Li Ming climbed up the rock and stood next to Zan Yue Mulan, looking curiously at this mysterious lake.
The blue lake surface was originally like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the sky, but at this time there was a constant breeze blowing, the lake surface was sparkling, and the golden sunlight shone, turning it into a gorgeous scene of late golden light.
"Young Master Hong, you should have explored the bottom of the lake. What is the situation?" Li Ming asked.
"The lake is very deep, and depending on our diving capabilities, as long as it drops below 100 meters, the system will issue a warning," Tian Xinhong said.
"Is it a safety warning?" Zangyue Mulan asked.
"Yes, the bottom of the 100-meter lake is already the limit for players in the virtual world. If you go further down, there will be a mandatory warning countdown. If you have not returned to the safe area after 10 seconds, you will be judged to be dead immediately by the system!"
Tian Xinhong said.
"But the bottom of the lake will never be lower than 100 meters deep, right?" Li Ming asked.
"Yes, the bottom of this lake is like a bottomless pit. The shallowest part of the lake is only 3 meters deep, but 5 meters ahead is a steep slope, and the depth below is more than 100 meters!" Tian Xinhong nodded.
"No way. If you put it this way, exploring the bottom of the lake is simply not feasible!" Zangyue Mulan said in surprise.
"Boss Mulan, don't worry, my people have been studying this lake. The weirder the terrain, the more hidden something is inside. After careful study, our people found that if we want to dive deeper into the lake bottom, we can only use this
A strange monster in the lake." Tian Xinhong smiled and stretched out his hand, taking out a strange prop from a player beside him.
This is a white bulging skin bag, as if it is filled with something, and the bulging looks very strange.
"Is this a balloon? How does it look like an oblate shape?" Zangetsu Xinqing asked curiously.
"Beauty Qing is half right. This is a prop that explodes after being killed by a strange fish at the bottom of the lake. It's called a bubble swim bladder. It's a one-time consumption prop." Tian Xinhong replied with a smile.
"It's just a fish bubble. It's really strange that it can explode after killing a strange fish." Zangyue Mulan said in surprise.
"Inflatable fish bladder, a one-time consumption prop... Could this be a system-specific prop for diving into deep lakes?" Li Ming's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.
"Brother understands the fastest reaction. This is after entering the bottom of the lake, as long as the system warning appears, a swim bladder can last for ten minutes to continue diving. However, the strange fish is fierce and the chance of exploding the swim bladder is too low, so during this time we
People have been trying to kill the strange fish, collect as many of these fish bladders as possible, and have been waiting for the opportunity to sneak into the bottom of the lake to check the situation." Tian Xinhong nodded and said.
"I can't stand your secretive methods the most. Now that you have thought of a way, just tell me as soon as possible." Zangyue Mulan snorted coldly.
"This..." Tian Xinhong was speechless.
"How many swim bladders has Mr. Hong prepared now?" Li Ming asked excitedly.
Now that we have found a way to sneak into the bottom of the lake, let’s see how the Tianxin League’s preparations progress...
"Fortunately, the brothers have worked hard in the past three days and have collected 54 swim bladders. If the number of people is smaller, it should be no problem to enter the bottom of the lake." Tian Xinhong said with a smile.
It took three days to prepare 54 fish maws, which shows how rare the chance of this item being exploded is.
Li Ming was very satisfied. At least this would allow him to find out the secrets at the bottom of the lake as soon as possible.
"If I hadn't wanted to explore the bottom of the lake this time, I wouldn't have been willing to take it out for everyone to use." Tian Xinhong glanced at Zangyue Mulan, and the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.
"Then thank you Grand Guild Master." Zangyue Mulan said with a cold snort.
"The number of fish bladders is limited. In order to ensure that they can enter the bottom of the lake, the number of people entering this time must be as small as possible." Li Ming thought.
"Okay, just the three of us will go down and take a look first." Zangyue Mulan said simply.
"Three people... Okay, each of you will take 18. Remember, you must wait until the system warning appears before you can use it to avoid wasting it." Tian Xinhong immediately took all the consumable props from the players around him and issued a message to the two of them.
Transaction application.
"Okay, don't be nagging. Let's go down early and check out the situation." Zangyue Mulan said calmly.
Tian Xinhong had been enduring her cynicism, which made Li Ming even more interested in the historical grudges between the two guilds.
After accepting the transaction application, 19 fish bladders entered his package. It seemed that the number was one more, but looking at Tian Xinhong's dark eyes, he stopped raising questions.
"Alright, you guys stay on guard here. The three of us will dive down first to see what's going on at the bottom of the lake." Cangyue Mulan waved her hand, asking all the Cangyue Tower players to wait on the spot.
"Be careful, the strange fish at the bottom of the lake are very fierce. The chance of us jumping from here to encounter them is very small, but we may also be discovered by them. Once targeted by the strange fish, we can only get rid of them by continuing to dive into the depths of the lake.
!" Tian Xinhong finally reminded.
"I know, get ready to take action." Li Ming nodded and replied.
The three people stood on the rock, took a deep breath, and then jumped forward together...
Plop!
Three water columns flew up in succession, and the three people disappeared into the surging water and never floated again...
Gululu!
There were bubbles flying at the bottom of the lake. As soon as I jumped into the lake, the surrounding environment was still very clear. I could see Tian Xinhong and Zhan Yue Mulan swimming down beside me.
Li Ming also quickly held his breath and continued to swim headfirst into the depths of the lake.
Slowly, the sunlight became farther and farther away, and the bottom of the lake became peaceful.
But the bottom of the lake is still bottomless, and it has turned into an inky black patch dozens of meters away.
At this time, Li Ming was surprised to find that Tian Xinhong took out a crystal that glowed yellow in his hand. It seemed to be the luminous stone on the stone wall seen in the underground palace. Unexpectedly, he actually got one for lighting at the bottom of the lake.
This guild leader is really powerful, he can think of such methods.
With this yellow crystal stone, a yellow halo can always be seen flickering in the increasingly dark lake water.
Li Ming and Zhan Yue Mulan followed closely behind him, swimming towards the deeper bottom of the lake together...
Soon, the three people quickly swam to a depth of nearly 100 meters. The sunlight could no longer shine in, leaving only the dark bottom of the lake, which was as dark as night. There was also this group of yellow light that could illuminate the surrounding environment within ten meters.
Players enjoy diving in the virtual world more powerfully than in the real world. In reality, they cannot hold their breath for more than a few minutes, but in the virtual world, this function has been strengthened at least three times.
However, in order to ensure the safety of players, the system has specially set up some mandatory precautions to avoid accidents.
When I dived to a depth of 100 meters, the bottom of the lake was still pitch black, and I didn’t know how deep it was.
Ding... the system "warning! Players clearly understand that you have exceeded the system's limited sneak distance. Please return immediately. If you are not in a safe area after the 10-second countdown, the system force system will start immediately, and your character will also immediately
Death, all consequences are your own responsibility!
…
Whoosh!
White light flashes, and red numbers with a 10-second countdown warning appear in front of you.
"Use the props quickly!" Tian Xinhong's warning voice sounded in the team channel.
Although it is in a diving state, it does not affect the players' team communication, but it is already impossible to speak on the public channel.
Just as Tian Xinhong issued the warning, Li Ming was horrified to find that there seemed to be several huge black figures rushing towards the three of them in the dim lake...
The strange fish at the bottom of the lake finally discovered them!
