Chapter 254 Entering the Lake
All three of them were silent.
What gave them the illusion that if they split the water, the big fish would not be able to attack them?
It's not like there's glass blocking the view in an aquarium!
There was a loud splashing sound beside their ears, and the big fish's mouth was the first to break through the water, sucking the three people in like a bottomless black hole.
"Run!" Xu Chuchu shouted and took the lead in running forward.
The scene before them swept by like the wind, and they did not care what was happening ahead, they just rushed forward. After all, the worst that could happen was not worse than being eaten by fish.
"I'm saying, can you run faster?" Chen Zhaozhi was tall and had long legs. He originally ran faster than Xu Chuchu, but because he was behind Xu Chuchu, he had to slow down and ran very uncomfortably.
"Get out! Who told you not to stand at the front?" Xu Chuchu turned around and cursed.
At this moment, the big fish jumped out of the water. Everyone bent down to avoid it, but its speed was too fast. Xiao Yu, who was closest to it, was directly slapped into the lake by the fish's fin!
"Xiao Yu!" Xu Chuchu subconsciously reached out to grab him, and in a flash, he pushed away Chen Zhaozhi who was blocking the way, tightly grasped Xiao Yu's wrist, and pulled him out of the rushing lake water.
In just the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu was soaked all over. He quickly stood firm and saw the person who saved him. There was surprise and hope in his eyes.
The bright Xu Chuchu almost didn't dare to look directly at him.
She quickly let go of Xiao Yu, telling herself that saving her companion was what she should do, and now was not the time to look at each other affectionately!
The big fish pounced again, and Xiao Yu pulled out his folding fan with his backhand, and stabbed the blade of the fan into the fish's head.
With a dull "bang" sound, the sharp blade broke directly.
This fish is huge and ancient, and its scales and skull are as hard as steel. It cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons.
But this action obviously stimulated the big fish. Its expression was still dull, but its movements were obviously faster.
Compared to the current speed, it was like playing hide-and-seek with them just now.
"Quick, use fire!" Xu Chuchu pulled Chen Zhaozhi to the front, "Fox Fire can restrain Water!"
Chen Zhaozhi shook his head like a rattle: "No, I can't. All my moves were taught by the Grand Master."
"Go away." Xu Chuchu pushed him away and took a deep breath.
She could, she should be able to do it.
There is a seventh-level old fox inner core in her body. Although it has not been fully absorbed, she has all the physical qualities that a fox demon should have.
Although the moves have not been used, the principles are the same.
Condensing spiritual energy, gathering it into a beam, and ejecting it——
Xu Chuchu spit out a beam of fox fire from his mouth, which went straight into the belly of the big fish.
If its head, back and tail are the hardest parts of the body, then the abdomen is the softest and most vulnerable!
Seeing this, Xiao Yu immediately stirred up the wind and intensified the fire.
Xu Chuchu didn't know when he learned this trick, but he had used it once when he broke into Fox Mountain before.
With the cooperation of the two, the fox fire became surging and huge, reflecting the lake water as if it was on fire, dazzling and scorching.
The big fish was injured in the abdomen by the fox fire. It flapped its fins and tail in pain and jumped into the lake to put out the fire.
The only aroma left in the air was the aroma of grilled fish.
But how could ordinary lake water extinguish the foxfire? The big fish, carrying the foxfire, rolled in the water and had no time to pay attention to them.
"This little fire can't hurt it. Let's go now!" Xu Chuchu rushed to the front and ran to the deep bottom of the lake with Xiao Yu and Shen Zhaozhi.
However, the road was too long. Before they could reach the bottom, or even see the bottom, the big fish that had extinguished the fox fire came rushing towards them again in anger.
It was no different from ordinary livestock and was obviously more intelligent. After being injured only once, it knew to hide its belly to avoid the fox fire, leaving only its hard fish head exposed to attack them.
There are only two possible outcomes if this continues: they will be eaten, or Hu Da'er will not be able to hold on and they will be drowned in the lake...
Wait, drown?
Xu Chuchu recalled the last time the lake water backflowed, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
She stepped behind Chen Zhaozhi and took out the golden bell that Hu Da'er gave her from her arms.
"No!" Chen Zhaozhi shouted, "Being eaten will only hurt for a moment, but drowning will cause long-term pain!"
"Shut up." Xu Chuchu rang the bell without saying a word.
Soon, the faint sound of the flute on the water stopped.
There was silence at first, and then the sound of water gradually became more and more violent.
They saw a fierce stream of water rushing along the path they had just walked like a water gun!
"Get ready!" Xu Chuchu adjusted his posture and dived into the rushing lake water.
Xiao Yu realized Xu Chuchu's intention from the beginning and followed him with precautions.
Chen Zhaozhi was swept into the water and turned three and a half times.
The water was flowing very fast, and the three of them were light, so they were quickly swept away from the big fish. The big fish quickly caught up, but because of its large size, it was a beat slower, and after a few strokes, it was left far behind.
The three were washed to the center of the lake, where they vaguely saw a continuous underwater rock vein.
Xiao Yu quickly turned over, made a hand gesture, and kicked a flat stone surface.
I saw the stone surface collapsed, and it was hollow inside!
The three of them were washed in along with the water and hit the stone wall inside.
The big fish soon caught up, its huge body constantly hitting the stone wall outside, trying to squeeze in. Fortunately, the other parts of the stone were hard enough to block it outside.
After the shock, Xu Chuchu quickly discovered that the structure here was very unique. The waterway was designed in a U shape to block the lake water.
As long as you swim through the U-shaped part, you can reach the place on the shore where there is air.
"Huh..." Chen Zhaozhi struggled to climb ashore, "You are so brave! If we find the wrong place, we will confess."
"No." Xiao Yu reached out to pull Xu Chuchu, who had come out last, but saw that she had gotten up on her own. He awkwardly withdrew his hand. "There must be more than one passage like the one we just found that can block the lake water. Even if we found the wrong place just now, we can definitely find the exact location by looking around."
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhi had nothing to say.
Xu Chuchu stood up and looked around without even shaking off the water on his body.
"What is this place?" she muttered to herself. "An underwater tomb?"
"It's possible, but we haven't seen any signs of the ancient tomb yet, so we can't be sure." Xiao Yu continued, quietly using his pure Yang spiritual power and the blowing technique to blow warm air to Xu Chuchu, drying her clothes and hair.
Xu Chuchu felt the warm breeze, looked back at Xiao Yu, said nothing, and turned her head back.
"It can't be an ancient tomb. How could my mother live in an ancient tomb?" Chen Zhaozhi was very sure.
He also felt the warm air and came closer: "Your trick is quite good, blow it on me later."
While they were joking, Xu Chuchu walked away with his head down.
Xiao Yu glared at Chen Zhaozhi fiercely, while the other party smiled with a look that looked like he deserved a beating.
He knew very well that Chen Zhaozhi was not really stupid, but was pretending to be stupid, deliberately blocking the two of them to make things difficult for Xiao Yu and to avenge him for causing his exile.
