Chapter 420: The Sacred Lake

"This is the Sacred Lake?" Little Yellow Fur touched the withered yellow hair on his head and said with some disappointment, "It doesn't look any different from the lake in my backyard." ”

It was noon and the temperature had risen considerably. After walking for a morning, the mercenaries felt a little tired, and following the instructions of the grass carp, they had set up camp on the shore of the lake.

As Xiao Huangmao said, the sacred lake in front of them was indeed nothing special. If you have to look for something special, then this lake looks very round. It is a kilometer in size, surrounded by a pitch-black sandy soil, and not far away is a small forest. At the edge of the grove, many trees had fallen down, as if they had been destroyed by a strong wind, and the sharp-eyed mercenaries could see the marks of burning at the edge of the woods.

There were other admiring explorers around the lake, carrying large and small clay pots and containers, as if they were going to bring the sacred lake back to their home.

Frank, who had walked around the shore of the lake, did not notice anything unusual, he also tasted the water of the lake, but did not drink the taste of holy water.

The expressions on the faces of the other mercenaries were similar, either disappointed or bored.

Back at the camp, Frank came up to the one-eyed dragon. "Obviously," he said, "your so-called secret is not worth much. We found this so-called sacred lake, and we didn't get anything. ”

"Everyone says that the water of the Sacred Lake has the effect of holy water!" insisted the one-eyed dragon, who had been beaten and bruised and swollen, "Let me drink a little, I have a wound on my face, and see if the Sacred Lake can heal me." ”

The pesky complied with his request and poured a water bag filled with lake water into his mouth.

"Knock knock...... Belch...... I'm full......" Seeing the pesky come over with a full water bag, the one-eyed dragon said in embarrassment, "I can't drink anymore." ”

"No, your wounds haven't healed yet, come on, go on!" the nasty ghost opened his mouth again.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! burp!! uh...... What, I'...... I feel like I'm healed!" The one-eyed dragon's face was full of desire to survive.

The nasty ghost smacked the bruise from the corner of the one-eyed dragon's eye, and he immediately screamed in pain. "It doesn't seem to be alright!" said the nasty ghost, pouring him another water bag.

When it was done, the one-eyed dragon's eyes were straight, and it only felt like its belly was about to burst. There was a hiccup, and two jets of water pierced directly through the nostrils.

"Alright, stop torturing him. This guy obviously has a bad brain, it's normal to be deceived, aren't we also deceived?"

Someone finally spoke for himself! Although the other party was scolding himself for his bad brain, for the one-eyed dragon at this time, this was simply a natural sound! He followed the prestige, and saw a slender and thin guy with a smile on his face, pinching the orchid and pointing here.

"Boss, I found this. Mr. Sissy tossed a bloody steel knife at Frank and said, "You should know what you found in the woods five miles away." ”

Frank held the steel knife in front of his eyes, and remembered the image from two weeks ago. "Looks like we need to look around here. Frank said, "Are they back?"

"Not yet, the nearest town of Fatu is twenty miles away, and it takes two hours to go back and forth. Mr. Sissy replied.

"Give the fastest horse to the little yellow fur and let him go to the town of Garang in the east. Everything about the Sacred Lake must be investigated. ”

A short time after the little yellow fur walked out of the camp, the smiling Garu came running back, covered in sand and dust, and his face covered with a gray veil. After stepping off the maroon mare, he took off his gray veil and revealed his trademark "smiley face".

"Boss," said the smiley Garu, "I've asked all the questions I need to ask." ”

Seeing Garu returning from his horse, the other mercenaries surrounded him.

I saw Garu take a sip of water and then said slowly:

"Two weeks ago, the inhabitants of the small town of Fatu did see the vision of heaven and earth, and felt a strong invisible impact on their town, causing the houses on the edge of the town to be destroyed, and hundreds of people were killed and injured. A week after the vision of heaven and earth appeared, someone found this sacred lake. When they brought the lake back to the small town of Fatu, they distributed it to many seriously injured people, more or less, and their injuries were all under control. So, they said it was a miracle of the God of Light. It is a gift from the God of Light to them after the catastrophe. Hence the name 'Sacred Lake'. ”

"Later, most of the residents of the small town of Fatou came here. It is said that they drained half of the lake, and since that day, the effectiveness of the sacred lake has disappeared, and it is no longer effective in curing the sick and saving people. ”

The inhabitants of the other towns pointed out that it was because of the insatiable greed of the people of Fatu that they angered the god of light, causing the god of light to withdraw the divine power in the sacred lake. ”

Eventually, they said that the priest of the small town of Fatu had come to the sacred lake to investigate, saying that there was also a cardinal. As for what these clergy think, they do not know. ”

After listening to Garru's account, the mercenaries were all lost in thought.

Frank had a feeling that the sacred lake must have some connection with its owner!

As he walked around the shore of the lake, he tore through the sand under his feet, and at a depth of a foot underground, he found the rhizomes of plants, and from this he judged that this was once a grassland!

Combined with the news brought back by the smiling Garu, it is almost certain that there are two things now: first, the vision of heaven and earth, that is, the rainbow that can be seen from a hundred miles away does represent a powerful explosion. The power of the shockwave spread directly to the small town of Fatu twenty miles away. Second, this sacred lake does have a sacred place!

Frank thought about it so much, but he never could connect everything here with the owner.

Until Ryder, who had been following him, was suddenly stunned, pointed to a dark figure deep in the woods in the distance and said, "That seems to be ...... Big Black Feet. Frank realized that his feelings were not delusions.

However, when they ran into the woods, they lost sight of Big Blackfoot. This leaves Frank and Ryder confused again.

At this moment, a group of mercenaries sat together, with a gloomy expression on their faces.

"We came here the first two days to be fine, at least to drink free holy water. The atmosphere was getting sluggish and the nasty ghost was joking, "Now I can only soak my feet in this sacred lake." Everyone thought he was joking, but he actually took off his shoes and put two stinky feet inside.

"Hell, there's someone drinking from the lake not far away! You're worthy of your nickname, nasty ghost!"

"What's wrong with soaking my feet, if there is no one around, I will throw the shield of the meat shield into the lake as a boat, and it will be pleasant to sleep on it. The nasty gouged his nostrils and bounced towards the lake.

After everyone saw it, their faces turned green, and the catfish who was pouring water into the water bag on the side happened to see this scene, and they suddenly became angry. "Rookie mercenary!" Catfish prefers another title to calling him a nasty ghost, "I must teach you a lesson on behalf of the God of Light!"

"Yes, there are many people who want to teach me a lesson, please line up at the back. "The nasty ghost is still enjoying his feet by the lake.

The catfish couldn't bear it, but his brother, the mercenary leader grass carp, suddenly stood in front of him. "When it's all done, make any fuss about it, but for now you have to remember that we have a mission. ”

"Alright, Brother Commander. Catfish said helplessly.

"Alright, Brother Commander. The nasty ghost learned his tone.

"You're fucking!" Finally, the catfish couldn't bear it anymore and flew up with a kick!

There was a thud, and the nasty ghost was kicked into the lake.

Goo!

A few bubbles bubbled up, and the lake instantly returned to calm......

At first, many mercenaries didn't take it seriously, but I don't know who mentioned it:

"Can pesky people swim?"

Suddenly, a look of doubt appeared on everyone's faces.

Because none of them know the answer to this question.

The catfish touched his nose and glanced at the lake that was gradually returning to calm, but he didn't even take off his clothes and plunged directly into the lake.

The water properties of the catfish are still very reliable.

After all, his nickname is Catfish!

and his elder brother, the current leader of the Timberwolves Mercenary Regiment, both of whom have excellent water nature. Thinking of this, everyone didn't care about whether the nasty ghost would be water.

"I forgive you, don't feel guilty!" said the one-eyed dragon to the slugs beside him, "Little Billy, you know, I never blame you, after all, we are the only ones in the same village among the horse thieves." ”

Little Billy nodded silently.

"Well, now, our chance is again!" whispered the one-eyed dragon, "untie the ropes from me, and we'll run away, little Billy, don't beg for them to let you go, your head is worth three silver coins anyway." ”

"Your head is worth three gold coins...... said the slug.

"Be fucking quiet. The one-eyed dragon immediately interrupted him with a boo, "Quick!

The slug, as if he had thought about it for a moment, and as if he had made a great deal of determination, made a resolute expression on his face, and finally, he looked at the one-eyed dragon and said firmly, "I'm afraid!"

After a long time, there was no movement on the lake!

The grass carp standing by the lake looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already panicked!

It was already five breaths of time, and his own brother had not made any movement when he jumped into the lake, how could he not panic! At this moment, he already had the urge to jump off by himself!

Still, he managed to keep the last shred of sanity.

As a mercenary leader, he must also be sensible!

"If I knew how to water, I'd jump," Frank said in a deep voice, standing beside him, "that's why I'm not fit to be the head of the regiment." ”

"Perhaps," the grass carp finished speaking, and shook his head uncertainly, "As a regimental leader, you should indeed stand in the most critical position to abbot the overall situation...... Alas, I'm not very clear either. But what I know for sure is, Frank, you'll be a good big brother for all of us!"

"Big brother!" Suddenly, there was a huge splash on the water, and the catfish's head was exposed, and his left hand was grasping the nasty ghost who was coughing violently, "Look what I found at the bottom of the lake!" His right hand was raised high, and a black shadow turned into a parabola and fell in front of the grass carp.

Bang!

It's a pitch-black skeleton!

It seems to have been burned by flames, and it looks like a black skeleton that has been poisoned......
