The boat bumped forward in the flood. Ling Chenyu gripped the oars tightly, his brows furrowed, his eyes as sharp as torches, always alert to the road conditions ahead.

The doubts in his heart surged like a flood - how could such a small amount of rain cause such severe floods?

Liu Yaoyao looked at the unusual scene outside and couldn't help but say, "No, such a little rain..."

Before she finished speaking, Yun Cui couldn't help but interrupt

Yes, we are just like boating in the rain, enjoying the romance!"

Yunborn rolled his eyes and gave her a slap on the head.

"Stop being funny, now is not the time to joke around."

There was neither the raging torrents of mountain torrents nor the merciless slaps of iron rain before my eyes.

It's not so much a flood as it's more like a switch is not turned on tightly, and the flowing water is rising.

In a moment, the water level rose to the tip of the window.

"Prince En, have all the flood control channels in Hushui County been opened?" Ling Chenyu asked.

Yun Boen nodded. "It has been arranged. The flood control channels in Hushui County have been opened to divert the flood water into the river as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the town.

However, there is something wrong with this flood and we need to be careful about how we deal with it.”

Ling Chenyu's eyes were sharp. At this moment, the boat suddenly jolted and almost capsized.

Everyone exclaimed and quickly steadied themselves.

Yun Cui was so frightened that her face turned pale. She held on to the side of the boat tightly and said, "What is going on? Are we going to be eaten by fish?"

Ling Chenyu glared at her and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here. Everyone sit tight, we have to speed up and find the source of the flood to see what's going on."

As the "living map" of Lake County, Yunborn knows every inch of land here.

As Ling Chenyu and Leng Ying Leng Feng rowed anxiously to find the source of the flood, he quickly pointed out several high-risk locations where floods might occur.

"I say, the first place we have to go is the 'Longkou Waterfall'. It is a natural barrier with turbulent water. If anything goes wrong, it will cause a flood."

Yun Boen said seriously, pointing to a point on the map.

Ling Chenyu and Leng Ying Leng Feng looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and rowed towards the direction of "Longkou Waterfall".

Along the way, they carefully avoided the turbulent currents, for fear that the boat would capsize if they were not careful.

However, when they arrived at the "Longkou Waterfall", they found that although the water flow here was turbulent, there was nothing abnormal.

The waterfall roared and poured down like a giant dragon with its bloody mouth opened, but it did not cause a flood.

"It seems there is no problem here." Ling Chenyu shook his head.

Following Yunborn's instructions, they went to the second and third places where floods might occur.

But every time they returned empty-handed. Although the water flow in those places was turbulent, it was all caused by the difference in terrain and there was nothing abnormal.

"What is going on?" Ling Chenyu frowned, puzzled.

At this moment, Leng Ying suddenly pointed to a valley ahead and said, "Your Majesty, look there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Leng Ying's finger, and saw a body of water in the valley bubbling up like a drunken immortal, as if it was performing a unique "fountain show".

The mist was lingering, sometimes thick like smoke, sometimes sparse like gauze, shrouding the entire valley in a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

"Wow, could this be some water god practicing martial arts?" Liu Yaoyao said in surprise, eyes wide open.

"I think it's more like the Dragon King is sneezing!" Yun Cui teased, not wanting to be outdone.

Yun Boen analyzed with a serious face: "This group of water mist is so abnormal, there must be something fishy. We have to be careful."

Ling Chenyu nodded, his eyes fixed on the mist, already having some guesses in his mind.

He knew very well that this cloud of mist was most likely the source of the flood.

He immediately ordered: "Let's row over and see what this cloud of water mist is all about."

Upon hearing this, everyone rowed their boats towards the mist.

As the boat got closer, they found that the water mist was not still, but was constantly rolling and surging, as if some force was driving it.

When the boat finally reached the edge of the mist, they were surprised to find that the mist was actually formed by countless tiny streams of water.

These waters flow out from the depths of the valley continuously, forming a huge whirlpool.

There seemed to be a hole in the center of the vortex, which constantly swallowed up the surrounding water, filling the entire valley with the roar of water.

"What on earth is going on?" Liu Yaoyao exclaimed.

"It looks like we found the source of the flood!"

Ling Chenyu said in a deep voice, "This cloud of water mist and whirlpool are all man-made. Someone is playing tricks here!"

"Playing tricks? Who is so bored as to do something like this here?" Yun Cui asked in confusion.

"Humph, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

Ling Chenyu snorted coldly, "We have to find a way to stop this vortex from continuing to spray water, otherwise the entire Lake County will be flooded."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, facing this huge vortex, they felt helpless. At this moment, Ling Chenyu suddenly had an idea...

Ling Chenyu took out a token, raised it above his head, and shouted: "I am the messenger of the King of Zhennan! Water God here, show up quickly!"

This shout made everyone laugh and cry.

Yun Cui couldn't help but complain: "Your Majesty, are you negotiating with the water god? Can it understand human language?"

Ling Chenyu smiled slightly and explained: "I am just testing to see if there is someone behind this."

Before he finished speaking, the water mist suddenly rolled up, as if some water god really was responding.

Everyone stared straight ahead, and when the mist suddenly rolled violently and a figure appeared and disappeared in it, everyone's heart rose to their throat at the same time.

The figure flashed by like a ghost, at a speed that was astonishingly fast.

The man was dressed in a black robe and a bamboo hat, like a mysterious figure walking out of an ancient scroll. His face was obscured by the shadow of the bamboo hat, leaving only a pair of deep eyes that flashed an elusive light.

Ling Chenyu and Leng Ying looked at each other, and saw surprise and a hint of inexplicable familiarity in each other's eyes.

They all thought at the same time: "Why does this figure... look familiar?"

Leng Feng was always straightforward. He rowed after him without hesitation, muttering, "I want to see who you are!"

Ling Chenyu took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and shouted to the crowd, "You go back first and notify the county to make flood prevention preparations. I will be there soon."

After saying that, Ling Chenyu jumped into the water without hesitation and swam towards the mist like a nimble fish.

His movements were swift and graceful, as if he were dancing in water.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but worry for him.
