Chapter 2644 Making Good Use of the Location
"Yes!"
The group hid in the woods behind the main force. Xu Zhiyu grabbed a branch from the side and drew a diagram on the ground, quickly recounting the battle that had lasted for more than ten hours.
Simply put, both sides have exhausted all their tricks.
They used all sorts of tricks, such as solidification techniques, earth-piling techniques, wood-moving techniques, covert attacks, and luring the enemy.
"We set several traps for Fox Zen to fall into, but he truly lived up to his name, being incredibly cunning." So the battle returned to square one, with both sides honestly attacking and defending.
The Solidification Technique is a supernatural power that has only been revived in the last decade.
After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revived, many energy-intensive but powerful spells became available, such as the earth-and-rock transformation spell. When civilians encountered landslides on official roads, they would call on the army for help. In the past, manual excavation was required, but now the army's sorcerers could use a transformation spell to turn the fallen rocks and accumulated soil into earth giants that would crawl away on their own, saving time and effort, although it was energy-intensive.
Similarly, given the narrow terrain of Fulugou, the attacking Beiga army could easily use earth-shattering magic to move or flatten the large rocks on both sides, leaving the Panlong army with no defensible terrain. Wouldn't that make the battle much easier?
Therefore, another supernatural power emerged, called the Form-Consolidation Technique.
It was created specifically to counter the Earth and Rock Transformation Technique in actual combat. It mostly exists in the form of talisman arrays or talismans, and can maintain the terrain within a certain range unchanged, so as not to be affected by the Earth and Rock Transformation Technique.
This spell consumes more energy, but that's no longer a consideration in large-scale battles.
The Panlong Army arrived at Fulugou first, and the first supernatural power they used was the Solidification Technique, which made the subsequent long battle of attack and defense possible.
Xu Zhiyu smiled wryly: "We even considered a water attack, wanting to flood Hu Yechan. But after inspecting the upstream area, we found that there was too little water, and we couldn't borrow any."
“It’s the dry season now.” He Lingchuan had also looked around. “Even the main river, the Womi River, is not as abundant as it is in summer. The tributaries here are so dry that they can’t even fill the Liushui Square.”
"Yes, behind us..."
Xu Zhiyu had just started speaking when He Lingchuan's attention was drawn to the strange phenomenon in the sky.
A strong wind blew from somewhere, parting the thick clouds in the sky, and He Lingchuan looked up to see a huge purple figure patrolling the heavens—
Chaos.
Has the sky opened again?
However, the chaotic creature swam very fast, and the sky was no longer a monotonous azure blue, but rather a hazy gray, with shimmering gold fragments in the center.
He Lingchuan frowned.
This kind of light is rare; it's usually seen when someone looks up at the surface of the water from underwater.
What does this mean? Is the Panlong World underwater?
Immediately afterwards, undulating mountains and jagged rocks appeared in the sky, their colors a hazy gray, making it difficult to see anything in the distance.
Then, a large black shadow streaked across the sky, shaped like a giant Kun (a mythical fish), and it shook its head and wagged its tail.
“That is…” He Lingchuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
If you look closely, each dark shape is like a swimming fish. Although they are small, when tens or hundreds of thousands of them are gathered together, they form a huge group that is like a giant beast.
Now, He Lingchuan could finally confirm that the Panlong World was indeed underwater.
This is likely because the Earth Mother Plain attached to the Great Square Pot is currently swimming underwater, and the sky that He Lingchuan looks up at is connected to the water of the Panlong Secret Realm, which in turn faces the real world.
Therefore, reality, the secret realm, and the Panlong world are all diluted by each other.
This is definitely not a good sign, indicating that the integration between Panlong World and the Secret Realm is becoming increasingly difficult.
Xu Zhiyu and the others followed He Lingchuan's gaze and looked up at the sky, but all they saw was a blue sky, and they did not see anything unusual.
"General?"
“No…” He Lingchuan was about to shake his head when the chaos in the sky suddenly flicked its tail and disappeared.
Just a few breaths later, everyone's feet suddenly trembled.
All the soldiers were skilled in martial arts, but they were all nearly knocked over by this shock.
"General, be careful!"
Without needing any prompting from his guards, He Lingchuan quickly moved several feet away, only to see the large rock above him break off on the spot and roll over the spot where they had been standing.
Five zhang away, the ground was cracked open, creating a deep trench.
"The earth dragon has turned over!"
The shaking continued; the ground swayed from side to side and from top to bottom, a classic earthquake.
Xu Zhiyu gritted his teeth: "Damn it, the earth dragon is causing trouble again!"
This battle is going to be tough, with a powerful enemy invading from the front and earthquakes causing disturbances from the side.
He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat: "Has the earth dragon been turning over frequently lately?"
"Ten months ago it happened every three or four months, but now it's been about half a month, but it's never been as loud as this one." The entire mountain forest let out a terrifying roar, and trees in many places fell down.
He Lingchuan knew what was going on, but focused his attention back on the war: "Send out scouts from the Beast Demons to quickly investigate the surrounding area."
Every change in terrain affects both sides in the battle.
"Yes."
He Lingchuan glanced at the sky again. The sky was still open, and Chaos had returned, continuing its journey.
But it was very fast and swam more aggressively than before.
This indicates that the friction between the Great Pot and the Panlong Secret Realm is becoming increasingly intense, affecting not only the Secret Realm but also causing frequent unexpected events within the pot's world.
The Great Square Pot once protected the Panlong World from the influence of reality, but now it can no longer do so.
Its steps toward returning from illusion to reality grew increasingly firm, and its power increased. However, the Panlong Secret Realm, personally crafted by He Lingchuan, was too sturdy. How could it be prevented from hindering the progress of the Great Square Pot?
He Lingchuan knew that this matter had to be put on the agenda quickly.
Well, but not now.
Before long, the bird demon flew back to report that many rock dams around Fulugou had collapsed, and trees had been broken.
There were forty or fifty such pieces of intelligence.
Only one of them caught He Lingchuan's attention:
That is the upper reaches of the Fulugou River, the largest tributary of the Womi River that flows through this area.
The strong earthquake just now knocked down the mountains along the river bend, and the originally wide river channel was mostly buried by earth and rocks.
He Lingchuan compared the map with the terrain map drawn on the ground by Xu Zhiyu: "Is it this river? This location?"
"Yes."
"Excellent, wonderful!" He Lingchuan clapped his hands. "Heaven is on our side!"
Xu Zhiyu and the others were still in shock: "What do you mean?"
"Water attack!"
"Huh?" Xu Zhiyu was taken aback, then looked at the map again and exclaimed with delight, "General, you're amazing!"
As expected of General Tiger Wing, his reaction speed was incredibly fast. The earthquake had barely ended, and he was the first to realize that the terrain changes were usable.
"You continue guarding the Fulugou Canal, I'll go upstream and try to resolve the situation," He Lingchuan ordered swiftly. "Speed is of the essence in war. Before Hu Yechan can react, this battle must be decided!"
"Yes!"
Xu Zhiyu bowed to him, then turned and returned to the front lines to fight, but this time he was full of energy.
He Lingchuan said to the people behind him, "Follow me."
