I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1955 - 1329: A Bold Idea (Part 2)

Once the news gets out, who knows how many will be on their knees begging Xiyun.

Even many Divine Craftsmen will flock here.

"I’m watching with my eyes open," Hu Fu said impatiently with a wave of his hand. "No one dares to provoke Xiyun anymore. Hopefully, this is a good thing for people here."

To create an Earth Fire well without much effort is something no one else on the continent can do. As for the Heavenly Person warships, Hu Fu had the fortune of seeing a few.

However, those Heavenly Person warships were in a damaged state. To repair them, they specifically drew the Earth Fire in remote areas and quenched materials for restoration.

Once the warships were repaired, those remote places became barren lands. Even after the Heavenly Person’s treatment, it was still a scorched earth, with only remnants of Earth Fire left.

But if the Heavenly Person didn’t treat it, the drawn Earth Fire would gradually spiral out of control, causing a greater disaster before stabilizing.

Hu Fu was young at that time, but the impression was profound. He could confirm that dealing with Earth Fire was not easy for those Heavenly Persons.

They did it with certain tools, but Xiyun managed it with just his own abilities.

For the people of this tribe, knowing that Xiyun is truly ’undefeatable’, would they become arrogant?

Excessive arrogance can easily invite destruction. They might become ’strong’ together because of Xiyun’s prowess, but if Xiyun is no longer there, such strength would dissipate instantly.

"Xiyun, sir..." Hu Dongmen didn’t continue and instead changed the topic: "Vice Dean, shall I ask Xiyun sir if we can borrow the Earth Fire well?"

"You’re going? I’ll go!"

Hu Fu pushed his grandson aside and took the initiative to find Xiyun.

"For the Earth Fire well? You guys handle it yourselves. Anyways, my tribesmen can’t manage it well," Xiyun said casually, gesturing generously as Hu Fu arrived.

Hu Fu was slightly taken aback and immediately realized that their previous conversation had been overheard by Xiyun.

"Thank you, Xiyun, for your generosity," Hu Fu said after expressing gratitude and then left there directly to find the blacksmith, proposing quite generous conditions.

For instance, the construction of the Earth Fire Furnace would be fully assisted by the academy, providing better technology, and after that, the Earth Fire Furnace’s ownership would still belong here. The academy’s use would only be considered as borrowing.

"Uh, ah... I’m not quite clear about this matter, maybe you should find our Clan Leader?" the blacksmith scratched his head, having been struck by lightning today while out with Xiyun, though his mind remained normal.

Knowing well who should handle matters beyond his capacity.

Hu Fu nodded with a smile, "That’s better."

Finding the blacksmith came after Xiyun and the blacksmith returned and then opened the Earth Fire well. Hu Fu, old and wise, initially thought Xiyun must have promised the blacksmith something, or the blacksmith helped Xiyun in some way.

This Earth Fire well was opened at the village center, but more for the blacksmith as if Xiyun specially arranged it for him.

So he specifically came to find the blacksmith first, should the blacksmith request anything, he would agree, then go to Xiyun.

A blacksmith is alive, subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, whereas the Earth Fire well, as long as it’s not destroyed, can exist indefinitely.

However, the blacksmith didn’t take command, nor did the presence of the Earth Fire well change him. Assigning the task to the tribe’s Clan Leader made it collective property for the tribe.

Hence, for the development and construction of the Earth Fire well, let’s take normal approaches.

"Then you go ahead, I still have an embryo to process, it won’t take long."

Hu Fu glanced at the embryo in the furnace, which appeared to be intended for crafting a ’model’, evidently the blacksmith was preparing for the upcoming Earth Fire Furnace.

Though the technology in this place couldn’t compare to the academy, once they make contact with the academy’s technology, this embryo crafted by the blacksmith would become scrap iron.

Hu Fu left as the blacksmith muttered softly, handling the unfinished embryo casually, washed his hands, and left his smithy.

The Earth Fire well, Xiyun said, was for him but he didn’t plan to monopolize it... He’s not foolish, he couldn’t guard such a thing.

Moreover, people here are all family, why monopolize it? The Earth Fire well is strong, anyone can use it, and as the village’s few blacksmiths, he could freely use it. Whether it’s his or the tribe’s is the same.

Even if outsiders come here, can they be like our people?

Whose Earth Fire well is it?

Xiyun is still here, then it’s Xiyun’s!

Regarding the Earth Fire well, Xiyun wasn’t bothered. He looked at the long spear in his hand in his home, paying more attention to its gun head and the predecessor’s roar.

Before they left, the roar that Xiyun heard contained fury stronger than the angry curses from past years.

Previously those curses were just madness and anger, while this roar added a strong resentment.

What exactly made the predecessor change so?

Is it because... this weapon? Xiyun gazed at the gun head of the long spear, suddenly feeling an urge to go to Tianhe.

From the records in those personal terminals, Xiyun confirmed the predecessor wasn’t a being of this planet, but a ’Heavenly Person’, is that really so?

Moreover, today he carried the remnants of the Tianhe and Heavenly Person war, went to the Thunderstorm Land, after which the predecessor seemed more frantic.

Directly saying it’s his fault might sound implausible, yet he indeed went to the Thunderstorm Land.

Placing the long spear aside, Xiyun yawned faintly, deciding not to dwell on the matter and sleep first.

Crafting the spear shaft and opening the Earth Fire well both consume energy, the spear shaft is difficult to forge, and need not mention the Earth Fire well.

When he opened it, he needed to ensure the Earth Fire well’s strength; otherwise, the Earth Fire wouldn’t release steadily but erupt like a volcanic explosion.

Xiyun had a strong curiosity toward Tianhe, but he hasn’t forgotten the predecessor’s caution, so he wouldn’t travel far due to this intense curiosity.

"Who’s there——" Asleep, Xiyun vaguely sensed something, abruptly opening his eyes, in the dark of night, he saw a faint dusk color, perhaps left by the eyes.

That dusk color disappeared near his weapon.

Xiyun spread his clenched fist, already soaked with sweat; he’d never been this tense!

Unable to sleep, Xiyun stood, approaching the long spear, despite fully relaxing his perception, he still couldn’t find anything from where the dusk color appeared.

He was convinced he’d definitely not had an hallucination.

Pulling out the long spear embedded in the ground, Xiyun walked out.

Deep night, Tianhe remained in a state of ’change’; the war fires near Tianhe intensified further, exacerbating the internal conflict.

In the sky, Xiyun saw many ’black dots’ joining the battlefield through spatial distortion.

Tianhe fighting on two fronts, what situation is it in?

Gripping the long spear in his hand, Xiyun’s feet left the ground, rising into the high sky, looking toward the Thunderstorm Land, where its surging lightning was even more turbulent than during the day.

An extremely dangerous presence seemed eager to break through the thunderstorm to leave, yet the turbulent Thunderstorm Land gave him a contradictory feeling of stability.

Xiyun suddenly realized the Thunderstorm Land might not have been created by the predecessor but rather a place to confine the predecessor?

What if the Thunderstorm Land was undone?

With this bold idea in mind, Xiyun snapped back to reality.

Again drenched in sweat, Xiyun shook his head, glancing at the long spear in his hand, then smiled slightly, somewhat helpless.

He only felt he was overthinking now; weapons forged leveraging the thunderstorm, he couldn’t do anything to the Thunderstorm Land, could he?
