Chapter Seventy-Three: Crossing the River

Shangguan Jing, who had not spoken much, walked over at this time, looked at the three people who were about to leave, and said, "Brother, I always feel that this lake is a little abnormal, it seems to be calm, but it seems to be hiding something, you should be careful."

Shangguan Ling said: "It's going to be fine, haven't we checked this water before, there is no problem, and we just test that we won't go too far." ”

Li Cai also comforted: "Sister Xiaojing, you can rest assured, we all have kitchen knives and weapons, don't you know the strength of a few of us, even if it comes out of the water with a demonic beast, we can solve it directly, and bring it back to you to make a beautiful bone chain as an ornament." ”

Qingxue smiled: "Well, you are amazing." As he spoke, he grabbed Shangguan Jing and said, "Xiao Jing is fine, although Li Cai likes to mess around, but what he said is right, and there are not so many of us to respond, I am afraid that they will suddenly disappear." ”

Shangguan Jing was also a lot relieved to listen to everyone's words, and with a smile, he watched Qian Shi, Shangguan Ling, and Li Cai step on the small raft and row towards the distance, and the calm water surface also rippled in circles, spreading into the distance, and the raft slowly floated.

Qian Shi was gently paddling with wood pulp at the front, and Shangguan Ling and Li Cai were on both sides, grasping the direction and paying attention to the surrounding situation, this raft was made of two big trees and some vines, although it was not very strong, but it was no problem to ride the three of them on this peaceful lake.

Looking at the clear and turquoise water, the three of them are a little intoxicated, this is indeed very beautiful, especially after moving away from the shore, it is like moving forward on a mirror made of green crystal, the reflection is clearly visible on the water surface, and the white clouds in the sky are also reflected, gently fluttering, melodious and profound.

The small raft carried the three of them straight forward, and Qian Shi's purpose was also to see if there was a place to land ahead, if there was a large area of land, it meant that the route was correct, even if there were lakes and rivers, they could also row through this method to the direction of Dragon Bone Mountain.

The small raft is very light, and after the control of several people, the speed is also very fast, a slight slide will sweep forward a long way, just a few people will row out a hundred zhang of distance, the camp on the shore is also smaller, farther and farther away, Qian Shi has been looking forward, wanting to find some clues.

Li Cai said: "I don't know how this place was formed, it is not the sea to say that it is not it, but it is so big, and there are rivers extending in all directions in the distance, it is really strange." ”

Shangguan Ling said with a smile while paddling in the water: "There are many strange places on the Tianhua Continent, it is normal for this place to be a little strange when it is close to Dragon Bone Mountain, and when you enter Dragon Bone Mountain, you don't know what you will encounter." ”

Li Cai said: "Yes, and we don't know what Feng Lingguo is now, and that illustrated book is too simple, only a general appearance, not even a word of description." ”

Qian Shi listened to the words of the two of them and said: "Since it is not an ordinary ingredient, of course it is not easy to find, I look at the marks on the map, it seems that there is an ancient aboriginal tribe at the foot of the Dragon Bone Mountain, and it is very mysterious to have a thousand-year-old inheritance, but I don't know if it is still there, although the specific location is not detailed, but we can still look for it, maybe there will be clues to our mission." ”

Shangguan Ling said: "Yes, the people who can live here for thousands of years must not be simple, even if they are gone, we should be able to find some ruins." ”

As he was talking, Li Cai suddenly shouted: "Hey, look, is there land ahead!"

When Qian Shiyan heard this, he immediately put down the wood pulp in his hand and looked forward, at this time they were already hundreds of zhang away from the shore, although the front was a little blurry and the vision was not good, but the land and some plants could still be faintly seen, and it was no longer a large area of lakes and rivers extending forward.

Shangguan Ling said with a happy face: "Sure enough, I'll just say, how can this be an endless lake, although it is still a little far, but looking at this distance, it only takes half an hour to reach that place." ”

Qian Shi nodded and said: "Yes, so we also have the bottom in our hearts, it's much better than being trapped on the shore, now that it's starting to get dark, let's turn back first, tomorrow we will ask everyone to make some large rafts, let's cross the river together, today is already a day of delay." ”

Li Cai and Shangguan Ling also agreed, turned around, and the three of them rowed a small raft towards the direction of the camp, with an understanding of the environment, the speed of going back was also a lot faster, not as careful as when they came, several wood pulp at the same time, this raft was like a fragmented arrow, rushing forward.

Li Cai paddled and suddenly wondered: "This water area is so big, the water quality is even better, green and clear, there are also a lot of algae plants on the shore, and the growth is extremely fat, but why don't you see any fish in this big lake, not even small aquatic creatures." ”

Listening to Li Cai's words, Qian Shi also suddenly woke up, before coming to this lake, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what it was, at this moment after listening to Li Cai's words, he finally found the problem, this is too quiet, even a little wind is no, like a dead pool, it stands to reason that this place should be rich in products and schools of fish.

Qian Shi stopped the wood pulp in his hand and looked around: "Li Cai, you are right, this is indeed a bit unreasonable. ”

Shangguan Ling said: "Could it be that you are too careful, it is normal that some lake water may not be suitable for some fish, and haven't you verified this water, there is no problem, Sun Jiuwei has also drunk a lot, simply talking about water quality, I really have never seen such a good one, and it is the best choice for making food." As he spoke, he also put his hand into the lake, stirred it a few times, and then came up with some water for Qian Shi and Li Cai to see.

But Li Cai suddenly said: "Eh, just now, what was that just now!"

Shangguan Ling was taken aback by Li Cai's sudden reaction, and spread the lake water in his hand and said, "Li Cai, what's wrong with you, didn't I just stir the lake water just now, there is nothing." ”

Qian Shi had been looking around, but he didn't notice anything, and at this moment he turned his head to look at Li Cai and said, "Well, what's the matter, what did you see, such a jackpot monster?"

Li Cai said: "When Shangguan Ling turned around with some lake water just now, something seemed to swim over in that position, the speed was too fast, I didn't see it clearly, it seemed to be a very big black shadow." ”

Shangguan Ling was still a little puzzled, turned around and looked into the water again, but there was nothing, the lake was as calm as ever, and said puzzledly: "Li Cai, are you mistaken, just now it was just the ripples I stirred up the lake, maybe there happened to be a fish swimming over." ”

Qian Shi frowned and said, "Shangguan, it may not be what you think, this lake is indeed a bit strange, let's hurry back to the camp on the shore." Although Qian Shi didn't find anything, for some reason an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable, and all kinds of signs indicated that there was something wrong with this place.

Shangguan Ling looked at Li Cai who was still a little frightened, Qian Shi's serious expression was also tight, maybe it was really because he thought about things too simply, held the wood pulp in his hand and said: "Then let's go back first, it's not far from the shore now." ”

"Let's go!" Qian Shi said and sat back in his place.

At this time, the three of them didn't dare to slack off, they all rowed the raft with all their might, and a few people who were busy could already be seen on the shore, and a bonfire was also raised, and Qingxue and Shangguan Jing were still waving at them.

But just as they continued to paddle the raft forward, a huge black shadow swept from below them, the size of a house, swaying from side to side, shaking a few times before disappearing, and now the three of them could see it clearly! It was a whale-like creature, with a huge head, and obvious fins and tails, but the shape was a little strange, like sharp claws sticking out, and there were long spines like barbs behind the tail!

"Go, go, go! This is a demonic beast, and it's definitely not an ordinary low-level!" Qian Shi shouted, and then sped up the speed of his hand again.

Li Cai also shouted at this time: "It's behind! It seems to be attacking us!"

As soon as Li Cai's words fell, a thunderous roar also came, the huge black shadow, poked out half of its head, pitch black and round, a pair of blood-red eyes like lanterns, I don't know what was growing on the top of my head, a bulge, sharp fangs in the mouth, and a tongue sticking out, slimy, it was hard to imagine that it was a whale!

Then the entire huge head invaded the lake again, and then it also brought a huge wave towards the three of Qian Shi, and at the same time, a long and powerful tail also slapped over!

Even if the three of them rowed fast, it was not as fast as this monster, and he was the overlord of the lake, and he overturned their raft with a few casual flips, and several people all fell into the lake unsuspectingly, Qian Shi controlled his body and shouted: "Swim to the shore quickly, let's separate and don't be attacked by him!"

Before he could hear what Shangguan Ling and Li Cai said, Qian Shi was swept into the lake by a wave again, and he showed his head again and held his breath, Qian Shi latent into the water and swam to the side, at this time the monster overturned the raft and was attacking Qian Shi in the center.

Seeing this, Qian Shi hurriedly lowered his body a few more points, and then the kitchen knife Shen Yuan made a move, mobilized his mental power, his wrist trembled, and he slashed out with a hidden knife technique, since he changed the kitchen knife, this was the first time he shot with all his strength, although there was the resistance of the lake, but the light brought by the hidden knife technique still quickly hit the monster's head!
