In the distance, the young man looked at Mr. Zhou and said, "Why do you want to leave? Xiao Chen invited us to go with him. What a great opportunity."
"What a great opportunity! Do you think he will believe you just because you said something like Tongtianjie?"
Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice.
"He already has doubts."
"No way? I think what I said is flawless."
The young man frowned.
"Besides, even if he suspects it, it's nothing. We didn't do anything."
"Stay away from him as much as possible, especially in this deserted area."
Mr. Zhou thought of something and his face darkened.
"Also, who asked you to help just now?"
"Didn't you promise?"
The young man said.
"I...I was thinking about something else. Do you know where that water monster came from? It came from Tianjue Abyss!"
When Mr. Zhou said this, he felt a bit apprehensive and fearful.
"What? Tian Jue Yuan?"
Hearing what Mr. Zhou said, the young man widened his eyes.
Even the two old slaves behind him had their eyelids twitching. They looked at each other but said nothing.
"right."
Mr. Zhou nodded.
"It looks very much like the legendary 'Giant Monster'."
"Troll? It..."
The young man's eyes widened even more.
"That's not right. How could the giant monster from Tianjueyuan appear here?"
"I don't know either. I can only make a guess."
Mr. Zhou shook his head.
"It may be related to the previous earthquake. The giant monster came here from Tianjueyuan..."
"You mean... the bottom of this lake leads to the Tianjue Abyss?"
The young man was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up.
"Well, maybe it wasn't connected originally, but it became connected because of the earthquake."
Mr. Zhou nodded.
"Otherwise, there is only one last guess left, that there is another giant monster in this lake...but I think this possibility is very small."
"Mr. Zhou, we came to the No Man's Land just to go to the Tianjue Abyss, right?"
The young man ignored the second half of the sentence. How could there be a ferocious beast like the 'troll' in such a small lake?
"Since this lake may be connected to the Tianjue Abyss, why should we go there? Shouldn't we explore the way?"
"How do we explore the way? If we are really at the bottom of the lake, can you and I stay there for a long time?"
Old Zhou looked at the young man and frowned slightly.
"Even with our strength, we can't hold our breath for several hours..."
"That's true."
The young man thought about it and nodded.
Holding your breath and diving to the bottom of a lake might be okay for a short period of time, but it would definitely not be possible to do it for several hours.
"Even if the two places are connected, the distance is probably quite long. It is impossible for you and I to get there... But no matter what, at least there are more roads. If you really can't find the way to Tianjueyuan, you can give it a try."
Mr. Zhou said again.
"In that case, why should we leave?"
The young man was surprised and looked back at the lake.
"No matter what, we have to go down and take a look."
"This is one of the reasons why I have to leave. How can you go down and take a look if you are traveling with Xiao Chen?"
Mr. Zhou said calmly.
"Let's just stroll around first, then come back and go down to the lake to take a look... by then, they will definitely be gone."
"So that's how it is... You are really thoughtful, Mr. Zhou."
The young man flattered him.
"hehe."
Mr. Zhou smiled slightly.
"Also, let me remind you again, since you've already met Xiao Chen, there's no need to take it any further... Think about it, if you just met him and you're still thinking about getting together, he won't be suspicious. As the saying goes, 'If someone shows kindness without any reason, he's either a traitor or a thief', right?"
"What you said..."
The young man's face trembled. If someone else said this to him, he would have slapped them.
"Let everything take its course, otherwise he will definitely be more suspicious... By the way, aren't you quite dissatisfied with Xiao Chen? Now, why do you want to make friends with him again?"
Mr. Zhou asked curiously.
"It's not about being friends. After all, Xiao Chen is the best in the martial arts world. He can be very useful to us if we want to do anything."
The young man hesitated slightly when he said this.
"And you're right. I don't stand a chance of winning against him... I noticed just now that I'm no match for him."
"Yeah, I've noticed that. You and I... oh, plus these two old servants, we don't stand a chance of winning against them."
Mr. Zhou said slowly.
"This Xiao Chen is quite a character. Not only is he powerful, he also has a group of strong followers around him..."
"You said you don't want to be close to him anymore, what should I do?"
The young man thought for a moment and asked.
"It's not that I don't want to be close to him, but I don't try to be close to him deliberately. If I try too hard, it will seem fake. Let it be natural."
Mr. Zhou shook his head.
"He must be an extremely smart person to have come this far. In addition, he is already somewhat suspicious. Your talk about the Tongtian Realm cannot fool him at all... Therefore, we leave first, so that he will think that we have no ulterior motives. If we meet again, he will naturally be less suspicious."
"Understood."
The young man nodded.
"But I have to tell you one thing. If we can't use this man, he will be a big problem... If we can't use him, we should kill him."
Mr. Zhou's voice suddenly turned cold.
"You are right, but... who can kill him?"
The young man looked at Mr. Zhou and smiled bitterly.
"You and I definitely can't do it... The rules of this world restrict the strong from coming out. Even if they can come out, they can't suppress too much even if they have some means to suppress their cultivation."
"Too."
Mr. Zhou nodded and sighed.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time and keep a low profile... If we don't do something, someone else will do it."
"Um."
The young man nodded, turned his head to look towards the lake, and suppressed many thoughts.
"Let's go for a walk first and come back later..."
Mr. Zhou quickened his pace.
"good."
The young man nodded and followed with two old slaves.
…
By the lake, Xiao Lin and others were looking into the lake.
Xiao Chen went into the water more than ten minutes ago, and there has been no movement until now.
"Uncle Qi, don't worry. No movement is better than any movement."
Bai Ye comforted.
"If the water monster shows up, it will definitely fight with Brother Chen. Now there is no movement, which means the water monster has escaped, so Brother Chen will not be in danger."
"Um."
Xiao Lin nodded. He knew this, but he still couldn't help but feel worried.
Deep in the lake, Xiao Chen's figure was like a fish, moving deeper and deeper.
Just now, the water monster went to the center of the lake.
They chased after it all the way, and finally had a fight. The illusion was shattered, and they realized it was a fake.
"Damn, this method is really weird... It can drag people into an illusion without them knowing it. I don't know where this water monster came from."
Xiao Chen held his breath and cursed in his heart.
Suddenly, his eyes focused, he exerted force with his feet, and swam forward quickly.
All I saw was darkness in front of me, as if there was a big crack.
"this……"
When he got closer, Xiao Chen's eyes widened in shock.
From a distance, it looks like a big pit.
When you get closer...well, this is still a big pit.
However, it is a very big pit with no bottom.
"Is this where the water monster escaped? No, that's not right. The water monster is huge. Even though this pit is big, it can't hold its body."
Xiao Chen frowned, stepped forward and touched it lightly.
"All the traces are new, they haven't been there for a long time... Uncle Qi is right, the earthquake cracked the bottom of the lake, and this big pit appeared."
After a slight hesitation, he took out a searchlight and entered the pit.
After entering, he found that the pit was deep and cold, and the water was flowing very fast.
"These are living waters...it is indeed here."
Xiao Chen perked up, steadied himself, and looked underground with a searchlight.
Soon, he discovered that the big crack and the uneven surface were smoothed out by something.
"This... I understand. Although this pit cannot accommodate the huge body of the water monster, its body is flat. If it retracts its tentacles and moves in diagonally, it should be able to fit in."
Xiao Chen continued to sink, becoming colder and colder, and the pressure was getting greater and greater.
However, this little bit of coldness and pressure would not cause him much trouble.
Only the endless darkness made him feel a little nervous.
What if this water monster is hiding underneath and sees him coming and catches him off guard? That would be big trouble.
After all, underwater is the water monster's home turf. He can hold his breath, but once he fights, the time he can hold his breath will be infinitely shortened.
If he was really entangled by the water monster and couldn't get out, he would die in there after a long time.
And then...what he feared the most was the illusion of the water monster.
Three times!
It is impossible to guard against such means that one can be dragged into an illusion silently.
He was even a little worried. Was the big pit in front of him real or an illusion?
If it was an illusion, he would be in danger now.
Xiao Chen tightly grasped the Xuanyuan Sword, thought about it, and decided not to release the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root.
He planned to test it out first, and if there was a real crisis, he would seek help from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
It's not good to rely too much on this little guy.
The main thing is... he wants to save face!
"Brother Long, if there is any danger, remember to remind me. If I die here, you will also be buried in this endless darkness, and you may never see the light of day."
Xiao Chen patted the Xuanyuan Sword and attached his mind to it.
Although he is now at the bottom of the lake and cannot speak, his thoughts are not restricted.
He believed that the spirit of the evil dragon could definitely sense his thoughts.
The golden dragon pattern on the Xuanyuan Sword flashed a few times.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen felt relieved. Under the water, it was also the dragon's territory... Having this evil dragon around would be a good helper.
He kept diving, and it became colder and darker.
Even with a searchlight, visibility is only about three to five meters.
Even his outward spiritual consciousness was affected and was constantly compressed.
"Where does it lead to? If we go any further down, it will be a bit too much to bear."
Another ten minutes passed and Xiao Chen began to think about retreating. Although he did not sense any danger, he knew that he had almost reached his limit.
He thought about it, took out an oxygen tank from the bone ring and put it on his back, then took out a diving goggles and put it on.
"Look down again. If you still haven't found it in five minutes, go back..."
After taking a few breaths, Xiao Chen dived deeper at a faster speed.
His figure was soon swallowed up by the endless darkness...even the light from the searchlight could not be emitted at all.
