"Junior brother, why do you think this forbidden area was established? There is nothing special about this place except the 'Yunyu Pavilion'." Zhong Gong continued to ask.
"Isn't 'Yunyu Pavilion' enough?" Xu Jun asked with a smile.
Ji Cangyu's heart tightened. The weight of "Yunyu Pavilion" was certainly enough, but he hoped that Qi Yang's judgment was correct. Because he didn't want to face the truth that so many innocent villagers died because of him, he couldn't bear it!
Xu Jun mentioned "Yunyu Pavilion" again, and Ji Cangyu also said before that "Yunyu Pavilion" was most likely the secret that the other party wanted to hide. Therefore, everyone could not help but begin to doubt whether the entrance Qi Yang was looking for really existed. Even Zhong Gong, who had originally supported Qi Yang, was no longer so determined.
"Just go back like this?" Jiang Yu asked uncertainly.
"No matter what you think, I will never give up!" Qi Yang said firmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and no one dared to speak again.
Ji Cangyu had no choice but to come out to smooth things over and said, "Let's do this! If you are willing to move forward, just follow. If you are not willing, just stay here. It is still safe here for the time being."
Everyone looked at each other and finally decided to continue walking with Qi Yang. After all, after going through so many hardships to get here, who can say just give up?
And just when everyone was hesitating whether to continue investigating, Qi Yang had already rummaged through the surrounding grass.
"Did Brother Yang find anything?" Ling'er asked quickly.
"The surrounding soil is tight, and it doesn't look like anyone has tampered with it." Qi Yang replied.
"That means there are no traps in the grassland in front of you?" Ling'er said in surprise.
"That's not necessarily true. For the time being, we can only confirm that this small area around us is safe. We'd better be careful." Qi Yang explained.
Ling'er nodded understandingly.
Qi Yang turned around and said to everyone: "I'm going to the lake for a visit. You just stay here for now!"
"I'll go with you!" Linger quickly followed.
"No! It's still quite a distance from here to the lake. It's safer for the girl to stay here with everyone." Qi Yang hurriedly refused.
How could Ling'er be willing to let Qi Yang take risks alone? Qi Yang was afraid that she would be in danger, and she was also worried about Qi Yang's safety!
Qi Yang saw Ling'er pulling on his robe again and not letting go, and continued to persuade: "Girl, be obedient! At this moment... I'm afraid I can't protect the girl."
Ji Cangyu was dissatisfied with the two people's tugging, so he walked over to Qi Yang and said, "Okay! Let's go there together! Everyone is also curious whether the entrance you mentioned is really in the lake."
Qi Yang saw Zhong Gong and the others following him, and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Therefore, Qi Yang asked everyone not to get separated and to follow closely behind him while he explored the way in front.
Qi Yang squatted down to check the density of the grass soil every few steps, and asked for directions along the way, leading the group of people closer to the lake.
Perhaps Ji Cangyu and Qi Yang had guessed that Mrs. Piao Piao was very at ease with the surrounding machine formations, so they did not set up any ambush along the way.
When he was approaching the lake, Zhong Long suddenly said with emotion: "Look at the green mountains and green water here. It seems that the people behind the scenes are not willing to destroy it."
"I didn't expect that this lake is not big, but the lake is so deep. Maybe it should be called a deep pool more appropriately!" Zhong Gong saw that the lake was green, and he knew that the lake was unfathomable.
"This is strange! Looking at the terrain here, there shouldn't be such a deep pool!" Zhao Xinghe frowned.
"If it wasn't formed naturally, someone did it intentionally." Liu Chuyuan speculated.
"It seems that Qi Shaoxia is right. This lake may be the entrance we are looking for." Jiang Yu took the opportunity to speak for Qi Yang.
The others looked at each other, but said nothing.
After a while, they arrived at the lake smoothly.
Just now, looking from a distance, one could vaguely see some raised spots on the lake. Everyone thought they were some branches floating on the lake.
Looking here at this moment, everyone can clearly see that the protrusions are wooden piles erected from the bottom of the lake.
"What's going on with these wooden piles?" Zhao Xinghe asked in surprise.
Liu Chuyuan counted them and said, "There are twelve in total. With this arrangement, it seems like someone likes to practice here?"
"When you put it like that, it really looks like a plum blossom pile. But how could anyone practice on this lake?" Zhao Xinghe found it unbelievable.
"Did this wooden pile exist before the lake was formed?" Zhong Gong speculated, "Didn't you just say that this lake or this deep pool is not naturally formed?"
"Isn't it just that someone planted a few logs at the bottom of the lake? Why did things become complicated as soon as we got to your place?" Xu Jun said impatiently.
"Jun'er, if you are tired, please go aside and rest for a while! Since Qi Shaoxia thinks this may be the entrance, we still have to investigate carefully." Ji Cangyu advised.
Although Ji Cangyu responded to Xu Jun's words, everyone still stopped their own inferences very wisely.
Ling'er ignored Xu Jun and walked towards Qi Yang, who was squatting by the lake thinking, and asked, "Brother Yang, have you discovered anything?" She felt that Qi Yang's inference was more reliable.
Everyone also came closer and wanted to hear Qi Yang's opinion.
Qi Yang stood up, turned around and said, "Everyone should stay away from the lake!"
"Are you worried that we will stumble and fall into the deep pool?" Jiang Yu said with a smile, but there was no hint of ridicule in his tone.
"That's not true. This is not a deep pool, and the lake is not deep." Qi Yang shook his head.
"Not deep? The lake is already dark green, so it's not deep yet?" Zhong Long retorted immediately.
Zhong Gong observed carefully, then pointed to the wooden pile in the middle of the lake and said in surprise: "It is indeed not deep. Look quickly, you can clearly see the bottom of the wooden pile!"
Everyone looked there. Although the lake was dark green, it was clear enough for everyone to see clearly where the bottom of the lake was.
Everyone was surprised, being blinded by the green color of the lake.
"But the color of this lake..." Zhong Long said puzzledly.
"The water is highly poisonous, so be sure not to touch it!" Qi Yang reminded.
As soon as these words came out, those who had just threatened to not be afraid of falling into the lake hurriedly walked further into the grass. Qi Yang and Ling'er were the only two people left on the shore.
Linger is not afraid. With Qi Yang beside her, she couldn't jump down even if she wanted to, let alone make a mistake.
But Ling'er wasn't afraid, but that didn't mean Qi Yang wasn't worried. When he saw Linger squatting down, he nervously warned: "Girl, be careful!"
Ling'er nodded to Qi Yang, then lowered his head to observe the lake. Immediately afterwards, she pulled out another grass and dipped one end of it into the lake.
What shocked everyone was that wherever the grass touched the lake water, it withered and turned into brown residue!
