Versatile Mage: Heavy Water Overwhelms the World

Li Rui handed over the document, and the commander of the army read it without saying a word.

"But since last year, especially since this winter, the activity of ley lines has dropped particularly significantly. If this trend continues, the alarm threshold of ley lines may be reached."

If the activity of the earth's veins suddenly drops significantly, the most direct impact will be on the entire ecology of Hengshan, followed by all related magic industries, such as the magic stone, the foundation of Yangcheng's industry.

"So what is your conclusion?" the commander of the army asked directly.

"Because there are still too many factors that have not been taken into consideration, we can only propose a few relatively large possibilities at the moment." Li Rui said with a wry smile.

"The first possibility is that demons are absorbing a large amount of energy from the earth veins. If the activity of the earth veins can be reduced to such a degree, the only way is to achieve a breakthrough at the monarch level. For example, the Red Scale Earth King wants to break through to an intermediate monarch. "

"The second is that other situations have occurred in Hengshan, such as the production of some overly powerful treasures and the absorption of a large amount of earth energy."

"The third factor is human factors, but we think this factor is unlikely, because this situation in the Hengshan Mountains is a long-term result. If there is really external intervention, neither we nor Hengshan North should be affected. It would be completely oblivious.”

"In the end, it cannot be ruled out that it is a combination of the above factors."

The commander of the Qusha Army frowned and said in a deep voice: "Determine the reason as soon as possible. The scout team and logistics will give priority to meeting your needs. You can also raise it with me directly."

"Yes!"

Not long after Li Rui exited the camp, the Hengshan South Fortress, which was not quiet at first, suddenly became noisy.

"Lao Jiang is back? How's it going? Is it solved?"

"It's going well, but it feels weird. I won't tell you anymore. I'll report it to the military commander first."

"Okay."

The person called Lao Jiang was the fire mage who had just used a high-level fire magic to briefly open the ice elemental storm's breakthrough during the battle with the Ice Feather Cicada tribe.

I saw Lao Jiang coming to the camp where the military commander was located vigorously and resolutely.

"How are the casualties?"

"0 killed and 79 slightly injured."

Lao Jiang's report undoubtedly made the eyes of the commander of the army light up. 0 people were killed. This was good news. Even though it was so serious, he couldn't help but nod.

"it is good."

"What did you find?"

"They're a little too weak..."

Chapter 305 The driving force behind the scenes

Yes.

Jiang Zhengyang has seen at least thousands of Ice Feather Cicadas, not to mention tens of thousands. This time the Ice Feather Cicadas are indeed the weakest batch Jiang Zhengyang has ever encountered.

Especially when ice feather cicadas are unearthed in an explosive manner every winter, this kind of wholesale war general-level demon can only be contained by the military.

If the military ignores it, not to mention hunters, even the official magic stone industry will be affected.

But Jiang Zhengyang has never encountered such a weak Ice Feather Cicada group as today, especially the military's initial actions have been noticed by the Ice Feather Cicada group, which made them alert in advance and completed the Ice Feather Cicada group with almost no pressure. Elemental storm.

Generally speaking, this situation is already extremely dangerous and is extremely detrimental to Jiang Zhengyang's side. Normally, it is necessary to retreat temporarily.

However, since the military headquarters also issued a death order for this operation, the Ice Feather Cicada group stuck at the entrance to the West Ridge must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise further advancement will not be possible.

Xiling is to the southern area of ​​Hengshan Mountain in Yangcheng what Yunhai Peak is to the northern area of ​​Hengshan Mountain in Lucheng. It is the best crossing to go deep into Hengshan Mountain.

As a result, a group of hunter teams withdrew from Xiling a few days ago and reported the situation in Xiling to the military headquarters. The military headquarters immediately realized the strangeness of the problem and directly sent thousands of troops with the goal of breaking through Xiling.

Therefore, even with such an unfavorable start, Jiang Zhengyang still led his brothers to go ahead.

Originally, Jiang Zhengyang was already prepared to fight to the death, and the brothers did not have any fear. They were all enthusiastic and looked forward to death.

But what Jiang Zhengyang didn't expect was that he could break through the ice elemental storm with just a Sky Flame Funeral, directly reversing the originally disadvantageous situation.

This is the stunt that Bingyu Chan is most famous for. If it were normal, it would basically take several high-level moves together to achieve this effect.

But today, Jiang Zhengyang alone did it!

Then came the regular targeted tactics.

The Yangcheng Military Department, which has studied the Ice Feather Cicadas for many years, has developed a method that can relatively easily deal with the ice elemental storm created by the Ice Feather Cicadas.

The seemingly chaotic position of the military mages who formed the wind element phalanx just now is actually very particular, and it completely targets the weakness of the ice elemental storm.

Moreover, not everyone can complete this kind of square formation. Military mages who are not strictly trained cannot grasp the essence of it.

As for the four Ice Feather Cicada commanders, they are equally weak. They are half a level weaker than normal commanders. In fact, two high-level military mages can completely suppress an Ice Feather Cicada commander without even a chance to escape. Kind of crushing.

In previous years, without three or four high-level mages, it would have been impossible to gain the upper hand, let alone blockade the escape route.

Listening to Jiang Zhengyang's report, the military commander couldn't help but frown.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

This year, I suddenly encountered a group of Ice Feather Cicadas appearing in places they shouldn't have appeared, but their strength has become weaker.

It was all so weird, as if there was a hand pushing behind it.

"Have the people from the forensic department examined the bodies of those Ice Feather Cicadas?" the military commander asked in a deep voice.

"Well, Bingyu Chan's body has been sent to the forensic department, but the results haven't come out yet." Jiang Zhengyang nodded.

But just as Jiang Zhengyang finished speaking, a report came from outside the camp.

"Report to the military commander!"

"The forensic department sent urgent information."

This kind of emergency information rarely appears. Once it does, it means it must be a very urgent situation. And this happened to be the forensic department that had just obtained the body of Bingyu Cicada less than an hour ago, which directly caused the military commander and Jiang Zhengyang to panic. people's attention.

"Enter!"

Immediately, a slender figure in a white coat walked in quickly. She was a rather young woman with a plump figure. Her unpainted face may have looked a little dull because she had been dealing with corpses for a long time, and she was very anxious. look.

"Report to the military commander! We found that most of the ice feather cicadas sent back are premature babies that have been ripened. This is obviously caused by external forces!"

The woman from the forensic department was very excited, and her words made both the military commander and Jiang Zhengyang look at each other.

Ripening!

No wonder these ice-feathered cicadas are so weak. It turns out they are incomplete bodies that have been ripened!

If this happens to just one or two people, it can be said to be an accident, but if it happens to an entire ethnic group, it is almost certain that there are external forces adding fuel to the fire.

"Ripening the Ice Feather Cicada..." the commander of the Kushha Army whispered, and then ordered: "Share the information to the north of Hengshan Mountain, and also provide a copy of the information to Li Rui and the others."

"Yes!" The girl from the forensic department nodded repeatedly and quickly left the camp.

"You should also go down and take a rest. There should be a lot of tough battles to be fought in the future. Just leave it to Xiao Han and the others to continue advancing." The voice of the commander of the army softened slightly and he said to Jiang Zhengyang.

"Yes!"

Since there have been so many ripened Ice Feather Cicadas, it makes no sense that there would only be this few, otherwise the people behind this would underestimate their Yangcheng Military Headquarters.

It gets late after winter, and it's obviously the time to lie down in bed, but not many people in the Hengshan area can sleep.

The two military fortresses in the south and north of Hengshan Mountain were all operating at high speed, and Nanyi and others, who were the ones who had penetrated most deeply into Hengshan Mountain, also started their journey early.

According to everyone's current speed, it is expected that it will take another two days to arrive at Nantianmen, and half of this time may be left for Jiang Shaojun and Lian Xishan to survey data.

There is nothing that can be done about it. As everyone goes deeper, they know less and less about the route, and more energy needs to be spent on surveying.

No, the group had just finished surveying a small river and started to speed up again.

"Huh?" Lian Xishan, who was rushing to look at the data, suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shaojun on the side asked.

"That Leichi news seems to be true!" Lian Xishan looked at the data in his hand and exclaimed slightly.

"Let me see."

When Jiang Shaojun heard this, he also took the tablet from Lian Xishan's hand.

Everyone else also heard the conversation between the two, and their eyes lit up, waiting for Jiang Shaojun's correct words.

After a while, Jiang Shaojun looked up with a smile: "That thunder pool should be near Nantianmen, which is the source of the river we just surveyed."

Jiang Shaojun's words of confirmation undoubtedly excited everyone. The treasures that existed in such a place must be at the level of soul seeds.

If you're lucky, there may be more!

Chapter 306 Announcement of the Third Company

"According to the surveyed data, that river contains a small amount of thunder elements, and the concentration of thunder elements in it continues to increase as the distance from the upstream decreases." Jiang Shaojun looked at the data and said.

The meaning of this is already obvious, that is, there must be an area rich in thunder elements in the upper reaches of the river, which leads to this situation.

"Then let's continue along the route of the river?" Bai Zijin suggested.

"I think it's okay. It's winter now, and not many demon groups come to the river to drink water in large numbers. It's quite safe here." Yang He nodded and analyzed.

"Ah."

With Yang He's approval, Ai Jianghe felt that there was no problem with this convenient matter, and finally made the decision.

The cold wind blew through and the sky was covered with heavy snow.

The snow on the ground is already thick enough to cover the entire calf, but for some reason, it should be the coldest time of winter, when most of the demons in Hengshan are least active, but a lot of active figures have begun to appear.

However, these extremely subtle changes are almost impossible to detect by an individual, but the two military headquarters that have been paying close attention to the changes in Hengshan have noticed it.

A full day has passed since the Ice Feather Cicada population in the Xiling area was cleared.

The frontal army is slowly advancing deeper. The biggest reason why it can't speed up the advancement is that besides the logistics are still improving, the biggest reason is the monsters that suddenly appear.

As if their home had been stolen, these demons were going crazy in the vast snow, and they were all irritable.

This situation not only appeared in the recommendations of frontal troops, but also appeared in many places in Hengshan. Many scouts and sentry towers of the two major military headquarters in Hengshan reported the news immediately.

Although the military department does not know the reason, it has already prepared various plans.

In addition to mobilizing its own strength to build supply lines as quickly as possible and dispatching more troops, it also started mobilization at the same time.

……

Hengshan North Station.

Early in the morning, the tavern was full of people of all kinds, some were drinking and some were sipping tea, but their focus was quite different.

[Emergency announcement: Due to fluctuations in the earth's veins, demons in the Hengshan area have rioted. The original official recommended route is temporarily listed as a blue area. All mages are asked to follow their abilities. 】

Both Hengshan North Fortress and Hengshan South Fortress issued this emergency announcement this morning. Although the reason was not specified, it also aroused discussion among many hunters.

"I'm going, what's going on? I just came back from Guangji Peak a few days ago, why did it suddenly change like this?" A smooth-tongued man held peanuts with a look of shock on his face, but his face was more of a look at the excitement.

After all, he has returned from Hengshan, and he does not plan to take on any more work this winter. He just wants to eat, drink, have fun and relax, so of course he is happy to watch the excitement.

"I don't know, but I see that the Hengshan South Fortress has also issued the same announcement. Maybe something happened." Another strong bald hunter at the same table said with a slight frown.

The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices, so people nearby could hear their conversation.

Now even people who haven't paid attention to the news know about the fluctuations in the earth's veins and the demon riots.

"The earth's veins are fluctuating? Hengshan Mountain is not going to explode, is it?" A young and exaggerated little hunter looked nervous.

However, this kind of people who have never seen any storms are obviously in the minority, and most people are relatively calm.

"Don't worry, something big is going to happen. The bosses above are more anxious than you. It's not our turn to be anxious first." An old hunter took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

Of course, what more people care about is their harvest this winter.

Nowadays, the safest routes are classified as blue zones, leaving most people confused as to where to go.

Whether or not to continue taking jobs has become the most tangled question in many people's minds.

But people didn't dwell on this issue for long, as the military issued two announcements.

[Announcement: Due to various reasons, the official recycling price of all demon materials obtained directly from Hengshan has been increased by 50%. The military department will issue an announcement half a month in advance of the deadline. 】

That's right!

The military directly increased the most direct income of hunters by half, making it clear that they wanted hunters to actively participate in this matter.
