Chapter 147: The Tunnel Under the Lake

When going up the mountain, visitors are often attracted by the vendors on the roadside, the trees on the side of the road, and the magnificent Taoist hall.

It is only when you come out of the main hall that this crape myrtle mountain reveals its true scenery.

There are no trees here, and you can clearly see the vast scenery of Chaohu Lake in the southwest.

Presumably, tourists are here for this.

"Okay, it's not unjustly spent." Qi Zhen sighed.

It was still early, and everyone decided to take another stroll on Crape Myrtle Mountain.

Qi Zhen always felt that there must be something on this mountain, but it had not been discovered by the team yet.

So a few people began to choose some sparsely populated paths, a bit like a game of treasure hunting in the woods.

Going around and around, I didn't find anything special about the mountain.

Just when Qi Zhen was about to give up fighting Chaohu, everyone walked to a wild lake at the foot of the mountain.

It is located on the north side of the mountain, and because there is no sunlight all year round, the temperature is much lower than the road where the team went up the mountain.

The first person to notice the unusual place was Jiang Yan.

As a mage, she has a keen sense of subtle mana fluctuations in the air.

There seems to be something unusual about the magic in the lake.

Qi Zhen tried it with her hands, but was shivered by the icy water.

"It's so cool." Qi Zhen said.

It was not only Qi Zhen who was testing the temperature of the water with his hands, but also other tourists who put their hands in one after another, and then they were immediately pulled out by the ice.

Nearby, locals tell unknown visitors about the origin of this wild lake.

"We call this lake Cold Lake, why is it called that, you can put your hand into it, and you will know it when you try it. The temperature of the lake is extremely low, and after ordinary people's bodies come into contact with it, they will get frostbite after a few breaths, and it is said that there are people who fall into the water and freeze to death here, so I remind you to be careful and do not lose your footing. ”

"It's not amazing if it's just a low temperature, but the water in this lake is extremely low but not frozen all year round, which is really incomprehensible."

"Legend has it that this lake is connected with the water vein of Chaohu Lake, there are giant kun living here, go to Chaohu Lake to swim during the day, and return here at night to rest, so it will be cold and abnormal, and then the immortals come here, after killing the giant kun, the body is also stored in this lake, so that the lake water is not frozen all year round, but the gods and monsters are rumored, the benevolent see the benevolent, how it is, but no one knows."

Listening to the man's eloquent conversation, the people around him all showed a look of sudden realization or amazement.

Then the man took out a cloth bag and began to look at the tourists around him... Collect money.

"Damn! There are even tour guides, and it's a lot of fun. Yu Liang exclaimed.

"Do you believe what he says?" Qi Zhen ignored the "tour guide" and walked away from them with a resentful face, and asked everyone.

"What does the letter say?" Yu Liang asked.

"If you believe it, we'll go in and have a look." Qi Zhen pointed to the lake in front of him.

"If you don't believe me?" Yu Liang then asked.

"If you don't believe it, go directly to Chaohu."

"But even if it's not like what this guy says, there's bound to be something wrong here, so my advice is, go in and have a look." Qi Zhen came to a conclusion.

"But the question is, how to get there, where to go." Jiang Yan said.

The cold lake in front of you is born by the mountain, and the end of the lake is the mountain wall, as if this lake has neither a source nor an end, as if it was generated out of thin air.

"If there is no water vein above, it must be connected to the water vein below the ground, so we have to dive." Qi Zhen said.

"With our physical fitness, we don't have to worry about being frostbitten or frozen to death by the water here, it's just ......" Li Qiang looked at Jiang Yan and Meng Ran.

"Why don't the three of us go down and leave the two girls outside to help us control the wind." Yu Liang also understood what Li Qiang meant, and proposed.

There was no opinion.

Compared with the unpredictable crisis, it is better to try to avoid the two girls' clothes getting wet.

This cold lake is not small, and the five of them came to the location close to Ziwei Mountain, found a sparsely populated place, and prepared to enter the water.

"Are you all stripped or bare-chested?" Yu Liang looked at the lake and asked Qi Zhen.

attracted Jiang Yan and Meng Ran with a roll of their eyes.

Qi Zhen said that you are casual, turned around and jumped off the lake.

The water temperature is indeed extremely low, and with Qi Zhen's current physical fitness, he also feels that this water temperature can be compared to the cold spring water in the mountain.

Li Qiang also jumped into the water after him, and it seemed that he was in a much better state than Qi Zhen. Followed by Yu Liang.

Because he didn't have a very good understanding of the temperature of the lake like Qi Zhen and had sufficient expectations, his body had just entered the water, and he began to shout: "Huh! Cold cold cold cold ......"

After saying more than a dozen cold words in a row, and splashing desperately in the water for a while, Yu Liang gradually adapted to the temperature in the water.

"Follow me." Qi Zhen said to Li Qiang and Yu Liang, and a fierce son stabbed down.

The water of the lake is very clear, and Qi Zhen can see the underwater situation with her eyes open.

Swimming along the mountain wall, Qi Zhen finally found a dark hole under the water in the center.

Then he surfaced.

He waved at the two girls on the shore in the distance, then pointed down.

The two girls understood that he had made a discovery.

Qi Zhen said to Li Qiang and Yu Liang, who surfaced with him: "There is a hole below, which should lead to the belly of the mountain. ”

Li Qiang and Yu Liang nodded one after another.

"I don't know what awaits us inside, anyway, this time the captain you are in the front, Yu Liang, you are behind, I am in the middle, if there is any problem, swim back immediately, it is very unfavorable for us to fight underwater." Qi Zhen explained.

"Once in the water, you can't communicate with me except for my psychic communication skills. So in the following things, all need to be left to the captain and you will be improvised. Thinking of some pictures and images of deep-sea phobia and claustrophobia in the real world, Qi Zhen found that she was gradually becoming a little scared.

Fear comes from the unknown, and it is indeed an unbreakable truth.

The three of them finally nodded to each other, and Li Qiang, Qi Zhen, and Yu Liang dived down in turn.

When the distance was far away, there was no intuitive feeling for the hole, and it was not until the three of them got closer that they realized that the hole was so huge.

The three of them swam in it, as if they had entered an incomparably huge tunnel.

What's even more amazing is that although this tunnel is very dark, it is not impossible to reach out and lose sight of five fingers, and the stones of the surrounding mountain walls are made of unknown materials, exuding a misty light, illuminating the passage ahead for the three of them.

The water temperature here is even colder, and even Yu Liang, who has just adapted to the water temperature, has a feeling that his body is stiff again.
