The morning light dispels the darkness, and the light spreads from the horizon. The thick white fog in the mountains still refuses to dissipate for a long time.
There were cries from the depths of the forest. Mo Qin and Long Ying had never seen anyone else since they came to the depths of the forest.
This place is vast, and there is not much depth to begin with. It is normal not to encounter talents.
Takiying was obviously not frightened by what happened yesterday. He was even in the mood to find some fruits nearby to try.
"It's just picked from the tree. You can't taste it so fresh outside."
He was holding a few bright red fruits in his hand, which looked very tempting.
In a place like this, if you eat the fruits you pick from the trees casually, you might die.
Mo Qin did not hesitate at all and took it directly and ate it.
After the fog almost dissipated, they planned to go down to the lake again. Before going down, Takiying took out many more things, including defensive weapons and a sword, which looked expensive at first glance.
Mo Qin didn't know what kind of sword it was, or what material it was made of, but she felt that this sword was probably much better than the sword she was about to own.
Takiying waved the sword in his hand, "I saw you chopping those things yesterday was like chopping cabbage. I'll give it a try too."
"." Mo Qin looked at the sword in his hand, then at him, but finally said nothing.
Such a good sword might work wonders.
-
Mo Qin and Taki Ying disguised themselves, held their breath and slowly walked along the edge of the lake towards the water. They stuck to the bottom of the lake and groped their way in little by little.
The lake here is not stagnant. In addition, there seems to be no other living creatures living in the lake except those vines. The lake is also relatively clean. At least the stones at the bottom are still clearly visible, and there are others lying with the rocks. A few sparse vines.
The roots of those vines extended toward the center of the lake, and finally disappeared into the deeper darkness.
They searched carefully without disturbing the vines.
As we get deeper and deeper, the light gradually begins to get worse, even though it is a cloudless day outside.
Mo Qin took out the lighting device she had prepared in advance so that she could see clearly whether there was anything she was looking for among the stones at the bottom of the lake.
For safety reasons, Mo Qin and Long Ying did not act separately. In such an environment, if something happened, it would be too late.
Different from the rush yesterday, this time they were able to put more thought into observing the environment at the bottom of the lake.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't see clearly what was going on at the bottom of the lake. They could only see a dark patch of water from a distance, and something seemed to be floating in the deep black.
"Look." Suddenly, Taki used voice transmission to communicate with Mo Qin.
Mo Qin followed the direction he pointed and saw a knee-high vague outline, like a stone. No, it was much thinner than a stone, and there were even some light-transmitting hollows vaguely visible.
what is that?
They moved in that direction, and when they got closer, they saw clearly what kind of animal bones those things were!
Only a bare skeleton was left, without any skin, fat or flesh.
This was obviously not a fish bone, but more like some kind of wild beast. Mo Qin immediately thought that this might be the same animal that strayed into the lake dragged by those vines yesterday.
Mo Qin couldn't help but look deeper, and found many vague outlines like piles of stones. The outlines were large and small, and the number was considerable.
Before seeing this skeleton, Mo Qin might have thought that they were really stones, but now she couldn't help but wonder if these were all animal skeletons.
Of course, according to yesterday's posture, the scene in front of me was nothing surprising.
Or rather, this is to be expected.
Takiying walked around and took a look, and he seemed to have discovered something.
"There seems to be something growing on the bones inside."
Mo Qin went over and looked inside, and sure enough he found a green thing that looked like coral growing inside the bone.
"There's some here too!"
Takiying ran to another skeleton to look at it. The same things were growing inside, but the sizes were different.
Not only these two skeletons, but also other skeletons around, there is only one in each, and they look quite regular.
Seeing these things, I thought about the little things that got into the wound yesterday. I am afraid that those things were not insects, but the larvae of this kind of vine.
There are them under every skeleton at the bottom of the lake. How many larvae of this plant are there? Mo Qin looked inside along the vines that were quietly clinging to the bottom of the lake. I'm afraid there are many grown ones inside.
Turning his head, Mo Qin saw Taki Ying standing in front of a larger skeleton, holding his valuable sword in his hand and poking at the inside of the skeleton, as if he wanted to poke at the young vines inside.
Mo Qin's heart was immediately raised. If he moved the thing, he was afraid that the vines around him would attack them crazily.
Just as she was about to walk that way, Takiying had already split open the frame with a sword. One-third of the frame was cut off, and the young plant growing inside the frame faced her from a distance.
Fortunately, the remaining two-thirds of the skeleton remained motionless, and the surrounding vines seemed to have no movement at all.
Mo Qin was temporarily relieved.
Taki used the tip of his sword to gently push aside the cut-off skeleton, revealing the stones beneath the skeleton. "We are very close to our destination."
The blue lines on the stone were particularly clear and cold under the dim light. When they were pulled out from under the bones, they came out with a cleanness that was not stained by the mud.
Mo Qin and Taki Ying paid attention to the vines around them and began to search around carefully.
Sure enough, there are a lot of stones like that around. If I have to say it, it's not that such stones cannot be used, but the quality is too low. Even if you use it to make something, it can only be regarded as a defective product.
Naturally, Mo Qin and Taki Ying did not intend to return after getting such materials.
It was dark and silent under the water, except for the subtle sounds of their movements.
Unknowingly, there were more and more bones around them. Looking around, it looked like they had strayed into the stone forest. The bones were getting bigger and bigger, and they started to block the view.
The surrounding visibility was getting lower and lower, and it was still dark inside. The bottom of the lake was like a bottomless pit, but the vines around it became more numerous and thicker.
Mo Qin's only idea was to leave as soon as he got the things.
She doesn't have a spirit of adventure, and her curiosity is limited.
As soon as this idea came to an end, Mo Qin discovered something good, "Biying stone! This should be fine."
Only a small part of the stone is exposed on the outside. The surface looks a bit gray, but you can see the pure blue color inside. The blue color is only vaguely mixed with some miscellaneous colors. As long as it is smelted and forged, there is no problem at all. of.
Takiying was not far away and rushed over immediately after hearing this.
"Finally found it, let's dig it out quickly."
The larger part of the stone is buried underneath, but judging from the exposed part, it should not be small, or this piece may be enough.
