The height of seventy or eighty meters is a piece of cake for Ding Kui now. He flew to the top of the waterfall in a dozen breaths. However, in the eyes of other members of the adventure group, Ding Kui's figure continued to shrink, indicating that
He is still flying upward.
Yongchun Lake with a radius of hundreds of miles came into Ding Kui's eyes, like a huge sapphire.
The clear sky merges with the lake water. The tops of the white-capped snow-capped mountains in the distance turn into white clouds in the lake water. The silk-smooth lake surface tells its tranquility with the refraction of light.
A naturally formed drainage channel winds from the lakeside, forming the waterfall in front of Ding Kui and the others.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a beautiful picture, how can an ugly bone beetle deserve to live here." Ding Kui briefly forgot about his companions.
A splash of water in Yongchun Lake woke up Ding Kui who was admiring the scenery.
He shot a fireball down casually, then found a boulder at the top of the waterfall, tied one end of the hemp rope tightly to the boulder, and threw the other end down the waterfall.
Not long after, the sparrow climbed up with a rope tied around his waist. The two thick hemp ropes increased the efficiency of the team's climbing of the waterfall. With only one stick of incense, everyone climbed to the top of the waterfall.
"Wow, wow, it's so unique and beautiful." Bai Ruoxi is the most excited person in the team.
"What have you discovered?" Cui Tianwu asked Ding Kui.
"There are no traces of humans yet. There are creatures in the lake, but I don't know what kind of creatures they are." Ding Kui's answer made Cui Tianwu half relieved.
"The nests of bone beetles are usually near lakes. Should we search separately for such a big lake?" Sparrow had a headache. He had to explore the way alone. It would take him more than a day to walk around Yongchun Lake.
"I'm afraid it would be dangerous to separate," Hua Mulan, who rarely participated in the discussion, spoke up. "Your Excellency Xie Peng said that there are creatures in the lake, so let's go together. Even if it's slower, at least it's safer."
"One more day wasted means one more day of consumption. It is difficult for us to find food in Yongchun Lake. Bone beetles cannot be eaten." Dou Xiaoqi is still concerned about the food issue.
Now the team's opinions were divided. Dou Xiaoqi supported Ma Qiao'er's opinion and separated the two teams to search the lake shore; Bai Ruoxi, of course, supported his cousin and acted together to ensure the safety of the team.
Cui Tianwu was caught between his friend and his wife, unable to make a decision, so he had to look at Ding Kui for help. Lei Feixiang listened to Ding Kui no matter what, and his opinions could basically be ignored.
"Well, since we were able to hunt roe deer before, it means that we can hunt for food later on in the journey, so we don't have to worry too much about this aspect." What Ding Kui is least worried about is the food problem, but it is hard to tell everyone clearly, "Bone beetles cannot be eaten.
, I wonder if the thunder frog can be eaten? I would like to try it if I have a chance.
Walking from the right is the closest to Wenquan Ridge. I estimate that the bone beetle's nest should be close to Wenquan Ridge. Let's search together to the right. This will not only ensure everyone's safety, but also quickly find the bone beetle's nest and get a closer look.
We can know in time if anyone goes up to Wenquan Ridge."
The person with the highest combat power in the team spoke up, and Cui Tianwu quickly followed up and said: "Yes, everything that Your Excellency Xie Peng wants can be solved in one fell swoop, and everything that the two brothers are worried about can be solved. When I bring you out, I will do it completely."
I'll prepare the land to take you back, it's safer for us all to go to the right together."
Lacking human support, Ma Qiaoer and Dou Xiaoqi had no choice but to act with the team.
Bone beetles do not stay in the water for a long time. They often go ashore to look for food. The shore near their nests will definitely leave traces of their tentacles. Ding Kui and the others only need to find these traces and then go into the water to search from the nearest place to minimize the number of
Time spent in the water.
Wenquan Ridge was not far from the top of the waterfall, and not long after the sun passed overhead, Ding Kui and his party arrived at the foot of Wenquan Ridge along the shore of Yongchun Lake.
The rugged mountainous terrain has no impact on the amphibious monsters such as bone beetles. The foot of the Wenquan Ridge extends directly to the bottom of Yongchun Lake. At the junction of the lake and the mountains, Ding Kui and the others discovered the footprints of the bone beetles, which can also be said to be tentacle traces.
This adventure group did not rush into the water, but first built a camp on the shore. This was a defensive camp, not only to guard against monsters but also against humans.
There is very likely a bone beetle nest under the water, which is estimated to contain a large number of magic cores. At this time, the only threats to the adventure group are Warcraft and other adventure groups. Adventure groups fight for interests, and even kill people and silence them. There are endless incidents.
Everyone is harmonious on the stage, and swords are shining off the stage. Even if you don't want to rob others, you must guard against being robbed by others.
It was still early before dark, and a fire had been lit in the camp, and an iron pot was set up to boil hot water. Ding Kui, Bai Ruoxi and Lei Feixiang were all ready to go into the water. It was the coldest time in this season when they came out of the water.
Yes, the team prepared hot water for them to clean.
What everyone didn't expect was that Ding Kui actually brought a water bag, but like a gentleman, he handed the water bag to Bai Ruoxi, "Although this is a bit big for you to wear, it can be pierced. Don't refuse, you are the only woman in the water.
It's easier to wear water, Lei Feixiang and I are both big men and don't have so many taboos."
"Thank you," Bai Ruoxi used honorifics for the first time, "this way I can go faster in the water." She was not pretentious, the water support was of great use to her.
Ding Kui jumped into Yongchun Lake in the cold wind wearing only a pair of leather pants. He moved in the water for a while and then dived into the water.
"Hey, I feel cold just looking at it." Lei Feixiang shivered while doing warm-up exercises.
The water of Yongchun Lake is very clear, and the sunlight in the afternoon is even more dazzling. Ding Kui's sight can reach about 20 meters underwater.
He noticed that there was darkness in the center of the lake. He estimated that the water there was at least fifty meters deep. The slope extending from Wenquan Ridge disappeared into the darkness. The bottom of the lake should actually be the bottom of Wenquan Ridge.
Some strange-shaped fish swam close to the shore to feed. Ding Kui was frightened by Ding Kui who suddenly jumped into the water and swam deeper into the water, making Ding Kui convinced that the bone beetles in this area had not returned.
During the special training with Gu Zhuangdian, Ding Kui learned the Water Breathing Technique and the Fire Breathing Technique. He thought that there was little chance of being buried in the ground, so he did not learn the Earth Breathing Technique. However, Gu Zhuangdian warned him that no matter how difficult it is to learn,
He must learn the Earth Breathing Technique so that he can survive no matter what extreme environment he encounters. It would be ridiculous for a magician to be suffocated to death.
The last time he used the water breath technique, he was in a water tank. This time, Ding Kui used it for the second time in Yongchun Lake. He felt that when the magic returned from the magic circle, it brought air into the lungs, ensuring the body's demand for oxygen.
, he can stay in the water as long as his magic power is not exhausted.
Haha, it feels amazing to be in the water, but it’s a bit cold. The resistance in the water is very high. If possible, you can do some basic training in the water.
The first thing Ding Kui thought of while in the water was actually related to knight training, which was something that no one else could guess even with their brains.
He walked more than 20 meters towards the junction of Yongchun Lake and Wenquan Ridge and found the traces of bone beetles going up the mountain. He followed the traces in the opposite direction and found a dark hole about ten meters away from the center of the lake.
entrance of the cave.
This place is twenty meters away from the water. Only a faint light shines through the lake. It can’t shine more than a few meters through the entrance of the hole. Ding Kui took out the space ring from his bun. He always keeps it close to his body and never leaves it.
Half a moment.
The luminous pearl given by Jiang Tong was taken away as a betrothal token for Long Yan. Ding Kui also found a good quality luminous pearl at the Lu Chamber of Commerce. In the world of Shenyuan, which lacks lighting equipment, the luminous pearl has a wide range of uses.
Relying on the illumination of the luminous pearl, Ding Kui reached into the black hole at the bottom of the water. The passage in this hole was not small, and could accommodate three adult bone beetles side by side, and Ding Kui could walk upright inside.
The black hole does not open vertically downward. Ding Kui groped for a while and found that the passage began to form a horizontal angle, probably towards the center of Wenquan Ridge. After walking more than ten meters forward, the passage began to slope upward, and there was gravity.
It is not difficult to find this.
After another ten meters, Ding Kui emerged from the water.
Aha, bone beetles don't sleep in water.
The cautious Ding Kui did not immediately remove the water breath technique, but lit a torch and burned it in the passage for a while.
This should be a cave in the middle of Wenquan Ridge. There is a ventilation hole outside the passage. Bone beetles also need to breathe.
At this time, Ding Kui relieved himself of the water breath technique and continued walking forward while holding the torch.
After climbing up the slope for a while, Ding Kui walked into a large cave. The light from the torch was limited and he could not see the deepest part of the cave. He could only see the top of the cave, which was more than ten meters high.
There was no need to search for it. Ding Kui had already felt the rich energy. He jumped over several large puddles towards the place with the deepest concentration. He finally discovered the magic cores all over the ground, and finally his trip to Yongchun Lake was not in vain.
There are too few magic cores here! Hey, I was overthinking it. Yongchun Lake is not far from Tianmen Town, and the strength of the magic beasts here is too low. How could the masters of the Association miss this place? It must be there after a while.
Come and collect once.
Even though the magic core was found, Ding Kui was still disappointed. Compared with the magic core in Funiu Mountain, it was pitifully small. It was estimated that there was only one tenth of it.
The most powerful monsters in Yongchun Lake and Wenquan Ridge are at the late fourth level. A water or air forbidden magician can steal magic cores without anyone noticing. The magician will always be able to give so many magic cores to the guild below every year.
Multiple resources cannot be conjured out of thin air.
There is a vice-president of the association stationed in Tianmen Town, not entirely to resist the beast tide. On the contrary, Rongzhi rarely takes action against the beast tide.
The adventure group members on the shore waited for about half an hour before Ding Kui's head popped up in the water thirty or forty meters away from the camp.
When Bai Ruoxi saw Ding Kui waving to her, she quickly jumped into the water with several large skin bags; Ma Qiao'er and Hua Mulan jumped onto the simple archery tower and watched the situation around the camp vigilantly; Cui Tianwu and Dou Xiao rode with weapons
Staying on the shore, Lei Feixiang was the only one taking off his clothes.
In the distance, there were many pairs of eyes watching everything happening in the camp.
