The lake was very deep.
But the lake water was as clear as a mirror.
Under the guidance of the crocodile emperor, Qin Feiyang and the young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House continued to sink.
The cool lake water made people happy.
Not long after.
Two people and one beast sank to the bottom of the lake.
At the bottom of the lake, thick mud was piled up. Looking around, there were no creatures.
If one was here alone, one would be afraid.
Because it was too quiet.
It was so quiet that it made one's hair stand.
Qin Feiyang scanned the surroundings and transmitted his voice, "Let's start searching!"
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House nodded.
But the crocodile emperor was careless along the way.
Time passed by slowly.
The crocodile emperor began to get impatient.
It looked at Qin Feiyang and the young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House and said, "Brothers and sisters, I have really searched below. I even dug three feet into the ground. I dare to guarantee with my life that there is nothing suspicious here."
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "If you don't want to, you can go up and wait for us."
"Okay, okay, okay. I will accompany you."
The crocodile emperor was helpless.
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House suddenly said, "Little crocodile, I want to ask you a few questions."
"What questions?"
The crocodile emperor was suspicious.
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House said, "Where did the water in this lake come from?"
"Nonsense."
"Of course, it accumulated when it rained."
The crocodile emperor said.
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House said, "Then let me ask you again. Has the water in this lake ever dried up?"
The crocodile emperor thought for a moment and shook its head, "No."
"No?"
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House frowned.
She was quite surprised.
"What's wrong?"
The crocodile emperor looked at her, puzzled.
"I heard from the Ant Emperor that it rarely rains here, right?"
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House did not answer but asked instead.
"Yes."
"It is common for it to rain once every few years or even decades."
The crocodile emperor nodded.
"That's right."
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House said, her eyes shining.
"What is right?"
"My dear sister, can you make it clear once and for all? You are making me very uncomfortable!"
The crocodile emperor was a little annoyed.
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House glanced at it and smiled, "It only rains once. Even if the temperature here is good, there will be signs of evaporation.."
"What do you mean?"
The crocodile emperor still did not understand.
Qin Feiyang began to ponder.
Traces of evaporation …
Suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House and the Crocodile Emperor and said, "Wait for me here. I'll go to the shore and take a look."
"There's no need to look. I've already observed it."
"On the shore of the lake, there are no other traces of water other than the water at the current level."
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix House said.
"You mean …"
Qin Feiyang was bewildered.
"That's right."
The young lady of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion nodded.
"Wait."
"Can you say something I can understand?"
"If you continue like this, I'm going to get angry!"
Emperor Crocodile roared.
Why did he sound like he was speaking in riddles?
The young lady of Longfeng House glanced at the Crocodile Emperor, then looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "You explain to it!"
After saying that, he turned around and continued his search.
"Speak!"
The Crocodile Emperor looked at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled. He said telepathically, "No matter where the water is, no matter what the weather is like, will it evaporate over time?"
"Yes."
The Crocodile Emperor said.
"After evaporation, will the water level decrease?"
Qin Feiyang asked again.
"That's right."
The Crocodile Emperor nodded.
"Isn't that right?"
"The water in this lake will also evaporate, and the water level will also decrease."
"After the water level decreases, there will definitely be traces of water left on the soil or rocks by the shore."
"But Ruoxue just said that she did not find any other traces of water on the shore."
"What does this mean?"
"It means that the water here has not evaporated."
"Is this phenomenon reasonable?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"It's not reasonable."
The Crocodile Emperor said without thinking.
But as soon as it finished speaking, it was stunned.
"I understand, I understand."
"You mean that the water here is not ordinary water. Even if the sun shines, it will not evaporate."
"Is that right?"
The Crocodile Emperor looked at the two of them.
The Miss of Longfeng House's face twitched. She shook her head and said, "This child is unteachable!"
Qin Feiyang was also helpless.
"Is it wrong?"
The Crocodile Emperor was suspicious.
"Of course it's wrong."
"Now we are in the water. Look at the water here and ordinary water. What's the difference?"
Qin Feiyang said.
The Crocodile Emperor glanced around the lake and shook its head. "I don't seem to find anything different."
"Nonsense."
"This is just ordinary water. What can you find?"
"What we mean is that the water here is indeed evaporating. But at the same time, there is water flowing into the lake."
"In other words."
"Whether it is wind or rain, or something else, the water in this lake has always been at the same level."
"And this is the reason why we are looking for it."
"As long as we understand this, the phenomenon of this mountain range will naturally be clear."
Qin Feiyang said.
"So that's how it is."
The Crocodile Emperor finally understood. It looked at the two of them and said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you make me spend so much effort to figure it out? So troublesome. "
Qin Feiyang and the Miss looked at each other helplessly.
This was a typical example of being all brawn and no brains.
However …
Although they found something unusual, Qin Feiyang did not find anything in the lake after an entire day of searching and even digging three feet into the ground like the Crocodile Emperor said.
Not only Qin Feiyang, but Ling Yunfei and the rest also came up empty-handed.
Time flew by and night fell.
Everyone returned to the shore one after another with their brows tightly knitted together.
Similarly, there were ten suns. The other places were dry and cracked. Not a single blade of grass grew. Only this place was full of vitality.
It was obviously impossible to say that there was nothing wrong with this place.
But where was the root of the problem?
Qin Feiyang looked up and scanned the lake. He looked rather irritated.
The night was getting darker.
Wisps of cool wind blew past, making everyone feel comfortable. But the worry in everyone's heart grew thicker.
Suddenly!
Qin Feiyang seemed to have noticed something. His gaze locked onto a certain spot on the right side of the lake with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
Everyone noticed Qin Feiyang's abnormality and looked over as well.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong.
The lush vegetation covered everything.
But upon closer inspection, everyone slowly realized that there seemed to be a gap there. It looked like a river channel connected to the lake.
The Crocodile Emperor also looked over and asked suspiciously, "Is there a problem?"
"What is that?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"That's the stream we saw around the Tree of Creation!"
"The stream not only traverses the entire plain, but also the entire mountain range."
The Crocodile Emperor said.
"Traverses the entire mountain range!"
When Qin Feiyang heard this, his gaze trembled slightly. He asked, "Where is the source of this stream?"
The Miss of the Dragon-Phoenix House said, "Feiyang, you mean this stream is the root of the problem?"
"That's right."
Qin Feiyang nodded and said, "Follow me."
With that, he rushed towards the stream.
Everyone looked at each other and quickly followed.
Very soon.
The group arrived at the stream.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand. The weeds and shrubs on both sides instantly turned into ashes. The full view of the stream immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Qin Feiyang scanned the water surface. After a long while, his eyes flashed and he said, "Observe the water surface carefully."
Everyone scanned the water surface.
The water surface was very calm. There was no flow at all.
But upon closer inspection, one would realize.
The water in the stream was quietly converging into the lake.
In other words.
It was the water from the stream that flowed into the lake continuously, causing the water level of the lake to remain on a line.
The Miss of the Dragon-Phoenix House's eyes gradually lit up. She asked, "Little crocodile, there is only one entrance to the stream. Does it connect to the lake?"
"There's another one over there."
The Crocodile Emperor pointed to the opposite bank where they were standing at the moment.
"Let's go and take a look."
Qin Feiyang said.
Under the lead of the Crocodile Emperor, the group quickly came to the mouth of the stream.
The mouth of the stream was also covered by lush weeds and shrubs. If one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to find.
Just like before, Qin Feiyang waved his hand and quickly removed the weeds and shrubs. He carefully observed the water surface.
The water surface here was also calm and without waves.
But after careful observation, they found that the mouth of the stream was also pouring water into the lake!
This undoubtedly confirmed Qin Feiyang's guess!
Usually, streams like this that were connected to the lake at both ends would flow in and out at the same time.
In other words.
The water was circulating.
But here, the two mouths of the stream were both pouring water into the lake. That meant that the stream had another source.
And the water in the lake came from the source of the stream!
Qin Feiyang turned to look at the Crocodile Emperor and asked, "Did you notice this detail before?"
"Not really."
"I always thought that the stream and the lake were circulating."
The Crocodile Emperor shook his head.
"This is your carelessness, you know?"
Qin Feiyang said.
The Crocodile Emperor smiled embarrassedly.
Qin Feiyang shook his head, looked at everyone, and said, "Now we will split into two groups."
"Me, Ruoshuang, and the Ant Emperor will go together."
"Ling Yunfei, Li Jian, you will go with the Crocodile Emperor."
"We will follow the two mouths of the streams and keep searching."
"Remember, don't miss out on any details. We must find the source of the stream."
"I have a hunch that we may find a great treasure this time."
Qin Feiyang transmitted his voice. His tone was filled with unconcealable excitement.
He let the Crocodile Emperor and Ling Yunfei go together. On the one hand, the Crocodile Emperor had armor. If Lu Xingchen was really hiding in the dark and wanted to harm them, they would have the ability to fight back.
On the other hand, Ling Yunfei also had a space treasure.
If the Crocodile Emperor couldn't defeat Lu Xingchen, there was still a way out, which was to enter the space treasure.
As for his team.
With the ancient castle, everyone's safety could be guaranteed.
"Alright."
Everyone nodded.
Qin Feiyang turned his head and glanced at the jungle in the night. His eyes flashed coldly, and he said, "Then let's go!"
Immediately.
The group of people split into two groups, cutting through the thorns and quickly disappeared into the mountains.
"You guys go ahead and search. I will wait to reap the benefits."
Not long after Qin Feiyang and the others disappeared, Lu Xingchen walked out from a dark place. He glanced at the two mouths of the streams and muttered to himself.
Immediately.
