Chapter 611: The Giant Beast at the Bottom of the Lake
Leaving the mountain temple and heading north, the road became increasingly difficult to travel.
Or maybe there was no road at all, and everyone was just moving back and forth among the rocks covered with snow.
According to Huang Sheng, there are actually several relatively easy routes in the Tianshan Mountains, but the snow is too thick in winter and they can no longer be distinguished.
But this is not a big problem.
At the level of the five people, whether there is a road or not will not affect the speed too much, as long as the direction is correct.
"call!"
The sun is dazzling and the mountain breeze is not strong.
The footprints left on the white snow were very shallow, and no trace could be seen when the wind blew away.
The group was not moving fast, but definitely not slow either. Soon they could no longer see Wangnan Peak and the Mountain God Temple behind them. Everywhere they looked was the same snowy scene.
After climbing over a mountain, you will see the valley of another mountain.
After crossing this valley, there is the peak of another mountain in front of us.
Being surrounded by mountains, it was difficult to judge the "altitude" by feel. Wei Changtian could only infer from the gradually thinning air and the approaching clouds that their current location must be very high.
The sun is shining brightly, and the thick snow refracts the sunlight, making it dazzling. The mist like clouds reflects the peaks of the snow-capped mountains, and being in it feels like being in the sky.
If it were in his previous life, or if it was not long after he traveled through time, Wei Changtian might have admired the magnificence of nature when he saw this scene.
However, he has seen too many magnificent sceneries now, so he can be said to have no waves in his heart at the moment.
In this way, the five of them traveled all day without any rest or even a single word to each other.
The weather was also good. It was quiet throughout the day, and only at night did heavy snow begin to fall.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the snow went from light to torrential and dark.
The cold wind brought snowflakes that blocked the moon, but could not block the moonlight, and even gave people the illusion that they were at dusk.
After walking for another half an hour in the blizzard, everyone finally arrived at today's destination at midnight that night.
Tianshan Fairy Pond.
The bright lake reflects the white snow, and the moonlight is clearly visible.
When the snow-capped mountain lake with billowing white mist appeared before their eyes, the five people decided to take a short rest by the lake and continue their journey after the snow subsided a little.
Although the strong wind and snow would not affect their speed, the heavy snow and darkness would interfere with their vision, and they would not go much faster if they continued walking, so they might as well take a rest.
"Sir, I have already informed Madam Liang Qin that I am safe."
At the lakeside, Zhang San approached Wei Changtian who was sitting on a huge rock and whispered, "Also, General Liang just sent a message saying that the life tablets of all the spies in the enemy army have been broken today."
"Um."
Looking ahead, Wei Changtian nodded slightly.
This was expected, so he was not surprised.
"Anything else?"
"have."
Zhang San continued, "General Liang also said that he would send a large number of scouts into the mountains tomorrow, and the reconnaissance range would be hundreds of miles across the east and west."
"It's just a drop in the ocean over hundreds of miles."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Okay, go and have a rest."
"yes."
“.”
Bowing, Zhang San quickly retreated and found a place sheltered from the wind to sit cross-legged.
The snow was too strong and there was no shelter, so no one was in the mood to light a fire or cook. Everyone took a fasting pill and then went to rest.
Of course, it is impossible to fall asleep in such an environment.
However, they are all practitioners, and meditation can be regarded as rest, so now Zhang San and others are practicing with their eyes closed.
Wei Changtian looked back, then turned his gaze to the big lake in front of him.
The water surface is wide, about the size of ten football fields, and the lake water is very clear.
If it weren't for the strong wind, I would probably be able to see the bottom of the lake at a glance.
When I visited Tianchi in my previous life, the tour guide told me that the reason why Snow Mountain Lake does not freeze is because there is a crater underneath and the geothermal heat causes the water temperature to be stable.
To put it bluntly, it's a hot spring.
I wonder if this is also the reason why this "immortal pond" never freezes all year round . Wei Changtian fantasized for a while, but didn't think about taking a hot spring bath. He soon closed his eyes and fell asleep, continuing to practice his Luoqiong Sword.
The lake light and the heavy snow blend together; the wind blows up the ripples but the mirror is not polished.
Looking from afar, the fairy pond reflects the sky and the white jade plate is filled with stars.
Fairy Pond, Snow, Starlight, Reflection Unlike Wei Changtian and the other three, Yang Liushi, who was also sitting by the lake, did not need to practice, but just looked at the scenery silently, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
She was born in the Shiwan Mountains, which is hot and humid all year round. Not to mention the snowy mountains, she had never even seen snow before she transformed.
Although he later transformed into a human and went to the capital city on Qingxian's orders, he could see several snowfalls of varying sizes every winter, but it was never as shocking as this.
So when Yang Liushi saw this amazing scene, he naturally found it interesting.
However, after looking at it for a while, the feeling in her heart gradually faded away. Out of boredom, she took out the white round bead again.
The moonlight fell on the smooth surface of the beads, reflecting a faint fluorescence, and was then covered by the falling snow.
Yang Liushi read it over and over again for a while and felt that this thing should be unusual, but he didn't know where it was unusual.
All I can say is that this thing has a very weak attraction, as if it is attracting me.
But this feeling is very weak, and it is almost imperceptible unless you deliberately feel it.
"What on earth is it?"
Muttering softly, Yang Liushi gently wiped the snow off the beads and prepared to ask Qingxian after returning to Shuzhou.
However, at this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the fairy pond in front of them, and Wei Changtian and the other three opened their eyes at the same time.
“Crash!!!”
As the five people looked toward the lake, the surface suddenly began to surge violently, and the originally calm water turned into waves and rolled toward the shore.
A huge wave jumped into the sky, shattering the silver mountain into snow flakes.
The accident happened so suddenly that the expressions of everyone on the shore became extremely serious, and their eyes were fixed on the lake which was churning more and more violently.
In fact, if you shrink the fairy pond a little, this is a very common scene.
After all, this is what people look like when they get out of the bathtub after taking a shower.
But compared to the beauty emerging from the bath, the thing that was about to emerge from the fairy pond was obviously much larger. "Boom!!!"
The sound of the waves turned into a loud noise echoing among the mountain peaks. The water in the center of the fairy pond also bulged up significantly, gradually revealing the shape of a giant at the bottom of the pond.
Sharp claws, white feathers, red scales. "Canglang!"
“Clang clang!”
Wei Changtian, Zhang San, Lu Huang, and Huang Sheng, the four of them drew their swords almost at the same time, their faces gloomy, but they did not take a single step back.
“Bang!! Bang, bang, bang!”
Wave after wave of lake water several feet high hit the shield wall formed by true energy and turned into rain that poured down from the sky.
“Clang!!!”
A few breaths later, with a hissing sound like the sound of swords clashing suddenly exploding in the night sky, the huge monster coiled at the bottom of the lake suddenly broke free from the surface of the lake and finally appeared in front of the five people.
Looking at the thing in front of him, Wei Changtian's pupils suddenly contracted and his breathing stopped for a beat.
The reactions of the others were even more extreme.
Ever since the strange phenomenon appeared, the five people began to speculate what kind of monster living at the bottom of the lake it was.
With a body size like this, the most likely creature is a fish monster with great power, or something like a water snake or turtle.
But the monster that appeared before his eyes at this moment was the one that was least likely to hide in the water.
It has feathers and wings, a sharp beak and claws.
This is clearly a flying bird! And let’s not talk about why such a giant bird would live in the freezing cold fairy pond, just the appearance of this bird is “WTF.”
Wei Changtian moved his lips in disbelief.
"What the hell is this. Phoenix???"
