Chapter 331: Treasure Hunting at Yongchun Lake
The height of seventy or eighty meters is a piece of cake for Ding Kui now, and he flew to the top of the waterfall in a dozen breaths. However, in the eyes of the other members of the adventure group, Ding Kui's figure continued to shrink, indicating that he was still flying upwards.
Yongchun Lake, which is hundreds of miles in radius, catches Ding Kui's eyes like a huge sapphire.
The clear sky blends with the lake, and the top of the snow-capped mountains in the distance becomes white clouds in the lake, and the silky smooth surface of the lake tells its tranquility with the refraction of light.
A naturally formed drainage channel winds its way from the lake, creating the waterfall in front of Ding Kui's eyes.
"Tut-tut, what a beautiful picture, how can an ugly bone beetle deserve to live here. Ding Kui briefly forgot about his companions.
A splash in the water in Yongchun Lake awakens Ding Kui, who is enjoying the scenery.
He casually shoots a fireball down, then finds a boulder at the top of the waterfall, ties one end of the hemp rope tightly to the boulder, and throws the other end down the waterfall.
After a short time, Sparrow climbed up with a rope tied around his waist, and the two thick hemp ropes increased the efficiency of the team's climb to the waterfall, and it took only a stick of incense to make everyone climb to the top of the waterfall.
"Wow, wow, it's so unique, it's so beautiful. "Bai Ruoxi is the most excited one in the team.
"Did you find anything?" Cui Tianwu asked Ding Kui.
"There are no signs of humans for the time being, there are creatures in the lake, and it is not clear what kind of creatures they are. Ding Kui's answer made Cui Tianwu half relieved.
"The nest of the bone beetle is usually close to the lake, should we look for such a big lake separately?" The sparrow had a little headache, relying on him to explore the road alone, and he couldn't finish walking around Yongchun Lake in a day.
"I'm afraid it's dangerous to be separated," Hua Mulan, who rarely participated in the discussion, spoke, "Your Excellency Xie Peng said that there are creatures in the lake, so let's go together, although it is slow at least safe." ”
"One more day wasted is one more day of consumption, and it is difficult for us to find food in Yongchun Lake, and bone beetles cannot eat it. "Dou Xiaoqi is still concerned about food.
At this time, the team's opinions were divided, Dou Xiaoqi supported Sparrow's opinion and split the two teams to search the lakeshore, Bai Ruoxi of course supported his cousin and acted together to ensure the safety of the team.
Cui Tianwu was caught between his friend and his wife, and it was difficult to make a decision, so he had to look at Ding Kui with the eyes of help. Lei Feixiang listens to Ding Kui no matter what, and his opinions can basically be ignored.
"Well, since we were able to hunt roe deer before, it means that we can hunt and solve the food problem in the later journey, so we don't have to worry too much about this. Ding Kui's least concern is the food problem, but it is not easy to tell everyone, "Bone beetles can't be eaten, and thundering frogs don't know if they can eat it?"
Walking from the right to the nearest to Hot Spring Ridge, I guess the nest of the bone beetle should be close to Hot Spring Ridge. Let's search to the right together, so that everyone can be safe, and we can quickly find the bone beetle nest, and we can also get close to observe the hot spring ridge, and we can know in time if someone goes up. ”
The person with the highest combat power in the team spoke, and Cui Tianwu hurriedly said: "That's right, Your Excellency Xie Peng can count everything you want in one fell swoop, and the worries of the two brothers can be solved." If I take you out, I'm going to bring you back completely, so let's be safe and go to the right together." ”
Lacking human support, Sparrow and Dou Xiaoqi had no choice but to follow the team.
Bone beetles do not stay in the water for long periods of time, they often come ashore in search of food, and the shore near their nests is sure to leave traces of their tentacles. As long as they find these traces and then go into the water from the nearest place to look for them, they can minimize the time they spend in the water.
Hot Spring Ridge is not far from the top of the waterfall, and not long after the sun crosses overhead, Ding Kui and his party came to the foot of Hot Spring Ridge along the shore of Yongchun Lake.
The rugged mountain terrain has no effect on the bone beetle, an amphibious monster on the water and land, and the foot of the hot spring ridge extends directly to the bottom of Yongchun Lake, just at the junction of the lake and the mountain, Ding Kui and they found the footprints of the bone beetle, which can also be said to be tentacles.
The group did not rush into the water, but first built a camp on the shore, which was a defensive camp to protect not only against monsters but also against humans.
It is very likely that there is a bone beetle nest underwater, and it is estimated that there are a large number of magic cores in it, and at this time, there are other adventure groups that threaten the adventure group except for the monsters. Adventure groups fight for interests, and even kill people in an endless stream, everyone on the table is harmonious, and there are swords and swords under the stage, even if you don't want to rob others, you must be careful not to be robbed by others.
It was still early in the dark, and the camp had already lit a fire and set up an iron pot to boil hot water. Ding Kui, Bai Ruoxi and Lei Feixiang are all ready to go into the water, which is the coldest when they come out of the water during this season, and the team has prepared hot water for them to wash.
What everyone didn't expect was that Ding Kui actually brought the water backing, but the gentleman handed the water back to Bai Ruoxi, "Although this is a little bigger for you to wear, you can pierce it." Don't shirk, just you are a woman in the water, it is easier to wear the water, Lei Feixiang and I are both big men and there are not so many taboos. ”
"Thank you," Bai Ruoxi said for the first time, "so that I can speed up a little faster in the water." "She's not pretentious, and the water is very useful to her.
Ding Kui jumped into Yongchun Lake wearing only a pair of leather pants in the cold wind, and dived into the water after a little activity in the water.
"Shh, I feel cold when I look at it. Lei Feixiang, who was doing warm-up exercises, shivered.
The water of Yongchun Lake is very clear, and the sun after the morning is more dazzling, and Ding Kui's sight can reach about 20 meters underwater.
He noticed that there was darkness in the center of the lake, and it was estimated that the water there was at least fifty meters deep, and that the slope that extended down from the Hot Spring Ridge disappeared into the darkness, and the bottom of the lake should actually be the bottom of the Hot Spring Ridge.
Some strange-shaped fish swam close to the shore to feed, and Ding Kui was frightened by the sudden jump into the water and swam to a deep place, so that Ding Kui was convinced that the bone beetles in this area had not returned.
During the special training with Gu Zhuangdian, Ding Kui learned the art of water breathing and fire breathing, and he thought that there was no chance of being buried in the ground, so he did not learn the art of earth breathing. However, Gu Zhuangdian warned him that no matter how difficult it was to learn, he had to learn the Earth Breathing Technique, so that no matter what extreme environment he went to, he could ensure his survival, and it was ridiculous for a magician to be suffocated to death.
The last time he used the Water Breath Technique, he was in a water tank, and this time Ding Kui performed it for the second time in Yongchun Lake. He felt the mana flow back from the circle and carry air into his lungs, ensuring his body's need for oxygen, and he could stay in the water as long as his mana was not exhausted.
Haha, it feels amazing in the water, it's just a little colder. There is a lot of resistance in the water, and if possible, some basic training can be put into the water.
The first thing Ding Kui thought of in the water was actually related to knight training, which made others unable to guess it.
He advanced more than 20 meters in the direction of the junction of Yongchun Lake and Hot Spring Ridge, found the traces of the bone beetle going up the mountain, followed the traces in reverse, and found a dark hole about ten meters away from the center of the lake.
It was more than twenty meters above the water, and only a faint light shot down through the lake, and it could not shine a few meters through the hole. Ding Kui took out the space ring from the bun, this thing is always stored close to his body and never leaves his body for half a moment.
The night pearl sent by Jiang Tong was taken away as a token for Long Yan, and Ding Kui found a good quality night pearl in the Lu Chamber of Commerce, in the Shenyuan world, which lacks lighting equipment, the night pearl is very versatile.
With the illumination of the night pearl, Ding Kui touched the black hole at the bottom of the water. The passage of this cave is not small, and it can allow three adult bone beetles to walk in parallel, and Ding Kui can walk upright in it.
The black hole does not open vertically, Ding Kui groped for a while, and found that the passage began to take on a horizontal angle, and the direction was probably towards the center of Hot Spring Ridge. After walking more than ten meters, the passage began to slope upward, and it was not difficult for the presence of gravity to find this.
More than ten meters later, Ding Kui surfaced.
Aha, bone beetles don't sleep in water.
The cautious Ding Kui did not immediately withdraw the water breathing technique, but lit a torch and burned it in the passage for a while.
This should be a hole in the belly of Hot Spring Ridge, with a vent outside the passage, and the bone beetle also needs to breathe.
At this time, Ding Kui relieved himself to withdraw the water breath technique, and continued to walk forward with a torch.
After climbing up the slope for a while, Ding Kui walked into a large karst cave, the light of the torch was limited, and he could not see the deepest part of the cave, only the top of the cave more than ten meters high.
There was no need to look for it, Ding Kui had already felt the rich energy, and jumped over several large puddles towards the deepest concentration, he finally found the magic cores all over the ground, and finally did not come to Yongchun Lake in vain.
There are too few demon cores here, hey, I think too much, Yongchun Lake is not far from Tianmen Town, and the strength of the demonic beasts here is too low, how could the masters of the association miss here, they must come to collect it every once in a while.
The demon core was found, Ding Kui was still disappointed, compared with the demon core in Funiu Mountain, the demon core in this place is pitifully few, and it is estimated that there is not one-tenth of it.
The most awesome magical beasts in the area of Yongchun Lake and Hot Spring Ridge are the late stage of the fourth level, and a water or qi forbidden magician can unknowingly search for the magic core, and the magician will always be able to distribute so many resources to the guilds below every year, not out of thin air.
There is a vice president of the general association stationed in Tianmen Town, but it is not entirely to resist the beast tide, on the contrary, Rong Ci rarely makes a move in the beast tide.
The members of the adventure group on the shore waited for about half an hour, and Ding Kui popped his head out on the water thirty or forty meters away from the camp.
Bai Ruoxi saw Ding Kui waving at her, and hurriedly jumped into the water with a few big leather bags; Sparrow and Hua Mulan jumped onto the simple arrow tower, vigilantly watching the situation around the camp; Cui Tianwu and Dou Xiao rode on the shore with weapons in hand, and only Lei Feixiang was undressing alone.
In the distance, there were many pairs of eyes watching what was happening in the camp.
