Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 19 The Kiran Clan

Along the way, Shang Yun and Nan Wu exchanged cultivation insights and combat techniques on the roof of the car. When they rested, Lan Fang would also join them in the exchange.

During their journey, they encountered a group of people blocking their way. These were bandits and robbers who had been dealt with by Lanfang. There were over a hundred of them. Upon inquiry, they learned that they were bandits and robbers who had been robbed by Lanfang. They had found out Lanfang's route and gathered together to seek revenge.

Lanfang naturally didn't need to intervene with these people; Shangyun and Nanwu dealt with them, only to find that Lanfang had robbed them again.

Upon entering the desert, the car could no longer pass, so the three of them got out and walked. Lanfang was still wearing a tight-fitting sun-protective suit.

Nanwu was anxious to deliver water to the village, so he rushed with Shangyun and Lanfang. The three of them ran for a day and a night and finally arrived at Nanwu's village at noon on the second day. The villagers were all hiding in their houses to avoid the sun. When they saw Nanwu return, they all ran out to greet him. Nanwu found an open space, opened the water tank universal capsule, and threw it into the open space. With a bang, a huge water tank appeared. The villagers were very shocked to see such a magical scene. After hearing Nanwu's explanation, they all began to line up to collect water.

Seeing that the villagers had water to drink, Nanwu finally smiled despite his exhaustion.

"Master Namo, has the village never had water?" Lanfang asked curiously, looking at the villagers who looked satisfied after drinking the water.

"No, it's because the water flow in the river near the village suddenly decreased a few years ago, and then there was no water flow at all. Now the river has long been dry, and even when it rains, there is no water in the river," Nanwu recalled.

"Could it be that there's a problem upstream? Have you gone upstream to check what the cause might be?" Lanfang asked.

“I have been there, but because there was no water source, I could only walk for a day before having to return to the village, so I have never been able to find out the reason,” Nanwu said helplessly.

"Then let's go upstream together tomorrow and have a look. Get a good rest tonight," Shang Yun said.

The two agreed, and that evening the villagers prepared dinner for the three of them. Although it wasn't very lavish, it was delicious, and Lanfang also took out some tasty snacks to share with the children.

After the meal, Lanfang went to rest at an old woman's house, while Shangyun went to rest at Nanwu's house.

The next morning, the three set off, heading upstream along the river. With supplies from Lanfang along the way, the journey wasn't too difficult.

After walking for three days, they finally reached the upper reaches of the river. They found that the upper reaches of the river were blocked by rocks, forming a lake. They could faintly hear sounds of fighting coming from the lake. Nanwu was anxious to find out what was going on, so he quickly jumped onto the rocks. Shangyun and Lanfang heard a quarrel below and also quickly jumped up. They saw a group of fat dragons bathing in the lake. Nanwu was kneeling and begging them to let him have some water. It seemed that he had already fought them but had not been able to defeat the group of fat dragons.

Shang Yun knew that these fat dragons were the Kiraen tribe, a group of pterosaurs with light green skin, robust bodies, large heads, and large eyes. Their leader was Kiraen, the fat pterosaur who was defeated by Sun Wukong in the World Martial Arts Tournament and could spit out magical chewing gum.

Kirang appeared soon after, and after a brief negotiation, Kirang disagreed.

"You three think you can make us give up our water source? I may not be able to beat Sun Wukong, but I can beat you all, right?" Kilang said disdainfully.

"Then we'll have to fight." Shang Yun gestured for Lan Fang and Nan Wu to step back and assume fighting stances.

"Hmph!" Kirang remained disdainful and launched the first attack.

Kilang, being tall and large, used his strength and size advantage to launch a fierce attack, attempting to suppress Shang Yun with his superior power. Although Shang Yun's speed was not as fast as Sun Wukong's, it was still much faster than Kilang's. He used his agile movements to dodge Kilang's attacks, constantly moving quickly to find an opportunity to counterattack.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Shang Yun for a long time, Ji Lang used a peculiar move similar to the "Sky Cross Fist". This move was quite powerful and could form a cross-shaped energy attack in the air, which quickly attacked Shang Yun. Shang Yun was initially surprised by this sudden attack. It seemed that this was a move unique to the desert. Soon, Shang Yun successfully dodged it by relying on his understanding of Namo's "Sky Cross Fist".

After gradually becoming familiar with Ji Lang's attack rhythm and style, Shang Yun began to counterattack. Utilizing his speed advantage, he quickly closed the distance to Ji Lang, launching attacks with agile punches and kicks. Shang Yun's attacks were extremely fast, leaving Ji Lang somewhat overwhelmed, and Ji Lang's defenses gradually began to falter.

After being thrown into disarray by Shang Yun's counterattack, Ji Lang attempted to launch another powerful attack to turn the tide, but Shang Yun had already completely seized the initiative. Shang Yun seized an opening in Ji Lang's defenses and landed a powerful punch to his abdomen. The force of the blow instantly incapacitated Ji Lang, leaving him swaying. Shang Yun pressed his advantage, unleashing a series of rapid attacks that completely defeated Ji Lang.

"Why do your moves look so much like that kid with the long tail?" Kirang sat on the ground, using his tail to support his weak body.

"You mean Sun Wukong? We are both disciples of Master Wutian." Shang Yun was also panting heavily.

"What?! Master Roshi! You're Master Roshi's disciples! You should have said so earlier! We would have given you the water source." Kirou trembled with fear upon hearing Master Roshi's name.

Seeing Kilong's state, Shang Yun also regretted it a bit. He should have just brought out Master Roshi directly. Why did they have to fight this battle? He was worried about being surrounded by this group of fat dragons.

"Then let's open this stone wall and let the water flow down." Shang Yun had already recovered by now; the Heart Sutra's recovery speed was quite fast.

“That won’t do. These stone walls are formed using our Kiraen tribe’s special ability, ‘spinning gum.’ They’re like rubber, strong yet resilient, and very difficult to break. At least, we can’t break them,” Kiraen said with a shrug and a chuckle.

"Oh, what should we do then?" Nanwu said with a wry smile.

"Could we try to make a small opening so that the water can flow down? Even if the flow is small, at least there will be some water," Lanfang suggested.

"No, this rubber has magic; it can gradually repair itself from damage." Kilang curled his lip, squinted at Lanfang, and said smugly.

"You!" Seeing Ji Lang's contemptuous look, Lan Fang wanted to go up and punch him, but Shang Yun stopped her.

"It's no use. If you only make a small opening, the rubber won't repair itself, so it's useless. This is a desert, and the water flow is too small to reach the village. The water will seep into the ground before it travels very far," Shang Yun explained.

"Ah! What should I do?" Namo sat on the ground, holding his head in his hands, looking extremely distressed.
