Chapter 1730 Strange Light
"Just a fruit?" The silver bead fruit was placed next to him. Bai Ziqi looked down at the ring on his hand, only to see the red light become brighter and flickering continuously.
“This is the product of divine power.”
Why do these fruits with magical powers appear in Qianhuan's illusion?
Right before everyone's eyes, the light of the silver bead fruit gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a plain yellow-skinned pear.
Villagers nearby said that this fruit is edible and quite sweet.
"They haven't used this silver bead fruit for experiments?"
"Since they can remember, the lake has been rich in these 'silver beads', and they have long been accustomed to them. But apart from the fact that they glow during the fifteenth day of the lunar month, there seems to be nothing special about them." Bai Shiqi said, "After being picked, they glow for a quarter of an hour, no more, no less."
A quarter of an hour? Bai Ziqi pondered. What can be done in a quarter of an hour?
Upside-down Lake, silver bead fruit.
What is the secret here? Huan Zong tried every means to lure the Tiangong team here. In addition to the endless tide of Yaksha, what other traps are waiting for them?
The immortal wouldn't think that these Yakshas alone can hold back the Heavenly Palace, right?
He looked at the shimmering lake and said, "Send some puppets into the water. I want to see what secrets are under the lake."
Most of the Yakshas were attracted by the Heavenly Palace to the northeast side of the Upside-down Lake. The bird demons flew a few circles just now and found that there were basically no traces of water ghosts on the southwest and northwest sides.
Bai Shiqi agreed and went to make the arrangements himself.
Soon, the bird demon flew to the southwest side of Upside-down Lake with a small bag in its mouth, then opened the bag and played a high-altitude throwing trick, pouring everything inside into the lake.
There were hundreds of water lice, which looked like both cockroaches and woodlice. Each one was smaller than a fingernail and seemed to have been dehydrated for a long time, frozen in place and motionless.
But as soon as they entered the water, they came alive and swelled up, then turned over, and with more than a dozen legs paddling together, they dived quickly to the bottom of the lake.
At the same time, its volume expands as it comes into contact with water until it becomes the size of a watermelon.
If Aunt Zhu saw it in person, she would probably recognize that this thing is called a giant isopod, which lives on the seabed and eats all kinds of carrion.
Of course, the Tiangong released them now not to invite them to dinner, but to investigate the situation at the bottom of the lake. The compound eyes of this monster are composed of 4,000 small flat eyes, which are very suitable for the dim underwater environment.
Another bird demon flew over, also grabbed a bag, and threw a dozen silver bead fruits into the water.
Several giant isopods swam over, each holding a silver bead fruit, and dived again.
Bai Ziqi was a little concerned about these silver bead fruits, so he made them a control group to see what effect the fruits would have if they were put into water.
About two quarters of an hour later, the experimental results came out:
There were silt, aquatic plants, shellfish and aquatic creatures at the bottom of the lake, and even some giant isopods were unfortunately encountered by Yakshas and were forked and eaten by them.
Apart from this, the bottom of Upside Down Lake is no different from other lake bottoms, and there are not even any holes or caves.
What about the silver bead fruit?
There was no other behavior after entering the water, and no changes were triggered until the light disappeared a quarter of an hour later.
As for the Yakshas, Bai Ziqi originally thought that they crawled out from the mud at the bottom of the lake. The giant isopod went over to test it and found that the bottom was solid and it could not dive down.
But they also saw the whole process of the Yaksha's appearance. It turned out that the blue dead soul first appeared on the leaves of the water plants at the bottom of the lake, like dewdrops after rain, but blue. Then the surrounding water rushed up, circled around it several times, and formed the body of the Yaksha with the lake mud!
The process is like making a clay figure, quick but casual, as if it was done effortlessly, because each Yaksha has a different appearance.
Bai Ziqi glanced at the lake. From his current angle, he could see the large rocks in the lake from afar.
He knew that there were eight words written on it:
Turn the world upside down.
There is no return.
What does this word “来” mean and where does it come from?
At this time, an urgent message came from the north, and Bai Shiqi passed it to Bai Ziqi:
"Thirteen miles away, a bright light suddenly appeared at the bottom of Yaozi Lake."
Yaozi Lake? Bai Ziqi became interested.
He had looked at the sand table and knew that Yaozi Lake was not far away to the northwest of Upside Down Sea.
It is a simple lake on land, and its area is small, but because it is fresh water, there are many houses around it. There are four towns around the lake, with a population of more than 5,000. Yu Village, where the Goddess Fenghe went, is also on the edge of Yaozi Lake.
"Send someone to investigate Yaozi Lake." Tonight, any abnormality must not be overlooked. "Ask the villagers what's going on with the lake."
Bai Shiqi went to ask questions.
The villagers’ reply was that as long as there is a moon in the sky, the algae at the bottom of Yaozi Lake will glow.
"Algae?"
"It is said that the bottom of Yaozi Lake is covered with algae. They absorb the moonlight and then release it, just like a bright moon shining on the bottom of the water. It is very bright. If people go boating on it, every detail under the water can be seen, and even fish and shrimp have nowhere to hide."
Bai Ziqi muttered to himself: "The glowing fruits on the shore of Upside Down Lake and the glowing algae at the bottom of Yaozi Lake. What is the connection between the two?"
Bai Shiqi said, "They are all related to moonlight, and they all grow near or under water."
But there are more than ten miles between them.
Bai Ziqi thought for a while and asked, "What else is so special about Yaozi Lake?"
"It's rich in fish, shrimps and crabs, and the water quality is very good, that's all." Bai Shiqi said, "The townspeople live by the water and have been fishing there for decades, but I haven't heard of anything strange happening, except for the occasional drowning. But they also said that drownings near the lake or the sea are normal, and happen every year."
Bai Ziqi pondered in silence.
……
He Lingchuan passed through the mirror and felt a chill again.
This time it was very accurate, and there was no transmission accident. The surrounding scenery blurred, and he appeared on the hill. The next second he saw his companions, several immortals, and the elite of the Illusion Sect.
Then he heard a commotion coming from below.
The bushes were dense around them. Elder Liu brushed away a handful of branches and pointed upwards to He Lingchuan, saying, "The demons have arrived and have just erected a lighthouse on Banqiu!"
This low hill is only twelve feet above the ground, and is located exactly in the middle of Yu Village and the mining area. On this side of the mountain is Yu Village, and on the other side is the spiritual mine vein.
That’s why it was named “Banqiu”, which means the low hill that accompanies Yucun for a long time. Of course, if the people of Yucun knew that the demon only built towers at high places, they would rather not have this companionship now.
The lighthouse is built at the highest point of Banqiu. From He Lingchuan's position, he can clearly see the Eye of Truth on the top of the tower.
After Miao Zhantian's previous adjustments, the initial coverage of the lighthouse became smaller, but it would grow taller and bigger quickly, and then wrap up Yu Village and the mine. By then, Haoyuan Golden Mirror would not be able to see what happened in the barrier, and the many rules of the Upside-Down Sea would not take effect in the barrier.
It will also be connected to the other two lighthouses, forming a large blind spot, so the Illusion Sect will never be able to tolerate it.
