Lord Tiaoyao Slacking Off (3/3)
Achoo!
Wearing Li Boyang's Red-Skinned Silk Fur Robe, Li Jingshu, who was running wildly ahead, suddenly sneezed.
Xiao Gui, who was peeking out from under the coat, was startled without realizing it.
"You have a cold?"
I told you to be careful!
"With such heavy rain, even with your physical condition, you might not be able to withstand it!"
A babbling voice rang in Li Jingshu's ears.
But she simply wiped her snot off without a care and responded with a smile.
"My brother is very busy right now; in his words, he's overwhelmed."
"He rarely needs my help, so what's a little cold to him?"
As she spoke, an invisible Body-Protecting Gang Qi emerged from Li Jingshu's body, instantly isolating her from the raging storm.
This also shows that although Li Jingshu is stubborn, she ultimately knows what's important and what's urgent.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Unlike the slow, sluggish pace of the main force behind them.
Li Jingshu's speed of progress can only be described as walking on flat ground, with long strides.
The muddy mountain paths soaked by rain seemed to disappear beneath her feet as if they didn't exist.
Occasionally, you'll encounter some quagmires that are difficult to circumvent.
Li Jingshu simply used her still-unskilled [Riding Clouds and Driving Mist] Divine Ability to skim over at low altitude.
In this process, the scattered Sleepy Bug served as a good guide.
There was absolutely no need for Li Jingshu to figure out the road and direction herself.
She just needed to follow the directions the Sleepy Bug were pointing in.
[Faster! Faster! Even faster!]
This was the first time he had received such a specific task from Li Boyang.
For this reason, the other party even gave her his personal Red-Skinned Silk Fur Robe, and Li Jingshu naturally did not want to disappoint him.
Moreover, this mission involves the life and death of Qiwa.
According to my younger brother's divination, I must reach Qiwa before the tide rises above my knees.
The torrential rain continued from the sky, and the waves on the riverbank surged endlessly. Despite being caught in the midst of this storm, Qiwa managed to get a good night's sleep, a rare occurrence for him.
Until he suddenly heard the hunter shouting, he immediately turned his head and looked down at the dam.
Unbeknownst to them, a new wave of frenzy had already surged forth.
The reinforced dam has been damaged by the waves and is showing signs of breaching again.
As for Yan Xiaojun, who should have been at the forefront of this wave?
At this moment, it was completely swallowed by the raging waves, and it was impossible to see what was happening.
"Quickly! Bring up all the usable soil and stones!"
He quickly untied the rope around his waist.
Qiwa braved the torrential rain and rushed towards the next breach in the dike.
In fact, even with Qiwa's early warning, the villagers did carry out emergency repairs and reinforcements.
However, the power of this wave far exceeded everyone's expectations.
When the waves crashed against the breach in the levee.
Bags filled with soil and stones were washed ashore on the embankment by the tide.
A villager who was repairing the dike was unable to dodge in time and was hit on the head by a piece of gravel, almost being dragged into the flood by the surging tide.
"Save them! Save them first!"
Arriving at the scene in time, Qiwa grabbed the injured man and threw him to the villagers who were still in a daze.
Then, Qiwa hesitated briefly before carefully taking out a pill from his pocket and handing it to the other person.
Remember to give it to him!
"Leave this place to me for now; you guys just need to handle the material transportation!"
Leading the charge at the forefront of the flood, Qiwa's honest face was now filled with determination.
The villagers of Li Household Village have a distinctively robust physique.
Like Sea-Calming Divine Needle, it stands firm at the crest of the waves, giving the villagers unprecedented courage once again.
"Listen to Qiwa!"
"Leave this to us; all you need to do is transport the materials!"
He quickly rushed to Qiwa's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Despite being a wolf or fox, the hunter expressed his determination.
This is his village, and he naturally wouldn't let an outsider guard it alone.
Several other Mountain Folk, who remained silent throughout but tied their ropes to wooden stakes, shared the same determination as the hunters.
Under the impact of such a fierce wave, their actions were tantamount to gambling with their lives.
Once this dam breaks, they won't even have the chance to be swept back by the waves.
After all, if someone is swept away and swallowed by a flood, and is a good swimmer with a bit more luck, there is still a one in ten thousand chance of survival.
The "do or die" mentality undoubtedly boosted morale once again.
"Yan Xiaojun!"
Seeing this, Qiwa could only turn away with tears in his eyes.
While hurriedly reinforcing the dike, they shouted at Yan Xiaojun, who had already been swallowed by the waves, "Kid, stop shouting! You'll attract big trouble!"
Suddenly emerging from the tide, Yan Xiaojun, who was gripping the edge of the embankment tightly with all four arms, showed a rare expression of tension.
"Trouble?"
Before Qiwa could react, Yan Xiaojun suddenly let out a mournful cry.
"Ah!"
The "water streams" that crashed against Yan Xiaojun left terrifying wounds, like sharp claws.
Yan Xiaojun's blood mingled with the floodwaters and surged back.
In an instant, the river water within a radius of tens of meters was dyed blood red.
"What?"
Seeing the bloody wounds on Yan Xiaojun's back, Qiwa realized that the other party had been attacked.
With gritted teeth and a stomp of the foot -
Qiwa didn't care about anything else, and instantly jumped onto Yan Xiaojun's arm, then ran towards his back.
"Kid, what do you want?"
Staring wide-eyed in shock, Yan Xiaojun never expected that Qiwa would be so reckless.
My own arm is not a smooth road.
Especially under these raging winds and torrential rains, a slight misstep could result in being swept away by the floodwaters.
"Of course, I'll help you get revenge!"
Drawing a forearm-length dagger from his waist, Qiwa displayed astonishing physical prowess at that moment.
In less than a few breaths, Qiwa had reached Yan Xiaojun's shoulder and clearly seen what had just attacked.
They were a group of piranhas hiding in the flood, excitedly gnawing at the torn flesh and blood.
"You're too reckless, they—"
Before Yan Xiaojun could finish speaking, Qiwa slashed at a piranha that was leaping high into the air.
Clang!
It was clearly a collision of flesh, yet it produced a piercing metallic clang.
Qiwa was caught off guard and almost slipped and fell into the water.
Fortunately, Yan Xiaojun realized what was happening at that moment.
He shielded the Qiwa with one hand and even sent the piranha flying.
But then, Yan Xiaojun regretted that she had reacted too quickly.
Isn't this obviously telling Qiwa that he's actually been slacking off all along?
