Chapter 277 Underworld Cooperation
"Chisel it open?"
Ling Ji's figure appeared. She was surprised by Zhong Ling'er's bold idea. Then she looked at the surrounding situation and frowned.
This area is indeed very large, and there are countless cracks on the ground. If there is a slight movement, a large area may collapse. At that time, the stagnant water will surely gush out, and the surrounding area may continue to collapse under the impact of the water. This will be troublesome.
This place is different from the Evil Soul Cave. A large number of formations have been set up on the underworld side of the Evil Soul Cave, and many spiritual tools are used for protection. To put it bluntly, the underworld has built a sluice gate, and the water discharged into the South China Sea is unwanted and wasted water with limited water volume. There is no protection for the underworld here. Once it is opened, the water of the Forgetful River will dry up within a day.
Zhong Ling'er was thinking about a question: what is the gravity of this world like? Why does dead water flow to the South China Sea, but water from the South China Sea does not flow to the underworld? Logically, there should be more water in the South China Sea than in the Forgotten River. So can water pressure be used to solve this problem?
Zhong Ling'er's brain naturally thought about this problem from a scientific perspective. It was only after Ling Ji pushed her that she reacted.
"Sister Ba, why don't you say there is a hole here and the sea water flows into the underworld?"
Ling Ji didn't expect Zhong Ling'er to be thinking about this kind of question, and laughed: "Junior Sister, the underworld is the same as the fairy world. All small worlds can be connected through the underworld. The underworld only accepts souls from various worlds, and no one else can enter. Otherwise, it will be a mess."
Zhong Linger slapped her head and understood. So all of this was determined by the Tao. So what the underworld was worried about was not the backflow of seawater, but the loss of stagnant water!
"Sister Ba, we can't just fix this crack. Shouldn't the underworld also contribute?"
Ling Ji said proudly: "I can help you. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"It's not about what you do, Sister Ba, but what the underworld does."
Zhong Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "Whatever you did in the Evil Spirit Cave, do it here too. This way the water flow will be controlled, and it will be easier for us to act."
Ling Ji's momentum immediately weakened. "Junior Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that this matter is too difficult. We invested a lot of resources in the evil spirits, and it took us nearly a hundred years to deal with them. Even if I can hire someone, you can't wait that long."
"Besides, it's not easy to invite this person. You have to know that this is a place abandoned by God. As long as we ignore you and cut off contact with you, all problems will be solved. This is the fastest and most correct solution for us."
Zhong Linger understood, "Sister Ba came here mainly to evaluate whether to cut off the connection between the underworld and here. The underworld has no intention of solving the problem, right?"
Ling Ji nodded shyly, "Junior Sister, I think you can still try to save him, but if you ask the underworld to help, I'm afraid it will only have the opposite effect."
Zhong Ling'er suddenly smiled and pulled Ling Ji affectionately, saying, "Sister Ba, I only asked the underworld to help, and I didn't ask you to do too much. It's just a small favor, I won't refuse to help, right?"
Ling Ji immediately pulled her arm out of Zhong Ling'er's arms, took a step back and said cautiously: "Tell me what you want us to do first?"
Zhong Ling'er understood the attitude of the underworld. If she put in some effort, they might be willing to help, but if there were more people, it would be impossible.
"Sister Ba, I need you to drain all the water from the Wangchuan River while we fill this big hole. I will also drain the seawater from this area and fill the hole as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will prepare a hundred formation plates for you. You can use the formation plates to separate the areas in the water. As for how to drain the water out, please think of a way."
Ling Ji pondered for a long time before nodding her head. "Junior Sister, this is a little difficult, but I want to fight for you. Prepare the formation disk for me, and I will go back to the underworld."
Zhong Ling'er smiled and took out another small bottle, "Sister Ba, this is a bottle of Lingze, which can remove evil spirits. When we block the evil spirit cave in the future, we won't be able to deal with the evil spirits in the underworld that are infected by evil spirits. This Lingze is very useful in removing evil spirits, and it should come in handy."
Ling Ji's eyes lit up, and she took the bottle and said, "Good sister, this thing of yours will be of great help to us. Tens of thousands of years ago, the evil energy that entered the underworld landed in the Underworld City, and all the ghost cultivators in the city died. Now the city is sealed. With this Lingze, at least those ghost cultivators can rest in peace."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do whatever you ask of me."
Ling Ji left in a hurry, and Zhong Ling'er also began to prepare to fill the hole.
Five days later, Ming Ji brought back the news that King Yan agreed to send people to help. After discussion, they felt that creating a waterless area in the Wangchuan River would take at most five days.
This time was obviously not enough, but Zhong Ling'er couldn't ask Ling Ji for anything. She had already tried her best and could only think of a solution on her own.
Finally, both ends of the crack were filled, leaving only the middle part blocked by the copper-scaled snake.
Zhong Ling'er set up a large drainage array around this area, but the area was too large and it was impossible to carve an array pattern in the middle, so the array was very fragile and would break if not handled with care.
The underworld only gives five days and one chance, so this is absolutely not possible.
Zhong Ling'er had no choice but to build another formation on the periphery to reduce the internal pressure, but when she had only set up half of it, the inner formation broke.
This was the first time that Zhong Ling'er had failed since she set up the formation, and everyone's heart sank.
The monk in front of the Taiqiong mirror felt distressed when he saw Zhong Ling'er sitting on the ground without saying a word.
"Don't be sad, little sister. You have tried your best. You set up such a large formation in just two days. This is already very impressive."
"I thought the crack could be repaired, but it seems that it is too early to be happy. If it is easy to repair, the underworld will not want to give up on us."
"Junior Sister is just a child. We can't put all the burden on her alone. We should also help her think of a solution!"
"Little Junior Sister, you have to be strong. Everyone has to believe in her. She will definitely find a way."
Zhong Ling'er did not become depressed, but found the Dragon King with a determined look on her face.
"The Underworld drained all the water from the entire area, so that we are not affected by the stagnant water. We should do the same here. However, the South China Sea is too big and the water is too deep, so it is difficult to do so. But no matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way to do it."
The Dragon King was shocked. Were they going to expose that large area?
He could separate the sea water to reveal a path, but it would be impossible for him to expose such a large area even with all the power of the dragon clan.
Zhong Linger smiled and said, "Dragon King, it's hard to deal with too much sea water, but what if the sea water is reduced by half?"
