Xianyuan Farm

As night fell, the lights of the street lamps enveloped the entire street in a dim yellow.

Gu Hongyu, who was full of wine and food, was in a noisy bar at the moment. He came to the bar to find out all the news about the monster appearing in the ice lake according to the taxi driver's advice.

The bar business at night is quite good. In a relatively remote town like Siberia, Russia, the residents' entertainment life is very scarce. In addition to staying at home to watch TV or create the next generation, ordinary people generally flock to the few bars on the street.

The bars in the town are also quite strange. In the bar that Gu Hongyu chose, he could see some people drinking coffee, some people eating bread, some people eating sausages elegantly, and some people reading a newspaper quietly.

Here, the bar is no longer a simple bar. It is just a place for people to participate in gatherings or activities, just like the teahouse in the ancient town of China, where people are leisurely.

Gu Hongyu asked for a pint of rye beer and sat alone in a corner of the bar without anyone coming to disturb him.

A group of people sat around a bar not far from him, two of them were wearing uniforms that looked like policemen. The bartender enthusiastically handed them a drink each, and the people next to them were chatting with them.

They started by talking about some trivial matters of life, and soon their topic involved the strange things in the ice lake.

"Officer Clauser, there have been several murders in Zaduo Lake recently. I heard that your police station has mobilized all its forces. How come you still have time to go to the bar today? If the police chief knows about this, you must not confess!" asked a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat and almost shrinking his whole body in a thick cotton coat.

Before Clause could speak, the younger policeman rushed to say happily: "Haha, now this difficult matter has been taken over by the troops sent from above. We have gotten rid of this damn mission. Today, I went to the bar with Officer Clause to celebrate this matter."

"Ah, the place was taken over by someone else. Is this matter so serious?"

"Little Buller, tell everyone what happened there?"

""

Although others asked, the young Buller finally grinned and said nothing after looking at Clause's silent expression.

The people who couldn't get an answer turned their eyes to Clause himself, who said in a low voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You only need to know that the matter of the ice lake has not affected the normal life of our town. I'm sorry I can't tell you anything else."

After listening to Officer Clause's words, the others did not show any relief on their faces.

Because from this passage, Clauser has told others too much information, "It will not affect the daily life of the town for the time being." The straight-line distance between this town and the Ice Lake is more than ten kilometers. If the other party only said that it will not affect it for the time being, then if the troops cannot handle it well, wouldn't the residents of this town have to evacuate!

The others and the two policemen fell into silence.

Clauser drank the drink in the glass and left the bar directly. Seeing this, the young policeman Buller also drank the drink in the glass without hesitation. Even though he choked a few times, no one laughed at him. Soon, the figures of the two policemen disappeared in the street outside the bar.

Hearing the words that the police inadvertently revealed, Gu Hongyu was also surprised. Even the troops were dispatched and took over the defense of the Ice Lake. Then going to the Ice Lake, that is, Zaduo Lake, would bring many risks of exposure.

However, Gu Hongyu was even more speculative in his heart, what kind of secrets were hidden in Zaduo Lake?

After the police left, Gu Hongyu continued to sit in the bar. At this time, many residents in the town were dancing happily on the wooden platform in the middle of the bar. What disappointed Gu Hongyu was that he waited and waited but never heard any residents know the secret of Zaduo Lake. Even if someone talked about it, it was ambiguous and mostly rumors.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, people had left the bar one after another. A waiter walked towards Gu Hongyu's seat with a smile: "Hello, sir, our store is about to close, you see"

I don't care to say more, this is just to drive people away.

After coming out of the bar, Gu Hongyu decided to go to Zaduo Lake in person at night. He didn't even go back to the hotel. He ignored the cold night in Siberia and followed the road pointed out by a small town resident to Zaduo Lake where there were monsters.

The journey of more than ten kilometers took only about an hour with Gu Hongyu's agile physical fitness.

Just when Gu Hongyu arrived at his destination, there were a few tents standing by the lake in front of him. There were bright lights in the tents, and he could hear people talking in the tents.

It seemed that he had to stay up all night to guard the camp. Not only that, not long after Gu Hongyu lurked, a team of fully armed soldiers approached the camp from the distance of the lake shore with flashlights. After they entered the tent, the soldiers who had been resting came out of the tent and pressed towards Gu Hongyu.

Damn, these people were actually changing guards and patrolling.

Isn't this a defensive measure before facing a big enemy? I didn't expect it to be used in the defense of Zaduo Lake. It seems that something unusual happened in the ice lake, but Gu Hongyu didn't know anything about it.

Easily avoiding the patrol of the soldiers, the old monster's voice sounded next to Gu Hongyu at this moment: "Boy, we are right, there must be your fragments here!"

Gu Hongyu asked excitedly: "Master, have you sensed the breath of the fragments?"

The old monster replied: "No, but I sensed the spiritual power fluctuations of the ancient formation under this ice lake. This situation will only happen when the energy of the formation leaks, just like the formation of the spiritual plane near your home."

"Then how can you determine that my fragments will be left here?" Gu Hongyu said a little disappointed.

The old monster laughed: "Think about what happened to the fifth fragment you found in the ocean. The fairy source fragment itself is a treasure. This kind of thing can be sensed by ancient warriors now, not to mention the ancient spiritual creatures. Anyone who encounters it will treasure it, so this is also the reason why it is difficult to collect fragments. I don’t know how you met us. Otherwise, if you can collect four or five pieces in this life, you can be happy!"

Seeing that Gu Hongyu’s expression improved, the old monster continued: "Now follow the path I indicated. There should be other good things under this ice lake. It’s not easy to come here. Let’s see what makes the little guy inside so restless." To be continued.
