Several other people also understood what Qian Shi said, after the confrontation in the past three days, everyone understood the seriousness of the matter, and it was indeed time to make a choice today, Li Caiyi said: "Then I'll make a statement first, I suggest going to fight the demon whale to live and die, can we still be forced to retreat by this kind of demon whale, we are chefs, and we will have to face more powerful demon prey in the future." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Listening to Li Cai's words, the remaining few people looked at each other, and they didn't know whether they wanted to exchange opinions or see other people's opinions, Shangguan Ling then said: "I have different ideas from Li Cai, we can choose to detour, this time it is mainly about the experience task, not to capture the ingredients, bypassing can avoid damage, and I don't know what to experience in the subsequent tasks, so the safety of personnel is the most important." ”

And Shangguan Jing, who was beside Shangguan Ling, also expressed his opinion, the same as his brother, and chose the proposal of a detour, after all, this is a completely avoidable battle.

Qian Shi looked at everyone and nodded: "Well, we need everyone's opinions now, everyone's attitude will determine the direction of our next journey, fatty, you can also tell us what you think." ”

When Sun Jiuwei heard this, he scratched his head, and stood on Shangguan Ling's side, thinking that it was better to take a detour, while Qingxue and Zhao Yiman expressed their support for the proposal to cross the river and stood on Li Cai's side.

Qian Shi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect everyone's thoughts to be completely different, he looked at Bai Yiyi and said: "Yiyi, you say it first, what is your opinion, don't worry about my thoughts, you just say it." ”

Bai Yiyi looked at the lake, and after a while, he said slowly: "If we talk about combat power alone, we will absolutely suppress the Thunder Demon Whale, but in the water it is different, one side will lose the other, and we have not fought with it with all our strength, no one knows how much strength it hides, it may not be easy to kill it, it is difficult for us to retreat, so I chose the first plan to detour." ”

When Bai Yiyi finished speaking, everyone once again focused their eyes on Qian Shi alone, waiting for his answer, Qian Shi sighed helplessly and said: "Actually, I want to kill the demon whale to cross the river, it has been eight days since we came out, and if we make a detour, it is likely to take more than ten days, or even more, so we have not done anything but used up nearly a month." ”

Qian Shi looked at everyone and continued: "The task of training and investigating must be very difficult, the more time we waste on the road, the more unfavorable it is for us, although there is no specific time limit for the task, but we have to return at the end of the year, it is three months from now, and the detour will lose the standard route guidance on the map, and we will delay how much time we will delay this time." ”

Listening to Qian Shi's words, everyone felt that this was the key, but the plan of several other candidates was also reasonable, and now the situation has become four against four, if you choose by voting, then it is difficult to choose now, and everyone is silent for a while.

Several people were sitting in the tent, no one spoke, maybe they were all thinking about their own problems and the benefits of these two plans, at this time the sky was inexplicably overcast, the sky was originally clear, white clouds floating in the sky, now it is indeed gloomy, the sky is gray, as if there is going to be a rainstorm, and the surroundings are beginning to become dark, which seems a little depressing.

Bai Yiyi looked at the changes outside and whispered, "Maybe it's going to rain." Then he said: "Since Qian Shi is the captain of our team, this situation also has to make a choice, no matter which plan is actually pros and cons, there is no perfect solution, let's listen to Qian Shi's choice, what do you say." ”

Shangguan Ling said: "That's right, as a team, we still have to unify an opinion, let's just decide, Qian Shi, how should we choose next." ”

Several other people also nodded in agreement, and now someone should come out to decide the dilemma, Qian Shi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then let me think about it, maybe there is a more secure way, seeing that we can't move today, let's prepare to resist this upcoming storm first." ”

Li Cai smiled bitterly: "Yes, I see that the wind is strong, and even our camp is going to fly, brothers, now let's strengthen our camp first, and those wildebeest will also move to the woods first." ”

An inconclusive impromptu meeting was over, and several people were busy, but their makeshift tents had taken this situation into account, and in order to strengthen the camp, they cut down a lot of trees, erected a few strong support points, and at the same time retreated a little to prevent the river from spreading.

But before everyone could finish this, the raindrops of beans slapped down, pouring on everyone's bodies, and at the same time, the wind was also strong, much more fierce than before, some small trees were directly blown down, plus the lightning and thunder in the sky, "click" explosion, wind and rain, their small camp was like a fluttering boat, about to be submerged at any time.

Qian Shi and the others could only barely hide in the tent, listening to the sound outside, the wind was howling, the thunder was non-stop, Li Cai scolded and said: "Damn, what the hell is this weather, it was fine before, it rained heavily in such a short period of time, and the wind was so strong, it was dark." ”

Qian Shi also didn't expect the rain to come so suddenly, and said: "Hey, now I can only wait, fortunately, this Hubo is close to the woods, otherwise it is really difficult to dodge." ”

The thunder, the wind, and the rain were all intertwined, and they didn't mean to get smaller at all, but they got bigger and bigger, Qian Shi seemed to feel that the ground was shaking, and there was a "buzzing" sound from time to time, and the thunder pattern demon whale in the Hu Bo actually began to roar and roar.

Everyone was looking outside, could it be that the lake had risen, or that the Thunder Demon Whale was going to take advantage of the weather to do something, the originally calm lake was now turbulent, and it was connected with the storm, but the shadow of the Thunder Demon Whale was not found on the water.

Qian Shi looked at it for a moment and said, "Did you find anything?"

The few people next to him were all unknown, and Shangguan Ling asked, "Well, what's the matter, isn't it just the torrential rain and the wind, and the demon whale seems to be still at the bottom of the lake." ”

Qian Shi said: "No, I'm not talking about this, do you feel that the lake not only does not rise, but seems to have receded and become shallow." ”

Li Cai immediately said: "How is this possible, such a big lake is still connected to the river, and now it is raining heavily, and the water level has not risen. ”

Li Caigang was about to continue, but was interrupted by Bai Yiyi: "It seems to be true, you take a closer look, there were some aquatic plants on the shore before, which were covered by the lake, but only some leaves on them were exposed, but now they are all exposed, and some dwarf aquatic plants nearby were invisible before, but now they have also appeared on the shore!"

Li Cai was startled, hurriedly looked at it, and said after a while: "Really, it's true, the lake is receding, as if it is slowly seeping into the ground!"

Everyone else also noticed this, and it became more and more obvious, until the water level was actually falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the thunder pattern demon whale that had been roaring in the lake before was also silent.

Qian Shi shouted: "Haha, I know, I know why, I just heard about it before, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it today." ”

Bai Yiyi wondered: "What, is it related to the lake?" ”

Qian Shi explained to everyone: "This lake should be connected to a huge underground river, which has always been underground, and there is no lake in front of us, but in some special environments and weather, it will gush out of the ground to form lakes and rivers, which will generally last for several years or more than ten years, and then wait for a special time, the lake recedes again, hides into the underground river, and flows elsewhere!"

"Water is the source of all things, but also the source of food, this is a very strange phenomenon on the Tianhua Continent, many hunters who are out all the year round will not meet, I have only heard the grandfather in the village talk about it before, today I really witnessed it with my own eyes!"

Shangguan Ling asked in surprise: "Then, do you mean that this lake will completely retreat along the underground river and turn into land?"

Qian Shi smiled: "That's right, that's it, which also explains why our map does not mark the existence of lakes or rivers, because this is a smooth road, there is no lake, at most it is just a depression, and the person who drew this map did not know that there was an underground river below, so this kind of thing happened." ”

"And after the lake recedes this time, the next time it reconvenes here and becomes a huge lake, I don't know how many years it will be, maybe a hundred years, and then it will last for a long time, and we just hit this point, I don't know if it is lucky or unlucky. ”

Li Cai laughed after listening to Qian Shi's explanation: "Hahaha, of course we are lucky, not only did we see this spectacular scene but also opened the way forward for us, do you know what this is called, this is the protection of the god of food, heaven and earth help each other, this time our training task will also be a success!"

Hearing Li Cai say this, Qian Shi also smiled, and there was no need to think about that dilemma, now as long as they waited patiently, the lake would dissipate on its own, and then they could follow the route on the map and go straight to Dragon Bone Mountain.

At this time, everyone's mood is also better, looking at the heavy rain that is still falling, but I want to thank this strange weather, maybe because of this, the lake is hidden into the underground river, and a few people are ready to go on the road again.
