The body of the stick is made of wood, and the spearhead is a stone that emits a blue light, like the stone spear used by the Earth Apes.

"I'm so thirsty." The No. [-] guard said hoarsely.

The No. [-] guard swayed and said weakly, "I'm thirsty too, please bear with it."

"I don't know what happened. Why did the holy well suddenly run out of water?"

Guard No. [-] licked his cracked lips, leaning on the spear to keep his body from falling to the ground.

The former mountain city was not short of water, because there was a deep well in the center of the city, which was called the holy well by the people of the mountain city.

The water in the well is continuous, supplying the people of the whole mountain city.

Only fourteen days ago, the holy well suddenly dried up, and no more water gushed out.

Relying on the water stored in advance, the people of the whole city endured for fourteen days.

"I hope the city lord can find a solution, otherwise we can only move out." The fourth guard had a bitter face.

"I can't hold on any longer, you guys stay on guard first, I'll go in and get some water." The No. [-] guard swayed and was about to faint on the ground.

"Okay, go and come back quickly." The other three guards waved their hands weakly.

The second guard staggered into the cave, supported by a spear.

Three other guards watched him enter the cave.

"Where can I find water, unless I go to the City Lord's Mansion."

The No. [-] guard showed bitterness on his face, leaned back slowly, and let out a breath while leaning against the mountain.

"Let him go." The third guard lowered his eyes.

The No. [-] guard walked into the cave, and the cave wall exuded blue light, illuminating him in blue.

ta ta ta ......

The passage into the city is 20 meters long, and the view is wider when you walk to the end, but it is still blue.

At the end of the passage is a downward staircase, and the mountain part is pulled out into an inverted cone-shaped space. The exposed stones emit a blue light, illuminating the mountain city.

The underground part is a karst cave, where the people of the mountain city live and build simple huts with wood and stones.

"Ahem...I want a drink of water."

The second guard walked down the stairs, and the blue light emitted from the ground made his face even uglier.

The stairs were not long, but he walked for a few minutes before reaching the bottom.

The streets here are very narrow, but there are more than [-] people living here. At this time, the city is very quiet, and weak coughing can be heard from time to time.

"I want water... water."

"I can't, I'm dying of thirst."

"..."

The No. [-] guard was walking on the street, laments and prayers could be heard from time to time.

"There's no water..." The No. [-] guard was a little fuzzy.

With willpower, he walked to the end of the street, which was the center of the city and where the holy well was located.

Although the ground in the center of the city is uneven, it is wide and has a square with a diameter of [-] meters.

In the middle of the square is the holy well, a deep well with a diameter of four meters and a depth of 50 meters.

At this time, many guards surrounded the holy well, and the rest of the weak city residents were blocked.

Someone shouted in a hoarse voice: "My lord, what's the matter, is there any water?"

"My lord, everyone can't hold on anymore."

"My lord, save us!"

"..."

The townspeople pushed each other to get closer to the holy well.

"Don't go any further, the city lord is already thinking of a way." The guard shouted loudly, blocking his body with a spear.

"The Lord City Lord has been down for a long time, but he hasn't come up yet, is there anything wrong?" Another guard whispered.

"Shut up and trust the Lord City Master."

The guards argued in low voices, making the scene even more chaotic.

Fortunately, people here are very weak, and they are powerless to break out conflicts.

In the holy well, there was a faint blue light, and a tall woman stood at the bottom of the well.

She is Qin Yu, the lord of the mountain city, 29 years old this year, with long cyan hair that hangs down to her hips.

There is a two-centimeter lightning-shaped mark between her eyebrows, which makes her look more majestic.

"There is still no water." Qin Yu frowned her slender eyebrows, knelt down and put her hands on the ground, looking at the blue sand and lost in thought.

"Dig a little deeper?"

Her eyes flickered, and her raised hand hesitated for a moment, remembering the words passed down by the city lords of the past: No matter what, the holy well must not be destroyed, otherwise there will be great terror.

"The holy well cannot be destroyed, but without water, how can my citizens survive?" Qin Yu was full of difficult choices.

"It doesn't matter, it's more important to survive, otherwise you have to leave the mountain city."

Her eyes became firm, and she decided to dig down the holy well to see if she could get water out.

Her raised right hand emitted blue light, and blue arcs burst out from between her fingers.

Qin Yu is an awakened electric element with the ability to release cyan lightning.

She swung her fist violently, and the explosive force blasted out a deep pit at the bottom of the well, half a meter deep.

She punched one after another, and the holy well became deeper and deeper.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The huge roar made the guards at the mouth of the well feel terrified.

"What happened?" came a dignified female voice.

A woman in blue stone armor appeared, followed by a group of guards.

"Commander Dai, the city lord is digging a well." The guard guarding the well saluted respectfully.

Diane, the only commander of the mountain city, has just entered the seventh level of strength, and is a mutant with a single horn on her forehead.

She was wearing a blue stone armor, and the whole armor stomach was made of those stones that would glow blue.

These blue stones not only emit blue light, but are also harder than ordinary stones.

"Dig a well!!" Diane's expression changed, she hurried to the well, and looked down at the bottom of the well.

She closed her eyes to avoid being blinded by the blue lightning.

Diane shouted urgently: "Master Qin Yu, the holy well cannot be destroyed."

"I don't care anymore, I have to dig out the water today." Qin Yu responded coldly, continuing to punch the ground.

"Master Qin Yu, you must not destroy the holy well no matter what." Diane persuaded again.

Qin Yu didn't respond at all, and punched the bottom of the well.

"This..." Diane's expression changed, but she was helpless. If she went to the bottom of the well now, she would be stunned.

Boom boom boom! ! !

There was still a sound of cracking in the well, and it was getting worse.

"Don't let anything happen to you." Diane folded her hands together and prayed.

She also knew in her heart that if no water was dug today, at least one-fifth of the people in the city would die of thirst tomorrow.

And the rest will die within the next two days.

If the city residents left the mountain city a few days before the water was cut off and went outside to find a new big city or water source, they might still be able to survive.

However, they believed too much in the holy well, thinking that the water would come out again in a few days, but they didn't expect that it would take fourteen days.

They have lost the possibility of leaving, and the tribes and city-states closest to the mountain city have to walk for five days and five nights.

With the current situation, ordinary people can't leave the mountain city for a day.

"I hope nothing will happen, I hope the water can be dug out..." Diane lowered her head and prayed quietly.

Boom! ! !

At the bottom of the well, Qin Yu swung his fist again, and the green electricity shot out, blasting the ground away.

After repeating it five times, with a muffled sound, the bottom of the well was opened, and cold water surged up, wetting Qin Yu's body.

"There's water."

With a happy expression on her face, she quickly withdrew her power, and her body was pushed up to the mouth of the well by the upwelling water.

wow~~

Water gushed out of the hole and soaked the square.

"There is water, finally there is water." The guards were astonished, and then followed the crowd to cheer.

The masses bent down to hold water to drink, regardless of whether the water was clean or not.

"Great, there is water again." The faces of the crowd were full of joy.

"call......"

Qin Yu landed lightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out her hand to brush away the long blue hair that was sticking to her face.

"Master Qin Yu, are you alright?" Diane hurried forward and looked at Qin Yu through the blue light from the stone wall...

"It's okay." Qin Yu waved her hand.

She sat on the edge of the well and looked at the cheers of the townspeople, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Master Qin Yu, this is too risky, what should I do if I find danger?" Diane's face was serious.

Qin Yu glanced at her friend who grew up with her in the past, and comforted her: "Everything is fine now, it's fine."

The good friend who grew up together in the past, she became the lord of the city, and the good friend became her right-hand man.

Diane said with a solemn expression: "I always feel uneasy. The warnings passed down by the city lords of the past are not just a joke."

"..." Qin Yu pursed her pale lips and remained silent.

She is worried in her heart, but there is no danger right now, so worrying is useless.

"Let the guards stay here, keep an eye on the situation of the holy well, and report to me immediately if there is any change." Qin Yu stood up and ordered with a serious face.

"Yes." Diane replied respectfully,

She sighed secretly, feeling more and more uneasy.

Qin Yu turned and left, going back to the City Lord's Mansion to rest.

"Don't be crowded, come one by one, there will be water." Diane shouted loudly.

"There's water."

The cheers from the crowd called everyone in the city.

There were crowds of people, holding all kinds of water storage objects in their hands, scrambling to fill the water.

"Cough..." Diane coughed lightly, feeling very thirsty, she also turned around and came to the well, took up water and poured it into her mouth.

She frowned, and looked intently into the holy well, there seemed to be something flashing at the bottom of the well.

However, the well was too deep, and the blue light on the walls of the well was not strong, so she couldn't see clearly.

Diane lowered her head and tried to see clearly, but found nothing else.

With a serious face, she said to herself: "Is it my eyes?"

"Come here." Diane turned around and called a chief guard.
