Chapter 445: Flood Hazards
The three of them used the cloud technique to rush at full speed, and half a day's journey passed quickly, and they came to the flooded town.
The trio worked together, Ma Hetong was responsible for rescuing residents trapped by the flood, and Shang Ran and Mao Rui opened channels to divert the water away.
"We should find another monk who is good at water attribute spells or earth attribute spells, just the three of us are too slow in terms of efficiency. Mao Rui complained.
Mao Rui used the water attribute spell to change the flow direction of the water with his divine sense, and Shang Ran built a wall of earth, which was really laborious for the two of them.
Shang Ran was sweating profusely, and it was quite difficult to cast the earthen walls one after another, and he had no spare time to answer Mao Rui.
Mao Rui is not easy, he is not very good at water attribute spells, and now he is at the level of the early stage of the foundation of his divine consciousness, so he will stop talking after complaining.
Half a day later, the water in the town was diverted to a nearby canal, and Mao Rui and Shang Ran were exhausted and panting.
"People have been rescued, and some of them died on the spot when the flood broke out. I just discussed with the person in charge of the town, and the residents of the town plan to rebuild in the same place, and do not want to relocate, and want us to build a high ground in the southwest of the town, so that there is no need to worry about flooding the town again. I didn't say yes right away, I wanted to ask your opinions. Ma Hetong came to the two of them and said.
According to the requirements of the task, now that the three of them have successfully completed the task, they can meet the sect to deliver, even if they don't help them build the high ground, it doesn't matter, but building the high ground is equivalent to working in vain, and there is no benefit to the three of them.
"Let's go to the southwest of town first, and I'll help them get it without bothering. Shang Ran got up and said. The implication is that if it's a lot of trouble, it's better to let the people in the town relocate.
Mao Rui had no objection, and the three of them walked with the head of the town to a small hill southwest of the town.
The person in charge of the town told Mao Rui that the reason for the flood outbreak this time was because of the heavy rain in the previous two days, and the mountain spring gathered into the town and had nowhere to discharge, as long as the three immortal masters built a high ground here, the spring water on the mountain would flow to other places, and the town did not have to worry about being flooded.
The three of them didn't listen to the words of the person in charge of the town, and looked at the surrounding terrain.
Through observation, it was found that the method of the town leader was indeed feasible, and it would be better to destroy the hills further southwest.
"It's not hard to help you build high ground here, and it's not even a problem to level that little hill and divert the water of the mountain spring completely. But we've done it this time, is there any benefit to helping you out?" asked Mao Rui to the head of the town.
The head of the town looked at the hill that Mao Rui had spoken, his eyes moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he led the three of them to the town that was already in ruins when the flood waters receded.
Coming to a dilapidated building that vaguely saw that it was originally an ancestral hall, the person in charge found a few strong men and dug up the ground of the ancestral hall, revealing an underground passage.
The person in charge of the town led the way with a lantern, and Mao Rui's divine sense found out, and he had already learned about the things hidden in the ground first, and he was the first to follow, and Shang Ran and Ma Hetong did not hesitate.
Anyway, it's three monks, and if you still have to show timidity in front of a mortal, it can't be said.
The underground passage ticked, and it was fortunate that it did not collapse in the flood.
The passage was not long, and it was not long before I came to a small room. The room was a mess, with a lot of water and some stones falling from the top.
The person in charge of the town stuck the lantern in the crack in the wall, and bent down to look for it in the stagnant water like a fish, and Mao Rui, who knew that he said that he was looking for the location of the object, did not make a sound to remind him, and watched with Shang Ran, Ma and Tong.
A long wooden box was found in the stagnant water, and the three of them could see through the dim light of the lantern that the town's leader was visibly relieved.
"As long as the three immortal masters can help the town solve the hidden danger of flooding, they are willing to give this thing as a reward. The head of the town said solemnly while holding the wooden box, and slowly opened the wooden box towards the three of them as he spoke, revealing one of the pitch-black spears.
Ma Hetong stepped forward to pick up the spear and examine it carefully, Mao Rui, who was still standing at the entrance of the room, lightly touched Shang Ran with his elbow, Shang Ran nodded slightly, and looked at Ma Hetong's back with a smile.
"This thing was in the hands of the heads of the towns a hundred years ago, although we can't use it, but we also know that it must be a treasure of the immortal family, and I don't know if we can get into the eyes of the immortal master?"
These three immortal masters are all disciples of the Earth Sect, and they can be said to know the roots, and the person in charge of the town is not afraid of scolding people, and they are interested in seeing money, so they decided to take out the spear.
This spear didn't mean much to this town, and it couldn't be used, and it knew it was a treasure, so he only dared to hide it and didn't let others know about it, so as not to cause trouble. If this useless spear can be exchanged for the future stability of the town, the person in charge of the town is very happy.
Mao Rui and Shang Ran also entered the room, standing beside Ma Hetong on the left and right, Mao Rui knocked on the barrel of the spear, making a crisp sound, Shang Ran played a trick, and the spear emitted a faint light.
"A medium-grade magic weapon-level spear is of good quality, and it is no problem to use it as a melee weapon. It's a pity, I'm not good at using spears, and it's too cheap to sell them, and it's useless to ask for them, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help the town remove the hidden dangers. I think you'd better move somewhere else. Mao Rui shook his head and sighed with regret on his face.
The people in charge of the town were stunned, this was the only thing they could do to the immortal master.
"It's a pity, it's a pity Shang Ran also shook his head and sighed, and walked out with Mao Rui, without the slightest nostalgia for the spear.
"Immortal Master, please..."The person in charge of the town was anxious, and asked for help from Ma and Tong.
"Mao Rui, Shang Ran, let's do this favor, this spear belongs to me, and I don't want to attribute the contribution points of this mission to the two of you at all, how about it?" Ma Hetong proposed.
Mao Rui and Shang Ran, who were facing away from Ma Hetong, smiled slightly, and Mao Rui asked, "Shang Ran, how much is a medium-grade magic weapon worth in the sect?"
"Between four hundred and one thousand, depending on the quality, this spear is worth eight hundred contribution points. Shang Ran replied seriously.
The reward for this mission is 1,200 contribution points, and the three of them share 400 for one person, which is half of the price.
"So, old horse, I think so, if you really like this spear, you can help the town solve the problem alone, it's a thankless task for us, there's no need for that. Mao Rui turned to Ma Hetong and said.
"Come on, you can. Shang Ran encouraged him and continued to walk out with Mao Rui.
"You two don't act, if I can do it alone, do I still need to consult with you? I bought it with you with 1,000 contribution points, in addition to the 400 contributions for this mission, and I owe each 300 points to each of you, and we will do this together." Ma Hetong said helplessly.
If you join the Earth Sect, you will get a low-grade standard magic weapon, or a flying sword, which is of no use to his body cultivation. Originally, he wanted to save contribution points in exchange for an ordinary medium-grade magic weapon, but now that this spear has appeared, the quality is very good, it is definitely better than the exchange of the sect, and it is still in line with his eyes, so he naturally can't let it go.
It's not that the sect can't exchange for a better quality than this spear, but the price is far from being solved by a thousand contribution points, and I don't know when it will be enough to contribute points. Why not take it if there is a suitable one right now?
As for robbing from the hands of the person in charge of the town, don't think about it, since it is a town that belongs to the local sect, there must be a way to contact the sect, and if the sect rules are really ornamental, do you want to get mixed up in the local sect.
Mao Rui: "Earlier, it's a little simpler." ”
Shang Ran: "Isn't it just to remove the hidden danger of flooding, and it is on us." ”
Seeing the two of them leave with a smile, and then looking at Shang Ran, who was holding a spear and his face was not very good-looking, the person in charge of the town hesitated and shouted, "Master Immortal?"
"Find seven or eight young and strong men to help us, since this gun is a reward, give it to me after the hidden danger is solved, and you will have to keep it before that." Ma Hetong put the spear back into the wooden box and said solemnly.
The head of the town hugged the wooden box tightly and decided not to let go of his sleep.
Mao Rui took a pile of talismans and took a few strong men to the small hill that needed to be blown up, the strong men were responsible for placing the talismans all over the hill, and Mao Rui was responsible for inducing the aura in the talisman.
These talismans were made up by the three of them, and they were all low-level low-level talismans, which were not worth much spirit stones. Mao Rui has a lot of talismans of this level, but he just didn't take them out, otherwise it would not be a problem to blow up the nearby mountains, let alone a small hill.
Shang Ran and Ma Hetong performed the earthen wall technique and built high ground in the southwest of the town. This is a tiring job, so Mao Rui took out the most talismans and chose to do it easily.
Three days later, the hill was blown away and the high ground was successfully built.
"After all, the highlands are made of earth, not very strong, and I have helped you to open up a wide road, and you can transport the stones that have been blown off the hills to reinforce the highlands, this is not a difficult time job, you can do it yourself. Mao Rui said to the head of the town.
The hill was flattened in just one day, and Mao Rui, who did not want to participate in the construction of the highland for the rest of the time, took a few strong men and opened a smooth and wide road from the bombed-out hill to the town. It would be convenient to find tools to transport the stones.
The person in charge of the town was very satisfied with this, and gratefully invited the three of them to have a rather sumptuous feast. At the banquet, he handed over the wooden box containing the spear to Ma Hetong, and at the moment when the wooden box was handed over, he was obviously relieved.
In the past three days, the person in charge of the town has always held the wooden box that can be described as the hope of the whole town, and has never left his body, and he has to carry it with him to the last latrine. If you can't eat well and sleep enough, you're afraid that you'll lose it if you're not careful.
Ma Hetong immediately let the spear recognize its owner and put it in a storage bag.
The three of them returned to the sect to deliver the task, and they looked for a new task in the mission hall, Ma Hetong still owed a lot of contribution points, and he couldn't pay it back if he didn't accept the task.
