Chapter 487: The Lake with a Sharp Drop in Water Level



This little girl...

Xu Xin shook his head.

He didn't follow.

When they were assigning rooms to them, they had a few extra rooms, so there was no shortage of rooms for her, so she could just go down and choose one.

Walking to the window, he opened it and a gust of hot air hit him in the face.

It was already very hot outside, but it was much better than in the afternoon.

At this rate of cooling, the temperature may even drop below 40 degrees Celsius by dark.

The temperature dropped so quickly!

Maybe it’s because…

He looked at the sun which was already approaching the horizon.

The sunlight is no longer so glaring.

Half of the sky was dyed red, presenting a very beautiful sunset picture.

It seems that compared to the annoying snowy nights in the cold winter, the hot summer nights at this stage are actually the most comfortable time of the day.

The most difficult time to get through is probably from noon to afternoon.

The temperature in the jungle at that time was around 60 degrees, it was like a natural steam room!

That’s right, it’s a steam room, not a sauna, because during this hot summer period, it is not the humid heat accompanied by rain, but dry heat!

The air is extremely dry now. After only opening the window for a short while, Xu Xin already feels his throat and nasal cavity starting to dry out!

He wanted to look at the lake next to the tree house.

The lake has shrunk considerably and the shallow areas have completely disappeared.

Even in the deep water area in the middle, from his current perspective, the water surface could no longer be seen, leaving only a huge dark abyss.

He could see the dry, cracked stone walls of the abyss.

Those were the stone walls that were originally submerged in water more than ten meters deep, but now they are completely exposed.

This scorching summer has caused the water temperature of the lake to evaporate significantly!

Um……?

Xu Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.

etc.

The lake level dropped?

How far has it gone down?

Are those copper ores exposed?

If it was exposed, he could mine copper even without entering the lake!

By the way, is there still a crisis in the lake now?

If there is no danger for the time being, maybe we can go down and explore!

Although the temperature outside can reach up to 50 or 60 degrees, it will definitely not be that high below the water surface!

There must be something good down here!

After testing the temperature outside, he felt that it was warm enough to exercise outside, so he grabbed Coco, who was napping on the sofa, and swung down from the tree house.

"Oh, oh, oh?" Before Coco woke up, a wave of heat hit her face, making her scratch with her little paws.

"Okay, Coco, help me see if this lake is safe."

Xu Xin walked to the original location by the lake and continued walking inside.

The shallow waters have completely dried up.

The originally soft mud at the bottom of the lake had now become hard and completely cracked due to the scorching sun.

He continued walking forward, and after a few steps, he reached the edge of the abyss.

...?

Xu Xin frowned slightly.

Has the size of this huge abyss pit expanded again?

He seemed to have felt that the size of the abyss pit had expanded before, but later because he had too many things to do, he no longer thought about it.

Now it seems...

This huge abyss has expanded a lot...

He looked down into the huge pit.

At a glance, he saw copper ore exposed on the rock wall.

A whole circle of copper ore!

At this time, the water level was just less than two meters below the copper ore belt.

Copper ore, exposed!

The location of the copper ore was probably about 40 meters deep in water before, right?

The water level of this lake dropped by forty meters due to the scorching heat and scorching sun!

This is simply exaggerated!

The lake, which is normally more than ten meters deep, is likely to dry up!

"Hmm...?" Coco poked her little head out from his shoulder and looked down.

"How is it, Coco, is there any danger?" Xu Xin asked, pointing down.

"Hmm." Coco shook its little head, indicating that it didn't feel any danger.

...Let’s go down and take a look.

Xu Xin took out the hook that he had used to climb the snow-capped mountains, grabbed the edge of the cliff of the abyss, and then slowly lowered himself down.

The hook was only about twenty meters long. He lowered it halfway, grabbed a protruding stone on the rock wall, retracted the hook, and then grabbed the rock wall twenty meters deep, continuing to lower himself down.

This time, when the hook was extended to its longest position, he also descended to the copper ore circle.

A whole circle of copper ore was exposed!

many!

There are really a lot!

"Hmm..." Coco grabbed his shoulders tightly, looking at the bottomless and pitch-black abyss below.

"Is it dangerous?" Xu Xin asked, grabbing its big tail.

"Hmm." Coco shook her head again.

"No danger?"

“Bing!”

The little guy jumped directly from Xu Xin's shoulders into the water and splashed around twice in the water.

Although the temperature is much lower than before, it is still around 40 degrees. The little guy felt too hot and jumped into the water to cool down.

Since it dared to jump down, it means there should be no danger.

Only then did Xu Xin retract the hook with peace of mind.

He was still thinking that if there was any danger, he would just pull himself up quickly, but that shouldn't be necessary now.

Looking at Coco splashing in the water, he smiled and jumped into the water.
