Because of Xiang Liu Junior's death, those boa-men launched desperate attacks on Ji Hao's water city.
Under the protection of the Pan Gu bell, those boa-men launched desperate attacks. As a result, human warriors under Ji Hao's command had been eating grilled snake meat, stewed snake meat, and dried snake meat for half a month in a row …
The dragon blood pill was still emitting an intoxicating aroma on the altar. Countless water-kind spirit creatures were attracted by it, and launched desperate attacks on Ji Hao's water city. Waves of water-kind spirit creatures rushed up, and were killed one after another.
The water surface around Ji Hao's water city had turned into a hell of blood pools. Within the area thousands of miles in radius, the water surface was dyed red by the blood of those water-kind spirit creatures. Countless violent water-kind spirit creatures soaked in the blood for days and nights. Affected by the strong blood power released from the battlefields, their eyes turned glowing red, and they seemed to be possessed by the devil.
During these days, Ji Hao took out Yu Yu's portrait and introduced Yuan Li to Yu Yu as his disciple.
As a water ape, Yuan Li was able to learn a slight trace of the extremely negative power. This proved that Yuan Li was talented. Yu Yu happily took Yuan Li as his disciple. He also gave Yuan Li a copy of the 'Great World Scripture', which was suitable for spirit apes to cultivate. Meanwhile, Yuan Li sent Yuan Li a pre-world dragon staff, which was a pre-world spirit treasure.
Within a couple of days, Yuan Li had already reached the threshold of the 'Great World Scripture'. Every time he wielded the staff, a dragon roar would rise into the sky. The staff was protected by a hundred hazy dragon silhouettes, and could even trigger natural thunders to kill his enemies. Yuan Li held the staff in his arms all day long, looking at the staff and smiling foolishly.
No matter what, Yuan Li had already recovered from Snow's badly damaged body. Ji Hao silently cursed 'heartless monkey' in his head, then let him wander around in the water city. He didn't want to pay any attention to him.
In the headquarters tent, all elders and commanders had gathered here. Official documents sent from Pu Ban City were being passed around in their hands. From time to time, an elder would sigh, or a commander would yell out curses.
Ji Hao stalled the water-kind army, and the pressure on the flood-control army under Si Wen Ming's command was greatly reduced. They had already dug a few smooth river channels around Pu Ban City. Guided by the great formation formed by the river channels, the flood was still roaring on the ground, but the dark clouds in the sky were mostly gone.
Nowadays, in Pu Ban City, every seven to eight days, one could see the sunshine for four to six hours, which was already a great achievement.
What made those elders sigh and commanders curse out loud was the number of casualties of human beings recorded in the document. In many areas around Pu Ban City, entire clans or villages were swallowed by the flood, and human beings were either injured or killed.
Water-kind spirit creatures occupied rivers, rivers, and caves. Still, they had been harassing the flood-control army. Every day, the flood-control army had to fight against those water-kind spirit creatures. Every day, a large number of human warriors died on the battlefield.
What was even more infuriating was that not only water-kind spirit creatures had joined the water-kind army, but human warriors from Northern Wasteland clans as well. Most of the time, they had been serving as commanders.
Among water-kind spirit creatures, intelligent ones were extremely rare. Therefore, they mostly relied on their bloodthirsty instincts to fight.
However, under the leadership of those Northern Wasteland elite warriors, the water-kind spirit creatures' attacks became well-organized, not as disordered as before. Therefore, the casualties to the flood-control army were even greater. Over ten earls and marquises had already fallen into the encirclement of the water-kind army. Human warriors didn't manage to save them, and these earls and marquises died one after another.
Earl Hao, Bi Lin, who lived next to Ji Hao's Yao Mountain territory, was unfortunately encircled by the water-kind army. Fortunately, human warriors saved him in time and dispersed the water-kind army. But Bi Lin was injured by an unknown poison as well. His body was fine, but his soul was poisoned. As a human marquis, he had now become an idiot, who couldn't even take care of himself!
"Emperor Shun made it clear. Fortunately, we stalled the main force of the water-kind for the humankind."
Pointing at the north, Ji Hao said with a dark face, "If we didn't take proper measures to dissuade the water-kind from heading south, the flood-control mission would be even more difficult. But, as you all have seen these days, the water-kind spirit creatures from the north are endless. If we make even the slightest mistake, unpredictable disasters might happen. "
Hao Tao sat beside Ji Hao. He had been showing a dark face all the time, but now, he started talking slowly, "People, let's come up with a proper plan. Let's think about how we can teach these water-kind spirit creatures a heavy lesson."
Sighing slightly, even Hao Tao showed an imperceptible trace of tiredness from the bottom of his heart as he said, "To be honest, I don't want my descendants to live under the rule of those scaled water-kind creatures … Back in the ancient time, before the humankind descended to the world, the humankind became the food of wild beasts. Although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, I heard about it from some of our ancestors."
The tent fell into a deathly silence.
Back in the ancient time, newborn human beings were weak and powerless, and wild beasts all preyed on human beings. That kind of tragic scene, just thinking about it made people shiver all over.
If Gong Gong's plan worked, this vast world would become a world of water, and those evil water-kind spirit creatures would become the dominators of the world. By then, the humankind would be even more miserable than the ancient times!
"We have to figure out a way. How can we exterminate all these animals?" A Kuafu Family warrior commander thumped his own head. His heavy fists even caused a loud banging noise, which shocked everyone on the scene.
Abruptly, a magic poison user, who was sitting in a corner of the tent, with all kinds of patterns of poisonous bugs and fierce spell symbols embroidered on his skin, coughed loudly and said, "Marquis Yao, speaking of which, these water-kind spirit creatures raised the flood. In fact, they are courting death. Water is the best carrier of magic poisons. If we can make enough magic poisons … "
Another Maguspriest, who had been emitting a strong herbal aroma, frowned and said, "Elder Bug, magic poisons are a good idea. But hundreds of millions of water-kind spirit creatures have surrounded our city. How many materials do we need to make enough magic poisons to kill them all? "
Elder Bug chuckled, gritted his teeth, and murmured in a low voice, "All these years, I've been working on mixing plague and blood poisons to make mixed magic poisons … With a single drop of blood as a primer, I can poison a water-kind spirit creature to death. Then, my magic poisons will spread ceaselessly."
Everyone in the tent shuddered at the thought of it.
Ji Hao frowned, looked at Elder Bug, and asked in a deep voice, "Elder Bug, your magic poisons are so powerful … Why didn't you mention it before?"
Elder Bug spread his hands, helplessly looked at Ji Hao and said, "Marquis Yao … The only problem with this mixed magic poison I made is that I can release it, but I can't take it back. In other words, once the poison is released, I don't have an antidote, and I can't control its spread. It's possible … "
Ji Hao's face twitched intensely. He didn't expect that Elder Bug proposed such a deadly weapon, which was full of 'endless poison'.
