Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Strange Sleeping Lake
Although everyone knows that the Sleeping Lake is a desperate place where there is no life, there are still people who are not afraid of death and take on the task.
However, most of them are low-level mercenaries of the rank of sergeant and general, and the more high-level mercenaries are, the more they know the horror of the Sleeping Lake, and no one will die in vain.
Tianyao and the others had already run forward for more than fifty miles, and because they were in too much hurry, when they walked into a mountain road, they did not pay attention to the words engraved on the mountain wall: "Sleeping lake ahead, trespasser dies".
After walking forward for a while, Tianyao and the others felt that something was wrong, it was too quiet, and the silence was a little weird.
As far as the eye can see, there is no grass, and only layers of thick mist are floating in the air not far away.
"Big brother, I don't feel a little bit of life here, brother, I'm so scared. ”
Xiang'er hugged Tianyao tightly, and Yu'er also grabbed Tianxiang's hand, and everyone walked slowly one by one.
"I don't know if those killers have caught up, big brother, look at the map, where are we now?"
Tianyao opened the map, and when he found out where he and the others were currently located, his face became a little ugly, and under everyone's questioning, Tianyao spit out three words: "Sleeping Lake." ”
When they heard this answer, everyone was a little panicked, because when they looked at the map on the carriage, the map clearly marked several major dangers in Beizhou.
Among them, there is a big black cross on the position of the sleeping lake, which can be said to be dead, and there is no grass.
Legend has it that in the era of the God Emperor, there was a big devil who slaughtered hundreds of millions of living beings, practiced heavy water magic skills, and called himself the Sleeping Demon King.
There were no less than ten God-level supremes who died in his hands, and there were countless Saint-level emperor-level people, and later, he tried in vain to challenge Divine Emperor Xuanyuan Wuji.
It is said that the God Emperor also had the intention of eliminating demons for the common people in the world, and fought with the Sleeping Demon King for nine days and nine nights, and finally the God Emperor killed the Sleeping Demon King with supreme divine power.
But the Sleeping Demon King is also worthy of being the top supreme, and when he was dying, he issued an eternal curse, turning himself into a sleeping lake and devouring thousands of lands.
Whoever is contaminated with its breath will die, the god emperor will not be saved, and the place where the sleeping lake is located will be lifeless.
Throughout the ages, there were many people who did not believe this rumor and ran to the place where the Sleeping Lake was located, but none of them returned alive, and several of them were also killed here.
Since then, the Sleeping Lake has become the place of death for the Miracle Continent North Continent.
Knowing that the Sleeping Lake was extremely dangerous, but Tianyao didn't dare to take the risk of taking everyone out, facing the pursuit of the emperor-level powerhouse, his party would not have the slightest possibility of escaping, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to lead everyone forward.
Tianxiang had a whim, released the trap dog, and explored the way ahead, and everyone followed cautiously.
Walking and walking, there was a "plop", and the trap dog suddenly disappeared, which scared Tianxiang into a cold sweat.
Tianyao hurriedly pulled everyone together, then took out a copper plate from his arms, and gently threw it at the place where the machine dog disappeared, without stirring up a trace of waves, the copper plate disappeared like this, strictly speaking, it sank.
Tianxiang released several trap dolls and continued to explore the way, but it turned out that three feet in front of himself and the others was the dividing line of the Sleeping Lake, as long as it exceeded three feet, it would sink.
And there are several pits in several directions around, which are also sinking at the touch of a button, and then Xiaoliu also took a piece of paper and put it over, and the light sank correctly, and everyone was frightened by this strange scene.
Looking at those strange areas that were no different from the flat ground under his feet, Tianyao slowly approached the dividing line, and when he touched the place, there was a super suction force from his fingertips.
If Tianyao hadn't been prepared and resisted, he might have been pulled down by this suction.
Leaning up, Tianyao said to everyone with a calm face: "There should be a sleeping lake ahead, and those pits should also be connected to the sleeping lake, but because it looks the same as the ground, I don't know how big this lake is and how many pits there are, so we can't go any further, so we will camp here." ”
It was night, everyone ate some dry food and lay down, but no one could really sleep, everyone was worried.
After lying down for a while, Xiang'er couldn't sleep, and after getting up, she looked at the stars in the sky.
"Xiang'er, what are you thinking?" Tianyao's voice came from behind Xiang'er.
Looking back at Tianyao, Xiang'er looked at the stars in the sky again and said, "Big brother, I miss my father, I miss home." ”
Hearing what his sister said, Tianyao slowly approached Xiang'er, hugged his sister's somewhat thin body, and said softly: "Father and mother are guarding us in the sky, I believe in the eldest brother, one day, we will go home." ”
Xiang'er nodded vigorously in Tianyao's arms, and suddenly, as if she felt something, she pointed in a direction and said to Tianyao: "Big brother, I seem to feel a trace of anger there, intermittently, constantly approaching us. ”
Looking at the place Xiang'er pointed to, it was dark, and it could only be determined that it was the area contained in the Sleeping Lake.
Tianyao shook his head and said to Xiang'er: "Sister, are you too tired? Haven't we all shiyan been shiyan during the day, there can't be anything floating on the sleeping lake, you go and rest!"
Xiang'er shook Tianyao's arm and said eagerly: "Big brother, I really feel the breath of life, it's getting closer and closer, and I know it's unlikely, but I really feel it, big brother, take a closer look." ”
Seeing that Xiang'er was so sure, Tianyao could only continue to look in that direction, and not long after, he really found that there was a humanoid object floating and calm hundreds of meters away, slowly drifting towards the place where he and the others were.
Tianyao hurriedly woke up the others, and everyone lined up to watch the miracle happen in front of their eyes, and after a quarter of an hour, the humanoid object was washed to the ground, motionless.
The big guy is also you look at me, I look at you, for a while, I don't dare to step forward.
After a while, Xiang'er pulled Tianyao to the humanoid object, and since it was washed up with its back up, Tianyao dragged it a few meters away from the lake and flipped it over.
The flipped humanoid object revealed its true face, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, his wheat-colored skin slightly pale after a long time in the water, his short black hair standing on end, and his face handsome.
But the outfit on his body looked very strange, the clothes made of pure black unknown material were connected, I don't know how to put it on, and he also carried a strange ring-shaped object on his right hand, and a bag wrapped around his left arm.
Tianyao leaned over to check the boy's condition and found that his breathing was very steady, not like his life was in danger, maybe he just fell into a coma, and immediately tried to wake up the boy.
Who knew that as soon as he put his palm on the young man's body, he found that the young man's meridians were slightly different from those of himself and others, and in surprise, Tianyao did not dare to urge his power at will.
Seeing this, Xiang'er wanted to try if she could wake him up, so she walked to the young man's side, squatted down, ran the Ten Thousand Spirits Technique, and nodded at the young man's eyebrows.
A fingertip-sized cloud of green light gradually disappeared along the young man's forehead, and it didn't take long for the young man's upper body to tremble, spit out a large mouthful of water, and woke up.
When the boy opened his eyes, he saw a sweet-looking, aura-filled girl looking at him with concern, and with his gaze, the girl's little face became red, very cute.
Then he looked around, looking at a large circle of people surrounding him, especially a burly and powerful man, the young man screamed, got up from the ground at a speed that Tianyao couldn't see clearly, and then turned around and ran.
