Chapter 1677: Chapter 903: War Chariot
The unbelievably bright array exudes a proud aura, its flowing radiance so intense that it seems to make people squint, yet the black-cloaked figure is completely unaffected, continuing with his actions.
Moments later, a large number of components were methodically assembled as if being meticulously organized, and they began to self-assemble within the array, the pieces constantly flowing, merging the variously sized parts together.
In a brief moment, a towering and formidable catapult appeared on the open ground.
Luo Tuo, Lin Feng, and the two women were utterly astonished, feeling as though they were witnessing a myth.
Though everyone practiced cultivation, it was the first time seeing such a powerful and enormous magic artifact. Yes, this was no ordinary catapult, but a magic artifact.
A regular catapult could not harness the power of the Natural Heaven Stone Fire. Only a well-tempered magic artifact could achieve such an effect.
"Divine Artifact!"
Lin Feng immediately recognized the grade of the chariot. For those in cultivation sects, identifying the status of treasures was a basic required skill. However, ordinary people might not pay much attention to the grade of equipment.
For instance, the two girls in front, and Luo Tuo, knew only that this kind of magic artifact was formidable, not bothering to classify it into detailed grades in their minds.
Thus, when they saw the chariot, they were only struck by its appearance, overlooking the latent power grade it contained.
"No wonder it was able to destroy the granary in the tribe with a single blow."
Lin Feng thought to himself.
At this moment, Hua Shengmi also sensed the fluctuations of the divine artifact, naturally awakening into a state of battle readiness.
Hua Shengmi asked Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, what’s happening? I feel there is a divine artifact fluctuating nearby, and the energy is strong."
Lin Feng pointed ahead, letting Hua Shengmi feel. Only then did Hua Shengmi notice the chariot there.
"I can’t believe, at this time, there are still magic artifacts of divine artifact grade in the form of chariots."
"The world is vast, full of wonders. The existence of such things isn’t so surprising. I’m curious about how these black-cloaked people obtained such treasures. A treasure like this used in a war would cause devastating damage."
Before everyone could recover from their shock, the black-cloaked Venerable began to give orders.
He said to Luo Tuo, who was disguised as the captain of the black-cloaked people, "Hurry! Get them moving."
Luo Tuo quickly snapped out of his earlier panic, drawing his sword as if to strike, but Tang Tang held his arm back, looking at Luo Tuo as if silently saying:
"Not yet."
Only then did Luo Tuo calm himself, walking towards Lin Feng and the others. Meanwhile, Tang Tang kept talking with the black-cloaked people, though it was unclear what they were discussing.
Lin Feng, Su Liqian, and Tian Xun saw Luo Tuo approaching and went up to inquire:
"What did he ask you to do?"
At this critical moment, it was Tian Xun who spoke first, hitting the point with his question to Luo Tuo.
"The black-cloaked Venerable wants us to load the Natural Heaven Stone Fire onto the catapult."
Su Liqian anxiously said, "You were right beside him earlier, why didn’t you take him down?"
Luo Tuo quickly answered, "I wanted to cut down that guy, but Tang Tang stopped me."
"Impossible! That black-cloaked Venerable is the same person we encountered in the desert last time. His strength is extraordinary; we must not underestimate him."
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Su Liqian realized it was him, replying sheepishly, "So it was him."
She knew that her earlier words were indeed reckless. But now was not the time to dwell on this, so Su Liqian immediately shifted her focus to ask Lin Feng:
"What should we do now?"
With Su Liqian’s question, Tian Xun and Luo Tuo also looked at Lin Feng.
Seeing everyone’s eyes on him, Lin Feng no longer kept them in suspense, revealing his plan about tampering with the Fire Stone.
After hearing Lin Feng’s plan, Luo Tuo was beaming with joy, but because of the black cloth covering his face, no one noticed it.
He thought about all the frustration he’d been holding in, finally having a chance to vent it.
Without further ado, the group energetically pushed a cart loaded with the "Natural Heaven Stone Fire," like transporting a super missile, towards the steel chariot summoned with the strength of ten people by the war chariot team. At this moment, the entire chariot radiated a grand luster, the divine brilliance fully displayed before everyone’s eyes.
The cart creaked as its wheels turned on the ground. Lin Feng and the other three resolutely pushed this chariot loaded with the "Natural Heaven Stone Fire" towards the chariot surrounded by ten black-cloaked figures.
"We’re almost there. Once the chariot is loaded, quickly leave here."
Lin Feng lowered his voice to remind Tian Xun, Su Liqian, and Luo Tuo.
The three nodded, Luo Tuo said, "With the Fire Stone’s power so strong, are you sure we can escape when it explodes later?"
Lin Feng had already anticipated this, so he reduced the Fire Stone’s power by half.
"Don’t worry, as long as the Fire Stone’s internal energy isn’t fully activated, it won’t cause much damage to the surroundings. If necessary, just jump into the lake and I’m sure we’ll get away."
