Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 317 Green Dragon
The scenery at the bottom of the canyon is spectacular.

The rugged rocks possess a unique and delightful charm.

White water flowed down from the cracks in the rocks, but before it could surge, it was caught by the strange rocks and gathered its strength again.

Yun Ce felt something was off, and after looking closely for a long time, he realized that the river was flowing north. The Qingshui Plateau was the highest place known to the Han people and the source of many rivers. Rivers generally flowed east or south, and those flowing west or north were extremely rare.

And this river flows all the way north.

Yun Ce felt terrible, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

The dog told Yun Ce with certainty that the Mountain Moving Master had disappeared from its senses, but Yun Ce still decided to head north.

Since these people from the Mountain Moving and Great Avalanche groups don't treat the Han people like human beings, he must retaliate once to prevent them from doing something even more outrageous to the world next time they come to the Han region.

After walking along the bottom of the canyon for a while, the canyon opened up, the cliff on one side disappeared, leaving only some solitary peaks standing firmly in the water, while the canyon on the other side became even more towering.

The river also makes a sharp turn here, flowing into the large lake on the left.

After walking along the lake for more than ten miles, Yun Ce determined that the lake was a barrier lake. The original river channel was blocked by the collapsed cliff, and the river water gathered on this flat land to form a lake.

The lake was clearly new, as there were no birds like gulls or terns on its surface, nor were there any fish fry swimming in groups near the shore. This inexplicably reminded Yun Ce of the massive hailstorm two days prior.

When the sun shines brightly, the Qingshui Plateau is quite a sight to behold. While it's already late spring north of the Great Wall, spring is just beginning to show its signs here.

Most of the vegetation here is short, and many grasses have already bloomed before their leaves have even grown. The vast majority of the flowers are a vibrant purple or blue, which Yun Ce thinks is related to the strong ultraviolet radiation at high altitudes.

However, the clouds here are truly white, a white with a hint of blue. When the wind blows away the thick clouds, the blue tinge disappears. Yun Ce felt that if he jumped any higher, he could touch those clouds.

Standing with his hands behind his back on the shore of the landslide-dammed lake, a gentle breeze caressed his face, slightly chilly. Gazing at the calm lake surface reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, Yun Ce tossed a small stone into the water. The stone splashed into the water, creating a ripple that spread outwards, gradually becoming calmer until it finally disappeared into the vast lake surface.

Yun Ce found another large rock, but Lianyi still couldn't go far.

He found an even bigger rock, and ripples spread across it...

In short, it wasn't very satisfying.

My gaze was fixed on the azure water, where solitary peaks stood precariously on the lakeshore.

"Aren't you bored? Why are you making things difficult for this landslide-dammed lake?"

"Haven't you noticed that this landslide-dammed lake is already in grave danger?"

"Oh, is that so? What's it to you?"

"I'm worried about the dam collapsing, which would be disastrous for people downstream."

"If that's the case, you should run ahead as quickly as possible to warn the people downstream to take shelter, instead of splashing around here."

Yun Ce lifted a massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds and hurled it at the precarious, isolated peak. The boulder landed at the peak's delicate base, knocking off some stones, but the peak remained unmoved.

"What are you going to do?"

"I suddenly remembered a ball game I used to play on Earth."

The dog glanced at the row of stone peaks, raised its tentacle, and said, "Bowling ball, what's the purpose?"

Yun Ce turned to look at the dog perched on his shoulder and said, "I feel terrible."

The dog lay on Yun Ce's shoulder, stretching all eight of its tentacles into the air. After a series of buzzing sounds, the dog said to Yun Ce with certainty, "Apart from the mountains and lakes, there are no powerful sources of information in the vicinity."

Yun Ce raised his arm, looked at the hairs standing on end on his body, and gave Gouzi a wry smile, saying, "Yes!"

The dog proudly declared, "There's no information source I can't uncover."

This time, Yun Ce didn't argue. He picked up a huge rock and smashed it down on the slender roots of the solitary peak once more. This time, the solitary peak seemed to sway slightly, but then it stopped moving again.

"Angle, make sure you get the angle right, smash it at this point." The dog's tentacles emitted a red light, and immediately a red dot appeared at the base of the solitary peak. Yun Ce lifted another massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds and smashed it towards that red dot.

Yun Ce's strength was considerable, and his accuracy was excellent. The boulder landed precisely on the red dot. This time, a large chunk of the base of the solitary peak was smashed off, and the once quietly standing peak began to slowly collapse forward.

The solitary peak, ten zhang high, appeared rather sluggish when it fell. Only when the top of the solitary peak struck the waist of another solitary peak did the true power of nature reveal itself. The sound was not loud, but the force was immense. When millions of tons of boulders fell into the water together, Yun Ce truly understood the might of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the water rippled and surged, turning the once clear surface into a turbid wave. The turbid wave seemed to have immense power, carrying a two-meter-high wave that crashed onto the lake shore.

As the waves on the other side gradually penetrated deeper into the lake and were about to disappear, a lone peak crashed into the water, pushing the already disappearing waves higher and further away.

One by one, the isolated peaks collapsed and crashed into the water. At this moment, the lake surface was like a pot of boiling water. Wave after wave crashed against the dam that blocked the river channel. At first, only some water overflowed, but as the waves piled up, more water overflowed. Gradually, a column of water as thick as a bucket shot out from the middle of the dam. After flying a hundred meters away, it crashed into the river channel downstream, which was only a trickle of water.

In the blink of an eye, the water column as thick as a bucket became as thick as a vat, and the clear water turned into a turbid stream.

Several more jets of water shot out from the crude dam. Before the water could hit the ground, the middle section of the dam collapsed with a roar. Immediately, the surface of the landslide dammed lake tilted, and raging waves swept down with the sediment beneath the dammed lake.

The waves in front were like galloping warhorses, which had not yet had time to raise their hooves before being overtaken by the waves behind. Before the waves could unleash their power, they were overtaken by the waves behind. The galloping steeds transformed into a giant beast that seemed to devour the heavens and the earth, and sped away along the ancient riverbed.

Yun Ce didn't know if he should hide, because that extreme sense of oppression came over him again.

This feeling was all too familiar. The last time he felt this pressure was from Ao Bing. Who would it be this time? Ao Ding?
Yun Ce attributed his terrifying experience on Earth to his own weakness. Now, Yun Ce felt that he was already very powerful, perhaps even among the most powerful group of humans. Unexpectedly, he was still powerless in the face of the dragon's might.

Eight dogs with omnipotent tentacles rolled off Yun Ce's shoulder, quickly curled up into a ball, and darted into a crevice in the rocks with lightning speed.

Yun Ce puffed out his chest, feeling quite proud that he hadn't been knocked unconscious by the dragon's might this time. He was preparing to find a high place to have another conversation with the dragon that was about to appear.

Unexpectedly, the dog's eight tentacles viciously pierced into his body, and his originally abundant internal energy immediately leaked out along with the eight tentacles.

Yun Ce could have broken free, but he ultimately did not struggle, letting the dog suck away every last drop of his inner energy, and his body fell limply off the rock.

The dog caught Yun Ce's body and decisively hid in the crevice of the rock, while it itself crawled into the Dragon Ball without hesitation.

Yun Ce collapsed to the ground, peering through the cracks in the rocks at the rapidly receding lake surface.

Suddenly, a large bulge appeared on the surface of the landslide dammed lake. As the water receded, a ferocious dragon head appeared on the surface. Although the dragon head could not express emotions like a human face, Yun Ce still saw a trace of confusion in the dragon's eyes.

Immediately, the giant dragon's eyes snapped open, scanning the surroundings warily. Upon seeing the dam break, the massive dragon body rose from the lake's surface and remained motionless, seemingly still pondering why the landslide dam had breached.

The dragon's color is cyan, or more accurately, bluish-gray, which is different from Ao Bing, who is a golden dragon. This thing looks more like a lizard.

The breach in the dam has been completely washed away, and the green dragon stands alone in the water. Not long after, the landslide dam disappeared, and now the dragon still stands in the mud.

Perhaps feeling foolish for standing in the mud like that, the Azure Dragon leaped into the sky, soared for a while, and then quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Yun Ce's body was completely gone, and he couldn't move at all. Gouzi, hiding inside the Dragon Ball, didn't even dare to make a sound.

Just as Yun Ce was urging his body to nourish new inner energy, a huge dragon head emerged from above the cliff, suspiciously gazing at the landslide dammed lake that had turned into a mud pit.

After a long while, its gaze fell on the collapsed stone peaks that had been revealed after the water receded. After looking at them for a moment, the huge dragon head suddenly retracted. Then, a dragon roar that made heaven and earth hummed rang out from the sky. The humming sound quickly faded away. This time, it should really be gone.

Just as Yun Ce regained some strength and was preparing to get up, a huge dragon claw descended from the sky, stomping heavily on the cliff. The cliff crumbled, and the falling boulders and large amounts of mud once again completely blocked the river mouth.

It seems this guy has a particular fondness for landslide-dammed lakes and wants to create another one.

The dog returned its internal energy to Yun Ce, and instead of decreasing, the internal energy increased considerably.

Yun Ce had lost interest in such trivial matters. He found a blue stone, sat on it, and watched the river slowly gather again. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before a beautiful barrier lake would appear here again.

This is a testament to the vicissitudes of life.

The dog climbed onto Yun Ce's shoulder again and looked at the world with him.

"In the face of absolute power, we should not show our strength, but rather our absolute weakness."
