Chapter 51: The Patron Saint of Hoh Xil

Tian Xu was in the air, and the water traces on his body exploded into mist under the shock of the aura, and it was already dry when he landed.

The food in the pot was already cooked, he extinguished the flame, let the high-pressure steamer for the plateau slowly cool down, and rubbed his hands and waited beside him, like an anxious child.

It seems that after waiting for a century for so long, he finally ate the food in his mouth, and Tian Xu wanted to sing happily. But before he could be happy, the man who disturbed his meal came.

His olfactory imaging detected a pickup truck approaching him from the southeast.

After staying here for a few days, Tian Xu became more and more familiar with the environment here, and the detection distance of olfactory imaging was also extended a lot, plus the pickup truck came from the direction of the upwind, Tian Xu found it nearly two kilometers away.

But he ignored the car and was immersed in eating. There were a few ordinary people in the car, and there was nothing to pay special attention to.

The car was parked more than ten meters away from Tian Xu, but the few people who got down from it surprised him a little. There were five people, two with dark skin, like people from the South Asian continent, one was white, and only two looked like Chinese, but the look on their faces showed that they were from big cities.

One of the yellow men asked, "Who are you, why are you here alone?" and his accent was very stiff.

This person spoke very rudely, Tian Xu rolled his eyes and looked at him, but he didn't speak, but he was still alert in his heart. Several people were carrying guns, and the last person to get out of the car was standing next to the car, carrying an AK in his hand.

He had already scanned the car's closed cargo box, which contained a large pile of Tibetan antelope skins and the carcass of a snow leopard. These people had apparently come here to poach, and Tian Xu heard them speaking English when they communicated with each other. Tian Xu's English has been practiced very well with his parents since he was a child, and he clearly hears them discussing how to deal with him.

This is a group of outlaws, casually discussing killing themselves, just to extinguish their mouths and rob their own stoves.

When he was almost finished, Tian Xu stood up, took out a napkin from the space to wipe his mouth, took out a water cup to drink, and finally took out a pair of big pants from the space and put them on, he was still not used to moving in front of others with his bare buttocks.

Those people looked at him dumbfounded like a trick, and all kinds of things appeared in his hands one after another, and some of them couldn't accept it for a while. I heard Tian Xu say: "Tibetan antelopes and snow leopards live freely here, why do you have to kill them? Despise the lives of others, just to satisfy your own selfish desires, nature will punish you." "He speaks English.

The leading yellow man shouted, "Kill him!

At the same time as Tian Xu shouted, a flying knife had already hit the chamber of the AK rifle in the distance, and the flying knife went straight into it, cutting the bullet inside in half. The guy with the gun didn't react at all, he still raised the gun to shoot, and with a loud "bang", the gun exploded, and the man's hands and face were dripping with blood, and his face was full of confusion.

The other four people were originally surrounding Tian Xu, but suddenly felt a strong coercion, and their bodies did not obey the call, and they fell to the ground one after another. Tian Xu used the aura released to seal the meridians of the four people, and then pointed to the person in the distance, the aura condensed into a thin wisp, and also sealed his meridians, so he ignored them anymore, took care of himself, put away the dishes by himself, and after putting the things into the space one by one, he plunged into the water and never appeared again.

Whether the five poachers were eaten by wolves or snow leopards, or starved to death here, was not his concern.

In fact, the luck of these people was quite good, and the next day someone from the anti-poaching group came here and saved the three people who were still alive. Only two were eaten by wolves.

The remaining three said in unison that they had met the gods, and their colorful descriptions matched the marks on the ground, making it hard not to believe their claims. Since then, the legend of the patron saint of Hoh Xil has spread so far that poachers are almost extinct.

......

Tian Xu didn't know this, he had a new adventure.

After entering the water this time, he completed the rest of the small half-circle journey around the lake, and found nothing special, so he swam casually towards the middle of the lake in the direction in which the river flows.

After swimming more than 100 meters, a deep ditch appeared at the bottom of the lake, the width of the ditch was more than 20 meters, and the closer it was to the center of the lake, the deeper it became, and the deepest part reached more than 30 meters, which was more than twice as deep as other places. The water is so clear that at the bottom of the ditch there is still sunlight streaming in, and you can vaguely see the scene below.

The bottom of the lake is craggy, and the water is bitterly cold. However, despite the cold, there are still aquatic plants growing here.

The leaves of this plant are the size of a palm, stretching out in the water, as if you can feel the cold, and you look shrunken.

At this time, the sun began to set in the west, and the evening in this deep ravine came much earlier than the water. When the sunlight disappeared, the leaves rolled up like kuding tea at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the plant, which was originally a meter in size, shrunk into a ball and became the size of a basketball.

Tian Xu didn't feel the special aura fluctuations, so he didn't pay much attention to these plants. However, when he was probing these plants, he noticed that there was something strange about the aura on the water surface above, as if something was circulating the aura. In the water, his olfactory imaging is very limited, and he is unable to see on the surface of the water.

He swam to the surface and was surprised to find a clump of aquatic weeds suspended more than a foot above the surface. This aquatic plant is dark red in color, and on the slender stem grows circles of small leaves, each with seven leaves, forming the shape of a wheel. On top of this mass of aquatic plants, there are small white flowers, which are very inconspicuous. The flower is only the size of a soybean, and it has nine petals, each of which is the size of a sesame seed, but it is very thick. In the middle of the petals, a small cluster of pale yellow stamens reveals a very rich aura.

That aura was like substance, which made Tian Xu, who had inadvertently inhaled when he had just arrived, feel refreshed, he had never encountered such a rich, pure, smart and lively aura.

This clump of aquatic plants was only the size of half a desk's desktop, and it did not take root underneath or surface, it was suspended in the water less than a meter above the surface, and it did not flow with the current, and even went against the direction of the current. When Tian Xu looked closely, he found that the small leaves growing on the grass stems were slightly swinging in the water, as if they were paddling.

There are many flowers in aquatic plants, there are always dozens, maybe even hundreds. In the middle of the aquatic plants, there are also some fruits growing. The fruits were so large for the flowers and leaves that they were the size of eggs. The base color of the fruit is green, but there are white and red stripes growing on it, and it looks very beautiful. In the fruit, there was no aura coming out, but when Tian Xu used the aura to probe, he found that his aura could not penetrate into the fruit at all, so the internal situation was unknown. But after his investigation, Tian Xu found that it was not that there was no aura in the fruit, but that the aura was too dense, almost all condensed together, and it did not emit outward at all.
