Chapter 877: Something's happened
The sable, which had initially shown some resistance, immediately perked up upon hearing this: "Squeak?"
Seeing that it understood what she was saying, Chi Xing liked it even more: "Really, if she doesn't have time to come see you, I'll take you to find her!"
The sable, which had been looking forward to something, immediately wilted and whimpered, "Waaah!"
Zhou Wannian continued to explain, "Its parents are here, so it can't leave Dabai Mountain. Otherwise, it would have left with Ayin long ago! Hahaha, don't pay attention to it, it will be fine on its own in a while."
Chi Xing felt a little disappointed, but still tried to reach out: "Can I hug you?"
The sable sniffed and looked at Zhou Wansheng.
Zhou Wansheng handed it over: "Here you go."
Seeing this, the sable also stretched out its hands to hug him. Mainly, Chi Xing really had Gu Yin's scent on him, and it missed him a lot. Hugging him wouldn't hurt.
Jin Wanli looked at the sable in Chi Xing's arms and pointed at it, saying, "It's quite intelligent. If you raise it well, it will be an excellent helper."
"Squeak?" The sable looked at Jin Wanli curiously. Jin Wanli touched its forehead and turned to continue walking inside.
As they approached the inside, the sable struggled to get off Chi Xing, but Chi Xing quickly hugged it tightly, saying, "What are you doing? Stay put!"
Zhou Wansheng quickly reached out: "It can't get in there. Animals around the lake can't get close or stay there. They can only wait here."
Upon hearing this, Chi Xing released his grip: "That's amazing?"
Jin Wanli, who was standing to the side, stretched out his hand: "Little thing, come here, I'll take you inside."
Upon hearing this, the sable looked at him, and just when Zhou Wansheng thought it would refuse, the little thing stood up and leaped over!
"Senior, is it alright if it follows you inside?" Chi Xing asked curiously.
Jin Wanli patted the little thing in his arms and said with a smile, "Let's go in and take the little thing to see what kind of demons and monsters are inside, with so many rules."
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately followed.
Zhou Wansheng had been observing the sable for a long time. After all, he had developed feelings for it. Just like Ah Le, it was still a child.
All the way to the lakeside, the sable showed no unusual behavior. In fact, it stood enthusiastically in Jin Wanli's arms, curiously looking around.
When Jin Wanli saw the lake, he frowned slightly, then strode towards the lakeside.
"No one is allowed to approach here, please step back!" The soldier on guard immediately stopped him, and when he saw the sable in the man's arms, he stepped forward to stop him even more: "An animal will die if it comes in here, please take Zhizhi and leave immediately."
Jin Wanli ignored him, and with a slight flick of his sleeve, the soldier was pushed aside.
Zhou Wansheng quickly stepped forward: "We're here. We only came after we got the passes. You can go back to your work."
The soldier nodded and turned to leave.
Cheng Dong had been observing Jin Wanli's facial expression, and seeing his serious demeanor, he felt a little worried.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem here?"
Jin Wanli didn't reply. He picked up a leaf from the ground and threw it in. The leaf immediately disappeared. Thinking of something, he looked at Zhou Wansheng and said, "Give me that jade bottle."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ran took out the pills from her pocket and handed the bottle to the other person.
Seeing her like this, Jin Wanli's furrowed brows relaxed, and he shook his head helplessly: "Greedy."
Chi Xing, standing nearby, was no longer interested in the pills; the Blackwater Lake in front of them was far more attractive than the pills!
"What is this thing? It looks so eerie."
Jin Wanli remained silent, but bent down with the jade bottle in his hand. As soon as he approached the lake, the sable in his arms began to struggle, its cries filled with extreme fear.
Jin Wanli reached out and patted its head: "Why are you so timid? Don't be afraid, I'm right here, just stay quiet."
Then continue bending over to scoop water.
For some reason, the sable quieted down.
Looking at the jade bottle, which appeared to be perfectly fine, Jin Wanli smelled the lake water and nodded: "When did this thing get here?"
Cheng Dong explained, "I don't know, it just suddenly appeared. The magnetic field here has been constantly disturbed, and it's deep in a primeval forest, so people can't get in, and neither can equipment. It was Gu Yin and Lao Zhou who discovered it when they came over."
“This is Blackwater Lake, also known as Demon Lake. It doesn’t belong here. I knew something was wrong with you. There’s a loophole. Otherwise, how could there be a dragon and two souls? It’s all so strange.”
After saying that, he looked at Cheng Dong and Zhou Wansheng and said, "Have the people here leave for a while. I'll go down and take a look."
Thinking of the other person's identity, Zhou Wansheng went to call him away, while Cheng Dong became worried: "Are you sure you can go in? This thing is extremely corrosive, the kind that leaves no trace of a body, you...."
He wanted to say that he didn't know if your turtle shell could withstand the attack, but he felt that the words were a bit offensive, so he decided to keep quiet.
Jin Wanli handed the sable to him and looked at Chi Xing: "You come down with me, Gu Ran doesn't need to go down." The dragon doesn't have that ability, so it should stay put.
Chi Xing hadn't expected to be able to go down, so she immediately agreed.
After everyone dispersed, Jin Wanli turned around and transformed, and a golden tortoise about five meters in size appeared in front of everyone, as big as a small mountain!
Everyone gasped! It was breathtaking! The scales, reflecting the sunlight, were even more dazzling than gold!
"What about me? What about me? I can't transform yet! How do I get down!"
The golden tortoise turned its head: "Come on, stand on me."
Chi Xing was not afraid upon hearing this and immediately flew up.
To everyone's astonishment, the golden turtle plunged into the water at an incredible speed.
Seeing the golden tortoise disappear, Xiao Sheng finally realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted, "Hey! We haven't told the base yet! Why did you go into the water?! If something happens, how am I supposed to explain to Gu Yin and Elder Jin?!"
Zhou Wansheng: "You can't control them anyway. The old man is confident that nothing will happen if he goes down. But you should still tell Ayin first." Actually, he wasn't sure either, but it was Jin Gui's decision, and no one could stop him!
Xiao Sheng nodded upon hearing this and hurriedly ran outside, not even realizing when the sable had jumped onto his shoulder.
Gu Yin had just come out of the lab when the phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was an encrypted number, she immediately thought of Xiaosheng and answered the call.
"What happened?"
"Senior Jin and Chi Xing have gone down to the bottom of that dark lake! What should we do?"
Gu Yin frowned upon hearing this: "Did they fall down by accident, or did they choose to go down while they were conscious?"
Xiao Sheng quickly explained what had just happened.
Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "If Senior Jin goes down by himself, then he is confident and there is no need to worry too much. But you must keep an eye on things and tell me immediately if anything happens."
Xiao Sheng nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin immediately went to find Old Jin and reported the matter.
After saying that, Gu Yin pinched her brow: "My sixth sense tells me that this matter will not end so simply. I may have to go to Dabai Mountain."
Old Jin sighed: "I know. Then you can hand over the experiments you have to them first. You can conduct the important experiments when you come back."
That's our ancestor. He can't say the other party was reckless. What can he do? It's our base's ancestor, so our base has to take responsibility.
Gu Yin nodded: "I'll be careful, maybe I won't have to make a trip."
Back in the lab, Gu Yin thought for a moment and then asked 001.
"Send a private message to the cultivation world and ask if something might happen if a thousand-year-old or even ten-thousand-year-old golden tortoise takes a young dragon down to the Blackwater Lake."
001 didn't come out. The equipment here is quite advanced, making it easy to detect its presence. It just nodded in Gu Yin's mind: "Okay, I'll ask. But based on my experience, nothing should happen. Not only will nothing happen, but there might even be new discoveries. I also have a feeling that the golden tortoise might leave this world with us. I don't know whether to say you're lucky or just lucky!"
Gu Yin didn't think too much about it: "Don't worry about those things for now, go and ask the Medicine Sect first."
Half an hour later, Gu Yin finished her experiment and then remembered to tell 001 about it.
"001, what did the people from the Medicine Sect say?"
002 was frustrated: "There's been no reply at all. They usually reply very quickly. This time it's so quiet."
Gu Yin frowned: "Could something have happened over there? Oh well, why don't you go ask around the Three Thousand Worlds All Passage and see if anyone knows anything?"
Even if something happens to the Medicine Sect, she probably won't be able to help much.
"As expected of my host! We have such a perfect understanding! I sent the message to the Three Thousand Worlds channel long before there was any news from the Medicine Sect."
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow: "So, you made a mistake?"
001 paused for a moment, then sighed: "Some guy replied to me and asked me to send him a picture of the golden tortoise. He suspects it's his ancestor! His ancestor has been missing for a long time. I got excited and sent it to him."
Gu Yin: "...And then?"
001: "...Then he lost confidence, but before he lost confidence, he gave me a large sum of gold coins and points."
Gu Yin: "..."
