Chapter 668: Great Flood
Somewhere on earth.
This area is rich in soil and water, with many rivers. Compared with the location of the earth, it can be regarded as a "water town in the south of the Yangtze River."
The people here live and work in peace and are rarely harassed by demons and evil creatures.
This is because according to local legends, there is a silver-white dragon fairy who secretly guards this place, scares away demons and eliminates harm for the people.
The people respected this dragon fairy very much. They built temples for it, carved totems for it, and often offered sacrifices and worshipped it.
It is precisely because of its existence that this water town has been spared from the invasion of evil spirits and has maintained peace for more than ten years compared to the turbulent outside world.
More and more people, unable to reach Anshan, had to seek refuge in the water town. With the efforts of Anyue officials to protect people's livelihood, they could earn a living.
However, precisely because there are few demons and evil creatures in this area, over time, the huge gathering of people has attracted the attention of more demons.
In the dark, unknown to the common people, Xiao Qing had just used the magic weapon bestowed by the Earth Mother to kill a god-level demon in the mountains outside the water town.
In order to avoid causing panic among the people, Xiaoqing even used magic to block the scenery inside the mountain so that the people could not see the terrifying figure of the demon.
The various magic weapons bestowed by the Earth Mother have enabled Xiaoqing, a newly-enchanted immortal, to be able to fight against the great demons.
However, although there was assistance from some creatures in Anshan, Xiaoqing had been struggling for more than ten years, and most of the magic weapons she had had were already used up.
The most terrifying thing is that the huge popularity that is gradually gathering in the water town is like a shining torch in this chaotic world, constantly attracting all kinds of demons and evil creatures, and even the innate forces that want to destroy the human world are secretly surrounding it.
There are also many hidden forces trying to fish in troubled waters, such as the severely damaged Yunlongmen, and the Zhensheng Sect that broke with the Heavenly Court. They have all sent out disciples to carry out demonic looting activities in order to completely stir up trouble in the world.
More and more enemies gradually surrounded the water town, intending to destroy the tens of millions of lives gathered here.
Once the action is taken, the whole state will be massacred and the horrific casualties will shock the three realms.
The local mountain and river gods had already issued a warning to Xiaoqing, and the river gods had successfully escaped the encirclement along the developed branches of the river system and rushed to Anshan for help.
However, let alone whether a river god can cross half of the human world and successfully reach Anshan to report the news.
Even if he really made it to Anshan, the people in the water town would probably have been slaughtered in the process of going back and forth.
Faced with the desperate situation of being surrounded by enemies, Xiaoqing had no choice but to offer sacrifices to the Mother Earth before they took action.
A grand ceremony to worship the gods was held in the water town, and millions of living beings prayed together, calling on the name of the Mother Earth.
Xiaoqing silently recited the incantation, hoping to use the supreme majesty left by the Earth Mother in the human world to forcibly suppress the enemies active around the water town, so as to delay time.
The wind and clouds are changing, and the dark clouds are gathering.
The calls of millions of human beings at the sacrificial ceremony successfully awakened the last breath of Mother Earth left in the world.
The Lord of the Human World resurrected a phantom in the water town. The aura of the Lord of the World suppressed all monsters, and his eyes swept across almost half of the human world.
Under this gaze, countless demons burdened with karma exploded and died. Unable to bear such a look, they were suppressed to death by the breath of Mother Earth.
Many coveted enemies retreated in fear and did not dare to attack the water town again in the short term.
Even the area near the water town became much quieter for a while.
However, the real body of the Earth Mother was held back by the enemy, and what Xiaoqing and the others awakened through their sacrifice was just a wisp of her breath left in the human world.
After repelling the enemies, this breath of energy began to slowly dissipate.
The shadow created by the breath of Mother Earth looked at Xiaoqing, who looked tired, apologetically:
"Xiao Qing'er, my aura can only help you so far..."
"The chess game in the green courtyard has occupied too much of my mind. If I lose even a single move, it will lead to the death of hundreds of millions of people..."
The Earth Mother had been restrained for a long time and was facing an extremely dangerous situation. In addition to the first Chaos Yuanjun who appeared, there were many old monsters who had been hiding for eternity who exerted pressure and deliberately targeted her, just because they did not want the Lord of the Human World to interfere in the chaos of the human world and prevent the massacre.
Xiaoqing looked at the Earth Mother, whose eyes were gentle and her face was apologetic. She just smiled and snuggled in the arms of the Earth Mother's phantom for a while without showing any fear.
"Mother Earth, you are responsible for the survival of the entire human world and bear more pressure. Xiaoqing understands... Xiaoqing will do her best to deal with things here."
Xiaoqing has a slim figure and long legs. At this moment, she is half-kneeling in front of the phantom of Mother Earth. Her expression seems indifferent, but she looks like a junior who is saying goodbye seriously.
Mother Earth sighed, and disappeared into wisps of green smoke, leaving only a wisp of the protective aura of the earth's origin, quietly lingering on Xiaoqing's fingertips.
One or two days after the shadow of the Earth Mother disappeared...
A full half month.
There has been no news from the river god who went out to report the news. He must have encountered some danger and has not been able to return for help yet.
Most of the enemies have retreated, but there are still some brave ones who are secretly watching.
Seeing that the aura of the Earth Mother had completely dissipated, he began to think about the water town again.
They worked together in secret and quietly created a natural disaster, a flood, by taking advantage of the water town's environment.
This flood was controlled by demons and evil creatures. It was like an ocean bursting its dam, instantly engulfing the outskirts of the water town.
The torrent that rushed through was more than ten meters high, destroying almost all human buildings. Not to mention, there were many demons and evil creatures hidden in the flood, adding fuel to the fire, making the flood even more terrifying.
There are many rivers in the water town. When it was hit by the flood, the mortal towns built on the waterside were instantly destroyed.
The people fled crying, but there was nowhere to escape. Looking up, they saw floods rushing in from all directions.
Xiaoqing used the few remaining magic weapons on her body to transform into an illusory giant bell, which she urged to enlarge to the extreme, surrounding the center of the water town. The magic bell was enough to block the flood.
The creatures of Anshan, together with Xiaoqing, quickly gathered up the common people and placed them in the direction of the big bell.
But there are too many human beings in the water town. From the hundreds of thousands of local creatures at the beginning to the tens of millions of human beings gathering for refuge now, this density is extremely terrifying.
Even if many sentient beings with cultivation tried their best to lead people, they would not be able to rescue so many human beings and creatures in a short time.
The ordinary creatures who were about to be hit by the flood could only follow their instincts and climb as high as they could, climbing to any high place within their sight.
But there were also terrible monsters hidden in the water. They roared in along with the flood, deliberately dragged the creatures on earth into the water, and tore them to pieces alive. The blood stained every corner of the torrent, and clusters of turbid blood flowers bloomed!
At this moment, both human beings and ordinary creatures were suffering terrible attacks and being slaughtered by floods and demons in the water.
And above the sky, Xiaoqing had transformed into the body of a dragon, carrying a powerful magic weapon, and started fighting with the invading demon.
