An Honghan noticed that the person in his arms seemed uncomfortable, and nodded, asking, "Are you injured?"
He hadn't forgotten... when Xi Xizhi came back just now, she was swept down by the current. If he hadn't caught her, wouldn't she have been hit badly by the waves and eventually drowned in the endless tide?
Thinking of this, An Honghan's face grew even colder.
Xi Xizhi bit her lip and shook her head, "I'm fine, let's retreat the soldiers quickly."
There are at least several thousand soldiers here, and if they don't move quickly, they could easily be wiped out.
Dongfang Youyu cast a glance at the girl in An Honghan's arms, a thoughtful expression on his face. It had only been half a month since they last met; where had His Majesty found such a beauty? He had been by An Honghan's side for three days and hadn't seen Feng Yun Diao, which puzzled him greatly.
Didn't His Majesty always cling to Fengyun Diao and never let go? Why has he disappeared now?
Just as Dongfang Youyu was feeling confused, he suddenly noticed that the red mark on the little beauty's forehead had faded a bit, revealing a faint, darker diamond-shaped red mark.
This discovery took him by surprise.
My gaze was drawn to the little beauty's eyes, which were also a deep blue.
Apart from having black hair, her other features are almost identical to Miss Xi's.
Could it be that Miss Xi faked her death?
Even if they faked their deaths, their ages don't match up, do they?
Some thoughts began to surface in his mind, and Dongfang Youyu's gaze towards her changed.
An Honghan stared intently at Xi Xizhi, intending to tear open her clothes to see how serious her injuries were, but was interrupted by the sweeping gazes directed at him.
"I'm really fine, it'll be too late if we don't leave now." Seeing An Honghan standing there motionless, Xi Xizhi tugged at his clothes and urged him on.
The dragon hasn't emerged yet, but the master is dealing with it underwater; he should be able to hold on.
However, the water is the domain of the dragon, and the master will not gain any advantage. They must leave the dam quickly, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
An Honghan nodded and quickly instructed Hu Qu to make the arrangements.
When Hu Qu first heard the news that the dam would collapse within two days, his eyes turned red. But the next second, he forced himself to calm down, summoned his subordinates, and dispersed to notify the soldiers to evacuate immediately. There were at least several thousand soldiers around the dam, but fortunately, they were not far from each other, and the message was relayed one by one, so the notification was quite fast.
After An Honghan left first, everyone else immediately followed.
No one continued to repair the dam, and the cracks in it quickly widened.
If their estimate is correct, the dam will likely be destroyed in about two hours.
In life-or-death situations, humanity always seems to unleash its boundless potential.
These people were all highly trained soldiers with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people. In the large group of people fleeing, everything was in good order.
Lying in An Honghan's arms, the jolting motion made Xi Xizhi's back ache even more, and she bit her lip until it turned pale.
Fortunately, An Honghan was warm all over, giving her a very warm feeling, as if she would not be afraid of anything as long as An Honghan was by her side.
The surrounding noise seemed to fade away. Xi Xizhi glanced at An Honghan sideways and felt that An Honghan was an extremely charming man. Although his face rarely showed a smile and was always cold, he was still captivating.
She couldn't help but ask herself, when exactly did she fall for An Honghan? Was it when he unconditionally doted on her, or when he was always by her side?
Thousands of soldiers withdrew in an orderly fashion, the vast and mighty army moving forward like a winding river.
Because of its proximity to the dam, the roads in this area are full of silt. Sometimes, when passing through areas with deep water, a group of people's feet will sink deep into the water and they will have to use other places to pull themselves out.
So even though the soldiers were strong and healthy, their retreat speed was not very fast.
Just when they were a quarter of the way from reaching the army's encampment, a thunderous roar shook the heavens and earth.
Tan Hai was on high alert and shouted back, "Those behind, hurry up and catch up! The dam has collapsed!"
Everyone's faces turned extremely grave, and they sped up their run towards the encampment on the mountain once more.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a raging torrent of water rushed in.
The waves surged wildly from behind. Xi Xizhi propped herself up, turned around and looked back, and saw that a third of the soldiers had not yet climbed the mountain.
Xi Xizhi jumped down from An Honghan's arms and turned to walk back the way she came.
"I'll go help them; they shouldn't have died here."
Before An Honghan could react, Xi Xizhi quickly channeled her inner energy and flew towards the waves behind her.
When his arms were empty, An Honghan realized what Xi Xizhi was about to do! His eyes were as cold as ice.
If Xi Xizhi hadn't been so fast, he would have grabbed her clothes without hesitation and pulled her back.
Even if it meant sacrificing those soldiers, An Honghan was unwilling to see her take the risk.
Humans are selfish, especially him; he would never allow Xi Xizhi to be in any danger.
After the floodwaters breached the dam, a massive amount of water swept everything away, rushing along the narrow valley path.
As the floodwaters rushed toward them, the soldiers behind them began to despair of life.
And then a miracle occurred. A girl of sixteen or seventeen suddenly appeared in front of them, radiating a powerful aura. In an instant, a layer of arc-shaped light blocked the surging water.
This arc-shaped halo was a barrier created by Xi Xizhi using her spiritual power. The strength of the barrier is related to her own strength; Xi Xizhi could only withstand the flood for a short time, and it definitely wouldn't last long.
With both hands raised upwards, spiritual energy continuously supplies the barrier with power.
She gritted her teeth and roared, "Hurry up the mountain! Hurry up! I can't hold on much longer!"
She had died once, so of course she knew how precious life was!
The stunned soldiers, upon hearing her shout, snapped out of their daze and, without bothering to understand why the floodwaters were being held back, all continued rushing up the mountain.
