Destiny Thief

Chapter 116 Underground Torrent I
Gro narrowed his eyes, he was thinking of a way to get out - he finally remembered that what he was in was not the holographic simulation game after all, but a real world.The accident that occurred in the copy of "Angus' Elegy Palace" this time, logically speaking, it is impossible to happen in the game.

That guy turned out to be Angus Rosenthal, the "Rebel". He realized that he seemed to have gotten into some serious trouble.However, the predicament is the reality right before our eyes, and we must find a way to break through the frozen confinement.

He tried to exert all his muscles, but the huge block of ice was as hard and firm as a stone. After several efforts, he remained motionless—Glo's right hand held the hilt of the rapier, and the entire white blade was also crushed. Wrapped in an ice coffin.He looked along the arm, hoping to see something strange and magical in the weapon.

This is a divine weapon, one of the Seven Divine Weapons of Glory, the Meaning of Justice [Jadis]!
Master Artifact, have you just kept calm like this?Your master is in big trouble!

Glo's egg was in pain, and when he was helpless, he couldn't find any external force to rely on—he closed his eyes, but unfortunately there is no life-saving setting of burning the small universe in "Dispute"...

Soon, he opened his eyes again.He seemed to hear a slight noise in the silent palace.The ice coffin can isolate the sound, but the sound was still clearly conveyed to his ears, and his ears jumped, and he tried to distinguish the direction——

Miss Lena Barrows was at his side.Glo could probably guess that she had the same experience.However, the red-haired girl is wearing a "Magic Armament". In terms of hardware configuration, it is much more luxurious than other members of the team. In addition, she is famous as the "Fire Witch" in her previous life and is a gifted flame psychic. , maybe there is no reason to capsize in this small gutter...

But the location of the source of the sound seems to be a bit wrong...the dull rumble, like the sound of raging water hitting an obstacle.

Deep in the mine tunnels of the Ampton Mine, lighting illuminates the water system lift room.On the bank of an underground river, three figures stood.

"Can we go there?"

Radiya looked at the water hammer pump in the middle of the rushing river and turned her head to ask.From her current position to that place, there was a distance of about ten meters. She noticed that two thumb-thick steel cables were being pulled on the top of the caverns of the two devices.The steel cable spanned the river, and on her side, the end of the cable was fastened to a rock wall by an iron stake.There was also a gondola hanging there, the size of which was large enough to accommodate two adults, and it was obvious that this thing was set up for easy maintenance.

Veteran Scott glanced at Oliver with a somewhat complicated expression. He was not sure whether this secret in the bandit group should be revealed—but in Oliver's mind, Miss Radiya had been designated as the "wife of the bandit leader" by default, and besides, , In the past, Glo didn't say anything about confidentiality.

Oliver nodded, he walked to the side of the hanging basket, and then called Miss Radia to get in together.Below the hanging rope of the hanging basket, there is a length of rope hanging. After the two untie the fixing mechanism on the hanging basket, Oliver pulls down the rope section by section to form a stack, and the hanging basket begins to move slowly towards the center of the river. .

"Oliver, stay safe."

Scout yelled.He didn't know engineering alchemy, so he didn't have any particularly strong curiosity, he just stayed where he was and looked at the two of them.

With a distance of more than ten meters, the two of them had reached the top of the water hammer pump in a short while.Oliver jumped out of the hanging basket and landed firmly on the support of the pump body. He stretched out his arms, ready to take over Ladia's petite body.However, Miss Mage's skills were far from clumsy as he imagined. After a few light jumps, she lay on the curved pump casing of the water hammer pump.

The whimpering sound became louder and louder, like a giant snoring.Radia turned her head sideways, lifted a strand of long hair that covered her ears, and put it on her head to listen carefully.

"This thing, it's a part that Glo and I replaced last time we came here."

Oliver stood on the support in the river, pointing to the disc at the connection of one of the water hammer pump pipes.This disc is different from the steel material of other parts of the pump body. The black surface is dull and dull, but you can feel a little toughness and elasticity when you pinch it hard.Radia heard what Oliver said, slid off the pump casing, and jumped into place in front of him.

"It looks like the disc is there to keep the pipe connections tight."

Miss Mage squatted down and touched it for a while, then she raised her head and found that Oliver was confirming her guess: "Glo said the name of this thing is... yes, it's called a sealing ring."

"So, this disc can be disassembled?" Relating to the previous conversation, Radia knew that this was a replaceable part.

"Well, that's true. But Glo is not here now, so we'd better not touch this thing."

Seeing Radia's eagerness to move, Oliver reminded her.It is not difficult to remove this sealing ring. According to what the bandit leader once said, all you need to do is unscrew the bolts on the flanges at both ends. As a professional, you can easily complete these things with two fingers.

A pair of white and tender hands had already landed on the bolt.

"Wait! Radia, what do you want?"

Oliver stared dumbfoundedly at Miss Mage twisting the bolts, and he quickly stopped her.But she didn't stop what she was doing, and her fingers were playing with it quickly and skillfully.In the blink of an eye, three bolts on the flange had been unscrewed.There are six in total on the disc. These three bolts are loosened, and a gap appears between the sealing ring and the pipe. Suddenly, a sound of water flowing back can be heard in the entire water hammer pump, as well as a burst of cold water. Air.

Crashing—the falling water splashed a huge white spray on the water surface.

"What happened? Oliver."

Scott, who stayed on the shore, noticed the movement and shouted loudly.He looked towards the position of the two water hammer pumps, but saw Radia carefully bent her waist, her petite body was about to get into the pump casing, the lighting technique lit up the inside of the pump body, and the emptied metal Under the light, the inner surface of the pipe had a white and moist luster.

What a bold and headstrong girl!

But there is no doubt that Ms. Master was too reckless this time - the pipe leads to the upper water collection tank. After losing the impact pressure of the river, the water column in the rising pipe begins to fall. Because of the principle of the connector, even the water column in the water collection tank There is a downward trend in water storage.In Glo's original design of the water supply system, there was a valve on the pipeline. During maintenance, this valve must be closed.But this time, neither Oliver nor Miss Wizard noticed this...

The check valve inside the pipeline is under increasing pressure.

Deep in the tunnel of the Ampton Mine, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came.
