Chapter 640: Chapter 272: Harnessing Water Veins (Part 2)
This way, nutrients can be continuously provided to the Starry Sky Vine, and the moist water vapor can continuously seep into the planting room.
After the discussion, Lear decided on the location of this planting area to be underground, ten kilometers away from City Hall.
Using a series of underground vine trains, this area was connected to the Underground City.
In this way, the future expansion of the Underground City in Weilu City would not be restricted by the planting area, and the planting area itself would have a broader space for development.
The surface area of the swamp is limited, so developing downward can undoubtedly expand the space several times over, perfectly utilizing the swamp.
However, just as the racial area began construction, Bain raised a concern.
“Your Majesty, with our increase in water usage for agriculture and industry, many areas of the swamp have already reached a saturated state.”
“If we continue this way, it might cause the swamp to dry up…”
His tone was very serious and earnest.
The swamp where this Mud Swamp Person previously lived was forced to exile due to the drying up of water veins.
This made him particularly sensitive to this matter.
“Your Majesty, about the water source reserve plan we previously devised, do you think…”
Upon hearing this, Lear slowly nodded.
“I’ve been busy lately, and did overlook this somewhat.”
“I will find some water veins to fill the swamp in the coming days.”
“However, the planting plan cannot be stopped!”
The territory is the foundation of all development, and food is equally a priority.
Developing in multiple aspects can greatly enhance the fault tolerance and foundation of the territory.
This is a key strategy for the future and must not be lost.
Moreover, the temperature has remained low and cold for more than two months, with no sign of warming up yet.
If this continues for half a year, or even three to five years… how terrifying would that be?
Without food, it would mean waiting for death.
Bain nodded solemnly.
“Your will, above all else!”
That day, a massive number of Crimson Wasps left the swamp to search for rivers and lakes everywhere.
Water veins are not something that can just be extracted whenever one wants.
A large part of the rivers and lakes in this world are gathered by water elementals.
These elemental creatures gather at the source, attracting more water elementals to arrive, forming streams, and gradually attracting other tributaries to converge.
Finally forming large rivers and lakes.
To take away water veins, one must take away these core water elements.
But though it sounds simple, in practice, it’s as difficult as climbing the sky.
Water elementals are elemental creatures, exceedingly averse to leaving their habitat, and the larger the river or lake, the stronger the water elementals are.
The water elementals of the large rivers can reach the level of demigods, and the more terrifying ones can possess power no less than ordinary divine spirits.
They are not something that can be captured at will.
And those rivers and lakes that are not gathered by water elements, formed naturally, cannot be moved… these water veins are naturally formed and cannot be altered by human effort.
Even if moved, it would just carry away this part of the water, unable to continuously produce fresh water, which holds little significance.
On March 14th, the troops sent out explored a total of 17 rivers and lakes near the swamp.
Upon receiving the news, Lear personally went to investigate.
Finally determined that 7 of the rivers and lakes had water elements and belonged to movable water veins.
The rest were naturally formed, and even if moved, only dead water could be taken away.
Having determined the targets, Lear wasted no time and summoned the Level 18 Swamp Boggart, the Archbishop of the Swamp Sect—Mar, and, accompanied by his personal bodyguard, the Great Demon, personally set out…
Southeast, 320 kilometers away, there is a spacious lake with a diameter reaching 15 kilometers.
The central location of the lake reaches a depth of 60 meters, and a slight perception can detect the unique aura of water elements emanating from the source.
The most powerful among them have already reached Level 19!
Lear hovered in mid-air.
Seven Great Demons lined up in a row.
The Swamp Boggart, as delicate and tender as a human teenage girl, stood beside him.
Just by appearance, no one would dare believe that this was a creature able to lure human souls with its song.
After a slight hesitation, he spoke softly.
“Mar, let the water elements surface…”
In the lake, the power of the water elements would be infinitely amplified, with the entire water area as its source of power.
Just like a divine spirit within its Divine Kingdom.
Using ordinary means, it was impossible to cause any harm.
Only when it leaves its habitat does it lose these additional strengths.
If doing it forcibly, even sending the Soul-devouring Demon, this extraordinary being, underwater, might not affect it much.
The next moment, the Swamp Boggart’s red lips slightly parted, and a melodious and enchanting song resonated through the sky.
The sound penetrated the lake surface and sank to the bottom.
The next instant, the lake began to ripple like boiling water, bubbling up with bubbles.
The whole lake surface surged with great waves.
It seemed as if some fierce creature was churning within.
The song continued for about ten minutes.
Suddenly, the lake surged violently, and amidst the turbulent waves, seven unique creatures stepped on the waves and emerged from the lake surface.
These beings had pale blue bodies, like a flowing clear spring.
Standing over 30 meters tall, like ancient beasts!
The lower body was a vague water flow shape, while the upper body grew two arms and a head, but the appearance was completely indistinct.
Water elements!
At this moment, these elemental creatures stood dazed on the waves, seemingly unable to perceive the external aura.
Lear’s eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.
The Level 18 Swamp Boggart was indeed formidable… I must thank the good heart of the Master of Heart Eating.
