Chapter 4018: Deep Below

"I'll release my thoughts first and go to inquire about the situation. I'll return as soon as there are any results."

"Okay, be safe."

Although Chu Yang didn't doubt that Xie Ying was up to something, he had to be careful in everything he did in a strange place.

Chu Yang walked towards the lake and immediately pointed towards the lake. A faint ray of fluorescence flew out from his fingertips and then disappeared into the lake.

A cold feeling spread to Chu Yang's body, and it was pitch black below. After getting used to it for a while, Chu Yang could vaguely see the scene below the lake.

The overall scene below is convex. The uppermost part is a narrow lake, which becomes wider and wider as you go to the surrounding area. Chu Yang's thoughts can't be seen to the end, which is enough to witness how vast this lake is.

After confirming that there were no man-made formations or restrictions below, Chu Yang's thoughts returned to his main body.

"There is nothing weird or dangerous under the lake. You and I can go deep below."

Karen Gongsun did not hesitate.

"Hurry up and leave. You and I have been delayed for too long. If it's a little later, the elders and the others will return."

A layer of spiritual power wrapped around Chu Yang's body to prevent his clothes from getting wet in the lake water. Chu Yang and the others jumped down and began to look for the elders and others with broken bones below.

The first time he went deep into the lake, the coldness around him made Chu Yang shiver. Going deep under the lake with his thoughts and going deep into the lake with his body were two completely different feelings.

Both Chu Yang and Gongsun Qingyou noticed this immediately.

"No wonder the people of this tribe, regardless of age or sex, are extremely physically strong. If their bodies were not strong, they would turn into ice sculptures and cease to exist as soon as they penetrate deep below."

A small doubt that troubled Chu Yang was solved. The two of them had a preliminary understanding of the reason why the human body of the tribe here was so powerful.

“So where should you and I go next?”

Chu Yang glanced at Gongsun Qingyou with a complicated expression.

"Do you really think that I can do everything effortlessly? Who should I ask about this kind of thing? Let's take a walk around to see what's weird under the lake."

Adjusting his breathing slightly, Chu Yang continued to move forward with Gongsun Qingyou. The two of them had not separated yet, but their first task was to explore the surrounding environment.

As for the search for the elders and others, it was placed in the second place. It would be great if they were found successfully. If the operation failed, the two of them would not lose anything. At worst, they could just wait for a while until the clan leader of the tribe came out of seclusion.

"There seems to be something wrong with the situation ahead. I feel the strong smell of blood."

Looking across a reef, Chu Yang suddenly frowned, and in a dark corner not far ahead, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

There seemed to be a fierce battle ahead, and Chu Yang still didn't know whether the deceased was a monster living under the lake or a hunter in the tribe.

"Then go ahead and take a look. If the person who died is a tribesman, you and I may be in some trouble, so it's safest to go and investigate clearly."

"When did you become so cautious? This is not like the you I know."

Gongsun Qingyou glanced sideways at Chu Yang.

"According to what you said, I should act without any scruples and not care at all."

Listen to Gongsun Qingyou’s yin and yang

Tone, Chu Yang still did not reply.

The two people walked forward and came to the area with the strongest smell of blood. At this moment, both Chu Yang and Gongsun Qingyou had panic expressions on their faces.

"Interesting, the source of these bloody smells is neither from the human race nor from the demon race. It seems that this lake is more complicated than you and I imagined."

"It's better if it's not a human race, so you and I don't have to worry about being suspected by the people of this tribe."

"All that's left is to figure out the source of the bloody smell."

Chu Yang is still in a calm mood. The big battle here is either a monster or a hunter. Apart from these two possibilities, there will be no other options for the time being. If Chu Yang and the two of the hunting team can be found, This also eliminates some options.

Once these are figured out, it will be much easier for the two of them to find the source of the bloody smell.

After briefly exploring the surrounding environment, the two people left the place.

But not long after the two left, a strange aura appeared on the ground where they were passing. Countless strange and deep lines emerged from the ground, swallowing up the smell of blood around them, and then disappeared again.

Although Chu Yang did not feel any movement from behind at this moment, there was a weak warning coming from the Twelve Capital Gods Formation.

Chu Yang thought about the reason for the warning, and found that the only things that could cause changes in the formation were the places the two of them had experienced before.

He put this matter aside for the time being, ignored it, and began to search for the whereabouts of the hunting team. He would meet with them first, and the rest of the follow-up matters would be discussed after finding them.

The process of searching for the team was much simpler than Chu Yang and his colleagues imagined.

It was a lot of difficulties. This place was vast. Although the entrance was just a lake, the vastness of the world below surprised both Chu Yang and Chu Yang.

What's even more terrible is that although Chu Yang and the two are powerful, the environment below the lake is extremely cold and is eroding their bodies all the time.

The two of them had to use some strength to resist the cold around them and prevent their bodies from freezing into ice sculptures. If they continued to stay, they could last up to half a day before returning to the lake to ease themselves.

To be on the safe side, Chu Yang finally shortened the time to three hours.

"If there is still no discovery after half an hour, you and I will return to the top."

Chu Yang always felt that there were dangers hidden under the lake that the two had not discovered yet. If they continued to stay, there would be some unexpected changes that they would not expect.

It was this uneasiness that made Chu Yang dare not let go of his hands and feet under the lake, for fear of a slight accident.

Gongsun Qingyou was always responsible for guarding the surroundings to share some of the pressure for Chu Yang. In this case, the two of them worked together to contain the threat to the minimum.

Moreover, her physical training was far inferior to Chu Yang, and she had persisted here for a much shorter time. She had already consumed a lot of energy to persist until now.

"My current strength has dropped by 30%. After three hours, no matter what the result is, we must leave."

"If we really can't find any clues, then we can wait for the tribe leader to come out and negotiate a deal with the other party. There is no need to put you and me in danger and under threat all the time. Do you have any objections, fellow Taoist?"

"You are better at this kind of thing than me. You don't need to ask me what I think. Just do it according to your wishes. I will do my best to assist you."
