Chapter 47: The Lake in Distress
With Qin Siyu's exclamation, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue looked at the place Qin Siyu was pointing at the same time.
The place Qin Siyu was pointing to was actually not very far from the spring, and when Zhang Yuan waved his hand to fan away the fog around him, a flash of light appeared at the bottom of the lake near the spring, like a pearl shining brightly.
Zhang Yuan looked carefully in that direction, and at the bottom of the lake, Zhang Yuan saw several purple stones of different sizes surrounding a strange plant.
The purple stone was enough to attract attention, but when I looked at the plant again, I found that there was a world of difference between the two.
The plant grows seven leaves, which slowly fluctuate with the flow of water, and in the middle of the seven leaves grows a red fruit, but the strangest thing is that there seems to be a faint flame around the fruit, a flame burning in the water.
Although Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue could also vaguely see the brilliance of the purple stone, they couldn't see the strange plant, Zhang Yuan told Zhang Yue and Qin Siyu what he saw, and asked the two if they had heard of such a plant, but the three of them obviously lacked the necessary knowledge of some natural treasures, so no one knew what the strange plant in the water was.
Although they didn't know what a plant was, the three of them were sure that this plant must be a kind of natural treasure, since they had encountered it now, how could they let it go, so after asking Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue to wait on the lifeboat, Zhang Yuan jumped directly into the lake.
After diving into the lake, Zhang Yuan felt the richness of the spring, even if he didn't run the exercises, the aura in the lake kept squeezing towards Zhang Yuan's body, and Zhang Yuan's body was like a sponge, constantly digesting the rich aura of heaven and earth around him.
Soon, Zhang Yuan came to the strange plant, and after a close observation, Zhang Yuan found that this plant was even more demonic, and there was indeed a layer of faint flames around the red fruit, and Zhang Yuan had not touched it yet, but he had already felt the burst of temperature coming from it.
didn't have to think about it, Zhang Yuan directly grabbed the stems and leaves of the plant and uprooted them, received them in his space-time storage warehouse, and then went to get those purple stones, but the tentacles were cold, and when the contact time was long, a cold breath actually entered his body, and the internal force in his body ran slowly, and he didn't dare to continue to touch it, and he also received it into the space-time storage warehouse.
After putting away all the two kinds of heaven and earth treasures, Zhang Yuan was ready to reflexively go upstream, but after a casual glance below, Zhang Yuan found that this spring seemed to be like a volcanic crater, but what spewed out was not magma but spiritual liquid, and more than ten meters below the unknown plant, a second identical plant also appeared, but which one obviously did not grow as long as the first one collected by Zhang Yuan, because its fruit had not completely turned red, and occasionally a trace of green could be seen in some places.
did not continue to dive, Zhang Yuan floated directly, and surfaced in a moment, with a slight tap of his palm, Zhang Yuan's body rushed out of the water and landed steadily on the lifeboat, and Qin Siyu was already waiting on the side, when Zhang Yuan fell into the lifeboat, he immediately wiped the water droplets on his face.
After steaming the water stains on his clothes, Qin Siyu put on a robe for him, and Zhang Yuan took his own collection.
"This purple stone should be similar to the spirit stone, but the spiritual energy stored in it can only be absorbed by cultivators who cultivate the water or ice systems, but this plant is unknown. Zhang Yue first expressed his opinion.
In fact, Zhang Yue and Zhang Yuan's knowledge is not much different, after all, Zhang Yue used to be just a martial artist, relying on his own talent to enter the innate from the day after tomorrow, and after entering the innate is only hidden in some inaccessible mountains and forests to practice, and in modern society due to environmental factors, many natural and earthly treasures have disappeared, so people can only understand the heavenly treasures that once existed through some limited records, so as a practitioner, Zhang Yue, it is certain that he does not know the plant in front of him.
Although the three of them didn't know the name of this kind of heavenly and earthly treasure, they couldn't stop the three of them from clearly feeling the rich spiritual power contained in it, so the three of them decided to collect it first, and wait for someone who was familiar with the heavenly material and earthly treasure to investigate it later.
"I just found the same plant again more than ten meters below this plant, but the plant is not yet ripe, so I didn't pick it, we can search around the spring, maybe we can find other plants. Zhang Yuan said.
Zhang Yue and Qin Siyu did not have any objections to Zhang Yuan's proposal, so the three of them began to draw around the spring, and Zhang Yuan also used his heavenly eye to look into the lake.
Sure enough, as Zhang Yuan expected, only a short distance forward, Zhang Yuan found the same plant again, without saying a word, Zhang Yuan jumped into the lake again, but Zhang Yuan did not swim to the place where the plant was, and saw a large area of the same plant growing a few meters below the plant, and all of them were mature.
Zhang Yuan's heart was excited, and he immediately surfaced to the water and said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Yue, you go down with me, there is a large area of the same plant on one side, I'm afraid there must be thousands of them!"
Zhang Yue was also excited when he heard it, and as soon as Zhang Yuan's words fell, he jumped directly into the lake with a pop.
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue went downstream, and soon came to the place where the plant grows, the two separated from each other, and began to pick this strange plant non-stop, as time went by, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yue's depth of diving continued to increase, and with the increase in depth, Zhang Yuan also felt a palpitation, as if he was approaching the danger step by step.
Swam to Zhang Yue's side, patted Zhang Yue who was picking plants, pointed his finger, and the two began to swim towards the water.
When the two of them surfaced, Zhang Yue asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" We only picked a small piece of the place, and there are many more below. ”
"Did you feel anything?" asked Zhang Yuan with some seriousness.
"What do you feel? Nothing special. What did you find?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head, and was a little unsure of what he felt just now, just in the water, Zhang Yuan also glanced down, but even if the two of them had dived more than twenty meters, the lake was still bottomless, I really don't know how deep this lake is.
"We went up first, and I always felt that something was wrong. Although Zhang Yuan didn't find out where the feeling of danger came from, but for the sake of safety, he was still ready to go up to the lifeboat to observe first, after all, he was a cultivator of the Innate Great Perfection, and he would not feel dangerous for no reason, maybe there was really some threat here that he didn't find.
After waiting on the lifeboat for a while, Zhang Yuan put away the treasures that the two of them had picked, and found that there was still no movement around him, and the nerves that had been tense just now were also relaxed, and Zhang Yue also proposed to go into the water again to pick.
After Zhang Yuan found that there was no danger at the moment, he got up and jumped into the water again, but after Zhang Yuan just jumped into the water, the water surface suddenly began to fluctuate violently, which made Zhang Yue, who was about to jump down with Zhang Yuan, stop his body.
"Zhang Yuan, there seems to be something in the water!" Qin Siyu shouted anxiously.
Zhang Yuan was also aware of such a big movement on the water surface, and it must be a very big creature that could stir the entire lake and tremble, so Zhang Yuan's face changed directly, and he didn't have time to get on the lifeboat, so he said directly: "Quick, paddle quickly, return to the shore!"
However, when Zhang Yuan spoke, it was already a little late, as soon as Zhang Yuan's words fell, a black shadow appeared under the water and quickly threw it towards the lifeboat, Zhang Yuan saw that the black shadow was even bigger than the lifeboat, and this was only a part of the body of some kind of creature, and his face turned a little whiter at that time.
Without thinking much about it, Zhang Yuan kicked towards the lifeboat in the water, and Zhang Yuan, who was in a hurry, also used all his strength to kick this kick, and after being kicked by Zhang Yuan, the lifeboat drifted quickly in the direction where it came, and left a clearly visible footprint on the lifeboat.
Due to kicking away from the lifeboat, Zhang Yuan had missed the best time to leave the black shadow attack range, and it was a little too late to even start the emotion, so the black shadow directly hit Zhang Yuan's body, Zhang Yuan felt as if he had been hit by a flying plane, and his whole body was in pain.
After the black shadow hit Zhang Yuan's body, Zhang Yuan also saw what the black shadow was before being knocked away, if he was not mistaken, it should be the tail of an animal, which was densely covered with palm-sized scales, in fact, it was more like a snake tail, but this snake was also too big, and the thickness of the tail was like a truck.
After Zhang Yuan was knocked into the air, he immediately woke up after a short period of dizziness, and looked into the lake in the air, and found that the tail was thrown towards the lifeboat again, and at this moment on the lifeboat, although Zhang Yue and Qin Siyu were rowing hard, but the slow speed was completely incomparable with the speed of the animal's tail, and the anxious Zhang Yuan could only shout loudly in the air: "Zhang Yue, fly!"
After Zhang Yue heard Zhang Yuan's shout, he immediately abandoned the oar in his hand, grabbed Qin Siyu next to him and jumped into the air, and the wind sword in his cuff also flew out in time to become bigger, and caught the two people in the air steadily.
As soon as the two of them were stable in the air, the black tail hit the lifeboat heavily, and the lifeboat also split directly and quickly sank into the lake.
Zhang Yue ignored the splashing waves around him, flew towards the shore as fast as he could, and finally flew out of the range of the lake before the black tail flicked for the third time, which made Zhang Yuan, who fell into the lake again, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
