Chapter 156: The Desert Becomes a Giant Lake
Looking at the lake with no end in sight ahead, like a mirror, the experts who have studied the geological changes of Lop Nur are really surprised.
In the middle of the lake, the clouds and mist are misty, like a dream.
The six experts, including Pan Wu, Zhu Lun, and Du Heng, were all shocked, which was very different from their perception of Lop Nur, and they felt fantastical for a while.
Where does this water come from, when does it appear, and why does it suddenly appear?
Six experts got together and had a lot of discussions.
The 6 special soldiers who accompanied the team only knew that Lop Nur was a desert and occasionally had an oasis, so they didn't feel much surprised by the appearance of the lake, anyway, the incredible things were left to the experts to worry about.
Xiang Yihang, Qin Ruxue and other cultivators also gathered together, looking at the huge lake in front of them, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
Didn't you say that danger was going to come out, and why was it a lake that came out?
Xiang Yihang's divine thoughts penetrated into the lake and found that the deeper the water went to the center.
However, the radius of his current divine mind is only close to 20 kilometers, and he cannot detect the hydrological situation in the most central place.
At this time, quite a few cultivators were rushing towards this side, and some of them were coming from the air with flying swords.
Xiang Yihang swept his mind and found that he had seen many cultivators at the Bamian Mountain Trade Fair.
The Bamian Mountain Trade Fair gathered most of the world's cultivators, but the total was only more than 300 people, and it was not difficult for Xiang Yihang to write it down. It's just that he didn't go out of his way to remember it at the time, but he was somewhat impressed.
The cultivator who came over on the flying sword, Xiang Yihang had already seen that those flying swords were refined by him and Qin Ruxue.
However, the person who refined the flying sword at that time was only dealing with Cui Tong, and did not see Xiang Yihang and Qin Ruxue.
Therefore, these monks who came over with flying swords, after greeting the Infinite Dao Lord and Lu Ping, and then greeted Cui Tong, and began to focus on the lake in front of them.
Xiang Yihang guessed that there should be other cultivators in other places on the lakeside.
None of the expedition teams from various countries that have gathered in Loulan have yet reached the lakeside.
When night fell, three more cultivators galloped towards the location of Xiang Yihang and the others, all of whom were at the sixth level of Qi cultivation.
As soon as he arrived in front of Xiang Yihang and the others, he arched his hand and said, "Daoist, I'm too late." ”
The Immeasurable Dao Lord waved his hand and said, "That's right." Let me introduce you to a few of you, this is Xiang Yihang's senior, and he is the leader of this expedition. ”
The three of them greeted Xiang Yihang.
It turned out that these three people were cultivators and scientists who had been in charge of monitoring the dangerous situation of Lop Nur, one was named Luo Jia, one was called Wei Jiang, and the other was called Guangkun.
"Can you tell us about the situation?" Xiang Yihang said to the three of them, his face calm.
The three of them were led by Luo Jia, so he said: "Senior, the three of us have been in charge of monitoring this place for thirty years, and everyone basically knows the previous situation. I'll just talk about what's going on. The geological conditions of this perilous situation began to change at an accelerated rate 20 days ago, so we guessed at the time that it was only a month at most until it opened. For now, the predictions are largely correct. And this big lake appeared last night. Originally, I wanted to report to the Taoist master by phone last night, but I couldn't get in touch. ”
"Can you see where this lake water comes from?" asked Xiang Yihang.
"The lake appeared out of thin air, and according to our guess, it must have suddenly emerged from the ground. Before the lake appeared, everything was normal except for the sand that accelerated upwards. ”
"In your opinion, there will be something down here?" Xiang Yihang saw that the three of them didn't say anything of reference value, so he asked casually.
"Senior, I really don't dare to speculate on this, and we will only know when the danger is really born. Luo Jia arched his hand and said.
"Okay. It's getting dark, so let's find a higher place to rest first. Xiang Yihang said, and then was led by three Xiuzhen scientists to a higher place.
When the other cultivators saw Xiang Yihang and the others leaving the lakeside, they also withdrew to find a place to repair.
That night, the wind and waves were calm, so quiet that there was not even a little breeze, and the previous situation of flying sand at every turn did not happen, and the whole desert was terriblely quiet.
There was no word all night, and the day was very bright.
Xiang Yihang and the others approached the lakeside again and carefully observed the changes in the lake.
Through the scanning, it was found that the water quality had not changed significantly, but the area of the lake had expanded outward, indicating that there was still a steady stream of water pouring in.
By noon, expeditions from various countries had arrived, but many of them were already tired, and some of the expedition had lost some of their supplies.
Seeing that there were many people here, the cultivators gradually gathered at the location of Xiang Yihang and the others.
At this time, the cultivators no longer concealed it, but showed the means of cultivation without scruples, which shocked the eyes of many mortal expedition teams, and since then they have known that this world is not so simple, and the legendary immortal arts and witchcraft are real in the real world, but they usually don't have the opportunity to see them.
Some mortal explorers took out their mobile phones and tried to take pictures of the cultivators' superhuman methods, but without exception, they were smashed by the cultivators. After all, no one wants to be that up-and-coming person, for fear of causing other troubles.
"Mr. Xiang, something is wrong!" said physicist Pan Wei as he walked up to Xiang Yihang and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yihang glanced at Pan Wei and said.
"Since we arrived yesterday, until now, it has been really calm, calmer than the beautiful Jiangnan with the wind and sunshine. It's winter now, and it's a desert area, so it stands to reason that the northwest wind should be raging wildly, and it's normal to fly sand and rocks everywhere!" Pan Wei said as he pondered.
"I agree with Professor Pan's statement, in my opinion, if there will be changes, I am afraid it will be a great change!" Du Heng, director of the National Museum, said on the side.
"So I suggest that our team retreat at least 30 kilometers, and when the danger really opens, we will be flexible according to the situation, what do you think?" Pan Wei suggested to Xiang Yihang.
"You are very thoughtful, just do as you say, Qin Yao, you immediately notify all the team members to retreat. Including all the cultivators, they also retreated together. Xiang Yihang ordered.
He knew that these scientists were not afraid to suggest retreating, but just in case, only by preserving the living force could they do more, and in case of danger, if there was any abnormality, it would be too late to retreat.
In this way, Xiang Yihang and other cultivators immediately retreated with the national team, and did not settle down in a higher place until 30 kilometers away from the lakeside.
When the teams of other countries saw the Huaxia expedition retreating, some of them also retreated, but most of them remained in place, waiting to seize the opportunity, but they were reminded by the retreat of Huaxia, and all the teams that stayed in place picked up their weapons and equipment and waited for battle.
And the cultivators, many people saw the Immeasurable Dao Lord and Lu Ping retreating, and they also retreated silently.
"The wind is blowing!" said Zhu Lun, a chemist and geologist.
"Well, it seems to be getting bigger and bigger!" Pan Wu said.
"Senior, Dao Master, I'm afraid the danger will open up soon, so be prepared!" reminded Luo Jia, a cultivator scientist.
The Infinite Dao Lord looked at Xiang Yihang, did not speak, and waited for Xiang Yihang to give an order.
"Yes, the wind is getting stronger, and strangely enough, it is blowing out from the center of the lake. Everyone, get ready! Qin Yao, send the weapons to the team members!
Wuliang, Lu Ping, the two of you will be responsible for the perimeter guard, unless you are irresistible, or block all dangers. Xiang Yihang quickly explained.
In fact, he really wanted to go to the lakeside to observe, even if there was a major mutation, he was confident that he could handle it. But now he is the leader of the national team, and he can only lead by example and be tied to the team.
Just when everyone was waiting, a few "whoosh" sounds came, but there were 3 people driving flying swords and flying over everyone's heads.
"Hey, Foundation Building Period Monks!Immeasurable Dao Master, didn't you say that there were no Foundation Building Stage Monks on Earth before?, where did these people come from?" Xiang Yihang asked, he was also a little shocked, the three people who just flew by, one of them was the third layer of the foundation, and the other two were the second layer of the foundation.
He knew that he and Qin Ruxue had been promoted to the foundation building stage cultivators, relying on the top exercises and the unintentional selfless dual cultivation realm, while the Immeasurable Dao Lord and Lu Ping had relied on pills to advance. He couldn't figure out how there were other foundation building monks in the poor earth, how did they advance, did they also rely on pills?
The Immeasurable Dao Lord and Lu Ping Shennian naturally also saw the three foundation building monks flying high above their heads, and the two of them were also surprised, before they met Xiang Yihang, they thought they were the most powerful monks on the earth, and they didn't think that there were at least three foundation building monks above their heads, looking at the situation, those three people definitely did not break through to the foundation building recently, because they couldn't see through the cultivation of others, which showed that the cultivation of the first phase of foundation building was higher than the cultivation of the two of them.
It turned out that they just didn't show up, and the Infinite Dao Master and Lu Ping had a little mixed feelings in their hearts.
