"Peng Fei, this place is a bit evil. I think we should call Brother Zhuang back?"
Battle also showed a cautious look on his face. Peng Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said disapprovingly: "What's so evil? Brother Zhuang could dive down to a depth of thirty or forty meters with bare hands in the sea, so big
How else can I give him the lake?"
You must know that the water pressure in the sea is much greater than that in inland lakes, and Peng Fei knows that Zhuang Rui has excellent physique, so as long as there are no water monsters in the lake, there will be no danger.
Thinking of this, Peng Fei asked Battle: "Old Ba, there...isn't there any man-eating water monster in here?"
There are indeed water monsters in China, such as the unidentified creatures in Kenas Lake in Xinjiang, the mysterious plateau lake Lieta Lake in Jiulong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, and Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. Some people have seen some big guys with unknown origins with their own eyes.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, everyone believes that there must be unknown monsters in those places, and there is no guarantee that there will be some living prehistoric creatures on this grassland.
"Water monster? No, but..."
Barter shook his head after hearing this. When he was about to speak, he suddenly found that Zhuang Rui's body had submerged into the lake. He suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Brother Zhuang, come back quickly, you can't dive here..."
It's just that Zhuang Rui's whole body has completely entered the lake at this moment, and he didn't hear Battle's words at all. Even if he heard it, Zhuang Rui wouldn't care. He could see clearly through his spiritual energy that there was no danger under the lake.
.
However, when Peng Fei on the shore saw Battle's hesitation, he felt a little unsure and asked: "Old man, what's going on? Please explain it clearly..."
"I don't know how to say it either..."
Battle smiled bitterly, "This area is the deepest part of Swan Lake and has the most fish. However, the current below is very fast. Someone once fished here and was pulled down by the current. Even the bones could not be found.
Yes, some people say this is the place leading to the eye of the sea..."
In the past ten or twenty years, people have often disappeared while fishing or swimming in this water area. Later, the relevant departments organized salvage operations, but no human bones were found at the bottom of the lake. They only surveyed the water flow at the bottom of the lake.
It was very urgent, like there was a suction force.
Since there was no corresponding diving equipment, the local government was also afraid that the salvage crew might have an accident, so in the end it was abandoned.
The government failed to figure out the truth of the matter, so some locals spread the myth that this place leads to the Dragon King's Crystal Palace. After repeated visits, no one dared to enter the water from here again.
Although Battle and others are not from this gathering place, their gathering place is only dozens of kilometers away from here, and they have heard of this matter.
"Damn it, is there such a thing?"
After Peng Fei heard what Battle said, he suddenly became anxious, "Old Ba, you...why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"I...I said it, but neither of you listened..."
Battle was also very unjust. He reminded Zhuang Rui not to get into the water from the beginning, but the two brothers didn't take it seriously, and now they have become villains themselves.
"No, I have to go down to find Brother Zhuang. Grandma, why does trouble follow Brother Zhuang wherever he goes?"
Peng Fei looked at the lake at this moment, but there was no sign of Zhuang Rui. However, he was getting more and more panicked. He didn't care that his water quality was not as good as Zhuang Rui's, so he started to take off his clothes.
"Wow..."
Just as Peng Fei had just taken off his shirt and was about to unbutton his trousers, a wave of waves suddenly rose on the lake more than ten meters away, parting to both sides, and Zhuang Rui's head popped up.
"Brother Zhuang..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui emerge from the lake, Peng Fei was overjoyed and said, "Brother Zhuang, are you okay? Come up quickly. There is something evil in this lake..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's just that the water under the lake is a bit fast, but there are so many fish, Peng Fei, then..."
Following Zhuang Rui's words, his right hand came out of the water. What emerged from the water was a red turtle fish that was more than a foot long. Its long red tail was constantly slapping the water.
However, the three fingers of Zhuang Rui's right hand were dug into the gills of the fish, but he was able to hold it firmly. He threw it hard with his right hand, and the red turtle fish drew an arc and landed on the grass by the lake, jumping back and forth.
"Hey, Zhuang Ruian's answer is really amazing. This fish is rarely this big. It only exists in this lake. It's a blessing for everyone..."
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was fine, everyone was relieved. Timur happily picked up the fish and looked at it from side to side. This kind of red kidnapper fish has very few bones and the meat is delicious.
It’s just that few people can catch it.
After Zhuang Rui heard Timur's words in the lake, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Timur, this fish is roasted and eaten. I looked at the old turtle below to see if I could catch one.
Make soup and drink..."
Timur, who was on the shore with a happy face, heard that Zhuang Rui wanted to catch the old turtle, and couldn't help but said worriedly: "Zhuang Rui'an replied, the current below is strong, you'd better not dive too deep..."
Zhuang Rui stepped on the water and exposed his body from the chest up to the water. He said with a smile, "It's okay. I can dive for more than ten minutes. I need to catch more fish. Otherwise, this one won't be enough to eat. It will be too slow to come back up."
, don’t worry either..."
Zhuang Rui was inoculating several people on the shore. After he dived into the entrance of the underground river, he thought it would take a long time, probably more than ten minutes, and he would not be able to come back.
"Okay, then be careful, we are angry, it will be noon soon..."
After seeing Zhuang Rui's aquatic nature, the few people on the shore were not particularly worried, especially since Bater and Timur had not seen anyone missing here with their own eyes, so they thought the rumors were false.
"knew……"
Zhuang Rui smiled and waved to the people on the shore. After taking a deep breath, he plunged into the lake. With a small wave rising on the calm lake surface, Zhuang Rui still disappeared.
The water in this lake is very clear, and with the sunlight shining overhead, Zhuang Rui can clearly see the situation at the bottom of the water.
On the surface, this lake looks very quiet, but if you look at the water plants growing on the bottom of the lake, you can see that an undercurrent is pulling the water plants in one direction, and this direction is where Zhuang Rui wants to enter.
The place.
However, the entrances to the underground river were all covered by dense aquatic plants. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the government failed to salvage it at that time.
"Grandma, these aquatic plants are really troublesome. It's hard to get rid of them if they get entangled..." Zhuang Rui did not rush to dive down, but frowned and observed.
When Zhuang Rui observed the entrance of the underground river before, he did not notice these aquatic plants, but it is obvious that these aquatic plants are now the biggest obstacle for him to enter the underground river.
Under the refraction of the sun, the water plants appeared dark green, like a woman's hair, dancing in all directions under the water, but Zhuang Rui knew very well that these seemingly harmless water plants could kill people invisibly.
In addition to being unable to swim and suffering from cramps, people who drowned in water most likely died because they were entangled in water plants. There is also a folk legend about water ghosts harming people. The so-called water ghosts,
In fact, it is these water plants.
Zhuang Rui's guess was correct. Although the current at the bottom of the lake was very fast, it was not strong enough to push a large living person into the entrance of the underground river.
Nine out of ten of the deaths known to Barter and others were entangled in water plants and died.
As for the missing corpses, it was because the weeds loosened up after those people died, and the bodies were carried into the underground river passage by the current. There were also some corpses entangled very close by the weeds, but they were covered up by the dense aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake.
After Zhuang Rui frowned and thought for a moment, he swam towards the opposite place to the entrance of the underground river. The water flow here was not fast and the aquatic plants were equally lush. Zhuang Rui wanted to test the tenacity of the aquatic plants.
"Hey, there's something going on..."
Zhuang Rui came to a place with shallow water, deliberately wrapped his arms around a few thick-looking water plants, and then pulled them out with all his strength. Several water plants were broken at the same time.
Zhuang Rui tried again and got his feet entangled in the water plants, but he broke free easily. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. These tough-looking water plants were not so scary.
But Zhuang Rui didn't want to think about it. It was not him who was at fault. If it were someone else, not to mention the panic in his heart after being entangled by water plants, he probably wouldn't have that much strength to break off the water plants.
"Hey, I said, the old turtle is here, let's go on..."
Zhuang Rui was in a good mood and caught an old turtle weighing three kilograms from a water plant. He surfaced from the water and threw it to everyone on the shore.
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was fine, everyone was completely relieved. Peng Fei even shouted loudly: "Brother Zhuang, catch two more fish..."
"Okay, wait a minute..."
Zhuang Rui agreed, and his body sank again, but this time, he swam toward the entrance of the underground river, and his expression became cautious.
The closer he got to the entrance of the underground river, the more rapid the water flow became. However, Zhuang Rui tried it and was able to swim against the current. He immediately made a sudden move and followed the rapids at the bottom of the lake, diving into the one covered by aquatic plants.
entrance of the cave.
…
"Hey, what's going on? It's been seven or eight minutes. Why hasn't Brother Zhuang come up yet?"
Everyone on the shore had already set up a bonfire, and Peng Fei even put the red turtle fish on it to grill. However, after waiting and waiting, Zhuang Rui's diving time seemed to be a bit long.
"Is nothing going to happen?"
Dr. Ren said with some worry that the Swan Lake covers a large area. Although the water is clear, standing on the shore still gives people a mysterious and unknown feeling.
