Ji Hao raised his hand and quickly wrote something on a triangular jade talisman, then flicked his finger. Following his move, the jade talisman let out a thunderous noise and darted away, leaving a hundreds of meters long bolt of lightning in the air.
Over a hundred jade talismans like this were sent out. Ji Hao sent warning letters to Si Xi, who was in charge of the flood-control mission, and to Si Wen Ming, Yao Meng and the other senior ministers of the humankind, who were on good terms with him. Afterward, Ji Hao kicked hard on the toad, who had been crying on the ground, and forced him to take him to that so-called river eye.
White Dragon River extended for millions of miles, and was one of the largest rivers among the hundreds of marquises and earls around Yao Mountain area. Even the Cloud Dream Lake, which was under the control of Cloud Dream Dragon King, couldn't be compared to this river eye.
More importantly, White Dragon River had a large number of tributaries. Wherever the main river flowed across, mountains and cliffs were as steep as walls, thousands of meters tall. Because of such a terrain, White Dragon River usually flowed in groups, flowing for tens of thousands of miles between the valleys on both sides of the river.
But when the flood came, those water-kind spirit creatures pushed the waves, and the river water rose even higher than the cliffs on both sides of the river. The water submerged the cliffs, flowing out along the cliffs. The cliffs were boosted by the cliffs, and the damage caused by the river water was even worse.
The giant toad cried and wailed as it brought Ji Hao up along White Dragon River. Along the way, nests of water-kind spirit creatures, caves of water-kind creatures, countless differently sized water-kind spirit creatures, and even spirit creatures living in the woods around White Dragon River, had all been yelling and raising different sized waves, wreaking havoc on the river.
Ji Hao led his army and rushed all the way up. This was an important matter, therefore, he didn't bother to identify these spirit creatures anymore. Therefore, all captured spirit creatures were beheaded and thrown into the White Dragon River. The river water was dyed red by the fierce battle, and looked like a flowing river of blood.
Five days later, the mountain area in the front abruptly opened up. A lotus-petal-shaped mountain area opened up, with two enormous mountains facing each other like a screen. In the middle of the mountain area, a large area of water was covered in white mist.
This area was where the few main tributaries of White Dragon River converged. The mountain was steep and dangerous, and a few rivers roared down along the steep river course. The few rivers bumped into each other and created an especially dangerous river mouth in this part of White Dragon River.
Looking at it from a long distance away, Ji Hao saw that this area of water extended for tens of thousands of miles, with white waves rolling in the air. Other than the main river, three great rivers had been surging over from the left and right sides respectively. Six rivers merged into the White Dragon River in total, clashing against each other and creating a tens of thousands of miles wide whirlpool.
From a long distance away, Ji Hao could even hear the rumbling noise. That was caused by the water of the whirlpool rubbing against the surrounding mountains, grinding the rocks and sands on the mountains layer by layer, making the mountains as hard and shiny as diamonds.
The whirlpool in the eye of the river was definitely not this huge in the beginning. Who knew how many years it had been since the six great rivers had washed it, and who knew how many years this huge whirlpool had been grinding it, grinding all the mountains into fine sand, which was then carried away by the flood. That was why it had such a grand scene today.
What made Ji Hao frown was that, above this river mouth, a hundred and eight water-tank-thick iron chains reached out of the water. Six iron chains formed a group, and a total of eighteen hundreds of miles wide floating mountains were fixed in the air, less than three-hundred meters above the water surface.
The surrounding mountains were especially strong. These eighteen floating mountains were pulled to less than three-hundred meters above the water surface by the chains. The surrounding mountains were like screens, shielding these eighteen mountains from the water surface. If Ji Hao didn't walk closer today, he wouldn't even be able to discover these eighteen mountains.
Ji Hao didn't know how many years the river God had been working on these eighteen mountains. The surface of these eighteen mountains was covered in a thick layer of molten lava and iron liquid. The entire mountains seemed to be cast from iron, and had a great defensive power.
On the peak of the mountain, arrow towers were densely dotted with holes neatly arranged in rows. Countless mountain spirits were baring their fangs and waving their arms and legs, darting in and out of the holes. From time to time, some of them would climb up and down the arrow towers with strong bows in their hands.
At first glance, one would find tens of thousands of watchtowers on a single floating mountain. On each watchtower, tens to over a hundred water-kind archers were standing on guard. The number of archers on these eighteen floating mountains could even numb Ji Hao's scalp.
Ji Hao opened his erect eye of Dao of sun and carefully observed those bows held in those water-kind archers' hands. Then, his face turned dark.
Unlike the roughly made bows in Ji Hao's imagination, the bows held in the hands of these aquatic creatures were all sparkling with a faint glow of spell symbols. They were entirely cast from a special alloy, with exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious decorative patterns. These bows had a strong sense of art, which was clearly the special aesthetic style of Yu Clan nobles.
The bows held in the hands of these water-kind archers were all top-grade ones produced by the non-humankind.
Exquisite bows made by those non-humankind beings, even if they were sold to the outside world and weren't top-grade ones used by their own armies, as long as they were filled with enough high-grade magic crystals to power them, those bows could easily penetrate a foot-thick metal alloy with a radius of fifty miles.
Based on what Ji Hao saw, tens of millions of bows like this were made in this world. Except for Magus Kings and Divine Magi, no matter how many Senior Magi one had, if one dared to rush into the defense line formed by the eighteen floating mountains, he or she would be turned into a sieve by those arrows!
"What the hell!" Standing beside Ji Hao, Feng Xing, who had the best eyesight, popped out his eyes in shock, looking at those well-equipped water-kind archers standing on the eighteen floating mountains.
Ever since Yao Mountain territory sent out their warriors and started cleaning up those water-kind creatures, the water-kind armies Ji Hao and his people encountered were all miserable. Except for those Divine-Magus-level spirit creatures who had one or two unbreakable weapons, the weapons used by the other water-kind warriors were no different from those used by beggars.
Many of them simply picked up a driftwood from the water, gnawed the end of the wood with their teeth, then held it as a weapon!
Such simple weapons were the main reason why these water-kind armies couldn't even withstand a single strike from Ji Hao. Elite warriors under Ji Hao's command could kill them as easily as cutting tofu with a kitchen knife, without any difficulty.
However, the bows and crossbows held in the hands of these White Dragon River warriors were all top-grade ones. Their armors were slightly worse, but at least, each of them had a set of metal-forged fish-scale armors or plate armors, which had a pretty good defensive power.
Added with the defensive system of this place, if Ji Hao launched a frontal attack, not many warriors under his command could make it back alive.
"Where did they get so much money?" Shaosi, who had been managing the internal affairs of Yao Mountain City, was stunned a bit. Tens of millions of top-grade bows produced by the non-humankind, that would cost a fortune. White Dragon River God couldn't earn so many treasures even if he cut himself into pieces and sold them as scrap, could he?
Looking at the fierce river eye, Ji Hao had no choice but to send out tens of emergency messages in a row.
