Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 309 It's too harmful to the snake!
War is dangerous and perilous; the calamity is invisible.

Ever since learning about Li Yingqi, Xu Xuan had a bad feeling. No matter which version it was, he was a person who almost proved his Dao by killing, a child of destiny born to meet a calamity.

Such a person is usually accompanied by a calamity when he is born. He himself may be able to turn bad luck into good, but it is hard to say what will happen to those around him.

As it travels through the wind, it flings out a butterfly to shake people.

The chill in his eyes was unsettling.

"As long as I get there in time, I'll avert disaster!"

In Xin'an County.

The rain poured down harder and harder, and Turtle's heart grew colder and colder.

As a water-elemental demon with innate talent, I can sense that today's rainfall is the heaviest during the transition from spring to summer.

At its peak, the river can rise by about 17.5 feet, which is a significant amount of rainfall.

The main problem is that the river channel here has not been repaired; otherwise, the nascent huge reservoir downstream could perfectly accommodate this level of rainfall.

But the problem now is that the water level is rising too fast, so fast that it's making the turtles nervous.

It felt it needed to investigate.

Before they even left, they learned from their demon brothers that Meichuan, downstream of Shixin County, had been blocked by the Bone-Melting Serpent King's magic without any warning.

not good!

If the Xin'an River were blocked, it would overflow its banks upstream, turning the entire Xin'an County into a vast swamp.

In fact, a hydroelectric power station called Xin'anjiang was built somewhere downstream, which created the famous Qiandao Lake, with a water storage capacity of 178 billion cubic meters, demonstrating the abundance of water resources in the area.

Floods are a weapon that humans can use, let alone aquatic monsters.

Does the Bone-Melting Serpent King have the guts to do that?
In the midst of the chaos, Turtle began to inquire about what had happened. The river it was currently navigating was a tributary of the Xin'an River, and the water level was already close to the shore.

You could even see ordinary people on the shore carrying their belongings and running to higher ground, their cries particularly piercing in the rain.

"The Bone-Melting Serpent King said that one of its subordinates died in Xin'an County, and it is going there to demand an explanation."

Ok?
Even if its own father were dead, it wouldn't do this. How could a few of its subordinates do it? There must be some conspiracy involved!
In Xin'an County, the only one worthy of being plotted against is their own reckless king.

Gui Da hurriedly followed the other demons to Taiping Bridge in Shixin County, his ominous premonition growing stronger.

The county town was in complete chaos.

"The floodwaters are rising! The floodwaters are rising!"

"Run! The south gate is flooded!"

When the news of rising water levels first came, everyone remained calm. Many capital cities were built along the riverbanks, and each one was located on high ground.

It was terrifying that the water level rose to Taiping Bridge in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, meaning it was above ankle height.

If we wait any longer, the water will be up to our necks!

Chaos erupted in the city as many packed their belongings and prepared to flee. Families and convoys alike, laden with bags and bundles, surged toward the city gates.

They plan to temporarily evacuate and seek refuge elsewhere, such as to the mountains of Baitouwu in the north.

But when they reached the city gate, they discovered a terrible truth.

"The north! The north is flooded too!"

"There's no escaping it; the east and west sides are also flooded."

"Where are the government officials? Why haven't they shown up?"

"That dog Jia Ning, didn't he run away first?!"

Water comes from all directions, and from above it encircles the county town like an isolated island, while as far as the eye can see, it is a vast expanse of water.

Of course, even the King of Broken-Tailed Serpents could only maintain the scale of this one county. Its bloodline and cultivation were much weaker, but for ordinary people, this was already an insurmountable natural disaster.

The panic reached its peak, especially when the shadow rose from outside the south gate.

"What, what is that?!"

"A monster!! It really is a monster!!!"

On the turbulent river, a severed tail stirred up waves tens of meters high. A black-scaled giant python coiled up the waves, its massive body resembling a dragon emerging from the sea, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Its black scales gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the daytime, its eyes were like two burning charcoal fires, its densely packed teeth were arranged in two rows like steel swords, and its tongue flicked in and out like a steel fork cutting through the air, carrying a bloody and pungent smell that chilled people to the bone.

It slowly rose halfway up the water, its blood-red severed tail slapping against the surface, creating layers of white waves. The sound of its pounding made the city walls tremble.

Fallen trees and destroyed forests cause wolves and tigers to grieve; rivers and seas are stirred up, causing ghosts and gods to be distressed.

Dark scales obscure the Milky Way, and the land is shrouded in darkness, devoid of light.

This entrance was incredibly imposing, enough to make ordinary people kneel on the ground and wait to die. And indeed, quite a few people did kneel down.

When the many demons behind the king rode the waves and stood behind him, swaggering and showing off, everyone was filled with despair.

Even more people knelt down. At this point, what else could they do but pray to heaven?

Since the ancient times when many water demons were quelled by King Yu the Great, this is the first time that humans have seen this scene outside of ancient texts.

The nascent form of demonic chaos has emerged across the land, and an invisible calamity has descended completely.

Of course, not everyone feels fear when faced with a snake demon attack.

The red dot between Li Yingqi's eyebrows grew increasingly vivid, and the aura emanating from the short sword in his hand was becoming ever sharper.

Although she couldn't defeat the demon, it didn't stop her from wanting to kill it.

Master Mao was not afraid at all; he considered this kind of situation to be nothing.

He knew that his own strength might not be of much help. With his combat power, he could easily kill the little spirits that had been enlightened, but he was already struggling to deal with the transformed demon race.

"Miss Qing, this demon dares to flood Xin'an so openly. It must either have something to rely on or be a trap. Be careful."

"I don't know if it's too late to contact Young Master Xu now."

As he spoke, he threw out a butterfly.

The old Taoist priest was deeply worried, feeling that the creature in the water was merely taking advantage of someone's misfortune. He believed that if the two great strengths of his Baoan Hall were here, how could such a mere snake with a severed tail dare to be so presumptuous?

Xiao Qing raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "What do you mean? You think I, King Xiao Qing, can't hold my own?"

What you said makes sense, but it's too harmful to the snake.

In order not to lose face in front of her good apprentice, she decisively adjusted her posture and gave a cold laugh.

"Let's wait and see what this ugly creature with no tail can do."

"Moreover, this little demon is not steady at all, and is destined to never attain the Great Dao."

These words were spoken with absolute certainty, and their profound meaning made one nod in agreement.

Even Li Yingqi was impressed by his master, realizing that his master was such a steady and reliable person.

Inside the courtyard, people were still discussing what the other party was going to do, while the actors above were completely absorbed in their performance.

With demonic power, a fierce wind was stirred up, sweeping the river water down like rain.

The screams below were startled; the humans were filled with fear.

The snake demon spoke amidst the raging storm.

"How dare you, Xin'an County, kill my subordinate!"

"Only by handing over the murderer and sacrificing a hundred young boys and girls can this hatred be absolved."

"Otherwise, I will flood Xin'an County!!!"

Immediately afterwards, all the demons behind them roared in unison as the floodwaters engulfed Xin'an County, making the situation even more dire.

Dark clouds surged above the waves, threatening to topple the heavens.

"not good!"

The Taoist priest was greatly alarmed!

The other side used an open scheme, holding the entire city hostage to coerce Qing Guniang!
