Fairy’s Box
Chapter 68: The secret of the lake
Using the discarded wood, Nicole and Clark put together a simple wooden house, and Yale covered the hay found from all over the village.
The sky darkened little by little until it was pitch black, and the three of them dragged their tired bodies into the wooden house.
Yale lay down a little, and the numbness penetrated into the flesh and bone marrow from his hands and feet. In an instant, his limbs, his bones, were soft and light.
With his head on the hay, he fell asleep almost immediately, while Clark let out a light, symmetrical snoring sound. Nicole kept her spirits high, sitting cross-legged upright, her fingers nimbly playing with a strand of hair.
In the wild, it is impossible to be vigilant. Even in a seemingly safe environment, you need to take turns to watch the night. As the captain, she should be on the first post.
Four hours later, Clark woke up on time, took the water bottle, took a sip of cold water, and sat up with his back straight. Seeing him sitting up straight, Nicole immediately fell to the ground and fell asleep... Next was Yale.
The night sky gradually turned blue, revealing a large strip of golden light, and the red glow instantly reflected half of the sky, and a shadow line appeared on the ground, retreating a little bit. The light band became smaller and smaller, and finally became a small semi-circle of light. The sky darkened, and the morning glow became dark. A dazzling red dot jumped out from the end of the forest.
It's finally dawn!
Awakening his comrade from sleep, Yale took out his dry clothes and walked to the lake to the north.
I slept too soundly last night and didn't notice it, and when I woke up today, my whole body was sticky and uncomfortable. After finally staying up until dawn, he decided to take a bath first.
There are a few white clouds floating in the endless sky. Under the blue sky, the lake is crystal clear. The only thing that is not harmonious is the ruined village in the south.
The people of Desa Village dug the whole village with potholes, but this lake is well protected.
The sun shines on the finely shimmered lake, like a layer of shimmering silver shimmering on the water. The lake is covered with a mist like blue smoke. Looking at the mountains from a distance, only the gray shadows of the mountains can be vaguely discerned.
Yale took off his clothes and jumped into the water naked. The cold and clear lake water soaked his whole body, and his whole body felt comfortable, and his whole body felt completely new.
After a while, he washed up and down, saw Nicole rubbing her eyes and approaching the lake, carrying the toiletry tools in her hand, so he smirked and sank into the water.
The female knight wetted her face with a towel, and was about to brush her teeth, when a circle of ripples appeared on the water, and a face with black lines appeared out of the water with a sinister smile.
She slammed down with a punch subconsciously, and the giant force splashed half-human-high water, and someone sank to the bottom of the lake with a head turned upside down.
Ahhh... this familiar feeling...
A few meters below the lake surface, the faint water pressure awakened the memory of the deep-water training ground. Yalei couldn't help diving.
As an experienced diver, he can calculate the water depth from the fluctuation of the lake water alone.
Having almost dived to the bottom of the lake, Yale stepped into the silt at the bottom of the lake, ready to use his strength to escape out of the lake. At the moment of contact with the mud, a suction force suddenly came from the soles of the feet.
what is this?
He suddenly ignited his grudge, punched the lake, and sent out a distress signal. Then quickly paddled the water to try to float up, but couldn't find a point to borrow, with little success.
On the lake, after Nicole brushed her teeth, the thought of Yale bathing in the lake made her body feel itchy. She simply took off her clothes and was about to jump into the water gorgeously, when a splash of water suddenly exploded on the lake, spraying cold water all over her face.
Are you trying to start a war! ?
The female knight was furious, and a fierce man plunged into the water with long legs and dived gracefully like a mermaid.
She was looking for the provocateur with her eyes wide open, but found a large swath of silt in the center of the lake bottom, and a stream of heat was coming.
Is this lake still a hot spring? No, this water is boiled, it's Yale's vindictiveness!
Nicole dived sharply and got close to the bottom of the lake. When she saw someone whose lower body had fallen into the bottom of the lake, she quickly reached out and grabbed it.
Holding her companion's right hand, she floated up with all her strength, but it still couldn't compare to the suction at the bottom of the lake.
Clark just happened to walk to the lake at this time, and just bent down, the lake suddenly exploded with large water splashes, and the silver fighting qi burst out of the water and slammed into the sky.
Then there was another black flame, and he immediately felt that something was wrong. He didn't have time to take off his clothes, so he plunged into the lake.
Dive to the bottom of the lake, pay attention to the sound of the water, Clark approached the two in the filthy water, grabbed a slender but elastic arm in the confusion, and pulled it up sharply.
Nicole struggled for a while, but couldn't resist the opponent, and was pulled out by him helplessly. When she floated to a position where the water was clearer, she gestured, it wasn't her who was unlucky, it was Yalei. They should be pulling the hapless guy's arm together.
The exquisite and slender body of the female knight was exposed in front of him. At this moment, he felt that he heard the chant of heaven.
After making a half gesture, Clark was sluggish at first, then nodded sharply. A red liquid spewed out of his nostrils, which quickly faded with the dilution of the lake water.
Nicole was stunned for a moment, her face flushed instantly, an angry punch hit the other party's forehead, and then dived again.
At this time, Yale's head was still standing out of the mud, and he was unable to muddy the lake, and his heart was full of despair. Before long, he will be suffocated to death in the putrid silt...
The water at the bottom of the lake was clearing, and when he saw Clark and Nicole swimming back like saviors, he felt the urge to cry. That expressionless man, with a strange red liquid spraying from his nostrils... I swear, I will never laugh at you...
Hahaha... uh, goooooooooo...
Then two big two small four hands grabbed someone who was choking on the water and rolled his eyes, and pulled him out together.
A few seconds later, Clark's head came out of the lake first, followed by Nicole. The two looked at each other, their faces flushed red, and turned their heads away.
Whoa! With his head out of the lake, Yale greedily took a few breaths of air, and said anxiously and quickly, "There's something wrong under the lake."
"I can tell." Nicole glanced at him angrily and covered her body subconsciously.
"The bottom of the lake is dry, and when I sank down, I touched the air!"
"Air!" The expressions of the other two became solemn.
The three swam ashore and changed their clothes. During this period, Yale discovered that Captain Nicole, who was usually careless, was secretive when changing clothes, which was really big news.
After getting dressed, the female knight found an iron chain, held one end in her hand, and tied the other end around Clark's waist:
"We have to find out what's going on at the bottom of the lake. Clark, you have the highest defense among us. After diving, if there is any danger, pull the chain tightly. If there is no danger, pull it lightly twice, and there is no movement for more than 30 seconds. , we will respond immediately.”
"Understood." Clark agreed with an inexplicable guilt, and immediately ignited his vindictiveness, using his sword to solidify, becoming a giant in armor covered in solid stone.
Jumping in place, the figure crossed an arc, and fell into the lake with a plop...
The two people on the shore also dived into the lake, leaning on the position near the bottom of the lake, and watched him sink into the mud. Soon after, the chain in his hand was lightly pulled twice.
Alei and Nicole looked at each other, let out a breath at the same time, pinched their noses and got into the mud together.
The stench and sticky mud squeezed the body and slid down along the suction and pulling force below. After a second or two, they felt gravity and air at the same time.
The body fell, and Clark below caught one by one.
Yale shook his head and took a closer look. The black silt floated above like a dome, emitting a stench. Underfoot was the semi-humid dark red land, scattered and half-covered with various animal bones.
Countless viscous mounds undulating all around were undulating, all the way to the far boundary.
Nicole picked up a skull of an unknown creature, followed the veins of the bones, and suddenly a sharp gleam like a sharp blade appeared in her pupils: "This is the skeleton of a Wham cub."
Picking up a skull of similar size and shape, Yale asked, "This one too?"
"That's right." The female knight replied clearly, and then pointed to the large and small bones on the surrounding ground:
"These are dead Vam, obviously related to the one we hunted."
Clark picked up a pinch of soil and sniffed it. A rotten smell rushed to his forehead. He frowned and said, "It's very likely that the so-called transfer phenomenon is also a scam."
"It's not just a transfer phenomenon, the existence of Desa Village itself is probably a scam." Nicole's pretty face was sullen, her clenched fists clucked.
"Shh!" Yale raised his index finger, closed his eyes to listen, and said categorically, "If there is movement, hide."
The three quickly covered their bodies with a large mound, and half a minute later, two people in black robes appeared in front of them. They pushed a cart covered with thick thatch and struggled forward.
click! The cart rested on a broken bone, and the two of them staggered and almost fell, and the thatch slipped a lot. One of them quickly supported the body of the car with his back.
In this brief moment, several apprentice knights behind the mound vaguely saw a pale white rough curved surface.
"You idiot, Gegu, be careful." Another person scolded and picked up the scattered thatch, covered it again, and struggled to hold up the cart: "Hurry up, before the Wham cub has transformed, hurry up and send it to the workshop If you stab the basket again, no one can protect you!"
"It's obviously because you don't have eyes, you have the face to blame me? If I hadn't reacted quickly, the cocoon would have been broken long ago. Let's wait for the skinning." The black-robed man named Gegu cursed back, walked to the back of the cart, Pushed up.
"Whose mistake was it last time? I suffered together?"
"Jerdu, shut up for me, or I'll cut out your other eye."
The axles rolled again, and the two of them scolded each other as they walked towards the east.
"Follow up!" The three knights slowly sneaked in the direction they were heading, a few dozen feet away.
