Chapter 234: The Trial of the Heavenly Chosen (3)
……
Chu Xingyun had heard Situ Ran say that the mountain range where Taoyuan Town was located used to be a large active volcano!
Hundreds of millions of years ago, a meteorite fell into this crater with precision!
The energy from the massive impact and explosion enlarged the crater even more!
It also caused the magma in this volcano to erupt and erupt in all directions! Lava gushes out of the crater, draining all the magma from the active volcano and turning it into an extinct volcano...
The surrounding nutrient-rich volcanic rocks and ash soil have evolved over hundreds of millions of years, enriching the surrounding plants!
The wide crater has been moistened by hundreds of millions of years of rain, and has gradually formed today's Luoluo Lake, a rare alpine dammed lake environment...
And the meteorite that fell into this meteorite lake hundreds of millions of years ago is the target that Chu Xingyun needs to find in today's "Heavenly Chosen Trial"...
The bottom of the lake and the surface of the lake are completely different views...
The sun is shining outside the lake, the lake is rippling, and the scenery is pleasant...
But the bottom of this lake is as dark as ink, and the further you go to the bottom, the lower the visibility, Chu Xingyun has only dived for more than ten meters, and he already feels that he can't see his five fingers...
He had no choice but to reach out and turn on the diving searchlight he was wearing on his head, and the bright light suddenly illuminated the range of dozens of meters in front of Chu Xingyun, and also allowed him to see the situation in the lake clearly...
It's unusually quiet underwater, there aren't many fish swimming around, and none of the fish are too big...
The bottom of the entire Falling Lake is in the shape of a funnel, and the deepest part in the middle is pitch black, and I don't know how deep it is...
He could get a glimpse of the bottom of the lake on the shore around him...
Most of the bottom of the lake on this shore is covered with a layer of black-brown rock, which is probably the volcanic rock produced by the cooling of volcanic magma hundreds of millions of years ago...
There aren't many aquatic plants underwater, and it's completely different from the business outside...
The desolate black-brown volcanic rocks at the bottom of the lake, the scattered aquatic plants, and the few thin fish schools give people a sense of desolation and barrenness...
Chu Xingyun looked around, and then he didn't think about it anymore, now that he didn't have much time left, he had to find that meteorite as soon as possible!
Although the bottom of the lake is desolate, there are really a lot of stones!
Chu Xingyun casually glanced at it and saw more than a dozen stones of different shapes, a few of which looked strangely shaped, and the surface was as smooth as a meteorite outside the sky...
But if it was so easy to be found by himself, then how could it be that over the years, countless people with strong martial arts skills had participated in this Heavenly Chosen Trial, and it was impossible for them not to find this stone near the shore...
Chu Xingyun kicked the water a few times, and his body swam in the water as fast and dexterous as a fish, thanks to the pair of finned diving boots that Brother Situ made for himself!
In a few clicks, he swam to the stones that he had thought were meteorites, and lifted up the strange stones that were not usually the usual ones...
Although the stone looks huge, even if it is lifted in the water, it feels very light, not like the weight of a meteorite...
Chu Xingyun shook his head, although he didn't know what this meteorite looked like, one thing was certain, it could pass through the atmosphere from space, and the weight of this meteorite would definitely not be light...
These rocks are so light, it is estimated that they are just strangely shaped volcanic rocks...
Chu Xingyun glared at his flipper boots a few times and searched along the bottom of the lake's shore...
But he couldn't find a stone that he thought might be a meteorite...
Without any clue, he looked at the watch on his wrist, and half an hour had passed!
It seems that after so many years of Heavenly Chosen trials around this shore, it is estimated that there will be no gains, and I can only go to the depths of the lake to find out!
After making up his mind, Chu Xingyun swam straight to the depths of the pitch-black lake in front of him...
It's like a funnel, and I don't know how deep the bottom of the lake is, and I don't know where the deepest place is...
I heard that no one has been able to go down to the deepest part of the lake for hundreds of years since the town was founded, and even if a person with strong martial arts goes down to the bottom of the lake, he can't stand the huge water pressure and is forced to give up...
I don't know how long I swam, but I still couldn't see the bottom of the lake, the surroundings were as dark as ink, and the range that searchlights could reach was gradually shrinking, but the surrounding water pressure was getting bigger and bigger...
Chu Xingyun only felt that his chest was starting to feel a little tight, and his ears were ringing, it seemed that he was already a little deep here...
I don't know how deep it is to see the bottom, and Chu Xingyun has also looked at a lot of stones along the way, but it doesn't feel like an extraterrestrial meteorite...
Just when I was at a loss, the watch on my wrist suddenly vibrate!
Chu Xingyun pressed the button on the watch and turned off the alarm clock on the watch, knowing that this alarm clock was a reminder that an hour had passed, and the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder was about to run out...
Chu Xingyun looked ahead, took another deep breath, and continued to swim forward...
He also wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was some oxygen in this oxygen tank and continue to investigate...
Chu Xingyun swam deep along the bottom of the lake, the bottom of the lake is funnel-shaped, the bottom surface is very smooth, and the angle is almost 50° inclination, just like the usual slide, but now Chu Xingyun is sliding forward with his head forward and his feet backwards...
While others searched the bottom of the lake for meteorites, their minds were thinking...
Now the oxygen tank is about to run out of oxygen, but the meteorite doesn't know where it is, the time of this trial is only half over, and it can't be wasted like this, and when it really doesn't work, I will go out to take a breath, unload the oxygen tank behind me and go into battle lightly, and dive down to find it by relying on internal force, as long as I run slowly, the internal force should not be so painful...
Chu Xingyun, who had made up his mind, searched forward for a while, until he couldn't breathe in the oxygen tank behind him, and then kicked the bottom of the lake with his flipper boots, and the whole person swam straight to the water...
……
The people of Taoyuan Town on the lake waited on it for more than half an hour, but they didn't see Chu Xingyun exposed to the water, and they all estimated that it was because of the strange jar he was carrying behind his back, and they were also looking forward to Chu Xingyun's Heavenly Election Trial...
Especially since everyone knows the content of the "Heavenly Machine Treasure Scroll" just now, many people also hope that someone can find the meteorite at the bottom of the lake, complete the trust given to Taoyuan Town by the mysterious sages hundreds of years ago, and complete Taoyuan Town's own fate...
Just when everyone was anxiously looking around the lake, there was a poof, and Chu Xingyun surfaced with a diving mask!
As soon as he came out of the water, he hurriedly took off his mask, then opened his mouth and breathed heavily, and then removed the oxygen tank behind his back with both hands...
When he took off his mask, he realized that he was not far from the Juyi Hall, which was built in shallow water although it was close to the lake...
