Silent and dark.
This was Xiao Chen’s most intuitive feeling at the bottom of the lake.
People with weaker mental qualities may not be able to bear this kind of feeling.
Many people like diving because there are all kinds of fish, beautiful corals, etc. on the seabed.
I like diving because of the beautiful scenery.
But it’s different at the bottom of the lake. It’s extremely dark and you can’t see anything.
Even with a searchlight, visibility is less than ten meters.
There are strange-shaped stones everywhere, with no aesthetic appeal at all.
It's okay if the time is short, but it will become boring if the time is long.
Not to mention Xiao Chen, Bai Ye and others on the shore were already getting bored watching.
"It's a good thing I didn't go with Brother Chen. It was really too hard to endure."
Bai Ye said.
"This is completely different from underwater diving."
"It looks like we won't be able to reach the bottom in a short period of time..."
Xiaodao took out a cigarette, passed it around and lit it.
"More than half an hour, right?"
"Um."
Chifeng looked at the time and nodded.
"It's only because the crack is so big, otherwise, sneaking inside would feel like a confined space, which would be even more uncomfortable."
“…”
Xiao Chen slowed down and kept repeating the diving movements, which was very boring.
He also wanted to smoke a cigarette, but that was definitely not possible at the bottom of the lake.
"I hope it leads to the Tianjue Abyss, otherwise... my trip here would have been in vain."
Xiao Chen found a big rock, sat on it and took a rest.
He put away the Xuanyuan Sword and released his spiritual awareness, without feeling any danger at all.
"Where did the water monster go? Is it really not in this lake anymore?"
Xiao Chen frowned. Judging from the surveillance footage, the last time the water monster appeared was three days ago.
Then, during these three days, several groups of people went there, but the water monster never appeared again.
"It returned to Tianjueyuan?"
After resting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Chen continued to dive.
He had forgotten how far he had swam. In the endless darkness, his sense of distance became very weak.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared before my eyes.
This cheered up Xiao Chen, and he quickly shone the searchlight over there.
"The end?"
Xiao Chen took out the Xuanyuan Sword, activated the "Chaos Art", and prepared for battle.
Although he felt that it was unlikely to reach Tianjue Abyss so soon, but... if there was no way to Tianjue Abyss, it might be the lair of the water monster.
Xiao Chen slowed down, tried not to make any noise, and swam forward slowly.
"Quick, there's something unusual down there..."
Xiao Lin, who had been staring at the screen, also discovered something and shouted excitedly.
Hearing Xiao Lin's shout, everyone gathered around again.
"What's that shiny?"
"It's not coming yet?"
“Will we encounter a water monster?”
“…”
Everyone's breathing slowed down, or even held their breath.
They all stared at the screen intently, their heartbeats quickening as if they were actually there with Xiao Chen.
"Goddess of Luck, please bless Brother Chen."
Bai Ye muttered to himself.
Xiao Chen, who was at the bottom of the lake, tightly grasped the Xuanyuan Sword and slowly approached.
"What's this?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. Is it an underground cave?
It was so high that the lake water did not completely fill it.
The light comes from above.
It’s very high. Looking up, it looks like a well.
"Is that the sky? Why do I feel like I'm a frog in a well?"
Xiao Chen had a strange look on his face as he looked at the "wellhead" above him, wondering what was outside?
At the same time, he speculated that the underground cracks at the bottom of the lake did not extend all the way downwards, but some parts were parallel.
There may be some uninhabited area above, connected to this underground crack.
But it looks very high, at least several hundred meters, causing the 'mouth' above to look like the size of a wellhead.
"Do you want to go up and take a look?"
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, but gave up the idea.
Ahead, the crack is still there, so you can continue moving forward.
Moreover, there are traces of water monsters.
This is not the water monster's lair, it's just a passing place.
Xiao Chen took off his diving goggles and oxygen mask and turned on the communication equipment.
"Uncle Qi, are you watching?"
"I'm watching."
A cacophony of responses came from the headphones.
"hehe."
Hearing these voices, Xiao Chen smiled and looked up.
"Do you see? I have become a frog in a well. I don't know where this leads to."
"Yeah, I see... What does the place you're in look like?"
Xiao Lin asked.
"It looks like an underground cave, at least 500 to 600 square meters."
Xiao Chen looked around and said.
"There are traces of the monster everywhere. It has stayed here..."
"That means you were looking in the right direction...but you never saw it?"
"No, I now suspect, it has gone back."
Xiao Chen wiped his wet hands, took out a cigarette from his bone ring, lit it, took a deep puff, and showed a look of satisfaction.
Finally... I can smoke one, beautiful.
Xiao Chen was smoking while chatting with Xiao Lin and the others.
"Uncle Qi, there's nothing unusual in the lake, right?"
"No, you are the same as you were when you left."
"Well, then you should stay by the lake. If there are no water monsters, the lakeside is relatively safe."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I'll take a break and then I'll be ready to continue."
"good……"
After chatting for a while, Xiao Chen turned off the communication and took out the spiritual root of heaven and earth from the bone ring.
"@%..."
As soon as the spiritual root of heaven and earth came out, it looked around at this unfamiliar environment, its little eyes full of curiosity.
"Xiao Gen, look, is there any treasure here?"
Xiao Chen touched the spiritual root of heaven and earth and said.
"#%..."
No one knew what the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth said. It jumped up and down on the big rock, and then... dived into the lake and swam happily in it.
“…”
Seeing this, Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I asked you to come out to hunt for treasure, or to swim?
However, he didn't say anything more. If there was a treasure here, the little guy would have gone there long ago.
Apparently, this is just an ordinary underground cave without any opportunities.
Come to think of it, if there really was a chance, he would have been swallowed by the water monster long ago and would not have been left alive.
"Xiao Gen, come up, I want to continue my journey."
After smoking two more cigarettes, Xiao Chen shouted.
The Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth jumped onto the big rock, shook off the water on its body, and jumped onto Xiao Chen's shoulder.
"Go back to the bone ring and stay there."
Xiao Chen put the spiritual root of heaven and earth into the bone ring, replaced the oxygen tank, put on the oxygen mask and diving goggles, and went into the water again.
Crash.
He swam forward and soon passed through the underground cave, and the light became dim again.
Xiao Chen turned on the searchlight and took a deep breath... like a brave man walking in the dark, moving forward alone.
"Practice hard."
Suddenly, Bai Ye on the shore said something and looked away.
"Ah? Xiaobai, why did you suddenly say that?"
Chi Feng asked curiously.
"Only by practicing hard can we stand shoulder to shoulder with Brother Chen, instead of him moving forward in the darkness at the bottom of the lake while we watch in the sunshine."
Bai Ye said slowly.
“This feeling is not good.”
After hearing Bai Ye's words, everyone fell silent and nodded.
"Yes, practice hard. Next time, even if Brother Chen goes through mountains of swords and seas of fire, we will accompany him."
Xiaodao nodded heavily, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.
"You guys practice, I'll watch him, if anything happens, I'll call you."
Xiao Lin said.
"Um."
Everyone nodded and began to practice.
Li Hanhou was a little hungry and wanted to eat something... but he didn't eat anymore. After practicing, he was no longer hungry.
Time...passes by every second.
Xiao Chen, who was in the huge underground crack, could hardly feel the passage of time.
He passed two more underground caves, which were not as big as the first one, but almost the same.
There was one of them with no light above it, so he shone a searchlight on it, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see clearly.
"Underground caves like these usually have bats and stuff... These don't even have bats, that's unusual."
Xiao Chen sat on a big rock, lit a cigarette, and chatted with Xiao Lin.
"Uncle Qi, where are Xiaobai and the others?"
“They are all practicing.”
"Hmm? So diligent?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Well, Xiaobai and the others said that next time you go to the mountain of swords or the sea of fire, they hope to accompany you instead of letting you go alone... So, they have to practice hard and become stronger."
Xiao Lin said slowly.
Listening to Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen was moved.
"Haha, Uncle Qi, talk to them. More haste makes waste. Don't be too anxious."
Xiao Chen smiled and changed the subject.
"The signal is getting weaker and weaker. If I go any further, the connection may be disconnected... Three days. If I don't come back after three days, you must leave."
"good."
Xiao Lin agreed.
"Keep an eye on Big Brother. Don't let him run around. Make sure you get him out of the no-man's land."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said another word.
"Just say what I said, I will reunite with Kyuubi, don't let him be a light bulb."
He was really afraid that Nie Jingfeng would jump into the lake and chase him...Big Brother would definitely do this."
"Don't worry, I will take Senior Nie away."
"Um."
"After you confirm that you have reached the Tianjue Abyss, try to come back and contact Jiuwei to go together."
"I know. I'm just afraid of other situations."
"I won't say more. Life is the most important thing. Only when you are alive can you have everything."
"Haha, Uncle Qi, I have understood this principle for a long time. Don't worry, just go back to Longhai and wait for me."
"Well, don't keep us waiting."
"Okay...I won't say any more. I'll continue."
Xiao Chen turned off the communication equipment and continued forward.
Half an hour later...
"Finally back, haha."
Li Jingheng waved his fan, looked at the lake in front of him and laughed.
"There are people by the lake."
Mr. Zhou stared at one place and narrowed his eyes.
"Oh? Plunder first, and if there are any strong ones, take them for your own use."
Li Jingheng glanced at it casually and didn't care.
They have done this kind of thing many times and have become very skilled at it.
"No, look at that big guy...is he the one next to Xiao Chen?"
Suddenly, Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice.
"It's Xiao Chen and his gang. They're back again!"
