Chapter 689 Gu Xu: Don't move, silly girl
"Can safety be ensured?" Gu Xu asked after hearing Xiao Wanjun's request.
“We have repeatedly checked every component many times, and there should be no problems.” Xiao Wanjun answered with confidence.
Gu Xu’s words made Xiao Wanjun feel faintly moved.
Because His Majesty’s first concern is not the experimental results of this Momen puppet, but her life safety.
Gu Xu nodded.
Anyway, he has the power of "time" and can go back in time. Even if the puppet explodes on the spot, he is confident that he can rescue Xiao Wanjun unscathed.
Xiao Wanjun bent down, carefully stretched out his fingers, and lightly touched the head of the huge metal puppet.
It feels cold and solid to the touch.
In a trance, she seemed to feel an electric current flowing from her fingertips to her brain, which shocked her.
She took a deep breath, feeling uncontrollable excitement surge in her chest.
Except for the time when she had mastered the imperial seal of the Da Qi Dynasty, this was the moment when she was closest to extraordinary power.
Moreover, this is completely different from Da Qi Jade Seal.
The power in the jade seal was given by Emperor Tianxing. It only takes the emperor a thought to take it back easily.
However, this metal puppet was made by her and her monks.
The moment she touched it, she even had the illusion of controlling the wind and rain and controlling thunder.
She was silent for a while, calming down her inner excitement, and then placed her entire palm against the cold metal shell of the puppet.
The next moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the school field.
After the light dissipated, Xiao Wanjun's figure had disappeared.
The huge metal puppet suddenly opened its eyes.
Its eyes shone with golden red light, like burning flames.
I saw it supporting the ground with one hand, and with a roaring sound, it suddenly stood up from the ground, leaving a huge human-shaped depression in the snow.
Then, it turned around and looked at Gu Xu, clasping its hands into fists and saluting him respectfully.
Gu Xu showed an approving smile on his face.
Through the puppet's twinkling eyes, he could clearly sense that Xiao Wanjun was sitting in the control cabin on the puppet's head, with a solemn expression and unconcealable joy.
Her hands were firmly placed on a luminous glass ball-shaped object - that was the core control center of the puppet formation.
With the help of this center, Xiao Wanjun can flexibly control the puppet with just her thoughts, as if it has become an extended part of her body.
"Try its firepower!" Gu Xu ordered.
The puppet moved in response, slowly raising its heavy right arm and pointing directly at the fortress made of bricks and stones on the school field that was usually used for exercises.
Immediately afterwards, there was only a deafening loud noise, and a dazzling red light suddenly shot out from the palm of the puppet, carrying with it majestic energy, like a wild dragon out of the sea, instantly blasting that A strong fortress was bombarded to pieces and turned into powder flying all over the sky.
"Bah bang bang."
Gu Xu took the lead in applauding.
At the same time, with a thought in his mind, the dust floating in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and quickly regrouped, returning to its original appearance of a solid fortress in the blink of an eye.
"Try other things," he said, "for example, how capable it is, how fast it is, and what effect it will show if it is actually put into the battlefield..."
After hearing his instructions, the puppet stayed in place for a moment. Then, its legs suddenly burst into dazzling light, and then its entire huge body rose from the ground. It seemed to have turned into a shooting star, streaking across the sky, speeding towards the distant sky, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Gu Xu stood there and waited for a long time, but he still didn't see the puppet return.
“Wan Jun is lost, right?”
While thinking to himself, he sank a ray of consciousness into the astrolabe to investigate, and found that it was actually metal The puppet's energy had been exhausted and it stopped at the top of Mang Mountain more than a hundred miles away, unable to fly back.
Gu Xu smiled helplessly, and then used the power of "Qiankun" to tear apart the space.
In an instant, he was at the top of Mang Mountain.
I saw the metal puppet sitting quietly on a towering rock nearby. The golden-red light in its eyes had been extinguished, and the magic circle on its body had become dim.
Xiao Wanjun is sitting in the narrow operating cabin.
Since she could neither drive the puppet nor escape from the cabin, her face showed an anxious and helpless look.
Gu Xu was suspended in the air, close to the head of the metal puppet.
As he used "Qiankun" again, a space passage directly connected the inside of the puppet.
"Come out, Wanjun." He looked at the former princess trapped inside, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said warmly.
"But, it's too high here..."
Xiao Wanjun carefully poked her head out of the space passage, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
After all, this puppet is five feet tall. Even if it sits down, its height is far higher than an ordinary house.
For a mortal, if he falls from such a height, even if he does not die, he will inevitably suffer bruises and even broken hands and feet.
"Don't worry," Gu Xu said, "With me here, are you still worried about falling?"
Xiao Wanjun took a deep breath and stepped out of the space passage.
Just when she thought she was about to fall, a "Wind Talisman" suddenly flew out of Gu Xu's sleeve and stuck to her body. In an instant, her figure hovered steadily in mid-air, no longer showing any tendency to fall.
“Is this what it feels like to fly in the air?” Xiao Wanjun sighed secretly in her heart.
This is undoubtedly a new experience for her.
Although she had taken a ride on the Daqi Dynasty's floating airship in the past, it was not the same experience as flying in person.
Now, her feet were no longer a solid deck, but the ethereal air and the unreachable ground.
Since it was the first time to use the "Wind Movement Talisman", Xiao Wanjun was a little unfamiliar with the direction and strength. She only took two steps in the air before she stumbled forward due to excessive force.
Just as she was about to hit a tall pine tree on the edge of the cliff, Gu Xu dodged and stopped in front of her in time.
So, she ran into Gu Xu's arms unexpectedly.
The moment the two people's chests came into contact, Xiao Wanjun's cheeks instantly turned red, and her heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I never meant any offense, I was just careless..."
She apologized hurriedly while trying to break free from Gu Xu's arms.
"Don't move, silly girl," Gu Xu smiled faintly, put his strong arms around her waist, and brought her down slowly from the air, "You don't even know how long you can sustain your energy. You have flown so far alone without testing it. If it weren’t for me, wouldn’t you be living in the wilderness?”
