Chapter 28 The strange big lake
Not to mention the storm that the Yun family would face due to the wrath of the current head of the family, after Liu Qinghuan and Yun Zheng separated, they went straight to the outskirts of Qushang Swamp.
The external environment is much better than inside. At least the swamps are not so dense. The light in the forest is also much better. There are fewer and fewer monsters to see. The cultivation level is not high, probably below the first or third level. Let Liu Qinghuan The pressure is greatly reduced.
He didn't stop until he got close to the edge of the Panlong River. Because Yun Zheng had said that the dragon-scale fish in the river was very powerful, he didn't dare to get too close to the river, and kept a proper distance and continued eastward.
In the past two days, he was lucky enough to see how powerful the dragon-scaled fish was! Except for the shadow of a dragon-scale fish jumping high from time to time on the river surface, all other creatures are extinct. But occasionally, when birds that don't know what kind of medicine they took are wrong, they fly overhead in a daze, and you'll see a strange spectacle. Those dragon-scaled fish seemed to have eaten the excitement fruit. They jumped up in large numbers and rushed to bite the birds.
The Dragon Scale Fish has a ferocious mouth that is very inconsistent with its body. When it is opened and closed, it can swallow things several times larger than its body. In addition, the mouth is full of staggered teeth, like sharp arrows inserted randomly. Like, it makes people feel cold.
They jump out of the water very fast, shooting straight into the sky like firecrackers. The most terrifying thing is not this, but that no matter how high you fly, these fish will continue to jump up in a relay. The fish rubs against the fish behind it, as if stepping on a stepping stone, and flies up into the sky until it bites the target!
Don't think that this is the ultimate method of dragon scale fish. They are first and third level monsters. In addition to the most basic water arrows of water monsters, their teeth can be fired as sharp arrows! And with their number, once launched, it would be like a volley of thousands of arrows, which was extremely spectacular.
These fish are absolutely terrifying!
After Liu Qinghuan watched the dragon-scale fish hunt, he couldn't help but stay further away from the river. Fortunately, as long as you don't get too close to the river bank, they usually won't be disturbed, and they don't seem to be interested in anything on the bank.
Except for the occasional attack by some small monsters, the road was relatively peaceful. The pursuit of the Yun family seemed to have stopped. At least Liu Qinghuan did not encounter him. He did not know what the situation was at Yun Zheng's side. He was slightly worried, but thinking of Yun Zheng's skills are not a big problem.
It is getting closer and closer to Haoyuan City.
Liu Qinghuan pushed aside the bushes blocking the road, and his eyes suddenly opened up. Surrounded by trees, he saw a large blue lake appearing in front of him.
The lake is very wide, like a clear mirror, reflecting the long blue sky and white clouds. The breeze blows gently, and the lake surface is filled with sparkling waves. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake like broken gold. The scenery is beautiful.
There are a group of waterbirds swimming in the lake, sometimes flying up and sometimes falling down, preying on fish in the water. Occasionally, the calls of wild ducks come from the grass beside the lake, and the sound of the wind spreads very far away, creating a peaceful and leisurely scene.
Liu Qinghuan observed for a long time, and after confirming that there was no danger around him, he slowly walked to the lake. The group of waterfowl not far away just swam a little further away vigilantly, and then gathered into a group of chirping.
He picked up a handful of water and washed his face. The cool water of the lake washed away all the dust and fatigue he had experienced along the way. Liu Qinghuan sighed happily and looked at the big lake. The lake was clear and deep, and Liu Qinghuan did not use his spiritual sense to explore it to the bottom. Except for some small ordinary fish, there were no dragon-scale fish or other monsters in the lake.
Rest here tonight. He chose an open space by the lake, set up a defensive concealment formation, and began to restore his spiritual power. In his trance, he didn't realize that when the sunlight disappeared and darkness came, all the waterbirds flew away with a huff and a cry, and not a single one was left. The entire lake fell into a mysterious silence. There were often traces of nocturnal beasts looking for food in the woods surrounding the lake, but none of those beasts came close to the lake.
In the middle of the night, a deafening sound suddenly came, and then the earth shook!
Liu Qinghuan woke up from his trance. He only heard a loud "rumbling" sound in his ears. The ground around him seemed to be shaking, making him completely unable to stand. With a sweep of his consciousness, he saw a huge whirlpool appearing in the center of the large lake next to him. The loud noise came from the whirlpool. The lake water was surging and was sucked in by the whirlpool. The water level rose at an extremely fast speed, revealing a lake covered with silt. At the bottom of the lake, some fish that had not retreated with the lake water were jumping and struggling in the mud.
Liu Qinghuan retreated to the woods by the lake and watched in surprise as the water in the lake became less and less. In less than a stick of incense, the vortex in the center had sunk to the bottom of the lake. There was an empty sound of "pop" and the vortex disappeared!
The large lake, completely without water, was in the shape of an inverted cone, dozens of feet deep, with a large hole at the bottom of the cone from which the water was sucked away.
Liu Qinghuan came to the lake. It was a full moon tonight. The bright moonlight shone on the big hole that was originally the lake, but it could not penetrate the thick darkness. The big hole looked bottomless and eerie! A cold, damp wind blew up from the bottom of the cave, like a giant beast opening its mouth and letting out a breath of fishy and unpleasant breath. Liu Qinghuan shivered and took a few steps back.
After a while, a light blue mist floated up where the lake originally was, covering the entire hole under the mist. If you looked at it from the air, you would only see a churning sea of blue mist. You would never have imagined that there was something under the sea of mist. A weird big hole.
Liu Qinghuan had already backed away when the blue mist rose. The blue mist was poisonous at first glance, and it seemed to have the effect of isolating spiritual consciousness.
The area around the big lake seemed extremely quiet at the moment, and no matter whether it was wild beasts or monsters, they were all far away. These beasts live here all year round and should be very familiar with these phenomena in the Great Lake. Therefore, when there is something strange in the Great Lake, they have fled here.
Liu Qinghuan waited all night, until dawn was about to break, there was another loud rumbling sound from the other side of the big lake, and the lake water was back! As soon as the sun shines, the blue mist disappears without a trace, and water birds fly in groups and land on the lake. It is another peaceful and peaceful scene!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes last night, he would have been deceived by the scene in front of him.
"This big lake is very weird!" Liu Qinghuan said to himself while looking at the lake.
On this day, he did not continue on his way, but stayed by the lake, paying attention to the movements of the water birds from time to time. Occasionally, wild beasts and some low-level monsters came to the lake to drink water, but they ignored them.
The sun was setting in the west, the moon was rising, and it was gradually reaching the hour last night. He jumped to a tree by the lake and waited quietly.
In the middle of the night, I heard a series of gentle gurgling sounds coming from the lake, and bubbles of various sizes appeared in the center of the lake. As the number of bubbles increased, the originally calm lake water slowly changed its direction and flowed towards the center. The sound of the water became louder and louder, the flow speed became faster and faster, and soon, a large whirlpool appeared again!
