At this moment, Yue Guanchao felt as if he was almost suffocated to death, gasping for air. Around him, Xu Xiake and Song Siyuan also relied on mental techniques to free themselves from the illusion.
They looked at the ancient clam in the lake. The shell of the thousand-year-old clam had been completely opened. A dozen transparent ghost hands stretched out from the clam, and a cool light red halo was emitted around it, along with the surrounding smoke and light particles. The dust also becomes extremely dreamy.
"Ancient clams are ancient clams. They are the best at creating illusions. But, how did we come out so fast this time?" Yue Guanchao looked at the ancient clams. This thing obviously didn't expect them to wake up so quickly. It churned the lake water and stirred up the waves. Emits a richer gas.
"It's useless at this time. This ancient clam is only a thousand years old, and its Taoism is still shallow. As long as we have illusions, it will be difficult for it to deal with us." After Song Siyuan finished speaking, the ancient clam saw that the aura had no effect, and the ghost hand The tentacles began to climb up the roof, and by entering the lake through the sunken ship, they had already extended their tentacles near them.
Yue Guanchao picked up the gasoline bottle and the bomb and threw it at the tentacles of the ghost hand that swept over. The flames instantly boiled and burned the tentacles backwards. Then, the bomb fell in a parabola near the ancient clam, and with a bang, half of the tentacles were destroyed. The shell exploded to a bloody pulp, causing the ancient clam to scream in pain and almost sink into the water.
The Mud Bodhisattva was still angry, and the ancient clam was burned by gasoline bottles again and again. He learned to be smart and attacked them from behind with his wandering ghost hands.
Yue Guanchao saw the ghost hand attacking Song Siyuan's head, so he had to push her away. The ghost hand swept across and saw him knock off the eaves and fall directly into the lake.
Once under the water, it was basically the territory of the ancient clam. The other tentacles instantly entangled themselves and pulled Yue Guanchao deeper into the lake. It was clear that he wanted to drown him. He thought that if the ancient clam could talk, it would probably Already started cursing.
No matter how powerful he is, he is still unable to cope with the entanglement of countless tentacles. Even his head is sinking underwater. If this continues, he will be drowned sooner or later.
Yue Guanchao took out the dagger from his waist and cut off the tentacles on his hands. Then he rolled in the water and directly pressed the tentacles tied to his ankles with a broken wooden board, cutting them off with three knives.
He wanted to surface, looked at the bottom of the lake, and felt a thump in his heart. This underground lake is not too deep, only about 20 meters. The surface of the lake is illuminated by open fire, and you can see clearly below the water surface. In addition to the dense water plants and rugged water rocks, there is one more thing that he did not expect - the entrance to the lake when they entered. In the direction, a huge sealed mesh door appeared. It looked like a flood sluice, extremely wide. At the same time, a giant grille was firmly trapped by iron chains, completely separating the underground lake from the outside world.
Under the water, countless huge turtle shells vaguely appeared. These turtle shells were as big as a house, as medium as a carriage, and as small as a water tank. They were like huge pebbles sunk in the lake, lying quietly under the water, surrounded by water plants. At every turn, some fish and shrimps even make nests in the turtle shells and swim back and forth.
"Turtle shell?" Yue Guanchao became curious. He had never seen so many huge turtle shells. Judging from the uneven backs and golden totems, these turtle shells probably came from Long Ao.
This conjecture shocked Yue Guanchao. He had always thought that there was only one dragon turtle in Dongting Lake. Now it seems that it is not just a matter of a few. This underground lake should be a resting place for turtles.
He avoided the ghost hands in the water, quickly emerged from the water, climbed into the cabin, returned to Song Siyuan and said: "There is something under the lake, it is hundreds of dragon turtle shells of different sizes." As soon as these words came out, Song Siyuan was already Knowing what was going on: "You mean, this underground lake is actually a turtle sleeping place?" Yue Guanchao nodded towards the two of them: "Yes, only the turtle sleeping place can gather so many turtle shells, and there are other , and we can’t find a reason, but we don’t know what the grille door that is flush with the underground lake cave door is used for? Judging from the way the chain is locked, it seems to prevent something from the outside world from coming in. " Now the situation has changed, and the three of them are also confused. They are hiding among the boats while avoiding the attack of the ancient clam.
Song Siyuan stood in the distance and looked at the things below the lake. Her eyes lit up and she finally got some clues. She explained: "If this underground lake is actually the turtle's sleeping place, it means that the people of Song Dynasty took over the turtle's sleeping place. Later, the turtle sleeping area was transformed into an underground lake. I think this huge mesh gate is actually blocking Long Ao from entering here."
"Stop Long Ao?" Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake became curious. Song Siyuan nodded towards the two of them and said: "Yes, the turtle resting place is rare in a thousand years. It is a good place to hide the wind and receive water. I wonder if I can find one in a thousand years. This kind of place is one of the favorite tombs of shelled animals." The land has accumulated strong feng shui because of the gathering of many dragons and turtles."
"It's like when a person finds a geomantic treasure land and is suddenly taken over by an uninvited guest, it will occupy it for a thousand years. If it were you, even if it occupied the geomantic treasure land for a short period of time, wouldn't you want it back if you had the chance? Thinking of this, he suddenly woke up: "Long Ao will not give up this turtle sleeping place. Even if the turtle sleeping place is occupied, Long Ao will not leave. In order to prevent Long Ao from destroying the treasure ship, we can only move it." The interception is out.”
"Even!" Song Siyuan changed the subject: "The Southern Song Dynasty rebels left the ship on Xuanwu Island precisely because this is the resting place of turtles. As long as Long Ao is unwilling to give up his nest, he will stay outside. At the same time, this ancient clam is completely There is no chance to go out, which also means that the ancient clam is actually a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and Long Ao has been guarding it here for thousands of years. It can be seen that the place where the turtle sleeps is very important to them. If something goes wrong in the place where the turtle sleeps, Long Ao will definitely fight for his life."
"If there is a problem in Turtle Mian... Long Ao will definitely fight hard..." Yue Guanchao himself was worried about how to kill the ancient clam. Seeing that they could no longer kill the beast with their own strength, they planned to give up here and chewed carefully. Her words meant something, and she finally had an idea.
"I have a dangerous trick, I don't know if it will work." Yue Guanchao looked at the two of them and explained: "Now that the treasures have been taken out, there is actually no use here. In this case, it is better to just open the huge grille gate. , if Long Ao knew that the gate could be opened, maybe he would have found it himself."
"Think about it, Ancient Clam has occupied this place for thousands of years, and Long Ao has also been guarding it for thousands of years. How bad is the hatred between the two? How about we bring Long Ao in and just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?" Song Siyuan carefully evaluated the plan. The possibility seems not very certain: "This is indeed feasible, but the risk is too great. What if Long Ao can't fight the ancient clam?" Yue Guanchao nodded: "It is indeed possible, but even if the ancient clam is not bitten, If it dies, its vitality will probably be severely damaged, so we take advantage of its weakness to kill it."
"Okay, let's get ready now." Yue Guanchao opened the Green Boat Club's backpack, took out the explosives from it, and ran along the sub-boat to the gate with Xu Xiake, jumped into the water and tied the bomb to the chain of the gate.
After finishing all this, they went up to the roof, climbed up the rope, and climbed up the thief cave along the climbing rope. After Xu Xiake and Song Siyuan went up, they were about to pull Yue Guanchao up too. The ancient clam found the opportunity and raised its tentacles to pull the legs and feet. , he fell and was almost pulled down.
