Chapter 168 The flood submerges the long river of time and cannot be stopped!
When Su Mu rushed home, he was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him.
I don’t know when, the river water rose and spread to the shore. My stone house was half submerged, and the willow tree was also submerged several meters.
At this moment, the submerged willow tree was emitting a faint fairy light. He could feel that the willow tree's breath was very weak, and it was sending a faint signal for help towards him.
It’s bad, the willow tree is going to fail, my home is going to be washed away, and my vegetable garden is ruined!
Nannan stood on the back of the blue ox to avoid being drowned by the river. Su Mu said to Nannan: "Nannan, don't come over, just wait for me here!"
After saying that, Su Mu walked on the water and came to his stone house.
I found that many of my furniture, such as chairs and stools, were washed away by the water, but fortunately they were all ordinary treasures. The good treasures were placed in my space ring and carried with me.
When I arrived at the vegetable garden, I found that it had been completely submerged. I could only see the tallest Bodhi tree, but it was also half submerged.
Nothing was lost in my stone house, but the vegetable garden suffered heavy losses!
I don’t know how many spiritual plants were drowned.
At this time, Su Mu turned his head and looked towards the river, and found that the flood that was rushing down from upstream had just passed his home.
And he should have rushed here just a minute or two ago.
The peak of the flood is now continuing to flood downstream, and I was patrolling downstream just now, so I didn't notice the abnormality at the first time.
Fortunately, the flood was not very large, and the water level only rose by a few meters compared to usual.
Su Mu stood on the river, using his magical power to control water to stop the peak of the flood.
However, Su Mu could only stop the flow of 50,000 square meters of water at a time.
But the river is so long that 50,000 square meters is totally not enough. It can only play a delaying role and cannot solve any problems at all.
Although the flood peak was stopped by Su Mu, the water from behind would continue to rush in. When the next flood peak arrived, a new flood peak would be formed, and it would be impossible to stop it by then.
At this moment, Su Mu began to get nervous.
This was the first time he encountered such a big trouble while guarding the river. Now the situation was somewhat out of control and beyond his ability to control.
Su Mu's brain was working rapidly. It would only take half an hour at most for the flood peak behind to reach here. He only had half an hour to find a solution.
At this time, Su Mu recalled the main method used by Blue Star to deal with floods in his previous life, which was flood discharge.
Drain the flood to other places to maintain the water level of the main river, otherwise all the towns along the river will be flooded.
Su Mu rushed quickly downstream along the river, wanting to see if there were any tributaries that could discharge flood water.
But after searching for more than ten minutes, no suitable tributary was found to discharge the flood.
At this time, Su Mu found a tributary with a stone dam at the entrance, and behind the stone dam was a waterfall.
Su Mu stood on the waterfall and looked down. There was a large reservoir similar to a basin, about several hundred meters high.
Moreover, the water level of this reservoir is very low now, and its area is very large, which is just right for flood discharge.
As long as the flood in the main river channel is diverted into this large reservoir, the flood risk in the main river channel can be solved.
But now, a problem arises.
That is the stone dam where the main river channel connects with this tributary channel. It is thirty meters long. This stone dam must be pushed down to successfully divert the flood to the tributary.
However, this stone is very, very strong.
At this moment, it was too late. He could already feel that a new flood peak was approaching, and it would arrive in ten minutes at most.
Su Mu's aura was fully open, his cultivation burst out, and he took out the silver dagger and stone blade, which were the two strongest and sharpest weapons on Su Mu. Holding the dagger in his right hand and the stone blade in his right hand, he began to chop the stone dam frantically.
Su Mu discovered that the stone blade was more effective than the silver dagger in chopping this kind of stone. It only took five minutes to create a hole fifteen meters wide.
It’s still not enough, we have to open the full thirty meters.
When Su Mu knocked down the last stone on the dam, a new flood peak had arrived.
Su Mu stood in front of the flood peak and used his magical powers to divert the flood peak towards the nearby tributary.
In this way, Su Mu stood on the water for three full hours. He looked pale and exhausted, because he had to control the direction of the floods at all times, which was a great test of Su Mu's mental strength.
If Su Mu had not already reached the Great Perfection of Heavenly Immortal and his water control ability had reached level five, he would not have been able to hold on for so long.
When they persisted for the fifth hour, the water level in the main river channel finally returned to normal. Su Mu put down his hands, breathing heavily, and almost fainted.
He quickly sat cross-legged and meditated, and soon recovered.
At this time, Su Mu stood on the embankment and looked down. The hundred-meter-high reservoir had been filled up.
Su Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, we found such a large low-lying reservoir to discharge flood water, otherwise, we really would not be able to deal with it.
However, it is fortunate that the flood this time is not serious. If we really encounter that kind of catastrophic flood, Su Mu will definitely not be able to control the flood with his current water control ability.
In order to prevent the water from the large reservoir from backflowing, Su Mu rebuilt the dam that had just been demolished, and even widened it by 20 meters and raised it by 10 meters. This way, it would be foolproof.
After doing all this, the main river channel returned to its former tranquility.
At this moment, the system's announcement sounded in my mind:
[Congratulations to the host! You have maintained the stability of the river surface and successfully handled the flood, triggering an additional causal critical hit reward! ]
[500000. Favor Points +]
[2. Obtain infinite empty bottles]
The next second, a small white porcelain bottle appeared in Su Mu's hand. It looked like a narrow-mouthed vase and was very light in his hand.
This was the first time that Su Mu obtained a treasure rewarded by the system in this way.
He placed the small white porcelain bottle in his Dantian space and planned to study it in his spare time.
This time, Su Mu directly gained 500,000 favor points!
This broke Su Mu's record. This is half a million. It would take many months of hard work to earn that much!
Five hundred thousand converted into affinity can increase it by 5%.
If there were a few more floods of this magnitude, I might be able to refine this river!
But, it's just something I can think about. This situation is so rare that I can't ask for it. I've been here for almost three years and have only encountered it once.
Su Mu returned home.
Due to the flood, the yard was in disarray, so Su Mu began to clean it up, and Nannan was not idle either, so she helped to clean it up.
"Daddy!"
"Come and see, what is this?"
Nannan seemed to have picked up something. She stood up and shouted to Su Mu who was not far away.
