"Is it possible to take the waterway instead of the dry road?"
Lin Qiye suddenly had an idea.
"If there are aquatic monsters or demons lurking under the Emerald Lake, and they happen to have the ability to dig water channels... then the water channels at the bottom of the lake are the most secret!"
"Although it is very difficult to operate underwater, with the cunning level of the mind flayers, they will definitely operate from underwater. Not only can they maintain a high degree of concealment, but they can also use sewers to cover their eyes and ears, allowing humans to waste time in the sewers.
!”
"For example, right now, the human demon hunting group has been searching the sewer system for two weeks, but still found nothing, buying the Mind Flayer precious time!"
Lin Qiye suddenly realized.
Seize the fleeting breakthrough.
"Emerald Lake covers an area of 800 acres, with a maximum water depth of 80 meters. It is a natural lake. There have been no evil spirits and monsters in it for many years. Moreover, human hydrology monitoring is extremely strict, so it is basically impossible to quietly dig underwater channels.
"
"It will definitely leave a mark!"
Lin Qiye's eyes were blazing. At this time, his thoughts were extremely smooth.
Immediately open the hydrological records of Jiangcheng in recent years.
as expected.
Lin Qiye discovered something unusual.
"Ten years ago, or even five years ago, the water level in Emerald Lake would surge by about three meters every time there was a heavy rain. But in the past three years, every time there was a heavy rain in Emerald Lake, the water level only fluctuated by 10cm..."
"Based on the data analysis of the heavy rain a year ago, the water level should have risen by five meters, but it only rose by 10cm."
"If there is a problem, there must be something wrong. If there are aquatic monsters digging tunnels below, they will definitely work during heavy rain periods. They will use the heavy rain to cover up the underwater movements.
Lin Qiye smiled slightly.
Basic guesses came to mind.
"So, what kind of aquatic monster is it that works underwater?"
Lin Qiye frowned and thought.
There are not many monsters that can open channels underwater.
Lin Qiye opened the news from three years ago.
Browse one by one.
In the midst of complicated information.
Lin Qiye noticed a piece of news.
"An unknown collapse occurred in a limestone vein outside Jiangcheng, death toll: sixty, serious injuries: twenty-one."
Investigation showed that the bottom of the limestone vein was swallowed up by unknown creatures, and the entire mine suddenly collapsed while the miners were digging.
Because the height of the fall reached more than 200 meters, sixty-four miners fell to their deaths.
After an investigation by the Demon Hunting Group, the result was that some unknown monster caused the mining disaster.
"This mining accident is definitely related to the creatures under the Emerald Lake. The mine is 226 meters high, 300 meters wide, and 600 meters long. To swallow so much limestone minerals, a passage must be built.
So...what monster needs calcium carbonate to grow?"
this period of time.
Lin Qiye studied like crazy.
It finally worked.
Several images of monster beasts appeared in Lin Qiye's mind.
"Is it a coral monster? Some hard coral monsters need calcium carbonate to build their skeleton when they grow."
"Under the control of the mind flayer demon, the coral monsters can indeed work together to construct a passage. It is even possible to construct an elevator passage.
The Blue-Winged Wolf King might have come quietly from inside Jiangcheng through the lift channel!"
While muttering to himself.
Lin Qiye made a bold guess.
Although, this is just speculation.
But his intuition told Lin Qiye that he was getting closer to the truth.
Under the Emerald Lake.
There must be a group of coral monsters opening a passage.
As for how the coral monster entered the Emerald Lake and how to open a passage, Lin Qiye didn't know.
but.
None of these details matter anymore.
The important thing is - Lin Qiye thought of a 'targeted plan'.
"If it is a coral monster digging a tunnel underneath, it will be easy to deal with. Coral can hardly walk and its strength is not high. It would be too easy to crack it."
Lin Qiye smiled slightly.
He stretched lazily.
Then.
Holding a copy of "One Hundred Thousand Whys", I walked out of the room.
In the living room.
A team of seven, including Father, Mother, and Uncle Zhao, were sitting around the map of Jiangcheng, pointing and talking.
Apparently he was looking for a breakthrough.
at this time.
Father Gu pointed to the Emerald Lake.
"With two weeks of work, the sewer can be cleared for the time being."
"Except for the sewers, there is only the Emerald Lake, right? Is there a possibility that the monster entered Jiangcheng from the bottom of the lake?"
Hear the words.
Captain Zhao shook his head: "Dig a passage at the bottom of the lake? Isn't it too difficult? Not only is it easy to fill with water, but the sediment at the bottom of the lake is not stable, and it will collapse if you are not careful..."
"Under the influence of so many unfavorable conditions, digging a passage from the bottom of the lake that can allow the Blue Winged Wolf King to pass through will definitely cause some movement that the awakened ones will notice, right?"
"But the awakened ones checked the bottom of the lake and found nothing unusual, right?"
"I don't think it's credible to dig a channel from the bottom of the lake."
Uncle Xiong also shook his head: "What aquatic monster is qualified for this project? A sea crab, or other monster that can dig caves? There seems to be no similar monster, right?"
Opposite Uncle Xiong.
Uncle Li used a portable computer specially used to perform tasks and called up a series of information.
After looking at it carefully for a while, he finally raised his head.
"A year ago, Jiangcheng's Demon Hunting Group investigated the bottom of Emerald Lake and found nothing unusual. The terrain at the bottom of Emerald Lake has not changed much. The underwater biota are all very normal. It should not be a problem at the bottom of the lake."
Hear this sentence.
Lin Qiye shook his head slightly.
Looks like I have to be Conan for once.
Unfortunately, there was no sleeping needle. Lin Qiye could only stand up and said with stern features: "It must be at the bottom of the lake."
Lin Qiye's sudden voice interrupted everyone's discussion. They looked surprised and turned to look at Lin Qiye, who had a serious face.
"Xiao Shaoshang, what are you talking about?"
"Are you talking to us?"
"Yes, my point of view is that the channel must be at the bottom of the lake. You can search for the hydrological changes of Emerald Lake in the past three years and the past ten years. You will understand when you see the hydrological changes."
Hear the words.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Uncle Li immediately used the computer to retrieve the data on hydrological changes.
But I watched it for a while.
Everyone's expressions were still blank.
"Is there any way?"
"I don't see any clue at all..."
Aunt Zhou, the wet nurse, raised her eyebrows and racked her brains, unable to figure out what secrets were hidden in these data.
Only Gu's father and mother seemed to have grasped some clues, but they didn't fully understand.
Lin Qiye: "..."
"Don't you really see something special? Ten years ago, even five years ago, heavy rains in Jiangcheng would cause the water level of Emerald Lake to rise by three to four meters."
"But in the past three years, every time it rained, the temperature only rose by 10CM."
"What is the reason for such stable water temperature?"
Uncle Zhao: “Doesn’t it mean that the flood storage capacity of Emerald Lake is getting better and better?”
Lin Qiyu shook his head.
"That's not the case. Even if it is a larger lake, the water level will surge when it encounters floods."
"The water level in Emerald Lake has risen too accurately. There must be something wrong."
During the conversation.
Lin Qiye opened "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and opened the page introducing Pipe Coral.
"Pipeline corals like familiar environments and will surround the islands and reefs into independent 'lakes' to block the tide. When the water level in the lake is too high, they will actively adjust the water depth through the pipes."
"Have you seen the characteristics of pipe corals? Is it possible that there are a group of pipe corals gathered at the bottom of the Emerald Lake? After all, they are the only ones with the obsessive-compulsive disorder to adjust the water level."
Lin Qiye's analysis.
Reasonable and well-founded.
The seven awakened ones were stunned into silence.
They looked at each other in confusion, thinking about Lin Qiye's words.
"Xiao Shaoshang's analysis...seems to be very reasonable!"
"Emerald Lake has always been able to control floods, but there is no saying that the water level rose by 10cm during heavy rains. In the past, it only rose by a few meters!"
"But in the past three years, it has only increased by 10CM. Isn't this too coincidental? More than a dozen heavy rains have only increased by 10CM. It cannot be described as a coincidence."
"There must be something fishy."
"But... why can the pipe coral monster adapt to fresh water?"
"Is it really the Pipe Coral Monster, building a channel under the Emerald Lake?"
There was confusion among the seven people's facial features.
Although they were somewhat awakened by Lin Qi's encounter, there were still a lot of doubts.
Doubtful about everyone's belief.
Lin Qiye said resolutely: "You search for the Beicheng limestone mine disaster three years ago and see if you can think of anything."
Lin Qiyu directed.
Like a wise counselor.
Already seen through everything.
Uncle Li did not regard Lin Qiye as a one-and-a-half-year-old child at all. Instead, he followed Lin Qiye's orders from the bottom of his heart.
He immediately searched for this news on his computer.
Everyone watched the news and fell into silence.
"By removing so much limestone, we must allow the pipe coral to grow quickly! There is no time to run away!"
"Xiao Shaoshang's analysis is almost the truth!"
"hiss--"
When the seven people realized that Lin Qiye's analysis was reasonable and well-founded.
They took a deep breath.
"A-Xuan, A-Yan, your sons have perfectly inherited your two IQs."
"He is even better than his master. He is so incredible at just one and a half years old. He will definitely be an awakener of S-level talent in the future!"
"so amazing!"
Everyone burst into rainbow farts.
…
"But... there are 1,800 acres of Emerald Lake, where would the pipe coral be hidden? Even a Yue-level demon hunting group wouldn't be able to find it, right?"
Father Gu asked a question.
Regarding this.
Lin Qiye smiled softly.
"This is too simple."
"In nature, some animals can predict earthquakes in advance, but humans cannot."
"We humans can't find the hiding areas of the pipe corals, so why don't we just let the natural enemies of the pipe corals find them?"
"As far as I know, the devil starfish monster is the natural enemy of the pipe coral. One starfish monster can eat 1 cubic meter of coral in a day."
"Buy a thousand devil starfish monsters and throw them into the Emerald Lake. They will definitely find the pipe coral and destroy the channel."
Lin Qiye said confidently.
He has already calculated that the reason why the Mind Flayer will appear three months later is that it must not be able to take action immediately.
Otherwise, why not just swallow the entire Jiangcheng?
so.
Throwing in the devil starfish monster will definitely destroy the passage!
Heard Lin Qiye’s strategy.
Uncle Zhao, Uncle Xiong, Uncle Li, Father Gu, Mother Gu, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Zhou had a surprised light in their eyes.
I have to say that Xiao Shaoshang is indeed a monster.
his words.
You can listen!
then.
Uncle Zhao immediately ordered three thousand devil starfish monsters.
Obviously.
Lin Qiye analyzed that Captain Zhao had been conquered.
…
The second day.
Three thousand devil starfish monsters were transported to the vicinity of Emerald Lake.
Uncle Zhao and the others reported to the military leader of Jiangcheng.
Then dump all the devil starfish into the emerald lake.
Among them, three hundred devil starfish monsters are equipped with pinhole cameras.
The purpose is to find the location of the pipe coral.
Three thousand devil starfish monsters that had been hungry for a day began to hunt according to their instincts as soon as they entered the Emerald Lake.
They are keenly aware of the presence of pipe corals.
then.
Mighty, lying on the bottom of the lake, crawling towards the pipe coral.
Two hours later.
They found the hidden area of the pipe coral and began to 'lying on the sand' downwards.
Soon.
Just clear an area.
The corpses of well-tubed corals hidden under the mud were revealed.
The bodies formed a circle.
It’s a passage!
"There really is a pipe coral monster!"
The seven-member Shanhai Demon Hunting Group were stunned.
The military leader of Jiangcheng and other demon hunting groups all looked quite stunned.
Jiangcheng's military leader laughed heartily.
"As expected of the [Shanhai] Demon Hunting Group, I heard that your team has always been famous for its amazing IQ. I never thought that you are really so good!"
"Very good! Very good! It's so easy to find 100 demon hunting groups. It took 2 weeks to find the passage that I couldn't find. I'm going to give you a special reward!"
When seeing the special passage under the Emerald Lake.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiangcheng’s military leader was both scared and happy at the same time.
What's scary is that a mysterious passage appears under the Emerald Lake in Jiangcheng without anyone noticing.
Fortunately, the [Shanhai] Demon Hunting Group used their considerable IQ to directly destroy this passage.
In the camera screen.
The devil starfish who found the corpse of the pipe coral were so excited that they lay down on the corpse and began to eat crazily.
Just ten minutes.
Three thousand devil starfish disappeared at the bottom of the emerald lake...
One devil starfish can eat one cubic meter of coral reef in one day, and three thousand devil starfish can eat three thousand cubic meters of coral reef in one day.
That is to say.
Even if the diameter of the pipe is three meters, three thousand devil starfish can eat the 800-meter passage.
The day passed in a blink of an eye.
The Mind Flayer seems to be really in retreat.
It found no exception.
Let three thousand devil starfish monsters wreak havoc.
Three thousand devil starfish, like starving ghosts, moved forward to gnaw crazily.
one day.
Two days.
Three days...
Ten days...
Twenty days...
As the three thousand devil starfish penetrate deeper.
Humans discovered that the passage actually extended for more than ten kilometers!
Quietly, the outside of the city and the inside of the city were connected through the bottom of the lake and fifty meters underground.
The passage can even accommodate a three-meter-tall monster to pass through!
The only drawback is that the pipes constructed by pipe corals are somewhat fragile.
but.
There are already gold iron jellyfish that can swallow iron ore, and the channel is being reinforced.
Look at its operating efficiency.
After a month, the passage will be strong enough to allow large numbers of monsters to run and march!
By the time.
All the tens of millions of people in Jiangcheng will become parasites!
But at this moment.
Their plans are about to come to nothing.
Three thousand 'starving ghosts' were frantically devouring the passage that the pipe coral had worked so hard to build.
Destroy the passage completely.
The water from the Emerald Lake was poured into the pipes. The lake water and water pressure caused the monster beasts in the pipes to suffocate to death one by one...
Turns into a corpse and floats above the pipe.
After gnawing for thirty days.
The sharp cry of the Mind Flayer resounded through the bottom of the lake...
