“Boss, we didn’t find any traces of the flood within a hundred miles.”
Outside Chen City, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. The Dragon Guards responsible for scouting the surroundings reported the situation to the commander of the Dragon Guards, Chen Dao.
Hearing this, Chen Dao nodded, then pulled out his sword and pointed to the north.” Continue to investigate. Don’t have any fluke thoughts. This concerns the safety of Chen City, so everyone must be cautious.”
“Yes, sir!”
Following Chen Dao’s order, the Dragon Knights scattered and continued to investigate the situation around Chen City.
Chen Dao, on the other hand, stood still on the spot, looking at the raindrops that kept falling from the sky. He said indifferently,”It’s been raining for a day and a night. I really don’t know when it will end.”
“If it continues to rain like this, the flood won’t be able to recede so easily.”
After letting out a faint sigh, Chen Dao urged his Flaming Mane Horse to gallop towards the north.
A hundred miles north of Chen City, near Feng Cheng, Chen Dao looked at the rapidly flowing water in confusion and subconsciously looked at Feng Cheng.
Through the city gate of Feng City, a wall of water was approaching him.
Chen Dao’s pupils constricted, and he immediately shouted,”The flood has arrived. Dragon Riders, retreat!”
Under Chen Dao’s command, the Dragon Cavalry quickly reined in their horses and galloped towards Chen Cheng.
On the northern city wall of Chen City, Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the Dragon Riders rushing towards him.
He was here.
“Quick, open the city gates and let the Dragon Riders in.”Chen Xuan quickly instructed.
As the door opened, the Dragon Knights entered. As for the commander of the Dragon Riders, Chen Dao ran to the city wall and reported the results of the investigation to Chen Yang.
“It’s coming. The flood is coming.”
When Chen Yang heard this, he slowly nodded and then looked at Chen Xuan.” Great Elder, give the order. Tell them that the flood is coming.””
“Yes, sir!”
Fifteen minutes after the order was given, a silver-white wall of water with terrifying energy gradually approached Chen Cheng.
When the martial artists guarding Chen City saw this, they clenched their weapons and swallowed their saliva in unison.
Whether or not they could block the flood would depend on this water-proof formation.
Bang!
The Aquarampart arrived at Chen City and slammed into the city wall with terrifying power.
With such a force, the entire city wall shook. It was as if the city wall would be swallowed by the flood in the next moment.
At this moment, a blue light flashed on the city wall. Along with this blue light, a blue barrier quickly spread out outside the city wall.
This barrier seemed to be extremely fragile, as if the demon general could break through it.
However, it was this seemingly useless barrier that blocked the endless flood outside the city wall.
The moment the flood touched the barrier, it was as if it had encountered its natural enemy and subconsciously dodged. It was this kind of dodging that allowed the water protection formation to protect Chen City from the flood.
“Hooray!”
Seeing that the water-proof formation had successfully blocked the flood outside the city, the warriors on the city wall erupted into enthusiastic cheers.
Yang Chen seemed to be affected by the cheers, and a smile appeared on his serious face.
As long as they could stop the flood, the rest of the trouble could be easily resolved.
Although Yang Chen felt much more relaxed, he still didn’t dare to slack off. His eyes were fixed on the flood, afraid that he would miss out on a demon beast and give it a chance to attack the water barrier.
“Everyone, don’t relax. Keep an eye on the demon beasts in the water. Don’t let them get close to the water-proof formation.”
“Bow and arrow guards, get ready. If anyone discovers a demonic beast, you must provide immediate support.”
“In addition, hurry up and move the wooden boats we built to the city wall. If there are more demon beasts in the water, we will inevitably go out of the city to fight.”
Yang Chen issued a series of commands.
Following Chen Yang’s orders, the entire Chen City began to move like a machine. The martial artists guarding the city each had their own duties and were ready to fight.
About two hours later, the first demonic beast arrived outside Chen City.
However, this demon beast did not cause much damage to the water protection array. The moment it appeared, it was discovered by the martial artists guarding the city.
At the same time, under the command of Chen Dao, the archers instantly turned the demonic beast into a sieve.
Before Chen Dao joined the Chen family, he was already at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. Now that ten years had passed, his cultivation had long reached the peak of Meridian Unsealing.
Because he did not have a cultivation technique above Meridian Unsealing, he had not broken through for a long time.
To be able to cultivate to Channel Unsealing Level Eight in his forties as a rogue cultivator, Chen Dao’s aptitude was naturally at Level Eight.
Now, he was only one cultivation technique away from the Meridian Unsealing realm.
What Chen Dao was thinking about now was to make one more contribution in this flood disaster so that he could exchange for a Meridian Unsealing Realm cultivation technique.
The Chen Clan had developed steadily for nearly ten years, and the clan had also plundered many Meridian Unsealing realm cultivation techniques.
These cultivation techniques were originally prepared for the clan generals, so they would naturally be placed in the scope of exchange.
As for the Chen family’s beast taming cultivation technique, they did not open the exchange. After all, this was the Beast Tamer Sect’s cultivation technique. It was already not easy for the Chen family to cultivate it. How could they allow their family members to cultivate it?
Back to the main topic.
After successfully dealing with a demonic beast, the atmosphere of the city guards rose significantly. The fog that shrouded everyone’s hearts gradually dissipated.
There were even martial artists who drove the wooden boat excitedly and fished up the demon beast corpses, saying that they wanted to give everyone extra food.
Seeing this, Yang Chen did not stop him.
Let them play. When the real danger arrived, they probably wouldn’t have the time and mood to play like this.
In the following period of time, water type demon beasts kept approaching Chen City, but they were all successfully dealt with by the city guards.
For three consecutive days, Chen City was in a relatively safe environment. Other than the flood that had spread to the same height as the city wall, everything seemed normal.
Yang Chen had a bad feeling as he looked at the flood that had calmed down.
What was going on? Where were the demonic beasts?
Logically speaking, there should be many water-type demon beasts arriving at this time.
After all, this flood was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these beasts.
Every demon beast wanted to take this opportunity to find some spiritual herbs to increase their strength.
As for the chance to taste the flesh of the human race, it was not impossible.
Naturally, the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Flower Clan would taste extraordinary.
However, the situation around Chen City was different from usual. He had seen some demonic beasts three days ago, but on the fourth day, he had seen nothing.
Yang Chen took a deep breath. If his guess was correct, a powerful demonic beast was approaching Chen Cheng.
It was also because of this demon beast’s existence that the other demon beasts did not surround them.
To be able to make these demon beasts so obedient, they were probably at least at the Demon Venerable level.
“The danger hidden in the water is finally about to appear.”Yang Chen clenched his fists tightly, and streams of spiritual energy gathered in his hands..
