Taihu Lake, known as Zhenze in ancient times, also known as the Five Lakes and Kasawa, is one of the five major freshwater lakes in China, spanning two provinces, with a total area of nearly 2,500 square kilometers and a total shoreline of 400 kilometers.

What is this concept, the urban area of London plus the suburbs, with a total area of about 1,500 square kilometers and a permanent population of 10 million people. In other words, the surface area of Taihu Lake alone is equivalent to more than one and a half London.

It is not easy to find a crocodile in such a large place, even if it is a whale, a big dinosaur, hiding in Taihu Lake, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And there are more than 50 islands in Taihu Lake, of which only a dozen people live, and the rest are all desert islands, this is not an artificial island in the park, a big place, you can see the whole picture at a glance, there are several islands that are almost bigger than a town, hundreds of people are uninhabited for decades, overgrown with trees and weeds, strange rocks, no one knows what else is inside.

However, there is a little benefit, Jiang Xuan listened to the locals that the water depth of most of the waters of Taihu Lake is relatively shallow, with an average of about two meters, and only the most central part is relatively deep.

This suddenly narrowed the scope of search, less than two meters of water, not necessarily not to live big crocodiles, but this area often has fishermen fishing, if there are really crocodiles, it is easy to be found, and so far, I have not heard of any crocodiles hurting people. The news of the crocodile infestation, so Jiang Xuan estimated that the predator demon, like other demons, did not want to be an enemy of the whole world for the time being, and it was too alarming to humans, so he judged that if the predator demon was really in Taihu Lake, then the area where he lived should be within the range of dozens of square kilometers around the central island.

Technology is a good thing, you can see from the satellite map, the darkest water area in the center of Taihu Lake, there are five or six islands, the largest one, the location is about the center, Jiang Xuan called it 'central island', the remaining islands are scattered around, and the area does not seem to be large.

With these islands as a foothold, it is much easier to search.

After coming down from the highway, I found that Taihu Lake is close to Suzhou, which is full of tourists, and there are many local fishermen, for the sake of safety and confidentiality, so I drove along the riverbank and drove dozens of kilometers out, and the surrounding tourists gradually became scarce, and there was no road, only the tidal flat covered with thorns, Jiang Xuan drove Wuling, and crushed a road from the tidal flat, and rushed to the lake.

"Chang Xiaotu, don't go for a ride, close the window!" In the back of the car, Chang Xiaotu looked very curious about Taihu Lake, one opened the window, poked his head out and looked around.

Wuling entered the water, and in a blink of an eye, the water overflowed the position of the car window, and almost poured in through the car window.

"I said, Jiang Xuan, why didn't you use Mercedes-Benz or something to renovate at that time? Why don't you get a car with automatic lifting windows!" Su Yao shook the window handle of the car very the side.

"You're so right, I don't just want to drive a Mercedes, I want to have a yacht, I want to fly a plane. Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes, this is not nonsense, in addition to being poor, what other reason can there be.

Soon, the car drove under the water, the water of Taihu Lake is really not deep, about two meters less, just over the roof of the car, there is no need for underwater searchlight headlights, just the sunlight cast on the water illuminates the water very clearly.

The bottom of the water is full of silt, the so-called Taihu Lake, when I drove underwater, I found that many places were actually a big quagmire, Jiang Xuan lifted the direction of the car slightly, and let it move forward in the middle of the water, so as not to fall into the mud.

Don't look at the water is not deep, but there are a lot of all kinds of aquariums, you can see some fish and shrimp swimming over from time to time on both sides of the car window, there are some bold fish, and they are circling around the car, a very aggressive black fish, even against the moving Wuling car, banged on the head, and the result was dizzy and white.

"Didn't someone on the road say that the production of all kinds of fish in Taihu Lake has been reduced a lot in the past half a year, how can you still see so many fish?" Su Yao was a little strange.

At first glance, it is only the capitalist lady who has no labor experience to say it, they are under the water, they can see clearly, such a large natural water, driving out for several kilometers, it is not normal to see a few fish, but along the way, not even a large-scale school of fish, the most one, only seven or eight fish gathered together.

For a fishing mecca, this density of underwater fish is almost extinct, and if you drive a small boat to catch fish, you may not be able to catch a few in a day.

And I didn't see a big fish, and the black fish just now was the largest, estimated to weigh three or four catties, and the others were small hairy fish.

Taihu Lake is a place like this, don't look at the water is not deep, but it is too large, the natural environment and water body are very suitable for the growth of aquatic organisms, such as herring grass carp and other large fish, it is normal to grow to a hundred catties, if you go back to ancient times, Taihu Lake is also a place where various legends gather, a paradise for aquatic creatures.

This proves that there must have been some unknown changes in Taihu Lake.

Chang Xiaotu got into the trunk from the back row, rummaging through the snacks she brought, and said, "It must have been eaten by a big predator." ”

"He's just a crocodile, and he's not a glutton, how much can he eat? In such a large body of water, no matter how much he can eat, the natural reproduction of fish is much faster than what he can eat. Boss, didn't you say that the predator demon could beckon his subordinates, did you say that the water tribe would disappear and become his subordinates?"

Gou Ritian muttered on the side: "If this is going to be troublesome, then how many subordinates does he have to have? There are more ants biting elephants to death, in case he gets hundreds of thousands of tons of hands and countless fish, we have no way at all." ”

Gou Ritian is really not alarmist, what is hundreds of thousands of tons, it sounds like a lot, but as far as the entire Taihu Lake is concerned, this is only a small part of it.

"Let's take it one step at a time. "Now Jiang Xuan is not sure of anything, this time, the main thing is to find out the bottom, if you can do it, you can do it, but you can't immediately drive at full power, Wuling can also drive at a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour in the water, if you really can't run at full power.

Advancing underwater, the road of dozens of kilometers is not long, and it only takes an hour, and it gradually leaves the shallow water area and comes to the deep water area in the center of Taihu Lake.

The color of the water gradually deepened, the sunlight could not penetrate it, it is estimated that the depth of the water has approached ten meters, the appearance of three or four floors, the visibility in front is less than half a meter, the surrounding area is pitch black, nothing can be seen, sticking to the glass, only a large area of granular water creatures, floating with the waves in the water.

This proves once again that the water quality of Taihu Lake is absolutely suitable for the survival of aquariums, and this tiny aquatic creature is the best food for all kinds of fish seedlings.

Jiang Xuan was about to turn on the headlights, when suddenly, something seemed to hit the car door hard.

A muffled sound of 'bang' can be heard in the car, and because the car is floating, it is slightly crooked.

"I'm going to go!"

You don't need to see it, you can feel it just by the force of the impact, it is definitely not caused by a few catties or more than a dozen catties of aquatic creatures, or it should be a hundred catties.

"That's not right, Jiang Xuan!" Su Su was a little afraid of water, since the car got into the water, her face has not been very good, at this time, she was holding the seat belt with one hand, her face was pale, and she said with a bitter face: "I...... I think I just saw a big claw!"

"Big claws?" Chang Xiaotu was happy: "It must be a hairy crab! Taihu wild hairy crab! Jiang Xuan Jiang Xuan, can I get out of the car, if I catch the hairy crab for him, let's take it back and eat it, okay! Put it on the cauldron and steam it, dip it in vinegar and eat it." Such a big hairy crab must be a lot yellow! By the way, it is the season to eat crabs, and in a few days, the crabs will be out of meat. ”

"You know how to eat, eat!" Jiang Xuan said: "It's really a crab, such a big head, clip off your ears!"

Chang Xiaotu touched the ears on the rabbit's clothes, and said nonchalantly: "I'm not afraid of crabs." ”

Being interrupted by Chang Xiaotu like this, everyone's nervousness has eased a lot, going out to catch crabs is nonsense, the surrounding situation is unknown, and it is too unsafe to leave the reinforced carriage protection, but when she said this, it made everyone understand one thing, in the end, all the people outside are water tribes, all of them are just food, and everyone here, except for Su Yao, is either a cultivator or a monster, no matter what, they will not be frightened by a few crabs or something.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the water depth here is only ten meters, and it is difficult to drown a group of monsters, especially Jiang Qiang, after he becomes a zombie, he almost doesn't need air, and he will not be suffocated when he walks home from underwater.

If you are in the sea, you can't do it, not only is there no air at the bottom of the sea, but the water surface is too big, regardless of the south, south, west, and northwest, and you may not be able to go out for a year, and the water pressure is amazing, it can directly crush people to death, besides, the creatures in the sea and the lake can't be compared, what sharks, whales, octopuses, even if it's an ordinary sea fish, can pose a big threat to the monsters.

As he spoke, Jiang Xuan had already turned on the headlights, and with a brush, a snowy light suddenly appeared in the dark waters ahead, illuminating dozens of meters away, as if an underwater passage had suddenly opened.

Following this light channel, Jiang Xuan slowed down and walked slowly.

As soon as he walked out, the light area in front of him suddenly shook violently, like a space that was about to collapse at any time.

Naturally, the lights don't flicker, and there is only one possibility why this happens: there are huge fluctuations in the otherwise calm current, and some huge underwater creature is approaching this way.
