I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 295 - 20: Reclaiming the Sea and Building Roads, the Rise of the Mountain People (2/3)
As more and more mountain people and Spirit Monsters joined the rescue operations in the south.
The previously raging Sea Tide was successfully curbed, and even the invading Sea Monsters and Sea Gods became much more wary.
Because they suddenly realized that their opponents had changed.
Those mountain people traveling south on all sorts of strange vessels.
Individually, they might not be strong, but with their bizarre weapons and tools, they were able to harm the Sea Monsters and Gods.
Most importantly, these mountain people supporting the south were not recklessly brave or fierce.
Whenever they arrived at a new place and repelled the local Sea Monsters and Sea Gods, they would establish various military constructions on the spot, expanding their territory steadily and cautiously.
From camps to canals, to reservoirs, and various highly targeted water conservancy buildings...
Wherever these mountain people passed, all kinds of buildings would rise, minimizing and curbing the erosion of the Sea Tide on the land.
Among these, apart from various Bronze Beasts.
The thing that undoubtedly helped the mountain people the most was a type of [Prefabricated · Ecological Composite Regenerative Material] that, when thrown on the ground, could quickly expand into a road.
That was the predecessor of the [Xirang] developed by Li Boyang.
This is a biological material with qualities of anti-corrosion, anti-sun, waterproofing, dust-proofing, and even preventing mountain subsidence and rock slides.
Compared to directly copying the blue bricks, cement, and concrete from the past life.
This biological material is fully featured with the characteristics of the Mythical Era, possessing strong regenerative and self-healing properties.
Any vegetation planted on this material would naturally form into the shape of a road.
Thanks to this unique property, as long as it was combined with some tenaciously resilient plants, even seawater could hardly cause devastating damage to these roads.

"Next, we need to construct channels and reservoirs, to divert those sea waves."
"Only by completely preventing those sea waves from converging can we truly gain a foothold on this land."
Walking on the mountain path naturally formed by the vegetation.
Li Jingshu held a volume of the "River Map," striving to find the key water vein nodes in this area.
Behind Li Jingshu were mountain warriors armed to the teeth with Talisman Launchers.
These mountain people were originally hunters from various villages.
They already had the experience and ability to navigate through forests and hunt Mountain Monsters.
Under the call of Li Boyang, these people formed a special vanguard team with Li Jingshu, specifically responsible for surveying water veins and terrain for the subsequent logistical infrastructure troops.
To say a bold statement, if it were not for this special vanguard team charging ahead, the mountain people would never have been able to curb the endless waves so quickly.
"Girl, our 'Xirang' is almost used up."
At this moment, Li Yu, who had been closely following Li Jingshu, spoke up.
Since Li Boyang had not given this new material an appropriate simplified name.
Under Li Jingshu's influence, "Xirang" naturally became the mountain people's shorthand for [Prefabricated · Ecological Composite Regenerative Material].
The mountain people were admittedly enamored with this special soil that could form a road by just laying it along a path.
Particularly in this operation, they had almost entirely depleted their stockpile of "Xirang."
"Already used up so quickly?"
Turning around with a look of shock on her face, Li Jingshu only then noticed how far they had traveled from the temporary camp.
"This area probably no longer has any survivors."
It was another mountain hunter who spoke this time, echoing the sentiment of most present.
This vanguard team's task was partly to detect water veins.
But also to search and rescue survivors of the water disaster.
Yet all the way here, all they saw were hills swallowed by the Sea Tide, placing them among few mountain people and Spirit Monster bodies.
This meant that this area had completely become part of the South Sea, foraging grounds of Sea Monsters and Sea Gods.
Rumble!
As if in response to everyone's thoughts.
A huge wave suddenly rose on the distant horizon.
Amidst that wave, ferocious Sea Monsters roared and surged toward this area.
"Bad, it's those Sea Beasts under the Night Wanderer again!"
Reacting immediately, Li Yu quickly unslung the Talisman Launcher from his back, aimed at the nearest Sea Monster, and pulled the trigger.
Swish—Crack!
In an instant, a bolt of Thunder fell from the sky as the projectile struck the forehead.
The Sea Monster didn't even have time to wail before being struck down as a heap of char.
With Li Yu's lead, the remaining hunters also aimed and fired, fully utilizing their capabilities as hunters.
Swish—Crack!
It must be admitted that this batch of Talisman Launchers, specially made by Li Boyang, was indeed much better than the hunters' original Talisman Launchers.
Compared to the Talisman Launchers that the mountain people themselves DIYed and manufactured.
This latest batch of Talisman Launchers had all the structures and functions that a modern firearm should have.
Especially the magnifying scopes, which were completely a "monocular telescope" produced solely by Li Boyang's efforts.
The current mountain people simply didn't have the capability to replicate this.
Taking into account its complex construction, to ensure that this batch of Talisman Launchers didn't malfunction at critical times.
After much deliberation, Li Boyang finally decided to use the same bronze as the Bronze Beasts as the main body, forging them as a whole.
This directly led to these Talisman Launchers being generally overweight.
Even when used simply as a club, they could cause considerable damage.
Fortunately, every hunter present had practiced the "Breathing Technique," having physiques far beyond ordinary mountain people, allowing them to use these Talisman Launchers properly.
Swish—Crack!
With extreme range, precise shooting, and Thunder descending from the sky...
In just a few breaths, the mountain people had already fired two or three volleys, nearly emptying their ammunition.
In contrast, the incoming Sea Beasts were almost completely wiped out, leaving only the uncontrollable waves crashing on the ground.
However, Li Jingshu, who witnessed this scene, not only did not relax but instead watched the waves more cautiously.
Because according to past experience, these Sea Beasts were only the vanguard dispatched by the Night Wanderer.
Despite their large and mighty appearance, their intelligence might not even surpass that of ordinary wild beasts.
Whoosh!
Sure enough, almost the instant the Sea Beasts were annihilated.
An inexplicable storm suddenly whipped up the sea waves, forming a red humanoid deity figure in mid-air.
That was Ye Zhong, the Demon God—one of the sixteen Night Wanderers.
