Chapter 179: The Secret Under the Ghost Lake
The group returned to the shore of the ghost lake, looking at the devastation, but I was a little nostalgic, it was here that I met the overlord and SAMA, and along the way, the friendship became stronger and stronger.
The wandering corpse was still wandering aimlessly, occasionally approaching, and scratching us a few times, but the weak claws could only pull out bursts of "MISS", and then we were pushed away by impatience, and the original fierce opponent was now a fragile paper, directly pushed to the ground, shattered into a mess of mud.
Da Zhao is a fair person, he carefully looked at the attributes of these wandering corpses, turned his head and sighed again and again: "It's really hard for you lancers, when you just changed jobs, the attributes of these wandering corpses are not easy to deal with." ”
"Just understand, now I can count on the gunman faction to have a long face, which can be regarded as bittersweet."
In fact, Zhao Qian, Sun and Li have always been very righteous, and they are also benevolent and righteous, I have long had the idea of pulling them into the gang, but they don't want to be bound by the rules of the gang, and the four of them are happy to be free.
Standing on the edge of the lake and looking at it, the lake is very wide, about two or three kilometers in diameter, looking at the opposite side of the lake, it is already a vague place.
Da Zhao took out the rune and used it, and there was a layer of enchantment like a mist around his body, he turned around and handed the thing to Lao Bai, and advised: "I'll go to explore the situation under the lake first, if I go down and encounter an accident, please trouble you to fish for equipment, it's not cheap." ”
After that, Da Zhao took a few steps back, and then there was a burst of running, and a dexterous fish jumped directly into the lake, it seems that it should be good water, ordinary people do not have such a skilled posture.
But after half of his body entered the lake, Da Zhao was fluttering indiscriminately, and the water surface was churning and splashing fiercely, which made us tense our nerves and shouted anxiously: "Da Zhao! You okay! ”
After Da Zhao smashed it all the time, he stood up from the water in embarrassment, and the water surface was only up to his thigh, he covered his head and turned his head and cursed one after another: "Damn, the water is too mixed, I thought it was deep, my head hit the stone, and it hurt me to death." ”
No one sympathized with him, only a pair of disdainful glances.
He didn't seek much consolation, just rubbed his head stupidly, turned around and continued to flow the water towards the center of the lake, with a pain, the action was more cautious, every step had to be carefully used to test the underwater situation, and finally after walking out of more than ten meters, a fierce man plunged into the water, and there was no sound.
Just a few minutes later, his head floated on the surface of the water, and Da Zhao skillfully floated in the water, shook his head, and shouted at us: "No, the water is very turbid, the field of vision below is only two or three meters, such a large lake, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find." ”
Lao Bai handed us the runes and attached the water avoidance effect in turn, and the effect showed that it could last for two hours, and then he put away the runes and led the way to go: "Then let's find it together, there is a road in Shushan as a path, no matter how big the lake is, no matter how hard it is, you can find it." ”
"No problem! Let's go! ”
"Poof!" "Poof!" ……
A few splashes, and then the snoring sound of diving into the water, in fact, I don't know how to swim, but with the effect of avoiding water, I can breathe spontaneously in the water, without the threat of suffocation and choking, I am clumsy paddling, and I can actually swim in the water, it seems that the teacher once said, the main thing that can't swim is not to be able to adjust the breathing skillfully, this sentence makes sense.
The situation in the water is as Da Zhao said, it is very turbid, like muddy water that has been stirred, the distance that can be seen is only two or three meters away, and after swimming for a long time, there is not a single fish and shrimp, there is no algae, and the bottom of the lake is only rocks and mud, and occasionally the remains of an unknown animal can be seen.
A group of people searched in the water for nearly an hour, the sky was completely dark, and the sight in the water was even darker, and they could no longer continue the search, so they had to return to the ground for long-term consideration.
The third grandson held the fireball in his hand, the flames were swaying, but he could only shake his head and say: "No, the lighting effect can't be used normally, all the fire magic in the water can't be effectively used, even if the hand is used quickly, there can only be a burst of white smoke, and you can't even get out of a meter." ”
Si Li picked up the bow and arrows and snorted, showing off his might: "Let you continue to be arrogant at dawn, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, you should also eat and eat, look at our skills, there will be no impact in the water." After that, Si Li seemed to show off, drew his bow and arrows, and shot the arrows directly into the water, and the arrows crossed the dark water surface like meteors in the night sky, and disappeared in an instant, disappearing into the depths.
The casual action attracted Lao Bai's attention, and he stared at the lake tightly, thinking carefully.
"Let's go, it's not pleasant today, and I'll look for it tomorrow." Da Zhao helplessly spread his hands, turned around and wanted to leave, and they followed closely and turned around together.
"Wait!" Lao Bai shouted to the frustrated crowd.
Da Zhao and Lao Bai are old acquaintances, and he still knows Lao Bai, so he asked, "What?" Lao Bai, do you have an idea? ”
"Of course." In response to him, Lao Bai's calm and confident smile.
After speaking, Lao Bai took out his longbow, pulled the bowstring against the surface of the lake, the arrow came out of his hand, and an extremely bright lamp bloomed in the air.
Then, the [Sky Lantern Arrow] slowly fell into the water, in our incredible gaze, continued to sink, the original turbid water seemed to be eliminated from the blur, just standing on the shore of the lake, you can clearly see a large area in the water, and the impurities in the water that originally made us angry, under the illumination of the bright light, but as vast as the stars, countless fine floating, let us look fascinated, until the light fell deep, slowly dissipated.
The moon is cloudy and hangs a silver dome, but the evil water hides the stars.
Several people came back to their senses and looked at each other knowingly, and they all gave Lao Bai a thumbs up: "You are still careful, and you can actually use the characteristics of your professional skills so skillfully." ”
With such a bright light, the situation on the surface of the lake is clearer than that observed during the day, and it is unthinkable that the most suitable time to find it is actually the dark night that we can least think of.
Si Li and Lao Bai took us along the shore of the lake, walked a distance of nearly 100 meters, and each shot a [Sky Lantern Arrow], just like this, looking for it inch by inch, and finally at a distance of 300 meters to the left in the middle of the lake, the [Sky Lantern Arrow] in the water fell to the depths and disappeared at the moment, and the sharp-eyed three grandsons saw some clues.
"There was a pointed object in that place just now, looking at the shape, it looks like it was artificially carved, if you figure it out well, it should be similar to the top of a pagoda."
Hearing him say this, Si Li and Lao Bai shot the [Sky Lantern Arrow] again towards that place, and the two lights gathered to shine even more, this time we all clearly saw that at the bottom of the lake, there was a spire flashing by, appearing at the moment when the light faded.
"No wonder we have to find such trouble, the depth of the bottom of this lake is at most fifty or sixty meters, and the height of the spire is no more than five meters, it seems that most of the tower body should be buried in the underwater mud."
Lao Bai's inference has been unanimously agreed by us.
Da Zhao smiled: "I finally found the location of the pagoda, if I don't go down to take a look, I'm afraid I'll have insomnia to worry about at night." ”
"Haha, the hero sees the same thing."
After everyone discussed, it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, but it was better to go down today to find out.
A few people continued the effect of avoiding water, and then they went into the water hand in hand, because there was no light at all, and entering it was like falling into a boundless black hole, and there was no direction at all.
A few people stood on the spire, the height of the pagoda exposed in the mud was only a little more than four meters, and a small half of the top floor was exposed, barely accommodating one person at a time, and several people got into it one after another, and the pagoda seemed to have a layer of enchantment shelter, and it was not invaded by the lake water, and it was dry like an ordinary ground.
That's fine, at least the fireball and the torch of the third grandson can be used normally.
"Huh~"
The torches and fireballs were lit together, illuminating the surrounding space, and the top floor was the size of a middle school classroom, with dusty cobwebs hanging in the corners, and dust on the ground, but nothing else, except for an opening in the corner, which led to the stairs below.
Da Zhao walked over with a torch, poked his head out and looked down: "My God? Generally, the stairs of the pagoda should be one layer at a time, but this tower is strange, the stairs spiral all the way down, and there is no level of stay in the middle. ”
Such a strange architectural style also aroused our curiosity, and everyone looked at it in the past, which was indeed as Da Zhao said.
There is a small space in the middle of the spiral staircase that leads directly to the bottom, Da Zhao aimed the torch in his hand at the center, and with ease, the torch fell like a falling heavenly fire, whistling and falling down, illuminating the stairs along the way, and finally suddenly extinguished in an unknown place.
He turned around and said solemnly, "It's deep." ”
"It's okay, let's take a few steps slowly, and if the situation is not right, we will go back first." Erqian has always been bold, constantly urging Da Zhao to move forward.
The few of them walked slowly down the staircase, carefully walking to a depth of thirty or forty meters, and nothing else appeared along the way, except the mottled walls at hand, and the stairs full of wooden feeling.
"Wait!" Lao Bai at the back suddenly called out to us softly, and then we didn't dare to move anymore, but watched him slowly bend down, put his ear to the top of the stairs and listen quietly.
Then, Lao Bai raised his head suddenly, and his face became a little anxious: "Something is wrong!" Something is coming up! ”
"Back! Go back to the top first! ”
Everyone hurriedly turned around and rushed up the way they came, and the sound of the stairs being trampled by us was a little crisp.
"Click!"
"Ahhhh
The most unwilling to see the situation still happens, seeing that the platform on the top floor is in front of you, the front of Lao Bai took a step, the stairs suddenly couldn't bear the weight, and broke a lot, a group of people suddenly lost their center of gravity, and they all fell down and circled to the stairs on the next floor, fortunately, the quality of the stairs here is still passable, and we didn't fall to the bottom.
The torches had been extinguished, and I groped my way against the wall to stand up, and in the darkness I anxiously called out to them, "Are you all right!?" ”
"It's okay, damn it, I guess that place is set up as a trap, so we have no way out." Da Zhao lit a torch, grinned his teeth, and immediately turned his head to look at the stairs below, the firelight flickering, casting our shadows on the walls and stairs.
"Uhhhhhh
Suddenly, not far from below, there was a mournful wail, followed by the sound of slow footsteps going upstairs.
"Kick!" "Kick!" ……
Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and in the empty pagoda, the footsteps sounded so loud, and every step stepped on our hearts and shook our spirits.
Da Zhao slowly got up, holding a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other.
"Prepare for battle, something is coming up!"
