162: rat

Laughter erupted in the City.

Thump, thump, thump…

The sound of dumplings dropping into water echoed again from the surrounding dense forest.

“Ah!!!”

Luo Shan roared in anger.

“Good! Good!!!”

“No wonder you dared to be so arrogant, so you had this strange river, right?”

“Just you wait! If I don't kill you, I swear I'm not a human!”

“Dig faster for me! Faster!”

They were all Martial Artists, so digging was naturally not slow.

Soon.

Ten river channels, each hundreds of meters long and ten meters wide, were dug, with only two meters remaining at the interface with the moat.

The river channels were dug from back to front.

The river water was too strange; they dared not dig from front to back.

Everyone unleashed their killing moves, destroying the final two meters.

Whoosh!

The opening was made, and because the river channels were dug lower, the moat water immediately poured out.

In the blink of an eye.

The moat's water completely disappeared.

Seeing this!

Luo Shan was overjoyed!

The people of City 39, however, were greatly alarmed!

“Damn! How is this possible? The moat was really dug away?”

“It's over, it's over. Without the moat, we are no match for them!”

“No matter what! For City 39, for the True God, for Blue Star, we will fight to the death!”

“Fight to the death!!!”

Everyone immediately stood ready, without the slightest fear.

“Kill! Leave no one alive!”

Luo Shan shouted, then immediately led everyone to leap high, intending to jump into the City.

The people inside the City stood ready, their abundant Spiritual Qi already circulating in their Dantian and flowing into their weapons, intending to deliver a fatal blow!

Luo Shan finally leaped over the ten-meter distance.

They were even close to jumping into the air above City 39.

He wore a ferocious, bloodthirsty, and terrifying smile.

However!

Just as he was about to land.

Whoosh!

The sound of the river water overflowing suddenly rang out.

Luo Shan was greatly alarmed and quickly looked back.

He saw that the river water, which had flowed into the channels, actually gathered at an extremely fast speed, forming a Water Dragon that directly rushed towards them.

That Water Dragon carried the might to destroy everything.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were torn apart by the Water Dragon, their blood dyeing the Water Dragon red, turning it into a Red Dragon!

Unstoppable!

Luo Shan was so scared he almost wet himself. Seeing the Water Dragon coming for him, he immediately performed a 'Cloud Ladder' technique, stepping on his right foot with his left, and fled back at the fastest speed of his life.

The Water Dragon did not continue its pursuit.

After Luo Shan and his men returned, it went back into the river, transforming into a calm moat, flowing around City 39.

As for the ten dug-out river channels, they were completely filled in during the Water Dragon's rampage, as it swept up the surrounding earth and stones!

Thump!

The people of Stormwind City fell to their knees in fright.

“True God, spare our lives! True God, spare our lives!”

“We were wrong, we will never dare to be invaders again, spare us, spare us!”

“Mommy… I want to go home…”

Luo Shan was furious!

He rushed over and slapped two crying Disciples to death.

“All of you, stand up for me!”

“There are no immortals in this world at all, and it's even more impossible in the Lower City!”

“Anyone who dares to destabilize the military's morale will be killed without mercy!”

Luo Shan had always been proud in his life; even in Stormwind City, he was a top expert comparable to the City Lord!

He had never been defeated so inexplicably, so confusedly.

If he didn't get his revenge, how could he command respect?

How could he have the face to return to Stormwind City?

Moreover, Luo Shan had come this time to suppress a rebellion.

How could he just let it go?

However, he was not an idiot.

As things stood, he knew that to wipe out City 39, he absolutely could not ignore the moat.

He must thoroughly understand this moat before he could successfully exterminate the ants of City 39!

With this thought.

He rushed out, directly grabbing a scout by the neck from the dense forest and pulling him out.

“Cross the river!”

Luo Shan snapped.

The scout's heart shattered.

Why was he the most ordinary among the many scouts? Did he provoke him or offend him? He was climbing in the tree just fine, and he just pulled him down?

Heaven is unfair!

And he wanted him to cross the river?

He wasn't blind; he could see how terrifying that river was.

What was the difference between that and seeking death?

Even a mighty Martial God couldn't cross it, and he wanted him, a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, to cross?

What the hell was he playing at!

“No, no, no, I won't, I won't!”

The scout shook his head frantically, as if facing a formidable enemy.

“Won't?”

Luo Shan revealed a bloodthirsty smile, “Good!”

“If you don't cross, I'll skin you alive right now, pull out your tendons, crush all your bones one by one, and make you experience the most despairing death in this world!”

“Tell me, which do you choose, crossing the river or this?”

The scout wailed.

Oh heavens!

Can he not choose?

This is death either way!

The scout sobbed as he looked at the moat.

The river water was so clear that he could see the bottom at a glance. It was definitely the clearest water he had ever seen on Blue Star, even cleaner than the water he drank.

But at the same time!

This was also the most deadly water he had ever seen!

Like a rose with thorns!

Death either way.

Sticking his head out was one blade, pulling it back was hundreds of blades…

So, he naturally couldn't choose hundreds of blades.

With this thought, he tremblingly walked towards the moat.

Standing before the river water, he looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and sobbed, “Mom and Dad… Your unfilial son cannot take care of you in your old age and bury you!”

“Daughter… You must listen to your mother at home, Daddy… can't be with you anymore!”

With that, he gritted his teeth, determined to die, and took a step.

He enveloped his feet in Spiritual Qi and ran quickly.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the fifteen-meter mark.

“Hmm?”

The scout was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

How was he standing perfectly fine, with no abnormalities whatsoever?

Wasn't this just ordinary river water?

He even bent down and touched the water, feeling no electric shock, just a pleasant coolness.

Finally, he even jumped directly into the water and swam two laps happily.

What the hell?

He was fine!

He was really fine!

He jumped out of the water, his face full of surprise.

This completely different treatment astonished Luo Shan and his subordinates.

After all, they had personally experienced the power of this moat.

They absolutely did not believe that this moat would be so simple.

“Walk a few more steps forward!”

Luo Shan commanded.

The scout dared not refute and cautiously walked another ten meters, directly reaching the center of the moat.

He was fine!

Completely fine!

For the scout, this moat was just ordinary river water, with no obstacles whatsoever!

This scene almost made Luo Shan's lungs explode with anger!

Damn!

This accursed Jade Stairs actually played favorites?

Inside City 39, everyone began to discuss this strange scene.

“Wow, as expected of the True God's methods, this moat actually has friend-or-foe recognition?”

“The facts are right before our eyes, of course it does. The True God is indeed the True God; even a moat has its own sentience!”
