Chapter 40: Adventures in the Antarctic Underground Lake (3)
The light outside was faint blue in the blue shimmer of the ice sheet, and although it was in Antarctica, it was not as cold in the space of the underground lake as it was above the ice sheet.
The surface of the lake is very calm, like a mirror, the strange thing is that the surface of the lake is not frozen in this cold, the lake water is pure, standing on the shore you can vaguely see the small fish swimming around freely, they swim very slowly, a carefree look.
The view of the lake is peaceful and beautiful, everything on the shore has been covered with snow and ice, like a beautiful landscape painting. While rowing, they enjoyed the beautiful view of Lake Vostok and were in a good mood.
A small boat, with Brende at the bow, Vico and Fosco at the stern, and Lannie and Millie in the middle. The three boys paddled hard with the oars, the oars broke the calm of the lake, Lan Nieu put her hand deep into the cold lake water, and splashed it into the sky, the water droplets flew in the air, reflecting the faint blue light, like a glowing sapphire, and fell into the lake in an instant, "It's so comfortable!" Lanni said involuntarily.
The boat slowly moved along the lake, and the children laughed and enjoyed rowing. From time to time, Vico and Fosco picked up their fishing rods and tried to catch a few small fish, but each time they could only see the bait swaying on the surface of the water, and the fish didn't seem to take the bait.
"Brende, do you think we'll catch a fish today?" Fosco asked.
Brende looked at the lake carefully, and then said, "I think we should change places, there may not be enough fish here." He skillfully turned the rudder, and the boat rowed toward the center of the lake.
The water in the center of the lake is deeper, and Brende believes there should be more fish there. Sure enough, when they reached the center of the lake, the fish began to take the bait. Fosco and Vico happily caught one small fish after another, their laughter echoing across the lake.
Brende took the fishing rod and looked at Vico and Fusco enviously, he hadn't caught a single fish yet! Suddenly, a powerful force came from the water, and Brende stumbled and almost fell off the boat.
"Quick! Vico, Fosco, come and help me! It's a big fish this time! Brende struggled to pull the rod back. Seeing this, he quickly switched places with Lannie and Millie, and let the two girls sit in the stern of the boat, and try to position as far back as possible, so that the weight of the three boys in the bow of the boat can be balanced.
Vico shouted, "Brende, don't let go, we're coming!" The three of them pulled the rod together, and the line sank deep into the water, and the big fish struggled at the bottom of the lake, making a splash. Fusco looked nervously at the rod, he had never seen a fish of this size, and he didn't know if the three of them would be able to hold it.
Lannie and Millie sat in the stern of the boat, nervously looking ahead. Lannie clenched her fists, and although she wanted to help, she knew that as long as she kept her balance, she would be the greatest help to Vico and the others. Millie had a look of novelty on her face, she had never seen anything like it, and her little face was full of curiosity and surprise.
The three of them pulled the fishing rod and stepped back step by step, their bodies tilting and almost falling. But their eyes never left the big fish, and their faces were full of tenacity and determination.
Suddenly, something terrible happened, suddenly "snap", the fishing rod broke, this sudden situation made the three of them fall heavily on the boat, who knows two "Ah! The sound of the ground sounded, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling into the water. Vico secretly screamed: "Oh no, Lannie and Millie have fallen into the water." He hurriedly shouted: "Quick, help!" ”
Vico got up from the boat, ignoring the pain, and hurriedly ran towards the stern. He saw that Lannie and Millie had fallen into the lake, struggling desperately. He was so anxious that he didn't bother to take off his clothes, so he jumped into the lake.
He swam up to Lannie, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her toward the shore with all his might. Although she was scared, she gritted her teeth and cooperated with Vico's efforts.
At the same time, Fosco also noticed the situation in the lake, and without saying a word, he jumped into the lake and swam towards Millie. Millie was still young, and the sudden situation made her seem helpless, she struggled in the water, and had already snatched several mouthfuls of water, and Fosco swam Millie hard.
Brende, who was standing on the boat at this time, pointed ahead in a panic and said loudly: "What is that?" Vico, who had just put Lan Nieu on the boat, quickly turned his head to look, and his face turned pale in an instant.
