At the Pinnacle

Using someone else to do the dirty work? Liang Qu roughly guessed Yu Dayi's idea, but...

Standing on the deck and looking out, the disaster victims, arriving in fishing boats, gradually approached the fleet; some were carrying children, some were supporting the elderly, and some were weeping bitterly...

Rather than borrowing a boat, it's better to increase the quantity.

Let's lend it!

Hua Zhu County today is far from the powerful county it was a year ago!

As the boat approached the side, Liang Qu leaped off.

Yu Dayi stood at the bow of the boat, watching Liang Qu into the darkness.

Once the ship disappeared from sight, a deep sense of exhaustion welled up from my limbs and bones.

The servant waiting outside the door reacted quickly and stepped forward to help Yu Dayi up, hurriedly saying, "Be careful."

Yu Dayi gripped the edge of the boat, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ling Shixiong and the others below. He forced a smile, got off the small boat, and personally directed the fleet to transfer the disaster victims.

Ling Shixiong sighed and crawled into the boat awning, "Let's eat! Once we're full and satisfied, life is enough!"

The dark waves surged and roared.

The Fat Catfish quietly peeked out its big eyes, revealing its long tail as it swayed.

The water here is shallow, only a little over a meter deep, and further ahead is not enough to support the Fat Catfish to continue swimming.

Upon receiving a message from A Fei, Liang Qu unfolded a map, sensed Afei's location, and outlined an area with charcoal.

He compared this area with the map provided by Chai Shiqiao and found that there were significant differences.

The map provided by Chai Shiqiao only covers one-fifth of the land area of Jiangling County affected by the disaster.

However, the location of the Fat Catfish, if roughly drawn, is almost one-third of Jiangling County.

In just one day, the Black Water River expanded considerably.

"Yiling Town and Shui Tong Village were completely flooded, and Huangshi Village was also affected."

Between the two maps, Liang Qu circles out several towns and townships.

Not long after Fat Catfish reported that Cannot Move, news came from Fist.

They continued to advance in the direction given by Liang Qu, eventually reaching the boundary of the flood.

Liang Qu marked two black dots to indicate the water depth, and then let the beasts continue to swim along the bank.

Investigating the extent of the disaster is an extremely important task.

If we do a good enough job, knowing which areas are severely affected and which are less affected, and allocating resources reasonably, the efficiency of rescue can be increased several times over, achieving a comprehensive victory! If someone else were to do it, it would certainly be very difficult, as a county is such a large area that traveling back and forth would be extremely troublesome.

However, thanks to the Mental Link, Liang Qu could receive the location directly in his mind without needing to interact with the Water Beast!

Unmatched in its immediacy and accuracy!

As the charcoal pencils were used to sketch, a more accurate and detailed map of the disaster gradually emerged.

A dozen or so tall horses emerged from the woods under the cover of night, scattering fallen leaves in their wake.

The floodwaters poured down relentlessly, creating a sound like continuous thunder.

The horses were panting heavily, their chests heaving, and they became restless at the sound.

Wei Shao sat upright on his horse, surveying the breached Lord Qiu's Dyke, and also discovered the missing Water Standard Tablet.

His subordinate rode up to Wei Shao's side. "My lord, the Water Standard Tablet is gone!"

"Go down to the river, everyone, and find it for me!"

Yes! *6

The six people behind Wei Shao responded in unison.

Everyone present was Galloping Horse Martial Master. Even though the dam had burst and the water was rushing rapidly, they were not afraid. They took off their clothes and jumped into the river, scattering to search for the Water Standard Tablet.

a long time.

One person surfaced.

"My lord, we've found it! It should be the Right Water Level Stele!"

A second person emerged.

"We found this one too!"

Wei Shao tied the reins, stepped into the water, and swam with a tiger-like gait, appearing before his men in the blink of an eye.

The six people who went into the water were startled, not expecting Wei Shao to be so fast in the water.

This is no longer a tranquil lake or Great Marsh. To be able to swim so fast against the current—could it be another breakthrough? Little did they know that after the auction, Wei Shao suffered a crushing defeat in his swimming contest with Liang Qu, and was subsequently severely punished by Wei Lin, forced to swim back and forth between Pingyang and Shangrao in the Great Marsh a full thousand times! He was not allowed to come Shang An until he completed the task, and for almost half a month, he ate, drank, and relieved himself entirely in the Great Marsh! His originally masterful Water Tiger Swim Step had finally achieved a breakthrough after half a month of grief and effort, reaching a state of perfection! Wei Shao fumbled around for a while but couldn't figure it out.

The underwater area was dark, and the sky was filled with mud and sand, making it difficult to see the condition of the Water Standard Tablet.

"Carry it up!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd lifted the Water Standard Tablet, tied two people with ropes, and dragged the rest Shang An.

The heavy Water Standard Tablet crushed a large area of shrubs, and the mud on the bank could not withstand the pressure and slid into the water. Several large horses uneasily lifted their front hooves.

While Wei Shao and others were carrying the Water Standard Tablet, Yan Qingshan and others were also on their way.

One man and two horses, working day and night.

Further afield in Ping Yang County, a fleet of ships gathering supplies and personnel had just set sail.

Signal flags waved up and down as the ship slid out of the dock, creating a surge of waves.

Crowds continued to arrive.

The Fat Catfish swam forward, drowsy.

A scream suddenly came from the grove of trees not far away, startling the fish so much that its skin trembled and it looked around in panic.

"What are you yelling for? If you yell again, I'll throw you into the water to feed the fish!"

"Don't say that. It's more interesting to shout, but no one will come even if you shout your lungs out!"

The shadows of the trees swayed, and a red lacquered wooden bucket was wedged between two large trees.

A Small Sampan was blocking the front of the wooden barrel, and two men on the boat were dragging a woman who was struggling desperately inside the barrel.

The two men pulled and undressed her, but before they could completely pull the woman out of the tub, one of them suddenly stopped.

The sampan swayed and bumped against the wooden barrel.

The man who was pulling the woman out lost his grip and she slipped back into his arms. He cried out in alarm, "Help! I can't hold her down by myself! You want to go first? You can have her!"

"Fish... Fish Monster!"

His companion was filled with fear. The man looked up and found his companion frozen in place, his finger trembling as he pointed behind him.

The man swallowed hard and carefully turned around.

As night fell, a colossal Fish Monster, three zhang long, emerged from the water.

Rain Water flowed down his broad back and into the water, his large eyes gleaming with a bluish light as he silently gazed at the two of them.

The man's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.

Boom! The black tail strikes.

The grove of trees returned to tranquility in an instant.

After a long while, the woman, who was shivering inside the wooden tub, cautiously peeked out.

The sampan drifted along, unnoticed by anyone.

North.

The Fist- shaped handle wobbled, half of its body emerged from the water, and it exhaled bubbles.

Three young men, wearing straw raincoats, stood on the boat and called out to a woman struggling to survive in the water, clinging to a door panel.

"Auntie, let us play around a bit, and we'll pull you up! How about it?"

"Pah! You three little bastards! Have you no shame? What a waste of all the meals you've had at my house!"

"Why are you being so rude, Auntie? We only wanted you on the boat after we had eaten, so we could repay your kindness!"

The young man squatted down, reached out and grabbed a corner of the boat plank, and gently lifted it. The woman immediately lost her grip and fell into the water.

The other two youths burst into laughter.

After several rounds, the woman choked on the dirty water, her hair disheveled, and she had no strength left to struggle, so she could only beg for mercy.

"Stop! Stop it now! You're just playing around! Let you play around!"

The three young men, their hearts burning with desire, were about to pull the woman onto the boat when two giant pincers slammed down on them.

Bang! Bang! The two round heads exploded like watermelons, splattering red and white liquid.

The young man, who was squatting and lifting the plank of the boat, was drenched in hot water. He looked up in a daze and saw that his two companions were already headless.

The headless corpse swayed and fell into the water, revealing the enormous Crab Monster behind it.

Before the young man could scream in terror, another pair of pliers slammed down.

Bang! Half of the young man's body went limp, and he hung halfway up the edge of the boat.
