When the water flooded the area, the young man on the opposite hill chuckled.
Although he couldn't see clearly from afar, at least half of the enemy didn't go up the hill, which was similar to what he had expected.
Without half of their military strength, it would be very difficult for Dayao to take down these people from Tianjing Basin.
Unless they mobilized their military strength from other places.
They didn't have much military strength in the Chen Nation. Hong Wu couldn't be moved either as Great Xia was still eyeing them covetously.
In that case, only the Yun Nation could be moved.
This allowed Zhu Wuzhen to heave a sigh of relief.
However, there was something strange. Why didn't those people escape just now? Instead, they gathered together.
Very soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. He saw that there was a place in the middle of the floodwater with high waves splashing up, blocking his view. That scene was like boundless seawater crashing against a reef. He had seen this scene since he was young and had been deeply imprinted in his mind.
Could it be that there was someone who could block the floodwater like a reef?
Then, he laughed. Even Qi Zixiao could only protect a few people in such a flood. Just now, there were at least thousands of soldiers gathered there. Even the most powerful expert in the world couldn't do anything.
It was just that the splashing water was a little big … and he couldn't let it go.
…
At this time, Li Fu had separated the floodwater, and the people below were temporarily safe. Ren Baqian finally had the spare energy to look around.
What he saw was a vast expanse of water.
This side of the river was flooded, and many places on the other side of the river were flooded as well.
For example, the vicinity of the hill was flooded as well.
As for the distance, it seemed that the terrain was a little higher than here, so it wasn't a big deal.
Ren Baqian looked around and began to feel that the hill and the people on it were a little too much of an eyesore.
Suddenly, an idea came to Ren Baqian's mind.
He first turned to look at the empress, who was concentrating on Li Fu's rod. He didn't know if she was comprehending it.
"Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian called out softly.
He was afraid that there would be an epiphany in this world and that people would disturb her, so he kept his voice very low. If the empress was really comprehending the [God's Rod], his soft voice shouldn't disturb her, right?
"What's the matter?" he didn't expect the empress to immediately ask.
"Your Majesty, can you send me to the top of the hill? I have an idea." The empress glanced at him, carried Ren Baqian, and pounced toward the direction of the hill. Every time they were about to fall into the water, she would slap the surface of the water with her palm and bounce up high.
Pillars of water exploded on the surface of the river behind the two of them.
Ren Baqian searched around the hill and found his bag first. These things were in the custody of the bodyguards, and he had brought them along with him.
Then, he took out a few skunk bombs.
"Protector General Zong, can you shoot this thing at their hill?" Ren Baqian found Zong Shen, pointed at the hill, and asked.
"Sir Ren, what are you doing?" Zong Shen was stunned and didn't know what Ren Baqian wanted to do.
"Protector-General Zong, can you do it?"
"It's possible … As long as I tie this to the arrow, I will be able to step on the water and reach the river." Zong Shen muttered.
"That's good." Ren Baqian sneered.
Come on, let's hurt each other!
"Tie this to the arrow. When you want to shoot, pull out the ring and shoot directly. You must be fast! Don't delay. After pulling the ring, this thing can't stay in your hand for more than two breaths. "
Ren Baqian didn't want Zong Shen to end up like Shi Hu.
Zong Shen would fight him to the death.
"Alright, teach me." Zong Shen took the skunk bombs from Ren Baqian's hands and then asked someone to bring him a bow and arrows.
The bow that Zong Shen used was made entirely of metal. It was half the height of a person and the bowstring was as thick as a thumb. People would even believe that it was a city-guarding crossbow.
An ordinary practitioner wouldn't be able to pull it at all.
Zong Shen tied the skunk bombs to the arrows, changed his position, and adjusted his center of gravity. Then, he carried the arrows on his back and asked someone to bring two tree trunks that were as thick as an aboriginal man's arm. They were chopped into six sections and clamped between his arms.
Then, he leaped dozens of meters high from the hill. When he was about to land, he threw a section of the tree trunk at the landing point and did this.
After a while, Zong Shen arrived at the original position of the river. After jumping up, he nocked an arrow and shot at the opposite side.
He shot three arrows in a row.
After landing, he bounced up and shot another three arrows.
Then, when he landed, there was no place for him to stand on, and he plunged into the water.
However, this current wasn't a threat to him. In the blink of an eye, he jumped out of the water with two big fish in his hands and threw them back when he was about to fall into the water.
The two fish had already been pinched to death by him and were just enough for him to use as footholds.
After the two fish, Zong Shen fell into the water again and caught two more fish to use as footholds. Finally, he returned to the hill.
At this time, Ren Baqian was looking at the chaos on the opposite hill with a pair of binoculars and smiling happily.
Sure enough, the pain of others was the source of his happiness.
"Are you guys going to jump into the water … or endure it? It's better to endure it … I can still kill them again later … "
…
Two minutes ago, Zong Shen had attracted the attention of the other party when he jumped up.
Seeing Zong Shen throw the driftwood as footholds and jump toward them, the young man muttered to himself, "What are you trying to do?"
"It's Zong Shen, the deputy protector general of the Protectorate of the South. No matter what he's trying to do, he's only one person. The two of us are confident that we can protect Mister Ning, "the two elders beside the young man said as they looked ahead.
Although they couldn't defeat him, they could still escape with him. This person had an important status, and his military tactics and strategies were admirable. If they wanted to defeat the aboriginals, they needed to borrow his strength. No matter what, they couldn't let him die here.
"Thank you for your trouble, seniors. However, I don't think he's here to kill the general and seize the flag, right? "Mister Ning smiled.
After he finished speaking, Zong Shen jumped into the river, jumped tens of meters high, and nocked an arrow.
"Be careful, Mister Ning." The two of them pulled Mister Ning behind them and stared at Zong Shen in the air.
Then, three arrows shot into the crowd.
The other party didn't seem to have a target. One of the arrows wasn't far from him, but it wasn't aimed at him. Mister Ning didn't think that the other party's target was him because he was dressed like an ordinary soldier.
There weren't any important people in the other two arrows' locations.
"What is he trying to do?" This question popped up in Mister Ning's mind.
Then, the smell of a hundred years of aging and eighty-two years of old feces and other indescribable odors entered his nostrils.
Immediately, he felt as if someone had hit him in the head with a hammer, and he saw stars.
Then, he punched him in the chest, causing his lungs to contract, and he couldn't breathe in any air.
"Poison …" Just as Mister Ning said this word, he vomited. Then, the violent vomiting made him vomit out everything he had eaten. He even wanted to vomit out his heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Then, his vision turned black, and he fainted.
The faces of the two old men beside him turned green!
When they smelled this odor, they immediately recalled their tragic experience.
The smell was much stronger than before, and it was even more powerful.
"Not good, retreat quickly!" The two of them carried the fainted Mister Ning and fled into the distance without looking back. Halfway there, they fell into the water.
Mister Ning woke up as soon as he fell into the water. Then, he choked on a mouthful of water. When he was lifted to the surface and smelled the pungent odor, he fainted again.
As for the others, they felt like dying at this moment.
Their eyes were seeing stars as they looked at the flood around them.
To jump or not to jump?
They had originally prepared a water attack for the other party, but now, they were completely trapped here.
