Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 679 No matter the cost
"Remember, all I want is the Xiang River."

Xiaoqing's voice was like ice shattering in a cold pool, each word like a knife, piercing the hearts of all the aquatic creatures in the room. The coldness emanating from her phoenix eyes even made Li Yingqi, a decisive swordsman, feel a chill.

This cold demeanor was something none of the members of the Baoan Hall had ever seen, but the turtle was different; it had seen it before.

I've often seen this in Master Xu, so I understand very well that this instruction cannot be compromised in the slightest.

It grabbed Yu Bai, who was still in a daze, and whispered, "Fool, what are you waiting for? Can't you see that the King is truly enraged?"

Next, he led all the surviving commanders away from the Water Palace and began to reorganize the army.

During this period, the Zi River fought countless battles with other water systems. Even if someone wanted to be a lazy bum, they were pulled up and used as a battle-hardened veteran.

The missing commander positions were immediately filled.

Under the manipulation of Gui Da and several other leaders, the Zijiang aquatic creatures went completely mad.

The methods included threats, such as the Xiangjiang demons threatening to attack and wipe us out.

Everyone believes this, after all, the fight to the death happened recently.

"Avenge the King!" "Slaughter all the scum of Xiangjiang!"

It's unclear who first shouted the slogan, but it spread like a plague in the blink of an eye.

There are also reward mechanisms; the treasure vault is blown open, and large amounts of spirit stones and materials are distributed.

One by one, luminous pearls and pieces of blood coral were stuffed into the hands of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and even the mudfish spirit at the bottom of the hierarchy received three spirit-gathering pills.

In any case, all sorts of methods to kill off offspring were used, and even the spirits that could still move were infected by this frenzied atmosphere.

They gathered in one place within a day, and the demonic aura filled the bottom of the water.

But there it was—

The monstrous Yaksha wields a steel fork, the wave-swallowing monster dances with an iron whip; the red-bearded carp general wears golden armor, the iron-shelled crab general is clad in bronze armor. Each one has a blue face and fangs, bulging red eyes, spews foul winds from their mouths, and treads on black clouds.

A cluster to the east, a group to the west, all are underwater demons; a layer in front, a team behind, all are evil spirits of the river.

Shrimp soldiers surged like silver mountains cascading snow, crab soldiers marched sideways like iron armor breaking through sand. The catfish monster opened its mouth as if to swallow the sky, the turtle spirit shrank its neck, secretly channeling poison. The snake demon spat out its tongue, spewing poisonous mist, the clam spirit opened its shell, revealing a pearly luster.

They were truly a ferocious and ruthless division, a veritable gathering of demons and monsters across the river!
Xiaoqing looked at these demons and nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the Zishui River Basin, which had been forced to fight the most among the eight major water areas of Dongting Lake, they were indeed fearless.

Taihu Lake has enjoyed peace for a long time, and in terms of basic manpower, it is really no match for these ferocious demons who have eaten people.

The subsequent departure ceremony didn't require Qing Tangzhu's presence at all; Gui Da handled it perfectly.

The departure ceremony was shockingly rudimentary.

Standing atop a pile of blood vine remains, too lazy to even burn the tortoise shells, he brandished his command arrow and roared, "Slaughter all the Xiangjiang demons! Leave no one alive!"

The demons below erupted in commotion, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust. The elite troops of Taihu Lake stood behind their respective commanders, wielding the Gui Water Yin Thunder. To the aquatic creatures, those dark blue thunder orbs were more powerful than any military order—everyone knew that contact with them meant certain death.

"set off!"

With a command from Turtle King, the dark mass of demons surged forth like a flood bursting its banks. But after only an hour, a ruthless glint flashed in the old turtle Green Bean's eyes.

Whether it's the Zi River or the Xiang River, they are all enemies and must be eliminated.

“Too slow!” It stared at the winding waterway ahead and suddenly grinned: “Listen up, everyone! Abandon the waterway and take the land route!” The Zi River should have flowed upstream to the Xiang River, passing through Tuolian Port, Hengling Lake, and then heading north to the mouth of the Xiang River.

But King Xiaoqing's command consisted of only three words—Quick! Ruthless! Decisive!

Having grasped the core idea, Kame-sama decisively began to wage war with all his might.

"Go...go ashore?" The commanders were shocked. We are aquatic beings. But then a sharp pain shot through their backs. The commanders' eyes were filled with the will to die together, and after weighing the options for less than a few seconds, they chose to obey.

"Get ashore! Get ashore!" The commanders, looking fierce and menacing, began to drive their men ashore.

—On the west bank of Hengling Lake, thousands of aquatic creatures surged onto the land like a tide. Fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles, snake spirits, and clam monsters actually crawled out of the water, crossed the Xinfagou ditch, and rushed straight towards the Xiangjiang River!
This is a land march!
Although Xinfagou is just a small hill, the dozens of miles of dry road are like a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire for the aquatic spirits.

Unformed spirits, after being out of water for too long, would have their scales crack and their gills burn, and would collapse convulsing after only a short distance, turning into a pool of foul-smelling mucus. But how could the commanders dare to stop?

"Faster! Faster!" Turtle waved his command flag, his green bean eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Anyone who dares to hold me back, I'll chop him up first!"

"Kill!!!"

The carp spirit slapped its tail and leaped forward; the crab leader's eight legs were like knives, plowing furrows into the mud; the water snake spirit twisted its body, its scales scraping away sand and gravel... The entire Xinfagou was filled with a fishy smell, and along the way were dried fish corpses and bursting shrimp shells, like a bloody path paved with death!
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the Zi River, and Xiao Qing emerged, stepping on the waves. Her long, flowing green robes fluttered in the fishy wind, and the jade pendants at her waist jingled.

As the art of war says, "Swift as the wind, fierce as fire."

Everything hinges on speed! We must be fast enough to give the enemy no chance to catch their breath, so fast that they have no chance to get back up, and no time to calmly gather their forces and set up defenses.

Once it gets up and is ready to fight, it's very difficult to defeat it.

His phoenix eyes swept over the corpses strewn across Xinfagou in the distance, and a cold smile curved his lips: "Turtle Boss did a good job."

It transformed into a blue rainbow and plunged into the bottom of the water.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Xinfagou, the surviving aquatic creatures created an unprecedented miracle in Dongting Lake—they crossed this "mountain range" in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The corpses piled up at the bottom of the gully were over ten feet high, with broken claws of crab generals, fragments of fish spirits, and blood mud mixed together, gleaming eerily under the moonlight.

"The Xiang River! It's the Xiang River!"

It's unclear who shouted this first, but the previously exhausted demon soldiers suddenly went berserk. The carp spirit dragged its half-body forward, while the clam spirit crawled through the blood and mud with its remaining axe-like feet.

thump! thump!
The commanders were the first to jump down; they were not afraid of the land, but were forced to charge under the urging of the overseers.

"Report! The Zi River army is coming!" The Xiangjiang scouts scrambled into the cave.

"Bullshit!" The garrison commander crushed the rocks with his pincers. "There's not even a splash at the river mouth, did they fly over here?!"

Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

boom! ! !
The cliff on the east side of Xinfagou burst open, and countless aquatic creatures cascaded down like a waterfall!

The Xiangjiang demons were completely dumbfounded. Where did this madman come from? A water demon from land?

Once the Zishui demons recovered, the slaughter began.

"You old scoundrel, Crocodile Dragon!" Turtle Da shouted hoarsely, stepping on a river clam with its eyes rolling back, "You colluded with foreign enemies to assassinate King Blood Vine! Today, my Zijiang aquatic tribe swears to seek justice!"

Xiangjiang garrison: "...?"

Where the hell did you guys come from?!
