Let you rebel, you build the Immortal Kingdom of Longevity?

Chapter 82 The cause of the drought, confusing and confusing

At the city gate, Li Xing, who was observing the disaster relief situation, saw Xia Hao arriving and rushed over to greet him.

"Meet the lord!"

Xia Hao's eyes were heavy and serious, and he asked: "There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild. One hundred and one living people will leave one, and seeing it breaks one's heart."

"I didn't expect that the drought had already worsened to this extent after I had only been away for just one month. Is this common in Jincheng County?"

Li Xing nodded, his voice was low and tired: "My lord, due to the continuous severe drought, the weather has been extremely dry in the past half month. If there is no water supplement, it will soon become a dead bone, and countless people will fall to death...

Lord, if this weather continues for a month, we will have no choice but to prepare to leave this place as soon as possible. "

"The situation has become so serious that it is necessary to abandon Jincheng County?"

Xia Hao frowned. Before he left more than a month ago, the reservoir in Jincheng County still had enough water for a while.

It's only been over a month, and it's already so serious that it's hopeless that you need to abandon the city and flee?
Li Xing explained with a wry smile: "This terrible weather has caused the water in the city's reservoir to be consumed rapidly. At present, it can barely meet the drinking water needs of the people, and all other water for washing and washing has been stopped.

But even so, the situation is getting worse every day.Without the water supply from the Monster Beast Canyon, it is already an optimistic estimate that we can last for a month..."

"How much surplus grain is there in the city?"

"There is still 15 shi of surplus food in Jincheng County, which is enough for the time being. The major families in the city have also generously donated their money. The food is not worrying about it. The main problem is the water source. The water source of the entire Jincheng County has been strictly controlled by me. Control it and distribute it equally according to the number of people..."

Xia Hao frowned and thought hard, suddenly, he thought of Tianchi, which is also a spring.

If you dig deep into the ground, can you find groundwater?

Theoretically speaking, despite the severe drought that lasted for half a year, the groundwater should not disappear.

In this world, there are also wells, but they are very shallow, no more than a few feet.

"Have you tried digging a deep well?" Xia Hao asked quickly.

Li Xing nodded solemnly. In order to find the water source, not only Xia Jun's military mansion, but also the aristocratic families in the six northern states have all tried in this regard.

In a world where extraordinary warriors exist, it is not difficult to dig a deep well.

"My lord, I organized hundreds of ninth-rank warriors and dug a deep well about [-] feet deep, but there is still no trace of the water source."

"It's impossible." Xia Hao murmured softly.

Thirty feet, or about [-] meters, is already a very deep distance. How could there be no trace of groundwater.

Xia Hao didn't believe in evil, so he decided to try it himself.

"Where is the deep well you dug, show me."

"My lord, I have dug deep wells in Jincheng County, Yuzhong County, Haomen County and other places. The deep well in Jincheng County was re-opened and excavated based on a century-old well. Please come with me, lord." .”

The two rode their horses to the city, beside a deep well.

As far as I could see, it was a pitch-black hole with a diameter of about three feet, and the bottom of the well could not be seen faintly.

Around the well head, there are stones and soil taken out from the well, but the surface is extremely dry, and if you don't observe carefully, you can't notice the slightest trace of water.

Xia Hao's perception is sensitive, and he sensed some moisture in the soil, which means that the distance to the water source is not far away.

Looking at the dark hole, Xia Jun just thought for a moment and decided to give it a try himself.

With his current mental strength, the distance he can perceive is about 50 meters. Even if he is hindered underground, he only needs to go down a certain distance to detect the water source.

"Li Xing, just stand by and guard. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach, understand?" Xia Hao ordered in a deep voice. Although he is not afraid of the enemy's black hand from above, he also does not want to cause trouble.

Li Xing's loyalty has always been as high as about 90%, and he is trustworthy.

"My lord, don't worry, I won't let a fly get close."

Xia Hao didn't say much, and jumped into the well towards the mouth of the well.

Now, gravity, for him, has negligible influence.

Xia Hao kept falling towards the bottom of the well as if he was stepping on the sky, and at the same time, he kept using his mental strength to perceive the situation at the bottom of the well.

150 meters,
200 meters,
220 meters,
Until I firmly stepped into the bottom of the well, I still didn't feel the existence of the water source.

"How is this possible? What happened? How did the groundwater drop to such an extent in just a few months? It's totally unreasonable."

Xia Hao frowned tightly, with a gloomy look on his face.

He seemed to sense some kind of weirdness, and was lurking in the dark.

That is the root cause of the continuous severe drought in the land of six states.

"I don't believe it. There can be no groundwater, unless the structure of this world is completely different from that of stars like the earth."

Xia Hao gathered a purple-gold sword energy in his palm and rushed towards the bottom of the well...

The violent Zixiao blood energy in his hands was more powerful than a large earth-drilling machine. It directly threw out tons of dirt, sand and gravel, leaving a cave that Xia Hao could enter.

In this way, Xia Hao gradually drilled into the ground while constantly releasing his spiritual power to detect traces of groundwater.

A quarter of an hour later, when Xia Hao had penetrated 50 meters below the bottom of the well, he finally detected traces of groundwater.

"The water level is already so deep, more than 250 meters deep. This situation is really terrible. What is the cause?" Xia Hao was surprised and happy.

Surprisingly, the secret hidden behind this scene may be beyond his imagination.

Fortunately, he finally found a water source, which could temporarily relieve his urgent need.

Xia Hao released Zi Xiao's blood energy again, and kept digging holes down. After a while, he finally got through to the water source.

The damp groundwater was slightly cold, which made Xia Hao overjoyed.

"The next step is to mobilize the power of warriors and continue to organize drilling for water."

Xia Hao looked upwards at the entrance of the cave, which was already faint and invisible.

Even if he is as strong as him, at this moment, he still has some palpitations.

"Go up first."

Xia Hao followed the entrance of the cave and climbed out easily.

Li Xing has been waiting at the entrance of the cave. Seeing Xia Hao coming out, he was relieved and hurried forward to ask:

"My lord, how is the situation?"

Xia Hao squeezed out a wry smile: "I found an underground water source, but the location of the water source is too deep. It is nearly a hundred feet underground, which is a bit weird."

Li Xing also looked shocked, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

What a concept it is to be nearly a hundred feet deep. Before the severe drought, when it rained last time, you only need to dig down about ten feet to get to the water source.

"My lord, the disappearance of this underground water source is really strange. What should we do?" Li Xing asked.

Xia Hao thought for a while, and then ordered: "Li Xing, let me pass on my order to find some eighth-rank and ninth-rank warriors from the army, civilians, and big clans, and dig deep wells in the seven counties of Jincheng County. Solve the urgent need. I'm here to find the cause of this drought."

"My lord, do you have an eye?"

"There are some, but it's not sure yet. I feel that this severe drought may not be a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

Li Xing was taken aback when he heard the words, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, he asked again:
"My lord, you mean, it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. How is this possible?"
