"Thank you, Alliance Leader Xiao, for reminding us. You saved our lives."
The leader bowed again and expressed gratitude.
"Haha, this is serious. Go ahead. I hope you can all gain something, and then... leave the no-man's land alive."
Xiao Chen looked at them and smiled.
Leaving the no-man's land alive may not sound good, but... it is definitely the greatest blessing.
"Um."
Several people nodded heavily, waved goodbye, and continued on their way.
Xiao Chen retracted his gaze: "According to what they said, apart from the suspected arrival of a powerful person from the outer world, there is nothing major happening in the ancient martial arts world for the time being..."
"Well, let's put our minds to the present for now."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"It has been blown up, but the water monster has not appeared yet. It should be gone..."
Xiao Chen said as he took out his diving equipment.
"I'm going to go to the bottom of the lake and take a look."
"Brother Chen, could it be that the water monster is sleeping?"
Bai Ye asked.
"Sleeping? Being unconscious is more like being asleep... How deep must one be sleeping to not be awakened by the explosion?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"You stay here, I'll go down and take a look..."
"Brother Chen, I'll go with you."
Bai Ye said hurriedly.
"Yes, we will accompany you."
"No, you all stay here."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"The situation at the bottom of the lake is a bit complicated. I told you before that there are many cracks underneath... and the water monster came from an unknown place through the big cracks."
"You suspect...Tian Jueyuan?"
Xiao Lin asked with a flash of his eyes.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Except for the Tianjue Abyss, there is no other place with such a terrifying monster... So, I plan to go down and explore the big crack. It may take a long time. If I don't come up for a long time, you don't have to worry about me."
"Brother Chen, if it really leads to Tianjueyuan, you won't go directly to Tianjueyuan, right?"
Xiaodao asked.
"Haha, it's not impossible... I will notify you when the time comes, but if there is no signal, I won't be able to notify you."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I will try my best to come back, but if the situation changes, there is a high possibility that I will go directly to Tianjueyuan... Three days, if I don't come back in three days, you don't have to wait, just leave the no-man's land."
"Three days... OK."
Xiao Lin thought about it and nodded.
"Then you have to be more careful. Don't try to show off in particularly dangerous places..."
"Haha, don't worry. I've fought so hard and I'm still alive... Do you really think it's just luck? I know what's going on."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"That's not right, second brother. If you just go to Tianjueyuan like this, what about the Nine-Tailed Fox?"
Nie Jingfeng thought of something.
"She didn't come again."
"Brother, this place doesn't necessarily lead to the Tianjue Abyss. This is just a guess..."
Xiao Chen said.
"I'll go down and look for it. If it's definitely the path to the Abyss of Heaven, I'll definitely come back... Then, when the time comes, I'll wait for the Nine-Tailed Fox to come over, and then we'll go together."
"Oh, okay."
Nie Jingfeng nodded.
"If she doesn't accompany you, then my brother will go with you."
"Okay, big brother."
Xiao Chen smiled and began to take things out of the bone ring.
"Leave these opportunities here for now. If I really go to Tian Jue Yuan, you can take them out..."
"Brother Chen, why don't you come back and talk about it first."
"That's right. We don't have storage space, so we can't bring too many things."
“…”
"Take less. Don't worry, I'll be fine... Don't make it sound like I'm making arrangements for my final resting place."
Xiao Chen was annoyed.
"All right."
Bai Ye and the others didn't say anything more.
Xiao Chen took out a lot of opportunities, and then put the spiritual roots of heaven and earth into the bone ring.
"Leave these here, keep them for yourself... they are all small things, if they are big, I will take them out later."
Xiao Chen said.
"good."
Everyone nodded.
After taking out all the things, Xiao Chen began to put on his diving equipment.
Speaking of equipment, he would not make it too professional. That way, it would be more convenient for diving but not for fighting.
Under the water, water monsters may appear at any time, so he must always be in a fighting state.
At most, you would wear diving goggles and carry an oxygen tank or something.
"I'm going to go down. You guys can set up camp here. But be careful and don't be too careless."
Xiao Chen reminded.
"The water monster may come out at any time, understand? If you can't defeat it, don't fight and try to escape."
"Just go ahead, don't worry about us."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Now our camp is capable of protecting ourselves."
"OK."
Xiao Chen put on his diving suit, put on his goggles, and walked into the lake.
"Brother Chen, you have to come back soon. We are waiting for you... Don't let us wait until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble. Don't let us become a husband-waiting stone."
Bai Ye shouted.
“…”
Xiao Chen staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He turned around and glared at Bai Ye: "Get lost!"
"Hey, it's just a joke. After all, I still feel a little reluctant."
Bai Ye grinned.
"I'm leaving."
Xiao Chen waved his hand, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, and jumped down.
Crash.
He fell into the water and swam towards the center of the lake.
Xiao Lin and others stood on the shore, looking at Xiao Chen's back, and were a little worried.
It’s just that they didn’t show it in front of Xiao Chen just now.
That water monster is too strong. If Xiao Chen meets it alone at the bottom of the lake, can he succeed?
If it really leads to Tianjueyuan, can he go there alone?
"Alas, I feel conflicted. I hope this place leads to the Tianjue Abyss so that Brother Chen can find the Water Essence as soon as possible. But I also don't want this place to lead to the Tianjue Abyss so that Brother Chen won't be in danger."
Bai Ye sighed and said.
"We should think like this. Tian Jueyuan will definitely go there... With his strength and luck, he will be fine."
Xiao Lin said slowly.
"We...just wait for him here."
"good."
Everyone nodded.
"I'm going down."
Xiao Chen swam to the center of the lake, turned around, waved to Xiao Lin and others on the shore, and shouted.
Then he dived down and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Brother Chen is gone..."
Li Hanhou muttered.
"Hey, Dahan, what do you mean by gone... Brother Chen went underwater."
Bai Ye turned around and said unhappily.
"Oh, I mean I can't see it."
Li said honestly.
"Let's wait here."
Xiao Lin looked at the palm-sized electronic device in his hand, which was left by Xiao Chen.
Not only can it locate and communicate, but it can also connect to the camera on Xiao Chen's body so that the situation over there can be viewed in real time.
"Uncle Qi, hurry up, open it, let's see what's going on over there, Brother Chen."
Bai Ye said.
"good."
Xiao Lin nodded, and after connecting to the tablet, everyone sat down and started watching.
There is a hint of light at the bottom of the dark lake.
This light came from the searchlight in Xiao Chen's hand.
They couldn't see Xiao Chen because the camera was above Xiao Chen's head, but it could accompany Xiao Chen and see everything at the bottom of the lake.
Xiao Chen seemed to have noticed something and waved in front of the camera.
"Brother Chen knows we are watching him."
Xiaodao laughed.
"Focus, we're with you."
Xiao Lin opened the communication and said.
Xiao Chen made an 'OK' gesture, holding the searchlight in his left hand and the Xuanyuan Sword in his right hand, and continued to dive deeper.
It was getting darker and darker, and even the beam of light from a searchlight could not penetrate very far.
The quiet bottom of the lake made Xiao Chen slowly feel a little pressure.
However, he didn't care, as he had been here before.
"Where was the big crack last time?"
Xiao Chen shone the searchlight, looked around, and finally determined the direction.
"It should be there, let's go and take a look first."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and quickened his pace.
He really wanted to release the spiritual root of heaven and earth to accompany him, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
“It’s right here.”
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived in front of the big crack, and what he saw was a crack that was even bigger than the last time.
At the edge of the crack, there were traces of collision, obviously left by a water monster.
“Is this where the water monster came from?”
Bai Ye looked at the big crack on the screen and was cheered up.
"It should be... This is not a crack, it's simply a canyon at the bottom of the lake."
"I also think that this water monster might really come from Tianjueyuan."
"If it comes from the Tianjue Abyss, then the bottom of the lake must lead to the Tianjue Abyss..."
“…”
While everyone was discussing, dozens of miles away, the Tianwaitian group of four, no, a group of three, were also coming over here.
Behind them, there were more than ten strong men, and judging from their aura, they were all innate.
These are all their 'slaves', controlled and driven by them.
Before, they were all plundering and killing ancient warriors. Later, after one of their old slaves died, Li Jingheng suggested that they needed to recruit stronger warriors.
Then, when they encounter a congenitally strong person, they will no longer kill him, but use poison and other means to control him and use him for their own purposes!
As more and more powerful people appear, the strength of their camp will naturally become stronger.
If one or two innate strong men see them, they will not be able to escape at all.
"That's right, it's this direction."
Mr. Zhou pointed to a mountain and said.
"I noticed it at the time. It's here."
“I’m finally back.”
Li Jingheng was also very happy and smiled.
They had been looking for this place for a very long time... Although it did not delay their chance to plunder, they still wanted to find the big lake and see if there was a path leading to the Tianjue Abyss under the lake.
Originally, they were about to give up and prepare to leave the no-man's land.
Fortunately, a congenitally powerful person provided a clue.
Now...they are back.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of Xiao Chen and the others now?"
Li Jingheng thought of something and asked.
"They are very high-profile. Now many people in the no-man's land know that they are here."
Mr. Zhou said slowly.
"For the time being, Xiao Chen must be fine..."
"If he had any problem, he wouldn't deserve my admiration for him."
Li Jingheng smiled and opened the folding fan in his hand.
"I hope to find the way to Tianjueyuan, then leave the no-man's land, and meet him again in the ancient martial arts world."
"Don't forget what I said. If you can't be my friend and can't be of any use to us, we should kill you if we can."
Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice.
"clear."
Li Jingheng nodded.
