Chapter 628 Is there a sea beneath the grassland?
The golden-feathered bird let out a long cry and swooped down.
The crowd was instantly excited, letting out screams and feeling exhilarated.
"Those brats."
Zhong Zhihong laughed and cursed, but the smile on his face also showed that he was in a very good mood.
There were many small animals drinking water by the lake. When they saw a large bird swooping down, they were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.
Some even foolishly fell right into the lake, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Ah Sheng, would you like some meat? How about we have a whole roasted lamb feast?"
Ah Sheng thought to himself, "This meat must not taste good."
But he changed his mind before he could say it; if there was meat, why not eat it?
"Okay, I'll go catch the sheep." He jumped down first. Because it was still quite high, the golden-feathered bird swayed and let out a cry as he jumped.
He even trampled two deep holes in the grass.
Yun Tianyu, Lan Yuan, and the other young men laughed heartily and jumped down as well.
Then, one by one, they scattered and went hunting.
After landing, Zhong Ran and the others first looked around, then stared at the lake with a strange expression.
"This lake seems unusual; it's so deep that you can't see the bottom."
The lake water is so clear that you should be able to see the bottom.
But they couldn't see the bottom; it was a deep, dark abyss.
The river flows outwards from this point.
Lou Ying said softly, "There are rumors that this area was originally a sea, but for some reason it turned into a plain."
“Those undulating mountains were originally islands, so there aren’t many trees here. Even after nearly ten thousand years, there are still not many trees here.”
"I once heard that someone planted trees here, but for some reason, they never grew and only grass grew."
Zhong Ran and the others were dumbfounded. An entire sea area was filled in? What kind of supernatural power would that take to do?
"There are lakes not only here, but also occasionally in other places."
Lou Ying continued, "It's not just this lake that's bottomless; if you look closely at the waterways, they're all just as bottomless."
“Cultivators with water-elemental roots have gone down to explore, but none of them have come back up. Perhaps they came up from different locations, so no one has been able to unravel the secrets of this place yet.”
Zhong Ran felt a strange sensation rising in her heart, as if they were standing on a piece of duckweed, which could sink at any moment.
However, those who cultivate themselves are most fond of hearing about all sorts of secrets, and they also love to explore those secrets.
There's usually a reason for such a major change.
Just like Thunder Mountain, it also holds great secrets that others cannot understand, but perhaps these few people with great fortune will be able to figure them out?
"Rest well first, and don't think about anything for now."
When Zhong Ran saw Ah Sheng carrying two sheep in one hand and dragging a wild water buffalo with the other, she smiled and said something.
Let's eat and drink our fill first, then we can think about what comes next.
The others also caught a lot of wild animals. Since there were many of them, even if they couldn't finish them all, they could roast them and store them so they could eat them whenever they wanted.
Soon, everyone returned to this side of the lake and began to deal with the wild animals.
Zhong Yan then told them what Lou Ying had just said, which made everyone's blood boil.
Even if they can't uncover the real secret, it's still great to learn something from it.
"But I can't swim," Song Xiaoyan's voice rang out weakly.
Little Bei Jing chuckled and said, "Don't worry if you can't swim, I'll protect you from now on."
It's good to be back in the water. I wonder if she'll have a chance to escape that tall guy's control?
However, after so long, she had become familiar with everyone, and the urge to run away was not as strong as before.
It seems that living like this is fine.
Although the big, clumsy guy is fierce, he also loves to eat meat, as long as he doesn't eat her, it's fine.
Song Xiaoyan didn't know she was Xiao Bei Jing; everyone usually called her Xiao Bei, and she thought that was her name.
"Can you swim?"
"Of course, don't worry, you won't drown."
Yan Qin and Huang Qiuyin also gathered around. Huang Qiuyin had a top-grade water spirit root, so she was naturally not afraid.
Like Jin Wuchen, Yan Qin possessed top-grade golden spiritual roots, and their cultivation levels were not low, so they were not afraid to go into the sea.
"I can't swim either." It's true that I can't swim, but I can condense a spiritual energy shield, although it does consume too much spiritual energy.
Moreover, if it's truly deep sea, the pressure at the bottom would certainly be the greatest.
Zhong Xiaotong also came over and whispered, "Xiao Bei, I'm not very good at swimming either."
She does know a little bit, but that's about it. Staying underwater all the time definitely wouldn't work.
But to explore the secrets here, it's definitely not as simple as just swimming around once or twice.
Or rather, the area covered by swimming one or two laps would be too large for her to handle.
"Alright, you'll all follow me then."
Anling also came over, her voice almost trembling with tears.
"Xiao Bei, I have a fire elemental root and I'm most afraid of water. What should I do?"
Beckham: ...Is it that complicated?
"Here, wear this bead. It's waterproof."
This was her own private property. Zhong Ran had taken a lot of it back then, and although she was with Zhong Ran now, she was too embarrassed to ask Zhong Ran for it back.
"This is... a pearl? And such a high-quality pearl."
Anling was a discerning person. Once she got the pearl in her hands, she knew that it was at least a very old pearl.
The pearls are about the size of a pigeon egg, with a faint luster on them, making them exceptionally beautiful.
"Xiao Bei, how do you have such a good thing? Did you used to work in the sea?"
"Wait, your name is Xiao Bei, you're not some kind of shell spirit, are you?"
The three women exchanged glances and looked at her in shock.
They all knew that Xiao Bei seemed to be very afraid of Ah Sheng, but she was also trying very hard to please him. As for why, they didn't know.
They were also a little afraid of Ah Sheng. That big guy could kill someone with one punch. What if they accidentally got punched by him?
But Beckham's current behavior has given them some ideas.
Ah Sheng likes to eat meat.
Is Xiao Bei afraid of Ah Sheng because she's afraid he'll eat her? Is that why she's trying to please him and escape from his clutches?
The three women felt they might have discovered the truth and all looked at her.
Bai Zi walked over and asked with a light laugh, "What are you two talking about?"
Song Xiaoyan and An Ling both looked at Bai Zi. They only knew that Zhong Ran and the others had brought her back with them once when they came back.
As for her identity, no one would ask.
However, because Zhong Yan treated her very well and looked at her with doting eyes, they all thought that she had caught Zhong Yan's eye.
Now, they inexplicably feel that she must be no simple person either.
how to say?
At the auction, Bai Zi broke open the iron cage with her bare hands and rescued the tiger cub, who was very affectionate towards her.
Could it be that she is actually a transformed magical beast?
