Ling'er nodded at Qi Yang, and then looked down at the lake. Then she plucked a small grass and submerged one end of it in the lake.

To everyone's shock, where the grass touched the lake, it withered and turned into charred residue!

"This ......" Zhong Long pointed to the half-corroded grass in Ling'er's hand and took two steps back.

Zhong Gong grabbed Zhong Long and reminded: "Don't retreat farther and farther, it's not necessarily safer in the grass." ”

"That water ......" Zhong Long looked at his brother in horror.

"It's really useless! Just take care of your legs and don't jump. Zhong Gong said helplessly.

"Am I so stupid?" Zhong Long puffed out his cheeks and glared at Zhong Gong dissatisfied. Then, he thought of something again, turned his head and asked Qi Yang: "Then do you still want to jump into the lake to find clues?"

Qi Yang looked at Zhong Long helplessly, could he still sneak into the lake in this situation?

Qi Yang was pondering how to reply to Zhong Long when he noticed that his robe was being pulled by Ling'er again. He turned his head to look at Ling'er, only to see Ling'er looking at him worriedly, as if he was afraid that he would leave.

Could it be that the girl is also worried that she will jump into the lake? Qi Yang was stunned for a moment.

Ling'er was indeed a little worried. What Qi Yang wants to do, there is only what you dare not think, and there is nothing he does not dare to do.

"What the hell is going on with this water?" Ji Cangyu finally asked the crux of the question.

Qi Yang understood that Ling'er knew more about the poison in the water, so he motioned for her to answer.

"The water of this lake contains a venom called 'Soul Eater'. Ling'er replied.

"Is it the kind of terrible potion that when you touch an object, it will turn into black charcoal, and it can only be held in a special bottle?" asked Liu Chuyuan in surprise.

"Not bad. But Liu Shaoxia was talking about a thick 'soul erosion', and the venom in the lake water had been washed very thin. Ling'er said, looking at Qi Yang, "However, this lake water will still burn the skin and kill people when it touches the body." ”

"I know that. Please rest assured, girl!" Qi Yang replied seriously.

Only then did Ling'er loosen Qi Yang's robe.

"Is there really a 'soul eclipse' in this lake?" Zhao Xinghe asked suspiciously, "Then why haven't the few wooden stakes in the lake turned into black charcoal?"

"The stake must have been coated with tung oil to keep the venom out. Qi Yang said his speculation.

"What you say makes sense!" Although Zhao Xinghe said this, his tone was unconvinced.

Jiang Yu immediately came out to ease the atmosphere and said to Qi Yang: "I think the second senior brother must also be curious about how the young man found out that there is something strange in this lake. ”

"I want to know too. Zhong Gong echoed.

"I found that the sand on the shore was not growing, and occasionally one or two weeds popped up, and only a small wilted rhizome remained. There was nothing in the lake except for the stakes. There are no small fish and shrimp, and there is not even a single aquatic plant growing! In addition, the color of the lake is also strange, and I thought of the poison 'soul erosion' that is black in the green. Qi Yang patiently explained.

"I see. Or Ah Yang is observant carefully!" Zhong Gong exclaimed sincerely.

Liu Chuyuan was also convinced of Qi Yang's inference, and couldn't help but ask Qi Yang: "Then why would someone put this pool of poisonous water here?"

"If this is where the entrance is, how can there be no vicious formations to stop outsiders?" Qi Yang asked rhetorically.

"Formation?" Liu Chuyuan repeated.

"If I'm not mistaken, those stakes are the key to opening the entrance. Qi Yang pointed to the wooden stake in the lake and said.

"Then how do you open the entrance?" Ling'er asked curiously.

"Step on the stake at a certain pace and the entrance will open. Qi Yang said his guess.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but when they thought about it, it was really possible.

"Even if you guess correctly, how do you know what steps to use to open the entrance?" asked Ji Cangyu.

Qi Yang lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer. He really hadn't thought of it yet.

"If you use the wrong pace and step on the wrong order, the consequences are ...... It must be serious, right?" Ji Cangyu said lightly.

Of course, Qi Yang knew that this step could not be wrong, but the more anxious he was, the more chaotic his thoughts became.

Ji Cangyu saw Qi Yang's urgency, turned around and said to everyone: "This matter is already a bit eyebrow-raising, and then we just need to plan it well." Let's sit down and eat some dry food! It's not too early."

And they sat down on the ground, took out of their burdens, and ate them.

"Brother Yang, you should eat something first! Fill your stomach before you have the strength to think of a way to crack it. Ling'er saw Qi Yang staring at the lake in a daze, and persuaded.

"I still have a certain understanding of the martial arts of the Western Regions. Most people use nine plum blossom piles to practice footwork. However, there are as many as 12 wooden stakes here. Qi Yang expressed his confusion.

"Do you think that Madame Piaopiao deliberately set up a few more wooden stakes to confuse us?

"The girl is right! maybe you only need to use nine of the stakes to open the entrance, and the other three stakes ......," Qi Yang thought for a moment before continuing, "In addition to confusing us, you can also set up a killing move." ”

"Killing moves?" Ling'er was puzzled.

"Not bad. These stakes are soaked in venom and rely on tung oil to protect them from erosion. However, if any of the stakes are not evenly coated with tung oil, then the venom will seep into the stake from the unevenly coated area. When the pile is subjected to greater pressure, the place where the venom seeps into it will break, and the passer will fall into the venom and die. Qi Yang analyzed.

Ling'er was startled, and was frightened by Qi Yang's four words of "certain death".

"Brother Yang, don't try, it's too dangerous! If the twelve piles are all passive......" Ling'er didn't dare to say any more.

"No! There's nothing else here to use to open the entrance other than those few stakes. Qi Yang said firmly.

Although Ji Cangyu was sitting not far away, he had been paying attention to the conversation between Qi Yang and Ling'er, and at this time he couldn't help but interject: "What if there is no entrance here that you are looking for?"

"That's even more impossible! Qi Yang denied.

"Anyway, your life is your own, love is so tossed, and others can't care about it!" Ji Cangyu didn't know why he suddenly became angry.

Qi Yang turned his head disapprovingly, ignoring Ji Cangyu no longer.

Seeing this, Ji Cangyu became even more angry, and said coldly: "The body is skinned, and the parents are affected." Don't dare to destroy, the beginning of filial piety. I don't know who is so unlucky to give birth to an unfilial son like you!"

Qi Yang's body stiffened, and Ling'er obviously felt that Qi Yang's body exuded a cold killing intent.

Ling'er was startled, and couldn't help but think of the situation in the cabin that day. Could it be that Brother Qi Yang's resentment towards Uncle Ji is due to Brother Qi Yang's parents?
