Lake Maracaibo is undoubtedly a rich place, although the original meaning of the word Maracaibo was not a good word, and even contained some ironic meaning.

Initially, the name Maracaibo was said to be the name of Maracaibo, a brave leader of the local indigenous people.

Because of his heroic resistance to the Spanish colonists, he later fell, and the Spaniards named the city after Maracaibo.

However, another theory has been put forward, that is, the name of this land comes from the slang in the local Aboriginal language, and it is called a place where snakes abound.

Venezuela was also named Venezuela, meaning Little Venice, because the expedition team discovered the scenery along Lake Maracaibo and the floating dwellings of indigenous residents, which resembled Venice, Italy.

Everything here was built on bloody battles, and the city of Maracaibo was renamed after it was occupied by the Spanish.

It can be said that much of the construction in Venezuela and Colombia has benefited from Spain, and many of the rough developments in this land have been influenced by Spain.

It was not until the 20th century that rich oil fields were discovered here, and then rapid development began.

Later, as the richest and most concentrated oil-producing area in the world, Lake Maracaibo was known as the Lake of Petroleum.

The number of fish in the lake has also been greatly reduced, and many fishermen have almost no fish to catch.

It is a pity that Zeng Yunfeng cannot appreciate such beauty at all.

At the ship docking point below, there happened to be a large ship floating on Lake Maracaibo. The large ship slowly started to move away from the lake water, and its speed increased little by little.

Seawater pours back into the center of the lake and deposits in the lower part of the water flow, hindering the natural circulation of the entire lake, causing the death of a large number of algae and microorganisms, and subsequently affecting the entire ecological chain.

However, the development of oil fields in later generations has also made the environmental pollution of Lake Maracaibo increasingly serious.

Fishing was no longer possible in many parts of Lake Maracaibo, and until later, the water from the lake could not be used to irrigate farmland.

Water transportation has become more convenient, but problems have also arisen.

The local government has to spend huge costs to control the pollution of Lake Maracaibo.

To be precise, it should be called a bay.

Maria's eyes were quickly attracted by the strange scenery in the distance. After all, it was impossible not to be surprised when seeing such a scenery in this place.

At the bottom of this lake, the pipelines laid for transporting crude oil are densely packed like a spider web. However, it is very difficult to ensure that the pipelines for oil extraction do not leak.

It is shaped like a money bag opening towards the Caribbean.

At this time, Lake Maracaibo did not suffer from the strange pollution that would later occur. No one was developing oil resources in Lake Maracaibo, and oil did not pollute the water surface.

The lake breeze blows, making people feel refreshed.

Maria looked up at the sky in the distance and asked in surprise.

Electric snakes were dancing wildly in the sky, the sailboat was getting closer and closer to the center of the thunderstorm, and the rumbling thunder became more and more alarming.

Maria was a little surprised and looked back at Zeng Yunfeng, "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

"Yes, the scenery is indeed beautiful, but I don't know how long it can last!" Zeng Yunfeng sighed.

The locals call this kind of floating house Palafito. Long before the arrival of the Spaniards, Indian tribes have lived here for generations.

In Venezuela, almost no one goes to the thunderstorm area during thundery weather, unless they want to die.

"The scenery here is so beautiful!" Maria looked at Lake Maracaibo in front of her, and she felt particularly happy.

Later, in order to develop the oil production industry here, local people widened and deepened the waterway connecting the sea to the sea, and regularly dredged it to facilitate the entry of large-tonnage cargo ships and oil tankers.

This place is still the same as it was at the beginning, everything is as given by nature.

Its oil fields are concentrated on the northeast coast, extending to the bottom of the lake, and most of them are large and very productive oil fields.

Later, this kind of building became a tourist attraction, but the Indians almost disappeared.

The rumble of thunder came from afar, as if a demon was writhing in the black clouds.

Zeng Yunfeng sighed, sometimes it is like this, "The things you see in your eyes are not the same in the eyes of others. There are always some problems that cannot be communicated between people. Even if they can be explained clearly,

It will bring about estrangement.”

The sudden thunderstorm produced an explosion that made her ears still wet.

Zeng Yunfeng shook the reins of his horse and left the place, and Maria followed him.

Generally speaking, this lake cannot be called a lake in a geographical sense, because its opening to the north is connected to the Caribbean Sea.

"What's going on over there?"

"Come a little closer!" Zeng Yunfeng said to the sailor behind him who was steering the ship's rudder.

Lightning and thunder crisscrossed each other, and the sound changed from the drum sound to a more harsh sound, as if thunderstorms were roaring in my ears.

The roaring sound was like the beating of war drums, and the shining arc of electricity flashed into a patch of daylight in the sky.

Crude oil leakage accidents occur almost every month, and black crude oil often appears on the clear lake surface.

The reasons for the formation of thunderstorms are related to many local environmental factors, and local residents in the place where the thunderstorm originated are also accustomed to this kind of weather.

Zeng Yunfeng could understand his curiosity about Maria. After all, normal people would also become curious when seeing such a magical phenomenon.

As the ship headed towards the thunderstorm area, they actually felt a little uneasy.

He was more worried. Looking at the houses built on wooden piles above the surface of Lake Maracaibo, Zeng Yunfeng became even more worried.

Moreover, the fishery resources here are also very rich. It is only connected to the Caribbean Sea through a long and narrow waterway, but it is difficult for seawater to enter the lake area, so it can be called a lake.

Some of these beautiful scenery today have disappeared in the future.

The price of developing nature is sacrificing all the beauty it once had.

Because just a few seconds ago, a lightning struck dozens of meters away from them and landed on the lake.

"Let's leave, it's too dangerous!" Maria started to get a little nervous at this time.

And there are 300 days out of 365 days in a year that you can see this wonder.

Zeng Yunfeng pulled the reins of the horse and said, "Let's go. There is a boat waiting for us below. Don't you want to see the scenery of Maracaibo Lake? Now is the best time."

But Zeng Yunfeng still insisted on approaching there.

The thunderstorm was located at a river crossing upstream of Lake Maracaibo, where thunderstorms often occur.

In the distant sky, black clouds pressed down from the horizon like a huge curtain, and purple arcs of light like electric snakes flowed among the black clouds.

The urban sewage treatment around Lake Maracaibo is also incomplete, and the pollution is getting more and more serious. In addition, several surrounding cities continue to discharge sewage into the lake.

The architecture of Maracaibo is unique, and there are many places with beautiful scenery like this within the territory of the Iron Kingdom.

"It seems you don't know much about this land. That was a thunderstorm!" Zeng Yunfeng looked up at the sky.

Lake Maracaibo is vast and stretches as far as the eye can see, but its average water depth is only over 20 meters.

But Zeng Yunfeng did not allow the sailor operating the rudder to leave.

The sailors had no choice but to head towards the center of the thunderstorm area.

The closer Maria got to the center of the thunderstorm, the more nervous she became. Her mouth opened wide and she could hardly close it.
