The fourth day of August

The day before the flood hit, the huge Xiling was already empty, and even the golden avenue, which was originally full of people, had lost its former hustle and bustle.

It's just that most of the clans still have the idea that the flood will recede and return to life in Xiling, so they also sent warriors to patrol near the clan land, for fear that the vicious homeless people would set fire.

It can only be said that the patriarchs of some small and medium-sized clans are optimistic about this flood, and they lack a clear understanding of the diversion of the Longjiang River to the Lingjiang River.

The mountains around Xiling have been occupied by clans, but the kind of mounds and mud and stone mountains are not a place to stay for a long time after all, landslides and landslides are the most prone to collapse in floods, usually a large flood can wash away many steep mountains, because the huge impact of the flood will make the external rock layers quickly break apart, and even some low mountains will be washed away by the flood in the continuous landslides.

Therefore, there are about three mountains that can really be called safe in Xiling, one is the Tang Mountains north of Xiling, the mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles can easily hide millions of people, and the majestic and magnificent North Mountain has been standing for thousands of years after years of erosion, and it has been the territory of the fox demon clan since ancient times.

Followed by the two mountains more than ten kilometers south of Xiling, Yelu and Changze, the intersection of the two mountains stretches for more than ten miles, and the center is the location of the core Nanling Beast Valley of the Mi family, although it cannot accommodate all the population of Xiling, but it can still accommodate a million people.

The third is Chixia Mountain in the east of Xiling, although it is the smallest, but this natural mine composed of Chixia crystal should be the strongest of the three mountains, if you ask which mountain has the least impact in the event of a monstrous flood, it should be this place.

In addition to these three places, there are many lonely peaks and dangerous ridges around Xiling, and there are thousands of cliffs, although there are many of them, they can accommodate tens of thousands of people at most, more than one sun.

Therefore, the number of families with 10,000 Ji always had to choose one of the three places to defect, but no one dared to make this decision first, even if there were the four major clans as an example, until the last moment, the patriarchs of Xiling had no way to make up their minds.

Unlike civilians who could hide and shiver on Chixia Mountain, the family had to choose a side between the Tang and Mi clans, and although neither clan had an open and honest announcement, this unspoken rule was placed there.

Maybe for a wealthy clan like Tang, Mi, and Xiao, they can rely on their own clan strength to survive a natural disaster that occurs once in a thousand years, but for the other clans in Xiling, if the flood does not recede after many years, they must prepare for the worst.

Xiling has a total of more than 2 million acres of arable land, the pasture is stretching for thousands of miles, but a flood will destroy everything, it is already August, as long as the flood does not recede in March, the land of Xiling is a frozen soil, the next year will definitely not be able to spring ploughing, which means that the flood is followed by a large-scale famine that affects the whole territory of Xiling.

Also because the family members practice martial arts, the energy consumption is greater than that of ordinary people, which also means that martial artists eat more than ordinary people. If this is really nothing in normal times, in the time of famine, it is really a matter of life.

And once the small family can't withstand the famine, it is the time for the Hao clan to make a move, Tang Mi and the two clans don't know how much food they hold in their hands and wait for the Xiling clans to fall, when the time comes, a bag of rice can be exchanged for a peak of the mortal realm, and a few bags of salt will be handed over to the mortal warriors, when hunger hits, the clan can only sell the clan warriors cheaply first, if the flood does not recede, it will be their turn.

Rather than compromise when there is no choice, it is better to take refuge first, at least to ensure an independent establishment. The four major families and the four small families in the west of the city saw this first, and then they couldn't wait to take refuge in the Mi family.

The reason is very simple, Mi has the most giant immortal birds in Longzhou except for the Royal Beast Sect, and the immortal bird Yuwei plus thousands of giant immortal birds can arrive in any city in the interior of Longzhou for replenishment within a few days, no matter how long this flood will last, Mi will never have to worry about his own grain road, this is the anti-risk ability of the top giants.

What's more, with Mi Shen holding the Blood Shadow Jade, the four great wang clans already knew that they couldn't win the bet with Xu Lao at all, so they could only pinch their noses and take refuge in the Mi clan, after all, once this evidence was passed on to the Xu clan in Yuanzhou, the three armies of the sage family could give the four families a package of extermination at will.

It can only be said that one wrong step and one wrong step, the four major families still paid the price for their greed after all.

And the heads of the four small families in the west of the city all died at the hands of Tang Sen, but they would not join the Tang clan if they had a choice, so the Mi family became their only choice.

Everyone has the heart of conformity, even the head of a clan is no exception, but they don't dare to act rashly now, because Xiao Jinlin, the strongest person in Xiling, the patriarch of the Xiao clan, has not yet made a choice.

After all, what can really affect the balance of the combat power of the two Tang Mi families in Xiling is the Xiao family, which is known as the third family in Xiling, especially with the "Dragon God Envoy" Xiao Jinlin.

The Xiling patriarchs locked their eyes on the Xiao clan who was ready to go, and they wanted to know what choice this Xiling No. 1 powerhouse would make.

Due South or Due North, Down or Mi?

"Chixia Mountain, let's go. ”

The old and firm order came from the Long Xiang chariot, and the large army of the Xiao clan marched in the direction of Chixia Mountain to the east, in a uniform manner, without hurrying or slowing.

And the heads of the families who watched the movements of the Xiao clan were also completely disappointed, Xiao Jinlin was Xiao Jinlin after all, and the tyrannical Xiao clan didn't care about this monstrous flood at all, and they didn't mean to stand on either side of the Tang Mi clan.

It's just that in this way, the problem is thrown back to the various family owners, the Xiao family's reserves are enough to survive this flood, and they don't have such confidence, so choosing to stand aside has become an almost inescapable choice.

There is still one day when the flood is coming, and even if there are more entanglements, I can only grit my teeth and admit it.

In the case that there are already Pan, Bei, Bai, and Wan in the nine wang clans, the three major wang clans of the Cao clan, the Pei clan, and the Wang clan announced that they would go to the Nanling Beast Valley, and for a time the limelight of the Mi clan completely overshadowed the Tang clan, and in the case of the Xiao clan as a wall watcher, the Mi clan who got seven of the nine wang clans almost got half of the Xiling power.

The heads of the families who were originally a little hesitant chose to take refuge in the Mi clan, only to see a large number of clan convoys heading towards the south of Xiling, and their might was incomparable.

But just when the entire Xiling thought that the Tang family's general trend was gone, the Wei family and the Zhu family took the whole clan to the northern mountains, and the heads of the family were shocked.

They really can't believe that a profit-seeking family like the Zhu family, which is full of copper smell, could let the Mi family go and go to the Tang family, you must know that the contemporary Zhu family head has a famous saying: "Where does good and evil stand? Of course, it is on the side where there are many people!"

Such a person chose the Tang family instead of the Mi family, I'm afraid it wasn't an undercover agent sent by the Mi family, right!?
