Chapter 1177
As Chen Dong’s words exited his mouth.
Huo Zhenxiao’s brows lowered as he fell into deep thought.
He thought back to the wolf whistle that had shaken the heavens and the earth when he had saved Chen Dong from leaving.
It was as if that long wolf whistle had become a nightmare that lingered in his heart.
In a trance.
The fear that he felt when he was confronted with the sound of the wolf’s wail at that time reappeared, and his bones entered the marrow, and his sweat hair exploded.
“Perhaps …… there are really some things in the world that cannot be seen with mortal eyes. ,”
The first time I saw the stonemason, I was able to see the stonemason’s work.
“Old Master understands!”
Old Master Zhang cupped his fist and bowed, then said to Chen Dong, “Please come forward, if Old Master Chen’s solution works, we can finish the job in one go, these twelve zodiac martial bodies are a great merit!”
Chen Dong’s heart and soul were uplifted.
If the inheritance of the twelve Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Bodies could all be carried down, then the future Great Snow Dragon Riding Army would make a qualitative leap.
The more he perceived the “Qi” through the Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Body, the more Chen Dong felt that the martial heritage of the Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Body was as vast as a sea of stars and unparalleled in power.
At that moment, Chen Dong stepped into the middle of the twelve Zodiac Martial Dao Bodies and stood in front of the Rat Statue Martial Dao Body.
“Everything is as it was last time.”
Elder Zhang walked in front of Chen Dong with his burin in hand.
“Good!”
Chen Dong nodded, and then he raised his hand and landed on the Rat Statue Martial Dao, closing his eyes to remember.
With this closing of Chen Dong’s eyes.
Silence fell within the empty barracks.
The atmosphere was also gruff and tense.
Zhang Wu Dao looked at Elder Zhang in the middle of Wu Dao’s body with a worried face, his fists clenched tightly and his palms sweating a little.
Huo Zhenxiao also looked at Chen Dong and Old Master Zhang with a cold expression on his face and a complicated gaze.
He wanted the Martial Dao Body to be forged, but he also did not want Elder Zhang to be in danger because of this matter!
Such emotions were intertwined, making it difficult for his mind to calm down.
Finally!
With an exhale from Chen Dong, his fingers then slowly outlined.
However, considering that Elder Zhang was blind, Chen Dong’s finger outlined as slowly as possible to match the speed of Elder Zhang’s chiselling strikes.
The old man, who had already prepared himself, immediately followed Chen Dong’s right index finger with the burin in his hand and chiselled rapidly.
Clang clang clang ……
The crisp chiseling sound echoed in the barracks.
The stone chips are flying.
From time to time, there were sparks bursting out.
There was no stagnation in the flow of water.
Even though Elder Zhang was blind, he followed Chen Dong’s finger outline and struck the chisel without any hindrance.
Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao looked at this scene with anxiety.
The last time the chiselling strike was made, the martial body took the likeness of Huo Zhenxiao, who had actually reacted in the slightest when the first burin fell.
But this time, like Zhang Wu Dao, Huo Zhenxiao was also reduced to a spectator.
Neither of them knew exactly what the condition of Elder Zhang was in during the chiselling strike.
This worry and unknown gave both Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao a burning sensation, like a man’s back.
They could also only observe through the expression on Elder Zhang’s face.
Luckily, Elder Zhang’s face was as normal, firm and focused, with nothing out of the ordinary.
As the sound of chiselling strikes echoed, the first human-shaped pattern soon took shape.
Both Chen Dong and Elder Zhang did not stop, but moved on to the next human-shaped pattern.
Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao, who had always watched Elder Zhang’s facial expression, were the ones who clearly saw the corners of Elder Zhang’s mouth visibly curl up as the first humanoid pattern took shape.
Could it really …… be done?
This smile made both Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao look forward to it somewhat.
Dang ……
Within the quiet barracks, as Chen Dong outlined and Elder Zhang chiselled, a pattern quickly appeared.
As the patterns increased, the look of worry on Huo Zhenxiao’s and Zhang Wudao’s faces intensified.
Even if Elder Zhang’s face always had a smile on it, it was not enough to soothe the two men’s worries.
Having experienced the last one.
It was clear to everyone that the slightest slip-up in this kind of heritage would be fatal!
Huo Zhenxiao’s gaze was deep as he stared intently at the increasing number of patterns on the Rat Statue Martial Path.
“After chiselling a few patterns last time, I felt the suppression, and by the time I reached half of the patterns, even I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I don’t know if Elder Zhang can make it this time or not.”
This was what was going through his mind.
The last chiselling blow was miserable on the surface as Master Zhang lost his sight in both eyes.
But as the stone statue of the bearer, he had suffered an even greater suppression and impact, his life hanging by a thread, and it was no exaggeration to say that he had walked back from the ghost gate.
Even though he could now catch the smile on Master Zhang’s face and feel slightly more at ease, Huo Zhenxiao did not dare to be the least bit careless.
After the last time, Huo Zhenxiao always retained a sense of awe in his heart for such a weird and powerful martial arts heritage!
Clang clang clang ……
The sound of chisel strikes echoed faster and faster.
As if Elder Zhang had entered a state of mind, the burin in his hand quickly pushed Chen Dong’s right index finger to move.
When it was a third of the way through.
The smile on Elder Zhang’s face still did not disappear.
This could not help but heighten the anticipation in the hearts of Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao.
When it was halfway through the pattern, Elder Zhang was still smiling, only that fine beads of sweat were seeping out of his forehead.
This caused both Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao to clench their hands together.
As for this change in the fine beads of sweat on Master Zhang’s forehead, neither of them could be sure whether Master Zhang was being suppressed or whether he was just tired.
Only halfway through the proceeding.
Chen Dong, who had closed his eyes to recall his martial arts body, deliberately paused for a breath with his index finger.
After making sure that Elder Zhang was unharmed, Chen Dong’s eyebrows jumped gently as his index finger continued to outline.
Time slowly pa*sed.
The crisp chiselling sound, as the rat statue martial body gradually took shape, fell on the ears of all four people as if it had turned into heavenly music.
Only Elder Zhang’s sweat was pouring down like rain, but neither Huo Zhenxiao nor Zhang Wudao dared to be careless.
Until the last pattern was formed, until the last burin fell, no one could put their hanging hearts back in their stomachs!
Or even, just watching.
During the time they waited, Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao’s bodies were quietly covered in a fine bead of sweat.
As the chiselling of the pattern came to an end.
The light in Huo Zhenxiao’s and Zhang Wudao’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Clang!
When the last burin fell, the last pattern was formed.
Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao simultaneously let out a long breath, and their tense bodies, too, visibly relaxed.
“Cheng, it’s done?!”
Even if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, Huo Zhenxiao was in a trance like a dream at this moment, unable to believe it.
“Dad, it’s a success! You were right in your speculations, we’ve finally succeeded!”
Zhang Wudao, who was on the side, even jumped up in place, and at his age, it was difficult to restrain himself at this moment.
“Phew ……”
Chen Dong exhaled a breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The rat statue martial dao body that entered his eyes was like the most beautiful sculpture on earth, beautiful and flawless.
“Hahahaha ……”
Beside him, old man Zhang threw back his head and laughed soundly and painfully: “Old man, this lifetime of experience as a craftsman, has finally felt a hint of the Dao, right, guessed it right, this great merit, who else can I be?”
The sound of laughter echoed.
Chen Dong, Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wu Dao were all in a state of excitement and ecstasy at this moment.
It was not only because the first Martial Dao Body had been successfully forged!
It was even more because, with the first one being cast so successfully, then the subsequent Martial Dao Bodies ……
Huo Zhenxiao’s face turned red, and with a solemn expression, he stepped forward.
With a poof!
Huo Zhenxiao knelt on both knees and kowtowed to Old Master Zhang, “Old Master Gaijin, please accept Huo Zhenxiao’s obeisance!”
Chapter 1178
With this obeisance.
The joyful atmosphere within the barracks came to a screeching halt.
Chen Dong and Zhang Wu Dao both looked at Huo Zhenxiao in shock.
The Lord of the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army, the God of War of the Northern Border …… had knelt down?
If they hadn’t witnessed this scene with their own eyes, no one would have dared to believe it.
This was simply sensational!
When Huo Zhenxiao raised his head again, it was Chen Dong who clearly saw that the fog had already filled his starry eyes.
“With the existence of this Martial Dao Body, my Great Snow Dragon Riding Army’s battle power will be enhanced in no time, such a merit, Master Zhang for a thousand years to come!”
The words were heartfelt and resounding.
“Hahahaha ……”
Old Master Zhang could not see, but at this moment, he threw back his head and laughed grandly, “Thank you, Master Huo, thank you, Master Huo, Master Huo’s good intentions, so my little old man will gladly accept!”
Before the words left his mouth, a strange change occurred!
The laughing Master Zhang’s chest suddenly rose and fell, followed by a violent coughing fit.
Chen Dong, Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao were all stunned.
“Master Zhang!”
“Dad!”
Huo Zhenxiao and Zhang Wudao instantly rushed over.
And Chen Dong hurriedly held Elder Zhang: “Elder, what’s wrong with you?”
“Haha …… it’s not a problem, it’s not a problem, it’s due to exertion, I got excited for a while and my strength is a bit strained!”
Old Master Zhang’s face was red and he was panting sharply while waving his hand.
At these words.
Chen Dong and the three of them instantly stepped down.
It was fine if they were just physically exhausted.
What they feared was that after chiselling out a martial body in a smooth wind and water, the joy would be so great that the suppression would suddenly descend.
Looking at Elder Zhang, he was panting for breath.
Huo Zhenxiao decided at once, “Brother Wu Dao, please also help the old master to go back and rest.”
“Sovereign, I can still continue carving after resting for a while!”
Old Master Zhang hurriedly said, “Now that we have a good start, let’s finish the carving earlier so that the old man can complete his merits sooner!”
However.
“Elder go back and rest first, and we will continue when we have rested!”
Huo Zhenxiao was resolute in his words and could not be refuted.
Zhang Wu Dao persuaded him some more, and only then was Old Master Zhang a*sisted to leave.
After the two men had left.
Huo Zhenxiao looked agitated, his gaze rippling, his lips vaguely trembling as he stopped in front of the Rat Statue of Wudao.
He lifted his hands, wanting to caress it, but stopped when he was about to approach.
After a two-second lag, Huo Zhenxiao retracted his hands again and put them down.
“Blasphemy, blasphemy, this martial arts treasure, my hands touching it, is simply blasphemy. ,”
Huo Zhenxiao’s voice trembled with excitement.
It was hard to imagine that he would have such a hard time controlling himself.
Chen Dong at the side also looked on with a secret smacking of his lips.
Huo Zhenxiao always gazed at the rat statue martial arts body, the dazzling personal patterns, as if the vast starry sky, beautiful.
It took a long time.
Only then did Huo Zhenxiao lamented, “With this martial dao body, the brothers of my Great Snow Dragon Riding Army will have an overall increase in strength, and perhaps there will no longer be so many horse-geared corpses and capped corpses every year, I have waited for this day for a long, long time ……”
Chen Dong gazed profoundly at Huo Zhenxiao.
He knew from the moment he entered the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army that the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army was located at the northern frontier and was responsible for the most dangerous places in the domain, even the recruitment of soldiers was done directly from other armies to collect elites, even so, the speed at which the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army recruited soldiers was mind-boggling.
Even so, the speed at which the Great Snow Dragon Riders recruited soldiers was mind-boggling. The terrifying speed of recruitment also meant terrifying casualties.
As powerful as the Great Snow Dragon Riders were, as prestigious as they were!
But beneath its fame, it is still the flesh and blood of individuals who have forged an impenetrable wall of flesh and blood on the northern frontier!
One by one, human lives and corpses were piled up to create the unparalleled might of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry’s hundred victories!
But in the vicious land of the Northern Frontier, this is something that cannot be reversed by human hands!
The Northern Frontier was once a place where human lives were piled on top of each other, but never before had they created an insurmountable gap in the sky, unable to protect the peace and prosperity of the territory.
Huo Zhenxiao, however, had done it!
But Chen Dong asked himself, even he could see the blood flowing under the mighty name of the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army, how could Huo Zhenxiao, as the master of the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army, not see it?
As a master of the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army, how could Huo Zhenxiao not see that? With 300,000 Great Snow Dragon Riding Army in his hands, even a single soldier under his command was his own man, a comrade who had fought and died together!
As a master, how could one not feel for those fallen comrades?
“Perhaps this kneeling of Senior Brother is on behalf of the living and dead soldiers of the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army!”
This was the thought in Chen Dong’s mind.
While thinking, he was seeing Huo Zhenxiao quietly raising his hand and wiping the corners of his eyes.
“It is said that a general’s success will dry up all the bones, and that is true, but I, Huo Zhenxiao, am also heartbroken when I look at the corpses pulled back by the carts and horses, the blood that flowed out that could store up a long river! They are all born and raised by their mothers and fathers, and they are all good men of blood.
Huo Zhenxiao murmured softly, his smile getting bigger and bigger: “Now it’s good, good days are coming, this year, this waxing eighth is the best festival of my life!”
As he spoke.
Huo Zhenxiao turned around, full of excitement and delight, and wrapped his arms around Chen Dong’s shoulders.
“Today is a happy day, call Bai Qi over and let’s drink over the waxing eight congee.”
Chen Dong’s footsteps gave a beat, and did not look at Huo Zhenxiao, and said to himself, “A man’s tears are not lightly shed.”
“F**k not crying, even straight men have to cry when they see a purgatory with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
Huo Zhenxiao took Chen Dong by the shoulders and walked towards the outside in big strides.
It was just when walking out of the door.
Chen Dong still saw Huo Zhenxiao raise his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and his expression once again returned to his usual cold indifference.
After all …… still want to face it!
Chen Dong laughed lightly, but lamented, “If it weren’t for the fact that my father’s birthday is five days away and I must return, I would really like to stay in the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army for some more time.”
“What, you don’t want to inherit the family business and want to become a soldier?”
Huo Zhenxiao lightly raised his sword brows.
Chen Dong smiled spontaneously, “The army is so good, straightforward, life and death combat, no city calculations, no deceitfulness, and no need to pretend to act, everything is done with strength, sometimes when I think about it, it is indeed quite good.”
“Then you tell the Chen family that you will stay as a soldier in my Great Snow Dragon Riding Army and not go back.”
Huo Zhenxiao said with a strange smile.
“Still have to go back.”
Chen Dong shrugged, his expression solemn and his gaze firm, “It’s not just me, in five days’ time, it’s also about my mother, it’s about my wife, I promised them that I would do it!”
“Good!”
Huo Zhenxiao smiled, “Five days later, many people will kill you, many people want you dead, I’ll help you!”
“You still have to guard the frontier!”
Chen Dong shrugged helplessly.
“Guarding the frontier will help you too!”
Huo Zhenxiao said softly, but firmly, “You’re the leading guard of my Great Snow Dragon Riding Army, I’m justified in helping!”
