[Chapter 2020 Mysterious Lake]
It seems that this small lake is formed by drops of water dripping from stalactites.
Dripping water wears through the rocks, and I don’t know how long it has existed here, so that the continuous dripping water drops have punched such a large depression out of the rocks on the ground, and formed a small lake.
The three of Xia Ruofei didn’t feel any danger here, but they still didn’t dare to take it lightly. Xia Ruofei has always maintained a state of divergent mental power, looking around while being cautious.
This stone cave is very quiet, except for the ding-dong sound of water droplets dripping on the lake every once in a while, there is basically no sound. The footsteps of the three people echo in the cave, and it feels very empty.
Xia Ruofei thought to himself: What is the chance that the senior copper coffin specifically pointed out this cave?
The interior of this cave is almost unobstructed, except for the stalactites and the small lake below, which is the jagged rock wall, nothing else can be seen.
And Xia Ruofei has also checked carefully with mental power, and there is no fluctuation in the formation here.
In addition, Xia Ruofei also carefully checked every inch of the place where there might be agency news, and found nothing abnormal.
In other words, the possibility of formations and institutions can basically be ruled out here.
Of course, unless this formation or mechanism can hide Xia Ruofei’s eyes.
Xia Ruofei took Song Wei and Ling Qingxue by his side, and began to check along the cave wall and around the small lake—sometimes spiritual power detection is not a panacea, especially in some places that may have hidden spiritual power. Where it is suppressed, the naked eye is more useful.
However, the three of them still didn’t find anything after turning around.
Xia Ruofei turned her attention to the small lake—since everything seemed normal, the only possible variable was this small lake.
In fact, when Xia Ruofei first entered this cave, he first focused on this lake.
However, he scanned it with mental strength and found that it seemed to be an ordinary lake, and there was nothing special about it, so he temporarily put it aside and checked the surrounding environment first.
Now that there are no clues around, Xia Ruofei naturally focused on this small lake again.
He checked the lake water carefully again, but still found nothing special, it felt like ordinary water.
However, when he wanted to investigate the situation at the bottom of the lake, he immediately felt a little abnormal—the suppression of mental power by this lake was beyond ordinary, and the mental power could not go deeper at all.
Xia Ruofei came to the spirit all of a sudden.
One must know that his mental power is already comparable to that of a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. With such a level of mental power, he cannot go directly to the bottom of the lake, which is very abnormal in itself.
Xia Ruofei didn’t increase his mental strength to forcibly investigate the situation at the bottom of the lake.
Instead, he continued to analyze the lake water.
The lake water looks very clear, colorless and odorless, and under the investigation of mental power, it does not show any unusual things.
If there is no problem with the lake water, then there is something at the bottom of the lake that suppresses the mental power.
But Xia Ruofei didn’t ignore the lake water directly, but checked it carefully again. Even if he didn’t see any abnormalities, Xia Ruofei didn’t take it lightly.
He thought for a while, and simply took a silver carp from the galloping river in the mountain and sea realm of the Lingtu space. Some freshwater organisms are also raised in it.
Xia Ruofei checked the lake water and knew it was fresh water, so he just got a freshwater fish to try.
With a thought in Xia Ruofei’s mind, he took the silver carp out of the Lingtu space and threw it directly into the small lake in front of him.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue couldn’t help being secretly surprised when they saw Xia Ruofei directly took out a live fish from the magic weapon of space.
They also know that magic weapons such as storage rings cannot store living things, even if live things are put in, they will die instantly.
But they are also used to Xia Ruofei repeatedly creating miracles, so they didn’t think too much about it. Maybe Xia Ruofei’s storage magic weapon is quite special, maybe he uses formations to protect these living things, after all, his level of formations is extremely high, in short, there are many possibilities, in their opinion, as long as Xia Ruofei thinks, there is no Things that can’t be done.
So they quickly turned their attention to this fish.
After entering the lake, the silver carp became extremely excited as if it had been injected with chicken blood. With a flick of its tail, it dived into the depths of the lake.
However, this silver carp hadn’t swum far, and everyone could still see it clearly through the water with naked eyes. At this moment, the silver carp suddenly exploded without warning…
because the silver carp hadn’t penetrated too deep , so when it exploded, the water surface also stirred up huge waves.
The explosion was so powerful that Xia Ruofei subconsciously protected Song Wei and Ling Qingxue, took a few steps back, and opened Yuanqi’s protective cover at the same time to prevent the splashed lake water from contaminating them.
Huge splashes of water splashed everywhere, and it really spread to the shore of the lake. However, Xia Ruofei’s vitality shield was relatively strong, and no trace of water vapor penetrated in, and everything was tightly blocked.
In fact, Xia Ruofei also feels that the lake water is not corrosive, otherwise it would be difficult to escape his mental investigation, but after all, he watched the silver carp explode in the water directly, so it is impossible for him not to be on guard against the lake water. If there is something wrong, it will be contaminated on herself or Song Weiling Qingxue, and then the body will suddenly explode.
The silver carp exploded so thoroughly that its whole body turned into a blood mist and scattered everywhere, almost covering the entire lake.
Xia Ruofei clearly saw that several lakes were stained red.
However, when the water spray fell and everything returned to calm, Xia Ruofei took a closer look and found that the lake water was still as clear as before, as if there was no trace of impurities.
All this seemed extremely strange.
The murderous intent contained in this calm made people tremble even more.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue were also frightened by the scene in front of them – they wanted to wash their faces by the lake just now, but seeing Xia Ruofei’s careful look, they gave up the idea.
If the two of them really went to the lake just now and came into contact with the lake water, I don’t know if they would turn into a blood mist like the silver carp just now.
When I think of this kind of thing, I will naturally be afraid for a while.
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly, his mental strength was unable to detect the situation at the bottom of the lake, and he could not confirm whether the sudden explosion of the silver carp was due to the lake itself or other factors.
Just because the mental power can’t detect the bottom of the lake, there may even be a powerful killing formation at the bottom of the lake. Whenever any living thing enters the water, the formation will be triggered, thus launching a fatal blow to the “intruder”.
I can only continue to explore.
Xia Ruofei ingested two fish from the river in the mountains and seas of Lingtu Space.
These two fish species are the same, both are silver carp, and their size and weight are similar.
He put one of the fish in a basin, and there was still some space for river water in it. He took the fish and the basin out of the space and carefully placed it by the lake.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Ruofei used his mental power to ingest some lake water from the air.
During this process, Xia Ruofei deliberately slowed down a bit, mainly to observe whether the lake water would have a corrosive effect on mental power.
But everything was calm, Xia Ruofei ingested the clear water, and his mental power was not affected at all, he held the lake steadily and slowly moved to the shore.
Without hesitation, Xia Ruofei directly added the lake water into the basin.
At the same time, he also threw another fish directly into the lake.
Then, Xia Ruofei stared at the front intently, and at the same time propped up the vitality shield, and took Song Wei and Ling Qingxue further back.
After a few breaths, the silver carp in the lake, like the one just now, exploded without warning.
Xia Ruofei, who had already retreated to a safe distance, remained motionless, which was also what he expected, and his attention was more on the silver carp in the basin by the lake bank.
The silver carp is still swimming freely in the basin, and there seems to be no abnormality.
Just when Xia Ruofei felt that the sudden explosion of the silver carp should have nothing to do with the lake water, the silver carp in the basin also burst without warning!
The power of this explosion was quite strong, and the plastic basin was directly blown to pieces. Naturally, the silver carp was dead without a whole body, and blood and flesh were splashed everywhere, and some of them even fell into the lake.
Then, the lake slowly returned to calm, and when the last rippling disappeared, the lake returned to the crystal clear state just now, and the flesh and blood of silver carp fried in the lake did not know where they went.
It seems that the lake itself is very dangerous!
Xia Ruofei turned his head and looked at Song Weiling Qingxue, and he also saw the shock in the eyes of the two confidante.
“This lake looks ordinary, but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful!” Ling Qingxue couldn’t help sighing.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue could naturally understand Xia Ruofei’s several attempts, and the conclusion was obvious.
Xia Ruofei nodded, and said: “Sometimes it is this seemingly peaceful place that often hides deadly murderous intentions. There are many dangerous places like this in the cultivation world, so you can’t take it lightly at any time.”
Song Wei looked at the murderous lake and asked, “Ruofei, what should we do now? Why don’t we go out! There’s no need to take this risk.”
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, “How can you enter Baoshan empty-handed?” And return? Not to mention, this lake water is also a rare treasure! If you release this lake water directly when fighting with the enemy, it will be a powerful weapon!”
“This lake water is so evil, don’t go there Touch it!” Ling Qingxue couldn’t help but said.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “Don’t worry! If a gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall, how could I risk my own life! I have a way to take away the lake water.”
Xia Ruofei’s method is very simple, that is to take the lake water into the Go to the spirit map space.
Although this method is simple, it is very practical.
And he also tried it just now, the lake water has no corrosive effect on mental power, and it can be ingested from the air.
Xia Ruofei went on to say: “But before collecting the lake water, we have to do a few more experiments, at least to find out the characteristics and power of the lake water!”
After finishing speaking, Xia Ruofei took some water from the Lingtu space that grows in the space river. There are various freshwater creatures, including soft-shelled turtles, eels and so on.
He installed each freshwater creature in a plastic basin separately, took the basins out of the space, and placed them neatly on the shore of the lake.
Xia Ruofei took out pots of lively fish and shrimps from the air like a traditional ancient color trick, but the ancient color trick needs a large cloth to cover it, Xia Ruofei doesn’t need it at all, With a thought, things appeared by the lake out of thin air.
Then, Xia Ruofei ingested different amounts of lake water with mental power, the most may be about a cup, and the least is only a drop.
He added these lake waters into the basins from left to right in order of how much they were.
These pots are already separated by a long distance, and Xia Ruofei added a protective shield of vitality to them to prevent them from affecting each other.
Then there is observation.
In just a few breaths, a turtle in the basin with the most lake water exploded without warning.
One second it was swimming leisurely in the basin, and the next second it suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Then, like a chain reaction, all the freshwater creatures in the basins exploded one by one.
Even the crucian carp in the basin that only dripped a drop of lake water finally burst.
Xia Ruofei nodded secretly, it seems that the power of this lake water is quite great, even if there is only a drop of lake water dripping on his body, the crucian carp still cannot escape the fate of exploding, it just takes a little longer.
This conclusion made Xia Ruofei very satisfied.
Imagine that in the process of fighting an enemy, you suddenly ingest an inconspicuous drop of water from the spiritual map space and throw it on the opponent, and then just sit and wait for the opponent to explode.
This is simply impossible to guard against.
Of course, at present, Xia Ruofei is only using some freshwater organisms for experiments, and has not used them directly on humans, so it is not sure whether the lake water can cause such lethality to human monks.
Naturally, Xia Ruofei would not really use people as experiments, but it is harmless to him. Anyway, if it really doesn’t work on people, then it’s a big deal not to use it! It’s just that I did some useless work this time, it’s no big deal.
After confirming that even a drop of the lowest dose of lake water can directly explode freshwater organisms, Xia Ruofei was very satisfied, and he also started to take the lake water away first.
Xia Ruofei released his mental power without hesitation, and then flew towards him directly holding the lake water.
Xia Ruofei turned around and said to Ling Qingxue and Song Wei: “If you step back a little bit, it’s not very safe to follow me.”
