So, we discussed it.
It was decided to let one person go into the lake to explore the situation first.
Unexpectedly, Madoka was quite loyal, so she immediately volunteered to go into the water to see what was going on!
After all, it is smaller, more flexible and faster than us in the water.
Moreover, you can maintain remote sensing communication with me at any time.
It's just that I'm a little worried.
"Can you an eagle swim?"
"Young boy Wu, you are an idiot. When you were in junior high school, didn't we pass the underground river together at the back of your school? What's more, don't you know there is a thing called an osprey? My water quality is better than that of an osprey."
I nodded.
"Okay, fat bird, you go down later and pay attention to your safety. Be careful!"
"I know, long-winded!"
Madoka said, flapped her wings and flew up, then accelerated her fall and dived into the clear and transparent water with a splash.
On the surface, the water of this terrifying "corpse lake" is extremely clear and transparent, with a crystal and glass texture. Under the light of the fire, visibility was very high.
So we can see Madoka quickly going deep into the lake, and then reaching the dark bottom of the lake where light cannot penetrate...
This "corpse lake" should be very deep!
After about twenty or thirty seconds, I estimated that with Madoka's speed, we should have reached a depth of at least thirty meters, so I asked.
"How's it going, Fatty Bird? Did you find anything in the water?"
Madoka's answer immediately rang in her mind.
"I've dived so deep, and I haven't even seen a shadow of a ghost! This is very strange. Judging from the situation when the little stupid dog took you down the river before, there should be a lot of corpses in this dark lake. That’s right.”
"Generally speaking, the more powerful the zombies will be, the more they will gather in the deep water. The less powerful zombies will float in the shallower upper layer. It is impossible that all the zombies in this lake are at the ferocious level, right?"
I also find it very strange.
Madoka has dived so deep, but she didn't even see a corpse in the water?
"Damn Fat Bird, how deep do you think it is down there?"
"How can we estimate this? But my field of vision under the water is at least ten meters. Looking down now, it is still a large area of darkness deeper. You said that little plum, you are really brave."
Madoka complained as she continued to dive down.
Lao Cao frowned and analyzed.
"I think it is unlikely that all the corpse lakes are filled with powerful zombies. Either they are all hiding for some reason. Or they are controlled by a powerful zombie and gathered somewhere at the bottom of the lake."
That's right!
I felt even more worried.
"Perhaps, it's the mother-and-child corpse evil that Brother Li and the others want to deal with. A terrifying beast of this level can basically run amok. It's not impossible to intimidate other zombies in this corpse lake. .But to what purpose?”
I can't figure it out.
Could it be that all the zombies in the lake were summoned to deal with Li Miao and the infernal woman?
Not so!
With Li Miao's strength, he would have to go to great lengths to deal with even the more powerful ones among the zombies in a single fight. There is absolutely no need for such a vicious creature that can already emit [Corpse Fragrance]...
Could it be that this mother-in-law zombie is too cautious and will do its best no matter how big the threat from the other party is? Not only did he go there himself, but he also forcibly summoned the younger brothers from the lake to go there together!
Or is it that Li Miao and the others managed to escape by chance, so the zombies summoned the zombies in the lake to pursue them?
I thought about various possibilities in my mind, and couldn't help but become a little anxious.
At this time, Madoka's voice sounded in my mind.
"Boy Wu, I made a discovery!"
I responded quickly.
"What's going on?"
"There is a large, wide underground rock crack on the rock wall at the edge of the lake. It seems to be naturally formed. It is very deep and dark inside, and it probably leads to a crack in the rock formation or an underground cave."
"I can feel the residual evil corpse energy nearby. I'm afraid that all the corpses in the lake have entered the underwater cracks. Xiao Lizi and the others, whether they are dead or alive, I'm afraid they will all be carried in. It’s in the cracks. What do you say now?”
The situation Madoka discovered made me feel helpless.
Such a complicated situation again!
If it were just the circular corpse lake in front of us, the water would be clear and the structure would be simple, straight up and down. If there is a dead body inside, it will be a head-on fight.
But there are also underground rock cracks with complex structures, which greatly increases the danger level!
This kind of dark, gloomy place underground, filled with cold river water, even if there are no dead bodies, just normal exploration is dangerous enough.
Even many professional divers who have a full set of high-tech diving equipment may not be able to get up!
Although we are practitioners, our magic methods are not weak.
But I don’t dare to overestimate it.
Unless there are corpse hunters who have reached my current level, the dark and cold underwater world is not dangerous to them. There is almost no difference from ordinary people on land!
I gritted my teeth.
"Go in! Now that everything is basically confirmed, let's go in together. You fat bird, wait for now, and we'll come down together."
"Okay, then you must be prepared before coming down. To be honest, I think this place is much more dangerous than the Zhonghou Mountain in Lianghe District a few years ago."
Madoka reminded.
This guy is just carefree, but he is still not confused when it comes to serious matters.
I cheered.
"Don't worry, our strength cannot be compared with that time."
This is indeed true...
My progress in the past few years has been absolutely amazing!
Whether it is spell cultivation or martial arts, his overall strength far exceeds that of when he obtained the Zhenhe Order. The same goes for Madoka herself.
In addition, Lao Cao received something as a gift from my master and listened to the "sermon" my master gave before he left. The strength that has been stable for many years has begun to improve again...
Therefore, although the search for Li Miao is dangerous, it cannot be said to be without any certainty.
I began to cast all the spells that would work for my current situation.
The breath-holding talisman, the water-repelling talisman, and the divine speed talisman!
Me, Lao Cao, Heizi...the two of us and the dog have the effects of three kinds of spells superimposed on them.
Lao Cao tied the phoenix rope, his magic weapon, around his waist to connect the three of us. Then he jumped into this weird corpse lake at the same time...
The moment I entered the water, I felt an overwhelming yin energy coming over me.
I couldn't help but shudder.
Although the charms I used can block the freezing water temperature, they are still unable to block the cold air generated by countless drowned corpses deposited in the lake over the years.
I sensed Xiao Yuan's direction and slowly swam over with Lao Cao and Heizi...
The silent and dark underwater world is empty.
Although this corpse lake is connected to the tributaries of the Sichuan River outside, there are no fish, shrimps, turtles, crabs, aquatic plants, or algae in it!
It seems like an empty water that truly belongs to death.
Our speed underwater is definitely no better than Madoka.
So it took an extra minute or two to reach it. Looking at the huge black rock cracks in front of us...
