"Today is already the third wave, and it seems that the situation is getting more and more serious. If this continues, I'm afraid that within three days, all the water rhino outside the city will be destroyed."
The official said.
"Without the Water Rhinoceros, without the help of the Shui Tribe and the Black Dragon Lord, the floods from outside the city would swarm in and completely submerge Hongzhou. At that time, everything here would probably be reduced to nothing."
A group of people looked there with heavy hearts.
"Water rhinoceros? What is going on? Aren't the water rhinos outside the city good?"
Chen Shaojun finally couldn't help but said:
"And why did the water rhinoceros cause such a big impact?"
"Mr. Chen has just arrived and doesn't understand the situation in Hongzhou. The eight giant water rhinos outside the city have been around for a long time and are the lifeline of the entire Hongzhou. However, due to the passage of time, cracks have appeared in various degrees in the eight water rhinos.
The trauma, among which the one in the southwest is the most serious.”
"These eight Water Rhinoceros are integrated into one body, and together form a large formation to protect Hongzhou City. Once there is major damage, the other seven Water Rhinoceros will also be affected, and eventually the entire formation will completely collapse."
A Hongzhou official wearing a red robe said.
"It's been so long, doesn't anyone want to fix it?"
Chen Shaojun frowned slightly and said.
"Young master, you think too simply. It's not that easy to repair Water Rhinoceros. Over the years, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works have actually been repairing them, but they are just minor details. As for the core technology of Water Rhinoceros,
, because of the long time ago, the eight water rhinoceros were all built more than 800 years ago, and the relevant technology has long been lost. Even if we know the problem, we have no way to do it. "
"In addition, more than 300 years ago, the imperial court sent great masters in formations to try to repair the eight water rhinoceros, but they only improved it slightly and were not completely eradicated."
Another Hongzhou official added.
"Compared to the threat from the aquatic tribe, the problem of these eight water rhinos is actually more urgent."
As soon as the voice fell, all the Hongzhou officials showed worried looks in their eyes, and even Chen Shaojun's father, Chen Zongxi, frowned slightly.
He naturally knew about the things here before setting off, but everyone present was a civil servant, so there was no way he could do anything about it.
How can a problem that has not been solved for hundreds of years be solved overnight?
The atmosphere in the square was oppressive and heavy, but Chen Shaojun's eyes flashed, but he was thoughtful.
"Hey, boy, aren't you good at formations? Can you fix those water rhinos?"
Xiaowei's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Shaojun's mind. It was not far away and had been paying attention to things here.
"It's hard to say, we have to look carefully."
Chen Shaojun said.
He and Xiaowo had thought of it together, but repairing the formation was not as simple as outsiders imagined. As a tool master in the fairy world, Chen Shaojun did not think that the eight-headed water rhinoceros could stump him. However, one moment later, the current
He does not have as high a level of cultivation as he did in his previous life, nor does he have as many materials in hand.
Even if he knows how to deal with some things, he may not be able to solve them with his current strength and cultivation. This is something Chen Shaojun has to consider.
All these require on-the-spot investigation.
"Let's wait for some time to discuss this matter. I have reported it to the court and hope that we can find a way to solve it."
Chen Zongxi said, looking very worried.
If the problem of the Water Rhinoceros Formation cannot be solved, then we can only find a way to evacuate the people of Hongzhou to the north. But it is difficult to leave their hometown, and with so many people involved, a population of nearly one million is not a small matter.
If this happens, I'm afraid it's the last resort.
"Father."
At this moment, Chen Shaojun suddenly stepped forward and spoke.
"Please allow me to go and find out what's going on with the water rhinoceros. Maybe I can find a solution."
His words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In an instant, countless people looked over, even Chen Shaojun’s father Chen Zongxi.
"You really have a way?"
Chen Zongxi didn't believe in Tao. He knew that Chen Shaojun was involved in martial arts, but he didn't know that he was also accomplished in formations.
"I don't know yet, but I'm willing to give it a try."
Chen Shaojun said that before the matter was completed, Chen Shaojun was still relatively conservative. After all, there were still many differences between formations and weapon refining.
"Go ahead."
Chen Zongxi was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"But be careful."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and quickly headed towards Hongzhou City.
On the other hand, Chen Shaojun stood there in a daze, looking at his father's back, with a warm feeling in his heart, but soon Chen Shaojun turned around and headed southwest.
"Xiaowo, let's go."
All the way over the city wall, he quickly headed towards the water rhinoceros where the accident occurred. With the previous strong shock wave as a guide, Chen Shaojun easily locked the location of the water rhinoceros.
Chen Shaojun took the small boat and sailed away at lightning speed.
Along the way, Chen Shaojun contacted the old man in gray and the water tribes hiding in the ocean outside the city, asking them to enter Hongzhou and cooperate with the court to retreat the floodwaters that entered the city and clear out the flooded areas.
These aquatic tribes are naturally able to control water, so with their ability, it is not a problem.
Soon, on the magnificent river, a black shadow like a mountain stood on the river in the distance.
Unlike the water rhinoceros in other places, this water rhinoceros was obviously divided into two sections, and under the impact of the energy torrent, even the surrounding water surface was rippling, obviously looking a little chaotic.
"Sir, I won't go ahead."
At this moment, on the boat, the old man in gray from the Shui Tribe suddenly spoke.
"Hey, why?"
Before Chen Shaojun opened his mouth, Xiaowo, who was squatting on his shoulder, suddenly asked with curiosity on his face.
"Young master, you don't know. Although this water rhinoceros is used to control water, it is also closely related to our water tribe. It's just not a good influence, but all water rhinos have a powerful ancient talisman inside. This
The seed talisman has a great restraining effect on our aquatic tribe. All aquatic tribes within ten miles will be affected, and the closer to the water rhinoceros, the stronger the influence."
"The water rhinoceros is used to protect humans, and the most likely threat to humans is actually our Shui tribe. Although Lord Shuifu has always been friendly with humans, it does not mean that all of us in the Shui tribe are like this, such as Yang Jiao...
…, Young Master has also seen it.”
"Although these eight water rhinos have caused great controversy within our aquarium, they have indeed played a role in balancing the relationship between aquariums and humans in Jiangnan for so many years."
The old man in gray clothes said.
"oh?"
Chen Shaojun was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a relationship between the Shui Tribe and the Water Rhinoceros, and he didn't have such a feeling when he passed by the Water Rhinoceros before.
——The Ice Demon God and Water Official Seal in his body are also powers of the water system.
"Is it because I'm human?"
Chen Shaojun secretly said, thoughtful in his heart, but it only took a moment for him to come back to his senses:
"Old sir, go ahead and leave this to me. I can handle it myself."
The old man in gray nodded, quickly jumped off the boat, dived into the water, and disappeared.
As long as this water rhinoceros doesn't come closer than five thousand meters, its impact on them is actually not very great and is completely within the tolerable range.
Watching the old man in gray leave, Chen Shaojun flicked his sleeves, blasted out waves of energy, and quickly accelerated towards the front.
Contrary to what Chen Shaojun expected, when he and Xiaowo arrived near the damaged water rhinoceros, the nearby river was densely packed with many small boats parked there, as well as several large official ships parked there, like
Stand out from the crowd.
Chen Shaojun just glanced at it without paying attention, and his attention quickly focused on the water rhinoceros in front of him.
Perhaps because the river bed in this area is relatively high, this water rhinoceros has relatively more parts exposed on the water. In addition to its high head and raised tail, more than one third of its back is even exposed.
"so high!"
Although he had seen water rhinoceros before, Chen Shaojun still felt a strong visual impact and shock from the real close contact.
Compared with the mountain-like Zhenshui Shuixi, which is more than a hundred meters high, the small boat Chen Shaojun was riding on was as small as dust.
uncanny workmanship!
This is Chen Shaojun’s intuitive feeling.
I don’t know how those who set up the eight water rhinoceros in the first place did it. This huge water rhinoceros is integrated into one body. Although it is more than a hundred meters long, its entire body is carved from a complete rock.
, looks majestic and spectacular.
However, despite this, the situation of the water rhinoceros is obviously not good.
When Chen Shaojun arrived at the tail of the water rhinoceros, he looked up and could clearly see that the surface of the huge water rhinoceros was covered with spider web-like cracks, like broken porcelain.
Each of these cracks is extremely deep, and some of them are pitch black, even going deep into the very depths of the water rhinoceros. People can't help but worry that this water rhinoceros may break open at any time, fall apart, and turn into a pile of useless objects.
rubble.
"Boy, look there!"
At this moment, Xiaowu stretched out his neck, and a tentacle on his head suddenly pointed at the waist of the giant water rhinoceros in the distance.
Chen Shaojun looked in the direction it pointed, and saw a huge black hole at a glance. At both ends of the hole, there were two broken marks that looked like they had been split open by a giant axe. They twisted all the way, starting from the waist of the water rhinoceros.
One side extended towards the other side, almost cutting the huge water rhino in half.
"Let's go up and have a look!"
Chen Shaojun's eyes flashed, he stepped on the boat with his right foot, and quickly jumped up. After dodging, like a kite, he drew a perfect arc in the void, landed on Shui Xi's buttocks, and then
The rabbit rose and the falcon fell, and quickly headed towards the waist of the water rhinoceros.
