158. The enemy comes from the ground

Thanks to book friend Xiao for giving him monthly tickets.

---

"Calm down, what's going on, Miss Yiwen?" Lance warmly welcomed the girl who rushed over with her soles, and stopped the other party in the air without hesitation.

"Sir Lance, do you feel a little disgusted with me?" Yiwen looked at Lance with his eyes as he wiped the large shoe prints on his face.

"How could it be? This must be your illusion." Lance said with a smile. "As long as you are not so noisy and not so troublesome, don't jump out of the shadows when I go to the bathroom and sleep. Occasionally, even if that unreliable divination can play a role, I won't hate you."

"Really, that's great!" The carnivorous lion continued to pounce on Lance again, and then was calmly dodged by the latter, and hit the wall beside the windowsill: "It's too much, I thought you would definitely catch me!"

"I'm telling you where did you come from this kind of confidence? By the way, are you really listening to what I just said?" Lance couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed. "Tell me, what's the matter? If you're just playing tricks, please let me go."

Yiwen rubbed his red forehead with tears in her eyes, and finally remembered the reason for his trip: "Oh, by the way, I had a dream before..."

Lance smiled: "I just had a dream, too, dreaming that an annoying little goblin would come to disturb my tranquility!"

He pulled Layla unhappily and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Yiwen halfway.

"No, Lord Lance, that dream is very real. I think it should be a premonition dream." Yiwen looked at Lance with his stupid big eyes, and coupled with her ridiculous mutton costumes. Lance felt that if he really believed this silly girl, he would be an idiot, but after he saw the skills in the other party's attribute bar, he still asked in a strange way: "What dream?"

Yiwen smiled like this and recalled: "Well, it's a place like an underground palace. In short, there are many underground passages and many monsters."

Lance looked at her with contempt, saying so vaguely, but he knew what you were talking about.

"Well, let me think about it," Yiwen frowned her thick eyebrows and said as if she was trying hard to think: "There seems to be many monsters like clay figures there, a group of creatures like mice. There is also a particularly large spider, whose body seems to be so big."

Yiwen opened his hands and tried his best to describe the monster's body shape and appearance. Although it was just a few words, Lance's eyes had narrowed. Yiwen's range of activities was limited to the county magistrate's mansion. She could not know what Lance was arranged under the ground in Feront County, not to mention the ancient spider nest buried three days ago, the Spider Queen was hidden in the deepest part of the underground cave. If you want to see it, you probably only have a corpse left.

Then, the reason can only be one - although Lance does not want to be true, this foreseeable dream may be true!

Lance asked inhaled and kept himself calm, "What's going on in this tunnel next?"

"The flame should be magma. The golden flame penetrated from the depths of the ground and poured into the tunnel. The mice fled wildly, but were still caught up by the rolling slurry from behind. They turned into ashes in an instant." Yiwen spoke as if she was telling someone else's story, without much emotional ups and downs.

"What?" Lance asked.

"Then the earth cracked, the walls collapsed, and the town was full of cracked and erupting flames, people were running away, screaming...and-"

"Don't be too slow to suck your appetite and tell me what happened afterwards!" Lance suddenly shouted loudly.

This made Yiwen's expression immediately stunned, and she looked completely frightened.

Lance soon realized that he was anxious, but he didn't have time to apologize anymore. He just suppressed the volume and asked Yiwen again: "Tell me, what happened afterwards?"

"And...and..." Yiwen scratched his head hard and looked at Lance with some fear, but he couldn't hold it out. Tears in his eyes were spinning and he was almost crying: "What is it, huh, why did I suddenly not remember it? It seemed to be a very terrible thing...but why can't I remember it?"

Lance was really going to be forced to be crazy by this woman. He no longer looked at the Leo woman who was about to cry on the face, and said to Layla: "Look at her, if this woman remembers something, send someone to tell me immediately!"

"Yeah." Layla replied in a low voice. She glanced at Lance secretly and found that the latter had a blue face and left with big strides.

What a pity, I don’t know when I missed this opportunity again.

But she couldn't be willful, Layla sighed helplessly.

As soon as Lance went out, Fiona, who had been guarding the door, followed her and followed her. Lance didn't care anymore. In fact, he was in no mood to say anything to the other party now.

It's so bad!

If Yiwen's prophecy is correct, then Lance's territory will really suffer a catastrophe next.

Lance rushed out of anxious appearance, which made Parker and the guards guarded outside alert. They all caught up with Lance's pace and asked, "What's wrong, Lord County?"

"Come Black Steel for me immediately, by the way, and Ekir."

"But the county chief, Lord Heigang has already gone out..."

"Finish it, right now!"

"Yes!" Several guards dared not ask again, because Lance's ashen face had already explained many problems.

He was careless, Lance thought that the enemy would definitely attack from the front, even in the sky, he had a way to deal with it, but he never expected that his enemy would come from the underground, which was exactly the weakest link in Lance's defense. Now thinking about it, the Season of Demon Tide does not necessarily affect monsters, but the burst of all elements. Then it is not impossible to say that the fire element of the Lava River becomes extremely active, but it is not impossible to say that the source of the Lava River is very deep below the surface, even the part that overflows from the underground. It is just a very small range, and even the most famous Abyss, the Flame River surrounding the Lord's Fort, is only dozens of miles long.

You can imagine how low the probability this is. I guess before this. No one would have thought that the underground lava would erupt, right? If this is true, and the arrangements made by Lance in several months before would be wasted, I am afraid that the disaster that will be faced next will be a devastating blow. The town will be torn apart by the slurry, and the unprepared people will be exposed to the attack of wild beasts. Wait, are those harps waiting for this opportunity? Have they known it long ago?

The more Lance thought about it, the more surprised he became. He even more shocked and sweated coldly afterwards.

After a while, Aikir arrived, but because of the task, Heikir obviously could not find the one who returned so quickly. Lance simply did not wait. He told him to come to "underground" after Heikir came back, and then took Aikir into the secret passage.

"What's wrong?" Aikil asked the same question as Parker before, but the treatment was very different.

"What if a magma erupted below the ground?" Lance asked without answering.

Aikil was stunned and frowned: "You're kidding?"

"What do you think?" Lance's face turned blue and explained a lot of problems.

"Is it the prophecy of the lady of Lefipain's family?" After Aikir recovered his memory, his speech and work were extremely organized and clear, and he quickly sensitively captured the source of the news from Lance.

"Yes, should I believe her or not?" Lance asked solemnly. The two of them led a team of guards through a secret passage under the town hall to the underground.

Aikil obviously participated in this authentic design at the beginning, so it was not surprising that there would be such a place underground in the entire city.

"The prophecy is false. Then everyone is happy, but I'm afraid it's true..." At this point, Aikir didn't say anything.

"What should we do now?" The two of them walked under the dark passage. Of course, there was still no sunlight in the Season of Demon Tide, and it was also dark outside, but what should we say underground? In addition to darkness, there is also a feeling of depression and dullness here.

"If I were to say something, I had to find a way to fill these pits immediately." After thinking about it, Aikil pointed to the arrangement made by Lance. The so-called pits are the nests and passages that are well-connected underground: "Originally, if it was an ordinary slurry eruption, it would usually choose a place to gush out, such as the eruption of the crater, in other words, the diffusion of a point. But if we do not close the caves and passages we dug out, the slurry will flow backwards at that time, and the impact will probably be a whole surface - at that time the entire Feronte County will suffer!"

Lance understands this truth, but he is really unwilling to give up. Everything he had finally arranged was not yet effective, but now it has become a stumbling block in front of him. How could he bear this tone? And what hasn't happened yet? It's just a promise made by a girl without any utterance. But Lance wants to give up everything he managed and give up the entire Feront County for this sentence?

Aikil knew Lance's entanglement very well, so he just said this and didn't continue. After all, the only one who made the decision was Lance. And the guards like Parker and others were all silent, so how could they dare to interrupt in such an occasion?

"I'll think about this matter again. Since I'm here, Aikil, please help me see the possibility of lava eruption. Isn't this kind of thing a sign in advance?"

"Well," Aikil agreed straightforwardly: "I have read some books about the abyss (the works of the lichs), saying that the underground of the abyss is roughly divided into three layers. The first layer is a shallow area, living in creatures like cavemen who have close racial relationships with the ground, and they will occasionally reach the ground, but these creatures are weak. The middle area is said to be creatures similar to the devil insects that attacked Feront County last time. They live in the ground for a long time and rarely touch the ground. There are also some creatures that live at the bottom, and they never show up on the ground."

Lance nodded.

Aikil continued: "Under this, even the slurry area, there are only a very small part of the area. The magma overflows from the surface due to the changes in the stratigraphic conditions, just like the river of flames in the Lords Fort. And every time such a change occurs, a huge earthquake will occur, right?"

"That's right."

"So, has the county magistrate ever thought about what kind of world would be under the slurry?" (To be continued...)
