PFC Chapter 655 The Strange Great Lake
Chapter 655 The Strange Great Lake
Swish swish~!
A series of whooshing sounds echoed through the air!
Soon, Cangnian and his group followed Ao Tian and saw a large lake with a wide expanse of water in the distance.
Upon arriving here, the Dragon Palace experts, led by Ao Tian, immediately felt much more at ease.
Although after evolving to the fifth rank, evolved creatures can fly and their environmental requirements are no longer so demanding.
But Ao Tian and his companions, who were originally aquatic creatures, felt refreshed and invigorated in the aquatic environment, just like a long-awaited rain after a drought.
"This lake is huge! It could easily accommodate some large creatures living here!"
Looking down at the shimmering lake below, Ao Tian said happily.
"Then let's investigate thoroughly a few times!"
This lake happens to be located in the area we are going to reclaim this time.
We need to make sure all the large quantities of Tier 4 and above are completely cleared out!
Seeing this, Cangnian nodded and continued.
Following the second spiritual energy revival tide, vast new realms appeared on the Earth's surface.
Moreover, judging from the sights I've seen along the way, even areas that existed before the second spiritual energy revival tide have undergone significant changes.
The mountains grew higher, the waters deeper, and the rivers wider, as if everything had grown larger.
In fact, these signs were already evident during the first spiritual energy resurgence tide.
It's like when a family is discovered in their original habitat and then moves to a new one.
On the night of the first spiritual energy revival tide, the river next to the habitat widened considerably. At that time, Yichen's little pickup truck fell into the river due to an earthquake, which led to their later reunion.
However, the changes at that time were not as intense as the second spiritual energy revival tide.
This large lake, with a radius of about 100 kilometers and a vast expanse of water, would have been considered one of the largest lakes in the Dragon Kingdom before the revival of spiritual energy.
After some discussion, Cangnian and his group dispersed on the water, each entering the water from a section of the lake shore to begin their exploration.
In the capital, there is a spiritual energy sensing device designed by Professor Shen, which can detect spiritual energy fluctuations within a radius of tens of kilometers. Even if one conceals their aura, it is difficult to escape detection.
However, this device is too large and easily damaged, so it can only be used as an urban defense early warning system.
Even though Cangnian said that the little sable's storage space could hold the spiritual energy sensing device and that he would be very careful when using it, the capital still refused to lend him a set of equipment.
This is why the capital city's expansion into new areas required a massive workforce, rather than relying on equipment for direct sensing.
As for Noah's side, the spiritual energy sensing array is also very large in scale, and it can only be found on the Ark.
With a spiritual energy sensing array, it can automatically fight the enemy together with attack arrays, defense arrays, trap arrays, and bewildering arrays. This is a relatively advanced technique in array formations, which Noah has not yet been able to fully understand.
He plunged into the water; it had been a long time since Cang Nian had been in the water, and he swam for a good while.
Tigers are one of the few felines that enjoy taking baths. They don't mind much when it's cold, but when the temperature rises, taking a bath is very comfortable for them.
"Hiss... Is this lake really that deep?"
However, after swimming for a while, Cangnian realized something was strange.
This lake is ridiculously deep!
Before the spiritual energy revival, the deepest lake in the Dragon Kingdom was only a few hundred meters deep.
After the second spiritual energy revival tide, the scale of rivers, lakes, and seas all became larger.
But Cang Nian remembers that when he was in the Yellow River, the depth was only five or six hundred meters.
Cang Nian dived into the lake for a while, reaching a depth of at least a thousand meters, but still did not reach the bottom.
Moreover, not only did it not reach the bottom, Cangnian summoned the Blood Pearl and looked down using its self-emitting blood-red glow, but he only saw that the blood-red light illuminated the surroundings, while the area below became increasingly red, almost pitch black.
Seeing this, Cangnian looked around again. One side was the lake shore he had been following, but now it was a straight, slightly concave arc.
However, this arc is pitted and uneven, covered with the marks left by time.
"Hiss... This doesn't look like a lake; it looks more like a deep well!"
Seeing this, Cangnian belatedly realized that the place where he had come down the lake shore was not a gentle slope like the normal entrance to a lake, but a steep rock wall!
"Could it be... that this is not natural, but man-made?"
Or perhaps, are they traces left by some ancient, intelligent life form?
Cangnian approached the underwater rock wall and scratched at the rough rock with his claws. The mud that fell from the rock made the lake water murky, and he couldn't help but speculate.
Although, before the spiritual energy revival, there were similar sinkhole landforms in the Dragon Kingdom.
But after a moment's recollection, Cangnian discovered that the shoreline of the lake was actually a fairly standard circle!
Would a natural landform form such a perfect circle?
After some thought, Cangnian first used telepathy to inform Tiger Dad and the others who were nearby about his discovery, and told them to go ashore and wait.
Then, he called the little sable over and had it follow him as he explored downwards.
This landscape clearly shows signs of human intervention, and we don't know what might happen; it could even be dangerous.
However, he felt itchy to explore it further.
I might as well let the little sable accompany me down to explore.
Even if something goes wrong, the little sable can use the spatial portal to quickly escape danger.
Even in the most critical situations, the little sable can use its ethereal ability to escape a fatal crisis with itself!
After meeting up with the little sable, the tiger and the sable began to dive down into the giant, deep well.
After an unknown amount of time, even though Cangnian had the Water Dragon skill to balance the internal and external air pressure, he was still feeling suffocated by the immense amount of water above him.
Even so, they still hadn't reached the bottom of this giant deep well.
It is conceivable that the depth of this giant deep well far exceeds the depth of the deep sea in the Bohai Sea region!
This made Cangnian even more curious about this place!
Such a bizarre situation almost completely eliminates the possibility of a natural sinkhole.
This is man-made!
Feeling the pressure on his body, Cang Nian silently activated his supernatural power to increase his defensive attributes.
Meanwhile, the little sable on the side seemed quite relaxed and content.
Because its fragile body could no longer withstand the external pressure, it directly used the ethereal skill to hide in the demiplane.
And so, they descended for a while longer. Just when Cang Nian felt that his body could no longer take it and was about to give up exploring, the blood-red light from the blood pearl made the blood-red below, which had turned pitch black, finally fade!
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian's spirits lifted!
Almost at the bottom!
