Chapter 681: Exploration at the bottom of the lake

At noon in the middle of the night, Zhao Zilong sensed the surroundings, and then secretly went out of the village with Niu Geqing, avoiding the devil's outpost, and went all the way to Yinlong Lake.

The lake was a little bigger than Zhao Zilong imagined, surrounded by stones of different sizes, and in the distance were the mountains of Hesse, with tall and steep peaks continuously, looking from a distance, like a huge sword, straight into the sky.

After passing a path that was completely covered with weeds and wild vines, Zhao Zilong and Niu Geqing walked to the lake beach.

In the night light, the lake is very clear, reflecting the full moon hanging in the sky.

"Brother Zhao, it's overgrown with weeds here, and you can't see anyone hiding outside here." Niu Geqing said.

"Hmm. Isn't that just right? Zhao Zilong nodded and asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Niu Geqing nodded.

When he observed again, Zhao Zilong found a small piece of reeds, and immediately said happily: "Brother Niu, God helped us this time." ”

"Huh?" Niu Geqing is a little unclear.

"I use the reed pole as a gas tank, so I can stay at the bottom of the lake for a longer time." Zhao Zilong walked as he spoke.

The reed pole is hollow, and as long as it is blocked on both sides, it can accumulate air. When Zhao Zilong is stuffy underwater, he can open the side of the reed pole and inhale with his mouth.

Because a section of reed pole is only the size of a thumb, thirty-four centimeters, which is very light, Zhao Zilong and Niu Geqing made more than 20 reed rod cylinders in a row and tied them to their bodies.

Subsequently, Zhao Zilong bent down to wash his face, and by the way, he tested the water temperature and found that it was cold.

"It's so cold, are you okay?" Niu Geqing still asked with some concern.

"It's okay, I'm strong." Zhao Zilong shook his head and urged: "Let's start, finish it early and go back early." After everything was ready, Niu Geqing tied Zhao Zilong's waist with a rope.

Zhao Zilong used his special pranayama to adjust his mental and physical strength, and then jumped into the lake. According to the original plan, Niu Geqing hid in a bush that was not easy to be found to observe the surrounding situation.

This lake is very deep and deep, and as soon as Zhao Zilong dives to the bottom, he can't see clearly.

However, he immediately used his sensing ability to see the environment within 100 meters of his surroundings.

If he was on land, he could sense movement within a maximum of ten kilometers, but now in the water, he could only control this range.

Zhao Zilong sensed while diving, and slowly swam to the bottom of the lake. He found that the bottom of the water was similar to the shore of a lake, full of all kinds of stones, like a rocky beach.

It stands to reason that these stones that have been in the water for many years should be covered with a thick layer of things, but these stones are not, and their surfaces are clean, which makes Zhao Zilong very surprised.

When Zhao Zilong was about to touch the rocky beach, he felt a little depressed, his eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't see clearly.

After all, he sank to the bottom of the lake, estimated to be thirty or forty meters deep, and the air pressure made his brain swell, not to mention his body.

He immediately adjusted his position, holding the air that was still in his chest and lungs, and quickly adjusted it with a special pranayama.

Later, when Zhao Zilong observed the rocky beach again, he seemed to see that there was still space below, as if he could dive down.

He swam closer and saw that the rocky beach was not flat, it had a slope, and it was estimated that the place where it sank was the highest slope of the rocky beach.

At this time, he felt that the rope around his waist was pulled three times at intervals, which was Niu Geqing asking him about the situation below.

Zhao Zilong immediately took the rope and responded three times like that.

Then, he continued to sink down along the slope of the rocky beach, and slowly, the slope of the rocky beach became slower and slower, and Zhao Zilong knew that he was about to reach the deepest part of the lake.

At that moment, he suddenly saw something strange, a dark green thing with a long float, and he didn't know what it was.

Although Zhao Zilong has been to many places and seen all kinds of strange shapes, he has no judgment on these things for a while, he is thinking: Is there a water monster guarding the treasure at the bottom of this lake?

However, although he was suspicious in his heart, he felt more and more that the treasure was in this place.

Although he was a little uneasy in his heart, he continued to sink down, but found that the space inside was much larger.

During this time, he pulled out a few reeds and inhaled the trachea.

It wasn't until he sank to the bottom that he saw that it wasn't a water monster, it was just an old wooden shelf, covered with things like cotton wool.

And because it's in the water, it shakes it, making it look like something is moving.

Zhao Zilong was amazed by the scene at the bottom of this lake, there was something else on the bottom of this lake, it not only had ancient wooden buildings, but also many other things, such as tiled houses, tables, chairs, and so on.

Zhao Zilong looked around and judged that this should be a village or village that sank many years ago.

Why is there a village-like existence at the bottom of such a deep lake? Could it be that the landslide was submerged by the mudslide in the past? But it shouldn't be, it's surrounded by mountains, so if these lakes didn't exist from the beginning, then where did they come from?

Zhao Zilong suddenly thought of the legend of the bronze tripod and the treasure that Asaka Junmiko told.

Could this really be the third treasure place?

If it is really a treasure buried by Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty, then it should have been buried in the land at that time, and the lake was later formed because of the subsidence here.

Just as he was guessing, his eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of something, and he swam along to find that there was a pile of things underneath.

Those things were dark, and the light at the bottom of the lake was dim, so I couldn't see what they were, but when Zhao Zilong sensed it, when he touched it, he didn't respond.

Fortunately, from a distance of about twenty or thirty meters, he could still see, but it was blurred.

Zhao Zilong wasn't sure what it was, he just wanted to continue downstream to see what it was.

When he got closer to the bottom, he found that there was a place similar to the entrance of the cave, but because it was too old, the hole was covered with a lot of slimy things, and it was not clear at all if he simply used his hands to make it clear.

After inhaling a few more reed tracheas, and then adjusting his mental and physical strength, Zhao Zilong wanted to see if he could open this hole by himself.

It's just that the entrance to the cave was blocked by several large stones, and he couldn't push it at all, but it took his physical strength.

Because it was too long underwater, it was estimated that there was an hour left on the left, and Zhao Zilong's head was dizzy.

After observing the surroundings again, Zhao Zilong sucked out the remaining reed trachea.

Just as he was about to try to move one of the large rocks, he suddenly felt the bottom of the lake start to shake, like an earthquake.
