I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 239 - 9: Hunting God Bow · Thunderstrike! (3/3)
Thanks to the intelligence gathered by Xiao Yue earlier, the two intentionally bypassed the location of Cliff City.
Therefore, in a smooth journey without wind or danger, Wu Yi and Xiao Yue finally arrived at the border between the Ghostfang Kingdom and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and saw a magnificent grand canal.
"That's the Hundred Lands Grand Canal!"
Staring in awe at the obviously man-made grand canal, Xiao Yue couldn't help but let out a gasp of amazement.
"The last time I came here, this was still 'Heaven's Edge.'
"The Prophet, with the presence of a Ghost God, slashed the Earth Vein, creating a forbidden zone between the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and the Ghostfang Kingdom."
"Back then, I didn't have the ability to fly, so I took quite a few detours to bypass this 'Heaven's Edge.'"
With a slight pause in his tone, Xiao Yue's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
The journey through the Hundred Lands Mountain Range had allowed Xiao Yue to undergo a qualitative change and leap forward, and now he had upgraded from Minister of Justice to the close guard of the Common Lord.
Even if it was just a temporary role as a guard for this journey, it was enough to reflect Xiao Yue's current status in Great Xia.
"Using Ghost God spirit monsters to carve out a canal, serving as the vanguard for Wuzhiqi's army invasion, this style clearly belongs to that Crown Prince."
Wu Yi, however, had fewer emotions but appeared slightly surprised as well when looking at the grand canal.
"Unfortunately, Huo Ji chose the wrong opponent this time."
"Not only that, but even the grand river he excavated ultimately became the spoils for the mountain people."
Looking into the distance, Wu Yi could clearly see many peculiar ships emerging from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and sailing along the grand canal to the outside world.
Compared to the dugout canoes and sampan boats of this era,
those ships built by the mountain people were evidently much more advanced.
Not only were they larger, but they also had complete structures including keels, ribs, hulls, masts, sails, watertight compartments, and rudders for balance.
When Wu Yi used witchcraft to enhance his vision and carefully observed those ships,
he even saw a complete navigation route map at the bow of those ships.
Of course, the mountain people had now gotten into the habit of calling it a "River Map."
In fact, these ships were not designed by Li Boyang.
They were all summarized and designed by the mountain people themselves after studying the various marvelous devices recorded in the "Luo Book."
Therefore, the ships did not have a uniform style.
The creativity and imagination of the designers were evident from every detail.
There were ships that navigated with windmills, and others with pedal-powered waterwheels...
Some imaginative mountain people even used a fish-scale overlapping method to piece together countless small wooden planks into a large ship.
Even Wu Yi, who had always been bold and skilled, couldn't help but feel a thrill of unease when he saw those unique fish-scale ships.
He didn't know what the mountain people used to adhere those small wooden planks together.
But Wu Yi knew that once these pieced-together ships encountered strong winds and waves, they wouldn't last long.
"Are those... ships?"
At this moment, Xiao Yue, squinting his eyes wide, also saw those ships on the canal.
Each of these ships was manned by dozens of people, and despite having traveled far and wide for years, boasting about his vast experience, it was the first time Xiao Yue had seen such ships.
"What are these mountain people doing? Are they planning to leave the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"
Hearing Xiao Yue's question, Wu Yi explained with a smile.
"The mountain people aren't leaving here; they plan to head out into the world to trade with other Fang Kingdoms."
"Don't be fooled by all the people on these ships' decks; below the deck is where the cargo is hidden."
"Grain, salt, silks, paper, and some items I don't even recognize..."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine..."
"These people were just a group of mountain-dwelling barbarians struggling to survive a few years ago."
Just as Wu Yi was feeling this sense of awe, his expression suddenly changed, and he sharply turned his head to look in the direction of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
"What...?"
Just half a beat behind Wu Yi, Xiao Yue's heterodox Primordial Spirit inside him also issued a warning.
The next second, a fierce Primordial Qi Fire suddenly burst from within him, then transformed into a fire dragon that firmly protected the two of them.
...........................
"Oh?"
Almost at the same time that Wu Yi and Xiao Yue's expressions changed.
Several tens of kilometers away, on a relatively flat hill at Zhenhe Peak.
A giant over ten meters tall, with four arms, suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"Such a fast response?"
"It seems they are either unfriendly or a powerful dragon crossing the river!"
This four-armed giant was none other than Lord Tingyao, the Mountain God who once resisted the flood together with Qiwa.
Now, Lord Tingyao had already regained freedom.
However, whether to commemorate the flood or simply wanting to stay away from Li Boyang,
Lord Tingyao ultimately chose to come to the vicinity of the grand canal at Zhenhe Peak, becoming the new Mountain God stationed there.
Whenever foreign gods or powerful beings attempted to enter the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Lord Tingyao would take the initiative to test them, just like before.
"In that case, let me first test your limits!"
Suddenly stretching out an arm to strike the ground beneath, Lord Tingyao's voice became exceptionally excited at this moment.
Rumble...
In an instant, the mineral veins hidden beneath the earth actively converged and condensed.
Once Lord Tingyao withdrew his hand from the ground, a metallic giant bow nearly as tall as he was had taken form.
Unlike ordinary hunter bows of this era,
this metallic giant bow was not only made of extremely rare materials, but its structure was also unusually complex.
Clearly, this metallic giant bow was a formidable weapon that Lord Tingyao had designed for himself, referencing the mechanical structures found in the "Luo Book."
In terms of pure structure, this metallic giant bow might not even match up to the compound bow in Li Boyang's memory.
But to maximize his own strength advantage, 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Lord Tingyao's enhancements in other aspects had definitely reached the limit of what mechanical structures could achieve.
This is a God!
A high-dimensional lifeform far surpassing ordinary creatures in both strength and wisdom!
As long as someone takes the lead in opening the door to what is called "technology," they can use it with unimaginable speed and make it their own.
"Actually, I've wanted to play like this for a long time!"
With Lord Tingyao assuming a bow-drawing posture with two hands, his other two arms drew a thunder talisman in mid-air.
Using Life Essence Qi as the guide, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi as the source...
Forcibly summoning the thunder between Heaven and Earth and transforming it into arrows to attack the enemy.
This was exactly the attack method Lord Tingyao had simulated in his own way after witnessing Li Jingshu's Thunder Bullet.
Besides spending some effort learning the thunder talisman, everything else was naturally and effortlessly accomplished.
