Chapter 587 Under the Storm

Under the mountains to the east of the city.

Xia Fan and others are trapped in the cave. The top priority is to break through the pass and escape from here.

"How about you give it a try?" Xia Fan asked Olina quietly. There is no metal rod that is hard enough to use as ammunition, so the effect of using the shock technique will not be ideal. And Olina once used a magical technique in Gyeonggi Province, which directly burned through the two walls of the Privy Council Palace. It seemed to be very good at dealing with large obstacles.

Olina looked troubled, and after a moment she bit her lips and said, "I can no longer use magic."

Xia Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why?"

"I don't know..." Olina's tone was a little frustrated, "Ever since I heard what you said, it has been difficult for me to get a response from the gods. I thought it was because the Eastern Continent was too far away from the Holy Wing Islands, but I also prayed in private when I came here, and the result was still the same as before.”

At this point, she glanced at Xia Fan complainingly, "This is all your fault."

"Uh..." The latter was speechless for a moment. Does primary education still have this effect?

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that it had nothing to do with knowledge.

It was Olina's mind that changed.

"You guys stand back." At this time, Taksis stood up and said, "Give me these stones."

Obviously, as the leader of the trial team and a priest of Hera, her magical attainments are not lower than those of ordinary dragonborn.

After reciting an obscure spell, Taxis raised her hands above her head, and then a long sword burning with golden flames appeared out of thin air in her hands.

"Look, this is the power of Lord Yongyi!" Des Moines' eyes were full of admiration.

As she spoke, the girl slashed her long sword down. The golden sword light was like a morning light that broke through the darkness, cutting through the water and piercing through the falling rocks!

Not only the blocked entrance to the cave, but also the stone roof on the upper edge of the cave was split by this sword - wherever the sword light hit, all obstacles were annihilated, as if it was not a simple light, but some kind of burst. The physical energy shot out and the high heat it brought even caused the water vapor in the cave to boil instantly!

"That's enough..." Takesis took a few breaths and stood up slowly. Such magic seemed to consume a lot of energy, and she had no intention of using it continuously.

However, before the sword light was completely extinguished, Xia Fan suddenly heard an extremely dull roar.

What is this noise?

He was stunned. Are the rocks collapsing?

No...it seems like something is approaching them quickly!

"No!" Li's expression on the other side changed drastically. She grabbed Xia Fan and threw it into the air. Then she transformed into a double-tailed fox. While catching Xia Fan, she jumped towards the stone wall behind, "Get out of here quickly, then It’s the sound of waves!”

Before the words could be heard, the rubble piled in front of people fell apart with a loud bang, and the raging water spurted out from the gap opened by the sword light, instantly knocking down several members of the trial team who had no time to react. .

Without the obstruction of gravel, the sea water became more violent.

For a moment, the hole seemed to have become a flood outlet of a dam, and the water spurted out nearly a hundred steps away. It was extremely difficult to stay standing, let alone rushing out against the water column.

Fortunately, everyone was a demon holder and responded quickly.

The Dragonborn directly transforms into a giant dragon, tossing and turning in a narrow space. Even if it cannot fly, its huge body can ensure that it is not washed away by the current.

Qian Yan calmly condensed a hollow ice ball and floated with the incoming sea water.

Everyone is not worried about drowning, but the key is how to get out.

"Why does sea water pour into the cave?" Someone asked in disbelief, "Even if the tide rises, it won't be so exaggerated, right?"

"It's useless to think about it now. How is the dragon's water quality?" Xia Fan said bluntly, "As long as the cave is not filled up, it will be difficult for us to swim out against the current, so we must wait until the sea water is filled before taking action."

"We are flying dragons, not water dragons. Of course we can't move freely in the water!" Des Moines snorted angrily, "This is definitely another enemy trap."

"Let's turn into human form and swim out," Taxis said, looking at the rapidly rising water. "As a native of the Holy Wing Islands, there shouldn't be anyone who doesn't know how to swim, right?"

"Um...I have never learned to swim." Olina, who was lying on the rock wall, said nervously.

"Neither have I, my lord."

"And I……"

Taxis couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Among the people she brought, there were actually five people who didn't know how to swim. This was really beyond her expectation.

Maybe the Dragonborn feels that since he can fly anyway, there is no need to flop around like ordinary people in the water?

She decided to make a proposal to the church to force the Tribunal to learn swimming when she returned this time.

It's just that distant water can't save nearby fire. Sneaking in a waterway where you can't see your fingers is extremely dangerous for a dragonborn who can't swim.

"Just follow me closely." Li suddenly said, "There are more than a dozen people in total. I can take you out together."

"Are you sure? Don't show off on this kind of thing." Xia Fan said slightly worried.

"Don't worry, swimming is a fox's instinct. And it's easier to drag a dozen people in the water than on land, as long as they don't let go."

"I can build them an ice block seat," Qian Yanya added, "so you don't have to worry about them falling off the team halfway."

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the sea water had reached the top of the cave, and it was only half a body away from being completely filled. Taxis knew that she could no longer hesitate.

"Then I'll leave it to you two. I'll definitely remember helping the Judiciary this time." She stroked Li's chest and said.

The latter nodded and swam into the crowd. Qianyan condensed more than ten "chairs" on the fox demon's back in a very short time - it looked very simple, consisting of only an ice plate and a small backrest, and a handle connected to the ice plate. All the seats were fixed with curved ice racks and then wrapped around Li's back and abdomen.

Li couldn't help but shudder.

This thing was obviously not very comfortable to stick to his body, and he could feel the coldness of the ice even through layers of fur.

"Everyone climb up and sit down!" Taksis ordered, "Listen to my orders, prepare to take a deep breath - no one is allowed to let go of the handle until you float out of the water!"

Everyone followed suit.

Although the chair has a simple structure, it provides four fixing points in front, back, up and down. As long as you clamp the board with your thighs and hold the handles with both hands, you will basically not be washed away by the water.

"Ready--inhale!"

After a hissing sound, Li plunged into the water and swam towards the cave entrance.

Xia Fan opened his eyes and looked around-the original shallows and piers were completely submerged in the water, and the entrance and exit became a secret passage under the water. Fortunately, the water flow speed at this time was no longer the same as before. Li shook his tail and easily passed through the cave entrance, and then began to climb up.

He was surprised to find that the sea surface had far exceeded the previous height, as if the entire Azure Castle had sunk dozens of meters overnight.

Since the east of the city has become like this, what about other places?

Xia Fan had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Wow--"

After a long cruise, Li finally emerged from the water.

Without saying a word, Taksis turned into a flying dragon again on the spot and rushed straight into the sky.

Xia Fan also asked Olina to take him up to check the situation.

And the scene in front of them stunned everyone for a while.

The original Azure Castle seemed to have disappeared twice, and the sea water overflowed the dock embankment and poured into the city streets, almost level with the first floor of the building. It was also raining heavily in the sky, but it was limited to the urban area. To be more precise, the rain was only concentrated under the black vortex cloud. People rushed to the high ground to escape, and distressed residents could be seen everywhere in the water.

Not to mention the harbor area, where it was already difficult to tell where the land was and where the sea was. The ships docked at the port were either destroyed by the waves, or drifted into the city along the surging water.

Sorry, there is only one update today. I wanted to get up early to write two chapters, but I ended up having another sleepless night. I was still asleep at 6 o'clock in the morning. I was dumbfounded T.T
