Chapter Seventy-Four: The Yellow Spring Sets the Moon
"Don't worry, one day you can go back, and that day is not far off. Xiaopeng comforted.
"I hope so, I want to go back to see my mother, I'm afraid she'll be angry with me. Ruyue remembered the scene when her mother forced her to marry with death, and she ran away, afraid that her mother would not be able to think about it, and maybe she would do something.
The two of them were standing on the flying sword and looking down.
At the foot of Xiaopeng and the moon is a very large lake, and the water of the lake is very clear and blue under the sunlight. Maybe it's so deep that you can't see the bottom of the lake with the naked eye.
The lake is surrounded by lush and lush plants, and the plants here are definitely vigorous and full of aura compared to the plants in other places on the Absolute Spirit Star, indicating that there may be spiritual veins here.
Xiaopeng not only had some doubts, since the Huangquan Lake is known as a forbidden area for life, then this plant should also be life, why are the plants here not dying or withering? Xiaopeng thinks that maybe the plants here can adapt to the lake water and will not be harmed.
In other places of the Absolute Spirit Star, there is so little aura, but here it is full of aura, this discovery made Xiaopeng can't help but be a little surprised.
He felt that if the water of Huangquan Lake was thoroughly studied, it was not certain that he would be able to get any benefits.
This lake looks beautiful, but from the surface there is no danger, you can't see it at all. If an unsuspecting animal or monk is thirsty, he would like to take a sip.
The weird thing is that in addition to the amazing scenery. There was no sign of animal activity. For animals that prefer to be close to water sources for easy drinking, the fauna population should be abundant if the water in this lake is drinkable. Not even one.
From this point of view, the lake will inevitably take the lives of the animals, and the animals did not dare to approach the lake, so they all chose the water source again and migrated away.
Since this lake is known as the Yellow Spring, it must be extremely dangerous, without knowing the water of this lake. Xiaopeng and Wanruyue will never venture into the water.
"Ruyue, you stand firm, let me try this Huangquan Lake first. What is so strange about it that can make monks and demon beasts die? ”
"You should also be careful not to touch the lake. Wan Ruyue also reminded.
Xiaopeng's imperial envoy Feijian and Wanruyue came to the lake together, from a small tree next to the lake. Break off a branch. I stuck the branches in the lake to see what would happen, but nothing changed.
"It seems that my analysis is correct, the plants here are not endangered by the lake, not only are they not endangered, but they are also nourished by the lake. ”
"Xiaopeng, look over there. Something seems to be moving there. At this moment, Ruyue pointed towards a shallow beach by the lake.
Xiaopeng's heart jumped. Immediately following the direction of the moon's finger, the distance was a little far, and he couldn't see it very clearly, and the spiritual sense of the opening shrouded the past.
Now I can perceive clearly, it is really an animal, similar to the goats on the earth, with white coat, two horns, and long legs.
The sheep (let's call it a sheep for the time being, Xiaopeng doesn't know what kind of animal it is) doesn't seem to notice that Xiaopeng and Ruyue are paying attention to it.
It looked around warily, and then walked slowly towards the lake, probably thirsty.
When the sheep came to the edge of the lake, he looked around again, and when he was sure that he saw no danger, he lowered his head and began to drink.
The sheep's drinking behavior surprised Xiaopeng and Ruyue, isn't this lake known as the forbidden area of life? Why did that sheep dare to come to drink the lake water?
The water seemed to be really sweet, and the sheep kept drinking the water with its head down.
Xiaopeng and Wan Ruyue kept staring at the sheep to see what would happen to it after it drank the lake water.
As they were watching, the two of them noticed that the sheep was wrong, and the sheep that was drinking the water of the lake suddenly became manic, and it stopped drinking the lake water, and suddenly ran in the direction of the bushes by the lake.
Just as it was about to burrow into the bushes, it seemed to have lost the ability to run, and fell to the ground, convulsed incessantly, and after a short while, it did not move, and lost its vitality and died.
It happened so suddenly, from the time the sheep drank to the time it fell to its death, it was a minute.
This made Xiaopeng and Wan Ruyue finally believe that there must be a big problem with the lake.
And the sheep who drank the water of the lake probably did not know that the water in the lake was not drinkable. The two thought it had stumbled by mistake and died of thirst for drinking the lake.
"The moon in the Yellow Spring is really worthy of its name, and a sheep jumping around has returned to the Yellow Spring in less than a minute. Xiaopeng sighed.
"That sheep is really unlucky, how did it come here, since it's so dangerous, let's not risk going into the water to find the teleportation array. "It's like the moon road.
"Hehe, why do we go into the water to look for it, can't we just scan it with our spiritual sense above the lake?" Xiaopeng said with a smile.
"yes, how did I forget this. Wan Ruyue said embarrassedly.
Just as they were talking, Xiao Peng's spiritual sense inadvertently discovered that the lake water was churning slightly.
"Well, there's something moving in the lake. Xiaopeng couldn't help but say it.
"Where? Let me feel it too. When Ruyue heard Xiaopeng's words, her curiosity also came up.
"Just now where the sheep drank the water of the lake, you see that the lake is moving, and there must be something moving in the lake. ”
"Really, there are animals living in this lake, why isn't this animal marked on the map?"
"I don't know, maybe no one has ever seen it in the lake. Xiaopeng guessed.
"Hey, it's crawling out, you see, what kind of animal is that?" exclaimed Ruyue.
"How does it feel like an oversized toad? "Xiaopeng Spiritual Sense scanned the general appearance of the animal, and it turned out to be like a toad on the earth.
"Toad? I haven't heard of it. This animal is so ugly that I feel sick when I see it. "It's like the moon road.
"The toad is a common animal on the earth, it looks like this, but it is much smaller than it, and there are hundreds of toads on this one. Xiaopeng explained.
"What kind of place is this earth?" asked Ruyue.
"My home is on Earth, and it's a planet. Xiaopeng said.
"Didn't you come up from Canyi Star, why did you come out of Earth again?"
"That's right, my home is on Earth, but I teleported to the Canyi Star through the Guò Array, and then I was taken to the Absolute Spirit Star and stayed until now, do you understand?"
"This star and that star, it's really complicated. Ruyue didn't want to think about it anymore, she felt a headache when she thought about it.
Xiaopeng suddenly discovered that the big toad actually had eight legs. When it surfaced, it crawled towards the shore like a crab.
Seeing this, Xiaopeng named this strange animal again: eight-legged toad.
The eight-legged toad came out of the lake and crawled towards the dead goat, and the crawling speed was not slow, and in a moment it crawled to the goat's side.
When it crawled up to the dead sheep, it opened its big mouth and picked up the dead sheep and crawled towards the lake.
"No wonder this Yellow Spring Lake looks so clean, and there are no animal bones, it is likely that after they drank the lake water and died, they were all dragged away and swallowed by the eight-legged toads in this lake. I guess there should be a population of eight-legged toads living in this lake. Xiaopeng speculated.
"What do you mean by population?" Ruyue asked curiously.
Xiaopeng said in his heart, "It's really a bit of an obstacle to communicate with aliens, it seems that when I return to Earth and bring some common-sense books back, maybe I can sell them for a big price." ”
"The population is like, for example, the eight-legged toad is a species, and then a lot of eight-legged toads live in this lake, and they form a group, which is called a population. Xiaopeng had no choice but to explain.
"Hey, I see, isn't it just a whole bunch of such ugly animals living together and it's called a population?"
"Anyway, you pretty much get it. Xiaopeng said. He didn't bother to explain it anymore, so he assumed that Ruyue was right.
"It's hard to figure out how this ugly monster can live in the water of this lake. Wan Ruyue sighed.
"I guess it's the same as the toad on Earth, it has a venom gland, and this gland is deadly to other animals, but it is immune to itself, so it is not harmed in any way. ”
Xiaopeng guessed that the water quality of the lake should be highly toxic, and this poison was released by the toads living in the lake.
When the animals drink water, or when they go to bathe, the highly toxic lake water quickly soaks into their bodies, and before they know it, it can quickly cause the organs in the animal to fail, and eventually lead to the death of the animal.
At this point in the analysis, Xiaopeng already has an idea. His sword flew above the surface of the lake, and he used his spiritual sense to constantly explore the bottom of the lake, and if there was really a teleportation array at the bottom of the lake, he would definitely be able to find it. There is no need to venture into the water, if there is really a teleportation array at the bottom of the lake, it will not be too late to find a way when the time comes.
Let go of the spiritual sense and look towards the bottom of the lake, the lake is really deep, the deep place can be a hundred meters deep, and the shallow place is also twenty or thirty meters. Xiao Peng's spiritual sense probed around the bottom of the lake, but found nothing, it seems that the possibility of a zài teleportation array at the bottom of the lake can be ruled out, and the only way to find the teleportation array is to go to the next forbidden place to continue the exploration. (To be continued......)
