Uncle Ming was still hesitating, feeling that Shirley Yang was making a fuss, and he had to climb the steep rock if he didn't go, but the fat man and I knew that Shirley Yang had always been serious about this kind of thing, and never joked, since she was in a hurry to let everyone stay away, she must have found a sign of danger, not to mention that I had already seen it after what she said, the road on the mountain was indeed too smooth, not even a single weed, and it was definitely not the road that people walked.

Our position in the lake was very close to the smooth mirror-like road, and no matter what beasts rushed down from it, they couldn't resist it in the water, so we hurriedly grabbed Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang, used our hands and feet together, and swam to a green rock by the lake on the left.

Although the lake is densely forested, there are not many places to go ashore, only the smooth and abnormal road, the other two sides are cliffs with no top, and there is a large dark green boulder on the left, which is more than ten meters high, and you have to use some strength to climb up.

We swam to the bottom of the green rock, and as soon as we reached out and touched the cold stone wall, we heard the sound of rubble rubbing against the far end of the mountain road, as if some behemoth was rapidly crawling out of the depths of the mountain forest. The hearts of the people sank, and they heard the voice so quickly. Those who can use their bodies to grind the mountain road so smooth are either giant pythons and snakes, or fierce beasts such as "dragon king crocodiles" that inhabit the depths of Kunlun Mountain.

But there is a lot of moss on the greenstone, and the slope is steep, so the pickaxe is not handy. Shirley Yang's flying tiger claws could not be retrieved from the rucksack, so she found a hiking rope to tie a loop, and used the lassoness she had learned in Texas to attach the rope to a protruding stone.

Seeing that Uncle Ming's skills are not at all like a man in his fifties, like an old ape, he is worthy of being an old sailor who has been trained at sea for many years, and he can escape his life more quickly than anyone else, and he dragged the rope with a few clicks and climbed a natural boss in the middle of the green rock first. I, the fat man and Shirley Yang were holding Ah Xiang below and pushing her up, and Uncle Ming reached out and dragged Ah Xiang up.

When Shirley Young was helping to climb the rock, the stone with the rope had come loose, and the fat man pulled the rope and the stone into the water. By the time Shirley Young was preparing the rope again, the fat man and I could only hear a loud "bang" behind us and something had jumped down from the mountain into the lake.

Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming lowered the rope from the rock to meet us, and Uncle Ming saw the monster in the water from a high place. He has always had a problem, which may be a sign of Parkinson's syndrome, as soon as he is nervous, his hands are shaking badly, no matter what he holds in his hand, he can't hold it firmly, and he has to play the strings sooner or later, and the same is true at the moment, holding a rock wedge in his hand and trying to fix it in the rock crevice, suddenly he shuddered, and the rock pitons fell into the water.

As soon as the fat man's hands and I grabbed the climbing rope, we didn't expect that before we could exert ourselves, the whole ball of rope and pitons fell off. The fat man and I were so angry down there that we scolded Uncle Ming for being an Italian on our side, how could we do our best to help.

Shirley Young wanted to get another rope, but found that it was too late, pointed to the water and said, "Go to the underwater cave and hide first." ”

Although the fat man and I didn't know what the monster coming from the water was, it was certainly not easy to mess with, and the guy arrived in an instant, so we had no choice but to hold our breath and sink to the bottom of the lake. The lake is not deep, the water is clear, and the rocks at the bottom are white. There are some seepage holes at the bottom of the lake, and there are also several deep holes, which can be described as full of holes. The landforms here were formed by wind erosion before being flooded, and it is a special wind erosion lake. Tens of millions of years of vicissitudes of life have caused this huge wind erosion rock to sink to the bottom of the lake, and perhaps as soon as the life of this wind erosion lake arrives, all the wind holes below will collapse, and this lake water flowing out of the mountain will rush deeper into the ground, forming an underground waterfall.

In addition to the largest number of white-bearded scaleless fish, there were also some red-scaled schizophrenia, as well as long-tailed black schizophrenia, whether it was the explosion near the gate of calamity just now, or the monster that suddenly entered the water, these fish were obviously greatly frightened, and swam into the cave to hide. Whitebeard fish may be an offshoot of the catfish, which did not adapt to the underground environment until they reached the age of size, and the schools of fish that had entered the gate of disaster in a panic swam back one after another, risking being eaten by the monster rather than fleeing the wind-eroded lake with comfortable temperatures.

As soon as I sank into the water, I found that among the panicked fish, there was a five- or six-meter-long, four-legged thing, with large black and white markings on its body, resembling a monitor lizard, riveting at the bottom of the water, riveting at the bottom of the water.

In 1972, the fraternal troops who were working under the Maida Bucha Glacier in the Kunlun Mountains had dug up the frozen corpse of this beast in the ice, and some people wanted to make it into a specimen, but then for some reason they could not succeed. At that time, we also deliberately drove hundreds of miles of mountain roads, went there to visit, unbelievable, this thing is more ruthless than the dragon king crocodile, and the skin is rough and thick, even the rifle can not help it.

The fat man and I saw that the brindle Jiao was coming rapidly, and we were slightly stunned, and immediately sank to the bottom of the lake under a special-shaped wind erosion rock erected, and the hard triangular head of the brindle Jiao slammed into the rock, and immediately smashed the snow-white and fragile wind erosion rock into countless pieces, taking advantage of the situation to break through the water upward.

I was shocked, no, it wanted to jump out of the water to attack Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming on the greenstone. Suddenly, the water splashed, white foam flew sideways, and the spotted Jiao fell back into the lake heavily, and it seemed that it could not reach the prey on the rocks with the strength of its leap in the water. The spotted swoop then circled and swooped down, but it seemed to have no fixed target, scurrying around the lake, and the fish that had no time to escape were all bitten and chewed by it.

I took the opportunity to take two puffs of the fat man's oxygen cylinder, and took advantage of the chaos to hide with him in a wind tunnel at the bottom of the lake. There are also a lot of fish that have taken refuge here, and now we and the fish don't care about each other, so we have to hide from each other. Soon I understood the attempt of the spotted Jiao, it tossed in the lake non-stop, it was trying to drive out all the fish hiding in the wind tunnel, those white-bearded fish really couldn't stand the fright, swam out of the wind tunnel and scurried around, the spotted Jiao took the opportunity to kill, it seemed to have a blood feud with this group of fish, not simply to fill the stomach.

The whitebeard fish formed a fish formation earlier, probably to defend against this brutal natural predator.

The crystal clear water of the lake was soon stained red with the blood of the fish, and the lake was littered with bitten fish carcasses. The fat man and I hid in the wind tunnel and watched the thrill, and wanted to take the opportunity to escape back to the greenstone and climb up, but it would take at least half a minute to climb up, and if we hit this red-eyed spotted Jiao halfway, its speed in the water was faster than a torpedo, and if we couldn't rely on the favorable terrain to dodge, there was no chance of survival in the water or on land, so we had to wait patiently for the opportunity underwater.

There was not much oxygen left in the oxygen cylinder that the fat man carried, and he was ignoring it, but a more tragic scene suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake. Chasing the fish to bite the spotted Jiao, just swam to the wind tunnel where the fat man and I were hiding, at this time I saw the white shadow in the water mixed with blood flashing, the white-bearded old fish at the bottom of the lake, unconsciously appeared behind the spotted Jiao, twisted the body more than ten meters long, shook the head of the fish, and hit the only soft lower abdomen of the body. The brindle Jiao was knocked out of the water and flipped out of its head, twisted its strange body, rushed again, and bit the spine of the white-bearded old fish. Although this white-bearded fish has no scales, its skin has a kind of corrugated scales, and it is also very strong, especially this old fish has a huge body and hard scales.

The spotted Jiao relies on the tip of the teeth, thick skin, and sharp claws, while the white-bearded old fish has lived for many years, has rich experience, and has a long body and a large body, strong scales, and will not be fatal if bitten a few times, and the two sides are entangled together, and the fight is difficult to solve for a while. The whole lake is boiling, but there is a lot of water injected from the belly of the mountain, and the amount of water seepage from some leaky wind tunnels at the bottom of the lake is not small, so the bursts of blood mist disperse with the flow, and the water in the wind-eroded lake is always clear and transparent.

The fat man and I could see that this was a battle between two tigers, and they were fighting for the living space in the Wind Erosion Lake. Why do they fight you to death? Maybe it's because of the unique water quality of the wind-eroded lake? Maybe it's a feud between predators? We can't know this, but if you want to escape back to the lake, you have to take advantage of it now, and the two of them separately sucked up the last remaining oxygen in the oxygen tank, avoided the vicious fighting spotted Jiao and the white-bearded old fish in the lake, touched the wind erosion rock at the edge, and swam to the surface.

Shirley Yang looked down on the green rock in the lake far more clearly than we could see underwater, and when she saw us floating in the chaos, she put down the climbing rope, and this time she didn't dare to ask Uncle Ming to help again.

When I climbed the rock, I looked back and saw that the old fish had already gained the upper hand, and was using the fish head to push the spotted Jiao to the bottom of the lake and hit it, and the Zebra spat blood foaming in its mouth, and I couldn't support it. When I climbed the rock, I found that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and from the mountain path crawled out a larger brindle Jiao, the white-bearded old fish only cared about the sworn enemy in front of him, and was defenseless against the back, and was bitten by the gills of the fish from behind, and dragged it into the largest wind tunnel in the depths of the wind erosion lake.

It seemed that the battle for the throne of the Wind Erosion Lake was coming to an end, and the fat man wiped the water from his face and said, "When they are done biting, we have to hurry up and go down to catch some fish." Uncle Ming left the backpack behind the crystal wall, otherwise we would all be hungry tonight. ”

I said to the fat man, "It's too dangerous underwater, don't lose the dumplings for the sake of barley particles." I still have some food in my bag, we can follow the method taught by the chairman back then, eat dry when we are busy, eat thin when we are free, and eat half dry and half thin when we are not busy or idle, so that everyone can save a little food, and we can deal with it for three or two days. ”

The fat man said: "Only when you have the belly of eating tsampa can you have a brain that thinks about problems." I have to go down to fish for a while, how can there be idle time in this deep mountain and old forest, maybe what will happen next, and I will inevitably be angry when I go to the underworld to be a starving ghost. ”

Shirley Young watched the movement in the lake, and she obviously felt that the battle under the lake was far from over, and when she heard me and the fat man's words, she said to us, "You can't eat the fish here." The inhabitants of Evil Luohai City all disappeared overnight, and no one in the outside world knew what had happened. There are many legends about the destruction of the city of Narakae, and there is a legend that the soldiers and civilians in the city were turned into fish in the water. Although these legends are not very credible, it is true that there is a custom of not eating fish in Tibet since ancient times, and such a large group of white-bearded fish is indeed strange, so we better not ask for trouble......

In the water of the wind-eroded lake, tens of thousands of white-bearded fish suddenly appeared, densely packed together, as if they wanted to go to the bottom to rescue the old fish.

It was getting late and twilight, so I climbed to the top of the greenstone to get a better view, but the scene behind the greenstone was more shocking than the fierce battle of the fish in the lake. Behind the rock is a depression lower than the level of the wind erosion lake, an ancient city like a huge beehive, not to mention more than a dozen layers, abruptly sunken into it, surrounded by white flowers of wind erosion rock, and there are countless caves on it. This area is very different from the surrounding lush forests, and there is almost no vegetation. On the top of the beehive-like city, there is an eyeball mark made of boulders, is this the ancient legend of the evil Luohai City? I didn't feel the joy of arriving at my destination after a long journey, but I felt that the hairs were about to stand on end, because the city was not only brightly lit, but also dead.

Under the twilight of the city, there are countless lights in the city, which look very hazy in the mist, as if the inhabitants of the ancient city have lit candles and are ready to welcome the arrival of the night, but the city is as silent as death, and there is not the slightest sense of life. After just a few glances, I was already in a cold sweat, legend has it that the inhabitants of this city have disappeared inexplicably, and the reincarnation sect of later generations has also been extinct for hundreds of years, how can there still be lights in this city? The city, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, has no movement, and it seems that it is either a "dead city" or a "ghost city".

Just when I was amazed, the rest of the people also climbed to the top of the green rock one after another, and they, like me, were speechless for a long time when they saw this ancient city that existed in the two worlds of death and life.

Legend has it that Pompeii in Roman times was destroyed overnight due to a volcanic eruption, and later archaeological excavations found that when the inhabitants of the city died, they still retained the normal life they had at home.

However, in the ancient city in front of us, all the inhabitants in it seemed to have evaporated, and only the beehive-like evil Luohai City stood brilliantly in the twilight. It's so well preserved that it feels as if it's broken free from the shackles of time, and hasn't changed in thousands of years. What disaster has happened in this city?

We will inevitably think that this city is a "ghost sting", but after asking Ah Xiang, we got a negative answer, this devil's lair really exists, not a "ghost sting" created by the dead and undead.

We were about to discuss how to get into the city when we heard the water churning in the wind-eroded lake beneath the rocks. At this time, the sky is not yet dark, looking down from a high place, the whole picture of the glass-like clear wind erosion lake is vivid, the white-bearded old fish and the two spotted Jiao have been divided into winners and losers, thousands of white-bearded fish, in order to help their ancestors, desperately hit the spotted Jiao with their bodies under the water.

Whitebeard fish have a red spot on the top of their heads, which seems to be their strongest part, and their average size is about half a meter, and they bounce up in the water, enough to knock people out of blood. Although the pair of spotted Jiao was fierce and tenacious, and they didn't feel anything if they were hit by eight big fish out of ten, they couldn't stand the bombardment of tens of thousands of big fish, and the old fish took advantage of the situation to fight back, and the spotted Jiao couldn't resist, so it had to jump back into the woods on the shore, and the trees were knocked by them and disappeared in an instant.

The old fish with scaly wounds floating in the lake, its body was bitten off by the spotted Jiao, and a large piece of the gills were torn off. Its roe and fish grandchildren gathered around and blocked its wounds with their mouths, and the white-bearded fish gathered more and more, and in a few moments, they formed a fish formation again, and a large area of black pressure covered the surface of the wind-eroded lake.

I saw the fish array slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake, thinking that there must be such a fierce conflict between the whitebearded fish and the spotted Jiao, and the Zebra seems to just want to kill these fish schools, rather than simply hunting for food, but the fish schools are under the command of the king of fish, although the brindle Jiao is powerful, it is difficult to take any advantage. Could it be that the contradiction between them is just to snatch this rare wind erosion lake? What is so special about this lake? There may be a lot of ancient secrets involved, but I can't take care of these for now, so I will go to Luohai City before the sky is completely dark.
