In fact, the Beinz Blood Lake did have unsettling energy. The locals' respect and fear for the lake was not entirely out of superstition. The lake affected the surrounding environment, shaping the Gnarled Grove and the Toxic Plain. Therefore, for the average person, diving into the depths of the Blood Lake was tantamount to courting death.
Hao Ren had also thought of this. So, before diving into the water, he had asked Nangong Wuyue to give it a try. The conclusion was that the siren maiden's control of the water was just as effective here. Nangong Wuyue could shield herself from the negative effects of the Blood Lake. Plus, they were all physically strong. That was why they dared to dive into the water. If an ordinary person like Becky was there, even with Wuyue's help, they would not be able to withstand the strange energy field at the bottom of the lake.
Wuyue quickly swam a lap in the lake, making sure that her water control was still effective here. Then, she called for everyone to dive into the water. Y'zaks boldly walked in front, Hao Ren followed closely behind, followed by a slightly hesitant Vivian. Wuyue's magical power controlled a considerable area of water. They did not have to worry about getting their clothes soaked and not being able to breathe. It was an interesting feeling no matter how many times it happened. Finally, Vivian craned her neck and called out to Lily. "Are you coming down or not? What are you doing? "
Lily was still squatting by the shore, the fluff on her ears and tail were standing on end. She was like a puppy that was afraid of water. She cautiously reached out her claws and dipped them into the water. She sounded like she was about to cry. "I don't like diving... I almost drowned when I fought with a submarine."
As it turned out, this was a person with psychological trauma.
Vivian was puzzled. "Why did you fight with a submarine?"
Lily continued to carefully dip her claws into the water and explained, "When I first went to the beach, I heard that there was delicious food in the water. I went down to catch fish and swam a little too far. As a result, I confused an American submarine with a shark. I went up and bit it. The propeller hit me and I lost a few teeth. That was the first time I saw a submarine."
"… Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and come down. Otherwise, you can wait on the shore." Vivian put her hands on her hips. "I'm not afraid of the water. What are you afraid of?"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes. As a vampire, Vivian ate garlic, drank holy water, wore a cross, and worked in a church. She even dared to fly more than two hundred miles into the mountains to dig for wild vegetables in broad daylight. How could someone as strong as her be afraid of water like other vampires?
Lily pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she closed her eyes and jumped into the lake.
Hao Ren watched as Lily fell headfirst into the shallows by the lake. While feeling the pain for her, he reminded her, "… I forgot to tell you, the water is shallow. Don't jump …"
Lily pulled her head out of the shallow water and paddled towards them. She cried, "So I have a grudge against water! There was enmity! There's a grudge! "
Hao Ren: "…"
Thanks to Lily's spirited demeanor, everyone was in a good mood (?). They turned around and dived towards the center of the lake.
The lake water was crimson. It was late at night. Not long after they dived, there was only endless darkness around them. Y 'zaks summoned an Inextinguishable Flame to float in front of them. This demonic flame would not extinguish even if it was frozen in ice for thousands of years. It emitted a bright light and improved their vision. But even with the flame leading the way, Hao Ren could only see blood red.
Wuyue's ability to control water allowed him to not feel the pressure of the water, but the endless red in his vision still made him feel depressed and annoyed. It was said that a large area of red could easily cause psychological agitation. He did not know how the rest of the team felt, but anyway, Hao Ren felt that it made sense.
Fortunately, he did not have to stay in this environment for too long. Wuyue pushed them forward with the water. They were moving very fast, and it would not take long before they reached the bottom of the lake.
"It's red everywhere, it's very uncomfortable." Wuyue swam in front, her long fishtail swaying. Her voice rang directly in everyone's ears. It turned out that Hao Ren was not the only one who felt uneasy about the red vision. "There's a strange feeling in the water, it's like … we're being watched by something."
"I don't think so." Hao Ren turned his head to see if there was anything in sight. "But this place is definitely creepy. I heard a story from a priest in the campsite. He said that every pope would die in the small church in the middle of the lake, but no one had ever seen their bodies. Those popes stayed in the church alone for a month, and then disappeared. The church said that they turned into holy bones to protect the holy land. Think about it, doesn't that mean they turned into corpses in the lake? "
Vivian quickly swam over and bumped into Hao Ren. "Are you disgusting?"
Then, the vampire maiden thought for a moment. "I think the color of the lake is not bad. It gives me the illusion that I can eat my fill in it. Anyway, it's quite appetizing."
Y 'zaks also laughed. "Actually, I also feel that this place is quite familiar. There's a lot of magma in my hometown, and it's also red."
Lily did not say a word from the moment she entered the water. She was completely immersed in the psychological trauma of fighting with the submarine. At first, she even subconsciously held her breath for a long time. Now, as she listened to the lively conversation, she could not help but doggy paddle next to Hao Ren. "Eh, is the color of the water really that bad? I don't feel anything just by looking at it … "
Vivian kept her distance from Lily. "You're color-blind okay? Have you forgotten that you're a husky? "
"So what if I'm color-blind?" Lily angrily charged at Vivian. "And even if I'm color-blind, I can still distinguish red! I just don't feel anything! "
Hao Ren quietly glanced at Lily. The way this maiden was making threatening gestures was a bit like a female dog's frenzy …
At that moment, he felt something squirming in his arms. He looked down and saw that it was Lil Pea. The little one was very excited when she entered the water. To prevent the little one from running away, Hao Ren kept her in his arms. Now, Lil Pea was protesting again. Hao Ren knew that a large part of the water was under Nangong Wuyue's control. He hesitated for a moment before letting the little mermaid go. "Don't go too far. The water is poisonous if you swim too far."
After Lil Pea broke free from Hao Ren's arms, she immediately spun a few times in the water excitedly. Then, she quickly wagged her tail and scuttled around the crowd like a little fish. She looked very excited. She did not seem to feel anything about the red lake. Lily excitedly chased after Lil Pea, trying to catch a fish. However, Lil Pea's naked tail prevented her from doing so. In the end, when the little one was tired, she did not return to Hao Ren's side. Instead, she leaned on Nangong Wuyue's side and gently wagged her tail as she followed Nangong Wuyue's movements.
Nangong Wuyue looked at the little mermaid behind her in surprise. "She actually knows how to hitch a ride in the water? Is this the talent of her race? "
Hao Ren sighed. "I think each of you has a unique talent. Before I met Lily, I never thought that anyone could swim so fast with a doggy paddle …"
Nangong Wuyue swam with Lil Pea for a while. Suddenly, she changed her body form. Suddenly, the golden-red mermaid tail turned into a three-meter-long snake tail.
At that moment, Lil Pea's outlook on life and the world was once again shaken.
The little mermaid froze in the water until she bumped into Hao Ren's chest. When she came to her senses, she began to twist her tail. Nangong Wuyue laughed so hard that she almost curled up into a ball. "No matter how hard you try, your tail won't grow longer. It's useless even if you pull it!"
Hao Ren sighed. He really could not understand the humor of these strange creatures, especially not the point of two fish competing to see whose tail was longer. Moreover, it was an adult fish that was more than a hundred years old competing with a little fish.
The world of monsters was just too f * cking deep.
Just like that, the journey to the Blood Lake was not boring. Finally, the team approached their destination, and a faint black shadow appeared at the edge of everyone's field of vision.
Nangong Wuyue's body trembled slightly. "There's … a strong magnetic field in the water?"
