Shadow Covenant

Chapter 133 "Collapse"

Back in time half an hour ago, deep in the ground below the lake, the water flowed out from the fissures, but it could no longer accommodate the entire passage, but spread shallowly on the passage, a bit like the wetness of a river. tidal flats.

After all, for the natural cracks that used to be a bit laborious to accommodate several people's bodies, the current water cracks have been opened up into water channels that can accommodate ten carriages in parallel in Woody's hands.

In the past, the water channels were many and small, and they were more than full, but now the water volume remains the same, but the channels have been expanded by more than a hundred times. Naturally, there are more monks and less porridge distributed to each area.

Smelling the sea salt and moisture in the air, Woody threw a handful of soil into the water indifferently as usual. The momentum of the main river is still enough to make them flow directly down the water and finally merge into the river. deep pool.

And Woody watched the soil gradually melt into the clear water with white waves, and saw that the water gradually became turbid due to the mud, and then became clear again after a few seconds. He followed the usual practice and dug out a handful of melted soil , Mechanical excavation, to expand the channel according to the plan.

But this time, what came from his palm was no longer soft like cotton, but a hard and angular rock section.

At this time, Woody lowered his head, only to find that the magical aura on the pair of plastic stone gloves he was wearing had been exhausted, and the skin was a little worn out. Obviously, after digging regardless of time and night, the stone plastic gloves were finally completed its mission.

Woody also knew in his heart that now it was time to accept the results.

He took a deep breath, and carefully took out a black wooden barrel the size of a human baby from the dimensional ring, which contained a barrel full of hot glue.

The time for the fireball technique has not yet arrived, and Woody clearly knows that although the power of the fireball technique is great, facing the thick rock wall, even if he hits four cards at once, the effect may not be satisfactory.

Therefore, how to use it skillfully and maximize the power of the spell in his hand is the main purpose of taking out these items.

He applied the hot glue that could burn for several hours without firewood one by one on the rock wall of the dome separated from the underground lake by a wall, and then ignited with the flame of his fingertips.

An opening song full of fireworks above the water was quietly played in the cave.

The flames are burning in the dome, and the black smoke from the ground is like cheers, gradually drifting out along the gap, the temperature in the cave is constantly rising, and the tongue of fire is dancing wildly licking the rock wall. The gray and white dome is like an excited child. face, red and shiny.

"Get ready! Angelina."

Feeling the rising temperature in the soil, Woody, who was hiding under the soil covered by the water flow in the lower layer, used telepathy to communicate with the monk girl at close range, and at the same time took out the core of the water element that he had looted from the sahuagin not long ago. .

The reason why he didn't sell the cores was because he wanted to use these cores as a medium to summon a water element again.

This is an essential part of the plan.

Soon the magic circle lit up on the ground, and a five-meter-high water elemental elite crossed the deep sea gate of the vast ocean and floated from the water on the ground.

"Calox of the Wave Clan, following your will, is here upon summoning, and is willing to serve you! My master!"

Most of the summoned creatures will obey the orders of their masters, but the communication is simple, and generally they can only understand words such as attack or protection, but as elemental creatures, apart from being uncontrollable, they are quite advanced, and some commands can I understand, it is considered to be the most favorite summoned creature of spellcasters.

"Squeeze these flames."

Woody gives orders directly to the water elementals. They have the ability to communicate with the water elemental plane anytime and anywhere. Except that they cannot bring other people in, the whole creature is like a mobile water tower, which can use water from the water elemental plane at will. It is their crudest means.

"Yes, Master!"

After hearing Woody's order, the huge water elemental immediately fused into a vortex, not only rolling the surrounding water, but also burst out the power of the waves in the middle of its body, the overlapping water flow was like ocean waves, one pile after another Slapped on the burning rock wall, the cold water in November touched the scorching fire, the black smoke quickly disappeared, turned into water vapor and began to permeate the space, and the cave cavity that was originally dancing with tongues of flames at this moment was like a fire. wonderland.

Soon, the flames gradually extinguished under the touch of the water flow, and the water element also completed its mission after the time was up, and returned to the inner plane with the core as a sacrifice, leaving only the side that had just been destroyed. Black rock tops baptized by fire and cold water.

At the same time, Woody also tore open the fireball scroll in the half-covered soil, aiming at the southeast corner of the dome.

Accompanied by the surge of magic power, a yellow ray of light emerged from the dense white mist, dragging a long trail, with an unparalleled impact, towards The black rock wall rushed away.

Even though Woody's body was buried in the soil due to the Thor stone ring, the tremor still gave him a loud bang.

There was a violent shaking around his body. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, when he felt the stones and the water that expanded the cracks rushing down, Woody could still make up the hot flames like a dragon blocking the rocks. All its obstacles crush the picture.

continue!

Before it completely disintegrated, Woody took out three fireball scrolls from the ring one after another, and used them one by one, aiming at the other three positions corresponding to the dome.

Soon, with the last roar, a palpitating crash rhythm came. If the thunder in front was only limited to the bottom of the lake where Woody was, except for Angelina who was hovering nearby, I'm afraid that no one else can sense it, but the roar this time is enough to shake this ley line and produce a miniature earthquake.

Because, the very center of the dome collapsed.

Falling along with it was the thousands of tons of seawater that had been accumulated for an unknown number of years. At the moment when the water flow hit, Woody seemed to see the reversed sea surface and the falling deep sea.

Just like that, it was like a torrent of a long rainbow penetrating the sun, refusing to stop pouring into the advance route that Woody had already opened up for them.

And Woody, who felt Angelina's approach, also quickly passed through the mud and came to the bottom of the lake, where the megalodon shark transformed by Angelina was waiting for him.

"you succeeded!"

Angelina's tone was extraordinarily excited, and those eyes, which were almost the size of Woody's head, looked not far away without blinking. The suction has formed the bottom vortex.

"Yes! It worked!"

Woody turned his body from the mud to the water. The longing of the sea made him easily resist the suction brought by the vortex, and with the help of the power of the water, he quickly approached the megalodon shark hovering in the vortex. He answered Ann Terena, using the skills of riding a shark that had long been engraved in her memory, directly touched its crescent-like tail fin, followed its back, and came directly to the most comfortable dorsal fin, and sat on it , looking at the masterpiece he created by himself in the distance with great ease.

Although the power of plastic stone gloves is used, the accumulation of time still makes the final result bloom with its own majestic momentum.

"When are we going down?"

Angelina asked.

"Wait a little longer, this little water flow can't allow us to control the huge waves to harvest those despicable souls, and the hole hasn't been fully expanded yet, if we go on now, we'll just wait in another place."

He has already studied this underground structure. In addition to expanding the channel, he was thinking about how to maximize the expansion of the pipeline the day before. Among them, the chain reaction was the last conclusion he came up with. Using the fireball technique and the collapse of the rock wall brought The chain of dominoes is enough to cause a certain area of ​​the lake to instantly have a subsidence effect.

Sure enough, not long after Woody's words fell, Angelina saw that the soil at the bottom edge of the lake was also disintegrating rapidly in the expanding vortex and dissipating in the water flow. Water flow, it is also constantly sweeping the surrounding matter.Like a huge greedy mouth.

But what Woody didn't expect was that this miniature earthquake and the collapse of the lake bottom not only alarmed the entire Underdark region, but also affected the underground black market and Palermo a lot. The wind was jittery, not to mention that the center of the earthquake this time came from the bottom of Palermo, which set off a wave of panic. Therefore, before Woody waited for the underground vortex to fully unfold, an unexpected guest came in the water.

The black market has already been investigated by someone under the order of the governing hall.

However, after Woody had been reminded of the incoming person through Angelina's perverted perception early on, he didn't hesitate too much, and directly let her carry him, rushing towards the vortex not far away.

And the people who entered the water, when they arrived, could only see the huge ripples when the giant shark swung its tail, and the dark and steep cave entrance that was getting wider and wider.

……

Woody was in pain and happiness at the moment, the gravel mixed with the water made his cheeks hurt, but this section was hidden deep in the rock formation, with only a passage less than a hundred meters away, this feeling of confusion did not last long, and There is a more powerful meat shield in front of it, and some stones that can't be destroyed by the vortex easily sprint under its triangular cone-like head, and they scatter as soon as they hit it.

A megalodon shark that was over ten meters long was enough to run amok in this cave, but Angelina felt only narrowness and discomfort in her heart.

But this feeling comes and goes quickly. When jumping down from the top of a waterfall like a broken embankment, it is replaced by a more overflowing sense of satisfaction, which is engraved in thousands of human genes. ten thousand years.

It's called Flying.

The gigantic shark weighing dozens of tons dived into the water with a perfect landing posture, and Woody also let go of the thorny hand. He was afraid that he would be thrown out if he didn't pay attention just now. Terena fitted him with a crude version of a seat belt using freely controlled spines.

It finally landed safely, so what we have to do now is...

Woody looked at the scene of the top of the waterfall, the torrent like the bursting of the embankment like a galloping horse, no longer hesitated, touched the skin of the shark's back with his hand, and told her his choice with his heart.

——"Under the witness of this torrent, the time for revenge begins!"

……

"Oh, how long are we going to stay in this ghost place."

The roar just now awakened many drow elves living in the ruins of the gray dwarves. Although they don't need to sleep like elves, they need a little time of meditation to restore their mental state. Many people have already started to speak typical underground slang.

But likewise, there were also people here who were sent to investigate the source of the earthquake. Of course, part of the reason was because they wanted to see if the dragon had left and what the original city had become. Find out.

Soon, a temporary team composed of ten drow warriors and priests left the ruins of the gray dwarves and embarked on the road to check the upper-level movements.

"Kerize, what did you say caused the earthquake so close?"

A drow warrior looked at the priest who was following him, and whispered to his companion.

In the Underdark region, there is no earthquake without a reason. Finding out the root cause is convenient for avoiding or stopping it next time. Of course, it depends on who caused the earthquake. The former is a deep dragon, so it can be regarded as not happening. If it is just a Ordinary earth giant worms, then a worm fishing competition is naturally inevitable.

After all, if a certain road collapses due to this, alternative roads can be left alone, but if it ruins the journey to another area of ​​the Underdark, then absolutely not.

Territory area shrinks.

This is intolerable to all Underdark races.

The man named Kerize is a drow warrior who is far more experienced and experienced than the person who asked the question. He has short white hair and a dark and stern middle-aged face. The calluses on his hands and the exposed scars on the armor made of half-body insect shells undoubtedly revealed the temperament of a veteran. At this time, he was carefully putting his ears on the ground, listening carefully to the feedback from the ground.

After reporting to the pastor and confirming the location, he bowed his head and responded to the companion's questions.

"It's a bit like a dragon, those bugs and the guys in the soil can't cause such a violent vibration at all."

"No way, then we..."

As soon as the dragon was mentioned, the face of this drow warrior immediately lost its blood color, and his black skin looked a little gray. He once witnessed that huge monster destroying the city they depended on with one breath, and now he heard this. A terrifying creature, the nightmare that lingered in the hallucinations of meditation for the past few days came again.

"I also said it's kind of like it, and even if it is, it's not that strong." Kerize climbed up the rugged mountain, and then turned around to comfort his teammates in a low voice.

"Then we also have a chance to slay the dragon?"

Hearing that it's not that strong, Kerrize's reputation has already been established by getting along these days, if he says he's not strong, he's definitely not good.

After all, he saw with his own eyes that he used the scimitar in his hand to kill a rather powerful Manticore in the ground. It was a monster that needed a team of drow warriors and a team of crossbowmen to deal with.

"Let's look again. I'm not sure if it's a dragon. If it's just a natural phenomenon, it may cause the ground to subside. Don't expect too much. And even if we encounter a dragon that can be solved, the price will not be low."

Kerize whispered as he passed him before the next investigation. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the team on this expedition and said in a slightly sad tone.

"Maybe in the end, only you survived."

"But... what's wrong?"

The young drow warrior wanted to say something else, but seeing Kerize frowned suddenly, he asked quickly.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The sound of the water is wrong. It's several decibels louder than before, and it's getting louder."

"We are very close to the waterfall, isn't it normal that it is getting bigger and bigger?"

The young drow warrior knew that there was a deep pool above, and there was a waterfall in the deep pool, so he was naturally not surprised.

But this explanation did not satisfy Kerize. Although he looked confused, he still clearly felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, he reported directly to the priest who led the team, but he also received the same question.

"She doesn't believe you!"

Looking at Kerize, who was dejected and ready to continue upwards, and did not choose his wait-and-see plan, the young drow warrior whispered.

Kerize showed a wry smile.

"No way, don't believe it if you don't believe it, she will regret it sooner or later."

However, as soon as Kerize's words fell, the turbulent water above his head became louder and louder. Now, everyone has noticed something is wrong, but except for Kerize and the other two who subconsciously chose to walk along the rock wall cave, everyone else In the middle of the road, so that when the torrent of water fell from the sky, priests, drow warriors, lizards and spiders carrying supplies and riding were all washed away without any hesitation, the group of people facing the torrent Before even saying a word, the five or six meter high wave seemed to be pouring down from the sky, crushing on all the creatures who dared to block its path.

"How is it possible! Master Carmel!"

When the young drow who was hiding in the temporary cave wanted to call for help to the drow priest who was washed away by the current, a big hand appeared behind him and covered his mouth.

"Do not talk."

This was Kerize's voice, he obeyed subconsciously, and then looked at the middle-aged drow behind him in confusion, not understanding why he wanted to stop himself.

Then in the next moment, he understood that there was a huge shadow mixed in with the huge waves, the triangular dorsal fin and the giant teeth that would eat people were enough to make all creatures terrified.

What was even more frightening was that he vaguely saw the back of the giant shark and a figure sitting there.
