sky was filled with many umbrellas!
Umbrellas?
He was suspicious, he carefully scrutinized the area, they truly were opened bronze umbrellas floating in the air. There were many of them, roughly numbered about a few hundred.
Thinking that it was some sort of mechanism, Duan Mu immediately became even more cautious.
He did not notice that, in the corner where there was a lot of rubbish, a bronze spider the size of a coin was trembling.
Inside the underground mechanical weapons lab where it was completely messy, all of the mechanic engineers were extremely excited.
“As expected, he has walked right into the trap!”
“The first one to send himself in!”
“Haha, lucky we have prepared already!”
…..
Sai Lei frowned then bellowed : “Everyone shut up!”
Everyone immediately kept quiet out of fear, to the point where even a needle dropping could be heard.
Sai Lei beautiful pupils contained killing intent: “Everyone return to your positions, whoever dares to screw up at such a crucial moment, humph humph!”
Everyone immediately dispersed.
Sai Lei watched the imagery in front of her as she clenched her teeth: “Luckily this sister had prepared earlier!”
Pa, she snapped her fingers.
“Prepare for the feast!”
