It was a sunny and cloudless day.
At the center of the fort on what had been named “Dragon Peak” on the Twin Dragon Island…
“Everybody, get away from the wall!”
Ji Ye was standing right next to the wall of the Temple of Providence.
His purple clothes were fluttering against the wind as he spoke to everybody with a jade brush in his hand!
Pa!
A drop of Flood Dragon Blood that emitted powerful waves flew to the tip of the jade brush from his finger.
The brush then pointed to the wall of the Temple of Providence, and a red dragon eye appeared out of nowhere.
Pop! Crackle!
In the next moment, the wall, which was more than ten meters long, shivered abruptly. The bricks and stones that made up the wall emanated the white brilliance that indicated the Dragon Aura. Amidst the light, the bricks and stones that weighed dozens of tons turned into a vivid dragon!
“Roar!”
After a low and blurry dragon roar, the wall dragon broke apart from the main part of the Temple of Providence and flew away in a glow!
“Paint the eye and enliven the dragon! That’s really miraculous and enviable!”
“That’s right. The ability to turn a dead creature alive is definitely ‘Transcendent’. It will be very useful in battles.”
The leaders of the Twin Dragon Mount who observed the scene remarked in mixed feelings.
As a piece of equipment with a Perfect rating, the Eye Painting Brush was definitely the most powerful item in the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
In particular, its power could be fully carried out with Ji Ye’s Dragon Aura and Dragon Blood. Apart from everything else, such an enormous “wall dragon” could easily destroy a well-prepared stronghold or a team of elite soldiers if it fell on their top.
It was needless to say that the dragon could be controlled to fight in a battle!
“Huh. Look at the ‘wall dragon’. Doesn’t it have a sheen of golden light that gives a grave feeling except for the white glow from the Dragon Aura?”
Mister Bug, who had a red-nosed mole on his arm and held a metal spade, noticed something.
There was a vague sheen of golden light underneath the white glow of the wall dragon in the sky.
“It must be the ‘Buddha Light’…”
Elder Meng, who had the talent of Aura Observation, held a porcelain cup from which hot steam was popping up in the shape of a crane. He remarked as he watched the wall dragon swooping to an open ground.
“The Twin Dragon Mount fort’s Temple of Providence used to be a Buddhist temple. Some of the Buddhist Power must’ve been pressed into the wall because of the rules of the Land of Inheritance. Besides, Zhang Sengyao himself was from the Southern Dynasties. That’s why it happened.
“Many people thought that Du Mu’s famous poem, “how many of the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties are still intact”, was an exaggeration. But in fact, there were almost three thousand temples in the Southern Dynasties. The whole society was under the influence of Buddhism.
“Because of the trend, Zhang Sengyao, as one of four ancestors worshiped by the painters, wasn’t just good at drawing dragons, but also gods, Buddhas, eagles… I speculate that Master’s brush can draw deities and Buddhas when the requirements are met…”
Elder Meng was habitually helping everybody with their lessons.
Elder Meng’s speculation was correct. The “wall dragon” truly had “Buddha Light”.
The most powerful part of the Eye Painting Brush was that the dragon it invoked would not only be boosted by the Dragon Aura, but it would also retain the original Extraordinary or even Transcendent power!
Therefore, the more powerful or unique the object it painted on was, the more powerful the dragon it turned into would be.
Also, this Perfect brush indeed had the ability to draw Buddhas and gods!
But that was on the premise that Ji Ye mastered the Extraordinary power that corresponded with them.
For example, if he intended to draw Buddhas with his brush, he could not use Dragon Aura and Dragon Blood. He didn’t have to become a real Buddhist, but he would have to summon a hero who was good at Buddhism and learn the special tricks of the school first!
The same rule applied to the gods…
However, he didn’t have to paint Buddhas or gods yet.
It was because the ability to paint dragons was good enough for him to do infrastructure!
Yes, infrastructure!
“Roar!”
The ten-meter-long dragon flew away and landed on a pit that was being filled not far away from the Temple of Providence.
After it lay down, the glow on its body dispersed, and it turned back into a pile of bricks and stones!
Ji Ye was renovating the Temple of Providence and the square around the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
It was meant to increase the capacity of the Temple of Providence so that it could protect more personnel in battles. He also perfected the treasury under the Temple of Providence while referring to the construction files of U.S. military bases he got from the SkyNet database.
It was clearly difficult for the regular soldiers or the new players to accomplish the task without modern equipment.
Therefore, Ji Ye chose to work in person. He was not alone.
“Is it ready?” Li Yuanba, who was wearing a black helmet, asked.
After receiving a positive reply, he exerted strength on his iron arms and lengthened the pair of Long Gold Hammers, before he smashed where the Buddha Dragon landed.
Boom!
The power was so furious that even the West King of Yuan would be shocked by it. It shattered all the bricks and stones into smithereens, and the loose soil was now as hard as iron.
He was much more efficient than a high-valuable compactor!
That’s right, after successfully summoning Li Yuanba, Ji Ye gave the toughest young man from Sui and Tang who only obeyed him the mission to help to ram the earth!
Although Li Yuanba was only a “kid” of twelve years of age, and Ji Ye could be accused of exploiting a child laborer, the guy could finish the work of a hundred people with his special talent, “Infinite Stamina”.
Furthermore, not only were there a child laborer, but there were also non-human laborers!
“Awoooo… Woof!”
Above everybody, the sound of a howl and a bark echoed.
A wolf that was as large as a calf stepped close in midair with its tongue stuck out. It was wearing tailor-made gray armor and carrying a pillar that had been chopped from the Forest Monsters’ territory and processed by a carpenter player to the construction site.
After successfully absorbing the bloodline of the Yuan emperor’s Heavenly Wolf, the husky finally received an Extraordinary ability.
Also, it was a flying ability, which few people in the entire Twin Dragon Island were capable of at this moment.
The dog became so cocky that it often ran back and forth above the head of the walkers, making everybody complain!
It was lucky that it wasn’t a real dog and it didn’t mark its turf by urine, or it would’ve been cooked in a hot pot.
Therefore, Ji Ye simply involved the dog in the construction project in case it was overly energetic.
“Huh?”
At this moment, Li Qing suddenly sensed something.
Pressing the device on his ears that was similar to headphones, he looked at Ji Ye and said, “Master, the Dragon Tooth Battalion has information to report to you!”
That was a piece of telecommunication device that the Twin Dragon Mount fort took back from the City of Humans.
Well, it was actually just a wireless walkie-talkie.
It was more advanced than its counterpart on Earth, and it supported remote conversation over a distance of five kilometers.
“They found an island on the route of the Twin Dragon Island’s voyage. It’s likely to be the settlement of aliens. We’ll probably engage them in half a day…
“The latest update is that a battle is going on over there, with heavy casualties on both sides!”
Li Qing relayed the information that the Dragon Tooth Battalion had collected during their reconnaissance.
“Two alien groups are fighting with heavy casualties? Well, that sounds rather familiar!”
Mister Bug’s eyes glittered after hearing the new message.
