Above the lake, the waves were rolling and the water level was rising rapidly, and it didn't take long for the lake to rise two feet higher.

Di Qingzhu, Bai Lizhen, and Cairou were originally sitting cross-legged on the grass by the lake to meditate and heal their wounds, but when they heard the sound of roaring water, they immediately opened their eyes and looked at the lake.

The big wave surged, the three of them changed their expressions, and hurriedly retreated to the rear, and a moment later, the big wave flooded the place where the three of them had just crossed their knees.

"I didn't expect him to have such a formation attainment. ”

Di Qingzhu's eyes flashed, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he muttered in a low voice.

Bai Li Zhen and Cai Rou's faces were also shocked, they already knew Qiao Yuan's idea of emptying the water at the bottom of the lake, but they didn't expect Qiao Yuan to really arrange a formation to isolate the lake water in just a few hours.

The three of them penetrated into the lake, and immediately saw a waterless area within a radius of ten miles under the bottom of the lake, and Qiao Yuan was sitting cross-legged in it.

Since Lu Nan came out of the lake, he has been standing on the surface of the lake with a restless heart, waiting quietly.

Now that he saw that Qiao Yuan had really laid out a formation to isolate the lake, he was also slightly relieved in his heart.

Qiao Yuan in the lake didn't care about the thoughts of Lu Nan and the others, and after he arranged this water-breaking array, he immediately meditated cross-legged to recover the spiritual power in his body.

Now that time is urgent, it will definitely be extremely unfavorable for Qu Yunwei to drag it out, so Qiao Yuan did not waste a little time.

He even took out a few high-grade spirit stones and held them in his hand, and quickly absorbed them.

After a stick of incense, Qiao Yuan felt that the spiritual power in his body had recovered eighty or ninety, so he got up and walked out of the formation, and came to another place in the lake, preparing to arrange the second water breaking array.

This time, Qiao Yuan arranged the water-breaking array much faster than the first one, the most important thing was that he only failed once, so it only took less than two hours for this second water-breaking array to take shape.

The water roared, the waves rose again, and it wasn't long before the lake rose two more feet.

In this way, ten hours later, Qiao Yuan finally laid out the fifth water-breaking array.

The five formations were connected together, like five big bowls clasped in the lake, blocking all the water at the bottom of the lake.

The bottom of the lake is not all silt, some places are rocky, and others are covered with dense aquatic weeds.

At this moment, because the lake was cut off, countless fish and shrimp struggled in the mud, and many of them were first- to second-order demon beasts.

Qiao Yuan had no intention of harming these creatures, and with a wave of his sleeves, a violent wind swirled, sending those fish, shrimp, and demon beasts out of the formation.

After doing this, Qiao Yuan sat down cross-legged and recovered the spiritual power in his body again.

This time, he had to restore the spiritual power in his body to the fullest state, otherwise he would not be able to exert the power of the Flowing Moon Fan.

Qiao hid and meditated for two incense sticks, and when his body was full of spiritual power, he slowly opened his eyes.

Without thinking, Qiao Yuan's heart moved, and a tattered leaf fan appeared in his hand.

Qiao Yuan was already well aware of the situation at the bottom of the lake, and there were a few places where the silt was thickest and deepest, and the golden eyes and golden scales were most likely to be hidden in those places.

So Qiao Yuan took the Flowing Moon Fan, and in a flash, he came to a place that he thought was the most likely.

This place is the deepest part of the lake, and it is also the center of the lake, and the silt under it cannot be explored even if Qiao Yuan pours out his divine sense.

Qiao Yuan hung in the air, his eyes slightly closed, his mind slowly calmed down, and there were words in his mouth.

The Flowing Moon Fan is not an ordinary magic weapon, and if you want to use it, you still need to cooperate with the formula, with Qiao Yuan's cultivation, he has only mastered the first mantra now.

This first mantra can only urge one leaf of the leaf fan, Rao is like this, the flame on it is not something that the foundation building monk can resist, even if it is a monk in the early stage of Jindan, if he does not die, he will be seriously injured.

Qiao Yuan's lips kept opening and closing, and some words that were difficult for others to hear came out slowly, until after more than ten breaths, Qiao Yuan's right hand was raised and slammed downward.

Under this fan, an inch-high flame suddenly burst out from the tattered leaf fan, and the moment the flame appeared, the spiritual power in Qiao Yuan's body was instantly drained away.

After each breath, the spiritual power in Qiao Yuan's body will be drained by one and a half percent, and after five breaths, the spiritual power in Qiao Yuan's body is already only one percent.

Qiao Yuan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly sealed the meridians in his body, and he could no longer let the Flowing Moon Fan absorb spiritual power.

Now the flames on the moon fan are no longer inches, but have reached a height of five inches.

The five-inch-tall flame looked inconspicuous, swaying from side to side, as if it could be extinguished as soon as the wind blew, but Qiao looked at it from afar, but he could feel the terrifying power contained in the five-inch flame.

"I'm afraid that even if the early Jindan monks are touched by this flame, they will be wiped out in an instant. ”

Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed, and he muttered in a low voice.

He had only used the Flowing Moon Fan twice, the first time when he had just obtained it, and the second time when he fought against the demon tree vines on the lake.

During those two uses, Qiao Yuan's cultivation was in the middle stage of foundation building, and the spiritual power in his body was far inferior to what it is now, at most, it was to trigger a three-inch-high flame.

Now this five-inch-tall flame is not comparable to the power of a three-inch-tall flame.

Qiao Yuan's words fell, and he waved the fan in his right hand, and with this wave, the inconspicuous five-inch flame came out of the fan and went straight to the bottom of the lake and fell.

The moment the flames broke away from the leaf fan, a high temperature immediately spread, and the heat wave rolled and fell on Qiao Yuan's body, instantly making his clothes wet with sweat.

Even though it was extremely hot, Qiao Yuan didn't frown, his eyes staring at the flame.

Although there is no lake here, it is at the bottom of the lake, and the water vapor is very strong, but as soon as this flame appears, the water vapor immediately evaporates and floats rapidly upward.

At the same time, there were bursts of white gas rising from the silt at the bottom of the lake, and before the flames were near, the silt was dry and cracked like a field that had not rained for decades.

Cracks stretched out one after another, and there was a clicking sound, and a large amount of white gas was steaming up from those cracks.

The flames did not slow down, and finally after more than ten breaths, they fell on the dry and cracked mud.

In just a few breaths, a hundred feet around the flames turned into a dry land, and there was no more water.

If this is the case, but there is no moisture on the surface of the silt, then there is still moisture in the deeper places.

So under Qiao Yuan's control, the five-inch flame fell into it along a one-foot-wide crack.

Where the flames passed, the black mud instantly turned into a scorched earth, and at the same time, the one-foot-wide crack expanded to three feet in the blink of an eye.

As the flames fell, the rift continued to expand.

Qiao Yuan's consciousness spread, and he was extremely focused on observing the situation in the mud, if there was a slight movement in the golden eyes and golden scales, then he would instantly detect it.

Time passed slowly, and the flames fell deeper and deeper, and now the crack was like a ravine lying across the bottom of the lake, a foot wide.

When the flame fell thirty zhang below the silt, Qiao Yuan's divine sense suddenly sensed a trace of movement.

In the mud more than ten feet away from this ravine, a big fish was twisting its body at this moment, and it quickly fled into the distance.

Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed, and he directly locked on to the big fish with his divine sense, and then his body moved, and he quickly chased in the direction where the big fish had fled.

As long as it is locked by Qiao Yuan's divine sense, unless the big fish can rush out of the range shrouded by Qiao Yuan's divine consciousness in one go, it will never be possible to get rid of Qiao Yuan's tracking.

Qiao Yuan didn't just track, now he only had one percent of the spiritual power left in his body, even if he caught the big fish, I am afraid there was no way to take it, so the moment Qiao Yuan found the big fish, he transmitted the message to Lu Nan.

Lu Nan on the lake, when he received Qiao Yuan's transmission, his gloomy face immediately changed.

After he informed the three Di Qingzhu, who were still healing, the news to the three, he plunged into the lake and dived towards the bottom of the lake.

"Senior Sister Cairou, you wait on the shore, let's go down and have a look. ”

Di Qingzhu stood up and whispered to Cairou who was worried, and after saying that, she fell into the lake, Bai Lizhen didn't say a word, and followed Di Qingzhu closely.

The water breaking formation will only isolate the lake, and it will not stop Lu Nan and the others.

After the three of them appeared at the bottom of the lake, they swept their senses and found Qiao Yuan who was galloping towards the distance.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them hurriedly chased after Qiao Yuan, but when they saw the cracked soil at the bottom of the lake and the crack that was one foot wide, they were all shocked in their hearts.

However, there was no time to delve into it at the moment, so the three of them followed Qiao Yuan's divine sense to lock on to the big fish that was shuttling in the mud.

"Evil beast!"

Lu Nan was furious in his heart, and he shouted, and then he slapped the storage bag, and seven one-foot-long short swords appeared in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Nan directly controlled the seven short swords and flew towards the front, intending to seal the way of the big fish.

At the same time, Di Qingzhu and Bai Lizhen also shot together, and they each took out their spiritual weapons and threw them in the left and right directions of the big fish.

When Qiao Yuan saw this scene, he didn't say anything, but he took out the twelve purple silver knives very tacitly, and manipulated the twelve purple silver knives to seal the big fish's retreat.

The spiritual weapons of the four people all broke through the mud and headed straight for the four directions of the big fish.

When the big fish found this scene, he seemed to be frightened, and immediately stopped his body and drilled further down.

Qiao Yuan had already expected it, and with a wave of his hand, the Fengyuan Sword appeared in his hand, and then he injected the little spiritual power in his body into it, and waved his hand violently, throwing the sword towards the mud below.

The Wind Abyss Sword was like a hurricane, and under the roar, it directly broke through the silt and chased towards the big fish.

"Why was this beast so fierce before, but now it runs away when it sees people?"

Di Qingzhu and Bai Lizhen's faces showed doubts, and they thought of this question at the same time in their hearts.

The divine sense sensed the way the big fish was desperately fleeing, and Qiao Yuan also understood in his heart that this beast was indeed extremely timid, not that Cang Tai had misjudged.

But even so, he didn't have the slightest intention of soft-heartedness.

Seeing that the big fish was getting deeper and deeper, Qiao Yuan's expression showed decisiveness, and then his figure moved, and a spiritual power light curtain condensed around his body, and he plunged directly into the mud.

Lu Nan hesitated for a moment, and after following Qiao Yuan, he burrowed into the mud.

As for Di Qingzhu and Bai Lizhen, they didn't follow, the two of them firmly locked on the big fish that was still fleeing, and at the same time controlled the spirit weapon with all their strength and tracked it away.

The speed of the big fish is extremely fast, and it is even more like a fish in water in the silt, while Qiao Yuan and Lu Nan are severely limited, and their speed is far from comparable.

Although they couldn't catch up, the two of them were persevering, tracking while controlling the spirit weapon attack.

Although the attack on the big fish was not as good as tickling, the big fish was very scared, and every time it was attacked, it would let out a wail, and it was a little faster.

In this way, the four people and one fish started a guerrilla war of attrition, and the result was not to be imagined, naturally Qiao Yuan and the others were exhausted.

However, just when the only remaining spiritual power in Qiao Yuan's body was about to be exhausted, his divine sense caught an extremely familiar voice.

"Qiao Yuan, you guys retreat quickly, I'm fine. ”
