Chapter 773

Things went through twists and turns. They should have saved people and left smoothly, but no one expected that there would be problems in Baili zhanxiong, so Zhang Yitian had to rush to the rescue.

Follow the direction of the bone etcher, chase all the way, and come to a forest near the ice lake. Here, the bone etcher refused to move forward any further. Sato's curse came from the front, "what's so terrible about you, you waste?"

Hearing the scolding, Zhang Yitian immediately stopped, looked around and determined the direction of the voice. As soon as he was about to take a step and sneak close, he heard a sound of hearing the cable behind him. His heart was alert, turned back to see him and was surprised: "how are you coming?"

It was Duanmu Xianyue who came here. Before, because she met a group of guards on the way to catch up with Sato, they were forced to break up. After such a long time, Duanmu Xianyue was extremely worried, but she didn't say it.

"I don't trust you alone, so come and help you." Duanmu Xianyue squatted down on the side, stared at Zhang Yitian, and then turned his eyes to the direction of the ice lake, "how's the situation?"

Zhang Yitian couldn't help but have a ripple in his heart. He took a deep breath, held back his palpitation and replied, "it's not clear. He's going to come forward to see what happened. You..."

"I'm with you." Duanmu Xianyue made a decision before Zhang Yitian finished. His eyes were very firm and he looked serious. Zhang Yitian couldn't help laughing. Although he covered up very well, he was found by Duanmu Xianyue. He looked at him and muttered, "why laugh? Try again!"

After coming to the foreign world for so long, Zhang Yitian was not Duanmu. Xianyue nodded, and then moved forward behind Zhang Yitian until he stopped in front of a bush outside the forest.

Not far ahead is the ice lake. At the moment, Sato is standing on the edge of the ice lake, and those bone etching insects hover in the air behind him. No matter how Sato drives them, the bone etching insects refuse to move closer.

A boat swaying on the lake floated towards the center of the lake. Bai Li zhanxiong was with two women on the boat, and his figure was gradually obscured by the thick fog shrouded on the lake.

"Bastard, come back quickly and give me back the saint..." on the shore, Sato jumped and shouted. It didn't help to let his anger smoke.

At the edge of the forest, they could see clearly that Baili zhanxiong was safe for the time being. Zhang Yitian made a gesture to retreat first, and then went around to the other side of the ice lake to meet Baili zhanxiong.

Duanmu Xianyue nodded knowingly and was about to turn around, but saw Sato suddenly fly with his sword, obviously to pursue.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Zhang Yitian quickly pulled Duanmu Xianyue, continued to squat in place, stared at Sato's back, and watched him catch up. At this time, the lake suddenly rose

There were ripples on the surface of the ice lake, but in the blink of an eye, bubbles began to pop up on the water surface. At first, the movement was very small, but then, it didn't take long for the lake to burst into a pot. The water surface was like boiling water, and the sound of grunts and grunts rang out one after another.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yitian was dumbfounded. He didn't know what had happened, but he felt uneasy and felt that something might happen.

Sato, who had just flown into the air, was also frightened. He almost didn't fall off the flying sword. When he stabilized his body and looked at the lake, the scene on the lake changed again

All the ice lotus floating on the water suddenly burst into white light, illuminating the whole lake as bright as a moon wheel.

"This..." the beautiful scene wiped out the palpitation in Sato's heart. He just stopped quietly in the air and forgot what to do.

Among all the people present, the most surprised one was Bai Li zhanxiong. Because he was closest to the lake, he felt different shocks.

At the same time, he was also the first person to wake up. The rolling water of the lake kept pounding the boat, so that the boat kept shaking and almost rolled into the lake.

At the critical moment, Baili zhanxiong couldn't care about anything. He threw out the flying sword, picked up two women and floated towards the flying sword. At this time, there was a sudden sound of water burst on the lake, followed by a whoosh

The water grass was like vines, which were ejected from the water and wrapped around Baili zhanxiong's feet and ankles. It was difficult for him to break free no matter how he struggled. In this moment of delay, several vines sprang out underwater, wrapped Baili zhanxiong firmly and dragged him towards the water.

In a hurry, Baili zhanxiong did his best to throw the two women in his arms to the flying sword, but he himself was dragged into the lake. A burst of water billowed and there was no movement.

"Lord Baili..." the servant girl was already frightened until she saw Baili zhanxiong dragged into the water with her own eyes. She woke up in panic and cried at the lake, while her body flew towards the flying sword involuntarily

Just as the master and servant were about to fall on the flying sword, there was another burst of water on the lake below. Countless dense water vines ran up like spirit snakes and wrapped around their ankles, dragging them towards the lake as if they had dragged Bai Li zhanxiong before.

Seeing this scene, Sato unexpectedly made an unexpected move, and unexpectedly the imperial envoy's flying sword rushed down at a lightning speed, with a fierce face trying to take people.

But the rattan in the water was quite dexterous and numerous. At the moment when Sato grabbed one of the Pearl Princess's slender hands, several rattan entangled his hands.

"Go away!" Sato screamed in horror, trying to break the water vines wrapped in his hands with brute force. However, he underestimated the toughness of these water vines.

The water rattan became more and more tight. Sato couldn't save people. He immediately panicked and struggled desperately, but it didn't work. Finally, he took himself in and was pulled into the ice lake with a pop.

The scene on the ice lake was so sudden that Zhang Yitian and Duanmu Xianyue didn't react. They both stared at the scene and didn't know how to react until everyone fell into the water.

"Master Zhang, now..." Duanmu Xianyue had no idea, so she had to look at Zhang Yitian.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Yitian said, "in order to find Mingxi childe, I entered the bottom of the lake. There are ice lotus vines everywhere under the water, which are densely covered with the bottom of the water. Moreover, there is a palace relic hidden at the bottom of the lake. If I expected it right, what happened just now is related to the palace at the bottom of the lake."

Duanmu Xianyue said, "when you went down, didn't these water vines attack you?"

Zhang Yitian shook his head slightly and said, "shuiteng is always very quiet. I didn't find anything unusual."

At this point in the analysis of the matter, there are two possibilities. Perhaps shuiteng is inherently aggressive. Anyone entering the lake will be attacked, while Zhang Yitian has not suffered an accident, which shows that the problem is related to himself. If so, we need to think about the reason.

Secondly, the aggressiveness of shuiteng is timely. Only at a certain time will the aggressiveness be stimulated. Zhang Yitian entered the lake and was not attacked because of good luck.

The two possibilities lingered in Zhang Yitian's mind, and Duanmu Xianyue gave the answer, "as far as I know, the reason why the ice lake is dangerous is that there are many monster activities in the forest. If you come here at ordinary times, you will encounter monsters in the forest, but because the officers and soldiers are here, the monsters should be driven elsewhere.

The second most dangerous place is the ice lake itself. I don't know how many lotus pickers die in the ice lake every year. According to the survivors, they are attacked by the water rattan in the lake. Once someone wanted to uproot the water rattan, but they all died in the water. After several times, no one dared to mention the elimination of the water rattan.

Since then, there has been a story among lotus collectors that there are water demons hidden in the ice lake. If you want to make a living here, you must worship the water demons, otherwise the water demons will come out and harm people's lives. Since then, lotus collectors will hold sacrifices every time they come to collect lotus. "

Hearing these words, Zhang Yitian was stunned and couldn't help laughing. He also thought of some things, such as Ross lake monster, Kanas Lake Monster, Bermuda water demon... These strange talk events endowed with mythological color.

On the earth, when ancient humans encountered such situations, it is entirely excusable to resolve disasters by sacrificing. After all, they are all mortals. They have no unparalleled cultivation. In case of things that are difficult to understand, they will resolve fears or disasters by sacrificing ghosts and gods.

There are many ways and names of sacrifice, which can be used for any natural and man-made disasters. For example, drought will pray for rain, flood will worship the Dragon King, and even some people drown in the river, they have to lay down three animal gifts to worship. This situation is similar to what Duanmu Xianyue said.

But this matter puzzled Zhang Yitian. After all, this is an alien continent. It is a very common thing to have accomplishments. Human understanding of ghosts is not the same as that of people on earth. At least it won't feel so terrible to hear this word. They will only treat this kind of thing as a small matter, and even don't bother to pay attention to it.

But at present, this situation is obviously inconsistent with Zhang Yitian's imagination. We still have to choose sacrifice to eliminate fear. It can be seen that the fear of ice lake is not a false name, but really makes people fear. Therefore, someone proposed to eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties by sacrifice.

"It seems that the problem lies with me!" Zhang Yitian didn't choose to cover it up, because so far, he didn't think why he swam a big circle in the water and didn't arouse the hostility of ice lotus roots.

"I think so. Can you think of the reason?" Duanmu Xianyue asked curiously.

Zhang Yitian glanced at the direction of the lake and said to himself, "at the beginning, I planned to go down directly, but I found that the temperature of the lake was freezing, so I ate a purple fire pill. I don't know whether it was related to the pill." this is the only answer he can think of so far.
