Chapter 478: Chapter 253: The Guardian of Lu City!_3

Many medium and small-scale powers present normally wouldn’t have the chance to obtain elixirs from a Master Creator like Lu Zhong.

So, when Fang Mu announced the rewards, all the forces present chose to join the defense of Lu City.

Li Yuanchao bowed deeply to Fang Mu across the crowd.

Fang Mu too, politely returned the gesture to Li Yuanchao and announced.

“The Sea Clan’s invasion of Lu City has already begun. Everyone, mobilize at once to partake in Lu City’s defense!”

Having addressed everyone, Fang Mu turned to look at Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun.

“Ah Shui, Elder Shu, you can leave me and go help.”

“You don’t have to worry about my safety.”

Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun exchanged a glance, not insisting on staying by Fang Mu’s side.

Fang Mu had a Marrow Pact with the spiritual instrument, the Purple Qi Nine Crane Furnace, with the protection of a rank-two spiritual instrument, it can trigger an auto-protection mechanism in times of danger.

Ordinary opponents wouldn’t pose a threat to Fang Mu.

Fang Mu had done Lu City such a huge favor, Li Yuanchao, as the deputy head of the Lu City Sea Defense Corps, would surely protect Fang Mu from danger.

If Fang Mu were to help Lu City, and then let Fang Mu face danger.

Then, Lu City’s side would not be able to answer responsibly to the Qixing Grandmaster!

Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao were initially kind to Fang Mu due to Qixing.

Latterly, after trading with Fang Mu, they experienced Fang Mu’s generosity and received his help.

The two then formed a private friendship with Fang Mu.

After experiencing what had just happened, both Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao gave Fang Mu a thumbs-up in their hearts.

They would not have been able to match Fang Mu’s quality, vision, courage, and generosity in their youth.

“We will certainly not fail, and do our utmost to help Lu City through this difficulty!”

Upon finish speaking, Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun immediately took off to scout the Sea Clan’s situation.

It’s also good to gauge the current situation by the scale of the Sea Clan’s invasion.

The sudden invasion of the Sea Clan was fierce and swift. Lu City’s side responded just as swiftly.

Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun found that all the major Corps of Lu City had mobilized.

The Sea Defense Corps set up defenses, and the Guardian Beasts were resisting the destruction caused by the tsunami to Lu City.

Under normal circumstances, the Corps guarding seaside cities would cultivate a type of special Guardian Beast.

This Guardian Beast was known as the Bursting Water Toad.

The size of the Bursting Water Toad was even smaller than that of a bullfrog used for food, and it bore a lazy pimple all over its body.

A touch would trigger the release of a gross brownish-yellow pus.

People with trypophobia would likely faint at the sight of this beast.

However, this beast was indeed effective at dealing with floods.

Firstly, the Bursting Water Toad would absorb thousands, even tens of thousands, of times more water than its body volume.

Then it would convert it into pus within its body and secrete it through the pimples on its back.

Once this pus comes into contact with water, it will absorb a large amount of the water source and refine it.

Eventually, it would be diluted into a semi-transparent gel-like material.

This gel-like material is an excellent material for building water dams.

Lu City’s Sea Defense Corps immediately dispatched fifty thousand Bursting Water Toads, which were stored as strategic resources.

Beast Masters specifically watched over these Bursting Water Toads as they secreted large amounts of mucus, controlling the influx of seawater into the Lu City district.

Meanwhile, they constantly urged the beasts to advance the semi-transparent gel.

Despite the huge tsunami, they still managed to keep half of Lu City District dry.

With water treatment, damming, and rescue all happening simultaneously, a large number of Lu City residents were relocated to the safe district.

Shui Miao said to Shu Liangjun.

“Golden Bull, since your Guardian Beast is good at flying, you should go and scout!”

“I’ll stay here and guard these Bursting Water Toads.”

“The Bursting Water Toad is the lynchpin of Lu City’s resistance against the Sea Clan, even a slight loss of the toads will reduce the ground that Lu City can reclaim from the Sea Clan.”

“The Sea Clan will surely come up with a countermeasure once they find out about our situation!”

“I’m afraid they have already begun researching a method against the Bursting Water Toad!”

Hearing this, Shu Liangjun waved his hand, and a huge bird that covered the sky immediately appeared in the horizon.

The invasion of the Sea Clan to the land is inevitably accompanied by heavy rain.

Many of the Sea Clan’s Guardian Beasts have the ability to cause rainfall. The heavy rain can sometimes be a more severe issue than the tsunami to Lu City.

As the mucus secreted by the Bursting Water Toads can resist tsunamis, but the vertical rainfall inside Lu City leaves the Sea Defense Corps at a loss.

They could only utilize blunt methods to drain the water.

Fortunately, Lu City has a very impressive drainage system.

However, it won’t take long for the Sea Clan to discover the location of Lu City’s drainage, and some aquatic sovereign beasts like barnacles and starfish will clog up Lu City’s drain with their bodies.

If the rainfall problem is not resolved, the dikes built with Bursting Water Toad mucus will turn Lu City into a sealed basin.

They would be passively receiving the rainwater falling from the sky.

As soon as Shu Liangjun summoned his Guardian Beast, a clear, faint calling resounded in the sky.

The moment quickly shattered the dark clouds, and the sun hung high in the center of the sky.

The bright sunlight shone on the district of Lu City, evaporating the accumulated rainwater on the ground.

Almost everyone in Lu City looked up at the giant bird with blue-gold tail feathers in the sky.

This bird, with feathers as bright as the sun on its head and echoing the sun above it, gave people hope.

Is this a giant bird with a wingspan of nearly a kilometer, the Guardian of Lu City!?

Shu Liangjun had dealt with Shui Miao, but he had never seen Shu Liangjun’s contracted Guardian Beast.

The moment he saw this bird, Shui Miao couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Golden Bull’s Guardian Beast actually has the bloodline of the legendary Sound Bird!”

“Just that nowadays, with the absence of Spiritual Energy, the Sound Bird’s bloodline is relatively thin.”

“It failed to successfully awaken the bloodline of the Sun-burning Sparrow that never burns down based on the Sound Bird’s bloodline.”

“But a rank-two Guardian Beast is enough to handle the rainfall problem in Lu City’s sky.”
