Endless darkness, cold and silent.
Xiao Chen stood on a big rock, looked at the dark lake in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then gave up.
We can't go on any further.
Even if he brought oxygen tanks and other things with him and went in, if something really happened, he would not be able to escape.
However, he was still somewhat unwilling.
Maybe the lair of the water monster is ahead. If we can really get there, there will definitely be a great opportunity.
"People die for money... but if a person is really dead, what's the use of money?"
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth.
“No matter how great the opportunity is, you still need life to succeed… Forget it, let’s go back first and find out the origin of this water monster before making any plans.”
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated and turned back.
What he didn't notice was that in the endless darkness about a hundred meters ahead, two dark green lights lit up...
No, these are not lights, they are clearly the two eyes of a water monster.
Its huge body was hidden in a big pit, and its countless tentacles were clinging to the huge cracks.
It was completely motionless, without even a breath of life, like a dead object.
Even if Xiao Chen continued to move forward, it would probably be difficult to find it... and it was an excellent hunter, quietly lying in ambush and killing with one strike!
A black tentacle swayed slightly, then slowly lowered itself.
The two dim green lights went out.
Xiao Chen, who was swimming out, had no idea that he had just walked around the gates of hell.
"I wasted so much time and didn't get anything..."
Xiao Chen felt a little unhappy. Suddenly he realized something and looked back. It was pitch black and he couldn't see too far.
"Why did I feel like something was staring at me just now... Damn, this damn place, I better leave quickly."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath of oxygen and sped up.
Crash!
For a long time...
Xiao Chen emerged from the lake and took off his oxygen mask.
"Brother Chen!"
Bai Ye and others on the shore had been waiting with great worry.
When they saw Xiao Chen coming out, they all shouted.
Xiao Lin's tense body also relaxed at this moment.
If Xiao Chen didn't come out in a few minutes, he would have to go down and look for him.
"I'm fine."
Xiao Chen flew ashore and used the "Chaos Technique" to quickly dry his wet clothes.
"Brother Chen, have you found anything?"
Bai Ye asked hurriedly.
Not only was he curious, but others also looked over.
"As Uncle Qi said, the bottom of the lake leads to another place... The previous earthquake caused a large crack in the bottom of the lake, and the water monster came out from that crack."
Xiao Chen said.
"This gap not only leads to somewhere else, but also extends downwards... The further down you go, the greater the water pressure becomes."
"He really came from somewhere else..."
Xiao Lin's eyes flashed, and he looked at the lake, then looked elsewhere.
"After this earthquake, maybe the no-man's land will be different from the past."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen's heart moved, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"What about the water monster? Didn't you see it?"
Bai Ye asked again.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"There was nothing in the lake, not to mention small fish and shrimps, there wasn't even any water plants... I swam for a long time, even taking out my oxygen tank, but in the end I had to give up and come back."
"The water monster ran away? Will it return to its previous territory?"
Xiaodao was curious.
"It's hard to say, but no matter where it leads to, getting in from here... is difficult."
Xiao Chen took out some water, distributed it to everyone, and drank some himself.
"Let's take a break and leave here first and go to other places..."
"good."
Everyone nodded.
Xiao Chen drank some water, thought about it, took out a few small cameras from the bone ring, and installed them in a hidden place by the lake.
Although he didn't know whether the signal would be received, he put it here so that if anything happened, he would be able to see it when he came back.
The water monster ran away, and it was almost impossible for them to kill it.
What he was thinking about was opportunity.
There is no way there is no chance to encounter such a powerful water monster.
Danger and opportunity are often proportional.
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen and his group left the lake.
After they left, the people who had been watching from afar approached the lake.
"The water monster hasn't appeared yet. Should we go down and take a look?"
"You're looking for death? They're so strong, but they can't beat the water monster. How can we do it?"
"So what are we doing here?"
"Just take a look, maybe you can gain something..."
A few people were wandering around the lake, and then... they were surprised to find that the lake was shrinking.
They subconsciously followed the shrinking lake and walked inside.
Soon, they were in the cold water of the lake.
However, they were unaware of this and walked deeper and deeper, and soon they were in waist-deep water.
"Why... are there so many bones?"
Someone said in horror.
"Was it eaten by the water monster before?"
"It should be."
"Then let's get away quickly. If the water monster rushes out of the lake, we won't be able to stop it."
"Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a great opportunity."
"It seems like someone else is here."
“…”
As they were talking, another seven or eight people came to the lake.
The two groups looked at each other with some caution.
Those who dare to come to the uninhabited area are not only extremely brave, but also have some courage.
It can be said that for the sake of opportunity, life and death are put aside.
"Be careful. If there is a chance, kill them first."
"good."
The leaders of the two groups whispered their opinions.
Before the opportunity comes, the killing intent arises.
Just as they were searching in the lake, a black tentacle as thick as an arm appeared silently and wrapped around one of their legs.
whoosh.
Before the man could react, he was dragged into the lake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"not good!"
Although the noise was not loud, the two groups still noticed it and were all shocked.
Swish, swish, swish.
Black tentacles, as fast as lightning, wrapped around their legs or waists.
Even a strong man who had reached the great perfection of Hua Jin was completely powerless to resist and was dragged into the lake.
In just two or three breaths, there was no one standing in the lake anymore and the lake surface returned to calm.
…
"As expected, the camera by the lake can't receive the signal when it's far away... There's signal interference here."
Xiao Chen shook his head, put away his electronic equipment, and took out the animal skin map.
"Don't think about the water monster. Since it has escaped, it probably won't come back in the short term."
Xiao Lin said.
"We don't have much chance of winning against this water monster, so it's better to avoid it if we can."
"Um."
Xiao Chen responded with one sentence, but he was still thinking about the water monster and the crack at the bottom of the lake that led to nowhere.
It's not entirely due to chance, but curiosity.
What kind of place would have such a terrifying water monster?
That place...maybe there's some incredible opportunity there.
Well, I still have to think about the great opportunity.
"Where do we go next?"
Xiao Lin also looked at the animal skin map and asked.
"Just take a look around. This map is not complete. The old man just recorded the places he has been to on this map. Many places are not on it."
Xiao Chen paused when he said this.
"Besides, I suddenly thought of something... That old guy is very powerful. Will there still be opportunities in the places he has been to?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was startled and nodded: "That's right..."
"So, if we want great opportunities, we have to try to go to places that are rarely visited... Of course, we have to go to the places on the map. Who knows when the old man went there? Some opportunities also depend on fate. Those who are destined to get them will get them."
Xiao Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.
"Blair, please work harder. If you notice anything unusual in the space, be sure to tell me in time."
"good."
Blair responded.
"Brother Chen, I'm a little hungry."
Suddenly, Li Hanhou said.
"Well... let's eat first, and then continue after dinner."
Xiao Chen stopped. The battle had consumed too much energy.
"By the way, brother Cosmos, how are your injuries?"
"Nothing serious."
The Space Brothers replied.
"Here, you have to heal your minor injuries here. They may be fatal at a critical moment."
Xiao Chen took out the healing medicine, threw it to them, and then looked at Lei Gong again.
"Old Leitou, why are you so sad?"
"Alas, the Thunder Seal that I have used for many years is gone just like that."
Lei Gong sighed.
“I can’t bear to do that.”
"What material is your lightning seal made of? Just make another one."
Xiao Chen asked.
"That's easy to say, but that's North Sea Black Iron, which is extremely rare..."
Leigong rolled his eyes.
Bang.
Before he could finish, a black iron block the size of a human head appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground.
"So it's the Northern Dark Iron. I thought it was something good... Here, is this enough? If not, I have a bigger one here."
Xiao Chen pointed at the black iron block on the ground and said.
“…”
Lei Gong looked at the black iron block on the ground and his eyes suddenly widened.
He hurried forward, looked at it carefully, and touched it.
That’s right, it’s the Beiming Black Iron!
"You...what did you just say?"
Lei Gong raised his head, looked at Xiao Chen, and asked with some stammering.
"I asked you if it's enough. If not, I have a bigger one...one that weighs several hundred kilograms. If you can use it, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"You...how come you have so much Bei Ming Xuan iron?"
Lei Gong was very shocked. In the past, he had gone to the North Sea in person to look for that small piece of North Sea Black Iron and almost lost his life.
In his eyes, how many hundreds of kilograms of extremely precious Beiming Black Iron does Xiao Chen have?
"Oh, the old fortune teller got it from the Sun Moon Sect."
Xiao Chen said.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about this little thing. It's just sitting in the corner."
“…”
Lei Gong was speechless, what a piece of broken stuff?
"Is this enough?"
Xiao Chen asked.
“Enough, enough…”
After Lei Gong finished speaking, he picked up the Bei Ming Xuan Iron which was as big as a human head and grinned.
"Although it's not a seal yet, it's okay. When we leave here, we'll forge it into the shape of a big seal... This piece of Beiming Black Iron is even purer than the one I have."
As he finished speaking, lightning flashed on the Beiming Black Iron.
The thunder seal from the past...well, it's lost if it's lost.
If the old does not go, the new will not come.
Once this piece of Beiming black iron is forged into a thunder seal, its power will definitely be even greater!
