Chapter 405: Immortals Fight, Mortals Suffer?
As the massive rocks tumbled down, they stirred up clouds of dust, dislodging the loose soil and stones that had become slightly active over time due to the wind and sun, but had yet to fall. It was impossible to know how many rocks there were... even a small peak had completely collapsed along with this "rock avalanche"...
My goodness, it's the end of the world!
Before the Heavenly Rift Pass, dust soared into the air, making it impossible to see even a hand in front of one's face!
The large rock that had charged down first acted like a pioneer, surging forward with tremendous momentum, pushing out about a hundred meters before finally coming to a halt.
Then came the second, third, and fourth...
With a thunderous roar, enormous rocks fell one after another, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, seemingly endless... The cries of despair below were drowned out by the earth-shattering noise of the falling stones...
The entire Slant Valley was a scene of utter devastation!
The people near the Slant Valley Exit were safe; the rocks rolled down the slope, all crashing inward, moving deeper into the valley...
The Slant Valley was divided into three sections!
The rear section was safe; the middle section was a bloodbath, and the front section was also unharmed.
However, this bloody middle section spanned nearly three to four hundred meters! None of the soldiers or horses survived!
Wu Kuangyun at the Heavenly Rift Pass only saw a sudden cloud of dust rise, followed by continuous rumbling sounds. Then, the entire Slant Valley was shrouded in dust, his ears were deafened, and he felt his body shaking violently. He strained his eyes to look outward but could see nothing.
He only knew that the Great Zhao’s army had vanished in the Slant Valley, but he had no idea what had happened; the distance was simply too far. He couldn’t see the large stones raining down from the mountaintop like hail, and his mind was racing with questions: What is going on? What actually happened?
Heavenly gods, is there a deity who knows of my suffering, coming down to grant me such a thrilling visual and auditory feast...
Feeling the vibrations beneath his feet, many weapons that were lying on the ground surprisingly lifted off the ground, clanging together...
Fortunately, the Heavenly Rift Pass was incredibly sturdy, and such vibrations could not shake the iron foundation, allowing it to survive.
However, one side of the city wall collapsed. Thankfully, it fell inward toward their own country; otherwise, they would have been doomed.
Wu Kuangyun fervently prayed in his heart, feeling relieved and then gloating: Get rid of those bastards! Wipe them out...
Thousands of large rocks fell. In a typical siege, such rolling logs and stones would not cause much damage, but... coming down from an altitude of 8,000 meters, the force could not be compared to stones thrown from a city wall!
If one were to force a comparison, one might say one was an elephant, and the other was just a hair on the elephant's leg...
After thousands of rocks had finally stopped falling, the surrounding mountains ceased their trembling. The sound of rumbling remained in everyone's ears, but the actual noise had ceased.
Over a million people were rendered deaf!
Those who were still alive could only see each other’s mouths moving, but they could hear nothing at all.
The three tiger generals stepped out of their tents, their faces as pale as paper, filled with fear, mouths agape, their eyes bewildered, still unable to comprehend why such a thing had occurred.
They shook their heads vigorously, slapped their ears, splashed cold water on their faces, and desperately drank water, and after a long while, they could barely hear a little sound. Looking around, they saw that most of the soldiers had blood streaming from their ears, clearly injured by the massive vibrations that had injured their eardrums; some had even become permanently deaf...
“What’s going on? What is happening?” The golden tiger general, Golden South Opens, roared, his expression fierce, but everyone around stared blankly at his moving mouth, unable to hear anything.
