Although the lake is vast, it is not too deep, and Ji Xiaoran and Zhou Xian are also very courageous, and they directly stepped on the water and walked onto the island from the shore.

Fortunately, both of them were still quite tall, and the deepest point they encountered along the way was not yet below their knees.

It was a sculpture, three meters tall, crudely but with the same charm: it looked like a woman, wearing a jade ring and a short shirt, her hands pressed to her chest, her eyes drooping, as if she was praying for something.

The moss growing on the statue told them that she had been here for many, many years.

"Someone has been here before?" Ji Xiaoran didn't think that this thing would be a naturally formed thing.

"But not like a man, like some kind of clawed beast." Zhou Xian pointed to the clothes on the statue, and the lines on it were probably not textures that could be carved, but the scratches of beast claws.

It is a stone statue carved out of a wild beast.

This conclusion made Zhou Xian subconsciously take a step back: to be able to carve, I think it is already a divine beast or a fierce beast that is about to transform, if the other party is still living in this cave, it is definitely not the object that he and Ji Xiaoran can deal with.

The cave, which had seemed peaceful and beautiful, was suddenly shrouded in an unknown and dangerous atmosphere.

Ji Xiaoran's entire attention was focused on the stone statue. For some reason, a sadness rose from the bottom of her heart, which made her reach out to touch the deep texture.

"Don't touch it!"

However, at the moment when Zhou Xian spoke, Ji Xiaoran had already put his palm on the stone statue. She turned her head to look at Zhou Xian in confusion, but found that the other party's face was full of panic, and her hand was immediately put down.

It's a pity that it was too late.

There seemed to be something sleeping in the stone statue that disturbed it, and there was a small chattering sound. An emerald green insect poked out an ant-like head in front of Ji Xiaoran, its tentacles curved, and its huge mouthparts opened and closed.

It crawled out of the moss on its feet, but its body behind it was like a wasp, with two pairs of membranous wings attached to its green-glowing hind chest, and the sharp thorn on its tail was also green.

The whole bug looks like it's the size of a human hand.

"Don't panic, slowly retreat into the lake." Zhou Xian grabbed Ji Xiaoran's clothes and pulled her to walk into the water little by little. If it's really a wasp, it's safe to enter the water. The knee-high water should be deep enough to submerge them.

But the first bug seems to be just the beginning. As it began to vibrate its wings, there was a sound of its shell breaking through the cave. Ji Xiaoran suddenly woke up, "Could it be that under those mosses just now, there are all this kind of bugs?!" But how can that little bit of moss hold such a big thing? ”

"Moss still needs some gray matter from the crevices of the rocks to grow. The big one, maybe there was a gap or cavity under the moss it was on that was big enough for it. Zhou Xian turned his head and swept the surroundings with his residual light, and a black mist had risen from the originally quiet stone forest area at this moment, and began to spread towards the center of the lake.

However, he noticed that the area where the water flowed through seemed to be much thinner in the black fog.

It seems that the current of water affects their growth, making them choose to sleep farther away from the water.

Maybe it was the wisest choice for them to choose to take the waterway just now, as if they were just messing around.

"Get in the water." Zhou Xian pulled Ji Xiaoran and started running. It was impossible to continue to move slowly, and there was a distance of tens of meters from the statue to the water's edge.

And as the two of them opened their legs, the insects on the statue also flapped their wings and soared into the air, and the buzzing sound followed closely behind them.

Regardless of whether they would be bruised by the stones at the bottom of the lake, the two of them directly dived into the water with turtle breath pills in their mouths, and their bodies were stuck to the bottom of the lake motionless, and the top of their heads was only twenty centimeters above the surface of the water.

The insect really stayed on the surface of the water, and although Ji Xiaoran didn't know where its eyes were, he felt that he had been locked. She stole a sideways glance over the water, which had been shrouded in an overwhelming black mist, with occasional bits of green light in between.

It seems that not all wasp bellies can glow. However, Ji Xiaoran dared to say that most of them had poisonous needles behind their tails.

Zhou Xian thanked him for the first time for military training, and learned the trick of crawling forward. He kept his body as close to the bottom as he could, moved his arms and legs to Ji Xiaoran's side, and made a forward gesture at her.

The bottom of the water is not smooth, but fortunately, both of them have long sleeves and long pants, although it is a little uncomfortable, but it does not scratch the skin. It wasn't fast, but it was a way around the islands and heading across the lake. Recommended ReadingTV//

Occasionally looking back, Zhou Xian found that although the edge of the black mist was somewhat dispersed, it basically stayed where they entered the water and did not move, thinking that it was also because the lake water blocked their perception.

But that doesn't mean he dares to come forward.

Looking at the time, the two of them moved in the water for nearly two hours, and the whole person felt that they were about to soak and swell, and finally touched the roots of the shrub that grew into the water.

The two of them cautiously poked their heads out of the water, trying not to make any noise as much as possible, one staring at the black fog on the island in the middle of the lake, while the other bent over to see if there was any running water on this side that could be carried through the bushes.

Due to the topography, this side is already the outlet of the lake. Ji Xiaoran found that at a distance of about fifty meters from the two of them, there was a gap in the bushes.

So the two of them dived back into the water, and when they were about to continue towards that side, they realized that the lake on this side was about half a meter deep, which was enough for Zhou Xian to swim.

He asked Ji Xiaoran to relax and suspend her body in the water, then took her hand and led her forward, finally making the speed of the two of them a little faster.

In fact, the water was pushing behind them. The lake gushes out of the gap here and pours into the waterway. Fortunately, the terrain has not changed too much, otherwise this surging water would have knocked the two of them directly to the bottom of the river.

However, the moss coverage on this side is far less than that on the other side. Seeing that the green light outside the river was gradually dimming, and the darkness came again, Zhou Xian pulled Ji Xiaoran and poked his head out on the bank.

"They're really patient." Ji Xiaoran's head showed out of the water, looking at the black fog that had not yet dispersed, "Aren't you tired of flying all the time?" ”

"Maybe they're also shifts?" Zhou Xian completely stood up from the water, and the river was already able to reach his waist.

The river continued to flow forward, directly into a large black mouth in the distance, and from it came the roar of the Great Drop Fall.
