Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 66 The Bottom of the Lake
Zheni soon discovered the problem of these dead bodies, their heads were facing the lake in front of them, this law Changling had also discovered, but unfortunately, he could not solve the reason for this.
Zheni looked at the lake, it was a round lake, no different from the outline of other lakes, except that the water in the lake was all black, and there was not a trace of ripples in the lake, some like a semi-solidified liquid.
At this time, Taizhang and Zhou Chang walked over one after the other.
"What did you find?" Taizhang asked lightly as he stared at Zhennie.
Seeing that Zhen Nie didn't answer himself, Taizhang pointed to the lake and said, "Don't you think this lake is very strange?"
Zhen Nie came back to his senses and said to Taizhang: "It's not strange, I only know when I look closer." ”
As he spoke, he walked forward again, and suddenly stopped when he was a meter away from the lake.
Seeing this, Taizhang also followed, Zhou Chang saw that the two of them had gone, although he was a little afraid of the weirdness of the lake, but there were two powerful companions, he felt a little at ease, and had the courage to follow.
Taizhang walked to Zhennie's side, and when he saw that he had no intention of walking towards the lake, he couldn't help frowning, "How can you get closer?"
Zheni didn't answer Taizhang, just looked at the lake with a solemn expression.
Although Taizhang is very smart, after all, he is young and vigorous, and when he saw that Zhe Nie refused to reveal a little information, he was slightly annoyed and walked towards the lake.
At this time, Zhou Chang also walked over, saw Taizhang walking towards the lake, remembered that the beasts in the water had disappeared inexplicably, and couldn't help but run quickly behind Taizhang, grabbed his shoulder, and reminded him that the lake was weird.
Taizhang pushed Zhou Chang away and said coldly: "If you are afraid, don't follow." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the lake in two steps, and lowered his head to look at the dark lake.
The calm surface of the lake reflects Taizhang's figure, which is no different from other lakes.
Just when Taizhang was thinking like this, he suddenly found that the shadow reflected on the surface of the lake had disappeared, and a looming human hand was floating up and down in the lake.
"So, what is that. Without waiting for Taizhang to think about it, Zhou Chang on the side exclaimed.
Taizhang glanced at Zhou Chang, and when he looked down at the lake, the human hand was gone. However, his shadow was no longer reflected on the lake.
Taizhang frowned, suddenly turned around and walked back, came to a wild wolf that had not completely rotted, endured the bad smell, hugged the wild wolf, and walked towards the lake.
Coming to the lake, Taizhang threw the rotting wolf into the lake.
The carcass of the wild wolf rose and fell on the surface of the lake a few times, and suddenly, several delicate gray hands stretched out from the surface of the lake, grabbed the carcass of the wild wolf, and pulled it down violently, and the body sank into the lake.
Seeing this strange scene, a cold sweat broke out on Taizhang's forehead, thinking that if he reached out to touch the lake, he would also be pulled down.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at Zhennie, and the orc was also looking at him, with schadenfreude in his eyes.
Seeing Zhe Nie's eyes, Tai Zhang couldn't help but point at Zhe Nie and said angrily: "You already know what you are?"
Zheni didn't pay attention to Taizhang's angry reprimand, but slowly walked towards the edge of the lake, "Don't you think the color of this lake is very similar to a place?"
Zhe Nie's words made Taizhang stunned, he frowned, and suddenly thought of something, "You mean the Black Sea?"
Zheni nodded, "In the past 10,000 years, many fishing boats have salvaged the bones of many animals near the Black Sea, and judging from the shape of those animal bones, they are clearly beasts in the mountains. Why they appeared near the Black Sea has long been a mystery. However, I suspect that the bones of those animals must have something to do with this strange black lake. ”
Taizhang had also heard about the salvage of countless animal bones in the Black Sea, and he still believed in Zhennie's speculation. However, he quickly denied Zheni's speculation: the Black Sea is in the far sea in the far west, at least 10,000 miles away from the 100,000 barren mountains in the extreme south, and even if there is an undercurrent at the bottom of the lake to the sea, it is impossible to flow into the Black Sea.
He expressed his suspicions, Zheni nodded, and replied: "I have already thought of this, but at such a long distance, it does not have to pass through the underground undercurrent, there is also a possibility, which is a kind of spatial teleportation power. ”
He couldn't help but smile when he saw Taizhang's expression of disbelief, "Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? However, I did see about spatial teleportation in the books of the Elven Race's Tree of Knowledge. However, that is the ability of the ancient gods, and I think this lake may be related to the ancient gods. ”
Spatial teleportation is not the same as the teleportation technique of the human god mage: teleportation, which can only teleport people or objects to the space that can be seen by the naked eye, and spatial teleportation, which can teleport people or objects to all known spaces that exist on the continent.
When Taizhang was in the Shuangsheng Mountain, he had also heard some people talk about spatial teleportation, which sounded a little incredible, but it did exist on the ancient continent.
"Didn't you say that this lake was formed not long ago, how did it have anything to do with the ancient gods?" Zhou Chang's words interrupted Zhe Nie and Tai Zhang's contemplation.
Zhen Nie glanced at Zhou Chang and said calmly: "For me, there is no difference between the morning and evening when this lake is formed. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lao Feng, who was still in the scorched land in the distance, "It's just that some people must convince him that this lake has just formed, otherwise, your fat brother is in danger." ”
Zhou Chang heard Zhennie say this, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.
As soon as the words fell, Zhe Nie's brows suddenly frowned, his eyes flashed a trace of weirdness, he bent down and squatted by the lake, looking at his own reflection on the lake, a little obsessed.
Taizhang stood up straight, frowning at Zhennie's back, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.
Zhou Chang didn't know why Taizhang looked at Zhe Nie with such eyes, but he also felt that Zhe Nie seemed to be hiding a lot of unspeakable secrets. However, who does not have some little secrets in his heart, and people are unwilling to say it, and they will not look at the eyes of the enemy with such eyes, and look at each other!
Just as Zhou Chang was thinking about it, Zhen Nie found that the shadow reflected on the lake had disappeared, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a little fanaticism appeared in his eyes, which was too far from his usual calm and steady demeanor. Fortunately, he had his back to Zhou Chang and Taizhang, and if the two of them saw his expression, they would definitely be shocked.
Just as Zhenie had a strange expression on his face, suddenly he stretched out his hands into the lake.
Just as Zhennie's hands touched the surface of the lake, a pair of delicate gray human hands also reached up from the bottom of the lake and grabbed his hands.
Zhene seemed to realize something, and let out a startled cry. With his scream, his body was jerked away by his gray hands.
Seeing this, Taizhang pounced and grabbed Zhennie's feet.
However, the strength of those hands was very strong, and Taizhang's body also stuck to the ground and slid towards the lake.
Taizhang glanced back at Zhou Chang, who was still stunned, and shouted, "Zhou Chang, don't come over and help." ”
Zhou Chang was shouted at by Taizhang like this, and suddenly came back to his senses, ran over quickly, and grabbed Zhennie's waist with both hands.
As soon as Zhou Changgang grabbed Zhen Nie's waist, before he could react, he was dragged into the lake along with Zhen Nie.
Zhou Chang, who fell into the lake, was immediately grabbed by several pairs of delicate and gray human hands, and he couldn't struggle at all, and choked on several mouthfuls of foul-smelling lake water.
He couldn't care about the others anymore, his body kept shaking, and he was making his last struggle.
But the more he struggled, the tighter the clasps became, and his wrists and ankles were bloodied.
Zhou Chang's pain had been invaded by fear, and he didn't feel the slightest pain, he wanted to bend his body to the left and bite the hand that grabbed his left hand.
However, as soon as the body bent, I felt my body sink sharply, and my newly opened mouth was poured into the foul-smelling lake.
Zhou Chang's body sank, unable to struggle at the bottom of the lake, coupled with the feeling of suffocation that he couldn't breathe, made him feel that his life had come to an end.
When he felt that death was coming, he found that the hands he was holding were a little loose, he shook his feet violently, and easily broke free of the hand he was grasping, turned over, and was about to swim upwards, when suddenly he found a face in front of him.
Although the bottom of the lake was dark, there was a faint white light around the face, and it was barely clear to see.
The strange face was twice as big as ordinary people, very white and a little puffy, it seemed to be due to the fact that it had been soaked in the lake for many years, there was no hair, the eye sockets were sunken inward, and the hollow seemed to have no eyeballs at all, but Zhou Chang could feel that he could see himself.
The strange face has no ears and a pointed nose. There were no lips, and Bai Sensen's teeth were exposed. The jaw is surprisingly pointed, like a sword, and it looks like it can thrust a person to death.
Although he couldn't see the body of the strange face, Zhou Chang could feel that the body of the strange face was hidden in the dark lake water.
Zhou Chang couldn't help but shudder when he saw this strange face, he turned his body and swam in the other direction, but he found that there was also an equally strange face behind him, which was almost exactly the same as the face he saw before.
Zhou Chang simply closed his eyes, straightened his body, and swam upward.
However, he felt that he had been swimming for a long time, but he had not yet broken through the surface of the lake, and what made him even more strange was that he could hold his breath at the bottom of the lake for so long.
He swam upwards for about ten more minutes, and finally couldn't help but open his eyes, and when he saw the strange face in front of him, he almost cried.
He paddled the lake and turned around, but in front of him was a strange face with white light shining all around, and his sunken and hollow eyes were staring straight at him.
I don't know where the courage came from, Zhou Chang slammed his hands back, and the thrust of the lake drove his strange face forward.
As his body swam, Zhou Chang's right hand reached for his back, drew his iron sword, and stabbed at the strange face.
Seeing that the iron sword in Zhou Chang's hand was about to stab that strange face, suddenly, a powerful undercurrent surged from the front, and Zhou Chang was hit by that undercurrent and overturned several times.
When Zhou Chang stabilized his figure, all the strange faces disappeared.
Zhou Chang didn't have the heart to think about it, he inserted the iron back into his back, and his hands were desperately slicing upward.
I don't know how long I swam, but suddenly, I felt like something was entangled in my feet. He arched his head down, reached out and touched his feet, and he felt the thin, slippery thread-like thing without roots, like aquatic weeds, but it felt more resilient than aquatic weeds.
Although he couldn't see what it was in the pitch-black lake, Zhou Chang could feel that it must be those strange faces that were doing something. So, he stretched out his right hand and pulled out the iron sword behind his back, and with the other hand he grabbed the thing that looked like a water weed, and then cut it with his sword.
As he cut off his first sword, the weed-like things suddenly sizzled. This is followed by a milky white liquid.
The liquid glowed slightly, allowing Zhou Chang to see a corner of this thing clearly.
It was like a weed, and it turned out to be a finger-thick hair, and the hair seemed to be alive, and it kept wriggling.
And those hairs that were cut off by Zhou Chang quickly turned white, and a few maggot hairs drilled out and swam towards Zhou Chang.
