"Crack."
The withered branch snapped under his foot. His dark brown leather boots landed slowly in front of a dark red pool of blood that was about to dry up.
Then, he stopped.
The town in the mist was still deathly silent. Mera looked up at the sky.
"It's time to go back, Big Sister. It'll be too late if we don't leave now. We're too close. We'll come back tomorrow to observe," Fran reminded her from afar.
Another man was inspecting the corpses of the soldiers that Urus had brought with him. They wanted to see if they could find any crucial clues.
"Got it," Mera replied. However, her gaze was still fixed on the town nearby.
"Luo Di, good luck …" She sighed. She turned around and walked quickly toward Fran.
Suddenly, a faint rumbling sound came from the distant horizon.
"What's that sound?" Mera paused. She turned toward the source of the sound.
"Water! So much water! "a White Eagle member shouted loudly. His expression was terrified, and his voice was trembling.
Suddenly, a possibility flashed across Mera's mind.
"Could it be …?" Her expression changed, and she dashed toward Fran.
After running for some distance, the mist thinned slightly. She immediately saw countless streams of water under the moonlight. They were boundless, bringing with them countless branches, soil, and rocks. They flooded the hills, plains, rivers, and forests. They were sweeping toward her in a frenzy.
Mera was greatly alarmed. She hastily looked in the direction of the water. All she could see was endless water.
"Damn it! It's a dam! Urus, that masked man, blew up the Snow Eagle Dam upstream! "
Mera punched the tree trunk on the side.
"We must find a high place to hide …" Fran said loudly.
"It's useless. There's no height nearby that's high enough to avoid the water!" The skinny man came over as well. He brought along five White Eagle members with him.
"As long as the water from this dam survives the first wave, the force of impact will lessen. We must think of a way! Otherwise, we'll definitely die! "Mera said sternly.
"What way? Oh my god, Urus, you b * tch! Why the f * ck did I run into such trouble? Oh my god! "Fran hugged her head and shouted," I can hide from the monster, but I'm going to drown to death! "
The expressions of the other members were also extremely unpleasant. However, out of habit, they did not shout. Instead, they looked at the commander, Mera.
In the past, Mera had been able to bring them through countless desperate situations. This was the key to the White Eagle's formation.
"The only thing we can do now is …" Mera looked in the direction of the town.
"Urus' objective is to destroy the town, but the power of the town won't be destroyed so easily. We … "
BOOM!!!
Before he could finish his words, a loud noise came from afar.
A few explosions came from the gray flood, and a large amount of water splashed high into the air. The explosion only occurred after the peak of the flood, which further increased the impact and speed of the flood.
"Damn it! It's a delayed explosion!! "Mera was no longer calm.
A few of the shorter hills were instantly washed away by the flood. There was still a little time before the flood reached them.
"Go! Enter the town! "Mera ordered sternly.
"But!"
"No buts! If we don't enter, we'll definitely die. If we enter, we'll still have a chance of survival! "Merat said decisively.
"You're right. Let's give it our all!" Fran stood up and followed Mera to the town.
"You're crazy!" The thin man was exasperated. However, when he looked at the rapidly approaching flood, he immediately felt chills down his spine. He had no choice but to follow quickly.
"According to the rules, we'll be safe for at least three hours after the first wave of attacks. Hence, we can only stay in the town for three hours. After that, we must come out, no matter what the situation outside is like," Mera explained as they walked.
"Also, it's best if we meet up with Luo Di and the rest."
"Why?!" Fran was puzzled.
"Because the monsters won't care how many of us there are. If we have more people, we might be able to delay them. After all, we have more tricks up our sleeves. However, if there's only a few of us, if we encounter a large group of monsters …" Mera explained calmly. "Although it's a little selfish, our only hope now is Luo Di and the rest. They must've made extensive preparations to deal with the death tomorrow. "
The few of them instantly understood. They could not help but quicken their steps. Mera's words gave them hope.
…
"Boom!"
"What's that sound?!"
Luo Di and the rest were walking away from the town when they suddenly felt a huge tremor. They immediately stopped in their tracks, puzzled.
The bespectacled old scholar, Esseinro, was sitting on a stretcher that was simply tied up with tree branches. His expression was solemn at this moment. He began to listen carefully to the faint rumbling sounds that followed.
"Urus's subordinates once revealed that he'd sent men to the dam upstream … Judging from the distance, the sound just now should be about the same as the dam's location. I'm afraid the situation isn't looking good … "
"Not good … It's not just not good … Look over there …" Suddenly, Luo Di pointed to the far left of the town in a daze.
The few of them looked in that direction. Very soon, they could vaguely see a huge expanse of gray through the fog. It was like a storm that could devour the land. It was rapidly approaching them.
The hills, the forest, the land, and the river. Everything was covered by that massive expanse of gray.
"My god …"
"God …"
The few of them were instantly stunned when they saw what was happening.
"Flood … It's a flood that's at least twelve meters tall …!" Esseinro's face turned ghastly pale. There was a hint of despair in his voice.
"The tallest hill around here is only seven or eight meters tall. There's no way we can find a place where we can hide from this flood! We're done for … We're done for … "Esseinro's entire body trembled. His body swayed like a sieve.
Luo Di's expression quickly regained its calm. He had faced countless life-or-death situations like this. Now that he was faced with danger, his brain began to churn. He quickly thought of all possible countermeasures.
However, no matter how he thought about it, there was actually only one solution now.
He suddenly turned his gaze toward the town behind him.
"Let's go!" He led the way and charged toward the town.
Lu Sheng did not hesitate either. He lifted Esseinro with one hand and slung him over his shoulder. He strode forward and followed closely behind.
The other two were stunned.
"We're courting death if we go in now! Luo Di! "one of them shouted.
"There must be other places where we can hide. We can look for a cave!" the other person shouted in fear.
They could tell what Luo Di was trying to do. He wanted to use the town's mysterious power to fight against the flood. After all, Urus's objective was to destroy the town. It was only an accident that they were affected.
However, even though they understood, they did not want to enter the town so soon.
Previously, they had only taken a detour around the outskirts in an attempt to check out the terrain. However, in order to avoid the flood now, they had to enter the center of the town.
To them, this was courting death!
Luo Di did not even look at them. He merely waved his hand. He increased his speed and charged toward the town.
"Ah Sang, follow me!"
The massive flood was like a huge gray curtain. It covered the land slowly and spread toward the town.
Luo Di and the other two were like ants. From afar, they could see that they were approaching the town slowly. However, compared to the flood, they seemed to be slightly slower.
"We must speed up." Luo Di realized this as well.
"It's alright. Watch me." Lu Sheng was just a little behind him. He grinned when he heard this, and suddenly leaped backward.
"Bam!"
Amidst a dull thud, Lu Sheng grabbed Luo Di with one hand and Esseinro with the other. He used the violent reaction force to levitate into the air. He flew more than ten centimeters off the ground.
It only took a second.
Luo Di and Esseinro only felt themselves rising into the air. Their vision blurred, and they found themselves in the middle of the town's white streets.
"S-so fast!" Esseinro's mouth was agape. His hair was blown back as if he had been electrocuted.
Luo Di's shock was no less than Esseinro's. The Gelailo Saber Technique that Luo Sang practiced had already reached a level that he could not understand.
He could clearly recognize every single move, but when Ah Sang used it, he had no idea what was going on …
"We're here." Lu Sheng put the two of them down gently. He swept his gaze across his surroundings. "The environment here doesn't look very good …"
Luo Di exhaled, and said calmly, "We have no other choice now."
At this moment, an indescribably loud rumble suddenly came from beyond the town's walls.
The ground shook violently. The houses around them began to shake as well. It was as if they were suffering from some sort of extremely heavy impact. Moreover, it was a continuous impact.
"Look!" Esseinro suddenly pointed at the roof that Lu Sheng had destroyed. It was rapidly recovering to its original state.
Lu Sheng and Luo Di saw this as well. Luo Di was expressionless, but Lu Sheng felt that this was rather familiar.
"What do we do now?" Lu Sheng looked at Luo Di. "This place doesn't look very friendly."
"It's alright. We're only here temporarily to seek refuge. We'll leave soon." Luo Di forced a smile.
"Why don't we look for a house? We can't just stay outside like this, "Lu Sheng suggested.
"Alright. Let's look for a higher place. " Luo Di was also thinking that if the flood could no longer be stopped, they might be able to float in a house that was taller.
The three of them walked along the street. They searched for a while in the fog. Soon, they found a four-story building that looked like a school.
Lu Sheng smashed the lock with a punch. He pushed open the metal door and walked in.
Luo Di supported Esseinro and followed closely behind him.
He looked at the nonchalant Lu Sheng in front of him. He was worried, and could not help but remind him, "Be careful, Ah Sang. This town is very dangerous."
"Alright. Don't worry. I'll be careful." Lu Sheng walked through the building's door casually. The three of them quickly passed through the dilapidated hall. They went up to the second floor, the third floor, and then the fourth floor.
Eerie, pitch-black corridors lined both sides of the staircase on the fourth floor.
"Let's look for a place here," Lu Sheng suggested.
"Alright …" Luo Di was already on full alert. He supported Esseinro with one hand and held his short crossbow with the other. He was ready to attack at any moment.
"Let's do it here." Lu Sheng quickly found a room. "It's near the window. The scenery should be pretty good."
He opened the door.
"Whoosh!"
A pitch-black tentacle as thick as an arm shot out from behind the door, heading for his face.
