Chapter 257: The Mysterious Lake

Li Ming climbed onto the rock, stood beside the waning moon Mulan, and looked at this mysterious lake curiously.

The blue surface of the lake originally looked like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the canopy, but at this time, there was a constant breeze blowing, and the lake surface was sparkling, and the golden sun was shining, turning into a gorgeous scene of late golden light.

"Hong Shao, you should have explored the bottom of the lake, what is the situation?" Li Ming asked.

"The water in the lake is very deep, and depending on our diving ability, as long as it drops below 100 meters, the system will warn you." Tian Xinhong said.

"Is it a safety warning?" Wanyue Mulan asked.

"Yes, the bottom of the 100-meter lake is already the limit of players in the virtual world, and then it will enter the mandatory warning countdown, and if you don't return to the safe area after 10 seconds, you will be judged to die immediately by the system!" Tian Xinhong said.

"But the bottom of the lake must never be lower than 100 meters deep." Li Ming asked.

"Yes, the bottom of the lake is like a bottomless pit, the shallowest part of the lake is only 3 meters deep, but the first 5 meters is a steep ridge, and the depth below is more than 100 meters!" Tian Xinhong nodded.

"No, in that case, exploring the bottom of the lake won't work at all!" Wanyue Mulan said in surprise.

"Don't worry, Boss Mulan, my people have been studying this lake, the more strange the terrain, the more hidden something inside, after careful study by our people, it was found that if you want to dive deeper to the bottom of the lake, you can only use a strange monster in this lake." Tian Xinhong smiled and stretched out his hand and took out a strange prop from the hand of a player next to him.

It was a white bulging skin bag, as if it was full of things, and it looked very strange.

"Is this a balloon, but how is it oblate?" Wanyue Xinqing asked curiously.

"Qing Meinu is half right, this is a prop that bursts out after killing a strange fish at the bottom of the lake, called bubble swim bladder, and consumes props at one time." Tian Xinhong replied with a smile.

"It's just a fish bubble, and it's really strange that you can burst out by killing a strange fish." Wanyue Mulan said in surprise.

"Inflatable swim bladder, one-time consumption prop...... Could it be that this is a special item for the system to dive into the deep lake? Li Ming's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.

"I still understand that my brother reacts the fastest, this is after entering the bottom of the lake, as long as the system warning appears, a swim bladder can last ten minutes to continue diving, but the strange fish is fierce, and the probability of bursting the swim bladder is too low, so during this time, our people have been thinking about trying to kill the strange fish, collect as many of these swim bladders as possible, and wait for the opportunity to dive to the bottom of the lake to check the situation." Tian Xinhong nodded and said.

"I can't get used to your cover-up methods, so since I have thought of a way, I will say it sooner." Wanyue Mulan snorted coldly.

"This ......" Tianxinhong was speechless.

"How many swim bladders has Hong Shao prepared now?" Li Ming asked excitedly.

Now that we've found a way to dive to the bottom of the lake, it's up to us to see how the preparations for the Tianxin Alliance are going......

"Fortunately, the brothers have worked hard in the past three days, and they have gathered 54 swim bladders, and if the number is smaller, it should be no problem to enter the bottom of the lake." Tian Xinhong said with a smile.

It took three days to prepare 54 swim bladders, which shows how rare the probability of this kind of prop should be.

Li Ming was very satisfied, at least this would allow him to find out the secrets at the bottom of the lake as soon as possible.

"If it weren't for the fact that Brother Ming wanted to explore the bottom of the lake this time, I would be reluctant to take it out for everyone to use." Tianxinhong glanced at the waning moon Mulan, and the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.

"Then thank you, Grand Duke." Wanyue Mulan snorted coldly and said.

"There are only a limited number of swim bladders, so in order to ensure that we can get to the bottom of the lake, the number of people who go in this time must be as small as possible." Li Ming pondered.

"Okay, let's go down and have a look first." Wanyue Mulan said dryly.

"Three people...... Okay, each of you will take 18 of them, remember, you have to wait until the system warning appears before you can use them, so as not to waste them. Tian Xinhong immediately took all the consumable items from the players around him and sent a transaction application to the two.

"Okay, don't be verbose, let's go down and see how it goes." Wanyue Mulan said lightly.

Tian Xinhong has been enduring her cynicism, which made Li Ming even more interested in the historical grievances of the two guilds.

After accepting the trade application, 19 fish bladders entered his package, and it seemed that there was one more number, but looking at Tianxinhong's dark eyes, he no longer asked questions.

"Okay, you guys are here to be on guard, and the three of us will dive down to see the situation at the bottom of the lake first." Wanyue Mulan waved her hand and asked all the players of Wanyue Tower to wait on the spot.

"Be careful, the strange fish at the bottom of the lake are very fierce, and the chance of us jumping down from here and encountering them is very small, but it is also possible to be discovered by them, once targeted by the strange fish, only by continuing to dive into the depths of the lake can we get rid of their entanglement!" Tian Xinhong finally reminded.

"Got it, get ready for action." Li Ming nodded and replied.

The three men stood on the rock, took a deep breath, and then jumped forward in unison......

Poof!

Three columns of water rushed up in a row, and the three people disappeared into the surging splash of water, and never floated again......

Gollum!

The bottom of the lake is full of bubbles, just jumped into the lake, the surrounding environment is still very clear, you can see Tianxinhong and Wanyue Mulan are constantly diving down beside you.

Li Ming also quickly held his breath and continued to swim headfirst towards the depths of the lake.

Slowly, the sun grew farther and farther away, and the bottom of the lake was quiet.

But the bottom of the lake is still bottomless, and dozens of meters away has turned into an inky black.

This is, Li Ming was surprised to find that Tianxinhong took out a spar that emitted yellow light, which seemed to be the glowing stone on the stone wall seen in the underground palace, but he didn't expect that he actually got a piece to be used for lighting at the bottom of the lake.

This guild leader is really powerful, and anyone can think of such a method.

With this yellow spar, a yellow halo can always be seen flickering in the darkening lake.

Li Ming and Wanyue Mulan followed closely behind him, swimming together towards the deeper bottom of the lake......

Soon, the three of them quickly dived to the depth of the lake nearly 100 meters, and the sunlight could no longer shine in, leaving only the dark bottom of the lake like night, and this yellow light could illuminate the environment within ten meters nearby.

Players can enjoy diving in the virtual world more than in the real world, where they can't hold their breath for more than a few minutes, but in the virtual world, this function is enhanced at least three times.

However, in order to ensure the safety of players, the system still sets some mandatory precautions to avoid accidents.

When diving to a depth of 100 meters, the bottom of the lake is still pitch black, and I don't know how deep it is.

Bite...... System "Warning! Players clearly understand that you have exceeded the system limit diving distance, please return immediately, after 10 seconds of countdown, if you are not in a safe area, the system force system will be activated immediately, your character will die immediately, and all the consequences will be borne by you!

……

Swish!

In the white light, a red number with a 10-second countdown warning appeared in front of him.

"Use the props!" Tianxinhong's warning voice sounded in the team channel.

Although it is a diving state, it does not affect the player's team communication, but it is impossible to speak through the public channel.

At the same time as Tianxinhong issued a warning, Li Ming was horrified to find that in the dim lake water, there seemed to be several huge black shadows rushing towards the three of them......

The strange fish at the bottom of the lake have finally found them!
