Before long, the water that was pouring into the house spread to the window, and a basin-sized vortex appeared on the water surface. Through the center of the vortex, I could vaguely see the compass on the magic box spinning rapidly - was it the magic box that was stirring the water
Just as I was about to take a closer look, the torrent of water had already poured into the house through the window. The whirlpool on the water was still there, but the magic box below could no longer be seen.
Before long, the floodwater below surged to about one meter above the roof. I couldn't help but command Guazier to shout to Lu Xiaoying. Xiao Baitang hugged Guazier's neck and whispered to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, I can swim, I'll take you with me later."
I was so anxious that I was spinning around in circles. This was not what I wanted to express at all!
I could see that although the interior of the manor was flooded, the water flow of several meters was nothing to the entire mountainous area.
There was no heavy rain or dam breach. Even if there was water, it would not cover the entire mountain, let alone accumulate on the top of the mountain. The only explanation was that a water source such as a barrier lake on the mountain suddenly broke its dam, causing the flood to rush into the manor. It just so happened that the inflowing water was blocked by something inside the manor, preventing the flood from escaping and spreading in the courtyard.
If you don't want to sit and wait for death, then you have to find a way to drain the flood.
This is what I wanted to express to Lu Xiaoying, but unfortunately Guazi didn’t have a bird’s beak that could speak, so he couldn’t utter a single word.
Lu Xiaoying was pinching his fingers quickly, and I turned my head to look at the Xuan Jingsi’s base. The people over there had already climbed onto the roof, and they had also assigned some experts to monitor the water flowing through the house.
Is the magic box over there moving too
As I was thinking, the house under my feet suddenly made a loud noise, and the entire roof was like a lonely boat in the raging waves, and it suddenly shook. Guan Qingyan, who was caught off guard, slipped and fell straight into the water.
Lu Xiaoying took two wrong steps and flew in the direction where Guan Qingyan slipped. Tiles as big as bowls flew left and right under Lu Xiaoying, and Lu Xiaoying grabbed Guan Qingyan's arm in time.
At the same time, a dense layer of bubbles appeared in the water under the eaves, and in the blink of an eye, half a face floated out of the water. The other person's head, from the tip of the nose upward, emerged from the water, and his messy long hair floated in the water.
Although the part of that person from the tip of the nose down was submerged in the water, I could tell that the person in the water was Guan Qingyan.
Lu Xiaoying, who was holding Guan Qingyan, was also slightly stunned.
Lu Xiaoying paused for only a second before he used both hands to pull Guan Qing up. However, Guan Qingyan, who was just held in the air by Lu Xiaoying, seemed to become as heavy as a thousand pounds, and slid down under the eaves with Lu Xiaoying.
"Sister Xiaoying..." Xiao Baitang and Shen Fengyin rushed out at the same time, grabbed Lu Xiaoying's feet, and pulled her back with all their strength. However, not only did they fail to stop Lu Xiaoying's downward momentum, but they were dragged downward by her.
Xiao Baitang and Shen Fengyin moved their feet repeatedly, trying to pull Lu Xiaoying back, but Nangong Ling sneered on the opposite roof, "It's useless. Once someone's shadow appears under the water, that person will soon sink into the water. Even if you have the ability to see through the sky and the earth, you can't stop them from entering the water."
Little White Sugar yelled, "Shut up!"
Nangong Ling seemed not to hear what Xiao Baitang said: "Now, either Lu Xiaoying lets go of Guan Qingyan and lets her drown in the water; or you let go of Lu Xiaoying and let them both fall in together."
When Nangong Ling said this, she suddenly laughed in a wicked way and said, "Oh, I forgot, Lu Xiaoying seemed to have said that no matter who of you dies, she will pay for your life. You should let go of Lu Xiaoying, she's going to die anyway!"
Before Nangong Ling finished speaking, Shen Fengyin freed one hand, pulled out a pistol from behind, and fired three shots at the opposite side.
Shen Fengyin didn't even aim before she drew her gun, but her three bullets were accurately fired in the direction of Nangong Ling. As the latter dodged sideways, the two warlocks standing behind her were immediately shot and fell to the ground, rolling into the water.
The two sorcerers who were unable to dodge were not injured in fatal areas. Even if they fell into the water, they should have struggled a few times. However, after falling into the water, they sank to the bottom like stones.
After a while, large spots of blood appeared on the water surface.
I was shocked again. The blood in the water was obviously not caused by a gunshot wound. Unless the two people were hacked to pieces underwater right after they entered the water, it would be impossible for the blood to cover about two meters.
Just as an ominous premonition was rising from the bottom of my heart, two pieces of human skin floated up from the water. The pale leather floated in the water like two lotus leaves with their roots broken. After a while, they began to bulge upwards. After just a moment, the two pieces of human skin were propped up by something and floated on the water like a floating corpse.
"Hehe..." I clearly heard a sneer from the ghost figure under my feet who was waiting for Guan Qingyan to fall into the water. Then the two corpses that were originally floating on the water stood up at the same time and sank straight into the water.
"Not good!" The fox demon Sun Yue shouted, "Shoot them down!"
The crossbow formation formed by the magicians of the Xuanjing Division immediately fired arrows. One arrow after another shot into the water like locusts, but the two bodies sank into the water without any damage.
The fox demon Sun Yue turned around and roared, "You guys, go into the water and take a look!"
The warlocks she pointed out were the men brought by Sun Xiaomei. They looked at each other for a few seconds, but no one moved. The fox demon Sun Yue said coldly: "Fifth sister, are your men going to disobey your orders?"
Sun Xiaomei shook her head and said, "Some orders, I think..."
Before Sun Xiaomei finished her words, a sorcerer suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. Before Sun Xiaomei's men could rescue him, the man had already rolled down the eaves and fell into the water. Sun Xiaomei said sternly, "Nangong Ling, how dare you poison me?"
Nangong Ling sneered, "You undisciplined dog deserves to die. Everyone that my sister pointed out just now has been poisoned by me. You can either wait for the poison to take effect and die, or get in the water. I promise that you will get the antidote when you come back."
After a moment's hesitation, the men jumped into the water one after another. Sun Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned blue, but Nangong Ling turned around and said triumphantly, "Xiao Baitang, you see, we can afford to waste time, but you can't. Give up! In a little while, it will be too late for you to give up."
"You fart!" Xiao Baitang yelled angrily and kicked on the tiles several times, and finally pulled Lu Xiaoying back a little.
Nangong Ling sneered again: "Why don't you just let go now? Who are you pulling? It's your love rival! As long as Guan Qingyan and Lu Xiaoying are both dead, no one will compete with you for Wu Zhao. Your brother Wu Zhao is yours alone, right? Let go!"
“Shut up!” Xiao Baitang roared and dragged Lu Xiaoying back desperately, “Sister Xiaoying, hold on! If you die, I won’t be able to face Brother Wu Zhao!”
I clearly saw that they were in danger, but I could not help them at all and was so anxious that I jumped up and down on the tiles.
"So touching..." Before Nangong Ling finished her words, a loud noise like an earthquake came from their side, and the roof they were standing on shook violently. During the shaking, a large number of tiles instantly broke, and the sorcerer standing on the edge of the eaves fell into the water with the tiles.
After Nangong Ling and the other masters finally managed to stand firm, ten floating human skins appeared on the water surface - the sorcerers who had just fallen into the water all died in a moment, and the scarlet blood instantly surrounded the house where Nangong Ling and the others were standing.
Lu Xiaoying, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment: "Guess what those human skins are going to do in a while? They're going to hit the pillars and shake you all off the house, or just knock the house down and let you all fall into the water."
I couldn't help but frown. Lu Xiaoying wanted to threaten Xuan Jing Division? Xuan Jing Division's experts had long surpassed Lu Xiaoying's team. Would they be afraid of entering the water
Lu Xiaoying quickly gave me the answer: "On land, you can indeed run rampant with your current manpower; however, without a single sorcerer from the Water-Suppressing Hall of the Five Elements Hall of the Xuanjing Division who specializes in killing aquatic monsters, you will be unable to move forward in this flood, unless you are willing to jump into the water and give it a try. Do you dare?"
The fox demon Sun Yue said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiaoying, what do you want?"
Lu Xiaoying said, "You were forced to the roof by the flood, but you still had the mood to put pressure on us step by step. This shows that you also know that the flood here is just because you haven't found an outlet. If you don't want to die, you'd better find a way to drain the water quickly."
The fox demon Sun Yue said with a livid face: "I..."
"Sister, wait!" Nangong Ling raised her hand to stop Sun Yue and whispered something in her ear. The latter immediately showed a ferocious smile on her face: "Prepare your bows and arrows!"
More than a dozen warlocks from the Xuanjing Division stepped out at the same time, took off the longbows behind them, bent the bows, drew arrows, and pointed them in the direction of Lu Xiaoying.
In the past, the fox demon Sun Yueming had a large number of experts under his command, but he did not dare to attack and kill Lu Xiaoying easily, because Shen Fengyin had a large number of firearms in his hands, which could easily detonate and kill him and the opponent together.
Now, except for the two pistols that Shen Fengyin carried with him, all other firearms were sunk in the water. Without the threat of firearms, Xuan Jingsi could point his arrows at Lu Xiaoying without hesitation. Unless Lu Xiaoying let go of Guan Qingyan, they would have no choice but to die.
Xuan Jingsi's long sword was about to be fired. Even if I immediately withdrew from Guazi'er's consciousness and asked Zhihui to notify the monks of Prajna Temple to come to the rescue, it was too late. No matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the opponent's rain of arrows.
Besides, I'm not sure whether Zhiyuan will stop it.
what do I do
