Chapter 281 The changing copper mine at the bottom of the lake!
"Coco, wait for me by the lake, I'll go down and have a look."
"Hey!" Coco responded, jumped off his shoulder, and lay down on a stone by the lake.
The lake water was very calm at this time, and the breeze blew, causing light ripples on the lake surface.
There are no longer any fish swimming in the lake. Even the lotus, lotus root, reeds and other plants that were originally around the lake have all withered at this time, and the entire lake presents an extremely desolate scene.
I don’t know if this lake will be frozen directly tomorrow.
The water in the lake was very clear. Xu Xin looked at the center of the lake. The bottomless lake was still pitch black, like a dead lake. Looking at it made people feel frightened.
Xu Xin took out a waterweed (blue), ate it and gained the ability to breathe underwater. He also ate a large red berry (blue) that allowed him to see things clearly in the dark, took a deep breath, Plunged into the lake.
The cold lake water instantly soaked into his body, making him shiver.
This lake is so icy! It’s already close to zero!
The scale armor suit was not a sealed suit, and water got in through the gaps in the scale armor suit, giving him a chill all over his body.
So cold!
The scale armor suit can't stop the cold in the water!
This needs to be sped up! Otherwise, at this temperature, his hands and feet would freeze and become numb before long.
Xu Xin opened her eyes and looked at the scene in the shallow water.
In this lake, there were actually no fish at all, and even the ordinary aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake had disappeared, leaving only gravel and gravel covering the bottom of the lake.
Compared with the previous lake, the lake at this time really makes people feel extremely bleak.
Without stopping, Xu Xin continued to swim toward the center of the lake.
Soon, within a few seconds, he reached the edge of the huge hole in the center of the lake.
Huh?
Xu Xin noticed something was wrong.
That bottomless hole in the middle of the lake, why does it feel like... it has expanded a bit?
The last time he went into the lake, the edge of the deep pit at the bottom of the lake dropped sharply, almost thirty meters away from the edge of the lake. In other words, the scope of the shallow water area was about thirty meters.
But now...
Looking at the huge pit in the middle of the lake that suddenly appeared in front of him, Xu Xin turned around and looked behind him.
The distance from here to the shore is only twenty meters at most... No, less than twenty meters!
... Will this huge hole in the middle of the lake expand on its own? !
Xu Xin's heart suddenly tightened.
What is going on?
After experiencing the Giant Skull Salt Mine incident, he became very sensitive to the terrain that could be changed by himself.
Could this giant hole be alive?
The beast's mouth?
Oh my god...I'm a little afraid to stop...
No, no, no...it shouldn't be possible...
This is just a hole. Judging from its appearance, it has nothing to do with a mouth or anything like that. It is completely different from the head of a giant.
But...
Xu Xin pursed her lips. This lake is really dangerous.
Although it brought him a lot of convenience when he originally chose to plant a tree house here, the dangers also came one after another.
If this huge hole can really continue to expand...
His tree house is less than 200 meters away from the lake. It is very close. If there is a problem with the lake, his tree house may not be able to escape.
Did he remember it wrong?
No, the distance has definitely become shorter, and the giant hole has indeed expanded!
Forget it, forget about it for now and finish what you have to do. Xu Xin still believes in Coco's statement that there is no danger in the cave.
He looked intently at the abyss.
At a depth of about twenty meters from the water surface, blue-level aquatic plants grew again, fluttering with the current on the cave wall.
It can be seen from the direction of the blowing grass that the water in the huge cave in the center of the lake slowly rotates in a clockwise direction, like a huge whirlpool.
However, because of the slow speed, if there is no movement of aquatic plants, it is impossible to tell that the water is flowing with the naked eye.
At a depth of about forty meters, the overall dark green ore is still on the cave wall.
However, what is different from last time is that none of those weird, aggressive-looking big fish that were swimming at a depth of fifty or sixty meters before is now invisible and has completely disappeared.
The blue-level swim bladder he ate was obtained from this kind of fish, and it also gave him a stronger ability to withstand water pressure, so he was now able to dig out those green metal ores.
Xu Xin carefully observed the rock wall below. He was afraid that these fish, which were very similar to the surrounding rock walls, were clinging to the cave wall and integrating with the cave wall, so he did not notice it.
After observing for a long time, he finally confirmed that there was indeed no such big fish in the cave at this time.
After confirming that there was no danger in the cave, Xu Xin continued to sink slowly, reaching a depth of about twenty meters, and harvested blue-level aquatic plants again. This time, he obtained fourteen plants, which enriched his inventory.
Continuing to sink, Xu Xin soon came close to the green-looking ores.
Most of these ores are green grade, with only a few scattered ones shining with blue light.
Xu Xin could already feel something abnormal in his body. Both his body and ears couldn't bear the water pressure here.
Forty meters?
This is probably his limit.
Compared with brother Qin Yunlong who could dive to a depth of 100 meters for exploration a long time ago, his diving ability is really worrying.
But it's enough, at least you can collect these ores.
After it was connected to the other side, this bottomless underwater cave was left to the two of them to explore.
Xu Xin glanced down. The pitch-black abyss and the bottomless depths of the water made him shudder and he quickly looked away.
Scary!
This is really a case of deep sea phobia.
He swam to the rock wall, stretched out his hand towards the green ore, and touched the ore.
[Copper Ore (Green): Metallic ore, which can be smelted into copper blocks in a furnace. It is extremely conductive and is a basic material for making electrical appliances. 】
really!
Coming!
Copper ore!
His guess was not wrong! It’s copper ore!
Copper ore that can be used to make electrical appliances!
It turns out that the copper ore is hidden in such a deep place. No wonder Li Wenxi found the gold mine but not the copper mine.
It turns out that the copper mine is in deep water!
However...brothers Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu didn't seem to find the copper mine.
Could it be that he is the only one who has it?
Forget it, let’s not think about this for now, let’s collect these copper ores first!
Xu Xin took out the prospector's steel pick, and Li Wenxi had given him hers last time.
Xu Xin kept holding on to the rock wall with one hand, and wielded the steel pickaxe with the other hand to dig into the underwater ore.
"Crack!" The steel pick struck the ore, but there was no change in the ore.
The resistance in the water is so great that the power of the pickaxe is greatly weakened.
Xu Xin could only swing the pickaxe again and again, and finally smashed a piece of ore down.
"Click!"
A whole piece of ore split into five pieces of [copper ore]. Xu Xin immediately collected them with quick eyes and hands, but in the end he still let a piece of copper ore fall into the bottomless abyss.
"This..." Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable. One of them actually fell down.
There was no good solution underwater, so he could only collect as much as possible.
"Click!"
"Click!"
These few times, no copper ore fell. Xu Xin collected the copper ore on the rock wall as quickly as possible.
"Click!"
This time, the triple explosion rate of [Prospector Steel Pickaxe] took effect. In an instant, fifteen pieces of copper ore appeared. Xu Xin could only collect them as best as he could, but finally let three pieces fall.
Shaking his head, he swam in front of a piece of blue-grade ore.
The blue light only accounts for a small part, and it should only be possible to dig out a piece of blue-level ore.
Xu Xin wielded the steel pickaxe.
After more than a dozen digs, he finally obtained the first piece of blue-grade copper ore.
And the second and third pieces.
The triple explosion rate is triggered again! And this time it happened to be triggered on blue-level ore!
Really good!
Putting the blue-grade copper ore into his backpack, Xu Xin stuffed another water plant into his mouth to continue breathing underwater, and continued digging.
"Click!" "Click!" "Click!"
Soon, he already had hundreds of pieces of copper ore in his backpack.
Among them, there are eight blue-grade copper ores.
After that, he mined blue-level copper ore three more times and had another triple explosion rate.
"This prospector's steel pickaxe is really good!" Xu Xin was very satisfied with the effect. Not only the blue-level copper ore, but also the green-level copper ore exploded a lot, which saved him a lot of time.
There are still a lot of green ores that have not been excavated on the cave wall, because this big cave is very big. There are a lot of such ores all around the forty-meter-deep cave wall.
But Xu Xin had already decided to go up.
He has been digging for almost an hour, and according to his request, Lou Fei'er should have returned by now.
Moreover, the water temperature was too low, and even though he had been moving, he couldn't stand it anymore.
The most important thing is that he clearly noticed something was wrong around him!
The water flow around here, which was originally rotating slowly, is now flowing much faster than before!
Now if he didn't hold on to the cave wall with his hands, he would be carried away directly by the current!
Moreover, what made him the most creepy was that he seemed to hear some kind of low sound coming from deep inside the cave, like...the roar of a whale.
The sound was faint, but it was still caught by his hearing amplification.
There is something deep under the water!
Better hurry up!
In his backpack, there are now more than 500 green-grade copper ores and eight blue-grade copper ores. According to the rules, five metal ores can smelt one metal block. If it is given to Li Wenxi, she can Come to smelt, and you will get more metal blocks in the end.
It should be able to meet the needs.
Go up!
Xu Xin began to rise slowly.
The current in the cave was really much stronger, spinning him along the cave wall.
In the bottomless cave, deep sounds kept coming upwards, which kept Xu Xin's heart hanging, clenching his teeth, and looking down from time to time.
Isn't it the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake?
Don't bring it out, right?
No, anacondas don’t have vocal organs, right?
However, anacondas cannot survive in deep water. The laws of the original world cannot explain anything here. In his opinion, this giant anaconda was almost the same as a dragon.
In the end, Xu Xin poked her head out of the water without any danger, breathed a long sigh of relief, and quickly swam towards the nearest lake.
Because as the current rotates, his position is already far away from where he entered the water.
Xu Xin swam to the shallow water, swam ashore, and walked around the lake to her original position, where Coco was still waiting.
In the distance, he heard Coco's anxious cry.
"嘤! 嘘嘤!" Coco ran back and forth by the lake, shouting at the water.
Finally, it jumped into the lake itself and swam toward the center of the lake with its little paws.
"Keke, I'm already up!" Xu Xin hurriedly ran in the direction of Keke.
"Huh?" Coco floated on the lake and looked back at Xu Xin, "Huh!"
Xu Xin quickly fished Coco out of the lake. The little guy could float on the water, but his swimming speed was really unflattering.
"Hey! Whoop!" Coco rubbed her wet head into Xu Xin's arms, then pointed her little paws at the lake and screamed twice, then shook her body, and the water on her body shook Xu Xin's face.
Xu Xin didn't care, since he had just come out of the water and was covered in water.
"There is danger in the lake..." He understood what Coco meant, looked at the bottomless center of the lake, and swallowed.
It seemed that the vague and low voice just now was not his illusion.
And the water speed is getting faster and faster...
Xu Xin was a little scared. It was really a terrifying danger. Otherwise, Coco would not be so anxious and jumped directly into the lake to find him.
Let’s put the exploration of this lake on hold for now.
The ore in his hand is enough for the time being.
Let professional people do professional things. After Qin Yunlong and others are connected here, let them come over and enter the water to explore.
He'd better not go down and ask for trouble. (End of chapter)
