At this moment, the two of them had walked three or four meters, and the lake water was not at their chests. Huangpu Gang turned to Qin Feng and said, "Follow me later. Once these water plants get entangled with you, it will be very troublesome!"
"
"Isn't it just some water plants? What trouble will it cause?"
Qin Feng asked with some confusion. With his cultivation as a martial artist, if he could use his true energy to turn his breathing from outside to inside, he wouldn't need to come up to breathe air for several hours. This time would be enough for him to clean up those water plants.
"This aquatic plant is different from ordinary aquatic plants."
Huang Pu Gang gave a bitter laugh, and submerged his body into the water. After a while, he emerged from the water with a large handful of water plants in his hand, handed it to Qin Feng and said, "Come and try..."
Qin Feng took the handful of waterweed and pulled hard with both hands. To his surprise, the waterweed was not torn apart by him, but stretched a lot as if it was resilient.
You know, with Qin Feng's current level of cultivation, the force of this casual tug is enough to weigh over a thousand kilograms. Not to mention water plants, even a steel bar will be broken from it.
"So weird?" Qin Feng gradually increased the force on his hand. It was only when he had used seven or eight percent of his strength that the waterweed was pulled off from the middle.
"Damn it, if you really get entangled in the water, it would be really troublesome!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Even if he was a martial artist, if he was entangled under the water where he couldn't borrow his strength, he would probably have to go through a lot of trouble to escape.
As for ordinary people, if they are entangled in this kind of waterweed, they will die or not, and they can only turn into an innocent soul in the water.
"Just follow me and I won't be in any way."
Seeing the change of color on Qin Feng's face, Huangpu Gang smiled and said: "In this lake, I don't know how many people from the four major clans died. There are several Huajin warriors alone, and it is considered a natural place."
barrier..."
After telling Qin Feng, Huangpu Gang plunged into the water with a sudden movement. Qin Feng behind him did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed him downstream.
The water of the lake is very clear, and you can clearly see it seven or eight meters down. There are many fish swimming in it, but the water plants are floating in the water. The longest one is more than ten meters long, which looks quite scary.
However, Huang Pu Gang had grown up here since he was a child and knew the situation in the water very well. He led Qin Feng through the patches of water plants without touching any of them.
After going downstream for more than ten meters, the water pressure gradually appeared, but this little pressure had no impact on Qin Feng, who had been sucked into the deep sea.
Thick water plants have blocked most of the sunlight. If Qin Feng hadn't been able to lock Huangpu Gang with his spiritual consciousness, he might have had to rely entirely on the rope in his hand.
Just when no more light could shine through the top of his head, Huangpu Gang flipped his wrist, and a pearl the size of a baby's fist appeared in his hand, and the surrounding area suddenly became much brighter.
"Most people really can't come to this kind of place!"
With that ray of light, Qin Feng could clearly see the situation around him. Around him, everything was covered with water plants extending from the bottom of the lake. The layers were stacked on top of each other, like a wall.
Qin Feng and Huang Pu Gang were currently walking between the two walls formed by aquatic plants. The width was only two or three meters at most. If they were not careful, they would swim into the middle of the aquatic plants.
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel frightened secretly. If he was really entangled by these water plants, even a powerful warrior would probably hate them.
As he continued to swim downward, Qin Feng also found a trace of fluorescence among some water plants. Looking carefully, he found some corpses. In a few minutes, Qin Feng saw no less than a hundred corpses.
"It's not like the four major clans didn't explore this lake back then!" Qin Feng knew that these bones should belong to people from the four major clans.
In fact, after occupying the capital of Qin, the warriors of the four major clans stationed here have never given up the exploration of this lake. However, the terrain in the water is too complicated. After losing several Huajin warriors in succession, they were helpless.
give up.
It's not like the four major clans haven't thought of digging ditches to divert the water away, but this lake is at the foot of the mountain, and water pours in from the top of the mountain every day. Unless they dig another lake with a radius of several kilometers, they will follow
There is no other way.
As the dive progresses, the water pressure gradually increases.
When they reached a depth of thirty or forty meters, Qin Feng's ears also felt a slight swelling. If it were Zhang Hu and Jin Xuan, they would be close to their limits.
"Master Qin Feng, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Huangpu Gang, who was swimming in front, paused for a moment, took out an air bag-like object from his arms, and said via voice: "Master Qin Feng, if you feel unwell, you can breathe the air in this air bag..."
"It doesn't matter, just lead the way."
Qin Feng waved his hand. Are you kidding? He has been sucked into the seabed thousands of meters deep. If it weren't for the surrounding aquatic plants, this depth would have no impact on him at all.
Huang Pu Gang nodded, put away the airbag, and then led Qin Feng through the underwater maze-like water plants.
At a depth of fifty meters, aquatic plants gradually became scarce, but the terrain at the bottom of the lake became extremely peculiar, with many places abruptly bulging upwards, and aquatic plants grew on these raised soil floors.
"If no one is taking him with him, even if he passes through the area of water plants, he will probably get lost down here, right?" The bulges everywhere formed a natural maze. Even with Qin Feng's cultivation level, he could not remember himself clearly.
The place I just visited.
At this time, he had reached the bottom of the lake and there was no need to dive any further. However, Qin Feng still followed Huang Pu Gang and swam for about five minutes before Huang Pu Gang in front stopped.
In front of Huangpu Gang, there was a dark cave at the bottom of the lake. After making a gesture to Qin Feng, Huangpu Gang went straight into it.
"Are those old royal ministers living in this cave?" Although Qin Feng had doubts in his heart, he still followed.
This cave is on a gentle slope, and the place you first enter is in the shape of a gourd's mouth. The entrance is very narrow, and only one or two people can pass through it, but the deeper you go inside, the more open it becomes.
After swimming about a hundred meters inside, the diameter of the cave had reached more than ten meters. At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly noticed a ray of light above his head.
"Huh? What's going on?" At the same time, Qin Feng's consciousness saw Huang Pu Gang standing upright in front of him, and he pulled the rope in his hand hard.
"This...how is this possible?"
After imitating Huang Pu Gang and standing up straight, Qin Feng discovered that only half of his body was still in the water, and the area above his chest was actually above the water.
"How...how can there be air in this 40 to 50 meter deep water bottom?" Qin Feng murmured.
"Master Qin Feng, this should not be the bottom of the lake anymore." After living in this place for more than forty years, Huangpu Gang naturally knows much more than Qin Feng.
"I understand. After entering the cave, the terrain has been slowly rising upwards. The place we are now may be above the water..."
Perhaps because he held his breath for too long, Qin Feng didn't think about this strange principle for a while, but he was a person living in the outside world after all, so he figured it out in the blink of an eye.
There are no such lake caves in the outside world. A British diver once discovered a strange terrain in the Red Sea.
The diver discovered a natural cave while diving along an underwater cave formed by an extinct volcano. Later, that place was developed into a holy diving place.
Qin Feng looked around. On the rock wall of this vast cave, every four or five meters, there was a fluorescent bright spot, which was inlaid with a luminous pearl.
"What a great gesture!"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng felt refreshed. He didn't feel any stuffiness in the cave, and he didn't know where the air came from.
"This place was not dug out by man."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Huangpu Gang smiled and said: "The eldest son of King Fusu was interested in exploring, but he accidentally discovered this place. After more than ten generations, he gradually transformed it into the King of Qin's.
A secret palace in the room...
It's just that only the core members of the royal family know about this matter. When the four major clans were in rebellion, Lao Wang only told this before his death, and my grandfather and the others were able to escape..."
Speaking of this incident, Huangpu Gang was also filled with regret. Back then, his grandfather Huangpu Wudi led nearly thirty Huajin warriors into the lake, and he also had the Night Pearl and the topographic map of the lake in his hand.
But even so, more than half of the twenty or thirty Huajin warriors still died on the way to explore, and only a few of them succeeded in escaping into the underground palace.
After hearing Huang Pu Gang's words, Qin Feng was silent for a while and said: "Let's go, take me to see your grandpa..."
"Master Qin Feng, follow me..." Huang Pu Gang nodded and walked in front.
After the two of them walked another forty or fifty meters, they were completely out of the water, and the ground was also very dry. The cave became more and more open, and the height above their heads had reached more than twenty meters.
"Lord Qin Feng, here we are!"
After reaching the deepest part of the cave, there was no road ahead, but Huangpu Gang stopped and reached out to tap the rock wall in front of him twelve times in succession.
"The back is empty, and the thickness is about two meters?" Qin Feng's ears were so good, he heard the difference behind the rock wall when the first knock sounded.
Of course, if Huangpu Gang didn't have the cultivation of turning energy, he wouldn't be able to make a sound from the two-meter-thick rock wall. Outsiders still wouldn't be able to tell any clues when they come here. (To be continued...
