Chapter 17: The Colossus in the Water
"Run, run!"
The old man pulled the man over from the edge of the cliff, turned his head and shouted.
It's just that his voice has been completely muffled, and at this moment, he felt that his nasal cavity was suddenly covered by a bloody breath. What he said, I couldn't hear at all.
There was only a loud roar left in his ears, and then his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness directly.
From the bottom of the cliff, a thousand feet high waves suddenly set off, and they slapped directly on the cliff from the river. The rolling waves crashed straight up, and some people were unsteady on their feet and were directly swallowed by the river.
The people, who were originally going to rush to work under the embankment, quickly retreated when they saw such a scene. For a while, people pushed people, and many people did not stand firm under their feet and fell directly.
This fall doesn't matter, it directly knocks down the people behind him. Originally, there were guardrails on the edges of these cliffs to prevent people from falling, but at this time there were too many people, and the thrust generated was also huge, so the guardrails were directly knocked off.
Many people fell directly from the guardrail, and the soldiers who arrived struggled to rescue the survivors. For a time, the entire construction site was covered by screams and cries for help.
Hearing the news, King Wei and Xie Jun hurriedly ran out of the house, and the waiter behind them followed King Wei with an umbrella, but was pushed away by King Wei.
"Call your men, hurry over and save people, save as much as you can!" King Wei shouted at the general beside him.
After countless waves, the general's face gradually turned pale, and he hurriedly called his subordinates to rush over to save people.
It happened so suddenly, and although it was raining heavily, no one expected this to happen.
"This high cliff was originally the highest place at the bottom of the embankment, and now the water surface of Luoshui is almost approaching the top of the cliff!"
Xie Jun asked, "Your Highness, how long can we hold on?" ”
King Wei's fists were already clenched, and in his ears, the screams of the people were like a curse, haunting his mind.
"We have just finished repairing, and the soil is also wet, and the soil has not been compacted in time. If you encounter too much impact, I'm afraid you really can't hold on. King Wei's voice trembled slightly.
Xie Jun's face suddenly became a little solemn, and he stood in front of King Wei and said, "Your Highness, the minister will return to the palace immediately and explain the situation here to Your Majesty!" ”
"It's all up to Lord Raussie!" King Wei's eyes kept looking at the chaos on the construction site.
The general rushed with people to save people, and a group of soldiers threw away their blades and desperately dragged out of the water the people who fell into the river. However, the rescued people seemed to have lost their souls, and desperately fled in the direction of Shendu.
"Don't run around, let's go back to camp first!" The general was a loud voice, and his voice pierced through the rain curtain and echoed throughout the construction site.
But the usually fierce and vicious general didn't deter anyone at the moment.
"There...... There are monsters! A man stumbled.
"Nonsense, hurry back to the camp, no one is allowed to leave here!" The general drew his sword.
Who knew that the long knife had just come out of its sheath, and suddenly there was a huge roar in front of him. I saw a cliff, and suddenly it collapsed.
Countless gravels fell from the edge of the cliff and fell into the river. Some of those who did not escape from the cliff were washed away by the water.
The sky was dark, like ink.
In such gloomy weather, all kinds of screams converged, and it was like a hell on earth.
From under the Luoshui River, a huge spiral nest suddenly appeared, engulfing everything around it.
A huge black figure gradually emerged from the water. It was almost a behemoth, and in the rain curtain, only a shadow could be clearly seen, covering the entire sky.
The general froze in place, allowing the people to pass by him.
It was a long time before he realized that it was just the monster's eyes. At this moment, he was cold, as if he had been immobilized, and stood motionless.
The massive monster moved slowly through the river, gradually approaching the embankment.
Its head had a long void, and before it touched the embankment, countless wooden frames and makeshift houses collapsed.
The gap that had been blocked with countless dirt and masonry was directly shattered by the monster when it was hit like this.
Gravel flew everywhere.
A piece of rubble was thrown out and smashed straight down. The general froze in place, instantly foaming at the boulder.
Countless people were screaming, and the gap in the embankment reappeared in front of people. Torrential floodwaters gushed out of the breach, and some of those who had not yet fled were directly submerged by the river.
"Your Highness!" A group of attendants and guards stopped in front of the King of Wei, frightened in the face of the flood and burst the embankment.
In the face of such a calamity, both the princes and nobles and the common people of Li seem small and helpless.
King Wei was only twenty years old.
Beneath his green face was a gloomy face. He closed his eyes tightly and didn't take a step back.
Just like a few years ago, his father and brother died in the battle at the head of the Divine Capital, even in the face of death, he never took a step back.
Rumble!
Flood water gushes out of the gap and instantly pours into the construction site.
The entire construction site was covered by floodwaters. The monstrous waves flooded the camp originally built by the people.
King Wei and others were directly engulfed by the flood.
The flood that came out of the ditch was like a wild beast that wanted to devour all the living. All living beings are covered by the flow of water.
These floodwaters flowed into the Luoshui, and the entire water level was immediately raised.
Xie Jun drove his horse in the direction of Shendu, and he suddenly heard a roar behind him. In the midst of the rain, he faintly heard an unpleasant sound.
He was anxious, and he wanted to rush back to take a look, but there was still King Wei commanding on the other side of the river embankment, and what he had to do now was to quickly tell the news to the palace.
He tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and then got on his horse and waved his whip desperately, trying to get back to the palace as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the hearts of countless people suddenly pinched.
Xie Jun held the goldfish bag licensed to him by Shang Shu, and broke through the layers of guards in the palace all the way to the empress.
It didn't take long for the military camp of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army to be the South Ya Sixteen Guards suddenly lit up, and the long dragons galloped away in the direction of the river embankment.
There is no way to block the Luoshui River, and now the temporary solution is to blow up a few tributaries to relieve the pressure near Shendu City. Some of the dikes were blown open and used to discharge floodwater.
Two hours later.
The flood hit the gates of the divine capital, and finally poured into the city.
One hundred and eight squares, covered by an endless river.
