Chapter 214 Rainstorm, Invasion(1/2)

Avis and I thought that the ants on the hot pan were circling around the valley outside the Elf King City, but this damn Elf King City had been invaded by their own Elf tribe so many times, and even if there were loopholes, they were almost repaired. Faced with this iron barrel-like defense, Avis and I felt like a mouse dragging a turtle and couldn't get down.

"How can I get into this damn place?" I sat helplessly on a big tree and looked at the elf king city opposite the canyon and sighed. It was already 11:50 in the evening local time. In other words, the next day will soon be the next day. However, we walked around the periphery of this king city for several hours but couldn't find a way to get in.

In fact, if Avis goes in by himself, it will be very easy. The Elf King City does not restrict the entry and exit of the Elf Clan, so members of the Elf Clan can enter and exit freely and will not be tracked or otherwise. However, as a foreign tribe, although the elves will not restrict me from entering the city, as long as I enter the city, there will definitely be elves stalking. This is a normal defense measure for the Elf Clan, and there have never been any exceptions. So I cannot enter the city openly now, so I can only find a way outside.

"Or what if we go back and bring your magic pets that can dig holes or make disguises and come back?" Ivis thought for a long time and thought that he should go back first. After all, it is not a solution to waste here.

I looked at the royal city over there and wanted to agree with Avis's opinion, because it was impossible to get in when staring at the royal city like this. However, we had worked so hard to get here before, and it always felt a bit cowardly if we ran back empty-handed. However, just when I was about to give up, a large cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and it took only a few minutes. The raindrops as big as beans began to fall one after another, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Within thirty seconds, it turned into a heavy rain. The roar of rainfall was everywhere, and I could even feel the extra pressure caused by the heavy rain hitting the armor.

"Damn, the rain is really heavy!"

Avis straddled his long wet hair and said, "This is the climate here. The previous second was fine, but suddenly it rained heavily in the next second. In fact, the rainfall in the past two days is quite rare. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for us to rain three times a day. It is usually better to get up and down five or six times a day. It is normal for more than two hours each time."

"Have the rain here always been so heavy?"

Avis nodded and said, "Rainfall like this is just a normal standard. Sometimes if the rain is heavy, it doesn't feel like it's raining, but it seems like you are standing under a waterfall. The impact of the raindrops falling down can even make it difficult for you to stand there. It's like carrying something on your body."

"That's really exaggerating." After I sighed, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration in my mind. I reached out to cover my mouth with my hand. "Don't talk, I seem to have thought of something."

Ives didn't know what I thought of, but since I said not to talk, he didn't open his mouth, but waited there. After a while, he asked in a small way: "What did you think of?"

I pointed up and said, "This is the way."

"This?" Avis looked up at the sky, but only saw the rain that was invading the basin. "You want to enter the city with the cover of heavy rain? That's impossible. Even if it rains, people can't hide from the cable bridge. As for flying in from the sky... I don't think you can fly up with such heavy rain."

"No. I'm not planning to get in with the rainstorm." I said and explained, "You think. It rains heavily at your place every few days, with such a heavy rainfall. It's impossible for all the water to stay in the city, right? This can't make the city be soaked up, so you need to send the water out. Your kings are in a very high position, so they just need to let the water flow in the city gather, and then open a few channels to connect to the canyon outside. The rain will naturally flow out of the city."

"Do you want to get into the sewer?" Ives finally understood my intention.

I nodded and said, "The rainfall here is so terrifying, the water on the ground must be very strong. So there must be a lot of drainage outlets and they are very thick, otherwise there will be no time to drain. I think this is an excellent entry channel."

After thinking for a while, Ives nodded and said, "This may work."

"Then don't wait. Let's go and have a look."

"OK."

I have a lot of tools, and it is not a hassle for me to go down the cliff to the bottom of the valley. Ives is an elf. Those who climb high and low are not much worse than those of monkeys. Both of them have strong athletic abilities, so we quickly went down to the bottom of the valley.

Although this valley was smashed by the elves magic magic, it was a long time ago. In places like tropical rainforest, such canyons will be filled with plants in just one year, so after we came down, we felt that the bottom was actually not much different from the top. In addition to the lack of tall trees, this place is still dense with various plants. Of course, because the light in the canyon is not as good as above, the ground is mostly dominated by ferns, mosses or fungi.

Although the plants below are relatively low, because there are no large beasts below, there is no way to find a beast on the ground. This creates a little trouble for our progress, but after I take out Eternity, everything is not a problem. With eternity's sharpness, cutting a rattan branch is similar to cutting noodles with a paper cutter. After a knife, it is easy to cut all obstacles in front of me without even feeling the resistance.

This valley was made by elves, and the cliffs on both sides of the canyon are vertical, so the width of the canyon below is only about one hundred meters, which is basically the same as the top. After passing through more than 100 meters, we arrived below the cliff here, and then we began to move around the Elf King Capital. Sure enough, we encountered a huge waterfall that flowed downstream from the flowing stream.

Although it is still raining heavily, the waterfall is a waterfall, which is very different from the surrounding rain. Moreover, I am very sure that there were no waterfalls around the royal city before it rained. This means that the waterfall in front of me was caused by the drainage system of the Elf King Capital.

After finding the waterfall, we immediately climbed up the mountain wall next to the waterfall with joy. I don’t know if the mountain wall here is washed by rain all year round, and there are almost no plants on the surface. On the contrary, there are a lot of mosses. The cliff wall in this state is like oil-painted, so smooth that it is impossible to leverage. Ives could pull down the vines by himself when he went down the mountain, but now he can only rely on my help. After all, the elves are not monkeys, so I guess the monkeys can’t do anything about this kind of place.

Compared to Avis' climbing method, the method I used is much simpler. I directly separate the eternal into several metal sleeves with short pendants, and then fix them on my toes and fingers respectively. In this way, when I climb, I can insert my hands and feet into the rock wall with a little force, and then I can easily borrow the force. As for Avis, he brought a rope anyway. I put the rope directly on him and then pulled him up. Anyway, even if I hang three or five more people with my strength, it would be fine.

As we kept moving upwards, the waterfalls above our heads began to become increasingly dense, which means we were approaching the outlet. After crossing a slightly protruding rock, we indeed saw a huge drain. At this time, a large amount of white water flow was gushing out of this drain and making a rumble.

"President Zi Ri, how do we get in this place?" Ives asked worriedly at the gushing drain.

If we discovered this drainage port earlier, of course we could easily climb in, but the problem is that there are now gushing water in this drainage port. If we enter, we will definitely be washed out, so we will not be able to go upstream at all. So Ives was a little troubled to see this drain.

I had actually thought of Avis' concerns for a long time. But unlike Avis, I thought of this problem a long time ago, but because I also thought of a solution, I was not worried at all.

"Of course you can't get in such a drain. But don't worry, there will be no water here soon."

"How do you know?" Avis asked in confusion.

"Because I'm here." Xiaolongnu's sudden appearance scared Avis, but because Avis had known before that I was a beast trainer, he immediately realized that this was my magic pet.

"Is you..." Although I guessed that Xiaolongnu was my demon pet, Ivis still asked. After all, the demon pets in everyone's impression are all very ferocious monsters, while Xiaolongnu is a beautiful girl, which is a bit inconsistent with the general appearance of the demon pet.

"I am the master's demon pet Xiaolongnu. Don't be surprised, this is my human form. I also have beast form. My race is the Eastern Dragon."

"Dragon?" Avis thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about the kind of Eastern monster with very long bodies?"

"I'm not a monster, I'm a dragon!" The little dragon girl was immediately unhappy when she heard Avis actually called her a monster.

Ives also knew that some advanced creatures didn't like others to classify them into the category of monsters, so he quickly apologized. I also came forward to persuade him for a few words, and then said, "Little Dragon Girl, don't waste time, hurry up and let the rain stop."

"Okay." Xiaolongnu immediately started executing my order.

Calling the wind and rain is the instinct of the dragon. This is a bit similar to a racial stunt. It does not require acquired learning. As long as it grows naturally, it will be able to do it naturally. Moreover, this ability to be brought out from the womb is much stronger than most of the spells learned after the acquired learning. Not only is the effect better, the consumption is particularly low.

I didn't see what Xiaolongnu did, and the heavy rain began to become smaller in the blink of an eye. The previous downpour suddenly turned into a drizzle in just over a dozen seconds, and even the drizzle like mist stopped. However, although the rain could not fall, the drainage outlet could not dry up immediately. After all, it would take time for the accumulated water on the ground to gather. However, we don't need to wait until the water in the city is completely flowing, as long as the water is not so big.

I hung it in the drain outlet and waited for about twenty minutes. It was already early in the morning of the next day. Although the drain outlet had not stopped flowing yet, the water situation was obviously much smaller. Not only was the water flow very smooth, but the upper part of the drain outlet was basically gone.

I saw that the water level in this passage was almost done and immediately said, "Okay, let's go. It seems that we can leave."

Avis looked at the water flow and nodded to agree to enter now. According to the previous method, I was still walking in front of the drain. Although the water flow in this drain is much smaller, it is still difficult for normal people to stabilize their bodies here. Water seems gentle, but in fact it has a great impact. Although we are in this drain, the water surface is only at our waist, but this terrifying resistance is not something that ordinary people can fight against. Moreover, because water has buoyancy, it does not mean that if you have strong strength, you will definitely not be washed away if you have strong strength. Once your body floats up and there is no place to borrow strength, no matter how strong you have, it is useless.

The method I used was still the same as before, using eternity as a fixture, constantly nailing it into the wall to fix myself, and then relying on my powerful power attribute to climb forward bit by bit. As for Ivis, he could only rely on the rope connected to me to barely ensure that he would not be washed away.

We were quite lucky that the drain was not very long, and it became a transverse passage after moving forward a short distance, and then we quickly entered a huge circular room.

The plan went smoothly here, but after I got here, I was stunned. My original plan was to climb all the way into the city along the drainage outlet. But what I didn't expect was that there was such a large round sewer summary point below the city. The water in a certain area of ​​the city was connected to this summary point through hundreds of pipes, and the pipes connected in were only the thickness of my waist. Such a thick pipe cannot be considered very thin, but people will definitely not be able to get through. You must know that the widest part of a person's body is not the waist. This pipe is barely the same thickness as my waist, so it is impossible for me to get through it.

"Damn. Did your royal capital designers repair prisons before? Why did they even have special treatment for the sewers?"

It was the first time that Avis knew that the drainage system under the capital was like this. He could only shruggle helplessly for me and said, "I don't know that this place will be like this. President Zi Ri. What should we do now? Will we go back the same way?"

"It's almost one o'clock in the morning. We have to wait until tomorrow to come back when we go back. We must find a way to get from here to the ground."

"But those pipes..."

"The pipeline is indeed a little bit of a play. But this is not a problem."

"Ah? Why isn't this a problem?"

"The pipes are indeed very thin. But can we widen them by ourselves?" I said and pointed to the top and said, "Based on the height we had climbed outside before and the inclination of the pipes here, we are only five or six meters away from the city ground. As long as we dig a road up."

"That's right, but will our excavation passage not be discovered?"

"Just stop making noise."

"But is there a way to dig out the passage without making a sound?"

"Of course there is. It's just that you didn't know before." I said and summoned Xiaolongnu again, and then told her about help digging holes.

After Xiaolongnu understood my request, she directly pressed her hand on the wall next to her, and then she saw the soil under the pipe above us start to fall down. Soon there was a circle of hollowed-out soil around the pipe.

Avis looked at the automatically falling out of the soil and said, "Even if Xiaolongnu can hollow out the soil like this, this is the beginning. As you continue to go deeper, the soil on it will accumulate in the passage. You still can't dig it out."

"The solution is also very simple." As I said, the pipes above suddenly surged out of water. At first, Avis was shocked and thought it was raining again, but he soon realized that this was us using the water flow to impact the soil, so that the passage could be continuously expanded, and there was no need to worry that the soil inside could not be dug out.

Using this method, we quickly opened a five-meter-long passage underground. According to normal inference, this place should be very close to the ground. I asked Xiaolongnu to pause for a while, then summoned the peppers and let her go up and test them with her mental power. After confirming that there was only a layer of soil of less than half a meter on it, I immediately took back the peppers and asked Xiaolongnu to continue digging the soil.

Our luck was really good. After the soil layer was opened, we arrived at the ground, and this place happened to be on a section with less crowded people. Of course, even if the crowded people were small, it would be a troublesome to get to the ground directly like this.

Although it is very simple to get up, there is a big hole left on the ground. This fool also knows that someone has drilled it from below. So how to cover up the hole is a troublesome problem. The ground of the Elf King City is not a brick and stone pavement, but a layer of green short grass that looks like a carpet. This grass is very low and soft. It can also play a carpet effect on the ground, and this grass is not afraid of trampling. Even if someone steps on it every day, it will not die. However, although it is not afraid of trampling, the growth rate of this grass is very slow, at least incomparable to ordinary grass. This result also causes us to be unable to seal the hole in a short time. After all, even if we fill the hole with soil, we cannot copy the grass on it. If we just fill it with soil, it will be like leaving a white cement block on the black asphalt pavement, which is very conspicuous. Therefore, the disguise of the hole is a big trouble.

After thinking for a long time, I still felt that it was impossible to disguise the hole until it was completely invisible. It would be possible if Emmenis was still by my side, but the problem was that Emmenis was not here now, so I had to find another way.

Since you can't fill it back, you have to cover it with something else so that it won't be so conspicuous. At least you must ensure that there is no big hole underneath. When I think of this method, I suddenly have another solution.

After thinking of a solution, I no longer hesitated and quickly took Avis out from the ground. After Avis came out, he was worried at the big hole on the ground. Obviously, he also knew that this thing would definitely expose our whereabouts when we stayed here. However, I had already thought of a solution to this problem.

"Little Dragon Girl, now turn your spell upside down." I pointed to the sky and said.

"Reversal?" Xiaolongnu and Ivis didn't quite understand what I mean.

I explained: "Before you resisted this natural rainfall and turned the heavy rain into drizzle. Now you turn the spell upside down and don't stop it from raining, but in turn help it rain. Let the rain get bigger, and the bigger the better."

"Oh. I understand. Master, you want to use rain to cover the hole in the ground?"

"correct."

Ives now understands it. When the city is hit by heavy rain, the water on the ground must be too late to be sent. As long as the rain is heavy enough, local floods can be formed on the ground. Once the ground is submerged, can anyone notice that there is a piece of turf on the ground below?

Xiaolongnu, who understood, immediately began to control the weather in reverse. Originally, it was already raining heavily in this place, but Xiaolongnu helped. The rain that had just been reduced for a while suddenly increased. Before, when we were outside the city, we had rained heavily, but now it has completely turned into a big waterfall. There were rumbling roars everywhere, and only a rain screen could be seen five meters ahead, and nothing could be seen. The accumulated water on the ground had accumulated a thin layer in less than five minutes. Although it could not cover the large holes in the ground for the time being, the water surface was slowly rising. As long as the rainfall did not drop, the ground would soon be invisible.

After confirming that this place was fine, I immediately asked Avis to guide me to the secret library of the royal court. As for Xiaolongnu, I arranged for me to find a hidden place to hide. Because I wanted to maintain this heavy rain, Xiaolongnu cannot return to the Phoenix and Dragon Space now. She must stay outside to control the weather. However, Xiaolongnu is a divine dragon and not a snake. She is not good at penetration, so it is better to let her hide here than to take her. The probability of being discovered is much lower. As for the issue of combat effectiveness, there is no need to worry about this. I am not short of combat effectiveness, and this mission seems to require auxiliary ability rather than combat effectiveness.

This terrifying rainstorm not only helped us cover the big hole on the ground, but also played a very good protective role. It was already midnight and it was very dark. With this rainstorm, even my perfect dark vision was only five meters visibility. Ives can only rely on my description to recognize the way, and he also asked me to lead him to walk because his vision range is only one meter away. If I didn't pull him, it wouldn't be surprising that he would hit a big tree on the road.

Thanks to the heavy rain, no one could see on the road. Originally, the elves were not nocturnal animals, but now it rained so heavily, no one came out. Even the patrol guards had to suspend patrol because of the terrifying rainfall. Although this would create a defense gap, they thought that they could not walk on such heavy rain. Even if outsiders could enter the city, they would probably not be able to move forward. So the guards naturally gave up their plans to continue patrolling.

"Where are we now?" I stopped and asked Ives after encountering a row of huge buildings.

There is a big difference between the Elf King Capital and the Elf City. In addition to the buildings composed of plants, there are also many stone buildings, and there are quite a lot of them. Of course, because of the elves' obsessive-compulsive perfectionism, the buildings here are both plant-based and completely artificial buildings, and their appearance is the same. This beauty does not mean that it is so gorgeous, but the overall feeling is very coordinated. The elves are all gardeners. The Elf King Capital is a building complex dominated by plants, so you can imagine what the buildings here will look like. Entering this place does not feel like you are in the city, but like visiting the World Horticultural Expo.

After hearing my question, Ives asked me: "What's going on around me? Can you see a sculpture of a female elf?"

"There is a personal shadow over there, but I can't see it clearly, so let's take a look." I pulled Avis forward a few meters before I could see it clearly. Five meters away was indeed a sculpture. This is a female elf holding a small bottle with her hands to catch a drop of dew that flowed from the leaves. Because the rain is too heavy now, I can only see a rough one, and the specific details are not clear. "Avis, this seems to be a female elf catching dew. Is this the sculpture you mentioned?"

Avis nodded and said, "This is the beautiful Vishi, a very famous sculpture. I have seen it before. It is very beautiful and definitely a classic work of sculpture art. Her location is to go to the dividing point inside the royal court. Turn left from here to reach the abandoned World Tree passage."

“Abandoned passage?”

"Yes." Avis replied: "The world tree occasionally degrades briefly during its growth, and then some internal channels will become narrower. Although this is rare, it occasionally occurs on certain channels. This channel here is a channel that suddenly shrinks due to unknown reasons. Now it has become very short and can only be climbed over, so this channel is abandoned, but we can use it."

I nodded and said, "Then let's go there quickly?"

"Okay. You go left now. It's better to walk along the sides of the street, because several new houses have been built near the abandoned passage entrance. The passage entrance has been blocked behind. If you miss the fork, it will be difficult to find."

"The houses in this place are all built the same. How do I know which fork in the road you mentioned?"

"I can calculate the approximate distance. When I get nearby, I will remind you to pay attention. New houses should be slightly different from old-style houses in the past. Just look for them carefully."
To be continued...
