Wu Xie paused and said, "How do I know whether what you said is true or not? Also, there is one person missing in this video."
After hearing Wuxie's words, Aning didn't say anything. She just dragged the progress bar of the video. When the video came to the time when Aning and his team arrived, Aning looked up at Wuxie and said, "If you don't believe me, I can accompany you to watch all these videos."
Wuxie opened his mouth but didn't say anything. At this time, Xie Yuchen said, "Wuxie, you told me before that there is a siphon under the lake. So they might have been sucked into another place through the tunnel."
"Hua'er Ye is right. They might be in the mountains now. We should be able to find them with a carpet search." Hei Xia Zi also said.
Wuxie was still worried, "What if they're not in the mountains?"
"If they are not in the mountains, they should be somewhere at the bottom of the lake, and that place...we are also looking for it." Jude Kao suddenly walked in.
He continued, "You may not know me, but I'm very familiar with your elders. I'm Qiu Dekao, and I invited you here because I want to work with you."
Wuxie's eyes flashed, and he pondered, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Qiu Dekao looked at Wuxie kindly and said, "This isn't my first time on this lake. Without professional equipment, you can't go down there. Little Third Master, those aren't considered professional equipment. If you want to go down there, we can provide any equipment you need."
"Since you have everything, why do you still want to cooperate with us? You didn't come here from afar just to do charity, did you?" Wuxie asked.
Qiu Dekao smiled slightly. "The most important thing in cooperation is integrity. You want to go down, and I want to go down too. Besides, our interests don't conflict. I understand why you don't want to tell us the information you know, because I was the same when I was young. But now I know that I must trust my partners. I can tell you what I know. Under the lake is the Zhang family's ancient building."
Hearing about the Zhang Family Ancient Building, Wu Xie's eyes widened, "How did you know?!"
"It doesn't matter how I know it. It seems that not all of you have this information." Qiu Dekao said.
Wuxie looked at Jie Yuchen fiercely, and Jie Yuchen immediately explained, "We only found out about this after we separated from you in Star City."
Qiu Dekao said leisurely, "I've already told you about the Zhang family's ancient building. What I'm going to tell you next is that what I'm looking for should be the same as what you're looking for."
Wu Xie whispered, "If I were his age, there would probably only be one thing that would interest me."
"That's right!" Qiu Dekao responded, "What could be more attractive than immortality?"
Qiu Dekao stood up from his chair, walked over to Wuxie and extended his hand, "I look forward to our cooperation."
After hesitating for a while, Wuxie finally held Qiu Dekao's hand. It was just as Qiu Dekao said, their equipment was not complete enough. If Qiu Dekao joined, it would be a great help.
The next morning, Wuxie put on his diving suit and prepared to go into the water. When he arrived at the lake, Xie Yuchen still looked worried, not wanting Wuxie to go into the water alone.
Wu Xie patted Jie Yuchen, "I know you don't trust him, and I don't trust him either. That's why we need someone to watch over us up there. What if we all go down and run into danger in the water? We can't let the three of us get killed."
Xie Yuchen sighed and was about to speak when Hei Xiazi stopped him, "Xiao Hua'er, just listen to Wuxie. Besides, even if Qiu Dekao really had some ideas, with the power of the Wu family and the Nine Gates, Qiu Dekao wouldn't dare to act rashly. It wouldn't benefit him to hurt Wuxie."
Xie Yuchen looked at Hei Xia Zi, hesitated for a moment and finally compromised. He watched Wuxie's kayak slowly sail into the center of the lake. After watching Wuxie get into the water, Xie Yuchen's brows slowly showed signs of relaxing.
The water in the lake was not very clear. After Wuxie went down, he swam all the way to the bottom of the lake. When he was about to reach the bottom of the lake, a huge black shadow suddenly passed by his eyes. This movement made Wuxie stop and look at the scene vigilantly. But after waiting for a long time, there was no other movement, and the black shadow did not appear again. Wuxie had no choice but to muster up the courage to continue diving.
When diving to 60 meters, Wuxie stopped, and Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi on the shore quickly contacted Wuxie.
"Wuxie, Wuxie? Can you hear me?"
"Yes, I found a Yao village complex down there. I'm swimming in that direction. Wait, there's a house there that's different from the others. It looks like a Han-style building."
Wuxie slowly approached the building complex and landed at the door of the Han-style building. He saw the plaque above the door saying 'Master of the Zhang Family'. Wuxie slowly swam to the door and carefully pushed open the door of the Zhang family's ancient building. It was pitch black inside, with only the light from the flashlight in Wuxie's hand.
There was no decoration in the building. Wu Xie took a look around and continued to swim inside, not noticing that the door he came in from was slowly closing behind him.
"It sounds like a bell." Wuxie said.
Hei Xiazi pressed the intercom and asked, "How could there be a bell in the water?"
Xie Yuchen explained, "Wu Xie has no diving experience, so it might be auditory hallucinations caused by the water pressure."
Wu Xie continued to go deeper, and suddenly heard another dragon roar. Even Wu Xie himself thought he was hallucinating. Wu Xie thought about it and reached forward, but found that his hand passed through a water curtain. Wu Xie stretched out his hand to test it and then withdrew his hand, exclaiming: "How is this possible?!"
As he spoke, Wuxie pushed aside the water curtain and went inside, his feet also stepping on solid ground. Wuxie shone the flashlight around and only saw the water curtain standing behind him. Wuxie immediately contacted Jie Yuchen on the shore, but no matter how he shouted, there was no response. Wuxie panicked and took off his diving mask to carefully look at the separated space.
At this time, the people on the shore also lost contact with Wuxie. Xie Yuchen shouted several times into the walkie-talkie but received no response. Hei Xiazi adjusted the equipment and shouted a few more times but still received no response. Seeing this, Aning behind him immediately ran to find Qiu Dekao.
At the bottom of the lake, Wuxie walked in carefully with a flashlight in hand. Suddenly, he found a string of letters on the door panel. Wuxie thought it was a mark left by Zhang Qiling, so he pressed the earphone and walked in.
Wuxie opened another door and became more and more frightened the further he walked. The building was clearly of Han style, but the patterns inside were all from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Wuxie tried to contact Jie Yuchen again, but there was still no response. Wuxie had no choice but to continue going deeper inside.
