On the second day after the camp was built, Zhao Hai prepared to enter the lake. They didn't need to worry about the camp. The reason why they built the camp was to provide services to Zhao Hai. There was nothing else.
Nobody would dare to attack them here. This was because this was still the territory of the Zither Melody Sect, and they were all members of the Zither Melody Sect. What they did was even more shocking. In this case, they naturally wouldn't be attacked. If they were attacked, then it would be the doings of the Destroyer.
In fact, no matter which academy Zhao Hai's group went to, nobody would attack them. This was because what they were going to do was related to the entire Wen Ji Continent. In this case, the other academies would fully cooperate with Zhao Hai's group.
After eating breakfast, Zhao Hai glanced at the Ancient Bamboo Lake. Then he turned to Pu Li and said, "Mister Pu, I'll have to trouble the two of you this time. There must be more plants in the lake compared to the river. We might have to stay here for a longer time. Thank you for your hard work."
Pu Li waved his hand and said, "Mister, what are you talking about? What you're doing now is for the entire Soul World. It's our honor to cooperate with you. Don't say that."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he glanced at the Ancient Bamboo Lake and murmured, "Such a beautiful lake. I hope it can bless us and let us collect everything smoothly." After saying that, a shield appeared on Pu Li and Pu Li. The three of them slowly entered the lake.
After entering the lake, Zhao Hai immediately started his work. Just like when he was in the river, he observed every plant for a long time. At the same time, he also recorded more data.
In the beginning, Zhao Hai just observed from the lakeside. After a few months, he began to slowly enter the depths of the lake. After being stationed at the Ancient Bamboo Lake for half a year, Zhao Hai and the others had already gone several hundred meters into the lake. The water here was very deep.
Zhao Hai was now carefully observing a plant in the lake. This plant was also a kind of aquatic plant. However, this kind of aquatic plant was something that Zhao Hai had never seen before. This kind of aquatic plant was as thin as silk, but it was very long. Zhao Hai saw that the longest one was more than ten meters long. This made Zhao Hai very surprised.
One must know that aquatic plants weren't completely safe in the water. Although aquatic plants were very soft, the strength of the current wasn't small. If the plant was too long, it would easily break. However, this aquatic plant was actually more than ten meters long. Most importantly, this kind of aquatic plant wasn't rootless, it had roots. This made it even more rare.
Such a thin aquatic plant being able to grow this long underwater was really surprising. Zhao Hai wanted to know what use this aquatic plant had.
At this time, Gong Yu who was standing guard outside suddenly issued a warning. Zhao Hai and Pu Li stared. The two looked towards Gong Yu and saw that not far away from her, the water was churning. It seems like something was coming towards them.
Upon seeing this situation, Pu Li and Zhao Hai's complexion changed. Naturally, Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of these things in the lake. However, he couldn't show his strength right now. On the other hand, although Pu Li and Gong Yu could enter the water, they didn't have any fighting strength underwater. In this case, if they encountered something, then it would be troublesome.
At this time, a shadow slowly swam towards them from a distance. Zhao Hai looked at it and saw a big black fish. This fish was very frightening. It was about 15 meters long and had a waist as thick as a tank. Its eyes were like light bulbs, its teeth were sharp, and its body was covered in black scales. It looked just like an awe-inspiring armor. Zhao Hai looked at the fish.
When Zhao Hai saw this big fish, he knew that it wasn't easy to provoke it. Pu Li and Gong Yu's complexion also didn't look good. If they were on the ground, then not to mention this big fish, they wouldn't even be afraid of a hundred of them. But now, they were in the water. This was the home of this big fish. If they were to fight with this big fish, then they might not be able to gain any advantage.
Pu Li and Gong Yu's protective shield could only be used as a waterproof shield, it couldn't defend against other things. After the shield was formed, even if the small fish kept attacking it, it wouldn't take long for it to break, let alone such a big fish. It was precisely because of this that Pu Li and Gong Yu kept a lookout outside. They were afraid that something would break the shield and disturb Zhao Hai. But now that they saw this big fish, the two didn't have any confidence in dealing with it. Pu Li turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, let's go up. If we fight with this big fish in the water, I'm afraid that we'll have to waste a lot of our hands and feet."
What he said wasn't wrong. In order to save face, he deliberately said it in a relaxed manner. If they were to fight in the water, then they wouldn't be able to do anything to this big fish. This was because the attacks of the Scholar were more inclined towards energy attacks. And this energy attack would be greatly reduced in the water.
But this big fish seemed to have a thick skin, so it was very likely that ordinary attacks wouldn't have any effect on it. Zhao Hai looked at the big fish and said, "Let's hide behind the aquatic plants." The aquatic plants that Zhao Hai was talking about were naturally the ones that he was observing.
Pu Li and Gong Yu didn't say anything as they followed Zhao Hai and hid behind the aquatic plants. The aquatic plants were very long, so the three of them couldn't see them at all.
Zhao Hai stood there and looked at the big fish. The big fish circled around the aquatic plants for a while before it swam away.
After the big fish left, Zhao Hai and the others came out from behind the water plants. Pu Li let out a long breath and said, "I didn't think that there would be such a big fish in the lake. It seems like this fish is the overlord of the lake." Pu Li nodded and said.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Animals in the water generally don't have good eyesight. Since we have this shield, it should be able to block our scent. Therefore, it's normal for the big fish to be unable to see us. This lake is very big, so it's normal for there to be a few big fish. Let's not worry about it, as long as it doesn't come out, we'll just let it be."
Although this small incident happened today, everything else went smoothly. When night fell, Zhao Hai and the others came out of the lake, they didn't take this matter seriously.
The next day, when Zhao Hai and the others went to the bottom of the lake, they found that the big fish was still swimming. Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but frown. In the past few days, the big fish didn't appear. But now, it seems like it didn't want to leave. This made Zhao Hai puzzled.
Zhao Hai looked at the swimming figure of the big fish, then he said to Pu Li, "Something's not right. This big fish has been wandering around here for the past two days. It's very strange." Pu Li nodded and said, "What's wrong?
Pu Li nodded and said, "There's something wrong. This big fish didn't appear for nearly half a year, but it has been swimming around here recently. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it."
Zhao Hai looked at Pu Li and said, "Mister Pu, can we attack from the inside of the shield?"
Pu Li stared, then he said, "Attacking from the inside isn't a problem. But the water is blocking the attack. Even if we attack from the outside, we wouldn't be able to go far."
Zhao Hai looked at Pu Li and said, "Good, it's good that we can attack from the outside. Leave this big fish to me. My fighting style is different from that of the scholar, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to deal with it. Let's go, if it dares to attack us, then I'll slaughter it and turn it into fish soup." Then he took the lead, Pu Li and Gong Yu quickly followed.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others arrived next to the water plants that Zhao Hai was observing. The big fish was swimming not far from them, but it didn't attack them. It simply turned a blind eye to them.
When Zhao Hai saw the big fish's appearance, he didn't bother to pay attention to it and just continued with his work. However, Pu Li and Gong Yu were somewhat nervous. Whether it was Pu Li or Gong Yu, both of them were now paying attention to the big fish.
For the next few days, the big fish was still there. However, it didn't attack Zhao Hai and the others, it could even be said that it didn't even care about Zhao Hai's group. Pu Li and Gong Yu slowly got used to the existence of the big fish. Now, the two of them had one more thing to do every day, which was to use the big fish as a bet. They wanted to know why the big fish came here.
Zhao Hai didn't pay attention to the big fish, he was still observing the water plants. But what Pu Li and Gong Yu didn't know was that Zhao Hai had also been paying attention these days. He might even know why the big fish came here.
This was because Zhao Hai felt that the spiritual energy in the surroundings was getting stronger and stronger. This might be the reason why the big fish was attracted here. Spiritual energy was very rare in the Soul Realm. Before, Zhao Hai felt it in the bamboo sea, and today, he felt it in the lake. Moreover, he didn't feel it before, he only felt it recently. This made him feel that something was wrong.
Zhao Hai used his spiritual force to observe the surroundings, but he didn't find anything. However, what made Zhao Hai pay attention was that the water plants that he was observing had a trace of spiritual energy in the past few days. This was very strange.
In the following days, the spiritual energy in the lake became denser and denser. It even caught up with the density of spiritual energy in the outside world. This made Zhao Hai even more puzzled. At the same time, there were more and more animals around the lake. Zhao Hai and the others were no longer able to observe the water plants normally.
Zhao Hai and the others stood on the periphery of the lake. Looking at the various animals that were swimming around, their complexions weren't very good. Pu Li said, "What's going on? Why are there so many animals gathered here? This is very abnormal. Mister, do you feel anything? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Energy, I can feel a new type of energy here. This energy came out of nowhere. Moreover, it's a type of energy that I've never seen before. It's very strange. What kind of energy could it be?"
Pu Li stared, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Energy? There's a new energy here? But why can't I feel it? "
Zhao Hai replied, "I didn't feel it at first, but the plants did. These days, not only have I been observing the plants, I've also been communicating with them. I discovered that there's a very special energy inside the plants. This energy can be easily absorbed by the plants. The reason why the plants became like this is because of this energy. I think that the animals were also attracted by this energy." Zhao Hai nodded, "That's right. That's the reason why the plants became like this.
