Xiao Feng inserted two fingers into the water, stirred gently, then pulled it out, put it next to his nose and sniffed it, and his face changed instantly.

Sure enough, the water contained a highly toxic substance similar to snake venom!

This can completely explain why the villagers will be poisoned when they drink the water here, but what kind of poison is it? Is it man-made or is there another reason, Xiao Feng fell into thought.

However, he first ruled out the possibility of artificial poisoning, and it is estimated that no one will be bored enough to poison in this desolate deep waterhole, and if it is said that it is important to harm the villagers, it is not better to poison directly at the source of the village's draft.

Then there is only one possibility, and it is a problem of the place itself.

Walking slowly on the shore, Xiao Feng carefully observed the environment here, Zhong Lingyu was beautiful, and even the aura was much more abundant than other places, which made Xiao Feng a little surprised.

The whole lake is cut by the cliff wall, and the bottom of the cliff is submerged under the lake, and there are many tall trees that drill out of the bottom of the water, which is lush and green, and is as high as dozens of zhang.

In the middle of the lake, there is also a small island in the middle of the lake with a diameter of about 20 meters, but it is covered with dense reeds, and it is difficult to see the situation inside.

Regarding why this lake is called Black Dragon Pond, Xiao Feng heard Gu Youquan say a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation in the village.

It is said that this place used to be flat, but one day a black dragon was knocked down to the mortal world, and a lake was smashed out here, and the island in the center of the lake was transformed by the eyes of the black dragon, so it was also a local taboo, and no one dared to go up. Of course, such a legend must have been made up by man, and Xiao Feng would definitely not believe it.

In the past, some villagers said that they would see the shadow of the black dragon here at night, which was very large, but no one had ever seen it during the day, and it was not until last month that the villagers were poisoned that there was a rumor that someone saw the black dragon during the day.

Xiao Feng spent more than half an hour walking around the shore of the lake opposite the rock wall, but he found nothing except dense weeds, and the entire lake was also very calm, which made him a little surprised, could it really be that he was thinking too much?

It's better to go to the island in the center of the lake to have a look, if there is no harvest, he will consider going back, and the big deal is to let the villagers no longer have water with the Black Dragon Pond in the future.

Xiao Feng visually measured the distance between the shore of the lake and the island in the middle of the lake, there were about thirty meters, it was not easy to rely on his current strength alone, at least with the help of some external force or tools.

You must know that a martial artist of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm can leap nearly ten meters with all his strength, but thirty meters will definitely not reach it.

"What should I do?"

Xiao Feng muttered to himself in his heart, and his eyes were also looking around, looking for everything that could be used. But when he searched for it, he found nothing but reeds on the shore here.

By the way, reeds are also buoyant, as long as there are enough of them.

A thought popped up in Xiao Feng's head, the goddess once said to him that when you are facing a desperate situation, everything around you can become a tool for you to achieve your goals.

With a smile on his face, he pulled out a scimitar specially prepared for him by Gu Youquan from his back, this kind of scimitar is different from the sickle used to cut rice, it is much longer than that, and the back of the knife is thicker, and the blade is sharper, not only can it be used for cutting, but also for cutting, it is a common tool used by mountain people.

Xiao Feng quickly brandished his scimitar, and soon a large piece of reeds was cut down, spreading a thick layer on the ground.

Since there was no rope, he had to cross the reed poles and pull the rhizomes and vines of some plants to make a simple tie, which was not found in the mountains, but there were many of them.

In less than twenty minutes, there was a cyan reed mat in front of Xiao Feng's eyes, and the thick layers were about ten centimeters, Xiao Feng clapped his hands, pinned the scimitar behind him, and was done.

I pressed it with my hand, it was quite strong, I jumped up again, stepped on it, and there was some toughness, although it should leak, but it didn't affect it, and it should be able to hold up until I landed on the island.

Xiao Feng found a long pine stick as a paddling tool, and then slowly pushed the reed mat into the water.

He stood up very lightly, instead of jumping, after all, in the water, as a professional old driver, the car has not overturned, and the boat cannot capsize.

After bearing Xiao Feng's weight, the reed pad was a few centimeters deeper, and Xiao Feng hurriedly supported the wooden stick to keep the simple boat out of the water, otherwise the boat would sink before it arrived.

But after walking for a while, Xiao Feng had already seen a few wisps of water splashing in from the bottom of the reed mat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that he did have the possibility of capsizing.

Approaching the island in the middle of the lake little by little, Xiao Feng was a little surprised, because he found that the closer he got to the island, the more intense the aura around the lake became, what was going on?

Curiosity drove him to speed up, but more and more water seeped into the reed pad, and Xiao Feng's soles had already touched a layer of splash.

Finally, there was still a distance of about ten meters, Xiao Feng stepped on the reed mat hard, and flew towards the island, and the reed mat also completed his last mission and slowly sank to the deep bottom.

"Phew"

As soon as he landed on the shore, Xiao Feng kept spitting, because this small island was full of weeds and reeds, and when he landed, the huge gravity shook the chaotic reed flowers, and some flew into his mouth.

These flying wool made Xiao Feng feel very unhappy, and gathered qi to directly shake them away.

The weeds on this small island in the middle of the lake were even more lush than those on the shore of the lake, and it was obvious that almost no one had come, and Xiao Feng was moving very slowly.

Suddenly, he saw a trail in the grass that spread deeper into the island, and this trace was like a ravine, about five meters in diameter, which collapsed the grass very clearly.

Xiao Feng was shocked, where did this trace come from?

Black Dragon!

The word popped into his mind for the first time, because he couldn't think of anything other than the legendary giant beast of prey, the dragon, that could leave such a stretch and a huge trace.

Is there really a dragon?" he asked himself.

After a long time, he shook his head, no matter what it was, if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would just follow and see.

Although he made such a bold decision, Xiao Feng still raised his vigilance, he walked very slowly, first, the weeds were very deep, and he didn't know if it was the ground when he stepped into it, and secondly, he had to observe his feet and surroundings in case of accidents.

After walking for a few minutes, Xiao Feng suddenly smelled a strange "hiss" sound in the air, and subconsciously turned his head to look back.

And he was startled at this time, only to see that the grass behind him was densely packed with snakes of various colors, and the whole ground was spread in several layers.

"Damn! This stabbed the snake's nest!"

Xiao Feng's expression changed, and he saw that the longest of these snakes could reach more than three meters, and the smallest was only less than ten centimeters, and they all raised their heads and spit out bright red snake hyacinths, which made Xiao Feng's scalp numb.

But he knew that this was not the time to be stunned, these snakes with their heads raised had the feeling of pounce at any moment, and this place was overgrown with weeds and had poor vision, which was obviously not a good place to fight.

Xiao Feng rushed forward with a brisk step, the speed was extremely fast, and sure enough, the moment he ran, dozens of snakes bounced up and fell to the place where he was standing before, although they pounced, but those snakes were even more irritable, and they quickly twisted their bodies and chased after them.

Nima!

Xiao Feng cursed in his heart, this group of snakes was running fast, and they were coming from all directions, and soon there were many snakes waiting for him in the direction in front of him.

Before he had time to think, he directly released his true qi, forming a protective body qi outside his body, and many snakes pounced, but they all hit the gang qi wall and bounced down on the grass, and soon the gang qi wall was coated with a layer of yellow venom, which was a little disgusting, but he was never able to enter the gang qi wall.

"Heh, sample, fight with me!"

Xiao Feng had a mocking smile on his face, snakes are just animals after all, and he is a martial artist, the two are not the same.

But soon he couldn't laugh, only to see that although those snakes couldn't get in, they began to wrap around Xiao Feng's protective qi, at first it was okay, only one or two, but more and more snakes began to wind up, and the entire transparent wall of Gangqi was full of dense snakes, and Xiao Feng was furious when he saw it.

After running for a few more minutes, the weeds in front of me slowly disappeared, and some were many large, bare and irregular stones, covered with cyan moss, and the obvious grass had disappeared from the stones for a long time.

Xiao Feng felt that something was wrong, his eyes looked into the distance, and he saw a green blackened grass growing between the gaps of the highest stone in front of him, with only two leaves, but it was very thick, hanging down to both sides, but the grass heart in the middle was goose yellow, and the rich aura emanated from this grass.

it! How is it! Xiao Feng was shocked.
