A rare opportunity

Chapter 627: Mu Chengqi's Thoughts

Li Yu had always been by Mu Chengqi's side, knowing the effort he had put into this cannon! He knew that no matter how much comfort he gave, it would be pale! Only by finding the cause of the failure could he really cheer up! He shouted at Mao Xiazong:

"What's going on? Why isn't it ringing?"

Mao Xiazong couldn't help but reveal a bitter face! He thought: How the hell should I know?

"If you don't know, who would know? You drew the blueprint, and you chose the materials. Now it doesn't work. If it's not your fault, then whose fault is it? I think you did it on purpose!"

When the cannon didn't fire, the first thing Li Yu thought of was that the Mao Xia Sect was causing trouble, and he became extremely angry!

"My dear little ancestor! You can take this medicine carelessly, but you can't say anything careless! What good will it do me if you say I did it on purpose?"

Mao Xia Zong was so anxious that he even called out "ancestors"!

"Then why doesn't it make any sound? Why doesn't it make any sound? Tell me! Tell me!"

Seeing Li Yu staring at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive, Mao Xia Zong was so frightened that his whole body trembled! He hurriedly shouted:

"Don't be impatient! Can you please be impatient? Let me think about it! Let me think about it!"

"Well! You'd better come up with a solution! Otherwise, I think your life will come to an end!"

Mao Xiazong really wanted to cry but had no tears! Thinking that he, a clone of the God Realm, had fallen to such a state, he could not help but sigh! Feelings are feelings, but you still have to think about it. Not for anything else, just to survive! If he really can't think of a way, maybe Li Yu will really take his life!

But his mind was always filled with unthinkable consequences, and he couldn't concentrate on thinking about why the cannon didn't fire. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and sweated profusely!

"Humph! I think you should stop wasting time pretending! I don't have the time to waste with you!"

Mao Xia Zong suddenly felt that the space he was in was shrinking rapidly! Knowing that Li Yu was serious, he cried out in a crying voice:

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

As the saying goes, a quick mind comes to life! In this split second, the entire process of Mu Chengqi refining the cannon quickly spun in his mind! Suddenly, his eyes lit up! But he found that he had almost no room to move! He hurriedly shouted:

"I remember! I remember! Stop now! Stop now!"

In fact, Li Yu didn't really want to kill him, after all, the search for the Spirit Tree still depended on him. He just wanted to force Mao Xiazong to tell him the problem with the cannon!

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the cannon, he just suspected that Mao Xia Zong had deliberately kept something back. He wanted to use it to blackmail him into agreeing to one of his conditions. This was something he couldn't tolerate! If Mao Xia Zong had told him clearly what he wanted, he might not have agreed. But, he would never be so angry!

Hearing that Mao Xia Zong was willing to point out the problem with the cannon, they immediately stopped suppressing Mao Xia Zong!

Mao Xiazong couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief! Although he pleaded pitifully to Li Yu:

"Could you...could you relax a little?"

Seeing that Li Yu was just looking at him coldly, he knew that if he didn't tell her, Li Yu would never relax his pressure on him. He hurriedly said:

"Spirit crystal! That kid forgot to pack the spirit crystal!"

"Spirit crystals? What kind of spirit crystals? Why do we need to put spirit crystals?"

"You...you don't all know that this cannon needs spirit crystals to drive it, right? This... Ugh! Isn't there a secret compartment left at the back of the cannon? That's where the spirit crystals and spirit stones are placed! The rope leading out from there is to quickly transform the spirit crystals and spirit stones in the secret compartment into spiritual energy, so as to launch the cannonball! If he doesn't put in the spirit stones, it will be useless even if he breaks the rope!"

"Is this true?"

"You...it's already this late, do you think I have any need to lie to you?"

What he didn't say was: Do I dare to lie to you?

Li Yu believed it about 80% after hearing it. Of course, he had to believe it now!

At this moment, Mu Chengqi looked depressed, his eyes were dull, and he kept muttering:

"What went wrong? What went wrong?..."

Li Yu walked to Mu Chengqi's side, secretly took out a few spirit crystals and stuffed them into Mu Chengqi's hands, whispering:

"Senior! Maybe you forgot to add the spirit crystal! This cannon may need spirit crystal to drive it! That secret compartment is for refining spirit crystal!"

Li Yu's words were like a revelation! He slapped his head! He had never understood what the secret compartment on the base of the cannon was used for.

As a master of refining, he certainly knew that the cannon needed a driving force. But the blueprint didn't say it, and he didn't think much about it. Just because the mechanism driven by the rope could fire the cannonball! After all, this was his first time refining a cannon! He had no experience and relied entirely on the blueprint!

He immediately put the two spirit crystals into the secret compartment and nervously pulled the rope again! But this time, his arms kept shaking and he didn't listen to him at all! He wanted to calm down, but he couldn't do it anyway! He could only whisper to Li Yu:

"It's up to you to do it!"

Li Yu saw that Mu Chengqi's arms were shaking nervously, so he immediately took the rope from Mu Chengqi and said loudly:

"Thank you, senior, for helping me!"

The disappointed crowd couldn't help but rekindle their hope after hearing Li Yu's voice! They immediately looked up at the cannon again!

The launch failed, and they were also very frustrated! Especially Zhou Fulin wanted to mock Mu Chengqi! However, seeing Mu Chengqi's lost soul, he couldn't bear it after all. He just shook his head and sighed! In order not to disturb Mu Chengqi to find the reason for the failure, he also touched Mu Chengqi's bad luck. Everyone stood in place and talked in a low voice.

Before grabbing the rope, Li Yu was also nervous. But he couldn't understand why Mu Chengqi was shaking so much that he couldn't pull the rope. When he pulled the rope, he found that his hands were also shaking! At this time, he finally understood Mu Chengqi's feelings! Because they didn't have the courage to face another failure!

However, everyone was looking at him eagerly! Expecting the cannon to fire the cannonball! The arrow was on the string and had to be fired! Even if he failed, he had to face it! Li Yu immediately made up his mind! He took a deep breath! He tried to stabilize his mentality and his arms! Then he closed his eyes, prayed in his heart, and pulled hard!

But there was a loud bang! The ground shook! Then a burst of excited shouts reached his ears! He suddenly opened his eyes and found that the mountain ten miles away was covered with smoke and dust! Obviously, the test gun had been successful!

However, at this moment, Li Yu felt his head was empty and his whole body was weak! He was swaying and unstable! At this moment, he felt someone holding his arm! Turning his head, he found that Mu Chengqi was holding his arm with tears in his eyes, which prevented him from falling!

The entire Lingshan Mountain was in an uproar! Whether it was the monks from Blue Jade Star or the monks from Golden Broom Star, they were all dancing and cheering! Shouting!

Kuai Yiwen and others quickly ran to Li Yu and Mu Chengqi, talking to them excitedly. However, Li Yu didn't hear a word, just smiled foolishly and nodded at them!

This cannon test was quite successful! The cannon's range and power far exceeded their expectations! This gave Kuai Yiwen a boost of confidence! As long as there were enough of these cannons, the Taotie gang would never be able to break into Lingshan!

Just when Li Yu felt physically and mentally exhausted, he heard Mao Xia Zong wailing:

"My dear little ancestor! Your cannon has been successfully tested, so it's time to let me go!"

Li Yu looked at Mao Xia Zong, who was like a piece of thin paper, and couldn't help but feel a little funny! But he said with a gloomy face:

"Let you go? You deliberately concealed the matter of the spirit crystal, causing us to almost fail, and you still want me to let you go? Are you overthinking it? I decided to trap you for a day as a punishment! If you dare to conceal anything in the future, you will be severely punished!"

"It's unfair! It's unfair! I really didn't mean it! I really didn't mean it!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xia Zong couldn't help but wail loudly!

"Huh? Do you really dare to say that you didn't mean it?"

Li Yu stared at Mao Xiazong, and Mao Xiazong couldn't help but feel guilty, and his eyes were dodging!

"Just stay here! If you keep talking too much, it won't be a whole day!"

After hearing what Li Yu said, Mao Xiazong swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth!
