Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1362 - 1047: Beast Taming Master! The Village Chief Is Truly a Hero
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Fierce wind accompanied by heat waves surged in all directions.
The Fire Qilin continued to accelerate, running faster and faster, finally kicking up two deep, charred pits in the ground with a loud boom, suddenly transforming into a giant fireball, racing away like the wind.
Jiang Dali felt a strong impact of inertia coming on, the speed already completely surpassing what he achieved when using his Qinggong movement technique, the momentum was astonishing.
The scenery around him blurred into swift streaks rushing to the rear, and a bold spirit arose within his heart, prompting an ecstatic laughter.
"Hahaha—A real man should ride the fiercest steed and tame the most savage beast! Such thrill!!"

At this moment.
In the Song State Hangzhou, at Leifeng Tower, the bustling activity was ablaze, voices were mounting.
Numerous laborers were moving the materials transported from Divine Iron City, directed by someone to stack them up.
And now, many Players from Shaolin, Wudang, and Black Wind Village were gathered in the vast West Lake.
These Players had received the Savior Task notification from their sects four days earlier and set out to this location, being the vanguard that arrived first, they began to swim according to the task requirements, searching for potential hidden passages or underground caves at the lakebed of West Lake.
Besides these Players from the Three Sects, many other Martial World Players and Eight Desolate Disciples from all directions have joined in the task within the rule boundaries after gaining consent from the representatives stationed here from the Three Sects.
With this, West Lake was suddenly filled with thousands of Players swimming, resembling a grand field of autumn swimming activities, and more Players were on their way, making it extraordinarily lively.
Despite not knowing how searching for hidden passages and caves at the bottom of West Lake was related to saving the world, many people didn’t see it as a problem.
After all, the rewards offered by Black Wind Village, Wudang, and Shaolin for this large-scale task by the Three Sects were overwhelmingly generous.
Players have always believed that as long as the price is right, no problem is unsolvable, so despite many doubts, they diligently explored the lakebed.
In just one day, most areas of West Lake’s bottom have been thoroughly searched by the Players.
During this time, many Players drowned in the lake due to poor swimming skills, yet it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the greater number of Players.
Because some lucky Players unexpectedly found unknown Martial Arts Secret Manuals and famous weapons at the lakebed, or even discovered a few jars of Silver Tael buried in the mud, unable to ascertain whose treasure it was lost in West Lake.
The revelation of so many adventures and benefits naturally stirred immense excitement among the Players and increased their motivation.
By dusk, a Wudang Player detected anomalies in the water flow of West Lake and discovered a hidden passage amidst the lakebed silt.
This news was promptly reported to the joint office of the Three Sects at West Lake.
Experts from the Three Sects immediately set out, personally swimming to investigate, and eventually confirmed this hidden passage is connected to the perilous undersides of Leifeng Tower.
And through daring Players who ventured inside to examine the terrain, it was basically confirmed to be an underground cave with a large internal space, with a narrow entrance outside, leading directly to the base of Leifeng Tower.
Once this critical information was confirmed, the leaders of the joint office of the Three Sects felt a heavy heart, realizing the severity of the situation.
According to Jiang Dali’s first plan, the goal was to find the hidden passage that leads from the bottom of West Lake to the magma under Leifeng Tower, and then fill it completely with a large amount of special metal refined by Divine Iron City, isolating West Lake’s water from rushing towards the underground magma and preventing a world catastrophe.
But now, discovering that the underground cave’s space within the hidden passage is immense, a severe challenge emerges in the first plan—the resources needed to fill such a large space are simply massive.
Should peace be sought temporarily, simpler materials could be used to delay, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root causes, not a long-term solution.
If a permanent solution is desired, the underground cave must be completely filled, and the treacherous hidden passage leading to Leifeng Tower’s base must be reinforced and filled with special metal as though solidifying the foundation to seal the leak, preventing underground magma from melting the filler and stopping West Lake’s water pressure from breaking it.
At this moment, inside the tent at the joint office of the Three Sects.
Yu Cheng’an, the chief caster of Divine Iron City, explained all the stakes to the people from Shaolin and Wudang, and solemnly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a situation that we anticipated. Our village chief once stated that if the current situation arises, the first plan must still proceed.
Though the Divine Stone may be reclaimed later, once it is leaked, it’s hard to ensure others won’t seize it in the future, triggering another catastrophe.
Thus, our village chief believes that rather than putting hope in the Divine Stone, hope must be fully controlled by us, by sealing this leak between the bottom of West Lake and the underground magma passage completely.
No matter the cost and effort, this is a monumental task benefiting future generations and is of utmost importance."
The people from Shaolin and Wudang were moved by this statement, reflecting that despite the Black Wind Village Chief’s tyrannical and erratic actions, he indeed shows the demeanor and vision of a heroic figure on matters impacting the whole world.
The route of this cooperation between the Three Sects was indeed correct.
"Amitabha Buddha! Blessed be, blessed be. Master Jiang’s vow is truly a blessing to the world, inspiring this old monk’s admiration and respect, no wonder Master Hui’en holds Master Jiang in such high regard."
The Shaolin High Monk Du Yuan slowly nodded, then said seriously, "Then let us proceed according to Master Yu’s proposed plan. The resources and manpower required during this, Shaolin will fully support, and I will soon relay the news to the monastery."
Wudang’s Song Yuanqiao expressed concern, "This plan is excellent, potentially permanent, eliminating future troubles completely. But as Master Yu previously mentioned, this plan not only costs money and effort but also is extremely time-consuming. I’m afraid we don’t have that much time left.
Currently, the Eighteen Divine Monk Relics at the base of Leifeng Tower have exhausted their power entirely, leaving us only one or two days at most. Although Master Jiang has returned with the Fire Qilin, there’s no news of fully taming the Fire Qilin, the situation is becoming more dire."
Yu Cheng’an frowned and said, "Now, thirteen days remain before the unlocking of the Divine Stone, but the Eighteen Divine Monk Relics can only last two days at most.
And the water level of West Lake has already dropped by more than a meter, once the barrier of the Eighteen Divine Monk Relics vanishes, I’m afraid with West Lake’s water continuing, by the time the Divine Stone’s unlocking day arrives or it’s recovered, this catastrophe will erupt.
So, even though these tens of days may not be enough time, we cannot just sit and wait, we must—"
Before finishing the sentence, the tent flap was suddenly lifted.
A Black Wind Village Player entered with a joyous expression, excitedly bowed, "Master Yu, venerable Shaolin and Wudang predecessors, the latest news, the village chief has already tamed the Fire Qilin, and is on his way here, likely arriving by tomorrow morning."
Everyone present was taken aback by this news, then rejoiced, standing up to congratulate one another, laughing heartily.
"With the Fire Qilin, this perilous catastrophe can virtually be completely resolved. The village chief is indeed deserving of being the village chief, a heroic figure of all time." Yu Cheng’an gently stroked his long beard, his heart stirring as he let out a hearty laugh...
