God-Hunting Bow · Thunder Strike! (3/3)

Thanks to the intelligence gathered by Xiao Yue, the two deliberately bypassed the location of Cliff Settlement City.

Therefore, after a journey without wind or danger, Wu Yi and his companion finally arrived at the border between the Guifang Kingdom and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, where they saw a magnificent canal.

"That's the Hundred Lands Grand Canal!"

Staring in awe at the Grand Canal, whose man-made features were clearly visible, I couldn't help but let out a gasp of amazement.

"The last time I was here, this was just Thread of Sky."

"The prophet, with the aura of Ghost God, severed the Earth Veins with his sword, drawing a forbidden zone between the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and the Guifang Kingdom."

"I didn't have the ability to fly at the time, so I took a lot of detours to get around that Thread of Sky."

He paused slightly, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

That journey through the Hundred Lands Mountain Range brought about a qualitative change and leap, and now he has been upgraded from Sikou to the personal bodyguard of the Common Lord.

Even if it was just a temporary escort for this trip, it was enough to show their current status in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"To use Ghost God and spirits to dig canals and serve as the vanguard for Wuzhiqi's invasion—this is clearly the style of that eldest prince."

Wu Yi didn't have many feelings, but he also looked at the Grand Canal with a hint of surprise.

Unfortunately, Huoji chose the wrong opponent this time.

"Not only that, even the great river he dug eventually became the spoils of war for the Mountain Folk."

Looking into the distance, Wu Yi could clearly see many strange ships emerging from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and then sailing along the Grand Canal towards the outside world.

Compared to the canoes and plank boats of this era.

The boats built by the Mountain Folk were clearly much more advanced.

They are not only larger than ordinary ships, but also have a complete keel, ribs, hull, mast, sails, watertight compartments and rudder structure.

When Wu Yi used a spell that enhanced his vision to carefully observe the ships.

He even saw the bow positions of those ships and the complete navigation route map.

Of course, the Mountain Folk nowadays usually call it "River Chart".

In fact, these ships were not designed by Li Boyang.

These were all invented and designed by the Mountain Folk themselves by studying the various marvelous devices recorded on the "Luo River Book".

Therefore, those ships did not have a unified style.

The designer's ingenuity is evident in every detail.

Some were propelled by windmills, while others were propelled by pedal-powered waterwheels.

Some ingenious Mountain Folk even used a fish-scale-like edge-stacking method to painstakingly piece together countless small planks of wood to form a large ship.

Even Wu Yi, who was known for his exceptional skills and daring, couldn't help but feel a sense of dread when he saw those unique fish-scale boats.

He didn't know what the Mountain Folk used to glue those small pieces of wood together.

But Wu Yi knew that a ship cobbled together like this wouldn't last long if it encountered Great Wind.

Are those ships?

Just then, those who strained their eyes also spotted the boats on the canal.

Those boats each carried dozens of people, and even with his many years of travel and experience, Yi Yue had never seen anything like them before.

"What are these Mountain Folk doing? Are they going to leave the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

Upon hearing the question, Wu Yi smiled and began to explain.

"The Mountain Folk aren't leaving; they intend to travel to other countries to trade."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that these ships are full of people on deck; underneath, they're packed with cargo."

"Grain, salt, brocade, paper, and some other things I don't even recognize—"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be really hard to imagine---"

"A few years ago, these people were just a group of Mountain Folk and barbarians struggling to survive."

Just as Wu Yi was feeling this way, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly turned his head to look in the direction of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"How---?"

He was only half a beat slower Wu Yi when the Left Path Primordial Spirit within his body issued a warning to him.

The next second, a surge of primordial Yuan Qi burst forth from his body, transforming into a fire dragon that firmly protected the two of them.

"La?"

Almost at the same moment that Wu Yi and the other person changed their expressions.

Dozens of kilometers away, on a relatively flat hill in River Pillow Peak.

A giant over ten meters tall with four arms suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Such a quick reaction?"

"It seems either they've come with ill intentions, or a powerful dragon is crossing the river!"

This four-armed giant was none other than Yan Xiaojun, the mountain god who fought against the flood alongside the Qiwa.

Now, Yan Xiaojun has long since regained her freedom.

However, it is unclear whether this was to commemorate the floods of that time or simply to distance themselves from Li Boyang.

Yan Xiaojun ultimately chose to come to River Pillow Peak near the Grand Canal and became the new mountain god stationed there.

Whenever a foreign deity or powerful figure attempts to enter the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Yan Xiaojun will, as before, take the initiative to probe them.

"In that case, let me test your strengths first!"

Suddenly, he stretched out an arm and slammed it into the ground beneath his feet. Yan Xiaojun's voice became exceptionally excited at that moment.

Rumble...

In an instant, the mineral veins buried beneath the earth actively converged and condensed.

When Yan Xiaojun pulled his hand out of the ground, a large metal bow, almost as tall as him, had taken shape.

Unlike ordinary hunting bows of this era.

This large metal bow is not only extremely rare in its material, but also has an unusually complex structure.

It is obvious that this large metal bow was a murder weapon that Yan Xiaojun specially tailored for himself, based on the mechanical structure in the Luo River Book.

In terms of pure structure, this metal bow might not even be as good as the composite bow that Li Boyang remembered.

However, in order to maximize their own strength advantages.

Yan Xiaojun's enhancements in other aspects have absolutely reached the limits that mechanical structures can achieve.

This is a god!

A higher-dimensional life form that far surpasses ordinary beings in both strength and intelligence!

All it takes is for someone to knock on that door called "technology" first, and we will be able to turn it into our own at an unimaginable speed.

"Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time!"

As Yan Xiaojun positioned his two hands as if drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, his other two arms drew a Thunder Method Talisman Seal Script in mid-air.

It takes the Life Primordial Qi as its guide and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi as its source.

They forcibly summoned the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, which then transformed into arrows to attack the enemy.

This was an attack method that Yan Xiaojun simulated in his own way after witnessing Li Jingshu's Thunder Method bullets.

Apart from putting in some effort when learning Thunder Method Talisman Seal Script, everything else came naturally and effortlessly.
