Chapter 835 444: Young Hero Duan Keeps His Word—He’ll Be Sure to Greet Your Whole Family’s Teeth!
Overcast sky, approaching noon, this is usually when the laborers are most exhausted and eager to relax.
Because soon it will be time to eat, and after a whole morning's work, both physically and mentally, they wish for a break.
But the people digging this river are an exception.
At this time, they are working with great enthusiasm and vigor.
"Oh, less than half an hour to go before rest, we must hurry up."
"Damn it, why do we have to eat and rest again; can't we cut out the meals and breaks here."
"No way, I haven't worked enough!"
"Seriously, haven't had enough!"
"Can Young Hero and Heroine stop treating us like humans?"
"Yeah, this life is easier than being cattle, what kind of lousy day is this, taking so much money, it makes one feel guilty."
...
Their enthusiasm for work is beyond imagination, not only because of good pay and proximity to home but also because they regard Duan Yun as one of their own and fear for his loss.
In other places, if you say a Sect Elder or Sect Leader treats a worker as one of their own, people would surely think you're a fool, but here, in the Heroic Land managed by the Jade Pearl Heroes, even ordinary people have this feeling, let alone these Jianghu people.
Yes, even though in the Heroic Land they can't commit adultery or murder, they still regard themselves as a level above civilians, thus feeling even more like one of Duan Yun's own.
A group of people worked vigorously; indeed, whoever lets you rest more, you'll get angry with them, which is one reason this river was completed earlier than expected.
Just as the group was working frenetically, Old Leng from the Iron Claw Sect was digging, but suddenly stopped.
"Old Leng, why are you standing there dazed? Don't block the way!"
"My fingernail cracked."
"If your fingernail cracked, then rest."
"No, my granny said, my family's inherited nails are like Divine Turtle Shells, once they crack, something bad might happen."
"Get out of here, are you a digger or a fortune-teller."
Suddenly, Old Leng looked towards one end of the river channel and said, "Listen, what's that sound?"
"What sound...wait!"
At this moment, everyone heard the sound.
A loud rumbling!
Approaching quickly from afar.
The next moment, everyone's face changed.
"Quick...run!"
When the "run!" word was out of his mouth, the whole person was already swept away.
Water!
The tumultuous water rushed forward rapidly.
This river wasn't completed, naturally not the time for water release, so this sudden stream caught everyone off guard.
Even these people who are trained martial artists were left screaming miserably; some aren't good swimmers and have started to struggle.
Duan Yun did not witness the violent impact of the river current, as he was still in Small Spring Town shopping.
This seemed quite ordinary to Duan Yun, but just then, Tang Wanwan suddenly protected him with tension in her face, saying, "Someone's here."
Duan Yun, puzzled, said, "There are people everywhere here."
Tang Wanwan looked around, her expression solemn, "Someone is harmful to you."
Tang Wanwan, Yu State's top-rated "Heavenly Sensitive Saint Body," is highly attuned to threats she cares about.
Duan Yun initially didn't care since many wanted him dead, even in this Heroic Land, there was no lack of "Heroic Villains" waiting for an opportunity, but those small fries were like dust to him now, not worth mentioning.
But in the next moment, Duan Yun's expression also became serious.
For Tang Wanwan's perception is quite sharp and accurate, if it wasn't a real threat, she wouldn't mind.
Now with her intense protective stance, Duan Yu could even see goosebumps on her fair neck; that could only mean the incoming person might be threatening to him.
There's a master here!
Duan Yun's eyes scanned around like lightning, without detecting any anomalies for now.
Because this Small Spring Town was already crowded, and due to its proximity to their Yuzhu Manor, its popularity had surged.
The presence of Jade Pearl Heroes in Yuzhu Manor caused a slight shift in Wangchun City's core status, which was enough to turn "Small Spring Town" into "Small Spring City."
The expanded Small Spring Town now, twice articulated, could aptly be called a city.
After some time, the goosebumps on Tang Wanwan's neck disappeared, cautiously saying, "Left?"
Before long, someone ran over, gasping for breath, "Young Hero Duan, something, something has happened!"
When Duan Yun arrived at the river section, the water had just destroyed a nearby unfinished sluice gate, leaving devastation.
The workers in the river, skilled swimmers, were heroically saving people; some were injured, and some were still unaccounted for.
Without a word, Duan Yun dove into the water, his "Room Pupil Technique" activated, instantly turning the murky water clear.
As Duan Yun swam through, one by one, people in the water were thrown out.
As these people landed ashore, they felt light as feathers, thanks to the incorporated Soft Strength.
"Count the people."
Duan Yun said after surfacing.
Like the last time when Old Yin Forest caught fire, this time the rushing water similarly caught everyone by surprise, with equally astounding destructive power; however, as reinforcements from all directions joined, this chaotic situation quickly improved.
Especially with Duan Yun's presence, able to save and heal, even those severely injured were soon treated.
As long as he's here, even if barely alive, there's nothing to worry about.
