Journey In A Fantasy World
Giant Cannon

The POV Jian

At that time we didn't realize what was going on up ahead. But Dixia Academy seemed to know and saw that we were across this vast lake, and fired something that caused a huge explosion that made the lake churn madly. It was fortunate that Piu Piu protected us with a large semi-circular shield. Out of nowhere he learned it, I whose master had not even been able to make a shield as perfect as he made it.

"We can't just stay here!" Neo exclaimed, looking ahead seriously. The shots appeared continuously, creating a huge wave in the middle of the lake, as if there was a heavy rain in the place where we were standing.

Neo makes a similar shield, lining the almost cracked and destroyed shield of Piu Piu. I thought hard, the water came strong once, if we move now, we might be dragged by the waves before we could dodge.

My solution in the meantime, is just to hold on until the shot is over and the lake water calms down again, moving now is too risky.

But Neo's right, we can't last much longer. That shield, sooner or later will be destroyed as well, and we in it, will also drown if we just stay still.

"All right, let's get out!" I decided seriously.

Rui looked at me in disbelief with her anxious and frightened face. Looking at his face, I understand, I was also very afraid just in case we could not immediately fly high after this shield was destroyed.

"Don't worry, Rui. We'll be fine," I smiled, hopefully my words will calm Rui down, "Take out your magic wand, and fly away before the waves come back, okay? I'm gonna use magic to pull us up fast."

"Your wand doesn't matter anymore, does it, Rui?" Neo asked jahil. I directly hit his head, he could have insulted Rui in this critical state.

"One!" I began to count, the shield above us began to crack, and the water in front of him was still turbulent high.

"Two!" the cracks are getting longer and creeping quickly, we can't be sure when this shield is completely destroyed.

"Three!"

Blars!

The shield was destroyed along with the next shot, I pointed Jilly up, we were instantly drawn up as if a giant hand was pulling us from up there.

Thankfully, other than a pale face and trembling body, we were all fine.

"Dian! Piu Piu is left behind!" Rui exclaimed while pointing down.

Holy hooch! I forgot my own magical entity! Piu Piu, he is now being swayed by the big waves. Somehow I could just leave it down there. I feel like I've taken her with us, why would she be left behind?

I saw clearly that Piu Piu was starting to struggle with the high choppy water. She is just a cat, and cats usually don't really like water, what if she—

"Don't worry, Jian. You don't remember, he just dived and caught a lot of fish? I'm sure a wave like that won't make him die. We can find him after the shot's gone." Neo calmed me down, and I really immediately felt calm.

Somehow, Neo, though sometimes annoying, always knows how to calm an anxious person.

"But the gunshots don't stop, and I think the explosions get bigger and bigger" and Rui can always make people more anxious.

"You're right, Rui." I looked down, there seemed to be no hope of saving Piu Piu.

"Meow!"

My face immediately glowed, it turned out that Neo was right. Piu Piu is no ordinary cat. He was a spiritual beast that had its own power. Just like the Agg leopard.

I immediately grabbed him who jumped out of the water, "You know, I'm worried about you!"

Piu Piu did not respond to my worries, his hand carried a raw fish, he was happy to be in my sling while eating fish.

"I think you should take a bath, Jian," Rui held back his laughter.

"Now let's think, how to get past this barrage of gunfire?" I looked at my two friends in turn.

"Actually, the shot looks odd, guys," Neo scratched his beard with his thumb. He looks so shitty.

"What do you mean?" Rui looked at him.

"Before I thought the three of us were their targets. But after we flew up, the shot was still only shooting at the edge of the lake. I thought it was just an automatic weapon acting as a guard. Perhaps it came from the academy up ahead there," Neo pointed forward.

Actually I've been thinking like that, but Neo explained it first, I'm always the first champion, so it looks very stupid in front of this pretentious person.

"You're right, Neo. The shot was obviously just an automatic weapon, so we could pass it easily from above. Then get inside that academy and fight them up close!" Rui clenched his fingers excitedly.

Hey, they think we're here to fight?

"We're meeting, Rui, not fighting," Neo lowered Rui's hand, smiling lightly.

I grunt. They fly first, I catch up behind. It turns out that the bullets were only shooting at the edge of the lake, making the water turbulent, really not pointing at us flying over it.

We arrived in front of the Dixia Academy's high fence. The fence is very high, gray, looks creepy.

"Hey, could this be in the supernatural realm?" Neo asked jahil.

"You don't scare me, Neo," Rui pinched her stomach, "We're in the middle of the Forest of Curious Spirits."

I almost laughed at Rui's behavior. But that giant array of artillery-like weapons used in the first world war caught my attention even more. I've seen something similar in textbooks.

The explosion was generated by them. You can imagine if we really died from these shitty cannons. That one explosion alone might make the lake hollow.

"Friends ...," I cried out stifled, settling the dozens of cannons.

Rui was seen gulping, "That, that made an explosion there?"

But it was precisely Neo acting the opposite, "Well! So cool! Maybe only here can I see such a great super-war weapon that is so awesome!" Neo pulled out a small book and a pen.

"What do you want?" I asked coldly.

"Of course you want to note it, this includes historical events. Just in case I forget about it in the future, I'll remember it again as soon as I read this little note," Neo grinned wide.

I shuddered, what if the record goes away first before the future comes? It's just as free, right? After all, why was his reaction so abnormal? Which human was so enthusiastic about seeing the cannon pounding right in front of him?

"Better we go, Jian," Rui held my arm very tightly, he was very frightened. I nodded, we walked over that tall fence, it was really stressful.

"Who's there!"

There was a creepy cry from within the academy. The three of us immediately stopped our steps, I held my breath.

Whatisthis?
