Chapter 116: Storm (below)

　　Sisterm came to this world, and the heavy rain shortly after waking up was not accidental.
　　 From early summer to late summer every year, there will be one or two continuous rainstorms here. The time of each rain and the scale of rain are different.
　　 But this rat man surprisingly knew when the next rainy season would come. According to the description of the male rat man, Systrom knew that the next rainy season would come within half a month.
　　 The words of the male rat man are very firm, seeming to be extremely sure of the arrival of the rainy season.
　　 But specifically why it knows, because the language is not clear, Systrom only knows a little.
　　 Sisterm speculated that it should be something like a scavenger wizard, divination or something else, and speculated the time of the next rainstorm.
　　 As a race living underground, it is obviously reasonable to be prepared for rain that might flood their lair.
　　 However, the scavenger eyes were sneaky, which made Systrom always feel very awkward.
　　 Maybe the scavenger's eyes were born like this, but Systrom couldn't help but think about it, and he suddenly thought of something strange today.
Although the 　　 rat people know a rough range of the rainy season, they are not precise. They only know that the rainstorm will arrive within half a month.
　　 In other words, there is a possibility of heavy rain every day.
　　 Then why did this scavenger warrior brave the torrential rain that might fall at any time, instead of dealing with the upcoming flood in the scavenger gathering place, and instead ventured here to investigate?
　　 This is obviously not logical.
　　 The rat man must have concealed something, or he did not understand some of the rat man’s words, or the clever rat man warrior lied to him.
　　Because of the lack of vocabulary of the Ratman, and the fact that Sisterm was unable to speak out inquiries, the interrogation of Sisterm and Black would definitely take a lot of time.
　　 But if what the Ratman said is true, and the rainy season is coming, Sisterm must also prepare as soon as possible to prevent the rain from flooding his lair.
　　 Sistrom didn't have much time to interrogate the rat man in detail.
　　 After using the tentacles with aphrodisiac effect to torture the castrated ratman, Sisterm began to inspect the flood control transformation of the excavator on the nest.
　　In the process of choosing to build the nest, Systrom took into account the waterproofness of the nest, so he established the nest in a higher position.
　　 However, on the plains, it is obviously unrealistic to want to be close to the water source and high terrain.
　　 Therefore, Sisterm’s choice of nest location is not particularly high. Of course, if Sisterm knew that the excavator could find groundwater, he would not have to specifically choose a location adjacent to the river.
　　 However, because of the excavator's manipulation of the soil, most of the channels in the nest are extremely dense, which can effectively prevent rainwater from infiltrating.
　　 only need an excavator to reinforce part of the outer wall of the nest that is not too strong, and raise the entrance of the nest to prevent rainwater from accumulating and pour it into the nest.
　　 After a whole day of rushing to work with an excavator, a cone-shaped mound with a height of half a meter has been formed at the entrance of the nest.
　　Sistem also used the ability of [Promoting Plants] to camouflage the vicinity of the mound with vine plants, making the mound not very obtrusive.
　　……
　　 After finishing his work, Sisterm flew up to the sky as usual, and began to observe the direction of the Lierte Forest and the rat-man gathering place in the distance.
Sisterm can see the scavengers gathering place with sporadic scavengers and mice busy at the entrance to the tree hole, and some scavengers carrying food to the higher hillside, there seems to be several Ratman cave.
　　 It seems that the rainy season mentioned by the rat man is not a fake.
　　The elves in the Lilter Forest did not have any obvious actions. They were still planting trees and plants, and some elves were playing with a few leopards.
　　 Looking at the tree house made by the elves on the tree, Systrom knew that these elves didn't have to fear rain at all.
　　 And Sisterm also watched the black dark clouds floating over the Lierte Forest thousands of kilometers away during this flight.
　　 The turbulent black cloud is like a big hand stretching out from a distance, trying to cover the Lierte Forest and the Warren Plains.
　　 Systrom's blood trembled slightly, and his [intuition] felt uneasy again.
　　 The storm is coming...
　　……
　　 After a few hours, the constant high winds on the Warren Plains gradually stopped and the air pressure gradually decreased.
　　 Even if Systrom notified the ants of the rainstorm in advance, the ants inevitably became flustered and anxious.
　　 It seems that his ant subjects have also sensed the arrival of heavy rain in advance from the change in air pressure and the humid air.
　　 Ants are creatures, they have a natural fear of heavy rain.
　　 A little later than Sisterm's expectation, it wasn't until the early hours of the night that the crackling rain began to fall.
　　 And when the heavy rain first came, there was a small hailstorm, dropping some ice cubes the size of pigeon eggs, and Systrom had also absorbed some ice energy after a long time.
　　Sisterm thought that these hailstones would cause Aura to have some reaction when she slept around in the empty room. After all, Aura liked the energy of frost.
　　 But it is a pity that these hailstones did not interest Ola at all.
　　 Compared to these hail, Ola still prefers to sleep.
　　 After eating two hailstones that fell in the lair, Sisterm looked at Black who was aside: "How is that ratman now?"
　　 "Because hunger has just wailed for a while~EbookFREE.me~ is now paralyzed by paralytic toxin."
　　 The tentacles on top of Systrom's head moved slightly, revealing a contemplative expression.
　　 "Is there no other reaction from that ratman?" Sisterm continued to ask.
　　 Black shook her head, she found no clue.
　　……
　　 After learning that the rainstorm was approaching, Systrom's [intuition] sent him an uneasy feeling from time to time these days.
　　Sisterm always thought that his anxiety was due to the heavy rain. Perhaps this heavy rain would be a bit heavy, causing his ant people to be injured again.
　　 However, this is not the case. The heavy rain mixed with hail is fierce, but it is not as big as Sisterm imagined. It is actually not a threat to the well-prepared lair.
　　 It is precisely because of this that Sisterm, who has been observing the falling rain and hail for a while, can retreat into the lair with peace of mind.
　　Even if the continuous rainfall caused the water level in the plain to rise by one meter, and the presence of an excavator, the entrance to the nest could continue to rise. Sisterm couldn't think of the threat he would face.
　　 The rest of the doubt is naturally on the rat man who was imprisoned by him.
　　Different from the unreliable [Insect Intuition], since the third time I degenerate listening to the world's sounds and gain the ability of [perception] and [intuition], [Intuition] has never made a mistake.
　　 Something bad must happen.
　　 Although I think there is some value in this rat man staying, but after thinking about it for a while, what is the means by Sisterm to prevent the rat man from spreading the news, or what means the rat man has to sense his companions.
　　 He still decided to deal with this rat man in advance.
