Chapter 657: Chapter 476: The Plight of the Minor Kung Fu World (Part 2)

[Dragon in the Dragon!]

The half-dragon, seeing his underlings injured, angrily swung his claws and charged out.

"That sound really does resemble gunfire."

"But how can you be sure it’s shooting?"

Wu Guinan expressed doubt.

"I saw it."

Li Pu said.

"Saw what? The shooter?"

Long Ren pressed for more information.

"No, I saw the bullet."

Li Pu shook his head.

"What a pity!"

"You can even see that!"

This statement made Wu Guinan and Long Ren beat their chests on the spot.

What a shame there was no outsider around, wasting their chance to show off.

Bang bang bang!

Rumble rumble!

In the distance, there was not only gunfire but also cannon fire, indicating the half-dragon was engaged in intense combat.

However, it quieted down after a while.

[Dragon in the Dragon Dragon!]

The half-dragon proudly announced his return while carrying a mechanical beast in each hand.

Their design immediately caught everyone’s attention.

These were a hound and a winged giant python, whose appearances were animal-like but were actually complex steel machines.

The hound’s limbs had wheels, its tail was a hollow tube like an exhaust pipe, and various firearms were installed on its back and sides.

The python was similar, with missile launchers on its wings and even a sniper-like gun muzzle in its mouth, possibly the one that injured the fire tongs scorpion earlier.

"What are these things, Transformers?"

"I think they look more like Captain Gorilla or something."

Wu Guinan and Long Ren recalled old animated cartoons.

"Something’s not right, really not right."

Li Pu felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

These two mechanical beasts felt entirely out of place with the style of the Small Kung Fu World, suggesting a clear conflict.

According to what he knew, it should be close to the time of the Kung Fu tournament.

Yet the home base of Kung Fu Panda was overrun, deliberately chosen timing perhaps.

But for now, deeper thoughts were set aside as Li Pu focused on the two mechanical animals.

Under the gaze of Wu Guinan and Long Ren, he disassembled them on the spot.

From a young age, boys have a knack for mechanics, maybe not in assembling, but certainly in taking things apart.

In a few steps, Li Pu found the relevant items within them.

It was a tangible, glowing gemstone similar to a mechanical energy core.

And information about it quickly poured into his mind.

[LV1-True Firearm (C)]

Passive Effect: Enhanced firepower

Attribute Requirement: None

Type Requirement: None

Race Requirement: Firearm Beast Category

"This..."

Seeing this skill, Li Pu was silent.

Kung Fu Beasts, Firearm Beasts.

[True Kung Fu], [True Firearm].

The Little Kung Fu World seemed like it had been invaded.

Speaking of these two identical relevant items, his three summoned beasts did not possess suitable skills.

Ammo skills are typically held by mechanical or mechanically-related summoned beasts.

Considering he would soon be able to use a mechanical summoning formation, Li Pu decided to keep them for now and not sacrifice them.

Exploring the bamboo forest of Kung Fu Panda, apart from a few solitary Firearm Beasts, they did not encounter any other living beings.

Collecting the energy core-related items they offered willingly, Li Pu led the two towards Kung Fu Spring.

Considering the potentially special situation, they traveled quite swiftly.

They rode on Rolling Turtle, Bo Bo maintained the [Dash] effect throughout, speeding on like the wind.

...

By Kung Fu Spring, a temporary battlefield.

In the ice sculpture hall, various black and white animals sat.

Here were not only the nine Kung Fu Kings but also some retired Kung Fu Kings and notable Kung Fu Beast leaders gathered.

Round Penguin sat at the center position.

"Everyone, the Firearm Beasts are attacking en masse; what do you think about it?"

As the current Grandmaster of Kung Fu King, they were responsible for hosting the meeting.

"What else can we think? There are way too many of them."

"It feels like they’re responding to the scale of the Kung Fu World to face our Little Kung Fu World."

"Besides, this might only be the vanguard, with the deployed ones being the lowest level Firearm Beasts."

"But any lower-level Kung Fu Beasts encountered were all killed, and those with intelligence were captured by them, indicating there’s certainly a higher-level Firearm Beast commander behind them."

"These guys have been eyeing our Kung Fu Spring all along."

"Zzz..."

"Venerable Snail, how can you still sleep at a time like this!"

The crowd’s chatter made the scene chaotic.

Firearm Beasts, a race that can rival Kung Fu Beasts.

As the name implies, they specialize in using firearms and ammunition.

From long ago, after some special reasons connected the two worlds, conflicts have never ceased.

Some Kung Fu Beasts desire the technological power of Firearm Beasts to transform themselves into Firearm Kung Fu Beasts.

And some Firearm Beasts want to decipher the secret of Kung Fu Spring to evolve into Kung Fu Firearm Beasts.

These two groups are utterly irreconcilable.

Thus, the buffer zone between the Kung Fu World and the Firearm World constantly witnesses conflicts.

Whatever the reason this time, they found the existence of the Little Kung Fu World and even seemed to know about the presence of a Kung Fu Spring here.

"I feel there’s a lot of purpose behind their actions this time."

After everyone had almost finished speaking, an experienced Kung Fu Crane finally said something.

"I participated in several battles against the Firearm Beasts; these tin-heads are not as dumb as they appear."

"From the beginning, they haven’t directly assaulted the Kung Fu Spring."

"Instead, they concentrated their forces on large-scale invasions of our nine Kung Fu Kings’ territories."

"After occupying the lands and confining our living space around the Kung Fu Spring, they surrounded but didn’t attack."

From his previous experience, the opposing commander should have ordered a massive force of low-level Firearm Beasts to attack Kung Fu Spring at all costs.

Yet this time, they were surprisingly patient.

"Could they have some other purpose?"

A Kung Fu Beast raised the questions on everyone’s minds.

"If this siege continues, we can’t hold out."

"Such a small area lacks the resources to sustain so many Kung Fu Beasts long-term."

Another Kung Fu Beast voiced concern.

"If worst comes to worst, we could break the spring bottom core and return to the Kung Fu World."

"No matter how cozy this life is, it will end someday."

"Everyone must have been mentally prepared, don’t you miss home?"

Another Kung Fu Beast offered its suggestion.

The Kung Fu World has many ancient rules, and this group couldn’t tolerate the restrictions and embraced freedom.

So, they smuggled themselves into the Little Kung Fu World, a paradise.

But if life or the Kung Fu Spring were threatened, returning to the Kung Fu World would be a good option.

"Discussing this now is premature; let’s observe further."

"After all, like Old Crane said, those Firearm Beasts won’t attack immediately."

"We can plan in the long term."

Round Penguin waved his hand, intending to conclude the meeting.

About returning to the Kung Fu World, he was the first to disagree.

Being caught by his elders for weight loss daily was too painful.

"Esteemed colleagues, we have a big problem!"

Yet, just as Round Penguin finished speaking, a Kung Fu Beast, clad in armor, rushed in.

"Um, um... Huff! Huff! Huff!"

It was out of breath and could barely speak coherently.

"Don’t rush, take your time to speak,"

Round Penguin frowned as he watched.

"The Firearm Beast army attacks!"

With just one sentence, this Kung Fu Beast turned all expressions sour.
