After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 247 Paper Water Rhinoceros

The paper doll can be infused with a spirit, but Song Miaozhu doesn't intend to use it.

The little paper dolls are too small to move quickly, and being made of paper, they don't have a physical form like the paper soldiers, so they aren't afraid of water.

The ability to control water is somewhat inappropriate for it.

Song Miaozhu tried it, and the paper doll that had only undergone spirit initiation but not spiritual nourishment could still have its spirit activated, which shows that the method of spirit initiation and the infusion of spirit do not conflict.

She planned to make a water rhinoceros out of cowhide and bamboo strips.

After infusing it with spiritual essence, you can try using the mount-enhancing technique to transform it into a water mount, granting it the ability to move freely in water. Combined with the ability to control water, it will be similar to the water-type spirit beasts described in ancient cultivation books.

The memory of a stonemason carving a water-suppressing rhinoceros also gave her some inspiration for the shape of the water rhinoceros.

After preparing the cowhide, she tied it into a lifelike water rhinoceros.

Like the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros, it is lifelike, but its craftsmanship is even more exquisite.

The original color of cowhide was too monotonous, so Song Miaozhu combined the patterns of mythical beasts she had learned in paper-cutting with the coloring techniques of shadow puppetry, using blue, white and black pigments to "dress up" the water rhinoceros.

A lifelike paper-made water rhinoceros was thus created.

After the paper water rhinoceros was made, Song Miaozhu tried to infuse it with spiritual power. The spirit of the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros couldn't wait to come out of the spiritual platform space and enter the body of the paper water rhinoceros along with her spiritual power.

A flash of light appeared, and its eyes, dotted with black ink, gradually gained luster and began to move.

Upon seeing Song Miaozhu, his gaze sharpened, and he turned his head to rub his hand against hers.

Thinking back to the rebellious stone rhinoceros that had once been used to suppress water, and then looking at the docile paper-made water rhinoceros in front of her, Song Miaozhu felt a mix of emotions.

My own creations are always more adorable and cute!
Spiritual energy gathered at her fingertips, and she used the method of imbuing a water rhinoceros with the spirit of her mount to complete the imbuing process.

Immediately, Song Miaozhu felt a connection between herself and the paper water rhinoceros; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were of one mind.

When it slightly bent its knees and lowered its head, she immediately understood its meaning: it was inviting her to sit on it!

Water-based mounts naturally prefer water, but their mobility on land is limited.

Like a Xuanwu mount, it stretches freely in the water, but its speed on land is not even as fast as it walks.

However, the water rhinoceros seemed unaffected. After Song Miaozhu mounted it, although its running speed was not as fast as the Qilin mount, or even as fast as her own, it was much faster than the Xuanwu mount, comparable to a small electric scooter. Just as Song Miaozhu thought of this, the water rhinoceros's speed suddenly increased, and the bumpy ride became much less.

She looked up and saw that the water rhinoceros had somehow summoned a stream of water, which swept up his four thick hooves and charged forward.

It felt like walking on water, even though it was on land; the ride was smooth and comfortable, with excellent speed.

However, the water flowed through the bamboo forest without leaving a single drop. The paper sculptures she had placed in the forest were completely unaffected, and her trouser legs remained dry.

I never imagined that the water rhinoceros's ability to control water and its riding ability could be combined to create such a transformation.

"Well done!" Song Miaozhu praised.

The water rhinoceros let out a pleasant hiss and carried her down Little Bamboo Mountain in a flash.

"You also want to go to the riverbank?" Song Miaozhu asked, looking in the direction it was running.

"Roar~" Water!

Song Miaozhu roughly understood what it meant and instructed, "Don't go to the riverbank in town, find a place far away from people."

The water rhinoceros changed direction.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of a cliff, with the rushing river flowing below.

Without the slightest hesitation, the water rhinoceros leaped off the cliff, its feet treading on the water.

Song Miaozhu was so frightened that she was about to summon her colorful phoenix mount when suddenly a water dragon rose from the river, caught the water rhinoceros, and carried it gently back into the water.

The water dragon entered the water and turned back into a surging river.

But this was just the beginning; the water rhinoceros enthusiastically demonstrated its water control abilities.

Waterspouts, super whirlpools, cutting off water flow, raising walls of water, creating giant waves even without wind...

Song Miaozhu felt as if she were watching a grand water control performance.

While she watched the water rhinoceros demonstrate its abilities, people on the riverbank of Yuanshan Ancient Town downstream of Xiaolijiang River were surprised to find that the river level was fluctuating, as if it were jumping back and forth between the dry and rainy seasons.
