Three hundred and sixty-nine. Lake of Dead Souls
Early morning fog shrouds the Amazon rainforest.
When the mercenaries woke up, they found that the raptor was gone.
What about the Raptors? Where did the raptor go?
"There it is!" The moon suddenly pointed ahead.
A figure of a man appeared in the mist:
Ai Xiaohai!
"Where have you been so early?" The mercenaries gathered around.
"Find some essentials for our adventures." Ai Xiaohai took out a bottle and shook it.
The bottle was filled with a full bottle of golden liquid.
Ai Xiaohai looked at Ma Lu: "I think you should be able to guess what's in this bottle, right?" ”
"The liquid of the Golden Poison Dart Frog?" Malu couldn't help but cry out.
"Yes, the liquid of the Golden Poison Dart Frog, and use it hard against those Golden Fruits." Ai Xiaohai smiled.
Ma Lu's face was incredulous: "God, where did you find that?" In such a large bottle, there is at least dozens of liquid secreted by the golden poison dart frog! ”
He wouldn't have known that such a thing was just easy for Ai Xiaohai to do.
But he went out at dawn and summoned the nearby Golden Poison Dart Frog, and he was too busy to get so much liquid.
The antidote liquid was distributed to the mercenaries, and the journey of the new day began again.
Everywhere you go, you'll find strange plants, some of which even the most knowledgeable mercenaries have never seen before.
This adds some joy to the boring journey.
"We're almost there." Ai Xiaohai stopped and looked at the map and said.
The mercenaries immediately became nervous, and smeared the liquid of the Golden Poison Arrow Doll under their noses.
It's the only thing that can deal with the Golden Fruit.
The team began to grope their way cautiously. Here, everywhere there is a possibility of hiding unknown great dangers.
Some strange and bewitching fruits gradually appeared.
The size of a coin, golden yellow with some red-green mixed in, it looks so beautiful.
"It's beautiful." The moon suddenly stopped, and looked at the fruits in amazement: "Do you see, what a beautiful fruit, I have never seen such a beautiful fruit...... It's a lot like my hometown. I really saw my hometown...... My mom and dad older siblings were there as ......"
"He's poisoned!" Malu shouted loudly: "Quick, liquid, hurry up and rub some more liquid on her." ”
Ai Xiaohai hurriedly took out the golden liquid in the bottle and wiped a lot of it under the moon's nose.
The moon was clever and woke up suddenly: "What happened to me just now?" ”
"It's fine. It's okay. Ai Xiaohai exhaled: "Everyone stay away from these golden fruits!" ”
Evil sect. These fruits are really too evil. Even if you rub the liquid of the golden poison dart frog, you may still be confused.
"Look, what's that?" Dark Night pointed sharply ahead.
"Black caiman, that's black caiman!" Maru immediately identified the creature.
It is a species more than two meters long, endemic to southern and central America.
Didn't you let all the animals here? Ai Xiaohai frowned. A consciousness was thrown.
But the black caiman didn't feel it at all. Waiting for blood-red eyes. Saliva flowed from his mouth, full of sharp teeth, and he rushed towards the mercenaries with extremely fast movements.
Poisoned, this black caiman was poisoned too. I don't even know who Ai Xiaohai is anymore!
This crocodile is extremely brutal, and Ai Xiaohai shouted: "Shoot!" ”
The gunshots rang out quickly, "crackling" at the black caiman.
But even under such a blow, the black caiman still crawled forward stubbornly for a long distance before dying.
There was a large number of sounds around him, and then countless creatures appeared.
Just like the black caiman, all the creatures that appeared, without exception, had blood-red eyes and looked insane.
All of them have been poisoned by the Golden Fruit!
There are all kinds of creatures, pythons, turtles, monkeys, etc., etc.
"Shoot, shoot!" Before these creatures attacked, Ai Xiaohai gave the order as soon as possible.
Malu had already told him before, you must not let the poisoned animal come near you, otherwise once he scratches it, the toxin will enter the human bloodstream and there will be no salvation.
I'm not afraid, but I have to be responsible for my fellow people!
The guns rang out frantically, and the mercenaries desperately shot at the animals that tried to approach, and even Malu picked up a pistol and kept pulling the trigger.
And under the crazy attack of such dense firepower, although the animals suffered heavy casualties, one by one they seemed to have forgotten their fear at all, and rushed towards humans one after another.
It's horrible, the madness that these animals are showing is really horrible.
Ai Xiaohai's headache was that he had no way to communicate with these crazy animals at all.
These animals have completely forgotten their king, and they have completely forgotten the feeling of fear.
Nothing is invincible, but Ai Xiaohai suddenly had such an idea at this time.
For the animals, he is basically a god-like existence, but under the influence of the golden fruit, the animals suddenly lost their due reverence for themselves.
In nature, there is simply one thing descending from one thing.
And what about the Black Dragon? This massive, terrifying creature must not be without flaws.
A huge python appeared on a tree, it saw the moon, rushed down from the tree and bit the moon.
At this time, the moon's attention was completely absorbed by the frontal animal attack group, and he did not notice that the great danger was approaching him.
At this moment of life and death, a pair of hands that made the mercenaries always feel at ease and stable reached over and accurately grabbed the giant python.
Ai Xiaohai!
With a slam of both hands, a giant python was pulled in two by him.
Throwing the two snake bodies to the ground: "Be careful. ”
The moon is not afraid at all. She and all the mercenaries knew very well that as long as they fought with the raptor, no matter how dangerous the situation was, he would always be there for the team members when they needed help the most.
This is the leader that the players can trust completely......
Although the animals have lost their minds and are crazy, they are also dying in pieces under the attack of such dense and powerful fire from humans, and their numbers are rapidly decreasing.
Many of these dead animals are rare and endangered, but no one cares about them on the verge of life and death.
Either kill them or be killed by them.
Sometimes there are very few options left for human beings.
Finally, after killing the last monkey. Everything was instantly quiet.
The dead animals all over the ground. The blood in that place made these mercenaries who were used to life and death almost couldn't help but vomit.
It's horrible, the destructive power of nature is really horrible.
Not a single one spoke, and everyone was staring blankly at everything in front of them.
It's not made like this by the toxins of the golden fruit. Rather, they stared blankly at the killings they had caused.
"Let's go." Ai Xiaohai whispered.
The mercenaries silently moved.
Ai Xiaohai suddenly understood. The burial place of the golden treasure is so hidden. And there are also terrible golden fruits and so many crazy animal guards nearby. No one can come in here.
But they succeeded.
The further I went, the more difficult the road became, and I had to stop a few times. It was only by the machete that he could barely pass through the way.
After walking like this for about two hours, the front suddenly opened up.
Surrounded by trees, a lake flows quietly.
Lake of the Dead!
This is the legendary Lake of the Dead!
A skeleton lay near the lake, his hand still facing the Lake of Dead Souls.
I don't know how many years ago, a person finally came here after passing the blockade of golden fruits and mad animals. But he still fell, so close to the treasure.
"Lake of Dead Souls, Lake of Dead Souls." Maru's mouth kept muttering, and his face was full of awe.
He fell to his knees, muttering to himself, presumably praying for something.
Ai Xiaohai didn't have time to care about these: "Look everywhere, be careful." ”
God knows what other weird creatures are hiding here.
The mercenaries immediately dispersed.
The air began to get hot and humid, and there was a feeling of breathlessness.
The mercenaries searched almost every corner of the neighborhood, but found nothing. Not to mention the gold treasures of the Inca Empire, not even a single coin has been found.
When they got together again, they were all helpless.
"Are we in the wrong place? Or is this not actually a lake of dead souls, just an ordinary lake? Moon asked tentatively.
"I have a feeling that what we're looking for is right here." Ai Xiaohai was a little stubborn, and his gaze immediately fell to the direction of the Dead Soul Lake: "I'm going to go down and have a look." ”
If there isn't one nearby, then the answer must be at the bottom of the lake.
"I'll go." Dark Night said hurriedly.
The ghost knew what was going on at the bottom of the lake, and he didn't want the raptor to take the risk.
"I'm good at water, I'll go." Ai Xiaohai smiled: "This is an order." ”
He was the leader of the mercenaries, and no one could say anything more.
The diving equipment was quickly brought and Rukes prepared everything they needed for them.
In fact, Ai Xiaohai didn't need any diving equipment at all, but in order to hide people's eyes, he still put on this bulky and sad guy.
As he went into the water, he heard the moon say to himself, "Be careful, and sound the alarm as soon as something goes wrong." ”
Ai Xiaohai nodded, and then a fierce man plunged into the Lake of Dead Souls......
……
The lake water was cold, and when it was time to dive to the bottom of the lake, Ai Xiaohai took off the diving equipment that was useless to him.
It's a burden to him.
I feel much more comfortable this time.
The lake is very deep, and Ai Xiaohai never thought that a lake would be hundreds of meters deep.
If the golden treasure is really hidden here. Who can dive to the bottom of a lake that deep to find it?
A black shadow appeared, and Ai Xiaohai saw that it was a black caiman again.
Is it the same as those animals that were poisoned?
Just as Ai Xiaohai was about to tentatively release his consciousness, suddenly the lake around him moved, and then the lake water rolled, and a huge black shadow appeared, and a mouth actually swallowed the whole black caiman!
The two-meter-long black caiman was swallowed by an unknown creature.
Ai Xiaohai only saw clearly what appeared in front of him at this time:
Whale! A huge whale that doesn't talk like that!
God, Ai Xiaohai swore that he had never seen such a big whale in his life.
The whale's obvious hostility radiated. But. Immediately, its body began to tremble.
It seemed to be terrified.
"You know me?" Ai Xiaohai tentatively communicated with it.
"My king, my king, please don't kill me." The whale was really able to sense Ai Xiaohai's consciousness: "I have lived here for so many years, and I have never done anything bad. Please spare me. Please spare me. ”
"Do you recognize me?" Ai Xiaohai put his mind at ease. I guess it was a good thing I did in my previous life, right?
"My king. I know wrong. I knew I was wrong when you sent the Thunderbird to punish me. "Whales are still terrified.
Thunderbird? Does the Thunderbird also have a relationship with itself?
Ai Xiaohai frowned: "It's been too long, I don't remember something, tell me what happened to you?" ”
Whales dare not hide. 1510 said it.
It was a long, long time ago, when whales were a very ferocious and terrifying creature.
Whales are always able to set off huge waves and poison humans at will.
Finally, one day the king appeared, but by that time he had lost the body of a dragon.
The whale and several of its companions tried to eat the king, which completely angered the king.
The king created a huge, mighty bird and sent it to defeat the whales.
Ai Xiaohai violently sounded the mythical story of the Inca Empire:
“…… A terrible roar of thunder was heard in the distance, and lightning bolts pierced the darkness. The thunder sounded like the flapping of huge wings from the place where the sun rose. Everyone looked over the ocean and saw a behemoth in the shape of a bird flying towards them. The people were stunned, they had never seen a bird this big. The wings were outstretched, larger than the sails of a warship, and the huge beak was hooked, and the eyes were blazing. Everyone saw that he had a giant whale in his claws. The crowd watched silently at the Thunderbird, as everyone called it in their hearts, and carefully placed the whale on the ground in front of them. Then, with the whistling of a goodbye, he rushed into the sky and disappeared into the sky with a thunderous lightning. ”
The Thunderbird hunted the whales effortlessly, and no whale in front of it had the ability to resist, and finally, when there was only one whale left, the king ordered the Thunderbird to stop killing.
The whale pleaded bitterly, and the king sighed: "It's not easy for you to be able to cultivate until now. Forget it, you've learned your lesson, and all your companions are dead, so stay at the bottom of the Lake of Dead Souls and never have to be seen again. I'm going to put enough food in the Lake of the Dead to eat, and all the creatures here will be more fertile than anywhere else. ”
No wonder there were so many black caimans when they fought with the animals just now, and they turned out to be the food of giant whales.
Hell, all the myths and stories in the world are related to oneself, or more accurately, to one's past life.
"I'm not going to kill you." Ai Xiaohai said.
Since he had spared it in his previous life, why would he kill such a creature that had survived for thousands of years?
The whale's eyes showed gratitude: "My king, thank you for your kindness, I am very old, and my appetite has not been as good as before, and sometimes I want to eat something for a few years, I am afraid that I will not live very long." ”
Ai Xiaohai nodded, such a huge giant whale himself didn't want it to be extinct like this. Swimming close to the giant whale, a spiritual power was instilled into it.
The giant whale was suddenly overjoyed, its happy body jumped again and again, and the lake on the side was suddenly boiling.
Ai Xiaohai hurriedly stopped it.
The giant whale is still excited, this spiritual power of the king may be able to live for thousands of years.
"Okay, let me ask you, are there any treasures or anything like that?"
Ai Xiaohai thought of the right thing, and it took a long time to explain to the giant whale what a treasure was.
"Yes." The whale quickly replied, "Probably a few hundred years ago, a human entered here and dropped a box. ”
Ai Xiaohai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Where's the box?" ”
It must have been the last Inca king who sent him to hide the treasure. Having managed to escape the Golden Fruit and the mad animals, they managed to get in and threw the chest full of treasure into the bottom of the lake.
Who will be able to reach Lake of Dead Souls? Even if they barely reach it, who will be able to dive to the bottom of the lake hundreds of meters deep? Take 10,000 steps back, and even if you can really enter the bottom of the lake, there is still such a huge and terrifying giant whale guarding the treasures of the Inca Empire.
However, the Inca king was probably determined to die at that time, and he had no intention of recovering this treasure at all. And he would rather hide the treasure forever than fall into the hands of the Spanish colonists.
But he would never have thought that a non-human like Ai Xiaohai would emerge a few hundred years later.
The giant whale clumsily let go of its heavy body, and then a box appeared in front of Ai Xiaohai.
Well, well, 10,000 steps back, even if the treasure hunter can kill the giant whale, but the treasure chest is crushed under the giant whale, who has the ability to move the giant whale's body?
Even if you send a crane, you can't move it.
It's just that Ai Xiaohai wondered, the treasure chest that appeared in front of him was very small and small, could it be the golden treasure of the Inca Empire? What does this mean?
It is said that the Golden Treasure is divided into three parts, and here in the Lake of Dead Souls is one of them.
But how many treasures can be held in a small chest! (To be continued......)
