The Heavenly Eye System of the Mythic Age (13)
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
More and more ships and people are heading to the southern part of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Li Household Village, serving as a temporary base camp, naturally became quite busy.
All sorts of news and casualty information were quickly gathered here and then personally handled by Li Boyang.
Unlike the floods of previous years.
This time the situation is much more complicated, and the composition and number of participants are far greater than before.
Looking across the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range, only Li Boyang had the ability and prestige to carry out such a complex personnel allocation.
Most importantly, Li Boyang knew who was the culprit behind the flood and also knew where their headquarters were.
In contrast, this time, due to a lack of specific intelligence...
Li Boyang couldn't even pinpoint the exact identity of the enemy, let alone make any advance arrangements.
Taking a steady and methodical approach, while adapting to changing circumstances, is the best option under the current situation.
"If you ask me, we should just call them directly. There's no need for all this trouble."
Without a sound, Xiluo appeared beside Li Boyang, who was looking at the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land].
Through this scroll of "Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land," Li Boyang could see the situation of almost all the personnel, and thus make the best allocation.
It was precisely with the help of this scroll, the "Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land".
It was only through the rescue efforts of the ships, spirits, and deities that so many wounded were able to be saved in just one week.
It's not just Mountain Folk and spirits.
Some seriously injured deities, or those who were unable to retreat in time, were also among Li Boyang's rescue targets.
Apart from a small number of gods who genuinely wanted to protect their territory, the majority were members of a resistance army organized by the Undying Spring God.
Li Boyang even saw some Ghost God that had escaped from Ghost God Cliff.
"Look, just like this, we can fight our way all the way to the South Sea!"
Xiluo stretched out her claws and drew a straight line leading to the South Sea on the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land]. Her words successfully made Li Boyang roll his eyes.
Do you think you have the ability, or do I?
"Or do you think that the Undying Spring God is just a figurehead who has lived for tens of thousands of years?"
"You should know that even with the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron for divination, I can only predict an outcome that is neither good nor bad."
The world is full of countless possibilities.
Especially when the information is unclear, Li Boyang's divination will yield different results depending on the preconditions.
Thinking of this, Li Boyang couldn't help but recall that fleeting glimpse from back then.
Among those monsters that are dead but not stiff, a considerable number are hidden deep within the four seas— the South Sea is no exception.
If it were just one or two monsters like that, Li Boyang, who possessed Duobao, would naturally not be afraid.
The problem is, Li Boyang saw far more than just one or two monsters back then.
Having watched too many movies in his past life, Li Boyang knew all too well that capsizing in a ditch was never a low-probability event.
I can't argue with you; whatever you say, you're right.
After gently licking her paws, Xiluo decisively abandoned the idea of arguing with Li Boyang.
"The Mountain Folk priestess of the Kingfisher has awakened, and I have brought her to the village."
"If you have any questions or want to know anything, you can go find her now."
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang shrugged, not at all surprised.
"There's no rush, an old friend is coming back..."
"The intelligence he brings might be more extensive and crucial than that of the Qinghe."
As if to confirm Li Boyang's words, a light rain suddenly fell on Li Household Village, which was already shrouded in dark clouds.
The rain came so suddenly, without any warning.
Xiluo immediately frowned and turned her gaze towards the window.
Let's go! Let's go greet our old friend.
Li Boyang pushed open the door and stepped into the drizzling rain.
His Red-Skinned Silk Fur Robe shone brightly, barely keeping out the rain.
"I hate water..."
After muttering something indistinctly, Xiluo immediately followed.
Unlike Li Boyang, Xiluo quite roughly released the scorching Yuan Qi within her body, forcibly creating a rainless zone within three feet of her.
Rainwater that falls into this area is evaporated by the unusually high temperature, creating a misty, cloud-like scene.
A light drizzle had started to fall.
Qiwa also stopped today's "Breathing Method" training and announced the order to disperse to the children who had been eager to try it.
Although Li Household Village is still nominally a "village" today.
However, the scale of several thousand people settling there year-round has even surpassed the concept of a "town" in this day and age.
In addition, with the frequent appearances of outsiders during this period, the permanent population will only increase.
So when Qiwa walked out of the training ground and saw a strange female Mountain Folk standing at the entrance of the village, he was not surprised.
However, when Qiwa approached the woman with a hint of curiosity, that curiosity immediately turned into wariness.
Because the female Mountain Folk looked very strange, she was clearly not a normal person.
His entire body was covered in gruesome wounds, from which clear stitches could be seen...
The missing parts of the hands and feet were replaced by bronze mechanical structures, and the completely replaced fingers looked incredibly lifelike.
Most importantly, every time she breathes, Qiwa, with his amazing hearing, can hear the sound of gears turning in her lungs.
Until Qiwa saw the other person's eyes—those dim and lifeless eyes.
So you're a living person after all?
"I almost mistook you for a humanoid Bronze Beast!"
Walking slowly to the woman's side, Qiwa's way of speaking was as utterly devoid of emotional intelligence as ever.
Fortunately, the woman didn't mind this and recognized the Qiwa's identity at a glance.
"Li Jing, I've heard of you."
"The kids in our village all like you, especially those few who practiced Breathing Method with you."
Although her tone was calm and collected, the sadness in the woman's voice was clearly conveyed to Qiwa.
"They say that although you seem strict on the surface, you always secretly give them extra food..."
"If they encounter any difficulties while studying here, they can always help you solve them as long as they tell you."
Even when they were fighting alongside me against Tian Wu at the very end, they always reminisced about the days they spent studying and living in Li Household Village.
Gently closing her eyes, the woman's voice trembled with a hint of a sob.
"But I failed to protect them..."
"I'm the one who killed them. They shouldn't have died in a place like that..."
