Filling the Sea to Build Roads, the Rise of the Mountain Folk (23)
More and more Mountain Folk and spirits participated in the rescue operation in the south.
The originally surging tides were successfully contained, and the invading sea monsters and sea gods also became much more vigilant.
Because they suddenly discovered that their opponent had changed.
Those Mountain Folk who traveled south in all sorts of strange boats.
They may not be individually powerful, but they are able to inflict damage on sea monsters and gods with their strange weapons and tools.
Most importantly, these Mountain Folk came south to provide support were not aggressive or violent.
Whenever they arrive in a new place and defeat the local sea monsters and sea gods, they establish various military projects on the spot and steadily expand their territory.
From campsites to canals, to reservoirs, and various highly targeted water conservancy structures...
Wherever these Mountain Folk go, various buildings will spring up to minimize and curb the erosion of the land by the sea tides.
Among these are various Bronze Beast.
The most helpful material for Mountain Folk is undoubtedly the kind that can be thrown on the ground and quickly expand into a road: [prefabricated, eco-friendly composite recycled material].
That was the precursor to the [Xirang] developed by Li Boyang.
This is a biological material that combines corrosion resistance, sun protection, waterproofing, dustproofing, and even prevention of landslides and rockfalls.
Compared to simply copying the blue bricks, cement, and concrete of the previous life.
This biomaterial fully embodies the characteristics of the mythological era, possessing extremely strong regenerative and self-repairing properties.
Any vegetation planted on this material will naturally form the shape of a road.
It is precisely because of this special characteristic that, when combined with some plants that have tenacious vitality, even seawater can hardly cause devastating damage to these roads.
"The next step is to build canals and reservoirs to divert those waves."
Only by completely preventing those waves from gathering can we truly say we have a foothold on this land.
Stepping onto the mountain path naturally formed by grass and trees.
Li Jingshu was seen holding a scroll of the "River Chart," diligently searching for the key watercourse nodes in this region.
Behind Li Jingshu were Mountain Folk warriors armed to the teeth, each wielding a talisman launcher.
These Mountain Folk were originally hunters from various villages.
He already possessed the experience and ability to traverse mountains and forests and hunt mountain monsters.
At Li Boyang's call, these people joined Li Jingshu to form a special vanguard team, specifically responsible for surveying waterways and terrain for the subsequent logistics and infrastructure troops.
It is no exaggeration to say that without this special vanguard team charging ahead, the Mountain Folk would never have been able to stop the raging waves so quickly.
"Girl, we're almost out of the Xirang."
Just then, Li Yu, who had been closely following behind Li Jingshu, spoke up.
Li Boyang has not yet given this new material a suitable simplified name.
Under Li Jingshu's influence, "Xirang" naturally became the abbreviation used by the Mountain Folk for [prefabricated ecological composite recycled materials].
The Mountain Folk are absolutely enamored with this special soil, which allows vegetation to automatically grow into a road simply by being laid along the way.
In particular, during this operation, they almost completely depleted their entire stockpile of "Xirang".
"Did you use it all up so quickly?"
Turning around in surprise, Li Jingshu realized that her group had already gone quite far from the temporary camp.
There should be no survivors left in this area.
This time, it was another Mountain Folk hunter who spoke, and what he said reflected the sentiments of the vast majority of people present.
One of the missions of this elite squad was, of course, to detect water veins.
But on the other hand, it was also for the purpose of searching for survivors of the flood.
However, along the way, all that could be seen were hills and soil swallowed by the sea, and there were hardly any Mountain Folk or spirit corpses to be seen.
This means that this area has become an integral part of the South Sea, a hunting ground for sea monsters and sea gods.
Boom!
It was as if it were responding to everyone's thoughts.
Suddenly, a huge wave appeared on the horizon not far away.
Amidst those surging waves, ferocious sea monsters roared and howled as they surged toward the area.
"Oh no, it's another sea monster under the Night-Wandering God's command!"
Realizing what was happening immediately, Li Yu quickly removed the talisman launcher from his back, then aimed at the sea monster closest to him and pulled the trigger.
Thud! Boom!
In an instant, the bullet struck him between the eyebrows, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
The sea monster didn't even have time to let out a wail before it was cleaved into a pile of charred remains.
With Li Yu's demonstration, the remaining hunters also took aim and fired, fully demonstrating their skills as hunters.
Thud! Boom!
It must be admitted that these talisman launchers, specially manufactured by Li Boyang, are indeed much more effective than the talisman launchers originally used by the hunters.
Because compared to the talisman emitters that the Mountain Folk make by hand.
This latest batch of talisman launchers already possesses all the structure and functions of a modern firearm.
Especially the scope, which was entirely a "monocular telescope" created by Li Boyang single-handedly.
The Mountain Folk today simply do not have the ability to replicate it.
Also taking into account its complex structure, in order to prevent these talisman emitters from failing at crucial moments.
After much deliberation, Li Boyang finally decided to use the same bronze as the Bronze Beast as the main body and cast it as a single piece.
This directly resulted in these talisman emitters generally exceeding the weight limit.
Even if you simply use it as a stick to swing, it can cause great damage.
Fortunately, every hunter present had practiced the Breathing Method, making them far more physically robust than ordinary Mountain Folk, which enabled them to use this talisman transmitter normally.
Thud! Boom!
Extremely long range, precise shooting, and then there's the thunderbolt falling from the sky...
In just a few breaths, the Mountain Folk had already fired two or three volleys, launching almost all the bullets in the magazine.
In contrast, the sea monsters that roared in were almost completely wiped out, leaving only the waves crashing uncontrollably against the land.
However, Li Jingshu, who witnessed this scene, was not relieved at all. Instead, she watched the wave with even greater vigilance.
Based on past experience, these sea creatures were merely the vanguard of the Night-Wandering God's expedition.
Despite their large size and imposing appearance, their intelligence may not even match that of ordinary wild beasts.
Tumultuous!
Sure enough, almost the instant the sea monsters were completely wiped out.
A mysterious storm suddenly arose, whipping up waves that then formed a crimson, half-human god-like figure in mid-air.
That was none other than God of Xuwang Yezhong, one of the sixteen Night-Wandering God.
