Chapter 97: Blocking
Chapter 97: Blocking
Li Qian didn't walk far, stopping about three hundred meters away from the water slide.
The reason for choosing this spot to block the giant wave was that beyond this distance, there were basically no more houses behind him.
Moreover, by allowing the giant wave to travel a certain distance on the ground, its power would be reduced, so Li Qian naturally wouldn't go out of his way.
In fact, if it weren't for the newly repaired water slide behind him, he would have retreated further.
"That's enough. Qi Zai, Coalhead, Jin Yi, Jin Er, Jin San, get moving and use the Cyclone Skill together!" Li Qian issued the command without hesitation when he saw the giant wave had swept to within less than five hundred meters of where he stood.
Upon hearing this, the five Green Scaled Serpents, led by Qi Zai, also unleashed the Cyclone Skill without hesitation.
Whirlwinds rose from nowhere, surrounding the five Green Scaled Serpents, and in the blink of an eye, five thick cyclones formed.
The cyclone around Qi Zai was the thickest.
The five cyclones surged forward with an unstoppable momentum, crashing into the giant wave.
Although the cyclones looked formidable, compared to the towering wave, they were like a novice facing a master.
Boom...
The five cyclones collided with the giant wave as expected, and the hurricane, carrying a massive amount of river water, formed five water tornadoes.
Under the force of the water tornadoes, the giant wave was significantly weakened, not only in height but also seemingly in speed.
Li Qian, upon seeing this, knew this was his only chance. His eyes suddenly became piercing, and he shouted, "Xiao Liu, and Heaven Earth Yellow Universe Flood, it's up to you now! Frost Breath!"
Earlier, he had checked, and after the evolution was complete, the seven Frostfire Salamanders of Heaven Earth Yellow Universe Flood had also mastered the Frost Breath skill.
It was also because they had mastered this skill that Li Qian had the idea of blocking the giant wave.
Otherwise, he could only sigh helplessly, "I have the will but not the strength!"
As Li Qian's command fell, eight streams of blue-white cold air, like eight giant swords, pierced forward with unstoppable momentum.
The eight streams of cold air almost simultaneously hit the encroaching giant wave, and Li Qian stared intently, eager to see the outcome.
Crack...
Boom...
The sound of freezing continued to echo, and although some water flowed through the frozen areas, overall, the situation was under control.
The second half of the giant wave seemed to be locked in a stalemate with the ice wall formed by the first half.
"Come on, hold on, don't give up!" Li Qian encouraged the eight Frostfire Salamanders led by Xiao Liu.
He was well aware that the stalemate wouldn't last long, and if they withdrew their skills now, the giant wave would soon break through the ice wall.
Therefore, they had to continuously release skills to maintain the ice wall and strive to freeze more river water!
Li Qian was uncertain if there were more of these terrifying giant waves behind.
If not, it would be the best-case scenario.
If there were, this ice wall would definitely not withstand multiple impacts.
Splash...
The sound of the giant wave crashing against the ice wall continued, and finally, after about a minute, the crashing sound gradually subsided.
This giant wave was ultimately blocked by Li Qian and his companion beasts working together.
Without hesitation, Li Qian rode on Qi Zai and flew into the sky, looking towards the direction of the Xijiao Hydroelectric Plant.
However, what he saw made his scalp tingle, as another giant wave was rushing towards him, about two kilometers away.
He had just managed to withstand the previous giant wave with great effort, and now another one was coming, making the situation even more dire.
Fortunately, this time, compared to the first wave, he had a slight advantage, as the frozen first wave had formed an ice wall that could serve as a significant barrier.
Just as he frowned, thinking that he would have to give it his all again, several vehicles roared by, providing support.
The reason he knew they were support vehicles at a glance was because of their distinct paint job, which clearly identified them as vehicles from the Security Bureau.
The fact that the Security Bureau had dispatched vehicles to support this location indicated that the chaos in the city had mostly subsided.
Of course, this was just his speculation. In reality, the chaos in the city had indeed subsided, but it wasn't the Security Bureau that had calmed it; it was the Machinery Drought Sect that had voluntarily withdrawn.
The personnel at the Lingwater City Security Bureau were still unaware of the reason for the Machinery Drought Sect's withdrawal.
As for the support here, it was very obvious; such a terrifying giant wave could not have gone unnoticed by the Security Bureau.
Four vehicles stopped one after another, and a group of about ten people emerged from them. Li Qian rode on Qi Zai and flew into the sky, casually glancing around, and immediately spotted some familiar faces among the group, including Zhou Weiping and the director of the Lingwater City Security Bureau, Peng Zhongyang.
Upon seeing the group from the Security Bureau, a hint of joy appeared on Li Qian's face. With their help, dealing with the giant wave would be much easier.
Peng Zhongyang, Zhou Weiping, and the others got out of their vehicles and were stunned by the sight of the towering ice wall, which stood over fifty meters tall and stretched nearly a kilometer in a mountain-like shape. They stood frozen in place, not knowing how to describe what they were witnessing.
If they had also seen the majestic eight Frostfire Salamanders and the five Green Scaled Serpents in the sky, it would have been even more awe-inspiring.
Zhou Weiping was particularly overwhelmed, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
When had Li Qian accumulated such a formidable force? And this didn't even include his strongest companion beast, Da Zhuang.
After seeing the group arrive, Li Qian hurriedly called out, his voice filled with urgency, "Director Peng, Captain Zhou, hurry up and go around this ice wall!"
Peng Zhongyang, Zhou Weiping, and the rest of the Security Bureau personnel immediately reacted, summoning their companion beasts.
At the same time, on the other side, Li Qian had already commanded the five Green Scaled Serpents to launch an attack.
The attack utilized wind-based skills, which, although unable to completely stop the giant wave, significantly delayed and weakened it.
The group from the Security Bureau went around the ice wall and also witnessed the terrifying giant wave, instantly understanding the origin of the ice wall.
Without hesitation, they also summoned their companion beasts to join the attack.
With the help of the Security Bureau group, especially the several Earth Elemental companion beasts among them, Li Qian's burden was greatly reduced.
With such a significant aid, his confidence in stopping the giant wave increased.
After being weakened by multiple skills, even if some river water managed to break through the barrier and reach them, it posed no real threat.
The eight Frostfire Salamanders simultaneously used their frost breath, easily freezing the water solid.
