Chapter 116: The Tempest (Part II)

Systm came into this world, and the rainstorm that awoke not long ago was not accidental.

From the beginning of summer to the end of summer, there are one or two continuous rainstorms, and each time the rain arrives at different times and on a different scale.

However, the nezumi surprisingly knew when the next rainy season would come, and according to the male's description, Heatham learned that the next rainy season would come within half a month.

The male nezumi is very firm in his words, and seems to be extremely sure of the arrival of the rainy season.

But why exactly it knows, because of the language barrier, Systm only knows a little about it.

Sistemm speculated that it was something like a nezumi wizard, divination or something, and guessed the time of the next rainstorm.

As a race that lives underground, it makes sense to be wary of rain that could flood their nests.

However, the nezumi had a sneaky look in his eyes, which made Systm feel awkward.

Maybe the nezumi looked like this, but it made Systm think about it, and he suddenly thought of something strange today.

Although the nezumi know a general range for the arrival of the rainy season, they are not precise, only that the rainstorm will come within half a month.

In other words, there is a possibility of heavy rain every day.

So why did this nezumi warrior brave the torrential rain that could fall at any time to not deal with the impending flood situation in the nezumi gathering place, and instead took the risk to come here to investigate?

This is clearly not quite logical.

The nezumi must have been hiding something, or he didn't understand something, or the clever nezumi warrior had lied to him.

Because he has too few nezumi vocabulary and is unable to speak out to interrogate, it will definitely take a lot of time for Sister and Blake to interrogate the nezumi.

However, if what the nezumi said is true, and the rainy season is coming, Sistemm must prepare as soon as possible before the rain floods his lair.

Systm didn't have much time to interrogate the rat-man in detail.

After torturing the castrated nezumi with its aphrodisiac tentacles, Systm began to inspect the excavator's flood control of the nest.

In the process of selecting the nest, Heatham considered the waterproofness of the nest, so the nest was built on higher ground.

However, on the plains, it is obviously unrealistic to want to be close to a water source and want to be on high ground.

Therefore, the location of the nest chosen by Heatham is not particularly high, and of course, if Heatham knew that the excavator could find groundwater, he would not have had to choose the location near the river.

However, due to the excavator's manipulation of the soil, most of the outer walls of the passages in the nest are extremely dense, which can effectively prevent rainwater from penetrating.

All you need is an excavator to reinforce some of the less sturdy outer walls of the nest, and raise the entrance to the nest to prevent rainwater from accumulating and pouring into the nest.

After a long day of excavator work, a half-meter-high conical mound has formed at the entrance of the nest.

Systm also used the ability of [Grow Plants] to camouflage the vicinity of the mound with vines, making the mound not very obtrusive.

……

Busy with his work, Sistemm flew into the sky as usual and began to observe the direction of the Lierte Forest and the Nezumi gathering place in the distance.

Heatham could see that the Nezumi Colony had a sporadic number of Nezumi and Rats busy at the entrance to the tree hollow, and that some Nezumi were carrying food to the lower hillside, where there seemed to be several Nezumi burrows.

It seems that the nezumi is not a lie when he says that the rainy season is coming.

The elves in the Lierte Forest are still planting trees and plants, and some elves are playing with a few leopards.

Looking at the treehouses that the elves had created in the trees, Heatham knew that the elves didn't have to fear the rain at all.

In the course of this flight, Systham also watched the black clouds approaching in the eastern part of the Lierte Forest more than 1,000 kilometers away.

The turbulent and tumbling black clouds were like a big hand reaching out from afar, trying to cover all the Lierte Forest and the Warren Plains.

Sistum's blood trembled slightly, and once again his [intuition] felt uneasy.

The storm is coming......

……

After a few hours, the winds that were blowing on the Warren Plains gradually stopped, and the air pressure gradually decreased.

Even though Systm had informed the ants of the rainstorm in advance, the ants inevitably became flustered and anxious.

It seems that his ant people also sensed the arrival of the rainstorm in advance from the change in air pressure and the humid air.

Ants are creatures that have a natural fear of heavy rain.

It was a little later than Sistem's had predicted, and it wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that the crackling rain began to fall.

And when the heavy rain first came, there was a small hailstorm, which dropped some ice cubes the size of pigeon's eggs, and Sistemm also absorbed some ice energy for the first time in a long time.

Syst had thought that the hail would cause Ola to react to the empty room that had been lazy, after all, Ola loved the energy of frost.

Unfortunately, the hailstones did not interest Ola in the slightest.

Ola prefers to sleep rather than these hailstones.

Eating the two hailstones that had fallen into the nest, Heatham looked at Blake on the side, "How is that nezumi doing?" ”

"Because hunger has just wailed for a while, and now it is paralyzed by the paralyzing toxin."

The tentacles above Systham's head moved slightly, revealing a pensive expression.

"Didn't the nezumi react otherwise?" Systm continued.

Blake shook her head, she didn't find any clues.

……

Ever since he learned that the rainstorm was coming, Sistem's [intuition] had been sending uneasy feelings to him from time to time these days.

Systm had always thought that his uneasiness was due to the rainstorm, which might be a bit heavy this time, causing his ant people to be damaged again.

However, this was not the case, the heavy rain mixed with hail was fierce, but it was not as heavy as Sistemm had imagined, and it was not really a threat to the well-prepared lair.

It was precisely because of this that Sistrem, who had been watching the rain and hail fall for a while, was able to retreat back into the nest with peace of mind.

Even with continuous rainfall, which caused the water level in the plains to rise by one meter, and the presence of an excavator that could keep the entrance to the lair higher, Heatham couldn't imagine what kind of threat he would face.

The rest of the suspicion is naturally on the rat-man who was imprisoned by him.

Unlike the unreliable [insect intuition], [intuition] has never gone wrong since the third metamorphosis to listen to the world's voices and gain the ability to [perceive] and [intuition].

Something bad must be going to happen.

Although he felt that there was still some value for this nezumi to stay, but after thinking for a while, Sistemm had any means to prevent the nezumi from spreading the news, or what means the nezumi had to sense his companions.

He decided to dispose of the nezumi ahead of time.
