I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Even without magic, Chen Zhou would of course be able to find the lost civet angel.

Finally, after a spell-casting process that seemed mysterious but was actually a "magic trick", as a professional prophet, he led everyone to a steam pipe.

"Look."

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the other party and discovered a cat paw print that was extremely difficult to detect but relatively fresh.

That's probably caused by the dirt that the cat has moved around and the steam released from the "steam tower."

Upon seeing this, the administrator Torre was greatly shocked. This tiger-man who looked like a warrior turned out to be a reliable prophet!

Damn it, what he just said seemed to make him very dissatisfied?

Offending the prophet is not a desperate situation. The prophetic magic has almost no combat effectiveness. At most, he can detect where he is...

And then take action yourself?

After discovering the traces of the cat, Donal smiled: "Torre, why do you look so ugly? Don't worry, we will leave immediately after we find the cat and won't cause you any trouble."

"I just... thought of something sad."

The administrator looked away, paused, and then said again after brewing his emotions: "This steam tower will accept the water vapor from the underground, and use it as a driving force to allow the magic runes above to contact the magic network to generate electricity through movement, but every once in a while The pressure will be released to release steam and water all the time, and most of the cats raised by industrial pastors will be surprised by the steam coming from the pressure relief hole.”

Cats are easily frightened, stressed, and don't like water. They will most likely start to panic after being sprayed in the face with water vapor.

They may have been frightened and ran away. In the worst case, they may have fallen into the wastewater and been discharged into the sea!

The Industrial Church is an extremely valued partner of the city lord, how can I explain it now!

"Looking for it again?" Toga looked at Chen Zhou who looked proud.

He had already figured out that this was probably the prophetic magic cast by Cen Ziyu's body in the mage tower, and would not be restricted by the substitute at all. It seemed that the archmage already had the answer in his mind. "

"Although the location of the hairless cat is beyond the range of "biolocation", the footprints have been revealed to my eyes. "

Chen Zhou led everyone to continue to follow the traces, and finally stopped at a wellhead-like pipe - the difference from the pipe in Mario that can move across the map is that it is cyan.

"The cat jumped into this pipe and moved to another area."

"This is impossible!"

The administrator subconsciously retorted, and then calmly explained: "This is the overall pressure relief pipe. All excess steam will be discharged through it. If the cat falls in, it will never be rescued."

Toga was puzzled: "Why?"

"Because it leads directly to the source of underground steam. No one can enter without the permission of the city lord."

At least the industrial church they were holding proved ineffective.

"Moreover, the pipeline is heavily protected and the pressure is often released. That hairless cat is probably already in danger..."

This is a rather euphemistic way of saying it. The administrator looked ugly and was convinced that the cat would definitely die.

There is absolutely no way to explain this to the Industrial Church.

Chen Zhou and Donal looked at each other and secretly determined that they probably wouldn't be able to dive to the deepest point from here.

Probably because he was worried that the three people sent by the church would not be gullible, the administrator simply suggested that they let them watch a steam pressure release.

The three people who were already curious about this readily accepted it and waited for the view that comes once a day.

However, it was not until the workers opened the pressure relief valve on time that they realized that something was not quite right about today's situation.

The steam didn't come on time.

Instead, some intensive slapping sounds and vibrations continued to come from the depths.

Sensing that the administrator was becoming more and more nervous as time passed, Toga asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"There seems to be something wrong...is it my imagination?"

Torre shook his head and stuck his head into the pressure relief pipe.

"This is simply seeking death. Don't they have operating regulations?"

There are people in the Great River Territory who have been run over by machines due to improper operation. Especially the positive energy of Paradise has an outstanding effect. Even if the person is torn apart, as long as the head is still on, he can survive for a while and feel endless pain.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Close the pressure relief valve quickly! Quick!"

He, who had only put his head in for a second, fled from the pipe in panic, shouting to close it as he ran.

But it was too late.

Before the workers could react, dense monsters flew out of them!

"Mephistry."

Toga immediately judged the identity of the monster and saw the huge number of them. He took out a piece of liqueur chocolate from his bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

Donal immediately raised his shield and stepped forward: "Close the valve quickly and hide in the bunker!"

Chen Zhou looked curiously at the small humanoid monsters with wings.

They look icy blue all over, as if they are made of ice and snow, and their bodies are constantly exuding waves of coolness.

"This is an ice mephit, an alien creature from the elemental plane. It is the most cruel and aggressive of all mephits."

It was born out of the active energy of the inner world. Its body is composed of cold air and water, and it is also an elemental creature.

It will self-destruct when it dies, can release icy breath, can use energy to create large snow fog or similar effects, and can quickly regenerate itself in cold environments.

"The enslaved water djinn below must have freed them. This is the djinn's revenge." 』

Without enough time to care about the specific reason, Chen Zhou immediately drew out his staff.

"Be careful, they are very resistant to non-magical weapons and immune to the power of cold and wind, even those that don't pass spell resistance!"

Chen Zhou could already guess that they were almost identical just by looking at their appearance.

He wasn't trying to kill the mephit right now - all the magic in the simulacrum and the staff couldn't harm the ice mephit at all.

In theory.

"Donal, clean up around the pipes."

The dragonborn, who was familiar with the simulacra's spellcasting abilities, immediately understood and started to have feelings for him.

"Ugh~"

The acidic breath sprayed towards the pressure relief pipe!

The magic bats were not very intelligent, but they were not willing to directly accept this attack that seemed not good in every sense, and they all avoided the range of the spit.

However, there were also a small number of people who failed to avoid it successfully and were thus corroded by acid—the energy attack, which was essentially earth element, turned into ice shards.

The dead ice magic bats exploded one after another, with steel needles and projectile-like ice chips flying everywhere. Even the pressure relief pipes made of steel showed dense scratches and bullet holes.

At the same time, the escaping elemental power lowered the temperature of the energy factory to below freezing point, and the cold mist suddenly spread from the pipes to the surroundings!

Toga's face darkened, and he knocked on another piece of wine-filled chocolate.

Chen Zhou used the magic power in the staff to perform the "Water Creation Technique (Ice)" amplified by the Frost Rune (ISE).

The ice cube, which is stronger than steel and stronger than fine gold, completely sealed the pipe!
