There were countless runes and patterns flowing on the lamp, which was dazzling, but she suddenly stopped when she stretched out her palm and pressed it. Everyone saw a small gap in the pattern she called the anchor text, about the size of a character.

The white cat gave an order to the glass lamp: "Find it!"

The anchor text was placed in Huang Da's heart by her, and if she found the anchor text, she could find him.

To the ears of others, she just meowed to the lamp, but the glass lamp immediately floated forward out of thin air, not fast or slow, and happened to lead the way in front of everyone.

Yan Saburo grabbed the thick coat and put it on, and then held the cat in his arms, and then strode out. Several weasels glanced at each other and quickly followed.

Outside the deep hall of spring, there was a white silence.

Where the heavy snow can't cover, there are bare black branches and yellow grass, which is bitterly cold.

The lamp led everyone away, and the more they walked, the more desolate they became, and the direction turned out to be to the great lake.

Chunshen Hall is built near the water, and there is an open lake 20 zhang in front of it. However, it was freezing and the lake was already frozen. Without this moat, people living on the other side of the river can come directly.

The glass lantern floated towards the surface of the lake without stopping. Huang Er worried: "Could it be that he was caught and skinned by the humans on the other side?"

The refugees from the Thousand Food Countries were resettled in Chunming City, and they generally lived on the outskirts of the city, and some of them were resettled on the other side of the big lake, about 2,000 households.

Yan Saburo was silent, jumped off the shore, and headed for the ice.

After walking another twenty or thirty feet, you can see a faint figure shaking in front of you, accompanied by the sound of smashing objects.

Yan Saburo suddenly spoke: "Be careful under your feet, they are digging an ice cave." ”

Xiao Huang Si shrank into her sister's palm and probed her brain, and whispered, "What are they doing?"

"Catch fish. "Yan San used to live in Yicheng, and that place was also bitter cold in winter and spring. The poor were so hungry that they couldn't stand it and went up to the glacier to make holes. If the surface of the lake and river freezes, and the fish below lack oxygen, they will subconsciously swim to the mouth of the hole, which is easy to catch.

It's just that this kind of ice cave will be covered after a few heavy snowfalls, or turn into thin ice, that is, a hole that can devour people, and Yan Saburo has seen people fall down with his own eyes.

Getting closer and closer to the front, the cold wind howled in all directions, and the white cat lay comfortably in his arms: "Don't worry, as long as I want, ordinary people can't see the glass lamp." ”

After a few breaths, Yan Saburo approached the civilians in front of him. The dozen or so people on the other side turned their heads, their eyes were calm, and they were not surprised to see anything abnormal.

Soon, Yan Saburo and his entourage walked through the crowd and walked straight forward. At this time, you have to pay attention to your feet, and the ice cave often comes unexpectedly.

This time, when we were about to reach the shore, the glass lantern finally stopped and slowly descended to the ice.

Huang He's heart pounded when he saw it, and he was frightened: "I won't really take it under this ice!" His son is a weasel, not a fish! If he had been underwater for several hours, wouldn't he have been suffocated to death long ago?!

Yan Saburo said in a deep voice: "Go down and take a look." ”

The white cat patted him on the chest and reminded him, "Take the beads." ”

On such a cold day, the water was bitterly cold, and she didn't want to get wet! Besides, she was a cat now, and cats were afraid of water.

It was cold, and the ice here was two feet thick, Yan Saburo took out a pearl from his arms and tied it around his waist, while looking around.

Fortunately, there is a large hole in the ice five paces away, just for children to enter, and it has not yet been closed.

He asked the weasel family, "Do you know water?"

The Huang family nodded together. This animal, unlike cats, is born to swim.

"Go down. ”

Huang He was already impatient, and as soon as Yan Saburo gave the order, he jumped down with a "plop".

The glass lamp also floated down, entering the water as if it were nothing, emitting a faint yellow light in the dark and deep lake.

Yan Saburo followed Huang Er and swallowed the water slowly, without even making a splash.

First of all, he is very sorry for his life, the underwater environment is unknown, and he needs the Huang family to explore the way first, and secondly, this can be regarded as helping Huang He to watch the rear. This old yellow skin is worried about his son's safety, his heart is in turmoil, and he has lost his usual caution.

Yan Saburo slipped into the water, and the surrounding lake suddenly receded, leaving him three feet of space around him.

The pearl he tied around his waist was a pearl of water. This is one of the five treasures that he and Chitose selected from the stolen goods of the Hengxi caravan, and at that time he thought that people in the water are not as flexible as swimming fish, and Chitose's cat body is very afraid of water, so it is better to choose this bead in case of emergency.

I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

He knew how to water, but the waters around him receded, so he sank to the bed of the lake like a scale.

The lake is less than two feet (nearly seven meters) deep, but the light from the ice is extremely weak, and the bottom of the lake is still dark.

The glass lamp followed him all the time, illuminating the scene within three feet for him. It's not that Chitose is stingy, but if you put a high-brightness searchlight under such dark water, it's too easy to be targeted by the enemy who is lurking in the dark.

"The glass lamp has been affected underwater?" Yan Saburo looked around vigilantly and asked the white cat in his arms. Protected by water beads, her beautiful fur is not wet at all.

"Hmm. "In low-light environments, the cat's pupils become large and round, like the eyes of a human baby. Now, Chitose's eyesight is better than Swallow Saburo's. She leaned on Yan Saburo's shoulder and looked back, helping him observe the blind spot behind him. "Except for the special talent of the water tribe, the supernatural powers of most terrestrial creatures cannot penetrate the thick water body. ”

Water is the best body.

In addition to the small fish that are the size of the palm, visitors can also see the outline of the big fish in the water through the dim light, which are at least three or four feet long (more than one meter) to lay the bottom, or larger. Unfortunately, they are wary of outsiders, and often swim away without waiting for them to get close, making it difficult to see the beginning and the end.

Strange to say, most fish have phototaxis, but they don't gravitate towards the light of glass lamps. Yan Saburo asked, and Chitose replied to him: "These fish are too stupid, and the light of the glass lamp is usually only seen by intelligent beings or divine souls. ”

Now that they had been planted at the bottom of the lake, the glass lantern chose another direction to drift forward and continue to lead the way.

Yan Saburo lowered his voice: "In other words, capturing Huang Da that thing may ambush us at any time?"

"Hmm. The white cat's voice sounded very unhappy, and she almost bit his ear, "I just warned you, don't rush into the water, it will be dark in another hour." ”

"It's inconvenient to push and drag. "Since Huang He opened his mouth to ask for help, they still pushed and blocked, how can people be willing to do things for them wholeheartedly in the future?
