Black Mountain faced fierce winds and heavy rain. On the other side of the mountain, only separated by White Dragon Pond, winds howled, and rain lashed mercilessly, nearly a thousand trees snapped in half. Falling rocks cascaded like hail, and massive amounts of muddy water tumbled down from the mountaintop.
"Damn, it's a mudslide." Yezi caught her breath and looked ahead, also startled. The mountain slopes were steep, making them prone to landslides and mudslides during the rainy season, but the villagers on both sides had responded to government calls to plant many trees in recent years. How could the trees on Leigong Mountain be so easily destroyed?
Yezi was unaware, but Xiao Xian had an inkling. In order to construct a dam, a stone dam had been built at the steepest part of the mountainside—that is, where Zhu Shijun used to train. A large number of trees were cut down for this, including the Dragon Tree.
