C696 Tianyi Disappearance
Qin Loong, who had fallen beside the black lake and had sensed it just now, had already returned to his original state.
After he got up, he set up a defensive stance and began to observe his current location carefully.
Above a large, dark lake, a white fog coiled around it.
This time, one could clearly feel that the giant rocks around the lake were so hard that they were almost comparable to spirit artifacts.
The temperature of the Lava Heart in Qin Loong's body became even hotter.
There was no need for Qin Loong to intentionally move his body, as waves after waves of unceasing warm current automatically spread towards Qin Loong's limbs and bones.
"Brother Qin, how are things over there?"
Old Lei's vigorous voice came out.
"Don't worry, there's nothing abnormal for now. It's about the same as when I used my spirit sense to scan the area just now. You guys stay here and wait for my news. I'll take a closer look at the situation."
After Qin Loong finished speaking, he immediately formed a layer of Lava Golden Armour and slowly walked to the lakeside.
The spirit energy gathered at the head of his head, ready to explore the surface of the lake, but Qin Loong surprisingly discovered that this time, not only was it the same as the white mist, it seemed to have touched a wall and bounced back.
If not for the fact that Qin Loong's mental energy was stronger than ordinary cultivators, it was possible that with just that one strike, his mental energy would have been damaged.
Because they had been participating in China Sword Competition Competition this whole time, and had the protection of a few Innate Rankers like Zhan Tian, they were practically completely safe.
Furthermore, Qin Loong was determined to rely on his own ability to increase the strength of the cultivation level, so he had not sought Tian Yi's help in this period of time.
But the situation now was getting weirder and weirder, and the most crucial part was that Old Lei did not have any clues either.
After going through so many trials and tribulations together, Qin Loong and Lei Shan were like brothers now. At this time, they naturally could not care about their previous determination, and hurriedly asked in their hearts: "Tianyi, what's the situation inside?"
However, Tianyi, who had always responded with a question, did not answer.
"Tianyi?"
Still no sound.
After a few more interrogations, Qin Loong finally had no choice but to admit an inconceivable fact — — Tianyi had gone missing!
"This is going to be troublesome!"
Qin Loong did not have time to ponder over why Tian Yi had suddenly gone missing, nor how a person like Tian Yi had gone missing. He only thought that he did not have his last trump card left.
However, even Qin Loong himself was rather surprised that he actually accepted this fact so easily. Moreover, he quickly calmed himself down and began to quickly think of the countermeasures.
"It seems like this problem is either on the surface of the lake or something in the lake. Then …"
As Qin Loong thought of this, his right hand held up his sword fingers, ready to plunge them into the lake to test the waters.
However, just as he was about to insert his sword, he thought for a moment and retracted his sword. A half meter long Golden Spirit Qi Blade quickly appeared on his finger and stabbed into the lake again.
Zizi ~ ~
When the Golden Spirit Qi Blade stabbed into the lake water, it actually corroded, and let out a sizzling sound before quickly melting. The corrosive power even tried to spread towards Qin Loong's finger.
Qin Loong quickly flicked the Golden Spirit Qi Blade and he could not help but be shocked.
This lake could even corrode spiritual energy. If he had inserted his finger just now, he would have lost at least two of his fingers. He might even be affected by the corrosive power of the lake water and be forced to cut off one of his arms.
But when Qin Loong thought back to the state of the Golden Spirit Qi Blade, it seemed to only have been corroded, and not invaded by the cold Qi.
Qin Loong once again shot out a few strands of golden energy towards the lake surface, and started to carefully observe and feel it.
Sure enough, when the golden Qi came into contact with the lake surface, it was quickly corroded and melted away. However, it didn't show any signs of being forced or frozen by the cold Qi at all.
"The fragrance of the cold water is not emitted by the lake itself, but the black lake water also has corrosive properties."
Qin Loong thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion, "That means to say, there is something under the lake that can very possibly be a Heavenly Treasure that emit this cold air that is filled with a strange fragrance. "At the same time, the black lake water had an amazing corrosive power.
"How troublesome!"
Qin Loong could not help but sigh.
Forget about the black spots on the Silt Monster and Old Lei's body, in this world that was as white as a maze, there was a high chance that the source of the predicament was the strange treasure beneath the lake.
However, if he wanted to take care of that strange treasure, he had to first get past the lake.
"What should we do?"
Just as Qin Loong was worrying, at this time, when Lin heard that Qin Loong had been quiet for a long time, he couldn't help but ask about Qin Loong's situation.
Qin Loong told Old Lei and Lin what had just happened, along with his speculations, causing the two of them to uncontrollably suck in a breath of cold air.
The Silt Monster who first froze and then left behind a black spot on Old Lei and couldn't be killed, now it had even come to a black lake that could corrode spirit energy. What kind of place was this? How could there be so many strange situations?
When Old Lei heard that the situation was getting stranger and stranger, he immediately shouted to Qin Loong to not act rashly, while he swiftly thought of a countermeasure.
Qin Loong didn't have any good ideas so he could only do as Old Lei said and wait for Lin to think of a solution.
"Brother Loong, try to use your spiritual energy to fight with Old Lei. Let's see if we can temporarily disperse a gap in the cold fog. I'll take this opportunity to cast a technique and bring Old Lei to go and reconcile with you."
Using force wasn't enough, he could only try using brute force, Lin said to Qin Loong.
"Alright, let's try it. I'll count to three and we'll start at the same time."
Qin Loong replied and began using his Qi.
"One …" Two... Three! "
Just as Qin Loong finished saying the word "three", Qin Loong and Old Lei made their moves at the same time.
The majestic Golden Spirit Qi and the earthen yellow spiritual energy clashed in the air, causing violent energy waves. The impact caused the cold mist to tremble, and a hole that was more than a meter in diameter appeared.
"An opportunity!"
Seeing that the time had come, Lin used the Wind Controlling Technique on his right hand to cover himself and Old Lei. At the same time, his left hand formed a palm and shot out a Wind Spirit Cannon behind him, quickly pushing him and Old Lei in Qin Loong's direction.
"Success!" "What?"
For a moment, both Old Lei and Lin thought that they had succeeded, because they felt that they had already arrived at Qin Loong's location, so they had to shout out in joy.
But when they focused their eyes and saw that their surroundings were still a vast expanse of whiteness, they couldn't help but feel their hearts instantly go cold.
This time, he could not help but fail and even ran off to an unknown direction.
"Brother Qin!"
"Brother Loong!"
Old Lei and Lin Feng shouted out at the same time.1
But fortunately, Qin Loong's response came back quickly, as he felt it had traveled a bit further.
"Did you fail? It seems like you are even further away from me now? "
Qin Loong could naturally hear from their voices that it was very possible that they were running even further away from him.
