Chapter 467: Water Divertion
After a few more words, the stinging chief hurriedly retired, letting the stinger carry him into the forest to search for the surviving mutant red spiders.
Missing a mutated red spider could cause big trouble for Xicheng, and the sting chief didn't dare to slack off.
Ye Xi was still standing by the Star Lake.
Gaze intently at the sparkling, sapphire-like lake in front of you.
The water of the lake is still very clear, and you can even clearly see the stones at the bottom of the lake, but in fact, the water is full of toxins, and you will be poisoned to death if you drink a few more sips.
What a good lake, just like that......
Ye Xi was helpless and distressed.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the star algae are not all dead, and they still have more than a hundred star algae left in the cave for lighting.
As for this lake, the toxins in the lake water must be cleaned up, but the star lake is stagnant water, and the lake area is large, so it is very difficult to clean up the toxins.
“...... Do you want to plant lotus flowers from the Lotus Tribe?"
He thought.
The lotus seeds, lotus leaves, and lotus flowers of the Lotus tribe are all detoxification holy products, and if this kind of lotus is planted in this star lake, the toxins should be slowly removed over time.
However, there are two difficulties, one is that they don't have so many lotus lotus roots, even if they go to the Jiugong Trading Area with a large number of fierce beast cores to buy them, they can't buy the number that can fill the entire lake.
The second is that the lake is too large, and even if all the lotus flowers are planted, it will take a long time to remove all the toxins in the water.
Ye Xi thought about it again and again, and finally gave up the idea.
"Let's dig a river channel, bring water from other places to the Star Lake, and let the rushing river slowly wash away the lake. There was a relatively large river a mile away from Xicheng, so this river was introduced. ”
"In this way, the Star Lake will become living water, and it's fine. ”
Ye Xi made up his mind.
"Witch ......"
At this moment, an old hoarse voice came from behind him.
Only the Xia tribe people in Xicheng called him so, Ye Xi turned around, and sure enough, he saw the white-haired armadillo chief standing behind him with his back bent.
Ye Xi's expression eased, and he asked with concern, "How is your body?"
The armadillo chief is old and an ordinary person, and it is not easy for him to survive the disaster this time, and he also feels very lucky.
"Hehe, the Ye tribe's doctor is very powerful, he has already cured me completely, and my head doesn't hurt at all!" The armadillo chief squinted and smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were all stacked together.
Ye Xi smiled with relief: "That's good." ”
The armadillo chief smiled hesitantly, rubbed his hands together and asked, "Wu, the stone statue of our Xia Cang's ancestor was destroyed by that hateful fierce bird, you see...... Isn't this going to be a new one right away?"
Although all the tribes in Xicheng respect Xia Cangzuwu, none of them are as fanatical as the Xia tribe.
In the past, the Xia tribesmen would worship the stone statue of the ancestor witch by the lake every morning, even in the coldest month of winter, without hindrance.
So this time the ancestral witch stone statue was destroyed, and the armadillo chief was the first to find it, and he couldn't wait to erect the stone statue again.
After this terrible catastrophe, the Xia tribesmen worshipped Xia Cang's ancestral witch a little more fanatically, because they knew that this disaster was settled by the ancestral witch's bone staff, looking at the huge remains of the great wilderness relic, as well as countless big red spiders all over the ground, they became more and more in awe and worship Xia Cang's ancestral witch.
He wanted to kneel in front of the stone statues excitedly now, and thank them for their great ancestors!
The armadillo chief's eyes were hot, and he looked at Ye Xi expectantly.
However, Ye Xi was silent.
After a long time, he said, "No, I won't build it yet." ”
The armadillo chief was stunned: "Why?"
Ye Xi took a deep breath: "In the future, there may be a Great Desolate Remnant attacking Xicheng, and even if the stone statue is erected again, it may be destroyed." ”
He didn't want to see Xia Cang's ancestral witch's stone statue smashed to pieces again.
The armadillo chief froze there suddenly, his face gradually turned gray, he did not speak, and said in a dejected voice: "Alas, it is my old man who has not thought it through. ”
Ye Xi comforted: "There will always be another one in the future." ”
When Xicheng has the strength to withstand the disaster, he will build an even more magnificent stone statue of the Ancestral Witch.
At that time, what Xia Cangzu Wu was holding in his hand was not a small piece of small source stone, but a giant source stone as big as a rugby ball obtained from the hands of the Zhi tribe.
Because the Ancestral Witch Stone Statue stands in the center of the Star Lake, the power of that large source stone will radiate to the entire Xicheng, allowing everyone who lives in Xicheng to infiltrate it.
It's useless to be greedy for the murderous creatures outside Xicheng, come and kill one by one, come and kill a group of people, just to add food to everyone.
Someday.
Ye Xi thought lightly.
However, it is clear that this goal will not be achieved in the short term.
More than four months later, the White Turtle Great Witch once again divined that a bad omen had come, Xicheng did not resist, and everyone hid in an underground shelter.
The dim underground.
The crowd stood or sat on the ground and huddled together.
In order to reduce oxygen consumption, only one torch was lit in the cavern, and the light was very dim.
After about an hour, there were heavy footsteps like thunder, one by one, exploding overhead.
The unknown creature was of unknown rank as a fierce beast, and everyone knew that its footsteps were so heavy that the walls of the cave were shaking, and dust and gravel were falling.
The dim light shone on everyone's bleak and gray faces.
Many people close their eyes and hug their loved ones or partners.
Everyone thought that the Ancestral Witch Bone Staff could only be used twice, and if they were found this time, they would be dead, so they tried their best to suppress their loud heartbeat, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Knock!
Boom!
Footsteps were getting closer and closer to them.
The terrifying and powerful aura penetrated the ground and enveloped everyone, making everyone's faces more and more gloomy.
But fortunately, the unknown creature did not find the food and did not feel the breath of the source stone, so it only stayed for a while and left, and the heavy footsteps disappeared one after another.
Ye Xi was afraid that the thing would kill him, so he didn't let everyone come out of the ground immediately, and let everyone continue to stay underground for a few days.
A large amount of water and food are placed in this shelter underneath, and special people are usually arranged to manage it, and stale food is often replaced, so the water and food are fresh and sufficient, enough for everyone in Xicheng to eat for a month.
If you save a little, it will not be a problem to eat even for two months.
But after two months, the food will be spoiled.
Day 6.
Everyone came out of the ground safe and sound, and once again worked diligently like ants to build Xicheng, repairing the buildings that had been trampled on by unknown creatures.
More than four months have passed, the river has been dug up, the lake is being washed and purified, the watchtower and the young tower have been built, and the city wall has been repaired to withstand the attacks of most of the beasts.
Only one of the largest Colosseums was left to lay the cornerstones.
I have to say that everyone is really working hard to build Xicheng, even if it doesn't go well, they will complete most of the task in advance.
