Chapter 232 Advanced, Electrothermal Cannon.

soon.

The night passed.

The next morning.

Wu Wen, who had studied the text all night, only closed his eyes to rest for a quarter of an hour just before dawn.

He then carefully put away the "Lock Mountain Armor" branch in his hand and left with his master and the others.

Led by Ma Daxiong, the leader of the Li people, they headed towards the sacrificial site of the Pantheon.

"My lord, the Pantheon is not to be trifled with. Are we really going there?"

On the way, Wu Wen couldn't help but feel a little doubtful when he heard Ma Daxiong confirm it repeatedly.

Ma Daxiong had witnessed his own strength, but the fact that he could still ask this question at this moment proved that in his mind, Wu Wen's strength was not enough to fight against the Pantheon.

Therefore, Wu Wen was curious about what methods the Pantheon had that made Ma Daxiong, even after witnessing his strength, still believe that he was not strong enough to fight them.

So Wu Wen asked Ma Daxiong, "What are the strengths of the Pantheon that you have witnessed? Tell me in detail."

Upon hearing this, Ma Daxiong shook his head: "I haven't personally witnessed what makes the Pantheon Sect so powerful, so I don't know."

“But our Li ancestors left a warning, saying that they have the ability to command ghosts and gods, and are also protected by the mountain god. We must never provoke them, otherwise we will surely suffer the calamity of extermination.”

Ah!
Upon hearing his reply, Wu Wen couldn't help but show a hint of contempt on his face.

Things passed down by word of mouth are most easily exaggerated.

The Pantheon may indeed have some methods that seem rather strange.

But Wu Wen is now able to single-handedly venture into the forbidden sacred mountain that they cannot enter, and still escape unscathed. Considering this, they must not be very capable, so there is nothing to worry about.

—

Because Wu Wen and his group were located in the heart of the Pantheon.

So, after traveling for half a day and crossing several mountain ridges, they arrived at the site where the Pantheon used for sacrifices as evening approached.

"My lord, this should be the Heavenly Pillar Peak used by the Pantheon for sacrifices. Their altar is located on the top of this Heavenly Pillar Peak."

Wu Wen and the others arrived at the foot of Stone Pillar Peak.

Looking at the mountain peak before him, which was exactly as described in his memory, Ma Daxiong said with certainty.

Wu Wen looked up and examined him carefully.

This is a mountain peak that stands straight like a pillar, with its surrounding rock walls seemingly sculpted smooth by nature's axe and knife.

Apart from some wild grasses struggling to grow in tiny crevices and a few mosses scattered in shady spots, there was not a single plant on the entire pillar-like mountain.

The road leading up the mountain is a narrow path, about half a foot wide, carved out by man, that winds its way up Tianzhu Peak.

Apart from this, there are no other means of leverage or protection, making the climbing path as treacherous as a natural barrier.

Looking at the treacherous path before him, Wu Wen felt no ripples in his heart.

For ordinary people, this route up the mountain might be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

But for a herb farmer who spends his days collecting herbs on cliffs and precipices in the mountains, they can easily climb up by following the footprints carved out in the ground.

Not to mention people like them.

I watched for a moment.

Grandmaster Zhiyuan was the first to step forward.

Just as he was about to lead the way up the mountain.

A loud noise suddenly came from the forest behind Tianzhu Peak.

Everyone turned to look.

Before long, a giant forest python, with a thick body and a length of 100 meters, was seen squeezing through a row of trees and rapidly heading towards Tianzhu Peak.

"Mountain God, this is the divine beast that guards the sacrificial site of the Pantheon!"

Upon seeing this enormous creature, Ma Daxiong immediately showed fear and hurriedly retreated while muttering to himself.

Compared to Ma Daxiong and the Li people he brought, Wu Wen not only did not back down in fear, but instead stepped forward to meet them.

And they confronted the giant forest python.

The other side raised its snake head high, its two huge pupils gleaming with a chilling light, staring intently down at Wu Wen, who looked like an ant beneath it.

Wu Wen looked up at the other person.

The other party's enormous size made him feel as if he were facing a building that was five or six meters tall.

Normal forest giant anacondas are at most 40 or 50 meters long, but this one is nearly 200 meters long, which is three or four times larger.

Either the giant boa in front of us is a special species that can grow to such a large size like an extinct dinosaur.

Either this giant python was affected by some factor, causing its body to mutate and become so large.

While Wu Wen was still speculating in his mind...

The giant python suddenly opened its blood-red maw, revealing two sharp fangs that were as thick and long as telephone poles.

Its white color tinged with dark green proves that, in addition to being large and long, it is also highly poisonous.

With a loud roar, the sound wave that formed swept over Wu Wen like a whirlwind, causing his collar to fly and his hair to flutter.

In addition, the sound waves also contained penetrating infrasound attacks.

But Wu Wen's body remained as still as a rock, completely unaffected.

A roar.

After a while.

The giant python looked at the ant-like creature beneath it, and unlike its usual prey, it didn't simply fall to the ground and let the python eat it after being hissed at.

Instead, it remained unchanged, still standing there, staring intently at him, a hint of doubt showing in its two large pupils.

I noticed the subtle change in the look in its pupils.

Wu Wen immediately understood that this giant python had probably developed sentience and possessed a trace of intelligence.

"If I had the time, I'd really like to put in some effort to tame you and make you a pet, but today..."

Wu Wen raised his right arm.

The secret treasure water spirit appeared and condensed into the shape of an electromagnetic cannon.

With a flash of dazzling white light, an electromagnetic cannon shot slammed into the giant python's chin.

However, unexpectedly, the electromagnetic railgun attack did not penetrate its chin, but passed right through its head.

It only damaged one layer of its scales, injuring a large chunk of flesh underneath.

In response, the giant python immediately let out a painful howl, creating an even stronger roar as it howled at Wu Wen.

It then revealed two sharp fangs and charged at him with its enormous tongue, as if to swallow him whole.

In contrast, Wu Wen simply leaped lightly and appeared suddenly on the top of the giant python's head as if in a flash.

Then he raised his right arm high and slammed it down. "Magnetic Rail Pulse - Rammer!"

With a loud crash, the giant python's enormous head slammed heavily onto the ground like a collapsing city wall, creating a shockwave.

"Truly...like a god descending from heaven..."

Ma Daxiong and the others, who had long since hidden far away, stared blankly at Wu Wen, who was covered in lightning and slammed the enormous divine beast to the ground with a single punch.

however.

Even when faced with such a powerful attack from Wu Wen, the giant python did not die immediately.

Although Wu Wen's punch was powerful, it only damaged the sturdy scales and strong flesh on the snake's head.

Therefore, it actually aroused its even stronger ferocity.

It swung its head violently, like a boulder, and slammed it down on Wu Wen.

"Magnetic Track Pulse - Rammer!"

On the other hand, Wu Wen delivered another heavy punch.

The giant python's head was once again blasted to the ground.

Looking down at the giant python beneath him, Wu Wen couldn't help but sigh: "Its enormous size certainly has its advantages. Despite being attacked twice by me, it hasn't suffered any major damage."

The giant python, which had fallen to the ground again, did not raise its head this time, but instead violently rolled its massive body.

In an instant, it was as if an earth dragon had turned over, and the surrounding earth trembled as its massive body pounded against it.

Its long tail, whipped up, and its body, springing up, carried tremendous force as it relentlessly rammed into Wu Wen.

"Electromagnetic Rain of Pear Blossoms!"

Under his full urging, the Secret Treasure Water Spirit shone brightly.

In an instant, countless electromagnetic cannon attacks rained down on the giant python like a storm of pear blossoms, the dense attacks forming dazzling beams of light that covered its body.

However, this seemingly fierce attack only caused superficial damage to the thick-skinned giant python.

Each time the electromagnetic cannon fired, it would blast a spray of blood onto the giant python's body, but the wounds were not deep, just like tickling it, and could not cause any serious damage.

"Wu Wen, step back! Let this grandmaster deal with this beast!"

In the distance, seeing that Wu Wen was still unable to subdue the giant beast, Master Zhiyuan stepped forward and spoke.

"Grandmaster, please wait a moment. This disciple has one more move. If this still cannot defeat this giant python, I will trouble Grandmaster to take action."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhiyuan stopped and watched quietly.

—

Electromagnetic guns can be classified into different types based on their working principles, such as electromagnetic railguns, electromagnetic coil guns, and electromagnetic catapults.

Therefore, electromagnetic guns can be classified into: railguns, coilguns, electrothermal guns, and reconnecting guns.

In the beginning, due to limited capabilities, Wu Wen started his research and development with the simplest railguns and coilguns.

However, with his enhanced abilities, Wu Wen has now developed a more advanced electrothermal cannon.

The principle of the electrothermal gun is completely different from that of the railgun and coilgun, two types of electromagnetic guns.

An electrothermal gun is a launching device that uses electrical energy to heat and generate high-temperature, high-pressure plasma to propel projectiles.

Wu Wen used a plasma arc furnace as a new launching device for the electrothermal gun.

On the right arm, the electromagnetic cannon form manifested by the Secret Treasure Water Spirit began to change.

The blue light, which had originally condensed into the shape of an ordinary electromagnetic cannon, gradually became hot and bright. Strands of electric light flickered and coiled like nimble snakes, and a powerful energy wave emanated from it, causing the surrounding air to be slightly distorted.

As the form changed, the electromagnetic cannon on Wu Wen's arm gradually transformed into the shape of an electric heat cannon.

The barrel turned bright red, as if it had been scorched by a raging fire; that was the high temperature that appeared after electrical energy was converted into heat energy.

A faint purple halo surrounded the cannon barrel; it was the unique glow produced by the flow of high-energy current.

The giant python seemed to sense the dangerous aura emanating from the weapon in Wu Wen's hand. It stopped rolling, its massive body arched slightly, its head held high, and its two lantern-like eyes stared intently at Wu Wen. It let out a low hiss, as if warning Wu Wen not to act rashly.

Wu Wen's eyes were firm as he focused intently on controlling the electric heating cannon on his arm.

"Electric Heat Cannon - Burning the Sky!"

He swung his right hand suddenly.

In an instant, a beam of scorching energy shot out from the muzzle of the electrothermal cannon.

The beam of light, like a burning dragon, swept towards the giant python with destructive force.

Wherever it passed, the air was instantly heated to an extremely high temperature, making a "sizzling" sound, as if the space itself was about to melt from this intense heat.

Upon seeing this, the giant python hurriedly opened its blood-red maw, actually attempting to use its sharp fangs to block the attack.

Upon seeing this, Wu Wen immediately found it laughable.

The energy beam of the electrothermal cannon was too powerful.

The moment it touched the giant python's fangs, the surrounding flesh instantly vaporized, and the fangs were burned red and softened by the high temperature.

Then, the energy beam penetrated deep into the giant python's mouth.

The giant python let out a painful scream, and its massive body trembled violently.

Its mouth was burned beyond recognition by the high temperature energy, leaving it a bloody mess, with large amounts of blood gushing out.

But this was not the end; the energy beam continued to penetrate the giant python's body, leaving a huge, charred hole in its massive form.

The giant python could no longer hold on, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The air around us was filled with a pungent, burnt smell.

Ma Daxiong and the others were stunned by the sight before them.

Is this divine punishment? They had never seen such a powerful attack, and Wu Wen's image in their minds instantly became incredibly lofty.

Grandmaster Zhiyuan nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Wu Wen to make such great progress in his research on thunder magic; the power of the electrothermal cannon had even exceeded his expectations.

Wu Wen slowly lowered his arm, and the radiant light of the secret treasure gradually dimmed.

This giant python is truly tenacious; despite suffering such severe injuries, it has not yet died. However, it no longer has the ability to fight against Wu Wen.

Looking at the giant python lying on the ground, barely alive, Wu Wen did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he shook his head slightly and sighed.

Although this giant python was ferocious, it was also protecting the sacrificial site of the Pantheon, and in a sense, it was a loyal guardian.

Wu Wen pondered for a moment, then turned and left without finishing off the enemy. He went to Master Zhiyuan's side and said:

"It's truly remarkable that this thing has grown to such an extent. Now that it's severely injured, let's spare its life."

Grandmaster Zhiyuan nodded and said, "If you want to release it, then release it."

So Wu Wen turned to look at the giant python again and said, "Go, I'll spare your life today."

The giant python seemed to sense Wu Wen's goodwill. It slightly opened its eyes, glanced at Wu Wen, and then slowly got up, dragging its injured body, and crawled into the depths of the forest.
