Although the great defensive magic formation was protecting the city, in many areas of Pu Ban City, the water was still six to seven feet deep.
The sky was covered in dark clouds. No sunlight could be seen, and the temperature had been dropping. The air was too humid, added with the bone-piercing coldness, and the heavy rain had been pouring outside. Pu Ban City never stopped drizzling.
The rain seemed to be nothing special, but it had also raised the water level of all rivers in Pu Ban City. Naturally, the water was an unavoidable problem.
Heng Xing transformed back into his original shape as a Henggong fish, swimming swiftly along the river. From time to time, he murmured curses about his brothers, who were always on bad terms with him.
Ji Hao stood on Heng Xing's head, quietly listening to his complaints.
In fact, the story was simple. It was nothing more than a fight between two brothers, who shared the same father but had different mothers. Unfortunately, Heng Xing was the loser.
Heng Xing's mother was a devil bonefish, and she was the emperor of the whole devil bonefish family. As a powerful being who lived since the prehistorical era, the marriage between a devil bonefish and a Henggong fish once shocked the entire Northern Wasteland.
Unfortunately, Heng Xing's mother only gave birth to Heng Xing, a son, before she fell in an inexplicable divine trial. Before Heng Xing grew up, the power of the devil bonefish family was taken over by his mother's brother. Therefore, Heng Xing became a poor kid who was neither loved by his grandmother nor his uncle.
Heng Xing finally grew up under Henggong fish's guidance. After he was powerful enough, Heng Xing was secretly sent to a new world by Henggong fish. In that world, he was responsible for raising water-kind spirit creatures and building up the strength of an army. Hundreds of years later, Heng Xing lost the opportunity to develop his own force in Henggong fish's family.
A few days ago, the portal opened abruptly. Heng Xing rushed into Pan Gu world with countless water-kind spirit creatures, but found that his father was missing. A group of cruel brothers of his immediately stripped him of his military power, and sent him thirty to fifty thousand weak spirit creatures, who hadn't even transformed into human shapes. Then, they kicked him out of the decision-making group, and put him in charge of patrolling the outer circle of the army.
Poor Heng Xing was wandering around with tens of thousands of water-kind spirit creatures. He didn't do anything serious, but ended up in Ji Hao's hands.
"Poor thing!" Ji Hao stomped on Heng Xing's head.
"That's why, I'm willing to do anything for the High Lord, but I must personally kill all my brothers!" Heng Xing gritted his sharp teeth and let out a creaking noise. His pair of bowl-sized eyes shone with a fierce light as he said, "I will eat them all, bite by bite!"
Ji Hao pursed his lips and remained silent. Eat my half-brother?
Alright, to human beings, this was a horrible thing, but to spirit creatures … Especially to water-kind spirit creatures, who could give birth to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of eggs at a time, brothers devouring each other seemed to be an instinct of survival of the fittest, wasn't it?
"Have a good appetite!" Ji Hao laughed embarrassedly, then stomped heavily on Heng Xing's head and said, "Faster!"
Heng Xing gave a resonant growl towards the sky. His body suddenly expanded, and a wave of water rose straight into the sky from under his body. Gradually, he rose to hundreds of meters high. The turbid waves roared loudly, carrying him swiftly to Emperor Shun's Town Hall.
Once the turbid waves rose, hundreds of heavily armored human warriors suddenly rose into the sky from all directions, looking at Ji Hao and the others with blazing eyes.
Ji Hao took out a bronze tablet from around his waist and waved it in the air. A strong power vibration spread out. All surrounding human warriors bowed to Ji Hao together, then darted away, leaving gusts of fierce gales and continuing to patrol the surrounding area.
Water was everywhere, and the air was especially watery. To Heng Xing, this was the perfect environment for him to release his power. Ji Hao heard the sound of water waves, and a strong gale roared across his ears. An hour later, Ji Hao arrived at the Town Hall.
Leaping down from Heng Xing's head, Heng Xing gave a resonant growl. His body squirmed and turned back into a six-meters-tall muscular man, proudly standing behind Ji Hao with his arms crossed.
Ji Hao turned around and looked at Heng Xing, who was still naked. Helplessly, he took out a large piece of leather and threw it to Heng Xing, then said, "Wrap it around your waist … Don't you wear clothes?"
Heng Xing held his head high, proudly pushed his crotch forward and said, "I, Heng Xing, am born with money. If I wear clothes, how can I hook up with those little spirit creatures? Hehe … Among our kind, the more money a family has, the more we have to show it! "
Ji Hao's face twitched, and so did the faces of all human warriors guarding before the Town Hall for a long while. They fixed their eyes on Heng Xing, then some of them subconsciously lowered their heads and looked at themselves, then turned their heads away.
Ji Hao's face darkened. His face in front of the humankind …
Throwing a heavy kick on Heng Xing's thigh, Ji Hao growled with a dark face, "Wrap it around your waist, or I will cut your thing off and feed it to dogs!"
Heng Xing's face darkened as well. He groaned and took over the leather, then roughly wrapped the mottled leather around his waist. He turned around and glanced at the water outside, then crooked his finger. Following his move, a long and thick water plant rose into the air and fell into his hand.
He chopped off a three-meters-long water plant with his hand, then tied it around his waist and tied it into a dead knot. Then, he chuckled and said, "I've been wearing clothes for so long!"
Ji Hao sighed helplessly. Heng Xing seemed to have a mental problem. No wonder he couldn't deal with his brothers, and was kicked out of the Town Hall after being deprived of his military power.
Taking Heng Xing, Ji Hao walked into the Town Hall. Tens of thousands of human leaders gathered in here, talking loudly like millions of ducks. One of them had an especially loud and sonorous voice. An especially muscular man stood in front of Emperor Shun, yelling and waving his arms.
"No, absolutely not! The ten-thousand dragons water-sealing magic formation was built by Si Wen Ming's father. You all saw it. Our humankind suffered so badly! "
"Therefore, we can't let Si Wen Ming handle the flood-control mission this time! We can't let him handle the flood-control mission. We have to choose someone else … And, we have to reward them according to their contributions. We have to convince everyone! "
Emperor Shun sat on the ground with a darkened face, without saying a word. Si Wen Ming sat beside him with a dark face as well, as if a thunderbolt was brewing.
The surrounding voices grew louder and louder. Many people had been arguing about who should be sent to handle the flood-control mission.
Hearing them, Ji Hao understood that this flood-control mission wouldn't be like Si Xi's. At the moment, a water-kind army was pressing down on the city, and the so-called flood-control mission was a war against the water-kind army.
A war was related to the power of a commander, who had to be responsible for the operation of the entire logistics system.
Military power, financial power, added with a great credit and reputation, whoever could take the lead in the flood-control mission and pacify the flood for good would be the best candidate for the next human emperor!
Who would be willing to give up such a great opportunity?
