358 lakes

Chen Si was also secretly thinking about what would be at the end of this passage along the way. But when he saw a huge lake, he couldn't help but be shocked. Xiao Zhonghua took a few steps forward, and immediately used a high-intensity searchlight to shine on the surface of the water, trying to survey how wide the surface of the lake was. But what shocked him was that the searchlight could not reach the opposite shore of the lake, and after looking around, everyone found that the lake was only a little lower than the passage, and there was no feasible road on both sides of the passage, and on both sides were cliffs as high as a thousand feet, and it was obviously impossible to climb up from these two sides.

Chen Si frowned and carefully observed the cliffs on both sides to see if there were any traces left. Qiu Huiyan had already appeared on this passage twice, and if she had left from the cliffs on both sides, it would definitely leave some traces.

But what disappointed him was that the cliffs on both sides were extremely smooth and nourished by water vapor, and the cliffs were covered with slippery moss.

"There's no way here?" Tang Maiqiu was also puzzled, and said, "Are we going to wade through the water?" He looked worried, he had already learned from the effective range of the searchlight how large the underground lake was, and it would have been a great effort to swim through, which was not what he was most worried about. I don't know how deep this lake is, and I don't know if there are any monsters hidden in the water. Tang Maiqiu, who had already seen the endless dangers in the Great Forbidden Land, naturally would not be careless about this seemingly calm lake.

The panther didn't speak, he looked at Chen Si, hoping that Chen Si could give some reasonable explanations. The thoughts in his heart are similar to Tang Maiqiu's, and the combat effectiveness of his subordinates is not as good as Xiao Zhonghua and the others, if they go into the water and encounter danger, the Rui soldiers can only become a shield to cover Chen Si's men.

Chen Si thought for a moment, and then said; "No, it shouldn't be like that, maybe this passage is underwater." He thought of the hidden city, the altar was hidden underwater, using the energy released by the continuous reaction of the soil in the phoenix gall with the substance to maintain a strange space to protect the safety of the altar, until Liu Wensheng took away the phoenix gall, the remaining power of the soil suddenly condensed the lake into an ice wall, lifting the altar out of the water. The whole design concept is ingenious, and it is difficult to be able to do such a high-tech and energy-intensive work in modern times.

"At the bottom of the lake?" When the panther heard this, his brow furrowed. He didn't want to let Rui Shi go into the water at all, but if the Burning Spirit Palace was really at the bottom of the lake, then he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.

"Not bad. I've done research on this type of building. Chen Si coughed and said slowly. He and Qin Chuan had accidentally found a Eight Wonders near Dunhuang, and the Eight Wonders were recorded with this information, only a few of the contents were very vague, and the records were not detailed, so they needed to figure it out, if Qin Chuan and Chen Si worked together, plus both of them were first-class talents, it would not be difficult to investigate all these secrets, but the two of them finally became mortal enemies, and they were afraid that the other party would know what they had learned, and they had been hidden for thousands of years, so both of them had achievements, but they were not comprehensive. There are even many places where the research of the two of them is still in a blank state, such as the lake in front of them, Chen Si and Qin Chuan did not expect it to appear, so when Chen Si was stunned, the black panther was more worried than him.

Chen Si continued: "We have to send someone into the water to take a look, first explore the situation under the water, what do you think?" Chen Si looked at Tang Maiqiu and the black panther with a look of asking for advice.

Tang Maiqiu naturally thought that this was a good idea, and the black panther also nodded yes, it was much safer to shoot people down than for everyone to go into the water without knowing what the underwater situation was.

"I'll get down." Tang Maiqiu said: "My underwater skills are good, and I can hold my breath for about ten minutes. Chen Si nodded, he knew Tang Maiqiu's skills, Tang Maiqiu was always better than others. I'm also one of them, and I'm also the best among the sharps. "The panther didn't worry about the sharps going into the water, so he also took the lead in hugging the name. Chen Si smiled and said, "Okay, since you two have gone down, then I'll go too." Chen Si knew that the black panther was also forcing him to go down together, the black panther was not worried that Chen Si and a large group of subordinates were on it, and he really didn't know what Chen Si would do to that group of sharp men behind his back.

Neither the panther nor Tang Maiqiu objected. Chen Si suddenly turned his head to look at Shan Zifeng, who was gray-headed and gray-headed in the middle of the crowd, and said, "Mr. Shan, the natural underground spring water, come down and take a bath, right?" "When Shan Zifeng heard Chen Si's ridiculous voice, a burst of yin vulture flashed in his eyes, but soon he recovered his panicked appearance and said, "No, I'm not familiar with water."

Chen Si didn't pay attention to him, and said to Xiao Zhonghua: "Old Xiao, I'll leave this to you, if something comes out of the water, start firing, and if you can't beat it, you will pull it out." Don't worry about my safety, my life is a small one. ”

Xiao Zhonghua nodded casually and said, "Okay." It's not that he doesn't care about Chen Si, and he also knows that Chen Si's life is really hard, as long as he doesn't want to die, nothing can kill him.

The black panther also gave orders to Ruishi, but they communicated in code, Chen Si couldn't understand it, but he could also hear it, and asked Ruishi to guard against Xiao Zhonghua and others. Chen Si grinned and slowly started to warm up. Tang Maiqiu leaned down and probed the water with his hand, he suddenly frowned and said; "It's strange, this water is actually hot, I'm afraid it's about 20 degrees."

Chen Si nodded and said, "That's right, the Burning Spirit Palace is down there, can it not be hot?" Tang Mai nodded silently, but then asked: "The water surface is so hot, I'm afraid the temperature below is even more problematic, everyone should pay attention, the water temperature is high, the less oxygen in the water, and the less time we can hold our breath." ”

Black Panther and Chen Si both nodded silently. They have all practiced qigong, all of them are not weak, they can use the pores on their bodies to simply ventilate, although they cannot replace the breathing function of the mouth and nose, but they can draw a little oxygen from the water, although it is not much, but it can make them extend a little time.

"Hey, don't go down yet, see what's in the water?" Xiao Zhonghua, who was holding a large searchlight, suddenly shouted loudly. I saw that the calm surface of the lake suddenly stirred up the slightest waves, and then slowly started from the center of the lake, some water currents slowly formed, and then a small whirlpool gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
