One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

"It seems that the Xu family kid has found a helper, and this helper is connected to the restricted area. This rainstorm is about to end, and Rongcheng has been saved after all." The man in black standing in the northeast corner spoke in a slightly aged voice, but his tone was sarcastic.

"Even if Rongcheng is saved this time, so what? The water-suppressing divine beast here will never return. How long can that clueless kid from the Xu family hold out?"

This time we've messed with the people in the restricted area, so the Dong family will have to go into hiding for good. Don't bother us with anything, since our cooperation is over anyway.

As for the Xu family brat, even if we don't take action, he will perish on his own. We just need to wait and see how he ends up.

"Gentlemen, I'll take my leave now." The person standing in the southwest corner spoke up, expressing a different opinion.

With so many people in the restricted area outside, it would be troublesome if we accidentally attracted their attention.

Even if they manage to escape, if they are tracked down to their family, that would be a real disaster.

They are all people who know how to protect themselves. For the sake of their family's interests, everything else can be used and discarded by them.

These people originally came together because of mutual interests, and now that they have achieved their goals, their plan to completely eliminate the Xu family is now impossible, as the last member of the Xu family has connections with the authorities. This interest group is on the verge of falling apart.

One of them left first, and the remaining three each had their own thoughts.

"The green hills remain, and the clear waters flow forever. Perhaps we'll meet again someday, but it would be best if we never saw each other again!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, three of the original four people in the room had left, leaving only the person standing in the north corner.

He slowly walked to the window, looked at the rain which had obviously subsided, and gazed at Tianfu Square in the distance.

While the personnel in green uniforms were still on guard in the rain and unable to get close, he naturally didn't know what the Xu family kid had done, nor did he know who the enemy was who could withstand the simultaneous attacks of the four of them and give the paper doll power.

When did such a powerful figure emerge from the official ranks?
Although the four of them did not use their full strength when they attacked together, they only used the paper figure's body to bear half of their power.

Even so, the opponent was able to withstand their attacks and even destroy the paper figures, which is enough to show that their strength should not be underestimated. At the very least, in a head-on confrontation, they would definitely not be a match for them.

The other three had left, but he remained because he had a vague unease. With their opponent so powerful, who could guarantee they wouldn't find them by following the scent they left behind?
This action was ultimately too impulsive.

After a deep sigh, he thought it over and over, and finally took out his phone and made a call.

-

underground.

After Xu Yuyi and Wu Xie jumped into the cave, they slid down as fast as they could, like riding a slide.

Finally, the previously narrow cave suddenly became spacious. Wu Xie took out a compass and made a rough estimate.

The two of them were already very far from the ground.

This vast, empty cave is very rough; strictly speaking, it is not a cave in the conventional sense, but a deep pit.

Xu Yuyi walked to the side and took out a palm-sized token from his pocket. Wu Xie glanced at it casually and saw that the token was engraved with the ancient Chinese character "Xu".

This must be the Xu family's token.

Wu Xie circled the deep pit several times but couldn't see anything. He just felt that the person who dug out the water-suppressing beast must have been in a hurry and hadn't been careful.

Xu Yuyi was also circling in the deep pit, but unlike Wu Xie, he was clearly looking for something.

As time went on, Xu Yuyi's mood gradually became irritable, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the token bulged.

"Don't rush. This is your first time here, and all the traces here have been deliberately destroyed. Even if you want to find something, you need to be patient, calm down, and think carefully about what your parents have told you before, and then start looking."

Otherwise, given your current mood, forget about finding anything; you might even lose the will to continue because of this frustration.

"You must believe in yourself. You are the last member of the Xu family, and you are the only guardian of the water-suppressing beast here. You and the beast must have a close connection. Work hard, and once the crisis in Rongcheng is over, the water-suppressing beast will be waiting for you to find it!"

Noticing that Xu Yuyi's mood was getting worse, Wu Xie went over, pressed his shoulder, and tried to persuade him, word by word.

No matter what you do, you can't succeed all at once, especially for children like Xu Yuyi who are forced to grow up and take on heavy responsibilities. They need to be given room to grow.

With Wu Xie's gentle reassurance, Xu Yuyi's initially agitated emotions gradually calmed down.

He opened his hand, stared at the token in his palm for a long time, and then bit the finger of his other hand.

Blood was squeezed from the fingertip and dripped onto the token, quickly blending into the character "Xu".

Before long, the blood from his fingertip completely stained the character "Xu" red.

Just then, the token suddenly flew out of Xu Yuyi's hand and began to spin rapidly in the deep pit.

After a while, the token stopped spinning and rushed towards the corner wall.

The token rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, crashing into the wall and creating a small dent that perfectly matched the size of the token.

Xu Yuyi's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over.

He pressed down on the token, blood still seeping from his hand, seeping into the token and into the wall.

With the sound of a heavy stone being pushed aside, a square black box, about twenty centimeters in length, width, and height, popped out from inside.

The moment Xu Yuyi saw the box, his eyes reddened.

He forced back his tears, picked up the box, and sat silently on the ground.

The token fell from the wall and landed right on the square box.

After sitting on the ground for a while, Xu Yuyi finally opened the spring mechanism on the box, and the square box opened immediately.

There was nothing special inside, just a whole box of soil. When Wu Xie saw the box full of soil, he didn't know what to say, or perhaps he had nothing to say at all.

This is outrageous! Shouldn't such boxes contain very important things?
Xu Yuyi risked coming here for what's in the box, didn't he? This soil doesn't look like anything important at all.

Could it be that someone else took what was originally inside first? Was this soil left behind simply to mock Xu Yuyi?
Wu Xie suddenly dared not think any further.

He was even prepared for Xu Yuyi to burst into tears next.

This child has really had a lot of bad luck getting to where he is now.

"Hey, don't be too upset. We can always think of another way. Our Chief is really capable. Once we get up there, we'll ask him for help. I'm sure he can solve our current problem!"

Fearing that Xu Yuyi would be too devastated, Wu Xie hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, cautiously trying to persuade him.

"Ah? Brother Wu, I'm fine. Give me a little more time, and I'll be able to create a substitute for the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast. Although it won't be as powerful as the original, it will last for a few years, enough time for us to find the real Water-Suppressing Divine Beast!"

Xu Yuyi, who was completely absorbed in the items in the box, was unaware that while he was staring at the box in silence, Wu Xie had already been thinking about so many things. He was just thinking about what to do next.

Faced with Wu Xie's endless concern, Xu Yuyi, having regained his senses, calmly said the following sentence.

"Wh...what? Make a substitute for the water-suppressing mythical beast? Are you planning to use this handful of soil?"

After understanding Xu Yuyi's meaning, a sudden thought flashed through Wu Xie's mind. So, is what's inside this box really just dirt?

“That’s right, this soil is the companion soil of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast, and it’s imbued with the most concentrated aura of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast. Using it to create a substitute for the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast is undoubtedly the best way…”

Back then, the family that specially set up the guardian beast to suppress the water not only protected the guardian beast, but also left this box of soil separately, just in case.

Of course, the elders of the Xu family also left a message: This handful of soil should never be used unless absolutely necessary!
This is the Xu family's last trump card, their last hope!

But now, only Xu Yuyi is left in the Xu family, so why cling to any last hope?
If we can't find the water-suppressing beast and let the torrential rain continue to rage, it's still uncertain whether Rongcheng can be saved. What's the use of keeping this handful of soil?
"But there's no water here. What are you going to use to mix the mud? Why don't we bring the mud up first, and then sculpt the town's water beast?"

There's nothing here but this handful of soil. Even if you want to use soil to create a substitute for a water-suppressing mythical beast, you still need water.

Wu Xie offered his suggestions very seriously.

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xie's eyes widened. He saw that after Xu Yuyi finished talking about creating the town's water beast, he took out a small knife and cut his wrist without hesitation.

Fresh blood gushed from the wound and dripped into the soil.

Xu Yuyi seemed completely oblivious to the pain. With his uninjured hand, he mixed the mud with his own blood and slowly began to mold it.

Wu Xie didn't say anything more and silently walked to the side, not wanting to disturb Xu Yuyi.

Xu Yuyi worked very quickly. In about twenty minutes, he had sculpted a stone beast from a box of clay into one that was almost identical to the fake one in the museum.

"Brother Wu, I'm sorry, but what I'm about to do isn't something that's convenient for others to see. Could you go up first?"

Xu Yuyi's voice drifted into Wu Xie's ears.

"Then I'll go upstairs and wait for you!"

There was no danger down here. Since Xu Yuyi had already spoken, Wu Xie didn't insist on staying. So, after saying that, he left the pit first.

When Wu Xie came up, he saw Master Qingfeng sitting under a big tree, looking into the distance, with a not-so-good expression on his face.

Was there an attack just now?

The power of the talisman lingered in the air. Wu Xie frowned and asked worriedly.

"Someone's been watching this place. But because of the security personnel in the restricted area, the person behind it hasn't shown up yet, only using a paper doll as a substitute. It's nothing serious, the sky is starting to clear up, so it must be that kid Xu Yuyi who did something, right?"

Master Qingfeng briefly recounted what had happened to Wu Xie. It turned out that the torrential rain had subsided into a light drizzle, and was nothing compared to before.

The dark sky brightened as the downpour subsided.

The gloom that has shrouded the Xichuan region for almost a month is finally about to pass.

"He said he was going to create a substitute for the water-suppressing mythical beast, and it seems he succeeded. Otherwise, this rain wouldn't have stopped!"

I just don't know what price Xu Yuyi paid.

"A replacement for the water-suppressing mythical beast? What did he find down there?"

Master Qingfeng's eyes widened. They could all see that Xu Yuyi was just an ordinary person, given his strength. Even as the guardian of the water-suppressing divine beast, he might possess some special methods usable only by members of the Xu family, but he would likely have to pay a considerable price.

"A box of clay. Xu Yuyi used his own blood and clay to sculpt a small water-suppressing mythical beast. As for what else he did, I have no idea. He wouldn't let me see, so I came up here first!"

After all, this was a secret concerning the Xu family, and Wu Xie didn't necessarily need to know it, so he didn't investigate it too much.

"This child has suffered so much!"

Master Qingfeng opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh and say this.

"Now that the rain has stopped, go down and check on Xu Yuyi again. Bring him back up, and then we can leave. I believe Wang Ye has also found out something. Let's discuss our next move after we meet!"

Master Qingfeng spoke earnestly to Wu Xie. He knew that although the torrential rain in the Xichuan region had temporarily stopped, their true test was only just beginning.

As the torrential rain gradually subsided throughout the Xichuan region, Gao Yuanda and his group, who were closest to Tianfu Square, couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances, all seeing shock on each other's faces.

They shouldn't have believed in ghosts or gods. But the four beams of light that appeared out of nowhere, and the figures flying in the sky, repeatedly shattered some of their preconceived notions.

Who would believe it?
Gao Yuanda was utterly shocked, because the rain had indeed stopped. He knew that the young man named Xu Yuyi had come here after several conversations with Daoist Qingfeng, promising to resolve the current natural disaster. (End of Chapter)
