On the surface of the surging waves, a person used the last of his strength and finally swam to the shore.
He lay on the muddy ground, not caring if his clothes would be dirty.
He was too tired, but compared to his body, his heart was even more tired. His eyes were filled with fear that was almost tangible.
The scene that he had witnessed and experienced with his own eyes was like a nightmare.
He wasn't from any of the countries that had come to hunt the divine deer.
He was a soldier from Zhou Country.
The Zhou Country had declined and did not dare to compete with the dukes, but they still sent a group of people to investigate.
At that time, their team was more than ten kilometers away from the Red Cloud Mound. When they saw the terrifying force sweeping over, the range was large and the speed was fast. There was no way to escape. Fortunately, he was very good at swimming and was very lucky. His body was carried by the current for a long distance. After that, he tried his best to swim out. Fortunately, he did not deviate from the direction and swam to the shore alive.
" The vassal army is finished. The act of hunting the divine deer has angered the gods," the soldier who was lucky enough to survive muttered in fear. He had to return to the Zhou Country and tell the emperor what had happened so that the current emperor could dispel his desire for the divine deer.
That was not an existence that mortals could capture.
That was really a divine deer, the mount of a god. If mortals tried to obtain it, they would offend the heavens.
Time goes back a little
In the palace of the State of Zheng, Gong Zheng was scolding his subordinates.
The Deer God had appeared in their country, in their territory. It was such a good opportunity to prepare 15,000 troops for an ambush. In the end, it was all for naught and they had even lost nearly half of their manpower.
How could the Duke of Zheng accept such a huge defeat? The duck that was in his mouth flew away.
"Bastards, a bunch of trash, simply a bunch of trash. They let down my expectations of them. Shan Jing hasn't returned to the capital yet, right? Tell him not to come back. Tell him to go and snatch the Divine Deer for me. If he can't snatch it, let him bring his head back."
" Duke, the armies of the various feudal vassals have entered the northern part of our country. I'm afraid that the Deer God has already been captured by them. It's probably unrealistic for General Shan Jing to go and snatch it," an official told the truth awkwardly.
Duke Zheng walked over and kicked the official down.
" That's unrealistic. Shan Jing, that piece of trash, let the duck fly away. This is realistic. It's not easy for the Deer God to be in the territory of the State of Zheng. I…"
A loud rumble came from afar. The entire capital of the State of Zheng shook, and the palace was no exception.
Duke Zheng's face turned red with rage as he fell to the ground, his face pale from the shock.
" Earthquake! This is an earthquake! Did that deer god appear?"
The shadow of his experience in the State of Jin still lingered on the head of the Duke of Zheng. The shock at this moment aroused his fear at that time.
The ministers were also surprised and sent people out to investigate.
Initially, they thought that it was just an ordinary earthquake, but when the investigators returned, Duke Zheng and the ministers in the palace were all dumbfounded.
What did they hear?
The Red Mist Mound was flooded.
Not only that, the area hundreds of kilometers away was flooded. Some people could even pick up a few plump corpses of the vassal army soldiers floating by the lake.
When the investigators showed the bodies to State Duke Zheng, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had seen one of the bodies before. It was a general of Jin.
"Could it be that the armies of the various vassals that entered the State of Zheng were all wiped out? That divine deer changed the world in the State of Zheng and created an incomparably huge lake!”
.........
Five days later, what happened in the northern part of the State of Zheng spread throughout the world.
The dukes teamed up to hunt the divine deer, but they failed.
Not only did they fail, but they were also completely wiped out. More than 100,000 troops were swallowed by the divine deer's power of the gods.
When this piece of news was made known to the dukes of the various countries, their first reaction was that it was extremely absurd.
If the operation failed, it was still acceptable if they didn't capture much.
However, what did a huge lake that could affect a radius of 300 kilometers mean? Was he trying to fool them?
No one was willing to believe such a joke.
However, when they sent people to verify it with their own eyes, everyone fell silent.
The nobles who coveted the Deer God fell silent.
The various dukes who wanted to obtain the divine deer to satisfy their desires also fell silent. There was even a coup in Qi.
When the new Duke of Qi succeeded to the throne, he swore that if he could not catch the deer god, he would abdicate and give up his position. At first, it was just to stabilize his position as Duke as soon as possible. The new Duke of Qi did not think that the alliance of the vassals would fail, but God had slapped his face, and in such a terrifying way.
Some people used this as an excuse to force the Duke of Qi to step down and abdicate to a suitable person. As a result, the internal affairs of Qi fell into turmoil.
Although the situation in the State of Jin was not as serious as that in the State of Qi, Duke Ai of Jin, who had just succeeded the throne, had lost a lot of prestige because of this incident. He could not sleep all day, afraid that the divine deer would come to find him.
If an existence who had destroyed an army of more than 100,000 came to find trouble with him, even if he was the Duke of a country, he would be helpless.
At the same time, Duke Ai of Jin was both afraid and glad. Although Jin suffered heavy losses this time, so did other countries. In this way, the other vassals would not have the strength to deal with Jin.
In addition, Duke Ai of Jin had also dispelled some of the thoughts he shouldn't have about the divine deer.
Such an existence was not something he could covet. He did not want to follow in Duke Ding's footsteps so quickly.
.........
In a private school, Yao Xiang stood in front of Kong Qiu and reported everything she had seen and heard.
Even Kong Qiu, who was calm and wise and had taught countless students, couldn't help but exclaim when he heard Yao Xiang's final words.
This matter was far more serious than he had expected, and at the same time, it was more exciting.
"The various vassal kingdoms have suffered heavy losses this time. Over 100,000 people have been buried. This lesson will probably be remembered by those in the court for a long time. Yao Xiang, you have worked hard this time."
Yao Xiang blushed.
To be honest, she had helped very little in this operation. In the end, it was the Deer God's own strength that solved it.
" Teacher, I think I want to follow Mo Di for a period of time, so it might be a short period of time."
Kong Qiu looked at Yao Xiang's expression and was slightly stunned. He seemed to have noticed something and waved his hand with a smile."Everyone has been young before. Go, Yao Xiang. You don't have to worry about Teacher."
"Thank you, teacher. Please take care of yourself while Yao Xiang is away." Yao Xiang bowed respectfully and left.
After Yao Xiang left, Kong Qiu gathered a few disciples from the academy and recorded this incident together.
"Teacher, should we give that lake a name?"
"Name?"
Kong Qiu paused before saying,"This giant lake was formed because of the Divine Deer, let's call it Divine Deer Lake."
