Xianyuan Farm

The old monster's mental power was extremely strong, and all the obstacles set up by the soldiers seemed to be in vain under his induction. Gu Hongyu quickly avoided all patrols and explorations and smoothly got into a gap in the ice lake.

Lake Zaduo is really different from other lakes in the cold zone. For some reason, there is no liquid lake water under the ice. There are cracks and holes formed under the seemingly flat and quiet ice.

Compared to the cold temperature outside, it was actually very warm inside the hollow under the ice.

After adapting to the dark environment, the old monster also sensed the situation at the bottom of the lake without water. After confirming that there was no danger, Gu Hongyu continued to move forward slowly following the old monster's instructions.

The further inside he walked, the more surprised Gu Hongyu was. Although the old monster had said that there was no danger in this passage at the bottom of the lake, the surrounding environment had to make Gu Hongyu marvel at this magical nature.

The bottom of Lake Zhaduo is simply an ever-changing world of ice. The ice layer on top of them is as thin as tens of centimeters. According to Gu Hongyu's rough inspection, the thickness is at least more than two meters. Although the ice layer appears to be flat on the lake surface, , which may have been formed by subsequent rainfall or snowfall.

The real scene is that many ice layers have collapsed due to the hollowed out lake bottom. Many large broken ice blocks are stacked like giant rocks on the bottom of the lake. Some ice blocks are overlapped with each other, forming many large and small ice blocks underneath. There are different passages with gaps, and the largest passage can actually accommodate a car.

Although the bottom of the lake is silt, it has become very hard because of the low temperature. Among the silt that turned into frozen soil, Gu Hongyu actually found some shells growing at the bottom of the lake. They have slept deeply here and can no longer be seen. wake up.

Looking at this scene, Gu Hongyu couldn't help but think of a documentary he had watched, which described a scene in the story of Eskimos living in the Arctic Circle.

It is said that in the cold Arctic Circle, especially in the middle of winter, it is very difficult for Eskimos to eat fish when it is frozen for thousands of miles. However, they have another way to easily obtain seafood. That is because the Eskimos have mastered Understand the principles of local ocean tides.

The situation is very similar to Lake Zaduo where Gu Hongyu is now. There are also gaps in broken ice formed by the collapse of the waterfront under the lake.

Whenever the tide rises, the ice on the surface of the ocean will be held up by the sea water. When the tide recedes, the underground water of the ocean flows away, leaving only a lot of shellfish and fish that have no time to leave with the tide. The Eskimos took advantage of this. You can catch seafood under the ice under the regular tides and eat delicious seafood in the middle of winter.

"Boy, what are you thinking about?" When Gu Hongyu came back to his senses, he was hit hard on the head by the old monster.

Gu Hongyu rubbed the area where he was knocked: "Master, if you have anything to do, just say it. A gentleman talks but does not do anything."

The old monster said sarcastically: "I also said that I don't know how many times I have hinted you just now. You have to be careful on the next road. We are about to enter the range of activities of the creatures at the bottom of the lake."

Unknowingly, Gu Hongyu had descended several hundred meters at the bottom of the lake, but while going around inside, the straight-line distance was only about a few dozen meters.

Gu Hongyu, a creature that could remind old monsters to be careful, also cheered up, but when he continued to walk along the gap in the ice for dozens of meters, he still didn't find any movement.

Just when Gu Hongyu was about to ask the old monster, the old monster unexpectedly said through a voice transmission earlier than him: "Stop talking, we are getting closer and closer to that kind of creature."

Gu Hongyu also said: "Then why can't I feel it at all?"

"This kind of creature is not trivial. Its strength is on the same level as the Blue Bird and Yanfeng, and it is very good at hiding its aura. They are now in the ice not far from us." The old monster warned.

This time Gu Hongyu moved forward more carefully, and even used his true energy to act on his whole body to make his whole body lighter. While exuding spiritual power, he tested the surrounding ice and waited silently for a while while being so cautious. , I really found a shadow different from the surrounding ice in the ice about ten meters before the gap channel at the bottom of the lake.

You must know that the diameter of the detection range of Gu Hongyu's mental power can reach three kilometers. This can be done in noisy human society, but under this ice lake, he can barely detect creatures ten meters away from him. The other party is indeed very good at it. Hidden, maybe they can use the ice layer to block all the smells emitted!

"Boy, have you found any trace of the creature at the bottom of the lake?" The old man's voice came immediately after seeing the serious expression on Gu Hongyu's face.

It's nothing to make a fool of yourself in front of Master. Gu Hongyu asked nonchalantly: "Master, this creature is on the same level as Senior Blue Bird and Yanfeng. I heard it has harmed humans by the lake. How should we deal with it?"

The old weirdo chuckled: "Boy, aren't you quite smart? You were no match for Bluebird and Yanfeng before, but now they are staying in the space honestly. The temperament of these creatures is quite different. They are violent, but humans are not their favorite food, so I don’t understand why they would attack and harm humans.”

"Master, tell me, what are the names of the creatures hidden in the ice? Can you tell me?" Gu Hongyu asked.

"Their name in ancient times was ice salamanders, which are more ancient than the dinosaurs studied by modern people. However, with the dissipation of the spiritual energy of the ancestral star, these ice salamanders have also undergone great changes. I don't know if their abilities have been preserved. I'm afraid what I said before was a bit alarmist!" The old monster sighed and said.

Ice salamanders, living in this kind of frozen environment is really appropriate.

Listening to the old monster's explanation, Gu Hongyu took out the method of recruiting blue birds and fire phoenixes, and sprinkled some space spring water from the fairy source space in front of the lake bottom passage, and established a spiritual connection with the ice salamanders from a distance, giving them a kind consciousness, and quietly using the true energy in his hands. As long as he sees something wrong, he will start a contest immediately. If he can't win by himself, there are other spiritual beasts and wild beasts in the space!

The only thing that made Gu Hongyu a little worried was that if there was a fight at the bottom of the lake and the ice collapsed, the noise would definitely attract the surrounding soldiers, which would be detrimental to the continued exploration of the bottom of the lake.

The ice salamander not only had a strong ability to hide, but was also very good at detecting the surrounding atmosphere. When Gu Hongyu had just thrown the space spring water wrapped in mental power to a place five meters away from them, the other party broke through the ice very quickly, and those few meters away were just a flash. In an instant, it sucked the space spring water into its mouth, and then licked its tongue as if it was savoring it.

It was not until this time that Gu Hongyu saw the appearance of the ice salamander clearly. The other party was very similar to the dragon described in the West, but the whole body was not much bigger than that of a human, and it was more than two meters tall. It had a pair of symmetrical eyes on its head similar to an inverted triangle, and below it was a slender neck, and further down was a body covered with scales, a pair of small wings on both sides, and almost no tail. There was also a pair of strong claws under the body that could tightly grasp the frozen ground. To be continued.
