Chapter 69: Telescope!

  The 9th and 10th Mountain Villa's achievements are still in ongoing competition.

  And now the Ninth Mountain Villa has taken the upper hand.

  Unbeknownst to them, the achievements of the Ninth Mountain Villa had already surpassed those of the Tenth Mountain Villa by tenfold.

  No, it's already eleven times more.

  At this time, Gu Chao was still practicing his sword.

  The heavy rain had already soaked through Gu Chao's clothes.

  Ancient super messy as if unaware, freely practicing sword.

  The Gale Knife Technique was being executed move by move.

  When he was wielding it, Gu Chao faintly felt that the wind of heaven and earth was synchronizing with his sword.

  Each knife and each move corresponds to a scene of heaven and earth.

  Suddenly a strong wind came from the edge of the sky, suddenly a strong wind brought heavy rain, suddenly a strong wind brought swift thunder, suddenly a strong wind swept away fallen leaves.

  Deeply understanding the meaning of every scene between heaven and earth, Gu Chao seems to be lost in thought.

  The sword paused, Gu Chao was thinking.

  After a long time, Gu Chao started practicing his sword again. This time, his swordsmanship had changed once more, as if it were like the wind. Gu Chao gradually came to realize that when he employed his Gale Sword Technique, the sword was the wind and the wind was the sword; they could merge into one entity. This was the true essence of mastering the Gale Sword Technique.

  After grasping this truth, Gu Chao's knife skills suddenly accelerated, and his speed was even faster than before.

  Now Gu Chao's sword is out, it really has the meaning of a strong wind.

  Great! I've finally mastered the Dīcé Fēng Dāo Fǎ of the Second-Order Martial Skill.

  A beautiful knife flower, Gu Chao sheathed his long sword, and the rain had almost stopped by now. Since he had practiced the Gale Knife Technique to perfection, it was time for him to go hunt the sand snake. Actually, when he knew that this time he would be hunting the sand snake, Gu Chao made preparations for it, specially preparing a certain object.

  This thing is - a telescope.

  In his past life, in junior high school politics books, Gu Chao had learned that the important difference between humans and animals is the use of tools. Having tools but not using them is stupid. Gu Chao had previously used a custom-made large slingshot and custom-made skateboard when stealing the mysterious small knife, which was making good use of tools.

  And this time, to come to Linhe County to kill the sand snake, Gu Chao had already studied the terrain of Linhe County and found that it was extremely flat. After being desertified by the sand snake, the terrain became even flatter. Such a flat terrain is just right for using binoculars to observe where there are sand snakes.

  Sand snakes are not stationary, and finding them takes a lot of time. For example, you ride your horse northward, only to find no sand snakes when you arrive. So most of the time is spent searching for sand snakes rather than fighting them. It can be said that if there were seven parts of time, at least six parts would be spent on finding sand snakes, and at most one part would be used in battling them. A telescope, however, allows you to clearly see where there are sand snakes and where there aren't from a high vantage point, saving time without wasting any.

  That's what Gu Chao had in mind.

  So this is also the reason why Gu Chao wants to make a telescope.

  As for the principle of the telescope, Gu Chao still remembers it clearly. The telescope is an optical instrument that uses concave and convex lenses to observe distant objects. By using the refraction or reflection of light through the lens to enter a small hole and form an image, and then passing through a magnifying eyepiece to be seen. Simply put, the telescope consists of one convex lens plus one concave lens. The inner concave is for dispersing the line of sight to see distant points, and the outer convex is for gathering light to see clearly.

  Of course, there was no glass in this world, but there was a glaze that looked like glass. Before departure, Gu Cha had already bought two pieces of extremely smooth glaze and added some manual work to it. After a period of fine-tuning, he made a somewhat rough but very practical telescope.

  This should be the world's first telescope, of course, Gu Chao also made the world's first skateboard. Gu Chao even carefully destroyed something he had used once and made himself. Some things are for personal use only, most beneficial to oneself, and will not be given to others for no reason.

  Gu Chao took out a wooden box from his bosom, inside which was a sponge that served as a buffer to protect the object within. In the center of the sponge was a pair of binoculars with a wooden frame. Conveniently, there was a civilian house nearby, and Gu Chao climbed onto its roof in one swift motion, placing the binoculars before his eyes.

  Through the biconvex and biconcave lenses of crystal, Gu Chao could see that in the southeast direction at an angle of about 50 degrees, there was a double-headed sand snake. In the southwest direction at an angle of about 75 degrees, there were two double-headed sand snakes, which were entwined together, as if they were a pair of husband and wife sand snakes.

  In the northwest, there was a three-headed sand snake with three heads that looked particularly ferocious.

  In the East there is a three-headed sand snake.

  Gu Chao took out the paper and pen he had prepared earlier, and quickly drew a rough map of his current location, including the approximate positions of the sand snakes. In no time, a fairly clear coordinate map appeared in Gu Chao's hand, showing which locations had sand snakes, how many there were, and what distance they were from him. If Nan Gong Yuan and Xi Men Can, the two elders, were here to see Gu Chao's actions now, they would probably be immediately impressed. This was absolutely a top-notch large-scale combat talent, and such a person, even if their martial arts skills weren't great, would still be a treasure of the sect.

  Gǔ chāo's strong points, originally lay in his wisdom and absolutely overwhelming worldview, he could utilize all sorts of things from the previous world, various concepts, to assist himself in developing in this world.

  The current Gu Chao has already practiced the Gale Knife Technique to the realm of great perfection, using a telescope to observe the number of sand snakes around him, and at the same time, he also drew an extremely clear coordinate map in his hand. With all three prepared, it's time to put them into action. The knife is sharpened, now it's time to chop wood, sand snakes, you will meet your demise.

  Gǔ Chāo dashed towards the southeast direction at an angle of about 50 degrees, which should be the two-headed sand snake that was about two miles away. The one closest to him had already been chosen by Gǔ Chāo as the nearest route, striving to solve the most sand snakes in the shortest time possible. Jiǔ Shān Zhuāng wanted to wash away ten times the battle achievements of Shí Shān Zhuāng, how could this be possible?

  The second sand boa.

  The third sand snake.

  The fourth sand boa.

  The fifth and sixth sand snakes, these two sand snakes were together, so they became Gu Chao's spoils of war together.

  The tenth Sand Snake, this is a three-headed sand snake with the strength of around eight layers of the Post-Heaven Boundary. The attack methods of the three-headed sand snake are more diverse, after all, it has three heads. However, it was no match for Gu Chao, especially after Gu Chao had practiced the Wind Blade Technique to perfection, his knife was as fast as the wind, and in the end, this three-headed sand snake also became one of Gu Chao's battle achievements.

  Gu Chao's performance continues to improve.

  At this moment, in the entire Linhe County, no one can match Gu Chao's speed of improvement.

  ……

  Linhe County's county town central, Rujia Inn.

  Nan Gong Yuan looked at the four people in front of him, all of whom were injured. They were Fang Yin, Zhang Tao, Lin Yuan and Liu Ya. During their battle with the sand snake, they had used up all the detoxification pills and smoke bombs, leaving them no choice but to retreat. Without any more detoxification pills or smoke bombs, continuing to fight the sand snake would be suicidal.

  As a clever person in society, one should know when to advance and retreat.

  Advance when it is time to advance, retreat when it is time to retreat.

  Only then did the four of them retreat, leaving just Murong Ying and Gu Chao still holding on.

  As a result, the final achievement of this extermination plan for the sand snakes is very likely to be washed away by the Ninth Mountain Villa tenfold or more.

  It seems this time I really can't beat Old Man Xi Men, and let that guy Xi Men take the upper hand.

  Of course, now it's time to look at the final statistics of the battle performance.

  The first update is delivered.
