Chapter 225: Blowing Up the Mountain
No matter how well the artillery fire under the mountain was prepared, the few people on the mountain had enough to fight before they finally continued to set off to the top of the mountain.
"Bastard brother!"
Xia Lan gently wiped her nose with the cotton cloth handed over by the purple flower guide, the bleeding had stopped, but the bridge of her nose was still quickly red and swollen.
"Stupid sister!"
Touching a row of more than a dozen bleeding tooth marks on his arm, Xia Feng grinned in pain.
But even so, the task to be accomplished continues.
Zihua's guide was very aware of the situation in Tushan, and after the two brothers and sisters stopped making trouble, the group continued to march towards the top of the mountain, the speed was obviously much faster, the oil lamp brought by Xia Lan had been broken, but fortunately, the team also brought a spare oil lamp.
After that, Xia Lan has been silent, stumbling and stumbling from time to time, and no longer refusing her brother's support, even so, after climbing to the top of the mountain, everyone is still tired and panting.
"Are we going to light the lights here?"
Xia Lan asked Purple Flower's guide, and when she reached the top of the mountain, the rain still did not decrease, and the wind became stronger.
"Yes."
The guide nodded, but the light of such a thing as an oil lamp was too faint to pass through the vast rain curtain and transmit the signal down the mountain.
He brought with him a special piece of fuel that burst out with a blinding glow as long as it was lit by the flame of an oil lamp.
This is the signal flare raw material that Jun Qianqian researched with her eldest brother Daze in her spare time, which cannot directly launch the signal flare in this weather, but ignites the raw material that emits strong light on the top of the mountain, and can also achieve the role of transmitting information.
"Then let's hurry up and prepare."
The people of the Purple Flower Tribe had already seen the power of this thing during the flare test stage, and the people of the White Rock Tribe didn't know how dazzling the light of this thing was, but fortunately, the guide reminded everyone before lighting it.
"Zila——!"
A piercing explosion sounded at the top of the mountain, not loud, but the white light was so strong that you could feel the burning heat in front of your eyes even if you closed your eyes.
If used as a weapon, this thing can easily blind the eyes of enemies in the dark!
"Qianqian! The signal is coming! ”
Everyone waiting at the watchtower saw the obvious light, and Pelo hurriedly shouted, Jun Qianqian didn't say a word, sat on the console of the artillery, and aimed neatly in his hand.
After aiming, Jun Qianqian jumped off the console, and Luo Ze immediately caught her, hugged her and put her down.
“???”
The crowd was suddenly confused.
"You want to ask me why I didn't light the fire?"
Jun Qianqian suddenly laughed.
"That's right!"
Everyone is holding their breath and waiting.
"The person who sent the signal is still on the mountain and hasn't come back, and now the ignition plans to blow them up into the sky together?"
It may be that the anxious waiting has caused everyone to have a false impression that the situation has reached a critical juncture in the race against time.
Actually, it's not good!
"Poof!"
Shanshan was the first to laugh, and the others couldn't help laughing, and the people of the Baiyan tribe wanted to laugh and were afraid, they almost sacrificed their priesthood to the sky.
The water level has not yet reached the danger line, and the bombing of the mountain now is just to appease the emotions of the Baiyan people.
When Xia Lan and Xia Feng came back with blue noses and swollen faces, the people who were waiting were stunned.
"What's going on? Need first aid? ”
The moon spirit fluttered and jumped up.
"We're fine."
Xia Lanjiao's good facial features are now swollen like a pig's head, and Xia Feng is not much better than her, the strange thing is that except for the two of them, the rest of the people are at most soaked in muddy water, and they don't see any traces of injury.
"You're fighting—"
"We just fell!"
Jun Qianqian had just used her brain to take a closer look at the injuries of the two of them, when she was interrupted by Xia Lan's yell.
She suddenly shut up, not daring to speak.
"If you get hurt, let the doctor deal with it, what are you yelling at!"
Seeing Jun Qianqian's neck, Luo Ze immediately stood up to protect the cubs, and Xia Lan's head was about to smoke when she was angry with this couple.
"It's not serious, don't deal with it!"
Xia Lan said that she threw off her coat and left, and she didn't know where she was going, Jun Qianqian touched her nose, looking at the obvious traces of a fight between the two, and chose not to break it.
"Prepare to blow up the mountain."
The rumbling of cannonballs was louder than thunder, and Charan stood on the watchtower of the inner city, which was high enough to see far away.
Jun Qianqian's accuracy never had anyone to worry about, as the earth mountain collapsed, the water level of the earthen embankment also dropped significantly, and even in the second half of the night, even the howling wind gradually quieted down.
Jun Qianqian ordered to blow up the mountain in advance, and Xia Lan took it to heart.
The water level receded, the wind stopped, and the waves were quiet, and today all the people could sleep well, and only the necessary personnel were left on the watchtower.
The large army returning to the territory walked in the front, Jun Qianqian and Luo Ze walked behind, even if the rain was heavy, it couldn't stop the two of them from wanting to take a leisurely walk.
"Actually, it's good to be windy."
Jun Qianqian stretched out her five fingers and gently swept through the air, and the breeze at this time carried a drizzle, so wet that it made people feel like they were about to swell.
"Will the wind blow the clouds away?"
Luo Ze looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, they seemed to have absorbed some of the fire, and now the edges of the dark clouds had a little flame color.
"Yes, a strong wind means that the weather is going to change, and maybe this year's rainy season will be over from now on."
Looking back on this year, although there was no harvest, it was still busy.
Jun Qianqian didn't know that the flood that scattered the southern tribes a hundred years ago was more serious than the situation they encountered this year.
But at least from today onwards, the tribesmen of the southern tribes have the experience to fight against this natural disaster.
"Even if we survive the rainy season, we have to admit that there is really very little that humans can do in the face of the forces of nature."
The wind of the rain clouds blows, and if they want to leave, they can only let the wind blow away, and even if they have the weapons that can kill, they have no way to deal with the sky.
"We've done a great job."
Luo Ze couldn't hold a torch with an umbrella, otherwise the umbrella would be burned by accident, and the two walked in the dark, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and from time to time their feet slipped and leaned together.
Xia Lan waited at the door, waiting until everyone had entered the city, and then waited until Jun Qianqian and Luo Ze came over slimy.
The scene was very spicy for a while.
"Looking for me?"
Jun Qianqian has no consciousness that she should be shy when she is seen, and in recent years, she has become accustomed to showing affection or something as the only person who has left the sacrificial altar to be single.
"You're getting married, aren't you?"
Xia Lan looked at the way the two of them got along, and felt that her cheeks hurt.
"Well, the plan to get married has been put on hold for the time being."
Xia Lan really can't open any pot.
