The floods are mighty!
The endless river water poured into the labyrinth, its vast power easily comparable to that of Platinum or even Diamond Level water-based Magic!
This is no exaggeration at all!
After all, "destructive power" isn't the only measure of Extraordinary Power, "altering terrain and landscape" strategic Spell has always been a superior Magic!
Sometimes with the aid of the Power of Nature, one could achieve the same effect.
Faced with the sudden flood, the Earth Cave Spiders of the Weaving Shadow Nest were thrown into a panic, frantically scurrying for higher ground.
However, no matter how they dodged, the Weaving Shadow Nest's "illegal constructions" lacked a reliable drainage system.
And the elevation here was always lower than the riverbed on the surface!
The Earth Cave Spider's webbing was indeed waterproof, but it couldn't withstand being submerged underwater.
They could only desperately use their webs to pack rocks and earthwork, trying their best to block the leaking entrances and praying that the water outside would quickly flow elsewhere.
Although the Weaving Shadow Nest lacked a drainage system, the labyrinth had one.
Watching the palace on the verge of collapse and the leaky spider nests, the enormous Alachinos was shocked and furious, her anxiety sending her hopping and leaping on the damp webs.
"Damn it! Damn those humans! To think they would flood the labyrinth! This! This is just too malicious!"
Up until now, she believed this was a tactic by the surface humans.
After all, Alakdo had not told her that when Lord Demon King had been slashing the Earth Dragon emissary, his own spit had also smeared on the corpse.
The Earth Dragon kind had long known that the Weaving Shadow Nest and the Great Graveyard were colluding.
If we can't handle the Demon King, can't we handle you?
An Earth Cave Spider hurried to her side, calling out in fear.
"Your Majesty! We can't hold on much longer!"
"Hold on even if you can't!"
Alachinos kicked the spider away, screeching at the top of her lungs in the damp palace.
"If we run out of stones, use your lives! Do whatever it takes to block the leaking areas! If I die, none of you will live either!"
With that, she grabbed another small spider and threw it out.
"Hurry! Go and seek help from Lord Demon King!!!"
The small spider dashed off on its eight legs, frantically heading for the northern entrance.
"Yes, yes!!"
In this situation.
One could only hope that the master of the labyrinth would solve the problem...
...
"The labyrinth is flooded?!"
After hearing the report from the small spider sent by Alachinos, Luo Yan's face was full of surprise.
It wasn't because the formally educated him didn't understand such crude methods, but because flooding the labyrinth was an extremely antiquated tactic.
On the front lines of Hell, humans had developed similar tactics hundreds of years ago, and now almost nobody used them.
The reasons for not using them were simple, because they were simply ineffective.
Firstly, labyrinth segments near surface water sources were usually inhabited by aquatic and amphibious creatures, and secondly, every level of the labyrinth had water storage structures and special flood discharge channels directly connected to the lower elevation maze entrances and drainage ditches.
Furthermore, at the very bottom of the labyrinth lay an Abyss that reached down to the magma layer, which could contain a massive freshwater lake.
Faced with such subterranean facilities jointly constructed by "Divine Power" and creatures, all the surface humans could ultimately do was to play whack-a-mole, eliminating the Demon King's army that invaded the surface and send expendable adventurers into the Demon King's territory.
However, Alakdo's trembling appearance told Luo Yan that this flood might not be that simple.
"Lo-Lord Demon King... Her Majesty Alachinos's nest is in the 'expansion area'! The water that has poured in might not be able to be drained..."
Other spiders might just hide and be done with it.
But Lady Alachinos has long since become too bloated to leave her nest... if they don't do something, they'll all lose their great mother!
"Pfft——"
Seemingly having thought of something, Mi Xi quickly covered her mouth, struggling not to burst out laughing.
Alakdo was in a panicked state, his previous bluster nowhere to be found.
Luo Yan understood in an instant.
Jeez.
Illegal construction, huh?!
If he didn't intervene, the Weaving Shadow Nest would probably become history.
Without a moment's hesitation, Luo Yan immediately ordered.
"Youyou, assemble the First Skeleton Soldier Legion, have them go to the 'barracks' to grab their weapons! Set the rally point at the North Peak Mine entrance!"
"Remember, only those with sequence numbers under five hundred can have guns! Each person is only allowed one!"
New players probably wouldn't even know how to load bullets; holding guns would just add to the chaos, better to pick up any rodent weapon and make do.
Youyou: "Eh?! North Peak Mine entrance?! Is it on the surface?"
"Of course! If we're not going from the surface, are we going to navigate through the labyrinth?!"
Luo Yan cursed softly, then raised his voice to continue ordering Mi Xi, who stood at the entrance to the grand hall.
"Mi Xi, I have a task for you! Go outside the labyrinth now, head to the river area southwest of the Silver Pine Forest, and scout along the river!"
"I will set out with my First Army together with you. Remember! Avoid all human villages, focus on scouting out-of-the-way and even abandoned labyrinth entrances! If you find any clues, fly to me at once to report! There will be generous rewards!"
Upon hearing about leaving underground and going to help those detestable Earth Cave Spiders, Mi Xi was actually quite reluctant in her heart.
Just let it flood?
Anyway, even if the first floor is submerged, it won't reach the second floor, and maybe the soil will become more fertile, possibly even growing some extra mushrooms.
