He also mobilized a whole team of engineers from the Panlong Army and summoned more than a dozen sorcerers, all of whom were proficient in wood-type or earth-type magical abilities.
Everyone immediately stood up and followed him in a rapid retreat until they disappeared back into the jungle.
“We came here following the water source,” He Lingchuan said, running ahead of everyone at a fast pace. “Now we need to go back upstream.”
He had a good memory and found the lake he had passed earlier without much effort.
At the end of the lake is a waterfall, but the water volume is only 30% of that in summer.
It's worth mentioning that this is also a branch of the Womi River, but the water volume is not as abundant as that of the Womi River.
Seeing it, He Lingchuan felt much more at ease: "It's acceptable, it just takes a bit more time."
The Nine Nether Emperor possessed numerous magical artifacts and treasures, which He Lingchuan could not bring in, so he had to find a way to do it on the spot.
This lake connects to several streams, with the water volume decreasing in each stream until it reaches knee-deep in Fulugou.
What He Lingchuan had the sorcerers do was to use various supernatural powers to continuously raise the ground, first blocking all five streams in order to raise the water level of the lake.
He then returned to the tributary of the Womi River, the Tia River, by the same route.
The massive earthquake caused by the collision of Chaos with Panlong Secret Realm shattered the mountains along the riverbank. The debris tumbled down, forming a huge delta that cleaved the once wide river in half, reducing it to less than a quarter of its original size.
If the remaining river channel is blocked, the river water will be forced to change course and enter the fork, flooding downstream lakes in large quantities.
But the army came to fight, and everyone carried swords, spears, and halberds. The number of engineers was limited, and the shovels, picks, sandbags, and all the flood control and rescue fortification supplies they had were also limited.
He Lingchuan immediately ordered the engineering corps to begin filling in the river channel.
After being blocked by a landslide, the river was still about ten feet wide, and the current became quite rapid, making it difficult to carry out construction work.
"Fortunately, Chaos has already finished most of the work." He Lingchuan secretly calculated his own strength and thought it should still be enough.
He walked to the edge of the newly appeared delta, unleashed his Yuan Power, and leaped into the air.
The Tiger Wing Army soldiers behind him saw him transform into a red light, crash into the river like a meteor, and then disappear.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the river remained still.
Where did the general go? Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the fork in the road eighty feet ahead and shouted, "There! Look there!"
That was a fork in the river leading to the downstream lake; a large section of the riverbank had suddenly collapsed, as if something had hollowed out the ground underneath. The river water rushed in, filling the large gap.
The inlet of the tributary was thus expanded, resulting in a larger diversion of water.
The water flow into the congested river channel naturally decreases and is no longer so rapid.
The engineers were busy filling in the soil and settling the sand when they saw two red lights appearing on the bottom of the water, growing brighter and brighter, clearly getting closer and closer to the surface.
Everyone became more alert, and the soldiers on the shore gripped their weapons tightly.
Then, a huge creature silently emerged from the water.
This is a giant crocodile made of rock and mud, seven zhang long, with a wide and thick body. Even when it lies on the ground, it looks like a small hill. The thorn-like protrusions on its back alone are five chi high.
He Lingchuan sat steadily on its back, the Floating Life Blade embedded in its back, and red light spread from the blade all the way to the giant crocodile's entire body.
The soldiers were startled, then overjoyed, but they couldn't cheer out loud here.
This mud crocodile was created and activated using elemental energy.
"I'll put the mud crocodile into the gap as a base. Engineers, get ready!"
To fill in a riverbed, it would take at least a hundred people working hard for a long time. He Lingchuan was in a hurry and was also afraid that the large number of people and noise would attract unnecessary attention from enemy scouts, so he simply took matters into his own hands. After sinking to the bottom of the river, he directly used his Yuan Power to "create" a giant crocodile.
It rapidly erodes the riverbed at the fork in the river, growing larger as it grows, and the faster it erodes.
Then it digs, swallows, and grows again... and so on.
As a result, this large section of the riverbank and riverbed was successfully excavated, which was more than ten times faster than conventional manual excavation.
The Earth Mother is adept at creating various earth-based monsters. The crocodile demon that caused so much trouble for the immortals during the Battle of Jade Capital was a giant doll she sculpted from rocks, soil, and bones. As her long-term tenant, He Lingchuan has learned a great deal from her, making the creation of such monsters a piece of cake for him.
Limited by the concentration of spiritual energy in the Panlong World, he was unable to use many of his methods, but fortunately, the Yuan energy of the Panlong Army could make up for it.
Once the lake inlet has been widened, he will drive the giant crocodile back to the river delta, where there is a large amount of readily available silt.
He Lingchuan jumped off the mud crocodile, leaving only the Floating Life Knife stuck in its back, then pointed to the river: "Go."
The giant crocodile then swam into the water, much faster than its kind.
Upon reaching the riverbed designated by He Lingchuan, it lay down on the breach and remained motionless. The ten-zhang-wide riverbed was now blocked by it, with seven zhang of it lying across it, and half of the depth was blocked.
As for why He Lingchuan didn't make the mud crocodile bigger and thicker, the reason is simple: this is almost the limit.
In the current Panlong world, the power He Lingchuan can wield, whether his own supernatural abilities or Yuan energy, is no longer as great as in reality. He can sense the existence of a bottleneck. Not his limit, but the upper limit of the power he can use.
Using the mud crocodiles that had sunk into the river as a base, the engineers quickly filled the river with stones and sand. The collapsed mountains consisted of large boulders that could only be moved by the group using their elemental power and mechanical puppets, making them the perfect choice for filling the river.
In just over two quarters of an hour, the river was completely blocked. The river here turned into a deep pool.
He Lingchuan whistled, and a red light flashed in the river as the Floating Life Blade returned on its own.
Once the Yuan energy was withdrawn, the mud crocodile could no longer maintain its shape; dust returned to dust, and mud returned to mud.
However, its role as the foundation stone of the dam has been completed.
The inlet to the lake has been widened, greatly increasing the water inflow, and He Lingchuan's objective has been achieved.
Following the tributary downstream, everyone could clearly feel that the river's flow rate had increased.
When He Lingchuan returned to the lakeside, the Tiger Wing Army's sorcerers had already blocked up all the streams.
In the current Panlong world, the concentration of spiritual energy is not yet sufficient for immortals or cultivators to use various powerful supernatural abilities. Their direct lethality on the battlefield is limited, especially when facing warriors with strong elemental power. Therefore, at this stage, supernatural abilities are mainly used to alter the terrain of the battlefield to assist the army in attack, defense, or retreat.
The mages of the Tiger Wing Legion are all skilled workers, and they know exactly what they are supposed to do.
He Lingchuan instructed: "Don't make any noise, and don't leave anyone in open areas. Be careful of the eyes in the sky."
The crowd responded in hushed tones, "Yes!"
The key to winning this battle lies entirely in speed.
The earthquake has just occurred, and the landscape has just changed. Before the enemy can react, the Panlong Army must succeed in one fell swoop!
