Chapter 609 The giant beast at the bottom of the lake
After leaving the mountain temple and continuing north, the road becomes increasingly difficult.
In other words, there was no road at all, and everyone was just walking through the snow-covered rocks.
According to Huang Province, there are actually several relatively easy routes in the Tianshan Mountains, but the snow is too thick in winter and it is difficult to distinguish them.
But this is not a big problem.
In the realm of five people, whether there is a road or not will not affect the speed too much, as long as the direction is correct.
"call!"
The sun is dazzling and the mountain breeze is not strong.
The footprints left on the white snow are very shallow, and no traces can be seen when blown by the wind.
The speed of the group was not fast, but it was definitely not slow either. After a while, they could no longer see the Wangnan Peak and the Mountain Temple behind them. Everywhere they looked, they could see the same snowy scene.
After climbing over a mountain peak, in front of us is the valley of another mountain.
Passing through this valley, there is actually the peak of another mountain in front of us.
Being among the mountains, it was difficult to judge the "altitude" by feeling. Wei Changtian could only infer from the thinning air and the approaching clouds that their current location should be very high.
The golden sun is shining, and the thick snow refracts the sun's rays, creating a dazzling glow. It's like the mist of clouds reflecting the mountains on top of the snow-capped mountains, and you feel like you're up against the sky.
If it was in his previous life, or not long after he traveled through time, Wei Changtian might have admired the majesty of nature when he saw this scene.
However, he has seen too many magnificent scenery now, so it can be said that there is no wave in his heart at the moment.
In this way, the five people covered their heads and drove for a whole day. Not only did they not rest during this period, they did not even exchange a few words.
The weather is also beautiful. It was quiet and quiet throughout the day, and it was not until nightfall that heavy snow gradually began to fall all over the sky.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the snow turned from bright and clear to rough and dark.
The cold wind carried the snowflakes and covered the moon, but it could not cover the moonlight. It even gave people the illusion of being at dusk.
After walking for half an hour in the blizzard, everyone finally arrived at today's destination at midnight.
Tianshan Fairy Pond.
...
The clear lake reflects the white snow, and the moonlight is completely visible.
When the snow-capped mountain lake with billowing white mist appeared in front of them, the five of them decided to take a short rest by the lake and continue on their way after the snow became less intense.
Although the wind and snow would not affect their speed no matter how heavy they were, the heavy snow and darkness would interfere with their vision. If they continued walking, they would not get anywhere faster, so they might as well take a rest.
"Sir, I have reported to Mrs. Liang Qin that I am safe."
By the lake, Zhang San approached Wei Changtian who was sitting on a boulder and whispered: "Also, General Liang just sent a message saying that all the carefully crafted fate cards in the enemy's army have been shattered today."
"Um."
Looking ahead, Wei Changtian nodded slightly.
This situation was expected, so he was not surprised.
"Is there anything else?"
"have."
Zhang San continued: "General Liang also said that he will send a large number of scouts into the mountain tomorrow, and the scope of the investigation can span hundreds of miles from east to west."
"Hundreds of miles...a drop in the bucket."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Okay, you go and have a rest."
"yes."
"..."
After bowing, Zhang San quickly retreated and found a leeward place to sit cross-legged.
The wind and snow were too heavy, and there was no shelter. No one was in the mood to light a fire and cook. They all took a rest after taking a Bigu Pill just now.
Of course, you will definitely not be able to sleep in such an environment.
But they are all practitioners, and meditation can be regarded as rest, so now Zhang San and others are practicing with their eyes closed.
Wei Changtian looked back, and then turned his attention to the large lake in front of him.
The water surface is wide, almost the size of a dozen football fields, and the lake water is very clear.
If it hadn't been windy now, I would have been able to see the bottom of the lake at a glance.
When I traveled to Tianchi in my previous life, the tour guide said that the reason why Xueshan Lake did not freeze was because there was a volcanic crater underneath, and geothermal heat caused the water temperature to be stable.
To put it bluntly, it’s just a hot spring.
I wonder if this is the reason why this "fairy pond" does not freeze all year round...
Wei Changtian thought for a while and had no idea of going to a hot spring. He quickly closed his eyes and entered the dream path to continue practicing his Falling Sky Sword.
The light of the lake and the heavy snow are harmonious, and the ripples in the wind are not yet polished.
Looking at the fairy pond reflecting the skylight, the white jade plate contains the stars.
Fairy pond, wind and snow, starlight, reflection...
Different from Wei Changtian and the other four, Yang Liushi, who was also sitting by the lake, didn't need to practice, and just looked at the scenery silently, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
She was born in Shiwanda Mountain, which is humid and hot all year round. Not to mention the snow-capped mountains, she had never seen even one snow before she transformed.
Although he later transformed into a human being and went to the capital under Qingxian's orders, he could see a few heavy or light snowfalls every winter, but it was nothing like this.
So now that I see this miraculous scene, Yang Liushi naturally finds it interesting.
However, after watching it for a while, the feelings in her heart gradually faded away. She was bored, so she took out the white ball again.
The moonlight fell on the smooth bead surface, reflecting a slight fluorescence, which was then covered by the falling snow.
Yangliu Shi read it over and over for a while, and felt that this thing should not be simple, but he didn't know why it was not simple.
I can only say that this thing has a very weak attraction, as if it is attracting me.
But this feeling is very weak, and you can hardly notice it unless you feel it specially.
"what is it......"
After muttering softly, Yang Liushi gently wiped the snow off the round beads and prepared to ask Qingxian after returning to Shuzhou.
However, at this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the fairy pond in front of them, and Wei Changtian and four others opened their eyes at the same time.
"Crash!!!"
Wherever the five people looked, the lake surface suddenly began to surge violently, and the originally calm lake water turned into waves and rolled towards the shore.
The big wave jumped into the sky and shattered the silver mountain into snow flakes.
The accident happened so suddenly that the expressions of everyone on the shore became extremely serious, and their eyes were fixed on the increasingly violent churning of the lake.
In fact, if the fairy pool is reduced, this is a very common scene.
After all, this is how people look when they come out of the tub after taking a bath.
But compared to the beauty emerging from the bath, what is about to emerge from the fairy pool is obviously much larger...
"boom!!!"
The sound of the waves turned into a loud noise that echoed among the mountain peaks, and the water in the center of the Fairy Pond bulged significantly, gradually revealing the appearance of the giant thing at the bottom of the pond.
Sharp claws, white feathers, red scales...
"Canglang!"
"Canglanglang!!"
Wei Changtian, Zhang San, Lu Huang, and Huang Sheng drew their swords out of their sheaths almost at the same time, their faces gloomy, but they did not take a step back.
"Bang!! Bang bang bang!!"
Wave after wave of lake water several feet high hit the shield wall made of zhenqi, turning into rain and pouring down from the sky.
"Qiang!!!"
After a few breaths, with a scream that sounded like sword blades intersecting, it suddenly exploded in the night sky. The huge monster coiled at the bottom of the lake suddenly broke away from the lake and finally appeared in front of the five people.
Looking at this thing in front of him, Wei Changtian's pupils suddenly shrank and his breathing stopped for a beat.
The reactions of others were even worse.
The five people began to guess what the monster living at the bottom of the lake was from the moment the vision suddenly appeared.
With such a body shape, it is most likely that it is a fish demon with profound spiritual knowledge, or something like a water snake or a turtle.
But what appears in front of you at this moment is the most unlikely monster hiding in the water.
It has feathers, wings, a sharp beak and sharp claws.
This is clearly a bird!
And let’s not talk about why such a giant bird lives in the freezing fairy pond. Just the appearance of this bird...
