Vol 18 Chapter 97: Is there a monster?

Without the two high-level protoss, the remaining rookie could say that even 30% of the combat power could not be waved out in such a state that the surrounding environment was completely invisible. It was quickly attacked by me and my magic pets. All flat.
After killing the remaining Protoss, I threw all the corpses to Lilith for engulfing evolution. Although the more similar protoss eat, the worse the effect is, but the corpse is no longer useful anyway, it is good to use Lilith waste.
After recovering all the remaining evil fog, I stood the gate of the earth on the lake, and summoned the little dragon girl road: "Can you move all the water in this lake into the lake of the earth goddess?"
The gate of the earth is connected to the back garden of the mother of the earth, but this so-called garden is actually a lot of 6 areas. In the middle of this area, there is just a very large lake. If the water in the lake in front of us is pumped into the lake in the garden of Mother Earth, at most, the water level of that lake will rise. It's only one or two meters. This should not have much impact on the surrounding environment. I don't think the mother of the earth would mind. Even if she is really upset, I will find another place to pour out the water.
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 to seal the throne.
"How much time does it take to seal the throne?"
"It may take three to four hours to drain completely, but anyway, you just want to easily salvage the treasures underneath. There is no need to drain all of them. It takes about two or three hours to get the job done.
"Then work quickly."
"Okay." After confirming the order, the little dragon girl flew over the lake, and then reached out and pointed at the water. The entire lake was instantly filled with a dense white mist, and then the white mist seemed to come back to life. Began to roll into the gate of the earth, and finally drifted into the lake of the mother of the earth and turned into water again and landed in the lake.
On the surface, this degree of conversion is not very fast, but in fact it is quite scary. Little Dragon Girl used this method to help me fight against the enemy's flame magic before. At that time, I drained a small lake. It can be seen that its speed is still very fast.
In fact, there was a faster pumping speed in my magic pet, but I didn't want to take that risk. Ling's dimensional space magic is a small black hole. The water absorption of that thing is absolutely exaggerated. As long as it is sunk into the bottom of the lake, the lake can be completely drained in less than half an hour. But that method is too violent, and the black hole is completely beyond control, that is, it everything, then the water is drained, and the baby goes in with it. Are we not busy?
We didn't sit idle while the dragon girl was pumping. All my diving pets are sent out by me, and they will be responsible for collecting some treasures in advance in the water. Anyway, although the dragon girl's pumping method is very fast, it is very gentle, even if someone is in the lake, there will be no It ’s dangerous, and starting collection in advance also helps improve efficiency. Otherwise, we ca n’t just stand there for the two or three hours when the dragon girl pumps.
Everything seemed to be going well, but after being pumped for several minutes, it was suddenly stopped.
"Stop it. Stop it."
"What's the matter?" Looking at the all-stopped pets, I asked Arana in doubt.
Ariana pointed in one direction and said, "Just when I was searching for the specific sinking range of the treasure underwater, there were actually two large holes on the other side of the lake, which are connected to other water sources. According to the principle of connecting pipes, if we are here While pumping, the other two sides of the water will be automatically replenished to this side. In this way, we will pump more than just the water of this lake. We do n’t know how much there is, and if there is still With more water, don't we never finish pumping? "
"What? There are other channels under the water?"
"Yes. There are two big openings.
The little dragon girl said suddenly and realized: "I said why I haven't seen the water level drop for a long time! If there is really a large area of ​​water connected there, then I can't do it like this. In the case of the Indian throne, the mother of the earth ca n’t hold most of the water! It ’s enough to drain this lake to fill the lake there. If you pump it again, the mother ’s back garden will become a swamp. It's up! "
"Then what do we-men do?" Lucky asked: "Isn't it possible to block the opening?"
"No." Ling said: "The lake here is warm, indicating that there are lava tubes passing nearby. If we block the flow channel, it will inevitably change the pressure balance here. In case of lava tube rupture, the entire area will be flooded. Oops. It ’s no problem to fish in the water. It ’s not easy to fish in the lava. Even if Xiaofeng is not afraid of lava, the opacity of the lava is almost zero. I want to find treasure in that kind of thing You can only touch it with your hands. It is estimated that such a large area can't wait for us to take things away, and the lava dagger cools down first!
"Neither pumping nor blocking, what should I do?" Xiaolong asked.
Ling thought for a while: "No matter what to do, we must first figure out where the two passageways are connected. If there is not much water on the opposite side, we need to spend more time on the Seal of the Seal of God to drain it. It is not impossible. There is a lot of water, so let's think of another way. "
"Yes, anyway, go and see the situation first." I wanted to understand the key immediately
To Xiaolong Nvdao: "Don't pump water first, help everyone go down the water to fish things together. Alana, you go with me first to understand the situation in the two passages before the others. Others respond on shore.
"understand."
After I was assigned the job, I pulled down the mask on the helmet and jumped into the lake, and Ariana followed me into the water, then turned my legs back to fish tail and passed by me. The punching ability on the 6th floor is not very outstanding, but it will be completely inverted after entering the water. Except for the little dragon girl, few of my magic pets can catch her in the water.
Seeing that Ariana had passed, I also spread my wings to incite. Although my wings were not originally designed for swimming, the mechanical structure of water and air is basically the same, so the wings can also be propelled in the water, but they are not very efficient. Of course, compared with human hands and feet, that good thing is much better, at least the area of ​​the wings is large enough.
After flapping our wings a few times to catch up with Aona, we swam together towards one of the passageways. According to Ariana, not two of her current passageways are bad, because one of the two passageways is pouring water into the lake, and the other is pumping water from the lake. So "As long as we can find a way to get the inlet where the water flows in, the outlet side will not only affect our pumping work, but will speed up our pumping. But it ca n’t be said that there must be a good thing, because now the outlet The water coming out of the water outlet is not necessarily because the water area connected by that pipeline is lower than the terrain here. It may also be because the pressure at the other inlet is too high, which causes the lake to forcibly inject water into the pipeline on the other side. If that is the case Then, once we close that water inlet, the original outlet will be backflushed back, which means that both are water inlets.
While considering the method of blocking the passage, Ariana and I dived into the passage.
The width of this passage is relatively large, with a diameter of seven or eight meters at the entrance. At first, because the entrance was too large, it was treated as a large pit on the bottom of the lake by Ariana. However, the only thing that is really wide is the entrance. As we continue to deepen, the internal passages become narrower and narrower. After nearly ten meters of diving down the channel in a nearly vertical manner, the channel changed from the original eight meters in diameter to less than two meters now, but this width is already quite large for us. Anyway, with our body shape, as long as the diameter is not less than one meter, we can easily pass.
After continuing to descend for five or six meters, the channel began to change from vertical to horizontal, and the channel continued to shrink during the turn. When the channel completely changed to a horizontal direction, it was only about one meter wide, and Some of them are not even one meter wide, and I have to cut off some of the protruding parts of the rocks with eternity before climbing. Fortunately, although the channel in front has always been so narrow, it did not continue to shrink, and after gradually climbing through a narrow area of ​​more than twenty meters, the channel gradually widened.
"It looks like the exit is ahead," said Ariana suddenly.
"Tooth-go and see.
When I heard Ariana's words, I grabbed the aisles on both sides and pulled back hard, and my body immediately got out of the aisles. This channel seems to be a large area of ​​water, but because the visibility in the water is not too high, the specific area is not yet clear. If you want to confirm the area, you must first surface. In a spacious environment, the wings could swing again. After I fanned several times in a row, my body immediately floated upward, and soon emerged from the water.
Originally I expected the water area here to be a small lake or something, so that I could better control the flow of water, but after it surfaced, I completely dispelled the previous illusion. Because it appears to us that there is a huge and huge underground ocean.
"I rely, how can there be such a large sea under the ground of the Russian gods?"
"I don't know," Arana replied simply, and then said, "But I definitely want to drain.
No need to count here. Drain this place, and the earth goddess must become a of water! "
"Did you observe the situation in that passage just now? Could it be closed?
Blocking? "
Ah Na shook her head and said, "No, I have detected it with sound waves. There is only a thin layer of rock wall between the lava layer and the water channel. Forcibly closing the channel will cause the rock wall to change pressure. The cooling effect of the water stream will quickly burn through the lava. At that time, high-temperature lava will flood into the lake under the pressure, which will raise our water level and affect our work. The magma will eventually seal the entire cave, and then there will be nothing to catch. "
I thought about it, "It doesn't have to be this way."
"Is there any other way?" Ariana looked at me with a little doubt and asked.
"The rock wall can't stand the pressure because the water here has been drained, and the high temperature can make the rock
Soft, we just need to turn it around. "
"Lei, come here?"
"Let frost and snow freeze the whole channel? It will increase in volume when frozen into ice.
Large, not only can withstand the pressure, but also can cool the opposite magma to thicken the rock wall. "
"Yeah. Should we freeze it the same way on the other side?
Come? "
"Then it won't work." I explained: "Shuangxue is alone.
Side!
"Aren't there Emmys?
"I forgot this stubble!"
Emmys' true mirroring skills allow her to fully replicate all the characteristics of a creature that is too powerful for her, including the opponent's skills. As long as Emmys is copying himself into frost and snow with a real image, we have two-stage refrigerators, so that the two channels on both sides can be frozen to ensure that water will not return. However, we have to wait until the other side of the channel is investigated first. In case the side is indeed lower than this side, there is no need to block it at all, but it can help add water to the lake.
After swimming out of the channel here, we did not immediately swim in from the other side, but first went ashore and notified Xiaolong Nv to bring the frost and snow to the water to freeze the drought-water channel. Although Frost and Snow can spell spells, she can't manipulate the water, so she must have the help of a dragon girl to get her to the bottom to freeze the channel.
In addition, the reason we didn't enter the other channel first was because we wanted to see first where the water flow was going. If there is still an outflow after being blocked here, you don't have to look over it.
With the help of Cun Xiaolong, Frost and Snow quickly dived into the bottom of the water to freeze the passage a little bit, but because the nearby geothermal resources are too rich, the frozen seal of the God of Throne can only last about eight hours. Then the ice started to melt. Of course, if Frost has been replenishing magical powers, it will be possible to persist for a long time.
After Frost Xue reported the situation, I dived into the other channel with Ariana to observe the situation. The result was not very good. Although the water flow is very slow, this channel is indeed being poured back. According to the analysis of this situation, the water pressure on the opposite side must be higher than this side, so this channel must be sealed together. However, how to seal it has to observe and say. The structure of the underground passage looks solid, but it is very fragile. Once its balance is broken, it is likely to cause collapse. We dare not act violently before investigating.
Contrary to the previous passage, the entrance of this passage was quite narrow. Ariana easily got into it, but I had to widen it a little to squeeze in. But as soon as I passed the one-meter-long passageway, the back was significantly more spacious. Behind the entrance, the channel suddenly expanded into a huge pipe with a diameter of more than 20 meters, and as we continue to move forward, there is still a wider and wider trend.
Because this relatively wide place can fully spread its wings, our speed is much faster than in the previous passage, but despite this, we still swim for about twenty minutes without seeing the exit.
"Master, this table-the passage looks very long. What should we do? Continue going forward?"
I thought for a moment and thought, "This way. If you are fast, just go ahead as fast as you can. If you do n’t see the end after ten minutes, you will turn around and come back."
"Okay." It was noticeably faster without my drag on Ariana. She is a mermaid herself. The underwater environment is heaven for her. Once fully released, it is almost like a rocket. I will see a bunch of bubble people stirred by her behind. However, although Arona has been far away, with the help of my heart, I can clearly feel the various information returned by her senses.
From the sonar feedback signal from Ariana, I find that this channel is actually horn-shaped. The place where we enter is the thinnest one, but the front is getting wider and wider, and finally, even the sound of Ariana It is out of reach. Although Ariana got out for five or six minutes now, I still ordered her to return. Since this position has been wide enough to this extent, it doesn't make much sense to go forward anyway. Anyway, we already know that the water in this channel is basically not pumping, and the blocking should be no problem. After all, we do n’t see any dangerous geological structure of the lava channel here, and 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 our side at all. Happening.
After receiving my order, Ariana began to swim back, but just after she turned around ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I and her mind suddenly received a fuzzy sonar signal at the same time.
"What's that?" Because I don't have a sonar myself, although the feedback signals I receive are the same, I can't analyze these signals as accurately as Arna, at best I can only feel it.
Immediately after hearing my question, Grandma replied, "I don't know, the distance is too far, the signal is weak, but this thing will move by itself, and it is more than twice the size of an adult dragon."
There are only two cases of what you can move, either it is a creature, or it is a personal carrier. Obviously, such a submarine is unlikely to appear in this closed groundwater system, so a more reliable explanation is that this thing is a living thing. In this closed groundwater system, living things are moving, and the volume is so large. Needless to know, this thing is not good. If all of my magic pets are here, and I'm busy, maybe I'll go over and see what it is, but in this case, one thing is better than one thing.
"Ana, leave that thing alone and return quickly."
After I gave the order, I was planning to swim back. Who knew that Ariana suddenly exclaimed: "No, that thing rushed towards me, so fast!"
