Chapter 417
If a fight really breaks out, maybe this time the two of us will have a chance to go up the mountain.
The two brothers exchanged a knowing glance, then casually chatted.
At the same time, they were observing the three rafts, looking for any possible superpower users.
However, superpower users appear like ordinary people; without using their abilities, it’s basically impossible to tell any special traits from their appearance. Chapters first released on.net
The waterway spanning five to six kilometers, if paddled, would take at least an hour at a slower speed.
Fortunately, the rafts were equipped with power devices, moving at a decent speed.
The fishing boat was also rowed by over a dozen people in turns, significantly speeding up.
Two hours later, in the darkness, Liang Yuan saw distant flickers of firelight.
Those flames surpassed the water’s surface, and in the dim light, a massive shadow could be seen standing in the water’s waves.
“We’ve arrived, Yangshan p>
On the fishing boat, Zhao Kai turned to shout at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan also smiled. Meidu Garden to Yangshan, over thirty kilometers, would take just half an hour by car.
However, this time by boat, it took a full two days and one night.
While part of the delay was due to a day spent at Henglong Building, various monster attacks along the waterway also slowed their progress.
But after all these hardships, they finally arrived at Yangshan as hoped.
Seeing the lights on the mountain, everyone showed joy.
“We made it, we’re at Yangshan p>
“I still remember climbing Yangshan with friends half a year ago. Who would have thought that after half a year, it feels like everything has changed p>
“Yangshan used to be a national 4A-level scenic spot, now it’s half-flooded p>
“Fortunately, we weren’t too far from Yangshan. This journey had too many dangers; I was really worried we wouldn’t make it p>
“Lucky us, we’ve arrived at Yangshan. As long as we stay on the mountain, we can stay safe; no matter how high the floodwater rises, it can’t drown Yangshan p>
Everyone smiled brightly, visibly uplifted.
It seemed that as soon as they climbed Yangshan, they could await rescue, not worrying about the flood anymore.
As the rafts got closer, the sound of water crashing against the rocks on the mountain could be heard.
The torrential rain poured down, water cascaded down the mountainside, forming waterfalls.
To think that this mountain never had waterfalls before.
The mountain was lush with vegetation, even more vibrant and robust than before the flood.
Even the formerly barren parts of Yangshan were now green and thriving.
Despite not seeing sunlight for half a year, the plants not only didn’t suffer nutrient imbalance but thrived, even growing rapidly towards the water’s surface.
Creatures in the floodwater were mutating, and so were the plants on the mountain.
They were quickly adapting to this new flood-ridden world.
Humans are so insignificant amidst the natural evolution.
“Boom p>
Before the cheerful residents on the rafts made it up Yangshan, suddenly a thunderclap sounded in the sky.
Under the pale lightning, towering watchtowers at the edge of Yangshan could be seen.
A group of people were drawing their bows and aiming, gazing coldly at them!
Though the thunder flashed past, the light was fleeting.
Everyone still saw it!
On the cliff near the water’s edge of Yangshan, people were holding crossbows, ambushing them!
Liang Yuan’s expression changed, instantly shouting, “Stop, stop p>
Zhao Kai also yelled urgently, “Stop, stop p>
But it was too late, the people on the mountain had already drawn their bows.
The next moment, continuous whistling sounds of arrows shooting from Yangshan direction!
Thud, thud, thud p>
“Ah p>
“Old Li p>
“Mom, Mom p>
In an instant, continuous arrows were fired, and the thudding sounds of impacts kept coming from the raft.
Some residents standing at the front were hit by arrows, letting out miserable cries.
Liang Yuan roared, his spiritual power exploding instantly, forming a massive telekinesis defense wall in front of Raft 1.
The thudding sounds were constant.
Numerous arrows kept striking the telekinesis wall.
Liang Yuan shouted, “Retreat, Old Ma, Cai Zhi, retreat now p>
Old Ma and Cai Zhi snapped back and quickly rallied the people, immediately pulling the propellers to retreat rapidly.
The raft swiftly churned the water, moving backward.
On Raft 3, Shi Haizhu roared angrily, transforming into a stone man, standing at the forefront, swinging his arms to desperately fend off arrows.
Yang Shenmin held his blades, turning them into several feet of golden light, slashing the incoming arrows forcefully.
On Raft 2, Gu Feng led the residents from Building 75, lifting paddles to shield themselves.
The thudding sounds on the paddles were like countless iron knocking against them.
Everyone screamed in terror, the superpower users began to intervene, hurriedly blocking the arrows.
Liang Yuan’s spiritual power formed telekinesis only sustaining a range of thirty meters.
He shouted, “Left and right rafts, hide behind me p>
“Quick, quick, Raft 3, paddle to the back p>
Yang Shenmin urgently commanded everyone, and the raft quickly shifted from a horizontal line to a vertical line.
This way, the contact surface facing Yangshan reduced, with Liang Yuan leading, his telekinesis wall blocking the front.
The arrow’s power significantly diminished, and other superpower users also intervened, helping to block the arrows.
Soon all rafts moved out of the arrow range, retreating a hundred meters away.
Liang Yuan immediately turned around and said, “Song Wen, Wang An, go check the casualties p>
Liang Yuan glanced at Zhao Kai’s fishing boat, seeing Zhao Kai using his frost superpower to form an ice wall, blocking the arrows.
