Amidst the icy snow and ice, the cold wind howls.
Large ice floes drifted on the vast ocean with the currents. Yesterday, Gu Xi had the sea monsters and the Shark King clear the way; today, she planned to use the Water Element Cannon to test the effect of bombarding the large ice floes.
After all, the ice on the sea surface is getting thicker and thicker, and eventually we will have to use firepower to clear the way. Therefore, it is essential to determine in advance the power of the water elemental cannon against the floating ice.
While the light was still sufficient, Gu Xi directed the octopus to aim at a huge ice floe in the distance and fire.
The octopus let out a joyful cry and jumped onto the water elemental cannon. One tentacle clung tightly to the control handle, while the other tentacles adjusted the firing direction of the water elemental cannon.
Pulling down the control handle, a blue energy orb gathered at the muzzle, emitting a dazzling light. The energy orb was then fired, directly targeting the objective.
With a loud bang, waves surged up.
Looking at the high waves splashing in the distance, Gu Xi thought that the Water Element Cannon's power was still undiminished, and the large ice floes should have been blasted into pieces.
Unfortunately, she relaxed too soon. After the sea calmed down, the large ice floe didn't seem to have shrunk much in size. Upon inspection, it turned out that the shot had only knocked off a thin layer of the outermost layer of the large ice floe.
Gu Xi tilted her head, pondering the shortcomings from earlier.
Was the Water Elemental Cannon not powerful enough? Obviously not. The waves stirred up by the Water Elemental Cannon were not much different from before, but its power was obviously weakened after hitting the ice.
The only possibility she could think of now was attribute. The Water Elemental Cannon's energy came from water, and ice itself was also water, so it was perfectly normal for the power to be weakened when water was used against water.
Mere speculation won't lead to any progress. She'd just studied the blueprints for the Fire Elemental Cannon; whether it's as she suspects, and she can actually build it, she'll find out by trying.
Gu Xi opened the blueprints for the Fire Source Cannon in the crafting interface.
【Fire Element Cannon, Requires: Fire Element Essence*1, Mystic Iron*10】
[To produce or not?]
"yes"
The Fire Element Cannon and the Water Element Cannon are weapons of the same level. In terms of production, the only difference is that the Water Element Essence is replaced with Fire Element Essence.
She possessed a much larger reserve of fire elemental essence than water elemental essence.
The Fire Element Cannon has begun construction, but it will take a few more minutes. Gu Xi simply closed the interface and waited quietly.
A few minutes later...
Gu Xi took out the Fire Element Cannon, moved the Water Element Cannon that had just been fired to another location, and placed the latest product there.
Since it was a new weapon, she ignored the octopus's request to fire and decided to operate it herself.
Water element cannons and fire element cannons look exactly the same. If they are marked by humans, it is impossible to distinguish the type of weapon being operated from their appearance alone.
To make it easier to distinguish, Gu Xi simply tied a rope to the Fire Elemental Cannon. After tying a red rope to the Fire Elemental Cannon as she wished, she even tied a bow. Two bells were hanging from the bow, and they would ring crisply when touched.
The octopus, which had been somewhat dejected at losing the right to fire its new weapon, is now having a great time playing with its tentacles after the bell was hung on it.
Gu Xi checked the time and found that more than ten minutes had passed. The fire element cannon should be almost fully charged by now, so she told the octopus to stop.
Gu Xi aimed at the target ice floe, adjusted the cannon muzzle, and then lowered the control handle. A ball of orange-yellow energy gathered at the cannon muzzle.
A few seconds later, the energy ball grew to the size of a ping-pong ball, and Gu Xi looked puzzled.
A dozen seconds later, the energy ball shrunk to the size of a tennis ball, and Gu Xi frowned.
Then, the energy was fully gathered, and the tennis ball-sized energy cluster shot straight away.
Gu Xi stared at the ball of energy in disbelief; she didn't remember the Water Element Cannon's energy ball being only this size!
