Chapter 15 Water Dragon Cannon
Wu Yi recognized the chubby boy with snot and tears streaming down his face at a glance.
Ximen Xiao is the son of Ximen Hao.
In the original storyline, he was Nangong Wentian's good friend. Although he was timid and fearful, he was kind-hearted.
His father, Ximen Hao, was the lord of Ximen City, and his signature move, "Ximen Divine Fist," was incredibly powerful.
The Taixu Beast is the guardian beast of the Ximen family, managing the water source in the Ximen area. After transforming, it becomes the divine weapon Taixu, with power like a typhoon.
Ximen Xiao ran up to Wu Yi and knelt down with a thud.
"Uncle Nangong! My dad has been captured by the Fiend King Yama! The Void Beast has also been corrupted by demons!"
"Ximen City is now full of the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader's men! I... I can't beat them, please..."
He was crying so hard he was trembling all over.
Wu Yi looked down at the boy in front of him who was crying uncontrollably.
"stand up."
"I was planning to go to Ximen City anyway," Wu Yi said calmly. "You can come with me."
Ximen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He scrambled to his feet, wiping away his tears forcefully. "Thank you, Uncle Nangong! Thank you, Uncle Nangong!"
Wu Yi didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the giant spirit dragon.
Since General Spicy has already fled to West Gate City, the checkpoints along the way from the original storyline, such as Clear Spring Mountain, Mirror River, and Echo Valley, are most likely already empty.
However, Wu Yi did not intend to skip these places.
Firstly, these places are essential routes to Ximen City; secondly, although the enemy has withdrawn from these areas, the people are still there, and the mess left behind by the rampaging monsters needs to be cleaned up.
The subordinates Wu Yi brought were there to do these things.
After learning about the specific situation in Tianshui Town and resting for a while, Wu Yi set off again.
The giant dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky.
Shenwu followed closely behind, while Jingxie remained in the same position, perched on the tail of the giant dragon.
Nangong Wenya nestled in Wu Yi's arms, while the Tianjing Beast lay beside her.
As for Nangong Wentian and Ximen Xiao, they rode on a flying dragon.
The soldiers who originally piloted the dragons were left behind in Sweetwater to help rebuild their homes.
The people of Sweetwater Town watched the group of people gradually disappear into the distance, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.
……
The giant dragon flew north along the route leading to West Gate City.
The scenery of the desert gradually changed.
The rolling sand dunes began to thin out, replaced by patches of dry, saline land.
The ground was covered with cracks, like a giant spider web.
Occasionally, you can see a few withered poplars, their bare branches stretching towards the sky, as if silently accusing something.
After flying for about half an hour, a mountain that wasn't too high appeared ahead.
Qingquan Mountain.
From above, the mountain, composed of bluish-gray rocks, stands out starkly against the vast desert landscape.
At the foot of the mountain, a riverbed meanders by, but the water flowing in it is not clear water, but rather streams of turbid, yellowish-brown mud.
The mud spread down the mountainside, turning the farmland and villages along both banks of the river into a yellowish-brown color.
This is the masterpiece of the wrestling general and the mud worm.
However, there was no sign of the wrestling general on Qingquan Mountain at this moment, nor was there any movement of muddy earthworms.
All that remains are polluted water sources and ravaged villages.
Sure enough, the wrestling general also ran away.
The giant dragon landed on a platform halfway up the mountain.
Wu Yi leaped off the dragon's back and scanned his surroundings.
The mountain spring water has been completely polluted by mud, and what gushes out of the spring is a thick, yellowish-brown slurry that smells earthy.
In the farmland along both banks of the river, the crops were all covered by mud and could no longer be seen.
The villagers gathered in twos and threes at the foot of the mountain. When they saw the giant dragon descend, they were initially panicked, but then some of them recognized Wu Yi and shouted with joy.
"It's City Lord Nangong! City Lord Nangong has come to save us!"
Wu Yi reassured the villagers for a few words, promising to send someone to clean up the water source, and then his gaze fell on the back of Qingquan Mountain.
He remembered that there was a part in the original plot where an unclaimed treasure was hidden in the icy cave behind the waterfall of Qingquan Mountain.
When Nangong Wentian passed by this place, Ximen Xiao heard about it and found it in the cave. From then on, this treasure became Ximen Xiao's personal weapon.
This treasure is called the Water Dragon Cannon.
For Wu Yi, the water dragon cannon was naturally no match for it.
After all, this thing is different from a divine weapon. It's similar to Nangong Wentian's Green Pearl Wristband, and it can't bring out Wu Yi's swordsmanship and internal strength advantages.
In terms of the water dragon cannon itself, its attack power might not even be as strong as Wu Yi's own.
But the reason this was mentioned suddenly was mainly because Wu Yi thought of Nangong Wentian.
Without the Heavenly Crystal Beast, Nangong Wentian is obviously much worse than in the animation. Wu Yi plans to take out the Water Dragon Cannon and give it to his adopted son as a small compensation.
Anyway, he doesn't need this thing.
Having made up his mind, Wu Yi told everyone to wait where they were, while he jumped off the back of the giant dragon and headed straight for the back of Qingquan Mountain.
After searching for a while, Wu Yi successfully crossed the waterfall, which was now contaminated with mud, and entered the Ice Cave.
Separated by a waterfall, the inside and outside of the cave seem like two different worlds.
Inside the cave, all you could see were blocks of extremely cold ice; you'd think you'd stumbled upon the snowy wilderness of the Northern Sea.
However, the water dragon cannon is easy to find; it's located in the ice not far from the entrance of the cave.
There's even a sign specifically indicating this.
However, Wu Yi, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the water dragon cannon under the ice layer was actually fake.
This is why many people know that there are treasures in Qingquan Mountain, but they have never been able to obtain them successfully.
No matter how hard you dig, you can't dig out the water dragon cannon from the ice on the ground, because it's just a projection.
The real water dragon cannon is inside the ice wall above the ice cave.
Ordinary people can't even reach that level, let alone find it.
However, this was not a problem for Wu Yi.
He gathered his energy and lightened his body, using his internal strength to leap into the air, easily jumping several meters high.
During his descent, he also successfully discovered the water dragon cannon hidden inside the ice wall.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Yi drew his Dragon Soaring Sword and swiftly slashed out!
A sharp sword aura cleaved through the ice wall, breaking it open.
The water cannon hidden inside also fell down along with the shattered ice.
Wu Yi stepped onto the ice wall, raised his body, grabbed the water dragon cannon, and quickly left.
……
After passing through the mud waterfall once again, Wu Yi returned to Qingquan Mountain.
He casually weighed the water dragon cannon in his hand and examined it closely.
This thing is well-made and made of high-quality materials. Compared to ordinary weapons, it is indeed a treasure.
But for him, it was far inferior to Jingxie and Tianjing Beast in both power and feel.
It is a pity that it is tasteless.
Back in the group, Wu Yi's gaze fell on Nangong Wentian.
The boy was standing not far away, looking at the devastated Qingquan Mountain, his face full of anger and heartache.
"Ask the Heavens," Wu Yi said.
Nangong Wentian turned his head.
Wu Yi handed over the water cannon.
"for you."
Nangong Wentian was stunned.
He gazed at the uniquely shaped water dragon cannon in Wu Yi's hand. The patterns on the cannon body gleamed faintly in the sunlight, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.
"Father... what is this?"
"This is a treasure hidden on Qingquan Mountain," Wu Yi said calmly. "It's just gathering dust here, so I might as well give it to you."
Nangong Wentian took the Water Dragon Cannon with both hands. Its heavy weight made his arms feel slightly heavy. He gently stroked the water ripples on the cannon, took a deep breath, and raised his head.
"Dad, I will use it well!"
"We will not let you down!"
Wu Yi patted Nangong Wentian on the shoulder without saying anything more.
He leaped onto the giant dragon's back, and everyone got up when they saw Wu Yi return. The group quickly set off again.
