After all, a lake is not a pond or puddle. Although the area of ​​the lake is less than one-fifth of its original area, it is still no longer his head. He walked step by step, until it was less than four meters above the water surface.

At this depth, the disturbances caused by the infusion of river water flow have completely disappeared.

The turbid lake water finally turned into jelly-like stagnant water.

The water temperature at the bottom of the lake is higher. Unlike normal lakes or rivers, the deeper the colder the more you are.

He felt that he was getting closer to that answer - because he felt...

Water flow.

A very slight disturbance. At first he felt it was his own illusion. But when he stood quietly at the bottom of the lake for five minutes, he could still feel the water flow after the turbulence driven by him calmed down.

Li Zhen slowly opened his eyes and felt a stinging pain. He looked into the distance - the water seemed to be flowing toward that side.

Once he determined the direction, he walked slowly in that direction. At first it was extremely slow - he was afraid of losing clues. But after walking more than ten meters and reaching a depth of six or seven meters, the force gradually became larger.

There is an outlet at the bottom of the lake - the water flows out from that outlet.

At this time, he realized that the reason why the lake water dropped rapidly was due to high temperature evaporation, and on the other hand, it was because of this gap. This thing may have existed for thousands of years. For thousands of years, the "devourers" who existed at the bottom of Taizi Lake had digested a large amount of Yangtze River water.

It seems that this is the true meaning of this lake... and are the rivers that have disappeared for thousands of years just for "suppression"?

More than ten minutes later, Li Zhen finally saw the thing.

It seemed to be a pillar cast from metal - perhaps bronze. If the aquatic plants that climbed on it and various well-known or unknown snail lions were added, its diameter reached nearly one meter. Li Zhen locked its position, floated onto the water surface and changed his breath, then dived again, approaching it cautiously.

This column, or water pipe, is more than one meter higher than the bottom of the lake. Maybe it would have been higher at first, but now it has been buried most of the silt. There is a hole about twenty centimeters in the center of the water pipe, and a thick layer of aquatic plants are also attached to the walls of the hole.

Li Zhen tried to reach out and use a little force to wipe off the layer of things on its surface, revealing the dark green surface below it. This was obviously patina. And a water pipe made of bronze... is the age of it.

The copper tube is a little hot right now. It seems like it has been sunbathed in the sun all day.

Li Zhen thought about it and looked down through the mouth of the tube, but found nothing unusual. Because the water was quite turbid, the copper tube must be extremely long. Nothing could be seen three or four meters away. What's more, it was more than ten meters or even dozens of meters.

But he didn't understand one thing - the water pipe is still open?

Even if this thing was made several meters thick, it should have been blocked after so many years.

However, this doubt did not bother him for a long time. Because just after he left his face away from the tube, he suddenly heard a slight rumbling sound. He clenched the gun in his hand alertly and took two steps back.

Then a thick mass of water vapor suddenly burst out from the pipe mouth - it seemed that a large mass of gas was pouring up from below. The hot gas made a slight explosion under the water. It quickly turned into countless tiny hot bubbles, rolling and floating towards the water surface.

Li Zhen had no way of knowing what was going on below. But there was one thing he could now be completely sure of - just under the lake, there was indeed a hot existence hidden!

If that was Ba, then it means that she has now awakened and started to revive. But Li Zhen still subconsciously took a breath of cold air, but swallowed a mouthful of turbid lake water. So he quickly floated to the water again and changed his breath.

Because he thought of something just now, and this incident made his spine feel a little cold.

If Ba had only recently begun to recover, then why did such a lake be created thousands of years ago and the lake water was to continue to flow? If she existed in the state of Chiyou or Adam, it would be unnecessary to do so.

Then this means that perhaps for this long period of time, she has been "sober", but is in a state of extreme weakness - perhaps because of some force.

For thousands of years, I have been trapped in such a place...

In this way, even the most painful experience has become insignificant.

Li Zhen dived again and walked around the super-large water pipe with a complicated mood. The evidence was indeed found, but where is the entrance?

He did not intend to think about this question again after a few seconds, because he realized that if the one who suppressed the king could use this method to ensure that the suppression was effective, then the so-called "humanitarianism" - perhaps the species would not consider that thing at all - would have no need to exist.

Maybe the person never planned to go in and see what happened, maybe there was no "entry" at all.

All this made the position of the person at the bottom of the lake again confusing - what would Huangdi do like this? Why?

He hesitated in the muddy lake for a quarter of an hour. He did not float to the surface for the third time until he had exhausted his breath, and took a look at his watch. It was eleven and twenty-six in the evening.

He realized that if he returned to that small hotel tonight, he would probably never be able to fall asleep again. As for things like "if you are fully prepared to plan and then move"...

There was really nothing to prepare. All the information was guessed by himself - fortunately, he was very lucky, so he guessed it right. And this seemed to be the sphere of influence of the Siberian crowd, so it was even harder to find any support.

However, "support" has always seemed a bit unnecessary for him. In this situation, he always regarded support as a burden, intentionally or unintentionally, because he might have to face a variety of things - even the one who and Lucifer did not come in close contact for some reasons, and ordinary people were even more powerless.

So he looked at the lake again and sank.

In fact, it is very simple to figure it out. He atomized himself in the water.

The feeling of making himself almost tangible in this environment is strange, as if he was mixed with heavy lead sand in his body. Now the lead sand is trying to flow out for a moment, and by the way he also wants to take away the fresh flesh and blood in his body. He spent two minutes to adapt to this state and unexpectedly found that he didn't need to hold his breath anymore.

There is dissolved oxygen in the water, and now he can absorb them directly.

He mixed himself in the water and fell rapidly.

The process was expected. The fall lasted only for more than ten seconds. It was difficult to see and listen like a normal person when atomized, but the feeling became sharper. The surrounding environment was only perceived by touch, which was a completely different "view angle".

Therefore, after these ten seconds, he first felt the wind - a wind that was so weak that all tangible creatures could not perceive. It seemed as obvious to him that there was a person roaring in his ear. The wind was not formed by the fall of the water flow, but was blowing from one end of a space to the other end, as if there were one or two other vents here.

Half a second ago he had already escaped from the pipe and felt the heat surging. He broke away from the water with the wind, and after a second he heard a chirp sound - as if cold water was poured onto the burned iron block.

He drifted four meters away with the wind. During this period, he made his body thinner as much as possible.

If you guessed correctly, the space should be quite dim. Even if there is a light source - maybe from the suppressed zodiac - it will not be bright. What's more, the lake water gushed in under the pressure of water, and the surrounding area must be misty, and it is unlikely that anyone will notice such a faint gas.

He continued to retreat a few meters away until he felt himself leaning against the slightly hot stone wall. Then he slowly wandered along the stone wall carefully.

It seemed like a naturally formed cave, quite wide. After walking forward for five minutes, he felt a faint force that dragged himself over, and the current of water.

The turbulent water flowed from time to time and splashed waves. He thought it was the water flow formed by the pouring lake water, but a minute later he realized that it seemed to be an underground river.

In reason, so much water pours down, there will inevitably be a channel for circulation. The underground river is very wide, four meters long. The other side of the river becomes quite narrow, almost against the stone walls on the river bank. When he began to approach the hot existence, Li Zhen retreated.

Just from the area he discovered, it was roughly as big as half a football field. The height of the cave was more than ten meters. Including the bronze water pipe, it means that he is now more than 30 meters deep underground. No other existence was found here, so it is almost impossible to rule out the possibility of ambush.

So Li Zhen retreated back to one side of the hole wall and condensed the body again after "listening" for three minutes.

As he expected, now he is hiding in the darkness.

only……

There are others.

The Longinus gun had been freed from his psychic influence and turned ivory white again. But instead of covering the gun behind him to isolate its faint reflection, he leaned it on the ground.

Because judging from the current situation, it is no longer necessary to do so.

A voice sounded in this empty and dark space, which sounded calm and gentle, and even a little kind.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Zhen pulled one foot out of the ground, kicked off a piece of stone that was accidentally fused into the condensed body, and smiled slightly: "Is this a surprise?"
