Chapter 967 Huge Whirlpool
After a while, the sun sank into the western mountains, leaving behind bright yellow clouds all over the sky.
Two figures flew out from Qiushui Villa, circled over Shimen Lake, and then headed west.
After traveling for more than thirty miles, we arrived at another large lake. "Brother Shi, this is Guan Lake."
Shi Feng stood on the flying sword, and as far as he could see, there was a vast expanse of water, with only some blue-black land exposed in the distance.
Cui Xiaoxian led the way, "Qianchi Pond is in the center of Guan Lake. It was originally sandwiched by three islands, which is easy to identify.
Unfortunately, the water rose so much that all three islands were submerged. "
Shi Feng looked around, "Oh, even the island is gone, so the water has risen quite a lot. It's strange, it's not the flood season, why is there such a raging water?"
“This is the weirdest thing about Guanhu Lake. During the flood season, the water does not rise. At that time, the three small islands are still above the water!
However, during the dry season, the water level rose sharply and submerged the island. The original area of Guanhu Lake was only two hundred miles, but now it is four to five hundred miles. "
"What's the point?"
"According to the analysis of the ancestors, the mausoleum at the bottom of the lake should have affected the spiritual veins and caused chaos. It is precisely because of this that the ancestors were worried about the destruction of the mausoleum, so they rushed to enter."
"The spiritual energy is disordered? How can you see it?"
"Hey, Brother Shi, you'll know if you go over and take a look..."
Shi Feng was very curious and went on another journey. At this time, the sky was not completely dark yet, and he saw a huge whirlpool appearing on the lake in the distance.
The closer you get, the more spectacular it becomes. All the waters within a radius of more than ten miles were stirred, and they were circling rapidly!
The vortex in the center actually collapsed because the water flow was too fast, seven or eight feet lower than the surrounding level.
The outermost lake water was attracted and quickly sucked into the middle vortex, and the lake water behind was immediately replenished. For a moment, it was like thousands of horses galloping, and the roar of the waves was loud.
The two stood above the vortex. At this time, they could not hear each other at all and could only talk through sound transmission.
Shi Feng said in horror, "The power of heaven and earth is beyond the reach of human beings. This is the first time Shi has seen such a huge whirlpool. If it fell into it, no matter how hard the ship is, it would be torn into pieces in an instant."
"Normally there is no such scene in Thousand Feet Pond. It is only at this time of year that the underground spiritual veins burst out, forming a whirlpool. It is precisely because of this whirlpool that it attracts all the water from the Yangtze River Estuary, causing the water level of Guan Lake to rise sharply!
At this time, Guanhu fishermen will stay away from Thousand Feet Pond, not to mention the middle of the whirlpool, which is ten miles away. Once they get close, they will be pulled in by the huge suction force, and more than a dozen people die every year. "
Shi Feng stared at the water and felt a trace of pure water spiritual energy permeate the water.
This spiritual vein can form a large vortex with a radius of ten miles, and its power can be imagined. No wonder both the Jianjian Villa and the Yandang Sect want to take Guan Lake as their own.
"This whirlpool keeps sucking water in from the lake, so where does all this water go?"
"Brother Shi, this is a good question! According to folklore, there is an evil dragon under Qianchi Pond, which was suppressed by the Jade Emperor. At this time of year, the evil dragon can poke its head out for air, and as he breathes, he forms This huge whirlpool, and those who were caught in the whirlpool were swallowed by the dragon."
"This kind of legend is not credible. Brother Cui, you have lived in Yicheng for generations. Have you ever found out the truth?"
"After checking, it is actually an explosion of spiritual energy, rushing up from the depths of the lake bottom, forming a spiritual energy vortex. The lake water is sucked in, and then discharged into the Yangtze River through the underground river below."
Shi Feng nodded, "Well, then, Brother Cui, how do we get down? Just jump down like this."
"That's right! With the help of the suction of the vortex, we can dive quickly and save a lot of effort.
However, it is a bit troublesome to get out. The suction force of this vortex is too strong, and even if you lean on the water, you will not be able to float.
At that time, we can only swim in the water for more than ten miles to the side, out of the scope of the whirlpool, and then surface again. "
Shi Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Cui, my kung fu in the water is just so-so. Everything depends on you."
Cui Xiaoxian took a look and saw that the sky had completely darkened and there was no one around.
"Brother Shi, without further ado, shall we go down now?"
"good!"
The two quickly put on the water support. The clothes covered the whole person, but they were not bulky. Their movements were as light and flexible as usual.
Cui Xiaoxian took out another purple gold treasure rope, tied it around his waist, and handed one end to Shi Feng, "Brother Shi, tie the treasure rope, otherwise the vortex will spin and we will be thrown to nowhere, and it will be difficult to reunite. "
"Brother Cui is thoughtful!"
Shi Feng tied the purple gold rope, tied it with two knots, stretched out his hand and pulled it, it was very strong.
"Brother Shi, are you ready?"
"alright."
"Then we'll go down."
The two put away their flying swords and fell from the air like two stones, landing on the lake.
As soon as it entered the water, it felt like it was grabbed by a big hand and turned quickly.
If a mortal came here, they would be knocked unconscious by this powerful force.
Cui Shi and the other two were Golden Core cultivators, so they were naturally different. They raised their protective shields to prevent them from being torn apart by the spiritual power, and at the same time allowed the vortex to pull the two of them into a sharp spiral and sink.
The Ruyi Water rests against the eyes with two pieces of transparent glass, which does not hinder the outside view.
However, the vision in the water was extremely poor. Even if Shi Feng concentrated his eyesight and added his spiritual consciousness, he could not see clearly.
In an instant, the two of them had sunk more than twenty feet.
Shi Feng suddenly noticed that dark rocks appeared around him.
Cui Xiaoxian had given him a detailed map of Thousand Feet Pond in advance. He remembered that this pond was sandwiched between three islands, so he thought these rocks were the original islands.
It took more than 20 feet to see the island, which means that during this flood season, the water level rose more than 20 feet. Not only were all the islands on the lake submerged in the water, but the surrounding land was also submerged, and countless people were displaced.
The water pulled the two people to spin rapidly, and the two were connected by the purple gold treasure rope, like a kite with a broken string, swinging to the east and west, and occasionally hitting the rocks on both sides.
Shi Feng was fine. His nameless body refining technique had reached the third floor, and he also practiced the Great Vajra Subduing Demon Technique. His physical body was strong, and hitting the rocks was just like scratching an itch.
However, Cui Xiaoxian was not a body refining practitioner. He hit several times and grimaced in pain.
Seeing this, Shi Feng quickly tightened the purple gold treasure rope and pulled Cui Xiaoxian to his side. Whenever he was about to hit a rock, Shi Feng kicked over to protect Cui Xiaoxian.
However, the suction force of the water flow was too strong, and it was difficult for the two to keep their bodies steady. They were pulled upside down from time to time, spinning upside down, and it was very difficult to avoid the rocks.
When the two were in a panic and tried their best to keep their bodies steady. In the black tortoise bone, Long Er laughed and clapped his hands and sang, "Two toads with two mouths, jumped into the water with a splash, who knew that the water was boiling water, scalding the toads to turn over their bellies and kick their legs..."
Shi Feng shouted angrily, "Stop singing, or you can come out to help?"
Long Er waved his hands hurriedly, "Master, I am a fire dragon, not a water dragon, and I can't do anything in the water."
"Then shut up!"
After sinking about a hundred feet, the force of the vortex gradually slowed down, and the two gradually stabilized their bodies.
"Thank you, Brother Shi, I went to Qianchitan with my uncle once, but the vortex last time was not as strong as this time."
In the water, the two could not speak, and could only communicate by voice transmission.
Shi Feng replied, "You're welcome! I feel that although the vortex of the water has weakened a lot, the pressure is gradually increasing."
After sinking for another ten feet, the two people's bodies were completely frozen.
Although the vortex was still there, the water pressure was too strong, and the spiritual energy erupted, supporting the two people's bodies.
Shi Feng focused his eyes and could only see about ten feet around him.
The dark waters seemed to be filled with countless monsters and ghosts, rippling layer by layer, giving people great panic pressure.
The Ruyi Water Backrest has a light source, but Cui Xiaoxian did not dare to open it, for fear that the light would attract water monsters.
He took out a magic disk and began to locate. After a while, he waved to Shi Feng and swam to the left.
After swimming about a mile, Cui Xiaoxian activated the Ruyi Water Backrest.
The weight of this thin water backrest began to gradually increase, and the two continued to fall.
After diving for more than fifty feet, Shi Feng felt that the water pressure was getting stronger, and at this time the Ruyi Water Backrest of the two people was activated to the extreme, and they could not sink any more.
"How far is it to the bottom?"
"The magic disk shows that there are still about twenty feet to go."
