Chapter 488: The Unidentified Thing Under the Crater Lake
Leaving the Wind Canyon and walking northwest, the volcano is located more than ten kilometers away. You only need to pass through a forest and cross a big river, and the volcano is far away.
More than ten kilometers are not far away, and the foot trip lasts a day, and it only takes a few hours if there is a vehicle. Of course, this is without considering the presence of mutated creatures.
Because the extreme cold snap had just passed, the number of mutated creatures in the forest hadn't recovered to the previous level, and they were rare now, so Chen Fang and the others didn't encounter any trouble.
After spending one night in the forest, the next day the three of them walked out of the forest, crossed the river, and arrived at the foot of the volcano at noon.
This volcano is small in scale, with an altitude of more than a hundred meters. It has been quiet for a long time, and greenery can be seen on the mountain.
There was no way up the mountain. The three of Chen Fang found a place where the terrain was gentle and climbed up. They also encountered mutant creatures on the way, most of which were small mutant beasts. Normally, as long as they did not come to attack, Chen Fang They didn't even bother to pay attention.
It took more than three hours for Chen Fang to climb up the crater alone, and he saw a lake with green water rippling in the wind.
Looking at the lake, Chen Fang found himself in a difficult situation. To activate the furnace, he needed to absorb volcanic energy, which undoubtedly required him to dive to the bottom of the lake. He was a half-duck, and he was not afraid of holding his breath, but he was afraid that the lake was so deep that he would not be able to float up, which would be embarrassing.
"Should we wait until the two girls are in the bath?"
Chen Fang thought for a while and decided to go down to have a look. Maybe the lake is not deep, but if it is only about ten meters, he should still be able to solve it by himself.
So Chen Fang went down the slope of the crater, hacked to death a wet lizard that was trying to sneak up on him on the way, and after some effort came to the shore of the volcanic lake.
After moving his hands and feet on the shore a few times, Chen Fang took out the chick from his pocket and let it play by himself before jumping into the water.
In the water, Chen Fang supported the shore wall of the volcanic lake, adjusted his posture and sank slowly, while keeping his eyes open in the gradually darkening lake water to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
The water body in the volcanic lake is relatively clear, and there are no biological signs, and the bottom of the lake can’t be seen, it’s just darkness. Chen Fangfu is in the water and looks at the darkness below him as if it’s above an abyss. , I was a little scared for a while, and quickly floated to the surface of the water, lying on my back on the shore, panting.
Don't blame Chen Fang for being timid. After all, he didn't prepare well for the first time he went down, and he didn't know the specific situation in the crater lake. The bottom of the lake was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. In the silence, he was always thinking Frightening myself, and accumulating fear little by little, I naturally become less and less courageous.
After resting on the shore for a while, Chen Fang went into the water again, this time diving deeper than the last time, but in the end he couldn't resist the fear in his heart because his eyes couldn't see any light, so he chose to surface.
"If only there were lights."
What is the scariest, the unknown the scariest? No, it’s when you’re unknown, and it’s the scariest thing to make up for yourself.
You can’t see anything in the dark, and you always feel that something will come out to kill you, and you’re still in an environment that you’re not familiar with, and you can’t let go of your hands and feet. Unless you’re born stupid and bold, otherwise, the longer you go, the less safe you will be I can't stay still.
Imagine a person floating in the universe without any security on his body, and he can't even help himself to float, you will know what it feels like, just waiting to die.
Chen Fang, who was lying on his back by the lake trying to find a way, suddenly realized that he had night vision glasses, which could see things in the dark. When he escaped and was about to go down to the lake again, he heard Luoluo's voice.
"Master, are you done?"
Chen Fang sat up and saw the Luoluo sisters getting up from the hot spring.
I don't know if it's the hot spring just now, or his own illusion, but Chen Fang always feels that the skin of Luo Luo and Luo Luo is much more tender and fairer than before, and it almost reflects light under the sun.
"The hot spring is not bad. Your skin has become much whiter. I will go to soak in it later."
"Well, take a bath in hot water, and the mud on your body is easy to rub off. Master, you can try it later."
"..."
So it's not that the hot spring has a moisturizing effect, it's that you have enough old mud on your body, and the conditions for adventurers to eat and sleep in the open are not so good, it's not easy to take a serious bath.
"Master, are you finished?" Luoluo asked again.
"No, I'm not very good at water. It's deep and dark down there. I'm a little scared and haven't touched the bottom yet." Chen Fang said truthfully.
There is nothing to hide from my apprentice, fear is just fear, there is nothing to be ashamed to say, and it is even more ridiculous to insist.
"If you want to give us something, Luoluo and I are good at going down to help you finish, Master." Luoluo volunteered.
"It's very dark down there, it's useless for you to go down, I'll do it myself." Chen Fang said.
However, for the sake of courage and safety, Chen Fang took out a 100-meter-long rope from the back of the three-jumper and tied it around his waist, and handed one end to the twin sisters.
"Hold it and don't let go, Master's life is in your hands." Chen Fang seriously instructed.
"Yes."
The sisters nodded.
Chen Fang didn't say anything else, put on his glasses and dived down.
After getting into the water, Chen Fang dived all at once. This time, he didn't restrain his hands and feet like the previous few times. It may be because of a rope around his waist, glasses that can see through the dark, and twins on the shore, which kept him safe. Feelings have risen a lot and I am a lot braver.
Holding on to the cliffs of the crater lake, Chen Fang sank to an unprecedented depth. Through the glasses, Chen Fang saw a very strange scene at the bottom of the volcanic lake.
The tumbling magma is boiling, but it seems to be isolated by a glass wall, without any contact with the lake water. The two worlds of water and fire are very strange and amazing.
Although Chen Fang felt that there should be something insulated between the magma and the lake water, after all, if the two come into contact, air bubbles and heat flow would definitely be generated, but he didn't feel any changes in the water body, it was still cold, but considering that this world is not the same as Blue Star , Chen Fang didn't dare to be careless, he was still cautious and would rather spend more time than take it lightly.
After a while, before reaching the bottom, Chen Fang felt a little tight in his chest, his lungs were almost exhausted, and he didn't know how deep it was under his eyes. To be on the safe side, Chen Fang chose to float up for a change of air.
Chen Fang, who came out of the water, took a deep breath, and before Luo Luo and the two asked questions, he dived into the water again. After entering the water a few times, Chen Fang had already become a little watery, and this time he let go of his movements. , The dive was very fast, and soon reached the position just now, and continued to touch, at a distance of about five or six meters, Chen Fang touched the transparent object and felt warm at the same time.
Through visual inspection of the lava below, the thickness of this transparent layer is about one meter. Chen Fang couldn't figure out whether this incredible existence was natural or man-made.
If it is a natural thing, with Chen Fang's superficial wisdom, he has no idea what kind of situation it would be to form. If it is a man-made thing, it is very likely to be a creation of the mortal period of the Second Era.
But this is none of Chen Fang's business, he only thinks about how to light the furnace fire.
Do you want to punch holes in this thing?
