Chapter 308 Swamp System, Thunder Sword Otter and Turtle-shell Giant Crocodile (5000 words~)

The wind howled fiercely, and Shen Guanye glanced out the window.

The sky was dark, lightning flashed in the leaden clouds, and heavy rain poured down along the eaves, turning into thick and dense rain feet, falling on the ground.

It's raining again.

Shen Guanye thought to himself.

The Nanyang Continent has entered the rainy season, and even the southernmost provinces of Tianxia, ​​such as Chongling Lord and Po Warlord, have also experienced abundant rain.

According to people from the Miaogao and Lishan tribes, the Jinlan River will flood during the rainy season every year, as will the tributary where the territory is located.

However, when the town was built, the problem of flooding during the rainy season was taken into consideration, and with many water gods sitting in charge, it was not a big problem.

Shen Guanye looked at the raindrops outside the window and thought to himself:
Fortunately, when building houses, people from the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Construction have fully considered climate factors, and the designed houses are particularly suitable for areas with a lot of rain, otherwise it would be another troublesome matter.

Heavy rain can easily extinguish the idea of ​​going out to work in people's hearts. They just want to stay at home, cook tea by the stove, light a warm stove, and watch the rain outside and the heavy rain.

The rain was so heavy that Shen Guanye was a little lazy and didn't want to go out.

……

The waves were turbulent, and the Xianan River, which had swollen a lot, was rolling away. The flooded river looked fast and muddy, carrying a large amount of sediment, branches, leaves, animals and even the corpses of heroic spirits flowing down from it.

If you look at it from a high altitude that overlooks the entire territory, you can see that Xia Nanjiang has become significantly calmer after entering the scope of the Mountain and Water God Realm.

This is the role of the water gods. A large number of water gods work together like a natural water conservancy system, regulating the river basin.

Suddenly, a purple-white light shone under the turbid water. The light flashed under the water and disappeared suddenly. It was unknown whether it was defeated or dived deeper into the water.

After a while, a flexible figure rushed out from under the water.

It was a two to three meter long, silver-white, otter-like heroic spirit with a pair of aqua eyes, slender forelimbs, and sword-like claws.

Above the sharp claws, purple-white electric arcs loomed.

Thunder Sword Otter!

A level 9 heroic spirit from the swamp system!
Even in the dangerous Nanyang Continent, ninth-level heroic spirits are considered powerful beings, but the Thundering Sword Otter in front of him was obviously injured. Just a moment after he broke out of the water, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and there was also blood on one side of his back. Abnormal depression.

It was like being hit hard by something heavy.

A golden red light flashed, and the patrolling God of the Day appeared, followed immediately by the God of the Night. As a patrolling god, although the God of the Night was at his peak at night, he did not lie down during the day, but only patrolled. His abilities will not be as good as those of Hibiscus God.

But it doesn't matter, it can't pinpoint the location of the threat, but Nikki can. Just follow Nikki.

Because the ninth-level heroic spirits like Thunder Sword Otter appeared near the territory, both the Day Travel God and the Night Travel God appeared in their complete bodies, not clones.

Just when the two wandering gods were about to make a move, the turbulent water surface suddenly arched up, and a huge creature broke out of the ground and appeared in front of the day and night traveling gods.

This is a behemoth more than ten meters long. It has scales as hard and thick as tortoise shells, but it has the head, limbs and tail of a crocodile. It is completely dark. Even on a dimly lit rainy day, you can still see the surface of the scales. A cold metallic luster.

This heroic spirit, which looks like a crocodile but not a crocodile, looks like a turtle but not a tortoise, is ferocious in appearance, with a bloody mouth open and full of densely packed sharp teeth, which makes people shudder and make their hair stand on end.

What was the Thunder Sword Otter injured by?The murderers came forward themselves.

Turtle-shelled giant crocodile!

A level 10 heroic spirit from the swamp system!
It's no wonder that Thunder Sword Otter is in such a miserable state.

Although the Thunder Sword Otter is famous for its agility, it is also as free as flying underwater. Its pair of forelimbs are as powerful as magical weapons, and it also masters the power of thunder and lightning, which is a great weapon for aquatic heroes.

But the tortoise-shell giant crocodile was a higher-level being, and its scales were extremely hard, so the Thundering Sword Otter couldn't do anything to it.

Brush brush!
Several more figures appeared out of thin air, and more day travel gods and night travel gods appeared, surrounding the turtle-shell giant crocodile.

Although the tortoise-shell crocodile looks a bit like a turtle, its temperament is not the same as the turtle's slow and swaying character. The tortoise-shell crocodile's temperament is very fierce and overbearing.

At this moment, he was surrounded by four or five day and night wandering gods, but he was not afraid. Instead, he aroused his ferocity and launched a brazen attack on the wandering gods.

The Day Travel God and the Night Travel God are waiting in full formation. After all, the turtle-shell giant crocodile is a level 10 heroic spirit. Even if the Day Travel God and the Night Travel God are superior god-type heroic spirits, there is such a level gap. How can we ignore them?

The three day travel gods first glanced at the Thunder Sword Otter and saw it staying aside with a wink. Then they quickly passed it and focused on the turtle-shell giant crocodile. Then they activated the "Sun" almost immediately. patrol".

The day traveler's aura surged instantly, and he reached level 9 in the blink of an eye, while the two night travelers did not get too close.

It's daytime now, and they can't activate "Night Patrol". They can only maintain their level at level 8. It would be too risky to challenge the turtle-shell giant crocodile with level 8 strength. If they are not careful, they will risk falling.

In the current situation, there is no need for them to take risks. As long as they delay for a while, powerful reinforcements will arrive soon.

The turtle-shell giant crocodile's attack came very quickly, and several streams of iron-black water surged up from under the turbid water. Like a meteor hammer, they suddenly hit Hyuyou God.

Seeing this, it is not difficult to understand how the Thunder Sword Otter's injuries came about.

The god of day travel waved the gold mace in his hand, and swung out streaks of golden and red mace light, and hit the iron-colored water hammer heavily, smashing it instantly, and then shook the fire mirror in the other hand, shooting out a string of The golden-red sunfire suddenly burned towards the giant turtle-shell crocodile.

But facing the hard and thick scales of the tortoise-shell giant crocodile, the astonishingly lethal Sunfire was helpless!
At this moment, iron-black water suddenly shot out from under the two Night Walkers, turned into a meteor hammer, and hit the Night Walkers hard. The Night Walkers hurriedly responded.

Suddenly, several streams of water rushed over from a distance like snakes and quickly entangled the iron-colored water hammer. Then a flexible figure came and a thick water stick struck fiercely and scattered the water hammer!
It's a water monkey that happens to be nearby!

After the Shuiluan Monkey smashed the attack of the turtle-shell crocodile with one stick, it immediately rushed towards the turtle-shell crocodile like a cannonball.

Although it is one level lower than the turtle-shelled giant crocodile, the water monkey is not afraid at all, and its momentum is even more amazing than the turtle-shelled giant crocodile, as if it is the one with a higher level!
Shuiluan Monkey is worthy of being a top-level ninth-level heroic spirit, and his sudden burst of combat power is much stronger than the God of Days who has activated the "Sun Patrol".

A water monkey, three day wandering gods and two night wandering gods immediately suppressed the giant turtle-shell crocodile.

At this time, there was sudden thunder from the side.

I saw lightning flashing on the forelimbs of the Thunder Sword Otter, and it turned into a purple-white thunder sword in an instant, killing towards the tortoise-shell crocodile, and had already hit the tortoise-shell crocodile in an instant.

The giant tortoise-shell crocodile launched an angry counterattack, opening its bloody mouth. The next second, the black iron-colored energy turned into the shape of a crocodile, and bit into the Shuiluan Monkey and the God of Days.

The Shuiluan Monkey swung out his stick, and together with the combined efforts of several Japanese travel gods, defeated the attack of the turtle-shell crocodile, and then plucked the monkey's hair and activated his "external incarnation".

The monkey's hair moved with the wind, and before it got wet from the torrential rain, it transformed into another water monkey, carrying a stick and killing the giant tortoise-shell crocodile.

At this time, the turtle-shell crocodile finally realized that its opponent was difficult to deal with and began to dive, but it was obviously too late now. In fact, it was already too late the moment the turtle-shell crocodile went down the rapids and entered its territory.

There are so many middle- and high-level heroic spirits in the territory, how can a mere turtle-shell giant crocodile conquer the world?

……

When Shen Guanye arrived in the heavy rain, the turtle-shell crocodile had become a corpse and was thrown on the shore. The person who killed the turtle-shell crocodile was the crane spirit.

Although Shuiluan Monkey, Hichiyoushen and Yyoushen suppressed the giant tortoise-shell crocodile, their strength advantage was not that obvious after all. Besides, Nichiyoushen's level 9 strength is still limited. If he really fights for his life, he may still risk his death. .

It is impossible to kill the giant turtle-shell crocodile easily.

Therefore, they only need to drag them until the crane spirit arrives.

On the side, Thunder Sword Otter is still alive.

However, the reason why it is alive is not because there was no previous hostile behavior, nor is it because the crane spirit, water monkey, day travel god, and night travel god showed mercy.

But because it expresses surrender.

This is also the reason why his subordinates specifically reported the matter to Shen Guanye.

A turtle-shell giant crocodile appeared in the territory. This matter is not small, but it is not big. Logically speaking, there is no need to notify Shen Guanye to come over. His subordinates can just deal with it on their own.

But the Thundering Sword Otter expressed its surrender, so that was different. Since the Thundering Sword Otter expressed its surrender, it meant that it was already Shen Guanye's reserve contracted heroic spirit. How could his subordinates decide his life or death?
It's even worse to kill first and then report, and to deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors.Shen Guanye first set his sights on the huge body of the turtle-shell crocodile, but quickly passed by it.

It's just a level 10 heroic spirit, so it's really no big deal. When the hunting team carried out previous sweeps, it was not like they hadn't hunted down giant turtle-shell crocodiles.

What really caught Shen Guanye's attention was the Thunder Sword Otter.

Most of the swamp-type heroic spirits don't look very good, some are ugly, some are ferocious, which may suit some people's aesthetics, but certainly not the mainstream. Thunder Sword Otter is one of the very few that looks pretty good.

He has a slender body, silver-white smooth fur, a pair of aqua eyes, and sword-like forelimbs. He is beautiful and handsome.

After all, this is the first non-awakened heroic spirit to surrender to him, right?

Shen Guanye felt a little strange and slightly happy.

Where do the heroic spirits of the Apocalypse Contract come from?Part of it comes from the gift from Lord Apocalypse, and the other part comes from conquering it by yourself.

Shen Guanye has countless heroic spirits under his command, but this is the first time that he has subdued them on his own like this - Jiuwei and the others are different. Jiuwei and the others are awakened heroic spirits, have spiritual intelligence, value their own lives, can weigh the pros and cons, and have a high probability of subduing them.

Ordinary wild heroic spirits are different, and the probability of conquering them is much smaller.

Now that the Thunder Sword Otter had expressed its surrender, Shen Guanye would certainly not kill it again, and soon signed a contract with the Thunder Sword Otter.

There is a difference between heroic spirits taking the initiative to accept a contract and forcibly making a contract. Heroic spirits who can force a contract are all heroic spirits born in the master's lair, and they can only be completed under the will of Lord Apocalypse.

And, there is a price.

Why do you think the prices for selling and renting Heroic Spirits in this world are so high?On the one hand, this is indeed a hugely profitable business, and on the other hand, there are costs associated with the sale and leasing of heroic spirits.

Even if it is just a lease, it will cost a lot of money to make the lease contract, and the higher the level, the more exaggerated the cost. It does not mean that Lord Apocalypse wants to lease to whomever, just a thought can be realized.

If the lease contract is like this, the cost of transferring the ownership of the heroic spirit to another person will be even higher.

This battle in the pouring rain was just a trivial matter to Shen Guanye. To him, subduing a thundering sword otter and adding a tortoise-shell giant crocodile corpse were insignificant.

What this incident really reflects is the increasingly mature investigation system and defense system of the territory. In this regard, the Day Travel God and the Night Travel God are the most important.

They can detect any disturbance in their territory and live up to their reputation as wandering gods.

The only shortcoming is that the number of day travel gods and night travel gods is still too small, and their levels are not high enough. They can cope with threats with low strength, but those with higher strength will be a little stretched.

Shen Guanye had no good way to deal with this. After all, the opportunity to give birth to a large number of god-type heroic spirits like before was once in a lifetime.

We can only accumulate slowly, waiting for the number of day and night gods to increase.

The Thundering Sword Otter was released into the Xia Nan River by Shen Guanye. Not only the Thundering Sword Otter, but also the heroic spirits including the Sphinx were left in his territory.

Because with his current strength, if he encounters an enemy who needs to attack with all his strength, let alone the Thunder Sword Otter, even the Sphinx is not qualified to be cannon fodder.

In addition, the Sphinx is also a symbol of friendship between the territory and the Nile Kingdom, which has extraordinary significance. Naturally, it is even more difficult to make any mistakes - who would use national power to fight?

Among the heroic spirits contracted by Shen Guanye, only the Great Tengu is still with him, and only the Great Tengu can provide him with some help in terms of combat power.

Shen Guanye didn't pay much attention to Thunder Sword Otter, but he didn't know that the other party was waiting for him in the future with a big surprise.

……

This year's rainy season seems to be particularly torrential and long. The occasional heavy rains have not only seriously affected the production and life in the territory, but also caused certain floods.

In the violent storm, Shen Guanye rode on the back of the crane spirit, looking at the Xia Nanjiang River below which was obviously much wider, with a solemn expression.

The rain was too heavy and lasted for too long. Not only did the rainwater from the surrounding mountains turn into countless streams and flowed into the Xianan River, but the water from the upper reaches also rolled in.

If this continues, sooner or later the city will be submerged, and the territory's growing momentum will be interrupted.

What an eventful year.

Glancing at the dark clouds in the sky, Shen Guanye sighed in his heart.

He hasn't seen the sun in almost a month.

"Let's go."

Shen Guanye said to Miao Gao on the back of the crane spirit beside him.

He asked Miao Gao if he had experienced such a long rainy season in previous years, and what was the situation in Xia Nanjiang at that time. But after all, Miao Gao was not from Xia Nan Province, so how could he pay attention to what Xia Nanjiang was like during the rainy season?
Let alone Miao Gao, even Chief Bashan and the others don't know it very well.

After all, the Lishan tribe is quite far away from Xia Nanjiang. It is too late for them to fight the rainy season, so how can they spend their energy caring about other places.

Therefore, Shen Guanye and the others could only rely on experience to judge.

This time, he was going to the Chongling Clan with Miao Gao to meet Marshal Li of the Chongling Clan.

The upper reaches of the Xianan River are within the territory of Chongling Valve. There are several dams used to regulate water sources. Compared with the Nanyang Continent, Chongling Valve is much drier and prone to water shortages in dry seasons, so it is necessary to build dams.

In this way, water can be guaranteed during the dry season.

Nowadays, Xia'nan Province is facing the rainy season, and the Chongling clan is also facing the same situation.

Although the rain in Chongling is not as torrential as that in Xianan Province, it is still not small. At the beginning of the rainy season, Shen Guanye greeted Marshal Li and asked him to help with the appropriate amount of water to reduce the flow of water downstream. pressure.

Marshal Li was easy to talk to and gave him face, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

In the past half month, a lot of pressure has been relieved on the territory. Otherwise, the local and upstream water would come together, and the disaster in the territory would be even more serious.

However, seeing that the rain did not stop for a moment, Shen Guanye felt that it was necessary to ask Marshal Li again, and then arranged for several mountain gods upstream to help consolidate the dam.

Otherwise, if he continues like this, he is afraid that the dam will burst upstream.

This matter could have been left to his subordinates, but Shen Guanye felt that this was not taken seriously enough, so he decided to take action himself.

The two cranes were like two white rainbows, flying through the rain curtain towards Chongling Valve.

……

Before setting off, Xia Nan clan had already sent a greeting message.

Therefore, after arriving at the headquarters of the Chongling Clan, Shen Guanye and Miao Gao had an unimpeded journey, and soon met the owner of the Chongling Clan, Marshal Li Zhibao.

Li Zhibao has a medium appearance, a medium build, and a medium temperament. He is in the middle of the pack in everything. There is nothing extraordinary about him. If he were not dressed in expensive clothes and wore gold and silver, he would be the kind of person who would be inconspicuous in a crowd.

Although his name is "Li Zhibao", his whole body does not have the aura of a tiger or leopard.

Oh, there is still a little bit.

It smells a bit like a smiling tiger.

"Commander Shen, I've heard about his fame for a long time and admired him for a long time! Please have tea."

He personally stood in front of the gate to greet him. After seeing Shen Guanye, he enthusiastically stepped forward, held his hands and exchanged greetings.

Although Shen Guanye was a little surprised by Li Zhibao's excessive enthusiasm, he was not too surprised.

Now he is the leader of the Xia Nan Clan. Like Li Zhibao, he is a warlord leader who controls a province.

It seems that the status of the two is equal, but in fact, Guang Chihun alone surpasses the entire Chongling Clan - a powerful person at the state-level is equivalent to a small and medium-sized country, and the Chongling Clan is only one province , how can it be compared to a small and medium-sized country?

Besides, maybe people are inherently hospitable?
