Chapter 12 Flying Dragon Gorge, Heavenly Crystal Beast Transformation
The next morning, the sun rose.
On Nangongcheng Square, an elite team is ready to go.
One hundred elite soldiers from Nangong City stood in gleaming armor, their ranks perfectly aligned, each face radiating fierce fighting spirit.
Yesterday's victory against the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance has boosted the morale of the entire city to an unprecedented level.
The giant dragon lay in the center of the square, its massive body resembling a small green mountain.
Nangong Wenya had already been carried onto the dragon's back by Wu Yi and was looking around curiously, while Nangong Wentian stood to the side with a short sword at his waist, his little face full of anticipation.
Jingxie lay on the giant dragon's tail, its bluish-gray shell gleaming faintly in the morning light, its pincers drooping lazily.
The goddess landed on the ground, her golden feathers fluttering in the morning breeze.
The Celestial Beast stood quietly beside Wu Yi, its state similar to that of Nangong Wenya. For the newly born beast, everything was new.
However, the crimson gem on the forehead of the Celestial Beast shimmered with a warm light in the sunlight, as if it were gathering power.
Wu Yi glanced at the line and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Set off!"
At a command, the giant dragon flapped its wings and took off first.
The Heavenly Crystal Beast and the siblings Nangong Wentian quickly lay down and clung tightly to the Giant Spirit Dragon.
The experienced Jingxie calmly clamped a scale onto the giant dragon and began to doze off.
The divine dance spreads its wings and flies to the side.
Wu Yi's hundred elite soldiers also rode the flying dragons trained by Nangong City, taking off in a grand procession and flying together towards the direction of Ximen City.
There are several routes from Nangong City to Ximen City, but Wu Yi chose to take the route through Feilong Gorge this time.
Feilong Gorge is located on the northwestern border of Nangong City. It is a long and narrow gorge stretching for dozens of miles, with towering cliffs on both sides and a rushing river meandering through the bottom of the gorge.
This place was originally home to a large number of flying dragons. It was the homeland of the Giant Spirit Dragon and the birthplace of the Jade Spirit Dragon.
Just as the group approached Flying Dragon Gorge, Wu Yi's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Above the canyon, a group of enormous flying dragons were circling.
Those dragons, which should have been soaring freely in the sky, were now scattering in panic.
Behind them, a strange purple smoke was spreading rapidly.
Wherever the smoke passed, the dragons' wings became powerless, and they all fell to the ground.
A series of howls, filled with pain and fear, echoed from the bottom of the valley.
"That's... Flying Dragon Gorge?" Nangong Wentian, lying on the back of the giant dragon, stared wide-eyed.
The giant dragon let out a deep roar, its voice filled with anger and anxiety.
This is its homeland, and those flying dragons that are being chased and fleeing in all directions by the poisonous fog are its compatriots.
Wu Yi's eyes turned cold.
His fears came true!
In the original story, the Scorpion General and the Poisonous Scorpion under the command of the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader once occupied Flying Dragon Gorge and captured a large number of flying dragons with their poisonous stingers.
Yesterday in Xianyin Forest, Wu Yi encountered General Da'er again.
At that time, he felt that the influence of the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader had penetrated deeper than he had expected.
So before setting off today, Wu Yi was wondering if Feilong Gorge had also been attacked.
That's why he specifically chose this route.
In retrospect, that decision was indeed the right one.
"Lord of the City," the Celestial Beast's voice rang out, "it seems there's a battle going on down below."
"Hmm," Wu Yi responded, his gaze fixed on the source of the purple smoke.
He had some doubts.
Because he remembered that the scorpion didn't seem to have shown this ability in the original storyline.
Could it be that some monster outside the main storyline has appeared?
As the giant dragon drew closer to Flying Dragon Gorge, Wu Yi finally saw a huge scorpion lying on a protruding rock deep within the gorge.
Its tail is held high, and purple poisonous mist constantly gushes from its stinger.
Beside it stood a tall figure clad in dark red armor, directing more small scorpions to attack the flying dragon swarm.
That's General Scorpion.
A lackey of the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader.
The scorpion next to it is a venomous scorpion that has been corrupted by evil.
No other monsters appeared.
"It seems the animation content is limited." Wu Yi wasn't too surprised.
This is, after all, a real world, and naturally much more than what the animation depicts.
However, due to the protagonist Nangong Wentian, much of the information in the animation can serve as key clues, while further details and changes will need to be adjusted according to the situation.
Refocusing his attention on Flying Dragon Gorge, Wu Yi's right hand instinctively reached for the Dragon Soaring Sword at his waist.
With his strength, one sword strike would be enough to deal with this kind of person.
But suddenly, he stopped moving.
wrong!
Wu Yi glanced down at the Heavenly Crystal Beast beside him.
The azure-blue Qilin was watching the poisonous scorpion below, its eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
The Celestial Beast has just been born. Although it has already unlocked the Justice Celestial form, the other four forms are still dormant. It needs to fight to grow stronger.
The scorpion before them was a suitable opponent.
Weak enough to pose no threat to the Celestial Beast, yet possessing a certain level of combat ability, enough to allow the Celestial Beast to stretch its muscles.
A good target for gaining experience.
Moreover, Wu Yi also wanted to personally test just how powerful the legendary first divine weapon beast really was.
"The Celestial Crystal Beast," Wu Yi said.
"exist."
"Are you ready?"
The Celestial Beast turned its head, and Wu Yi's figure was reflected in its green eyes.
It did not answer, but the crimson gem on its forehead shone with a dazzling light.
That's the best answer!
Wu Yi smiled slightly and leaped off the giant dragon's back.
The wind whistled in my ears, and the cloak of my armor fluttered behind me.
The Celestial Beast descended alongside him on auspicious clouds, maintaining perfect synchronization.
"Celestial Crystal Beast!" Wu Yi stretched out his hand. "Transform into the divine weapon Celestial Crystal!"
The voice of the Celestial Beast transformed into a deep roar, echoing throughout the entire Flying Dragon Gorge.
Suddenly, a dazzling light erupted from the azure-blue Qilin's body, and within that light, its form began to change drastically.
The four hooves contracted, forming the outline of the sword hilt; auspicious clouds gathered and merged into the blade; the crimson gem on the forehead slowly moved to the center of the guard, like a beating heart.
In the blink of an eye, a long sword with a pure blue color appeared in Wu Yi's hand.
Compared to the divine weapon in the animation, which is more like a knife, the divine weapon Tianjing in Wu Yi's hand at this moment is more like a longsword.
Wu Yi guessed that it might be related to the soul contract that the Heavenly Crystal Beast had formed with him, so the transformed beast was more in line with his usage habits.
Looking down at the divine weapon in his hand, he saw that the sword was crystal clear, as if it were carved from the purest jade, yet it also gleamed with a metallic cold light.
The crimson gem in the center of the hilt pulsated slightly, and with each pulsation, blue light flowed along the patterns on the blade, like blood surging through its veins.
At the end of the sword hilt, a cloud-shaped handguard unfolds, perfectly enveloping Wu Yi's hand.
This is Wu Yi's Frost Justice Crystal!
