When going up the mountain, tourists are often attracted by the vendors on the roadside, the trees along the road, and the magnificent Taoist temple.
Only when you come out of the main hall will the Ziwei Mountain show its true scenery.
There are no trees blocking here, and you can clearly see the vast scenery of Chao Lake in the southwest.
Presumably all tourists come here for this reason.
"Okay, it's not a waste of money." Qi Zhen sighed.
It was still early, so everyone decided to take a stroll on Ziwei Mountain.
Qi Zhen always felt that there must be something on this mountain, but it had not been discovered by the team yet.
So a few people began to choose some sparsely populated paths, a bit like a game of treasure hunting in the forest.
After wandering around, I didn't find anything special on the mountain.
Just when Qi Zhen was about to give up on the road to Chaohu, everyone walked to a wild lake at the foot of a mountain.
This place is located on the north side of the foothills. Because there is no sunshine all year round, the temperature is much lower than on the road when the team went up the mountain.
The first person to discover that this place was unusual was Jiang Yan.
As a mage, she has a very keen sense of the subtle mana fluctuations in the air.
There seems to be something unusual about the magic in the lake.
Qi Zhen tried it with her hands, but was so excited by the cold lake water that she shivered.
"It's so cold." Qi Zhen said.
Not only was Qi Zhen testing the temperature of the water with her hands, there were also other tourists who put their hands in one after another, and then immediately pulled their hands out due to the ice.
There were local people nearby telling the unknown tourists about the origin of this wild lake.
"We call this lake Cold Lake. Why is it called this lake? You will know after you put your hands in it and try it. The temperature of the lake is extremely low, and ordinary people will be frostbitten after a few breaths of contact. It is said that some people who fall into the water freeze to death. Here, I would like to remind you, be careful and don’t make a mistake.”
"If it's just a low temperature, it wouldn't be a miracle. The water in this lake has extremely low temperatures but never freezes all year round. It's really puzzling."
"It is said that this lake is connected to the waters of Chao Lake. There is a giant Kun living here. He goes to Chao Lake for cruising activities during the day and returns here to rest at night, so it is extremely cold. Later, the immortal came here and killed the giant Kun, and his body was found It is also stored in this lake, so that the lake water does not freeze all year round. It is just that there are rumors of supernatural beings, and benevolent people have different opinions, but no one knows the details. "
Listening to the man's lively talk, the people around him all showed expressions of enlightenment or surprise.
Then the man took out a cloth bag and began to collect money from the tourists around him.
"Damn! There's even a tour guide, it's quite fun." Yu Liang said in surprise.
"Do you believe what he said?" Qi Zhen asked everyone, ignoring the "tour guide" who walked away from them with a resentful look on his face.
"What does the letter say?" Yu Liang asked.
"If you believe it, let's go in and have a look." Qi Zhen pointed to the lake in front of her.
"If you don't believe it?" Yu Liang asked next.
"If you don't believe it, just go to Chaohu."
"But even if it's not what this person said, there must be something wrong here, so my suggestion is to go in and have a look." Qi Zhen concluded.
"But the question is, how to go and where to go." Jiang Yan said.
The cold lake in front of me is built on the mountain, and the end of the lake is the mountain wall. It seems that this lake has neither source nor end, as if it was created out of thin air.
"If there are no water veins above, it must be connected to the water veins below the ground, so we have to dive down." Qi Zhen said.
"With our physical condition, we don't have to worry about being frostbitten or freezing to death in the water here, but..." Li Qiang looked at Jiang Yan and Meng Ran.
"Why don't we three men go down and leave the two girls outside to help us look after the enemy?" Yu Liang also understood what Li Qiang meant and suggested.
No one has any opinions.
Compared with the unpredictable crisis, it is better to try to avoid the two girls' clothes getting wet.
This cold lake is not too small. The five people came to a location close to Ziwei Mountain, found a sparsely populated place, and prepared to go into the water.
"Are you all naked or shirtless?" Yu Liang looked at the lake and asked Qi Zhen.
Jiang Yan and Meng Ran rolled their eyes.
Qi Zhen said it was up to you, turned around and jumped into the lake.
The water temperature is indeed extremely low. With Qi Zhen's current physical condition, he feels that this water temperature is comparable to the cold spring water in the mountains.
Li Qiang also jumped into the water, and it seemed that he was in much better condition than Qi Zhen. Next is Yu Liang.
Unlike Qi Zhen, who had a very good understanding and sufficient anticipation of the temperature of the lake water, he started to cry out as soon as his body entered the water: "Ouch! Cold, cold, cold..."
After saying a dozen cold words in a row and splashing desperately in the water for a while, Yu Liang gradually adapted to the temperature of the water.
"Follow me." Qi Zhen said to Li Qiang and Yu Liang, and plunged in with a sudden movement.
The lake water is very clear, and Qi Zhen can have a panoramic view of the underwater situation with her eyes open.
After swimming along the mountain wall, Qi Zhen finally found a dark underwater hole in the center.
Then he surfaced.
He waved to the two girls on the far shore, and then pointed down.
The two girls understood that he had discovered something.
Qi Zhen said to Li Qiang and Yu Liang who followed her to the surface: "There is a hole below, which should lead to the heart of the mountain."
Li Qiang and Yu Liang nodded.
"I don't know what is waiting for us inside. Anyway, this time, captain, you are at the front, Yu Liang is at the back, and I am in the middle. If there are any problems, swim back immediately. Fighting underwater is very difficult for us. It’s not good.” Qi Zhen explained.
"After entering the water, except for my spiritual communication skills, you have no way to communicate with me. Therefore, all things below need to be left to the captain to adapt to your situation." Thinking of someone who has deep sea phobia and claustrophobia in the real world. Looking at these pictures and scenes, Qi Zhen found that she was gradually becoming a little scared.
Fear comes from the unknown, which is indeed an irrefutable truth.
The three of them finally nodded to each other, and Li Qiang, Qi Zhen, and Yu Liang dived in one after another.
When they were far away, they had no intuitive feeling about the entrance of the cave. It was not until the three of them got closer that they realized how huge the entrance of the cave was.
The three people were swimming inside, as if they had entered an extremely huge tunnel.
What's even more amazing is that although this tunnel is very dark, it is not that you can't see your fingers. The stones on the surrounding mountain walls are made of unknown materials and emit a hazy light, illuminating the path ahead for the three of them. .
The water temperature here is even colder, and Yu Liang, who has just adapted to the water temperature, feels like his body is stiff again.
