Chapter 410: Ancient Village at the Bottom of the Lake
Hu Ming's marksmanship has long been freed from the shackles of aiming with the naked eye, even though the night was shrouded, even though Jiangnan didn't open his eyes at all.
But this shot still accurately hit an unknown humanoid creature hundreds of meters away.
"Roar~~~"
Only a short and shrill roar was heard, and violent movement came from the lake in front.
Immediately, the sound of water splashing was heard.
“Are you going to run away?”
Hu Ming was stunned when he heard the sound in his ears.
At this time, Wu Xie had returned to the camp and brought out a professional searchlight, focusing the light on it.
I saw that the three dark shadows at their original positions had disappeared, leaving only a circle of ripples on the water.
Looking carefully, there are still dark green blood stains on the lake.
"Fat Master, this is the first time I have seen such a cowardly monster..."
The fat man put down the paratrooper knife in his hand and looked at the lake blankly.
To be honest, among the monsters they met in the past, which one was not fighting them to the death?
Where was the one who ran away in despair after just being shot?
"Those things are intelligent. It is a smart choice to retreat immediately when the situation is not good!"
However, Hu Ming was filled with admiration for the actions of the three monsters.
We are not afraid of how exaggerated the monster's physique is. What we are afraid of is that this kind of existence has superhuman physical fitness and also possesses high intelligence.
Monsters like this are the most difficult to deal with.
Everyone walked carefully to the lake.
At this time, like a sea tide, the lake water stirred up waves, constantly beating against the rocks on the shore.
Compared with that during the day, the water level on the shore has dropped by at least one meter in a short period of time!
Looking at the full moon on the horizon like a jade plate, in Looking down at the wet lines on the beach, Wu Xie understood clearly.
"Sure enough, uncle, this lake is just as you said, it is a siphon lake."
"No wonder we can't find any trace of the body."
"This lake has a siphon tide every night, so the corpses of that year may be sucked to the center of the lake by the siphon tide."
Standing up, Wu Xie wiped his hands covered with sand and looked at Looking at the lake, hope filled my heart.
"It's like a flush toilet!" The fat man made a fist with his right hand and lightly hammered the palm of his left hand. If he explained it this way, he would understand!
"...It's a bit vulgar, but the principle is this. , there should be some wreckage and the like in the center of the lake."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early, we have to get up early to work tomorrow!"< br>
Return the shotgun to Agui, Hu Ming said.
"Okay!"
No words were spoken all night, leaving the night watchers behind, and everyone got into their sleeping bags.
About ten o'clock the next day, under the increasingly hot eyes, Hu Ming and others woke up rubbing their sleepy eyes.
After a simple breakfast, Wu Xie and others looked at Hu Ming with blank expressions as he once again took out a rubber boat from his "magical" hiking bag!!!
Then, Hu Ming took out a complete set of cheering equipment without changing his expression.
Okay, another magical magic trick?
Ignoring the blank stares of the three people, Hu Mingshi cheered up the rubber boat and pushed it into the lake.
“Why are you standing there in a daze? Find some bigger rocks and bring them up!”
Seeing the three people still watching his movements in a daze, Hu Ming couldn’t help but urge. .
Not long after, when they were ready, the four of them boarded the rubber boat and rowed towards the center of the lake.
It was already twelve o'clock at noon, the sun was already shining brightly, but the lake water was still extremely cold. "Two chicks? Are you serious?"
"Why don't you just wear elephant trunk pants!?"
Changing to diving on the rubber boat In the facility, Hu Ming and Wu Xie stared blankly at the fat man's childlike underwear.
Two chicks!!!
“Bah, you people are so boring. Don’t you know that no matter how old a man is, there is always a child hidden inside him?”
The old fat man’s face turned red. He quickly put on a wetsuit on board to cover up his embarrassment.
Thankfully Agui and Yuncai didn't follow him, otherwise the fat man would really want to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake at this moment.
The four of them quickly changed into diving equipment and checked the time.
"Half an hour! The capacity of our oxygen tank is not large. For safety reasons, we must float up every half hour."
"Besides, you also saw the three humanoid creatures last night. No one I don’t know if there are any other creatures in the lake.”
“Be careful when you go down. If you find any danger, signal immediately and come up.”
Sit down next to the rubber boat. Ming instructed softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Ming put on his diving goggles, hugged a big stone, turned over and fell into the water.
The stones are an auxiliary means to increase one's own weight and sink quickly to the bottom of the water.
The temperature difference between the water and the outside world is huge. The moment you enter the water, the freezing cold water dissipates the heat brought by the sun.
Under the influence of the stones, Hu Ming kept falling.
Immediately, Wu Xie, Fatty, and Little Brother also entered the water at once and fell behind Hu Ming.
Soon, as we go deeper, the color of the lake becomes darker, and the sunlight can no longer reach its current depth.
Not long after, Hu Ming had landed safely on the ground.
The water pressure of the deep water compressed his chest, causing a slight feeling of discomfort. After taking a few deep breaths, Hu Ming adapted and looked at the surrounding environment.
The landing point is a slope at the bottom of the lake. Obviously, this is not the deepest part of the lake.
There are gravels everywhere at the bottom of the lake. The gravels are covered with a layer of water. Other than that, it is extremely clean. You can't even find aquatic plants and the like.
The diving light was turned on, and at a glance, not even fish could be seen.
It seems that there is nothing else in this lake except water. It is a dead lake.
“Thirty-three meters deep”
Hu Ming glanced at the diving watch on his wrist.
At this time, Wu Xie and the others had slowly fallen down. They threw away the stones in their arms and communicated with each other with gestures.
After a while, after the communication was completed, several people dispersed and dived down the slope in different directions.
Hu Ming's figure was parallel to the bottom of the lake, moving diagonally downward at all times.
Even with diving goggles, the underwater vision is still blurry, and the scene in front of you can only be roughly seen.
After advancing for several hundred meters, Hu Ming's field of vision suddenly became wider.
A huge and blurry shadow appeared in the deep blue-gray water ahead.
From a distance, this shadow looks like the head of a crocodile.
Hu Ming raised his eyebrows and was not surprised. He turned on the diving light and illuminated the lake in front of him.
That shadow
It is an ancient village of the Yao people sleeping at the bottom of the lake!
