Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Divine Machine Gun_1
"Chancellor Vermilion Bird visiting my Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts is a rare sight."
At this moment, Wan Lianji saw Zhu Fengfeng, who had accompanied Princess Chenxi to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, approaching, he said with unfriendly words.
"Every time the Imperial Dynasty goes hunting, your Four Camps of Ferocious Beasts acquire many bodies, reaping all the benefits, while my Vermilion Bird Camp cannot take part in the feast. This time, apart from escorting Princess Chenxi, I have also brought my troops to train within the mountain."
Zhu Fengfeng's voice was cold.
The Four Camps of Divine Beasts and the Four Camps of Ferocious Beasts were always in conflict.
Although the Four Camps of Ferocious Beasts guard the most dangerous Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, they receive many benefits, their soldiers are honed to be fierce with increased fighting abilities.
"If the Chancellor Vermilion Bird wants his troops to train, this is a good thing, my Dawu needs such soldiers."
Chu Yuan spoke softly: "Let the eight camps send troops to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts each month, better yet, hold a military contest, set up a system. The rules set by Duke of Loyalty and Valor are not bad, and should be explained to both the Chancellors."
"In my command, all levels of military officers adopt the method of eliminating the weakest. Each month, soldiers can challenge higher-ranked officers. The winner takes the place, the loser is demoted, and resources distribution declines. If someone is stronger than me, they can challenge me."
Lu Qianfu immediately understood.
"The weak are prey to the strong, the powerful command respect. We can't let some always have the advantage, this way we encourage soldiers' ambition to rise, maintain their vitality. This move can also demote some persons of no consequence."
Chu Yuan said: "A soldier who does not aim to become a general, is not a good soldier."
"Formidable!"
Hearing Chu Yuan's words, the two chancellors didn't show much shifting of expressions, but Shangguan Qingyun's face altered.
This was to forcibly uproot his influence in the army. If Chu Yuan purged directly, he would still have been willing, igniting a mutiny, directly overthrowing this emperor. But in the face of such means, he was helpless.
He had experienced the nettle-like methods of this little emperor, his cunning exceeded that of the prior emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's time." Eunuch Wei prompted.
Chu Yuan nodded.
Seeing this, Wan Lianji raised his hand, and ten thousand advancing soldiers filed out immediately. They pushed out a thousand black iron cannons with a muzzle width of several meters, the muzzle was so deep that it seemed it could destroy everything.
"Divine Cannon!"
Chu Yuan looked at these thousand cannons, contemplating.
This was the Divine Cannon manufactured by Dawu using the ancient blueprint they found. Its power was great, one cannon could cover hundreds of meters. Even those in the Pulse Realm would struggle under it, an unexcelled treasure on the battlefield.
This cannon was even more terrifying than what he had seen back on Earth!
"Fire!"
Wan Lianji ordered.
The Qiungii Camp was proficient in firing cannons.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A thousand Divine Cannons all fired in unison. Instead of regular shells, the cannons shot out beams of intense light into the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The earth was shattering, like a quake, many mountains collapsed, numerous large pits were blown apart.
Immediately, countless beasts within the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts roared. The herds were all alarmed, scattering to escape.
The sound of these thousand cannons officially announced the start of the hunt.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn to shoot the first arrow." Eunuch Wei said.
"Bring my bow and arrow."
Chu Yuan extended his hand, and a large bow weighing over a thousand pounds was handed over.
This bow wasn't made of iron, it looked more like a bone, a spine of a ferocious beast.
Correct, this was the God Arm Bow, it was made by the previous emperor who ventured deep into the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts and slain a Ten-Realm Flood Dragon, using its spine and tendons. Its power was so great that an ordinary Divine Realm fighter couldn't even pull it.
"His Majesty is using the God Arm Bow!"
Many present gasped, their gazes filled with disbelief.
"This is the Imperial Family's Divine Arm Bow, a heavenly top-tier artifact!"
Wei Shen's eyes flashed as he immediately said, "Each time there is a hunt, the late emperor would always kill a monster with Divine Abilities as a prelude. Then, the hunted monster would be granted as a token of honor to the first victor. It is an honor—the higher the hunted monster's realm, the greater the honor. I wonder what kind of monster His Majesty is prepared to hunt this time?"
"Wei Shen, how dare you!"
Huang Yong furiously reprimanded.
Of course, he understood what Wei Shen was insinuating. He wanted to push Chu Yuan to hunt a monster with Divine Abilities. However, the late emperor's cultivation and Chu Yuan's cultivation were worlds apart. If Wei Shen hadn't brought it up, it would've been fine.
But now that he mentioned it, wouldn't Chu Yuan lose face if he hunted an ordinary monster?
[Option 1: Hunt a monster with Divine Abilities as a token of victory. Earn one hundred Destiny Points and forge a Level One Divine Cannon with a 20% completion blueprint.]
[Option 2: Casually kill any monster. Earn one hundred Destiny Points and a Level One Armored Flying Boat with a 20% completion blueprint.]
Upon seeing the choices presented before him, a hint of amusement flickered across Chu Yuan's face.
He hadn't seen what an Armored Flying Boat was, but it reminded him of the spaceships from his previous world. Furthermore, the term "Armored" suggested that it had formidable defenses and it could fly in the sky, serving as a war fortress.
However, Chu Yuan was more interested in the Divine Cannon.
Not long ago, he witnessed the Divine Cannon's attack, a simultaneous attack of thousands of missiles which ended with several monsters startled. If an ammunition capable of landing on the same spot was created, then even a master in the Divine Realm would be reduced to ashes.
Moreover, Dawu's model was just an imitation and was tenfold weaker than the genuine Divine Cannon.
If he could craft the true ancient Divine Cannon and conduct simultaneous firings, even the most elusive of prey would be brought to its knees.
"Wei Shen, you make a valid point."
With those words, Chu Yuan held the Divine Bow, which suddenly trembled and flew from the ground into the sky, then flew deep into the forest full of beasts.
His eyes transformed into the devouring eyes, devouring all the light. The simultaneous firing of cannons had startled numerous monsters.
"Emperor Dawu!"
Suddenly, from within the beast-filled forest, a beam of cold light shot out. A giant golden bird with a wingspan of over thirty feet was seen. It could speak human language as if it had gained human reasoning. It flapped its wings and approached them.
The Golden Feathered Hunting Falcon!
"This is bad! It's a monster with Divine Abilities. Protect His Majesty!"
Wan Lianji urgently ordered, the monster's strength had reached the third realm and its speed was extremely fast. If Chu Yuan met with an accident, even a hundred deaths of him as the head of the Imperial Guard would not absolve him from the crime.
"Too late!"
This Golden Feathered Hunting Falcon was aware that Dawu was hosting a hunt, hence it had been hiding. When they saw the new ruler of Dawu separated from the group, they knew their time has come and immediately sprang into motion. Numerous golden feathers shot out like sharp arrows.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing the approaching falcon, Chu Yuan lifted his Divine Bow and shot an arrow hallmarked with radiance.
"Foolish."
The Golden Feathered Hunting Falcon retorted.
It had figured that Chu Yuan hadn't reached the Divine Realm. The arrow shot by him who bore such strength could never prove fatal to it.
However, in the next moment, Chu Yuan's eyes tensed, as though sucking out all air. To the falcon's shock, it was frozen mid-air and could only watch helplessly as the pitch-black arrow pierced its head, and went through it.
The Golden Feathered Hunting Falcon was dead!
Killed in a single shot!
"Host has completed Option One. Earned one hundred Destiny Points and a Level One Divine Cannon blueprint with 20% completion!"
The gratifying voice of the System was heard.
What do you think?
