Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (91)

In times of crisis, who would care if they were mortals or demons? Those who could help them were their benefactors. Even if they were demons, they were also good demons. Otherwise, why would they save them?

Chu Xiang chose a good timing. When the people in the area were the most desperate, the one who saved them was not the court, nor the Bodhisattva, but the demons she led. Regardless of their original views on demons, this time they were sincerely receptive of these demons and appreciated them from the bottom of their hearts.

The three-day period that Bai You predicted arrived. From the early morning, there has been an ominous stormy spell in the air. The sky was overcast and the trees swayed with the powerful gusts. The sand and gravel that the wind swept up could scratch holes on people’s faces.

Chu Xiang ordered the whole town to be under martial law, and everyone was banned from going out. The less powerful demons were scattered to patrol in various places while the powerful ones were arranged by Chu Xiang to sit in more than a dozen specific places. These were where she had set up the Water Harness Array. It was the spiritual power of these great demons that activated the array.

Bai You dived into the water with the demons who possessed water-type skills, and continuously calmed the surging water. The torrential rain poured down, so heavily that people could barely open their eyes. However, this was a trivial matter for the demons. Not a single demon was soaked by the rain, and they all acted in accordance with Chu Xiang’s instructions.

All the inhabitants were lying by their windows to watch what was happening outside. They were afraid, but at the same time nervous and curious. Everyone saw Chu Xiang slowly rise into the air. This was the first time they finally registered that Chu Xiang was indeed a demon.

Chu Xiang carefully sensed the direction of the wind and the density of the rain, counted with her fingers, and ordered at the most appropriate time. “Divert the water! Divert all this water to other places. All demons in the mountain, listen to my command! Move trees and boulders to stop the mountain torrent!”

“Understood!”

The people didn’t see who was casting spells. They only saw that the rainwater falling from the sky no longer fell straightly, but was split into several waves in mid-air and were guided to different directions. In the distance were moving trees and boulders on the mountainside.

Not to mention that they have never seen such a spectacle, no mortal probably have ever seen such a thing, be it in the past or the present. Everyone gasped in amazement, subconsciously staring outside with wide eyes.

Not only the rainwater in the sky, but also the rain water mixed with river water were being lured to different places, to safe places with the demons’ Water Diversion Technique. The water source on the mountain was top priority, and many demons kept casting spells to stop the flash floods.

However, the rain got heavier and heavier. Half an hour later, dozens of voices reached Chu Xiang’s ears.

“Sister Chu, we can’t do it anymore. The water level in the river over there is too high!”

“Sister Chu, the mountain torrent is about to erupt. There are not enough trees and boulders nearby. We may not be able to stop it!”

“Sister Chu, the water surface is becoming more and more unstable. My spiritual power isn’t enough. I need a substitute.”

“Sister Chu, there is a child on my side who ran out and slipped into the water. I’m going to rescue him. Send someone to patrol in my place!”

Chu Xiang looked at the sky and threw the magic weapon she refined in the past three days into the river. This was a magic weapon that functioned like Poseidon’s trident, stabilizing the river. Unfortunately, she lacked enough raw materials on hand, and the refining time was also too short. The effect was of course several times worse than that of Poseidon’s trident. It only temporarily stabilized the river. The magic weapon was constantly drained, and so she couldn’t rely on it to completely solve the problem.

The flood was inevitable, but she must weaken the flood before it could land. Otherwise even their high demon power and her ancient arrays might not be able to stop a natural disaster of this magnitude.

In a huge town with a large population, there were multitudes of unexpected events. There were those who were in labor, those who suddenly fell critically ill, those who disobeyed and ran out to brave the danger, and those whose houses were collapsing. There were numerous of such emergencies that the demon patrols needed to save.

The number of demons managing the Water Diversion Technique was limited, and after controlling it for so long, they have almost exhausted their spiritual power. They couldn’t hold on any longer. Finally, when they were exhausted, the flood roared like a beast. Chu Xiang solemnly instructed, “All demons, listen to my command. Activate the Water Harness Array, and block this monstrous flood with me!”

“Yes!!”

In unison, more than a dozen powerful demons sent spiritual power to the array, and with Chu Xiang at the eye of the array, they crossed their legs together and activated the Water Harness Array.

More than a dozen beams of light were projected into the sky. They were too dazzling, almost blinding everyone. The next thing they knew, pillars of light like barriers blocked the raging flood and at the same time warded off Yanwang’s life-killing talisman!
