Chapter Ninety-Seven: Monsters?

Without those two high-level Protoss, the remaining rookies could not even exert thirty percent of their combat power in this state of completely invisible to the surrounding environment, and they were quickly all settled under the joint attack of me and my demon pets.

After killing the remaining Protoss, I threw all the corpses to Lilith for devouring evolution, although the more the same kind of Protoss eat, the worse the effect, but anyway, the corpses are no longer very useful, and it is good to give Lilith waste to use.

After taking back all the remaining evil mist, I set up the gate of the earth on the surface of the lake, and then summoned the little dragon maiden and said, "Can you move all the water from this lake into the lake of the Mother Earth Goddess?" ”

The Gate of the Earth is connected to the back garden of Mother Earth, but this so-called garden is actually a fairly large piece of land. There is a fairly large lake in the middle of this area, and if we pump all the water from the lake in front of us into the lake in the garden of Mother Earth, the water level of that lake will rise by one or two meters at most, which should not have much impact on the surrounding environment, and I think Mother Earth will not mind. Even if she's really upset, I'll just find a place to pour the water out when I get back.

When the little dragon girl heard my request, she observed the area of the lake, and then said, "It should be fine, but the area of this lake is relatively large, and it may take some time."

"How much time will it take?"

"It can take three to four hours to drain completely, but anyway, you just want to make it easier to salvage the treasure underneath, so you don't have to drain it all, you can basically do it in two or three hours.

"Then let's hurry up and get to work."

"Okay." After confirming the order, the little dragon girl flew to the surface of the lake, and then stretched out her hand to the surface of the water, and the entire lake instantly became a dense layer of white mist, and then those white mist began to roll and pour into the gate of the earth as if they came to life, and finally all floated into the lake of the mother earth and turned into water again and landed in the lake.

On the surface, this transformation speed may not seem very fast, but in reality it is quite terrifying. The little dragon girl had used this method to help me fight against the enemy's fire magic before, and at that time a small lake was drained, which shows that its speed is still very fast.

Actually, there were some of my pets that pumped faster, but I didn't want to take that risk. Ling's dimensional space magic is a small black hole, and the speed at which that thing absorbs water is absolutely exaggerated, as long as it sinks to the bottom of the lake, it will not take half an hour to drain the entire lake. But that method is too violent, and the black hole is uncontrollable at all, that is to say, it sucks everything, and when the water is drained, the baby will go in with it, won't we be busy in vain?

In the process of pumping the little dragon girl, we were not idle. All my diving pets have been sent out by me, and they will be responsible for collecting some treasures in advance in the water., anyway, although the little dragon girl's pumping method is fast, but it is very gentle, even if someone is in the lake, there will be no danger, and starting to collect in advance will also help improve efficiency, otherwise we can't stand there in a daze for two or three hours of little dragon girl pumping, right?

Originally, it seemed that the qiē was going very smoothly, but after pumping water for a few minutes, it was suddenly stopped.

"Stop. Stop it. ”

"What's going on?" Looking at the demon pets who had all stopped, I asked Ayana suspiciously.

Ayana pointed in one direction and said: "Just now when I was searching underwater for the specific sinking range of the treasure, I found that there are actually two big holes on the other side of the lake with other water sources, according to the principle of connecting pipes, if we pump water here, the water on the other two sides will automatically replenish this side, so we have to pump more than just this lake water." We don't know exactly how much water is there, and if there's more water over there, won't we'll never be able to pump it out? ”

"What? Are there any other passages underwater? ”

"Yes. There are two large openings.

The little dragon girl suddenly realized: "I said why didn't I see the water level drop after pumping for a long time!" If there is really a large body of water over there, then I can't do this, even if my magic power can withstand it, I don't care about time, and the lake of Mother Earth can't hold a lot of water! Draining this one lake is enough to fill the lake over there, and if it is pumped again, Mother Earth's backyard will be turned into a swamp!"

"So what are we-us going to do?" Lucky asked, "Isn't it okay to plug the hole?" ”

"Nope." Ling said: "The water in the lake here is warm, which means that there are lava pipes nearby, and if we block the water channel, it will inevitably change the pressure balance here, and it will be bad if the lava pipes break and the whole place will be submerged." It's okay to fish in the water, but it's not easy to fish in lava. Even if Xiaofeng and the others are not afraid of lava, but the light transmission of lava is almost zero, and if you want to find treasure in that kind of thing, you can only touch it with your hands, and it is estimated that such a large area will not wait for us to scoop things up, and the lava dagger will cool down first!

"It doesn't work to smoke, it doesn't work to block, so what should I do?" The little dragon girl asked.

Ling thought for a moment and said, "No matter what you do, you must first figure out where those two passages are connected. If there's not a lot of water on the other side, it's not impossible for us to spend a little more time draining it. If there's a lot of water, we'll think of something else. ”

"Yes, anyway, let's go and see the situation first." Immediately after I figured out the key

said to the little dragon girl: "Don't pump the water yet, help everyone go into the water to fish for things together." Ayana, you and I will go and find out the situation in the two passages first. Others were picked up on shore.

"Understood."

After assigning the job, I pulled the mask from my helmet down and jumped into the lake, where Ayana followed me and turned her legs back into the fishtail and flashed past me. Quan Quan doesn't have a lot of athleticism on land, but when you get into the water, you turn it completely upside down, and there are few of my pets who can catch up with her in the water, except for the little dragon girl.

Seeing that Ayana had already overtaken, I also spread my wings and incited. Although my wings were not originally designed for swimming, the mechanics of water and air are basically the same, so I can propel in water with my wings, but they are not very efficient. Of course, compared to human hands and feet, that good thing is much better, at least the wings are large enough when they are opened.

After flapping our wings a few times to catch up with Ayana, we swam together towards one of the passages. According to Ayana, the two passages she found were not all bad, because one of them was filling the lake with water and the other was pumping water from the lake. So "as long as we can find a way to get the water flowing in, the outlet side will not only not affect our pumping work, but will speed up our pumping speed." However, it cannot be said that the water outlet is necessarily a good thing, because the water outlet is not necessarily because the water area connected by the pipeline is lower than the terrain here, but also because the pressure of the other inlet is too high, and the lake is forcibly injected with water to the higher pipe on the other side. If that's the case, once we close that inlet, the original outlet will also be poured back, which means that both are inlets.

While thinking about how to block the passage, Ayana and I dived into the passage.

The width of this passage is relatively large, and the entrance is seven or eight meters in diameter, and it was not discovered at the beginning because the entrance was too large, and it was regarded as a large pit at the bottom of the lake by Ayana. However, the only thing that is really wide is the entrance, and as we go deeper, the inner passage becomes narrower and narrower. After about ten meters of diving down the passage in a near-vertical fashion, the passage went from eight meters in diameter to less than two meters in diameter, but this width was quite large for us. Anyway, with our body shape, as long as the diameter is not less than one meter, we can easily pass guò.

After continuing to descend five or six meters, the passage began to change from vertical to horizontal, and in the process of turning, the passage continued to shrink, and when the passage completely changed to a horizontal direction, it was only about one meter wide, and some of the parts were not even one meter wide, and I had to use eternity to cut off some rock protrusions to climb over. But fortunately, although the passage ahead has always been so narrow, it finally did not continue to shrink, and after climbing through a narrow area of more than 20 meters, the passage began to gradually widen again.

"It looks like there's an exit ahead." Ayana suddenly turned around and said.

"Tooth - go see.

When I heard Ayana's words, I grabbed the passage on both sides and pulled it back hard, and my body immediately got out of the passage. There seems to be a large area of water on this side of the channel, but the visibility in the water is not too high, so the exact area is not clear for the time being, and if you want to confirm the area, you must first surface. The wings were ready to work again in the spacious environment, and after a few successive flappings, my body immediately accelerated upwards and soon emerged from the water.

Originally, I was expecting the water here to be a small lake or something, so that it would be easier to control the flow, but after I surfaced, I completely dispelled my previous illusions. Because what we see in front of us is a huge underground ocean.

"Damn, how can there be such a large sea under the ground of the Russian God Realm?"

"I don't know." Ayana replied dryly, and then said, "But I definitely want to drain it."

There's no need to count on this. Drain this place, and Mother Earth will have to become a goddess of water!"

"Did you observe the situation in that passage along the way? Is it possible to seal

Stop up? ”

Ayana shook her head and said: "No, I have used ultrasonic probing, there is only a thin layer of rock wall between the lava layer and the waterway, forcibly blocking the channel will lead to two pressure changes on the rock wall, plus there is no cooling effect of the water flow, the rock wall will soon be burned through by the lava, and then the high-temperature lava will pour into the lake over there under the action of pressure, on the one hand, the water level will be raised and affect our work, and on the other hand, the influx of magma will eventually seal the entire cave, and then there will be nothing to fish." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't have to be that way. ”

"Is there any other way?" Ayana looked at me a little puzzled and asked.

"The rock wall can't withstand the pressure because the water here is drained and the heat makes the rock change

Soft, we just need to do the other way around. ”

"Lei: Come here?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to let the frost and snow freeze the whole passage? Water freezes into ice, and the volume increases

Large, not only can withstand the pressure, but also cool the opposite magma and thicken the rock wall. ”

"That's right. On the other side, should we also freeze it in the same way?

Come? ”

"Then it won't work." I explained: "Frost and Snow is alone, and you can't manage this side or that."

Side!

"Isn't there also Amenis?

"I've forgotten about it!"

Amenes' True Mirror ability allows her to completely replicate all the traits of a creature that is no more powerful than her, including the opponent's skills. Just have Emmenis replicate itself as Frost Snow with a real mirror image, and we'll have two super chillers, so we can freeze the two channels on either side to keep the water from flowing back. However, this will have to wait until the passage over there is investigated, in case it is indeed lower than this side, then there is no need to block it at all, but it can help speed up the emptying of the lake.

After swimming out of this passage, we did not immediately swim in from the other side, but first went ashore and notified the little dragon girl to bring frost and snow into the water to freeze the water and drought passage here. Although Frost Snow can spell ice, she can't manipulate water, so she must have the help of the little dragon girl to get her down to the bottom of the water to freeze the passage.

Also, the reason we didn't go into the other channel first was because we wanted to see which way the water was flowing over there. If this side is blocked and the other side still flows out, then you don't need to go over and look at it.

With the help of the little dragon girl, Frost and Snow quickly dived under the water to freeze the passage little by little, but because the nearby geothermal resources were too rich, this freezing time could only last for about eight hours, and then the ice began to melt. Of course, if Frost Snow has been replenishing mana by the side, it can last for a long time.

After Frost and Snow reported the situation, I dived with Ayana to the other passage to observe the situation, but the results were not very good. Xiaoxiao updates the full text as soon as possible every day. Although the water flow is very slow, this channel is indeed pouring back, according to this situation, the water pressure on the opposite side must be higher than this side, so it must be sealed together. But how to seal it will have to be observed. The structure of the underground passage may seem solid, but it is actually very fragile, and if its balance is broken, it is likely to collapse, and we dare not do it until we have investigated it.

Contrary to the previous passage, the entrance to this passage was quite narrow, and Ayana had to get into it lightly, but I had to widen it a little bit before I could barely squeeze in. However, the one-meter-long passage through Guò is significantly wider at the back. Behind the entrance, the passage suddenly expands into a huge pipe with a diameter of more than twenty meters, and it tends to grow wider and wider as we move forward.

Since the wider area allows us to fully spread our wings, we were much faster than we had been in the previous passage, but despite this, we still swam for almost twenty minutes without seeing an exit.

"Master, this table-passage seems to be very long, what should we do? Moving on? ”

I thought for a moment and said, "That's it." You're fast, just rush forward as fast as you can, and if you can't see the end in another ten minutes, you'll turn around and come back. ”

"Okay." Without my drag, Ayana's speed was noticeably faster. She's a mermaid herself, and the underwater environment is heaven for her, and once she lets go of the speed completely, it's like a rocket, and the string of bubbles I saw in the back of her stirring up is gone. However, although Ayana has come a long way, I can clearly feel the various messages transmitted back by her senses through the help of psychic contact.

From Ayana's sonar feedback signal, I found that this channel was actually horn-shaped, and the place we entered was the thinnest end, while the front was getting wider and wider, and finally even Ayana's sonar could not reach the edge. Although Ayana had been running away for five or six minutes now, I still gave the order to let her return. Since this position has been wide enough to reach this distance, there is no point in going any further, anyway, we already know that the water in this channel is basically not drained, and there should be no problem in blocking it, after all, we have not found any dangerous geological structures in the lava channel here, and with the diameter of the channel here, even if the lava layer is perforated, it will definitely be completely cooled by the water here, and it will not affect the situation on our side at all.

Ayana began to swim back after receiving my order, but as soon as she turned around, she and I suddenly received a vague sonar signal in our minds at the same time.

"What's that?" Because I don't have sonar myself, although the feedback signals I receive are the same, I can't analyze these signals as accurately as Ayana, and at most I can only get a rough sense of it.

After hearing my question, Ah Yan Tartar immediately replied, "I don't know, it's too far away, and the signal is very weak, but this thing can move on its own, and it is more than twice the size of an adult dragon." ”

There are only two cases when something can move itself, either it is a living thing or it is a man-made vehicle. It is obviously unlikely that such a thing as a submarine would appear in such a closed underground water system, so the more plausible explanation is that this thing is a living thing. In such a closed underground water system, there are living creatures that are moving, and they are so large, that it goes without saying that this thing is anything but good. If all my pets were here, and I'd be idle, I'd probably come over and see what it was, but in this case, it's better to have more than less.

"Ayana, leave that thing alone and hurry back."

I was about to swim back after giving the order, but who knew that Ayana suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, that thing is rushing towards me, so fast!"
