Since he doesn't know water spells, Huang Ming cannot travel quickly through the water.
He had no choice but to use an ordinary mana shield to push away the lake water around him, and slowly dive towards the bottom of the lake.
This lake is very special, like a deep vertical pool.
The edge of the lake was full of stones, with no plants, and there were no living creatures or aquatic plants in the water. It was bottomless and freezing, so Huang Ming had to use the "Fire Flame Technique" to resist the cold air and speed up his dive.
Not knowing how long he had been diving, Huang Ming slowly approached the bottom of the lake.
From a distance, Huang Ming found a huge black shadow in the middle of the lake bottom, like a big turtle.
Huang Ming was a little confused. How could there be a giant turtle at the bottom of the lake? Are there other creatures here?
However, Huang Ming soon discovered that this huge black shadow was not a ten thousand-year-old giant turtle, but a Xuanwu statue made of unknown materials.
This Xuanwu statue has its head and tail raised to the sky and its four legs touching the ground. It has a very strange shape.
But apart from its strange shape, there is nothing wrong with this Xuanwu statue. It has neither coercion nor spiritual power. It is just an ordinary huge statue.
I swam around the Xuanwu statue and found no trace of Xiao Hua.
Huang Ming couldn't help but feel a little depressed, what happened, where did Xiao Hua go?
Why are his mana fluctuations and spiritual energy aura missing?
Just as he was thinking about it, the tail of this huge Xuanwu statue suddenly "swish" and sprayed out a stream of bubbling golden light.
There is a figure in the golden light, it is Xiao Hua.
"Huang Ming, here, here"
Xiao Hua waved to Huang Ming, then turned around and went back.
It turns out that there is a small hole under the raised tail of this Xuanwu statue, and Xiao Hua entered from here.
Huang Ming swam to the entrance of the cave and stopped, muttering to himself.
"Damn it, he can find it in such a hidden place. It seems that this guy has done a lot of research on chrysanthemums."
Not long after entering the small cave and swimming, a row of steps appeared in the water. Huang Ming walked up the steps without hesitation.
Above the steps is a square platform, which is a bit like the altar in the Ancient Demon Temple.
However, this platform is not an altar, nor does it have an offering table or a gong. All it has is a semicircular arch made of unknown materials.
"Hey, where is this place? Why is there a broken stone gate?" Huang Ming was curious.
"What a broken stone door? This is a space portal. As long as it is activated, we can leave."
Xiao Hua was very excited. He had studied this kind of portal in the cave and had a certain understanding of this kind of space portal standing on the ground.
"You can leave as long as you activate it?"
Huang Ming was also a little excited, but he only understood seven of the eight orifices of the magic circle and knew nothing about it.
"Yes, the teleportation array we usually use is in the same time and space no matter how far it can be transmitted, but this kind of space teleportation gate is different from the teleportation array."
"To put it simply, this kind of space portal is similar to the time and space rift through which we were transported. It can transport people directly to another time and space."
Xiao Hua explained a little bit.
"Can it be teleported to another time and space? Do you mean that we have to enter the time and space rift again and experience another teleportation of life and death?"
Huang Ming has a big head, is he going to vomit again?
"It won't happen this time. The previous space-time rift was forcibly created because the power of the Five Elements Stone was reversed. This is a real space portal. The other side is definitely safe," Xiao Hua explained again.
"Then where does this portal lead to? Can it be returned to Xiaolingtian? How can it be activated?"
"Nonsense, I just didn't know, so I went out to find you to study together. Otherwise, I would have left long ago without informing you. But I didn't expect you, a landlubber, to dive to the bottom of the lake by yourself."
Xiao Hua rolled his eyes at Huang Ming. He was still a little angry about Huang Ming's failure to actively find a way out.
"Dear sister, you are the duck, the kind who stands under the telephone pole on the roadside for a hundred dollars a night. Let me tell you, I saw you drowning yourself in the lake before I thought of coming down to help you collect your body, otherwise I would definitely not Come"
Huang Ming retorted.
"Damn, you're the one who would commit suicide by throwing yourself into a lake. Stop talking nonsense and quickly study how to activate this."
"I don't understand magic circles. You want me to study them?"
Huang Ming said this, but he still walked to the semi-circular arch made of unknown materials and took a closer look.
"I have seen the runes on the door. The front and rear are fixed and cannot be moved. This space portal should be fixed to a certain place. The problem now is that I can't find the spiritual stone slot to activate the portal."
Xiao Hua stood aside with his hands folded and told the results of his previous inspection.
"I said Liangdan, is there something wrong with your eyes? There are small holes on the left and right sides of the door and on the top. Didn't you see it?"
Huang Ming soon discovered that there were three small holes in the arch.
"Nonsense, how can I not see such a big hole? But do you have such a big spiritual stone?"
Xiao Hua had also discovered the three small holes long ago, but the size of the three small holes was much larger than the spirit stone. No matter whether the low-level spirit stone or the mid-level spirit stone was put in, it was a circle too small and could not be activated.
"Does it require the use of top-quality spiritual stones or other crystal stones to activate it?" Huang Ming touched his chin.
"The best spiritual stone or other crystal stones?"
Xiao Hua frowned, and then put his storage bracelet in front of his eyes.
"It can't be like this"
Xiao Hua took out a strip-shaped brocade box covered with soul-suppressing charms from his storage bracelet.
After opening it, there were three fist-sized crimson crystals emitting light fluorescence.
"Hey, your sister, what kind of stone is that? Is it the best spiritual stone?" Huang Ming looked envious.
"I don't know either. It was left by the Minotaur. Hey, if you say that, the Minotaur should also know about this portal? Otherwise, how could he have such a stone?"
Xiao Hua touched his bald head, thoughtfully.
After the Minotaur escaped, in addition to looking for himself, a bald little monk, he was also looking for the ancient painting that Huang Ming had obtained. The Minotaur was looking for him for revenge, but what was it looking for the ancient painting for?
"Never mind the Minotaur and Horsehead, try it quickly." Huang Ming was a little jealous and urged Xiao Hua to try it quickly.
"Okay, let me try, start driving, start driving!"
Xiao Hua pushed Huang Ming away and put a red crystal stone into the small hole on the left side of the doorway.
But there was no response, so Xiao Hua put the other two into other jacks.
As the last crystal was put in, the ancient runes on the portal began to shine with golden light.
"boom"
The portal shook, a powerful and ancient prehistoric aura emanated from the runes, and the entire portal began to emit bursts of golden light.
After a while, "Buzz..., chila..."
Three bowl-shaped purple arcs with gold in them shot out from the edge of the doorway where the spar was placed to the center of the doorway at the same time.
A crackling ball of purple and gold formed in the center of the doorway.
