Chapter 458 Unusual Silence
"It seems a little unusual to be quiet around here."
Jiang You thought carefully.
"indeed."
Old Hu rubbed his chin.
The soil underfoot is soft and has a special aroma of grass and trees.
The road is not wide, and the width of the road for people to walk is similar to that in Changfen Valley.
The team stretched into a long line again, slowly moving forward.
"Silver Fish Lake, right? What's going on inside?"
Jiang You glanced curiously to the side.
The calm lake stretches as far as the eye can see, and the vast waterline is almost connected to the sky in the distance.
The size of Falling Star Lake is exaggerated.
This is just the first piece of water that everyone has entered. It has been six hours. If it weren't for the occasional changes in trees or plants in the distance, Jiang You would have thought that everyone was still standing still.
Lao Hu stared at the lake for a long time, "There are fish in the lake, and the silver is like silk. It has low pollution and is not strong. The meat is tender and elastic, and the raw food tastes great..."
"That shouldn't be the case. It stands to reason that the whitebait will attack enemies close to the shore. Our team is so large, they will definitely notice it, but so far not a single one has jumped out."
"Is this the hibernation period for whitebait?" Jiang You guessed.
"Pull them down, they don't hibernate."
Lao Hu rolled his eyes and said, "Try fishing with shadow."
"good."
Plop!
Shadows pierced the lake, Jiang You raised his hand, and water splashed everywhere.
"careful!"
The people behind him looked horrified.
The fish can be eaten, but the water cannot be touched.
On the road, a few unlucky ones slipped and fell directly into the water, where they were melted into slag in the blink of an eye.
Jiang You waved his hand again, and the shadow curtain enveloped the rising water splashes.
The other hand exerted force, and a large net composed of shadows was lifted up, and one plump whitebait was trapped in the net.
In appearance, it is somewhat similar to hairtail fish.
They were motionless at first, but the moment they left the lake, they began to struggle wildly.
The net was not big, and dozens of fish were caught. The force generated in that moment almost made Jiang You lose his hand.
"These guys are crazy."
Jiang You squeezed hard, and the shadows clung to them, knocking them unconscious.
He left two that were still conscious and handed them to Lao Hu, "Take a look. Is it the same as in your impression?"
"Exactly the same, just whitebait."
Lao Hu even took a bite with his upper teeth, sipped the taste with his tongue, and muttered, "This whitebait is a bit unusual today."
"It's better if there is no attack team."
Jiang You threw the fish to the team, "Everyone should share one fish among two or three people. Remember not to cook it, only eat it raw."
Fish and meat rained down on the crowd.
Jiang You followed suit and continued salvage.
The number of fish at the bottom of this lake is astonishing, and you can catch a large amount of them with just one net.
Moreover, as a mutated creature, the meat contains very rich energy, and ordinary people can be full in just a few mouthfuls.
After a while, without much effort, everyone started eating in advance.
Back at the top, his expression changed a little more.
"There's really a problem."
Jiang You spoke.
"What?" Lao Hu was squatting by the lake, stretching his neck and looking into the lake.
"The whitebait in the lake is either hibernating, not fainting, or just staying still."
Jiang You said, "All the fish seemed to be still. Even if I touched them with my net, they would not move. Only the moment they left the water did they start struggling desperately."
After listening, Lao Hu pondered for a moment, and there was even a bit of solemnity between his eyebrows. "There are many influencing factors such as strong enemies passing by and natural enemies hunting. Hurry as soon as possible to the next lake. There is a temporary resting place there."
"Let's go."
The team took a brief rest before Jiang You shouted again.
"Lao Hu, don't hide anything."
After walking for a few minutes, the boy slapped him in the face.
"It's not that I won't tell you. I'm also thinking about the specific situation."
Lao Hu's expression had been extremely solemn since just now.
Since entering Falling Star Lake, this section of the road has not encountered any danger, but Jiang You feels more tortured than the previous sections of walking.
He always felt that Lao Hu's expression seemed to be saying: "We are in trouble."
"I went back and asked them around. There is a situation of 'falling into a new lake' in Falling Star Lake. Occasionally, new stars fall down. If they hit the empty space, a new lake will be opened. If they hit the existing lake, a new lake will be created. Could cause a devastation.”
"In this case, all creatures in the lake will huddle up to conserve their energy."
After a pause, Lao Hu continued, "Apart from this, there are other terms such as 'forbidden lake' and 'struggle period'."
"What do you think?" Jiang You glanced at him.
"I don't think so."
Lao Hu shook his head and said, "I estimate that we will encounter at least two or three fifth-level animals along the way. In fact, there is not one. We only encountered a few attacks from different groups."
"It's not even a powerful alien group. It can be solved with just one hand. It's not normal, it's not normal at all."
really.
The current difficulty of evacuation seems to be similar to that of evacuation from a fallen area.
Totally unworthy of the horror of "The Abyss".
"Three possibilities."
"Certain races are fighting and summoning their dependents one after another. There are records that when the shadow family first rose, they took their younger brothers to declare war with other races. The battle spread widely and affected many races."
"The second possibility is the three-day replacement. The three black suns in the sky will fluctuate periodically, and the light they cast will affect the entire abyssal alien species. It may go crazy, it may evolve, everything is unknown."
Just as he was talking, changes began to appear in front of him.
Huge lotus pods appeared on the lake, and the entire water surface also had a gelatinous texture.
The rhizome is so thick that it can accommodate ten people surrounding it.
The green scene is full of life.
The scene is extremely magnificent.
"Lianpeng Lake!" Lao Hu was shocked. "Everyone should speed up their pace immediately. We can rest ahead..."
He went to various parts of the procession, beckoning people forward.
Not long after, we were getting closer and closer to the giant lotus pods.
"What did you say just now?" Lao Hu came back, "I just finished talking about the second possibility, the third possibility..."
"Old Hu." Jiang You poked him.
"What's wrong?" He turned his face sideways.
"The three-day replacement you mentioned, is this the current situation?"
Jiang You twitched the corners of his mouth, slowed down his breathing, and pointed his finger at the sky.
No way.
Lao Hu's breath was stagnant and he looked up into the sky little by little.
In the sky, a layer of mist appeared inexplicably around the quietly suspended sun.
Just like breathing.
The circle gently contracts, expands, contracts again, and expands again.
Also contracting were Old Hu's dull pupils.
"This situation... doesn't seem right."
Jiang You raised his hand, and a layer of fine goose bumps clearly appeared!
Looking back, there was a looming black sky.
"Everyone, run forward!!!"
Uncle Beard's voice rang in everyone's ears, and he didn't bother to explain.
He picked up Jiang You with one hand and Yu Yanxi with the other.
Without hesitation, he borrowed personal power and forcibly burst into fifth level speed!
The distance of several kilometers is almost instantaneous!
At the same moment, the black curtain also started to move!
