The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 578
Chapter 578 Flooding (2)
More than two thousand cultivators might not be of much use if they were to fight, but it would be very easy to dig a river. All of them were powerful and had their own methods. Soon, a river ten meters wide would be drawn out from the river outside.
Lei Xingfeng and the others were waiting at the entrance of the mine, waiting for the river to pour down. There were specialized water control masters, so they weren’t worried that the mine wouldn’t be able to handle it after it was submerged.
This was the purpose of Lei Xingfeng’s search for a water Patriarch Daojun. He wanted to submerge the mine. If he couldn’t re-enter, the mine would have to be re-excavated. This project would be huge. After finding a master of water control, Lei Xingfeng could rest assured that he would dare to start flooding the mine.
Very quickly, the river water was led to the entrance of the mine, and then a large amount of it was poured down. A group of Patriarch Daojun stared covetously at the entrance of the mine.
Crashing water poured down, unable to fill it up for a while.
The bunch of Patriarch Daojun were still in a tight formation at the beginning. Who knew that they didn’t react after drinking it for a long time? Gradually, they relaxed. They were idle and had nothing to do. Everyone began to discuss.
Lei Xingfeng asked the water-controlling Patriarch Daojun, “When the outsiders are cleaned up, can you reopen the tunnels below?”
The man said proudly, “There is no problem. Even if it collapses, I still have a way to open the passageway. As long as there is water, there will be no problem.”
Da Lieba smiled and said, “Feng, this move of yours is too ruthless. Why would you think of pouring water into it?”
“Water is the simplest,” Lei Xingfeng said. “It can be smoked or smoked.”
“How can the smoke compare to water?” Dalei said tyrannically.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “What if it’s poisonous smoke? Isn’t it better than flooding?”
Everyone was instantly frightened, and the poisonous smoke could not be prevented.
Da Lieba shook his head and said, “I really don’t know why you have so many dirty tricks. It would be troublesome if anyone were to make an enemy of you.” He felt a chill run down his spine. With his knowledge and experience, it was basically impossible for him to think of such a move. Just this alone, he admired Lei Xingfeng very much.
Wu Yang said, “This way, we can avoid falling into a bitter battle and protect our subordinates. I think the idea of flooding is good.”
The sound of water rang out all the time. Although everyone was discussing, their attention was still focused on the dark entrance of the cave. They were all thinking that the nearby outsiders should have broken out of the encirclement. As long as they understood that the water really poured down, the only way to survive was to get out.
After two whole days of irrigation, not a single outsider rushed out of the tunnel entrance.
Patriarch Daojun took turns to rest. Fortunately, they were all high-level cultivators. Even if they didn’t rest for a few days, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
More than two thousand people had been tidying up the river, allowing the water to flow smoothly into the cave entrance. The next day, the water flowed even faster. Lei Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise, “I really don’t know how big this is!”
No one knew what was going on. Wu Yang estimated, “The bottom floor should be filled with water. I don’t know if it’s submerged in the second or third floor. If the second floor is also submerged, then all the outsiders should be forced to the top floor. Well, we need to get ready!”
At this moment, a black shadow emerged from the mine.
Patriarch Daojun had all been divided up, so when the black shadow rushed out, five or six Patriarch Daojun attacked together, instantly shattering that outsider. This was a Heavenly Monarch level outsider, unable to block five or six Patriarch Daojun’s fire.
One outsider after another rushed out. No one was able to block the gathering of Patriarch Daojun’s fire. Once the gathering of fire was formed, even if the opponent was Patriarch Daojun, it would still be shattered. Unless it was a peak-grade Patriarch Daojun, however, such a Patriarch Daojun would not hide in the tunnels.
The outsiders that rushed out one after another were killed. Not a single outsider was able to defend against them. They almost died when they came out. There was no chance of survival at all.
More and more outsiders broke out of the encirclement, Wu Yang and the others brought a bunch of Patriarch Daojun with them. They fought happily. As long as one came out, all Patriarch Daojun would be one move. They really had all sorts of attributes. The building that had originally covered the mine had been completely destroyed. The power of Patriarch Daojun’s fire gathering was simply too great. They had already paid close attention to it, or had destroyed the entire building.
On the fourth day, the river finally filled up the entire mine. At this time, no one came out.
Lei Xingfeng didn’t make a move, Just counting how many outsiders were charging out from the side, After calculating, he was also shocked. There were 1,300 or 400 outsiders, There were many Celestial Monarchs and Daojun-level outsiders among them. If two thousand cultivators were to go down to eliminate them, not to mention how complicated the terrain was, even if they were to set up a battle formation, he believed that even if his side could win, half of them would already be considered lucky. If they went down to eliminate them, not many of them would be able to survive.
Looking at the pit full of water, Lei Xingfeng said, “Stay here for a few more days. Keep pouring this water!”
Although the water in the mine was full, the surface of the water was gradually decreasing. If it was not filled with water, the surface of the water would quickly sink.
Wu Yang said, “We just need to take turns. There are four Daojun and ten Heavenly Monarchs. I don’t believe that the people below will be able to hold out for long.”
“Let’s go back and rest,” said Lei Xingfeng. “Send someone else to ask the other teams how they attacked the mine.”
There were countless mines in this basin, not just these two mines. Because this area was rich in ores, and most of them were very precious ore veins, there were many outsiders hiding in it. They could not escape, so they could only fight to the death with cultivators in the tunnels.
The news quickly came back, The operation to clear the mine was extremely difficult. Cultivators suffered heavy casualties. The other teams went down to fight against the outsiders directly. It was unimaginable to fight in a place like a maze. The number of people lost was enormous. However, the Mingze Alliance did not punish them this time. Instead, they increased their efforts to replenish the lost people.
The Mingze Alliance had still achieved its goal, eliminating the enemy and exhausting the extra strength.
Three days later, after killing a few more outsiders at the entrance of the pit, no outsiders came out. At this time, Wu Yang ordered that the water in the pit should be channeled out. The water Patriarch Daojun was standing by the pit. Lei Xingfeng and the others watched curiously.
Turbid water surged out of the cave. Patriarch Daojun stood by the cave. The watermark on his head emitted an invisible force. A large amount of water flew out of the cave like a fountain and fell into the river. At the entrance of the cave, Patriarch Daojun, an earth element, built a dam to block the original river water.
The water sprayed out even faster than when it was poured into the pit. Everyone admired Lei Xingfeng and the others. Although this kind of Patriarch Daojun might be slightly weaker in combat strength, it had already reached the peak of perfection when using water.
Within half a day, all the water in the mine was pumped out.
Wu Yang and Daliba immediately sent a large group of cultivators to explore. Many of them were Earth Element cultivators who were responsible for clearing the blocked tunnels and the collapsed mines. With these cultivators present, the entire mine would be cleaned up very quickly.
In just one day, someone came up to report that they had already arrived at the excavation surface.
Quite a few corpses of outsiders were found below. Without exception, they were all low-grade outsiders. When they were poured into the water, they didn’t have time to go up. They were drowned alive, and there was nowhere to escape.
Wu Yang and Daliba organized high-level cultivators to go down, and Lei Xingfeng followed these Daolords and Empyreans into the mine.
This time, there were clear signs in the tunnels. Along the way, it took seven turns and eight turns, and only took more than an hour to enter the lowest ore mining area.
When Lei Xingfeng reached the lowest level, he was secretly shocked. The ores here were too dense, and their eyes were filled with sparkling light. If others looked at it, it might just be dark ores, but in Lei Xingfeng’s eyes, it was completely different. This was a very precious ore, and the most important thing was that there were many of them.
The low-level cultivators had already been transferred away. A bunch of Patriarch Daojun, plus a few Heavenly Monarchs, and the others had all been assigned missions to leave the excavation area.
These Patriarch Daojun, One by one, their eyes shone. Just waiting for Wu Yang and Da Lieba to order the mining, This is their welfare. They have the right to dig for a period of time. Of course, there is a time limit. The less time you have to take the mine, the more time you will have to dig. If you have just taken it at the specified time, then you won’t have any time to dig. This is also the reason why there are so many teams attacking wildly, regardless of casualties.
Thanks to Lei Xingfeng’s flooding technique, the outsiders in the mine were wiped out in one fell swoop. This saved them a lot of time and allowed them enough time to dig for ores. Everyone looked very excited. This was the time to reap the harvest.
“This face is fairly narrow,” Lei Xingfeng said. “We have to broaden it. There are mines on both sides, and we’re going to dig in one direction each.”
This is destructive excavation. In any case, no matter how much you can excavate, it depends on whether you can hold it or not.
Although everyone had their own storage space, if the ore hadn’t been initially refined, it would have taken up a lot of space. A ton of ore might only be able to obtain a fist-sized material after initial purification. Thus, they could collect as much ore as possible, purify the ore as much as possible, and occupy less storage space in order to obtain more materials.
When Lei Xingfeng and Wu Yang were together, Wu Yang knew that the harvest from being with Lei Xingfeng was definitely better than digging it out for himself.
Patriarch Daojun began to dig towards the two sides of the excavation face. Everyone used their large virtual hands to grab the ore. A rumbling sound immediately came from the ground. Fortunately, there was no smoke and dust here as they had just passed through the water bubbles.
However, Lei Xingfeng did not stay here. Instead, he worked with Wu Yang to open a passageway. With Lei Xingfeng’s eyes, how could he dig together with everyone? That was too blind. Since he had come down, he would not collect ordinary ores when he saw such a huge ore vein. He would have to find something good.
