Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix walked around the lake, but in the end, they didn't find anything.
The two children squatted by the lake and stared at the tranquil surface of the lake. It reflected the moonlight and looked extremely beautiful.
"Shouldn't we wait for daybreak to see?" Fire Phoenix asked.
"Then let's wait. It'll be daybreak soon." Ming Xi nodded. Daybreak was naturally easier to find.
"Did Huangfu Chen say that Ah Bu was picked up by the lake?" Fire Phoenix suddenly asked.
Ming Xi tilted his head to look at Fire Phoenix. His expression immediately brightened. "Other than this place, do you think a girl could climb such a high mountain?"
"But how did Ah Bu get here?" Fire Phoenix asked doubtfully. "She couldn't have fallen from the sky, right?"
"She can understand dragon roars. If she came from another continent …" Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix looked at each other. "Then there needs to be a gap."
Fire Phoenix suddenly stood up. "Yes, a gap!"
"If there's a gap, then there's spiritual energy. But we don't feel any." Ming Xi looked at the surrounding mountains. It didn't seem like there was a gap here.
"Let's go get Shang 'er." Fire Phoenix said that Shang 'er was a member of the dragon race. She wasn't restricted by the Great Gods, so her energy sea wasn't restricted.
Ming Xi glanced at Fire Phoenix. "You're also a divine beast. How can you be restricted?"
"Yes, I'm a divine beast …" Fire Phoenix paused. "But I don't feel the gap."
"Let's wait." Ming Xi held his chin and tried to sense the surrounding air. Even the slightest trace of spiritual energy would alert him.
"Let's go get Shang 'er. The dragon race is much stronger than us." Fire Phoenix said as she pulled Ming Xi back.
Ming Xi suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Fire Phoenix's wrist. "Fire Phoenix, what are you most afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid of anything … I'm only afraid of the City Lord." Fire Phoenix cried.
"Is it really just the City Lord?" Ming Xi walked around Fire Phoenix. "Where's the water? Can you go into the water? "
Fire Phoenix's expression changed slightly. "What a joke. How can I be afraid of water?"
"That's great. Let's go take a look at the bottom of the lake," Ming Xi said as he pointed at the lake.
"What?" Fire Phoenix shouted. "I'm not going. What's there to see in this lake?"
"Are you afraid of water?" Ming Xi asked with a smile. He pointed at the lake and said, "Did you notice that the water in this lake is alive? There are mountains all around here, so where does the water come from? Don't you find it strange?"
The Fire Phoenix flew into a rage out of humiliation. "So what if I'm afraid of water? Have you ever seen a fire that can still burn with water? Besides, you don't want this lake to have a spring underground. "
"That's not right. How many springs would there be in such a large lake? Even if there are springs, there must be a source of water. Let's go into the water and take a look." Ming Xi said.
"I'm not going," Flamephoenix shouted.
"You are a divine beast. The fire on your body cannot be extinguished by the water of the human world," said Ming Xi with a smile.
"Anyway, I just don't want to go down." He knew the water couldn't stop him, but it was in his nature to be afraid of water!
"Then wait for me here." Ming Xi took off his embroidered robe. "I'll go into the water and take a look."
Flamephoenix pulled him. "When did you learn to swim? Don't drown."
"You think everyone is you?" Ming Xi laughed and threw his robe to Flamephoenix. He jumped into the lake and swam as light as a fish.
"So what if you can swim!" Flamephoenix harrumphed.
Ming Xi revolved his Qi Sea and a layer of spiritual energy protected his body. The coldness of the lake could not invade his body.
This lake was much deeper than he had imagined. He had swum for so long without seeing the bottom. If it wasn't for his spiritual energy protecting his body, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the water pressure.
What was that? Ming Xi looked at the bottomless lake. There seemed to be something flashing. He swam over quickly. It seemed to be very close, but when he swam over, he realized that it was very far away. He grabbed onto the thing floating in the water. It was a piece of gold about the size of his palm. It looked … like a scale?
Rumble — —
A strange sound came from the bottom of the lake.
Ming Xi took out the luminous pearl to illuminate his surroundings. He looked down in astonishment and realized that the water at the bottom of the lake was swirling as if it wanted to suck everything in.
This lake … was even deeper than the sea! And why was there such a big hole?
Looking at the black hole that looked like a giant mouth, he felt a chill.
Ming Xi's body was being pulled down. He immediately turned around and swam upwards. However, the black hole behind him seemed to have a life of its own. It had already discovered his existence. The tornado-like water wrapped around Ming Xi's feet and pulled him towards the black hole.
What was that thing? Ming Xi swam upwards. If it was a gap, it shouldn't be like this.
The water at the bottom of the lake became faster and faster. Ming Xi felt his strength quickly draining away.
He endured the pain in his Qi Sea and used the Immortal Art. His spiritual energy was instantly depleted.
"Cough cough …" He choked on some water. His body was caught by a turbulent current and was quickly pulled into the black hole.
Was he going to die here? Ming Xi thought.
Suddenly, his hand was grabbed. A force pulled him out of the turbulent current and he quickly swam upwards.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally breathed in fresh air.
"Cough cough cough!" Ming Xi coughed out a few mouthfuls of water and gasped for air. "Why did you enter the water?"
"Are you alright? If I didn't enter the water, you would have died long ago. " Fire Phoenix was anxious. Ming Xi didn't know how much time had passed in the water. He had already waited for four hours. How could a person stay in the water for four hours? He could only suppress his fear and convince himself that this was the water of the human world. It couldn't hurt him, so he went in to save him.
Ming Xi shook his head and swam to the shore with Fire Phoenix. "The bottom of this lake is very scary. There's a big black hole below. It's not a gap, but something even scarier."
"Was it that big black hole that wanted to suck you in?" Fire Phoenix frowned. "I only saw a few streams of water surging up. Could the water in this lake be coming from the black hole?"
"It should be." Ming Xi was still afraid of the big black hole. "If we want to know more, we can only ask Jin 'er."
Fire Phoenix asked. "What do you think that big black hole is?"
"I don't know. Let's go back first and tell Father and Mother about this." Ming Xi panted and sneezed.
"If Yao Yao knew that you almost drowned in there, she would definitely beat you up." Fire Phoenix said in a bad mood. She used her sacred flame to dry Ming Xi's wet clothes. "Put on your clothes."
Ming Xi glanced at him. "Then don't say it."
"What are you holding in your hand?" Fire Phoenix noticed that Ming Xi had been holding a golden object in his hand.
"I saw it in the water." Ming Xi opened his hand. The golden object shone with a dazzling luster in the morning light.
Fire Phoenix's eyes widened in shock. "A mermaid's scale …"
