This MC is so original

"Is this magic considered a projectile?"

"But if it's a projectile, shouldn't it bounce off the shield or disappear on the ground when it hits it? Why is it still sticking to me, forcing me to manually shake it off?"

"Or is this a new feature that appeared after adding some mod?"

Lu Xiu was still thinking about the new features that had appeared, and the ball of wind he threw out flew rapidly towards Grandma Ping.

Although Grandma Ping was a little surprised, she still raised her hand and casually pinched the wind ball in the palm of her hand, and extinguished it with a light pressure.

"how did you do that?"

Grandma Ping was a little surprised. This seemingly ordinary wooden shield could actually bounce back elemental attacks. This was too unreasonable.

This novel situation aroused Grandma Ping's great interest. She raised her hand and a long spear appeared in her palm. She swung the spear in a dance and then stabbed it fiercely at the wooden shield in front of Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu didn't dodge either, but just raised the wooden shield. With a dull thud, the wooden shield blocked the oncoming spear, and even Lu Xiu's body didn't move at all.

"What a magical shield..."

When Grandma Ping saw Lu Xiu take her attack again, she couldn't help but admire him.

She had used at least 70% of her strength in the attack just now, but still failed to destroy the opponent's wooden shield, not even leaving a trace.

Although her attack was purely physical, it was much stronger than the previous wind ball.

If the same attack were to happen to someone else, it would probably have pierced a bloody hole in both the person and the shield.

Lu Xiu looked at the durability of the wooden shield. Compared to before, it only lost a little durability after taking this attack.

That's it? It's not even as powerful as the previous magic!

"If wind element and physical attacks don't work, then what about fire element?"

Grandma Ping turned to look at her apprentice Xiangling, who immediately understood what she meant and whispered to Guoba, "Guoba, spit fire! But remember to hold back."

Guoba nodded and casually shot a stream of fire at Lu Xiu, who quickly blocked it with his wooden shield.

Although it was replaced by the fire element this time, it was still like before. When the flame hit the wooden shield, there was a dull thud, and then... nothing happened.

"It's clearly a wooden shield, but it can withstand the flames of the rice crust and not catch fire?"

Grandma Ping's eyes lit up as she exclaimed in amazement: "What a rare thing! I wonder what kind of rare materials and treasures were used to forge it."

While they were still feeling the novelty, Lu Xiu's impatient face appeared from behind the wooden shield.

"Your attack is over, now it's my turn."

I have already made the iron sleeve, but I still keep getting beaten. How can I, Steve, bear this injustice?

Even if the iron brother who protects the villagers comes, I will give you a few punches at least!

Lu Xiu sprinted and jumped in front of Grandma Ping, then brought the iron axe in his right hand down towards her forehead.

Grandma Ping calmly held the spear in her hand across her body to block Lu Xiu's leap and slash, with a kind smile on her face.

"Young man, don't get excited, you... cough..."

Suddenly, while Grandma Ping was talking, she couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. She was surprised to find that she was actually injured in Lu Xiu's attack?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Lu Xiu's jump attack was 100% a pure physical attack, without a trace of elemental force. I blocked his attack, so why did I get injured?

When Xiangling saw that Grandma Ping was injured, her eyes widened in horror.

"master?!"

Lu Xiu almost laughed out loud.

"You want to resist an axe without a wooden shield?"

Chapter 18 Isn’t it normal for soil to float in the air?

Grandma Ping took two steps back, suppressed the blood in her mouth, mobilized the elemental power to temporarily suppress her internal injuries, then shook her head at Xiangling to indicate that she was fine, and then looked at Lu Xiu in surprise.

"What a bizarre method! I was able to defend myself, but I was still injured. Moreover, I haven't noticed how you hurt me. I didn't even sense the slightest elemental fluctuation. Young man, you are very powerful."

"master!"

Xiangling rushed to Grandma Ping and examined her anxiously, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that she had no obvious external injuries.

"Don't worry about me, it's okay."

Grandma Ping smiled at Xiangling, then raised her hand and waved it, and the spear in her hand disappeared from their sight.

Grandma Ping stood with her hands behind her back as usual, looking like a kind old lady next door. There was no sign of the vigor with which she had previously wielded the long and heavy spear.

Lu Xiu looked at Grandma Ping in confusion, as she was not planning to attack anymore. Although he didn't know why she didn't attack anymore, her not attacking didn't mean he wouldn't take action.

The spear that just appeared in Grandma Ping's hand looks very cool. What if it drops after she kills someone?

This is a kind of equipment that I have never seen before. Although it does not seem to have any enchantments on the surface, for Lu Xiu who is just starting out, he is very tempted by it!

Lu Xiu approached Grandma Ping again with an axe in hand and anticipation in his heart. His menacing look with the weapon in hand should have made people feel afraid or wary, but he approached in a jumping manner.

Originally Xiangling had a tense expression on her face, but when she saw Lu Xiu approaching her like that, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, just as she laughed, Grandma Ping's expression suddenly changed, and she frowned and whispered softly.

"Girl, get out of the way! He's hostile!"

When Grandma Ping shouted this, Lu Xiu had already arrived at the two of them, raised the iron axe in his hand, and then slammed it towards Grandma Ping's head.

When the axe was about to fall, Grandma Ping grabbed Xiangling's arm and quickly stepped back several steps, thus avoiding Lu Xiu's attack.

"Still hiding?"

Lu Xiu was a little surprised. In his impression, except for the Enderman who would passively dodge arrows, other monsters would fight the players to the death like an iron-headed kid. This was the first time he saw a creature that could actively predict attacks and dodge.

This further stimulated Lu Xiu's desire to kill Grandma Ping to see what she dropped.

"Since you can hide... then limit your range of movement."

Lu Xiu replaced the axe, took out a handful of mud, and then, under the surprised gazes of Grandma Ping and Xiangling, casually pressed it in front of himself.

A 1×1×1 block of dirt suddenly appeared, and with Lu Xiu's hand speed, a three-meter-high dirt wall rose up, and Lu Xiu tried to trap the two of them in it.

Grandma Ping was so curious that she didn't try to leave the mud wall, but started to explain.

"Young man, we have no ill intentions. Although I didn't have any ill intentions when I attacked you before, it was indeed my fault. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk? I will make appropriate compensation."

Grandma Ping is now more and more curious about Lu Xiu. The methods and equipment he displayed are all things she has never seen before.

The wooden shield that looked to be made with very simple manufacturing techniques could actually defend against attacks from various elements, and its defensive effect was comparable to that of the Emperor's shield. This was simply unheard of.

Now Lu Xiu can quickly build this three-meter-high earthen wall with his bare hands, and she has not yet felt any elemental power emanating from Lu Xiu. He is truly a remarkable person.

However, Lu Xiu seemed to have heard nothing. After surrounding Grandma Ping and Xiangling in the mud, he jumped in again, and the item in his right hand switched back to the axe.

Seeing this, Grandma Ping frowned immediately. It was obvious that Lu Xiu was still full of hostility towards them, but she didn't really want to be Lu Xiu's enemy. Just as she was about to try to communicate with Lu Xiu again, noisy discussions came from outside the wall.

"When did this mud wall appear? It wasn't there during the day."

"I don't know. It's three meters high. Can the soil really support such a height without collapsing? Can someone climb up and see what's going on inside?"

"I come."

With the sound of armor rubbing against each other, a Qianyan soldier climbed up the three-meter-high earthen wall with the help of his teammates. As soon as he climbed up, he glanced inside the wall and saw a man in iron armor holding a shield and an axe staring at an elderly woman and a pretty girl opposite him. Alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.

Seeing that the armored man was about to hurt the old woman and the girl, Qianyanjun hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs to try to attract his attention.

"Who are you? Stop it!"

The shouting of the Thousand Rocks Army did indeed successfully attract Lu Xiu's attention, but when he turned around, he saw that the mud wall he had built was already covered with Thousand Rocks Army soldiers, holding various weapons in their hands, including long swords, crossbows, and spears...

"guard?"

Lu Xiu frowned and decided to retreat after briefly weighing the pros and cons.

There were too many enemies, and I couldn't handle it alone. In addition, the old woman NPC could dodge, so it was difficult for me to kill her by force under the attacks of a group of people.

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Xiu had no intention of staying and quickly switched out useless blocks to use as stepping stones. Every time he jumped, a one-meter-high cube appeared under his feet.

When the Qianyan Army had just entered the earth wall, Lu Xiu had already used blocks to build a seven-meter-high earth pillar.

Seeing this, the leader of the Qianyan Army shouted, "He's trying to escape! Quick, break this pillar!"

A group of Qianyan soldiers armed with various heavy weapons rushed towards the base of the earth pillar.

However, seven or eight Qianyan soldiers attacked part of the earth pillar with their weapons for several seconds, but only hollowed out half of it. The other half of the earth pillar still supported the whole.

"This...this isn't scientific? There's only so much left, how can it possibly hold up?"

The Qianyan Army was stunned. According to common sense, given the frequency and force of their attacks, they could only shave half of the mud pillar. This clearly proved how dense it was. This also meant it must be incredibly heavy. Logically, the mud pillar should have collapsed under the weight. But why was it not moving at all?!

Unconvinced, several members of the Qianyan Army attacked the remaining parts of the mud pillar again until they completely destroyed the entire mud pillar. Seeing that the mud pillar with a hollow in the middle did not fall down but was suspended in the air, they showed expressions of horror.

"Your Majesty, this defies common sense! Why is this mud pillar able to hang in the air without support?!"

Chapter 19 How about you take the ladder?

The suspended earth pillar was so shocking that the Qianyan Army and Xiangling and her apprentice did not pay attention to Lu Xiu's whereabouts.

When they came to their senses and wanted to look for Lu Xiu again, they discovered that with the top of the mud pillar as the starting point, a horizontal mud pillar a hundred meters long appeared in the sky.

Although they had been shocked by the suspended earth pillar just now, when they saw this hundred-meter-long earth pillar that could float steadily in the air without any support points, the Qianyan Army was speechless and just stared blankly.

"Oh my god, if I go call those newspaper people over now, can I get a share of the money they'll pay me for providing the front-page headline?"

Xiangling was also astonished and tugged at Grandma Ping's sleeve: "Master, how...how did you do this?!"

Grandma Ping also opened her mouth in surprise and slowly shook her head.

At the beginning, when Xiangling came to her and said that there was a strange person, Grandma Ping laughed secretly in her heart. She had existed in this world for more than a thousand years. What kind of scenes and people had she not seen?

But now, she just wanted to say that she had never seen such a scene before.

"There's no elemental reaction, and no trace of a magic circle... This is ridiculous. How on earth did they do this?"

If she didn't know what the Emperor's incarnation in the mortal world looked like, she might have mistaken Lu Xiu for the Emperor.

After all, even she couldn't do such a strange and unreasonable method. If she wanted to find someone who could do it, perhaps the Emperor could be one of them?

No, perhaps the Emperor cannot do something that goes against common sense?

"Master, Master..."

Xiangling's cry woke Grandma Ping from her thoughts, and she turned her head in confusion.

"What's wrong, girl?"

Xiangling pointed at the suspended earthen pillar with curiosity and asked, "Could that gentleman also be an immortal?"

"Immortal..."

Grandma Ping laughed and looked up at the wonders that looked like the work of immortals in the eyes of mortals, and she couldn't help but think secretly in her heart.

In the eyes of us immortals, isn't this what an "immortal" does?

"You two, are you okay?"

At this moment, the Qianyan Army remembered the two parties involved, Grandma Ping and Xiangling. After ordering their men to seal off this place, the leader of the Qianyan Army came to the two and asked for details of the matter.

Xiangling waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I'm fine, but my master is a little injured."

When Qianyan Jun heard that someone was injured, he looked worriedly at Grandma Ping, who looked elderly.

"Old man, how are you feeling now? Do you need me to send someone to escort you to the clinic for a checkup?"

Grandma Ping smiled and waved her hand: "No need, it's just a minor injury. If you had shown up a little later, it would have healed."

Looking back now, just based on the fact that Lu Xiu was able to create such a counterintuitive spectacle, it is hard not to wonder whether he had shown mercy to me before.

Otherwise, considering that he was able to create this kind of suspended building with no detectable elemental reactions or traces of magic arrays, how could he have just caused me to spit out blood?

Grandma Ping had good reason to suspect that Lu Xiu was holding back when he attacked her.

Qian Yanjun was relieved when he heard Grandma Ping say that she was fine. After all, if there were casualties in the area under his jurisdiction, it would definitely be his responsibility. Then he asked Grandma Ping tentatively in some embarrassment.

"Old man, since you're alright, could you please cooperate with us in our investigation and take notes? After all, you saw the strange things that person left behind... They were incredibly bizarre. Therefore, to protect the peace of Liyue Harbor, we have a responsibility to understand the cause and course of events."
