Chapter 168: The Bottom of the Lake

Swallowing a mouthful of slightly fishy moist air, Xia Zuo was like a big black fish, swaying his body and quietly diving into the bottom of the lake, the muddy pool was washed by the river all year round, and the depth of thirteen or fourteen meters was much deeper than Xia Zuo imagined.

The black mud that has been accumulated for many years is full of nutrients, and the fat dark green algae is slowly swaying with the undercurrent, and the pitch-black catfish, which is a man-long one, swaying their beards on their lips, shuttles from the aquatic plants that are one person high, and happily gnaws on the fat aquatic plants.

"Puff plop" Xia Zuo clearly heard his gradually sluggish heartbeat in the water, Xia Zuo didn't want to temporarily stop his heartbeat, but it was more noticeable, just adjusted his heartbeat breath, and gradually merged into the frequency of the catfish.

Swinging his body and swimming slowly in the aquatic weeds, Xia Zuo was like a huge catfish, and even the dense school of catfish in the aquatic weeds did not make the slightest movement to this strange creature that quietly integrated into his group.

After Xia Zuo drilled into the fish for two or three breaths, the temperature of the lake suddenly increased briefly, and the fish instinctively felt the danger, and swam in panic.

Fortunately, the scorching heat was only for a moment, and the breath flashed, and a slender and sacred silver-white figure suddenly appeared on the shore, and Ivy levitated three feet away from the ground to ensure that the dirty and turbid lake water and the stinking and filthy black mud would not be contaminated with her body, and the golden pupils of angry flames flashed in the depths of her pupils, and she slowly patrolled coldly.

There was also a faint smell of blood in the air. That treacherous orc must be hiding somewhere around here.

The restlessness of the panicked fish made the lake even more turbid, yellow, orange and gray like a puddle of mud, it was difficult to reach three feet from the shore, but the sun was swaying, Xia Zuo could clearly see the uneven and slender silhouette of Ivy's armor from underwater.

Xia Zuo didn't dare to stare for too long, just like a big catfish, slowly swimming around the bottom of the lake, looking at the figure suspended on the shore from all angles.

There is only one figure standing on the water, although Xia Zuo's ** strength is infinitely close to the bronze fighter, but there is a huge gap between it and the silver fighter, whether it is two or one silver, Xia Zuo's life can be easily harvested. But in the present situation. Only one opponent is a blessing in misfortune.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Zuo finally cautiously dived into the depths of the lake, although it seemed like an excellent time to sneak attack, but the other party was a silver fighter. In front of the opponent's completely overwhelming strength. Any impulsive action will have disastrous consequences for yourself.

The frightened fish gradually calmed down. The fat catfish began to eat the aquatic plants leisurely again, and Xia Zuo mixed in with the fish, and the black figure was completely indistinguishable from the black fish.

Suddenly. The comfortable fish suddenly scattered in a panic, Xia Zuo couldn't help but be startled in his heart, thinking that he had leaked a flaw, which attracted Ivy's eyes to converge, causing the fish to scatter in panic when they perceived the danger.

But soon Xia Zuo understood the reason for the fish being at a loss, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

From the center of the chaos of the fish, a dozen dark green leopard eels with short arms suddenly sprang out of the swaying fat aquatic plants, and their strip-shaped bodies looked almost indistinguishable from aquatic plants, swaying from side to side like strange little snakes, swimming in the water like lightning.

The greedy and hungry little eyes on the top of his forehead were glowing with blood, and on the huge mouth that occupied almost the entire head, two rows of fine sharp teeth were neatly and densely arranged.

The dark green body caught up with the panicked catfish like lightning, opening and closing its mouth like a hacksaw, easily tearing open the catfish's fat body, blood mixed with muddy water and scattering, the greedy eel was not in a hurry to taste the food, but like a hungry wolf rushing into the flock, the smooth strip-shaped body turned into a black light flashing.

But the catfish that was bitten was even a small wound, and the panicked and violent struggle was calmed down in just three breaths, and the stiff body slowly fell into the swaying aquatic plants.

The greedy hunter in the water turned into a black light, but in just a few breaths, dozens of eels were killed.

The leopard eel is one of the fish that Xia Zuo knows very little, although the body is fragile, but the smooth body comes and goes like electricity, and the teeth are able to secrete highly poisonous, the venom secreted by this eel can paralyze a strong hound to the ground within five breaths, and ordinary people are very likely to die of heart paralysis after being hit by this venom.

Even if he has a strong physique like Xia Zuo, if he is asked to take a few bites by these dozen eels, his muscles will definitely be numb and his limbs will be stiff.

"Damn it!!" Xia Zuo secretly cursed in his heart for bad luck, and the corners of his mouth slowly spit out the waste air in his chest, turning into wisps of tiny bubbles curling up, while carefully suppressing his heartbeat.

I have to say that the animal instinct is strong, the eyes of the leopard eel are very small, and their eyes have almost degenerated into ornaments when they live at the bottom of the lake all year round, and the beard on their lips sways slightly in the current, like a snake to explore the surrounding environment, even if Xia Zuo suppresses his heartbeat and retracts his breath, it is almost no different from the stones deposited in the silt at the bottom of the lake, but the breath of the essence of the creature still cannot be changed.

Although more than a dozen leopard eels couldn't feel Xia Zuo's breath, their slender and flat bodies like snakes still deftly swam back and forth around Xia Zuo's body.

The slender body swam from the swaying hair, from the fingers, from the folds of the clothes, and even two eels swayed near Natsuzo's mouth and ears, instinctively trying to get into the gap.

His eyes stared directly at the vague figure on the shore of the lake, Xia Zuo imagined that he was a stone, the dangerous aura brought by the leopard eel, the slippery and cold body, rubbing Xia Zuo's skin from time to time, making Xia Zuo's skin goosebumps involuntarily, suppressing all the instincts of his body, Xia Zuo let the eel surround his body.

Although it is troublesome to take a bite of these highly poisonous things, it is even more troublesome once it attracts the attention of the terrifying woman on the shore.

"Despicable orc, you must pay for your crimes!" The beautiful and pretty face was gloomy, and even if she didn't apply powder, she had a unique attraction that was different from ordinary people.

Ivy chased all the way to the smell of blood, and from high in the air she didn't notice Xia Zuo jumping into the lake, and even if she did, she might think it was a big black fish jumping out of the lake.

The lake was the end of the smell of blood, a faint smell of blood that permeated the air and grew lighter with the murmuring of the water and the breeze.

Although I suspect that the lowly orc is hiding in the lake, but in the filthy water, Ivy will never allow these dirty, filthy things to touch her noble body.

Standing quietly on the edge of the lake like a sculpture, Ivy was fully absorbed in the water, and the slightest abnormality would cause her to attack violently.

But as time passed, Ivy gradually figured out in her heart, after all, orcs are not creatures that can live in the water like fishmen, even if they are a warrior, they shouldn't have been without movement for so long, if her guess is wrong, then she wastes time here, and that damn lowly orc will run farther and farther.

The breeze was swaying, the water was steaming, and the silent confrontation unfolded silently by the lake.

The turbid lake water was bubbling with a pungent fishy smell, and this unpleasant smell made Ivy, who was more and more irritable, frown more and more.

About another cup of tea time, even if there was breath in the body to maintain operation, in the dim and turbid deep water, Xia Zuo's twisted face was black and red due to lack of oxygen suffocation, and a pair of bloodshot eyes almost burst out of the sockets.

The weight of the practice armor that absorbed enough water increased rapidly, and Xia Zuo's oxygen-deficient body was like a huge mountain peak slowly crushing into the dark sludge at the bottom of the river, and the fishy smell filled the nasal cavity, and the muscles and bones seemed to be crushed by the huge pressure at any time.

"It seems that there really isn't!" Ivy gritted her teeth secretly, and her cold gaze circled the surface of the lake for the last time, and after making sure that there was really nothing unusual here, a raging life suddenly rose on her body, rising from the ground in the steaming water vapor on the surface of the lake, dragging the usual linear tail straight into the sky.

The oxygen-deficient head buzzed like a thousand birds chirping in unison, but it became more and more acute, and even the subtle sound of the smooth body of the leopard eel crossing the lake was like the thunder of early spring pouring into the ears.

There was a burst of blackening in front of him, and his eyes became more and more blurred when he saw the figure on the shore rushing into the sky, Xia Zuo finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart,

The hypoxic head still maintained its last clarity, and Xia Zuo, who was worried that Ivy would go and return, was not in a hurry to surface.

Xia Zuo, who was almost integrated with the silt, suddenly opened his mouth and bit a catfish swaying and swimming by his mouth, tore open the body of the fish, greedily squeezed the thin air from the fish bubbles inside the catfish's body, and suddenly killed, so that the surrounding leopard eel instinctively felt the danger, and the smooth body scattered, swaying and quickly disappearing into the mixed lake.

Consuming the last breath of air in his chest, Xia Zuo used all his strength to pull out his body trapped in the quagmire, setting off bursts of dirty black water at the bottom of the lake.

Like a lizard, it gradually climbed up the slope of the bottom of the lake, and under the cover of a few large rocks standing beside the corner of the lake, it poked its nose out of the water like a fish, greedily and carefully inhaled a small puff of moist and fishy air, and looked around vigilantly.

After Ivy left for more than ten minutes, Xia Zuo suddenly came out of the water, wiped the sludge and mixed aquatic plants on his face, and swallowed the cool breath with his mouth open.

Xia Zuo, who was just anxious to swallow his breath to recover, didn't notice that behind him, on a boulder standing in the lake less than a hundred meters away, a silver-white body sat quietly like a statue, and at the moment when Xia Zuo came out of the water, a holy fire flashed in his beautiful eyes that suddenly opened.
