Chapter 275: The Broken White Mountain River
A question was immediately placed in front of Fang Jin.
Why did the Baishan River suddenly stop flowing?
Soon, the four teams that had just come back from outside had not had time to catch their breath at the headquarters, and then they were sprinkled out by Fang Jin.
Two of the teams will travel up and down the Baishan River to investigate the cause of the outage.
The other two teams crossed the Baishan River and went to the north bank to continue surveying the groundwater level on the north bank.
If Fang Jin's speculation is correct, the key to all problems lies in the interruption of the flow of the Baishan River, and the water level of the cities north of the Baishan River will also drop. Moreover, the line just across the river bank should be the most serious, and the further north it is, the lighter the impact, and the overall axisymmetric distribution is presented!
In short, the intelligence they collected will be the key basis for Fang Jin to make the final decision and response.
In the worst-case scenario, he will have to consider abandoning Shu County and evacuating to other areas as a whole!
A day has never been so long.
On Liu Chang's side, the latest situation came in the evening, and the water level continued to drop. While the momentum seems to have slowed down slightly, it will be enough to scrap all of the existing shafts of the Survivors' Guild before it stops falling.
Finally, in the morning of the next day, the professionals, who had taken great risks and investigated overnight, sent back more detailed information.
The first is the situation north of the White Mountain River.
Indeed, as Fang Jin deduced, there was also a symmetrical water cut.
It is almost certain that after the abrupt interruption, there are major problems with the underground water sources on both sides of the Baishan River!
Just a few hours later, the survey convoy traced more than 200 kilometers along the Baishan River, and with the help of the high-altitude vision provided by the reconnaissance eagle, it finally made an astonishing discovery.
The broken Baishan River is not a normal gradual break, but a turbulent water that suddenly disappears after a point!
At that breaking point, above the nearly dry riverbed, a huge spatial rift appeared.
There are unknown forces that have built a huge magic circle directly below the spatial rift and in the silt at the bottom of the river. The river water flowing down the upper reaches of the Baishan River was raised by ten meters, rolled into the spatial rift, and diverted into the twilight plane!
"The diameter of the magic array is at least fifty meters wide, and the scale is amazing. The flow of water per second is more than 1,000 cubic meters, and the momentum is impressive! ”
Song Miao, a ranger who saw the situation clearly through the reconnaissance war eagle, worked hard to search his dry thesaurus, describing the situation to Fang Jin.
It is worth noting that, according to Song Miao's description, there are multiple coral stone pillars on the edges and nodes of the magic array. The various carved mysterious runes also have a very different otherworldly ocean style.
"Why don't you look closer?"
Fang Jin was a little puzzled, according to Song Miao's statement, he only observed from a distance for a moment through the field of vision of the reconnaissance war eagle, and did not go over in person.
"It's dangerous nearby!"
Song Miao seemed to think of something, and said with a lingering feeling: "After I first discovered that magic array, I directly asked the reconnaissance war eagle to lower its height. But just when it was about twenty meters high near the ground, a thick dark green tentacle suddenly poked out of the mud, directly killing the war eagle in an instant. ”
"Dark green tentacles? Can you describe what it looks like? ”
The more Fang Jin listened, the more strange he felt, the more strange he felt, he could live in the mud, and the grade was at least a high-level elite?
"I'm sorry." Song Miao shook her head a little ashamedly, and said, "The speed at which the tentacles reached out and retracted was too fast, and I lost contact with the war eagle before I had time to react." Because you confessed at that time, I didn't dare to act rashly and risk approaching the investigation as soon as you found out. ”
"I don't blame you for this, it's good to find out."
Fang Jin nodded, comforted Song Miao a few words, and continued to ask about other details.
However, the information that Song Miao can provide has basically been said, and the rest is very limited. The only thing that is clear is that there are a lot of crawling traces on the mud of the riverbed that has not yet dried up.
Perhaps, it was they who created this magic array and cut off the flow of the Baishan River.
After thinking for a while, with some preliminary guesses, Fang Jin felt that he would go over and investigate in person. There are some things that can only be matched with the information in his memory if he sees it with his own eyes.
"By the way, why hasn't the team sent downstream here yet?"
Before leaving, Fang Jin, who had thought of something, suddenly asked.
If memory serves, the lower reaches of the Baishan River flow into Chaohu Lake. The upstream convoy has already found the reason, even if the convoy sent to the downstream investigation chases all the way to the edge of Chaohu Lake, calculate the time, and now it is time to return, right?
Could it be that there is some kind of trouble?
In Fang Jin's heart, there was a faint feeling of unease.
It just so happened that not long ago, a pure bronze team returned to recuperate from leveling, so Fang Jin temporarily sent them downstream to search and respond.
He took Song Miao and personally rushed to the node where the upper reaches of the Baishan River were broken.
Because there was already a clear goal, the speed of the team was much faster this time. In addition, there were not a few demonic beasts along the riverbank, so it only took four hours for the two of them to approach the breaking point of the river.
"Just a kilometer ago!"
Through the reconnaissance warhawk, Song Miao saw the amazing scene again, and subconsciously slowed down the car.
"Park two hundred meters away." Considering the unknown danger, Fang Jin made a relatively safe decision.
Soon, the vehicle stopped.
With the help of a wide field of vision, Fang Jin clearly saw the scene in front of him: the massive amount of Baishan River was swept into the air more than ten meters high by the invisible suction of the magic array. Like a whale sucking water, it is sucked into the twilight plane by a spatial rift, or simply lost in the spatial turbulence halfway.
The turbulent river has not left a drop after passing through the magic array, and the strange scene is like a myth and legend.
"Let your warhawk come down!"
Fang Jin stared at the coral reef pillars that suppressed the magic array for a while, and thoughtfully instructed Song Miao.
The level 11 ranger immediately complied.
Soon, the scout eagle roared, swooped down at high speed, and crashed towards the center of the magic array.
At the initial height of two hundred meters, there were no problems.
Until the Scout Eagle swooped to a height of twenty meters above the ground.
In an instant, the mud on the surface of the riverbed shook for a moment, and a dark green tentacle suddenly poked out, crushing the war eagle into minced meat with incomparable precision.
From poking out, attacking to retracting, the whole process is done in one go, not even a second!
Even if Song Miao was mentally prepared in advance, when she saw this scene again, her face still couldn't help but turn a little pale.
"You war eagle, it seems that it has been recruited for a long time, and the skill should have cooled down, right?" Seeing Song Miao's confirmation, Fang Jin immediately said, "Come again, this time lower the altitude first, and then approach the magic array from a low altitude." ”
"Okay."
Song Miao immediately understood Fang Jin's intentions, and once again summoned the war eagle to start the temptation.
This time, the war eagle descended to a low altitude one hundred and fifty meters away from the magic array, but it did not encounter any attack. It wasn't until Ping Fei reached a place fifty meters close to the edge of the magic array that he was suddenly wiped out by the dark green tentacles again.
"Fifty meters in transverse radius and twenty meters in longitudinal height, is this its warning range?"
Fang Jin pondered for a moment, his face becoming a little serious.
Even he, a reborn after six years, didn't even know what that lightning-fast tentacle was!
There are too many mysteries in this emergency!
