"Is this the Lake of Death?" Starmark rubbed his eyes, he wondered if he had come to the wrong place, or if there was something wrong with his eyes, because the scene in front of him was so different from the Lake of Death that Starmark couldn't even find a connection between this place and the word "death".

Andre also stared at the scenery in front of them with wide eyes, there was indeed a lake in front of them, sparkling, and the water of the lake was so clear that you could see the bottom of the lake more than twenty meters deep. Flowers bloom and butterflies flutter by the lake, a scene full of life. The beauty here is like a picture scroll, if you want to say it, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a fairyland on earth.

Starmark immediately took out the map that Abner had given him, and compared it over and over again, if it wasn't for the location marked on the scroll, Starmark would not have believed that this was their destination, the Lake of Death.

"Are we in the wrong place?" Starmark looked at André with a skeptical gaze, and handed him the map Abner had given him.

Andre turned out the map, and after careful consideration, he finally determined that this was their destination.

"But how can this be called the Lake of Death? It's not like it at all!" Starmark asked Andre with his doubts.

Andre smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I don't know, I thought there would be that kind of strange trees and ghosts here, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful." ”

As soon as Andrei finished speaking, a voice came from a distance: "Beauty and death are not necessarily equal, just like many poisonous snakes are mostly colorful, and the reason why this place is called the Lake of Death, you can understand it by looking at the lake." ”

Starmark and Andrei listened and looked at the lake at the same time. The crystal clear water of the lake, accompanied by the ripples of the breeze, exudes a sweet smell, everything is so beautiful, this water seems to be a blessing from heaven.

Andre scratched his head, he did feel that something was wrong in the lake, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, it couldn't be because it was too clear, so something was wrong, right?

At this moment, Starmark suddenly trembled, took a step back quickly, stretched out his finger and pointed to the lake and exclaimed, "No, this lake... This lake..."

After hearing this, Andre hurriedly came to Starmark's side, held him and asked, "What's wrong with this lake?

"This lake... There are no fish in this lake!, not a single one!" Starmark exclaimed.

Andre heard the "buzz" in his head, and then he realized why he felt that something was wrong in the lake, just like Starmark said, there was not a single fish in the clear water! Not only that, but André also saw that there was a broken piece of wood in it. Broken wood is not uncommon in the lake, but the broken wood in this lake has not corroded at all, and has been well preserved.

At this time, the voice that came from before sounded behind Starmark and Andre: "Yes, this is the origin of the name of the Lake of Death, there is no life in this lake. ”

Because of the sudden appearance behind the two, Starmark and Andre were so frightened that they almost jumped up, the two hurriedly turned around, only to see a chubby figure standing behind them, seeing this person, Andre's face changed suddenly, and he stammered: "Teacher... Master... Why are you here so early. ”

Standing behind the two of them was not Abner, who had been scheduled for the evening, but they didn't expect Abner to appear here at noon. Seeing Abner, how could Andre not panic, you must know that Abner had warned Andre that day, if he dared to interfere, he should not call himself a master.

Abner glanced at Andre and said without a trace of emotion in his tone: "Remember what I said, don't call me master." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it exploded on Andre's head like a thunderbolt from the sky, making his whole body shake, and the power in his body was instantly withdrawn, if it weren't for the star mark being by his side, he hurriedly reached out to support him, and Andre almost fell directly to the ground. André was a gangster three months ago, but that day his life took a 180-degree turn. Andre is no longer muddy, no longer idling around every day, living a life of fighting and eating and waiting for death. In the past three months, although it has been very hard, Andre has found that he has a new purpose, his life, his future is full of brightness, and all because of this old man in front of him.

It's like a dream, except that this dream wakes up with this sentence from Abner...

Andrei's face turned pale, this time the loss was far better than the more than ten times he lost to the star mark, he showed a wry smile, and then gently pushed away the star mark that was holding him, knelt in front of Abner, and bowed respectfully to him three times, each of his bows was very slow, very long, as if waiting for a turnaround, but he didn't get the words he wanted, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered...

Even if Andrei had prepared before, when it really came, he was still unwilling to accept it...

Xingji looked at Andrei's appearance, gritted his teeth, and then suddenly took a step forward, came to Abner and said, "I don't worship you as a teacher anymore, can you let him continue to be your disciple?"

Abner looked at the star mark, then smiled contemptuously, shook his head and said: "The eldest husband does what he says, the condition of apprenticeship is my agreement with you, whether to call me master or not is my agreement with him, people can't be untrustworthy." ”

Hearing Abner's words, Starmark gritted his teeth vigorously, and was about to speak again when he was stopped by Andre. Andre shook his body and slowly stood up, his strong physique seemed so weak at this time, that it was extremely difficult to even stand. Andre patted Xingji's shoulder and shook his head at him: "The master is right, people can't be untrustworthy, and when I came to help you, I was already prepared." ”

After speaking, Andre tried to squeeze out a smile and continued: "Come on, don't waste my efforts, show me the success of the apprenticeship." ”

Starmark gritted his teeth, his small fist turned white from the force, and his palms were bruised by his nails. After half a ring, Starmark nodded, he actually wanted to refuse, but when he felt Andre's trembling hands on his shoulder, Starmark told himself that he couldn't refuse, he must succeed, for himself, and for Andre!

Taking a deep breath, Starmark took a step forward and said to Abner, "Now that you've arrived, let's start the second test!"

Abner looked at Starmark expressionlessly, and suddenly, he smiled slightly, took out a small bowl and handed it to Starmark, casually pointing to the Lake of Death behind the two of them and said, "Go to the lake and get some water." ”

Xingji frowned, but still took the small bowl and came to the lake, looking at the clear and transparent water, thinking that this was like a colorful poisonous snake, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Starmark leaned down, he didn't dare to let his hand touch the lake, and after carefully beating most of the bowl of water, he returned to Abner and handed the bowl carrying the lake of death to the other party.

However, Abner didn't take it, but looked at the star mark and smiled: "I'm tired after walking so far, let's drink it." ”

Hearing this, Starmark shook his hand and almost spilled the water in the bowl, Andre's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How can this work! This water can't be drunk!"

Starmark looked at Abner in a daze, but from the other party's expression, he couldn't tell that it was a joke. Look at the water in the small bowl, the clear lake in the bowl somehow no longer looks clear, like a turbid poison, exuding a suffocating smell.

"Drink it. Abner's voice came again, but it was magnetic, but it sounded like the sound of death.

"You can't drink it, if you drink it, you'll die!What a great sage, we won't worship anymore!" Andre immediately intervened to stop Starmark, and at the same time looked at Abner with anger in his eyes. Abner was his idol, as great as a god in his heart, but at this time, when he saw Abner actually forcing Starmark to drink the water of the lake, his impression of Abner had changed greatly.

Starmark didn't hear Andre's voice, but looked at the water in the bowl in a daze, at his own reflection on the water. Gradually, the shadow changed into a woman, the most beautiful and gentle woman in Starmark's heart. The breeze blew, and the microwaves on the water disrupted the image, and when it was reassembled, it became a hut, not very large, and somewhat dilapidated, but from time to time there were all kinds of laughter in the house.

At that moment, Starmark suddenly moved, and he brushed away Andrei's hand that was in front of him, and then drank the water from the bowl.

Andre was shocked when he saw this, he wanted to stop it but it was too late, after reading the star mark after drinking, Andre opened his mouth but did not say anything, there was only one voice in his head at this time, that is, what the star mark said to himself in the forest before.

"If you have a reason, you can die?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I've drunk the water, I've passed the test!" Starmark said, sliding the bowl in his hand and glaring at Abner.

Abner looked at the bowl in Starmark's hand, then at Starmark, and suddenly smiled: "I only said that you should drink a bowl of water, but I didn't say that this is a test, the real test will not be so simple." ”

Hearing Abner's words, Starmark was furious, and Andre couldn't control his shot. I saw Andrei come to Abner at once, stretched out his hand and grabbed him by the collar, and shouted angrily: "Stinky old man, you are too much!"

Seeing Andre's actions, Abner did not show any panicked expression, but suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Although the time is a little early, the second test will start early." ”

As Abner's applause fell, a deafening beast roar was heard, and then a behemoth came out of the forest not far away, and when they saw this behemoth, Starmark and Andrei's faces changed, because it was the Bigfoot bear they had just defeated!
