Regarding whether Lu Yaoming deliberately concealed the matter, Chen Yongnuo and the other four people all tacitly ignored it for the time being.
The matter of spiritual veins may be one of the clues. Before the matter comes to light, everyone agrees that the priority is to solve the problem for the time being, and it will not be too late to investigate later.
After Lu Yaoming told this matter, he was completely relieved. He felt guilty, especially for Zhen Qinglin, so he carefully recalled some details and laid out everything.
After a night of silence, the four of them took a short rest, left Canglang Water Mansion, took the third-order spirit shuttle, and arrived above Dongming Lake.
They inspected Dongming Lake in the air, and indeed, as Lu Yaoming said, everywhere they saw were stones, and the farther toward the center of the lake, the thicker the stacked stones became.
Zhen Qinglin took out a third-order flying sword and stabbed it hard into the thickest part of the stone. He heard the sound of gold and stone clashing, leaving only a white mark on the stone.
Such a result made Zhen Qinglin a little embarrassed. These stones looked like ordinary stones that could be seen everywhere, and they were not that kind of ore. They contained gold, stone, iron essence and other hardware materials. They could actually withstand the three-pointer in his hand.
Flying sword.
He seemed to be excited by this result, and he tried it in several different places, but the result was still the same.
Finally, they had to stop and discuss countermeasures.
"What do you think?" Zhen Qinglin put away the third-order flying sword and held a breath in his heart.
"This place is very evil. I think things are definitely not simple." At this time, Zhang Zhiqing interjected.
Ever since he came here, the little treasures in his spirit animal bag have been in trouble. They have always been very well-behaved and obedient, otherwise Zhang Zifang would not have brought them out.
"I think we still have to find out what's going on under the land!" Chen Yongnuo also thinks this place is weird. He always feels that this land is like a shield. Maybe the situation under the land will be the same as here.
Completely different.
"Then let's split up and try not to be too far apart." Zhen Qinglin ordered. They could only find a relatively less thick part of the lake first and try to drill a few holes.
Dongming Lake is smaller than Canglang Lake, with a radius of about two hundred miles. In order to find the weak points of the entire lake as soon as possible, the four people can only move separately. The entire lake is deserted, so there is no need to worry about being ambushed.
Except for Zhang Zhiqing who rode a second-level blue bird, the other three people each controlled the light of their swords and walked around.
Finally, after some exploration, they found that the weakest point on the lake was on the shore near Canglang Lake.
The four of them gathered together again. Zhen Qinglin still used his third-level flying sword. After a few "swish, swish, swish" strikes, a big hole appeared in front of them. The stone powder he had punctured was placed aside.
.
Chen Yongnuo squatted down and used a black jade hook to scratch the powder twice. The powder was mostly black and red, and when he smelled it carefully, it seemed to have a fishy smell.
Through the big hole, they could see that there was indeed a lake under the rocks. Dongming Lake did not disappear, but was buried under the rocks.
Looking down from above, the lake water is not crystal clear, but has a dead and withered color, as if it has been abandoned for a long time. However, according to Lu Yaoming, Dongming Lake has only been restored in the past two years.
It became like this.
It seems that something did happen in Dongming Lake. If you want to study more carefully, you can only find some clues by going into the lake yourself.
"You guys wait here, I'll go down and take a look first." After Zhen Qinglin finished speaking, he made a gesture of jumping down. He has the highest cultivation level, the deepest knowledge, and the strongest strength among the four. In this situation, he can only take action personally.
.
"Wait, let me go down with you!" Chen Yongnuo caught Zhen Qinglin in time. When he went out this time, he also brought a water-proof bead, which came in handy.
"I'll go down too."
"Count me in."
Song Yiwei and Zhang Zifeng also expressed their opinions one after another. They also wanted to accompany him. They just don't like to talk, it's not that they can't see the situation clearly.
Everyone can see that there is something strange in the lake. Although the lake is definitely more dangerous than the shore, but now that it is here, there is no way to shrink back from fear of danger.
Moreover, they also think very highly of themselves. Everyone has some means of saving their lives, and since they are all going out for the first time, they just want to see more.
Zhen Qinglin originally didn't want them to be in danger. He brought them out, so he had to be responsible for taking them back one by one. However, since they insisted on acting together, they still had to formulate an action plan.
After some discussion among several people, Zhen Qinglin decided that the four of them would go down to the bottom of the lake together. The entire lake was so smooth that it was really impossible to glean any useful information, so they had to take a risk and go into the water.
However, they made some arrangements for the four people. The four people were divided into two groups, one in the light and the other in the dark. Zhen Qinglin and Chen Yongnuo were in the light, and Song Yiwei and Zhang Zhili were in the dark. The four of them cooperated with each other, even if there was an unexpected incident.
When something happens, they can also help each other, so that they don't catch everyone in one go.
Song Yiwei's sword flashed and she disappeared completely. Even if Chen Yongnuo looked over with his spiritual eyes, he could not find any trace of her.
Zhang Zongzhi released a small butterfly from nowhere. After the butterfly flew around his head, it landed on his shoulder. He disappeared immediately and disappeared.
Wonderful, not inferior to Song Yiwei.
After Zhen Qinglin saw that they were ready, he jumped out of the big hole and dived into the water. He had practiced the art of water escape, so he could move freely in the water without borrowing magic weapons or talismans.
Chen Yongnuo could only take out the water-avoiding beads, cast a spiritual light, and followed Zhen Qinglin closely.
At the same time, behind him, there were Song Yiwei and Zhang Zhijie, but they were invisible, and they seemed to have some means of avoiding water and sneaking.
The four of them swam at the bottom of the lake, and their speed was not slow.
As they walked along, Dongming Lake turned into a pool of stagnant water. There were no fish or shrimps at all. Even the water plants were mostly dead and rotten. Once they touched it, they all turned into ashes.
Moreover, there is no spiritual energy in the lake. As Lu Yaoming confessed frankly, there is a spiritual vein in Dongming Lake. It is clearly a place of extraordinary spirits.
What's even more frightening is that as they walked toward the center of the lake, the feeling of deathly silence became more and more obvious, making people feel uncontrollably panicked.
Not long after they left, the big hole they originally dug was intact again, as if nothing had happened just now.
