Shangguan Laner giggled and said confidently, "Of course I know. Your Senior Sister has done a lot of homework in advance. The place we're going to next is called Half Moon Lake. We have to walk two hundred miles to the north!"
"Half Moon Lake? If that's the case, then let's set off quickly … "Lin Yi immediately said.
If it was outside, two hundred miles was not a long distance for experts at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage like them. It wouldn't take them long to finish the journey. But in the outskirts of the back mountain, it was very difficult to say.
Hurrying through the dense forest was very troublesome, and the key was that danger lurked everywhere. If they were not careful, they would encounter some ferocious creatures. If something happened along the way, they might not be able to succeed even after a few days and nights. It was not impossible to lose their lives along the way.
After a whole day and night, Lin Yi appeared at the shore of Half Moon Lake with Shangguan Laner and Little Circle Bear.
The reason why it took so long, besides the fact that Lin Yi had taken the opportunity to collect elixirs along the way, was mainly because of Little Circle Bear. This little guy had cheaply plucked the tail feathers of an Oddity Sparrow midway.
Oddity Sparrows were very common creatures in the outskirts of the back mountain. Their individual strength was not too strong, basically between the Earth Rank and the Heaven Rank. They had a pair of sturdy, ostrich-like legs, but beautiful feathers that were not inferior to peacocks.
The Oddity Sparrow that Lin Yi and the others encountered on the way was probably because it often saw people. After sensing that Lin Yi and the others were not hostile, it actually swaggered around them in search of food. Thus, Little Circle Bear, under the bursting of curiosity, casually plucked a handful of feathers.
Then, a tragedy happened.
Although the Oddity Sparrow was a vegetarian bird, it treasured its feathers the most. The consequences of Little Circle Bear's cheaply plucking this time directly caused it to go berserk in an instant. Moreover, the Oddity Sparrow was a very strong social species. Provoking one of them was equivalent to provoking the whole flock!
One Odd Walker Sparrow was not scary, but what if there was a whole group of dozens or even hundreds of them? Even Lin Yi did not dare to say that he could withstand the attack of so many Odd Walker Sparrows. Moreover, in a place like the outskirts of the back mountain, once there was a commotion, the trouble would become more and more serious.
Fortunately, although the Odd Walker Sparrow was extremely fast, it had a weakness. It couldn't fly like other birds. Moreover, they couldn't climb up the tree. Lin Yi and the others squatted on the tree for a long time before they finally waited for the Odd Walker Sparrows to gradually disperse. Only then did they manage to escape unscathed.
But this action reminded Lin Yi of Yushu, and he couldn't help but sigh …
"Oh? Is this Half Moon Lake? It looks pretty good. The origin of Half Moon Lake should be because of its half-moon shape, right? "Looking at the scene before him, Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
"Not only that. I heard from grandpa that there are a lot of fluorescent creatures at the bottom of the lake. At night, it looks like a real half-moon from the sky. I heard that it's very beautiful! "Shangguan Laner said with a yearning look.
"Really? Then it's worth looking forward to. Speaking of which, can you tell us what we are looking for now? " Lin Yi asked. From the beginning, Shanghai Laner had been keeping him in suspense, and he still didn't know what Shanghai Laner's goal was.
"Do you see that super huge cedar tree in the middle of the lake? The thing I want is in the heart of the tree, little brother. " Little Junior Brother. "Shangguan Lan 'er smiled.
"Then let's not delay, let's go there now." Lin Yi's heart moved when he saw it, and he took a deep breath. He changed the topic.
The super huge cedar tree that Shanghai Laner pointed out was surrounded by the lake on all sides, but because this was Half Moon Lake, if he set out from the narrowest part, he only needed to skim over the lake surface for a dozen meters. For an expert in the early stage of Foundation Establishment Stage like him, it was not difficult.
However, Shanghai Laner said slowly, "Don't worry, little brother, you still don't know, although this Half Moon Lake looks beautiful and quiet, but grandpa said that the more beautiful things in the world are often more dangerous. If you are a little careless, you will die here."
"En?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. He had always been very confident in his own perception. In the periphery of the back mountain, he could also perceive the omnipresent danger in advance. He had avoided a lot of trouble along the way, but on the edge of this Half Moon Lake, he had never felt any signs of danger.
Until now, this Half Moon Lake gave Lin Yi only one impression, and that was that it was unexpectedly quiet.
If it was in the secular world, this tranquility would be a very rare enjoyment, but in this dangerous back mountain, if one carefully experienced it, it would instead make one's heart abnormally uneasy.
However, there were no powerful spirit beasts around, nor any other ordinary beasts. Within a few miles of the Half Moon Lake, it gave people the feeling that it was isolated from the back mountain, a pure land that stood aloof from worldly affairs. The degree of tranquility really made people feel a little strange.
However, as Shangguan Lan 'er had said, the more abnormal a place was, the more likely it was to have unexpected dangers. There might be some kind of extremely terrifying spirit beast hidden in the Half Moon Lake. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why there were no spirit beasts around.
"I have carefully done my homework. This Half Moon Lake, in the back mountain hall's danger level ranking, is one of the most dangerous places in the periphery of the back mountain. Countless experts have died here, even Gold Core stage experts do not dare to take it lightly. In the past, there have been precedents of Gold Core stage experts dying here." Shanghai Laner said while biting her finger.
"Gold Core stage expert?" Lin Yi suddenly jumped in fright, he had a premonition that this place was not ordinary, but he never thought that even Gold Core stage experts would fall for it!
Lin Yi had always been very confident in his own strength, so even when he encountered Nan Tianyong, a peak late stage Foundation Establishment expert, he did not give up on the idea of fighting, and in the end, he had the last laugh.
However, if the opponent was a Gold Core stage expert, even Lin Yi would not have any thoughts of contending against him, because the disparity in strength between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.
If even Gold Core stage experts were to fall here, then this Half Moon Lake was really not something that he, a peak early stage Foundation Establishment expert, could handle.
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that our chances of success are next to nothing?" Lin Yi asked with a frown.
If it was just him, then it would be fine. Even if he knew that there was a slim chance of survival, his unyielding character would still urge him to try. But now, he had Shanghai Laner and Xiao Quan Xiong with him.
