Volume 4 Embattled Chapter 24 Smoke Curling
Kuroko walked in the direction indicated by the light, we followed, walking and walking, Kuroko picked up a few stones from the ground from time to time, and when he reached the designated position, I saw that he suddenly threw out the stones in his hand one after another with different strengths, and the stones touched the surface of the lake, without making any sound, straight as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and the lake was still undisturbed. The same is true for all thrown stones.
Kuroko turned around and took out the green knife and walked quickly to the woods behind him, and after a while, he walked back holding the trunk of the tree with one hand, "You guys get out of the way, I want to see what the situation is like in this big lake!" ”
The trunk of the tree entered diagonally from the shore, and little by little it sank into it, until the trunk of more than 20 meters long reached the end, and no movement was felt at the bottom.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, how could this thing in front of them, which looked like a lake and was definitely not a lake, seem to be bottomless, and what kind of backwater lake would have a depth of tens of meters? Not the sea?
Seeing that there was no way to detect the bottom of the lake, Kuroko was ready to retrieve the trunk, but when he used a force in his hand, he stepped back and wanted to pull out the trunk, but it was obvious that there was a huge suction force in the lake that fixed the part of the trunk that was submerged in the water, making it quite difficult even if the force was as strong as Kuroko.
When the fat man saw this scene, he immediately put down the miner's lamp and stepped forward to help, we were stunned at first, and then stepped forward together. In this way, the ten people seemed to be in a tug-of-war competition with the big lake, and as the minutes passed, everyone had bruises on their faces and arms, and they really couldn't imagine what was in that lake, how they could have so much strength.
With the strength of ten of us to carry a ton of heavy objects, we are only going to drag a little bit out.
Half an hour later, with the fat man shouting "up". Everyone immediately threw all their might, and then pulled the entire trunk out with a 'boom'.
As soon as the trunk of the tree reached the land, everyone couldn't care about the almost breathless exhalation, so they hurriedly picked up the miner's lamp and shone it on the trunk.
However, at a glance, there was no noteworthy trace on the trunk at all, and even when Taro carefully stretched out his finger and touched the surface of the trunk, he didn't feel the slightest bit of wetness, as if he had just been inserted into an empty chaos.
The whole trunk of the tree looked as if it had just been cut off by Kuroko, and when they saw it, everyone had to wonder what was in that lake.
The monkey was scared and said, "I think it's better for us not to go down." ”
Kuroko looked at the trunk back and forth carefully with a serious face, and then said for a while, "Let's stop here tonight, and look at it tomorrow during the day, I think, even if there is a passage in the lake, the teacher and they have already been taken to other land, and it should be impossible to live at the bottom of the lake." ”
I glanced up at the mountains on three sides, and in fact I should say that there were mountains on all sides, but the large lake took up a lot of area, and the high mountain on the other side of the lake seemed a little far away.
In the middle of the night, there was not much time left for us to sleep, but everyone still took a break in shifts, and when the dawn came the next day, they all woke up, I don't know if it was because of the excitement in my heart to destroy those black shadows, or because in such an environment, I really couldn't sleep steadily.
The fat man prepared breakfast slowly, and everyone quickly finished eating, and they were about to get ready to work, but at this moment, the smoker glanced inadvertently, but found that the village did not know when there was curling smoke, as if every household was cooking on the fire.
Pang Qinghe looked at the houses in a daze, and only after a while did he exclaim, "What's the matter?" (To be continued......)
