Chapter 1741 The Secret of Yaozi Lake
The grey parrot flapped its wings and said, "You think that the thing related to Qian Huan is not the Upside-Down Lake, but this Kidney Lake?"
"We searched the bottom of Upside-Down Lake and brought the Silver Pearl Fruit down there, but we found nothing." Bai Ziqi continued, "Could it be because we searched the wrong place?"
"The villagers nearby always go fishing and diving in Yaozi Lake. Apart from the fact that it glows on moonlit nights, they haven't found anything strange. So we have to use special methods to get something when we go into the water." Bai Ziqi looked at the stars on the shore of Upside Down Lake, "Bring back a few giant isopods, pick some silver bead fruits from the shore of Upside Down Lake, and throw them into Yaozi Lake as soon as possible!"
He is the commander-in-chief, and when he says "as soon as possible", he means there should be no delay at all.
Bai Shiqi replied "yes" in awe and quickly went to pass on the order.
Soon, the three-headed isopod, holding the freshly picked silver bead fruit, crossed a distance of more than ten miles under the transportation of the demon bird and fell directly into Yaozi Lake!
Just like before, they flipped their shells and stretched their legs to dive deep into the lake.
The bird monsters were flying in the air, and their figures could be seen diving into the glowing algae, just like they were diving into a primeval forest.
Then there is no more then.
The magician standing next to Bai Ziqi suddenly opened his eyes and reported to him: "Master, my connection with the isopods has been cut off. I can't feel them."
"died?"
"It's possible, but they lost contact almost at the same time."
It’s good to see some unusual movements, as long as there is no unrest! Bai Ziqi couldn’t hide his excitement: “Release five more.”
Another five isopods were recruited to Yaozi Lake and went into the water with silver bead fruits in their arms.
After a few breaths, the entire army was still wiped out.
The bird demon that was hovering over Yaozi Lake and trying to collect intelligence quickly flew back and reported that it saw several isopods in front and behind diving into the water. The place suddenly became bright, and even the isopods and silver bead fruits disappeared.
Bai Ziqi stood up immediately: "Send one or two little demons to bring the silver bead fruit over, quickly!"
After all, the isopod is just a puppet and cannot act without the master's order. Bai Ziqi needs to know exactly what happened underwater!
The task was quickly assigned to a chameleon.
This thing is an amphibious monster with the ability to shrink. When it shrinks, it is like a gecko, and when it grows, it is like a saltwater crocodile. Considering the complex terrain and water body of the Upside Down Sea, Bai Ziqi brought it from the Shining Gold Plain, and it just came in handy at this time.
Bai Ziqi gave it the following command:
If you find any abnormality after entering the water, do not delay or act on your own, return and report immediately!
"Such a secret has been exposed to the mortals of Silver Pearl Island for many years, and they have not been able to find out." Bai Shi said to Bai Shiqi, "We all found clues as soon as the adults arrived."
Bai Ziqi glanced at him and said, "The silver bead fruit is not far from Yaozi Lake, only thirteen miles away, but the fruit can only glow for a quarter of an hour. A mortal cannot walk thirteen miles in a quarter of an hour, and would not think of throwing the glowing silver bead fruit into Yaozi Lake. This design was originally to prevent unrelated outsiders from accidentally discovering the secret of Yaozi Lake!"
Even if there are such people, they are a minority. A minority doesn’t matter. The Silver Pearl Islands are so large, how could there not be a few missing people every year?
Bai Ziqi was waiting for the little monster's reply and he hadn't been so anxious for a long time.
No one knew how long it had passed before the bird demon reappeared in everyone's sight, with the chameleon lizard still in its claws!
With a plop, the water lizard landed on Bai Ziqi's desk and bent over to salute him.
Bai Ziqi waved his hand and urged: "Tell me, what happened to you at the bottom of the lake?"
He had a hunch that this was going to be a remarkable discovery.
"I entered the water, my eyes lit up, and then I came out of the water again." The chameleon's words were plain and simple, without any embellishment. "I swam to the shore, where there were no Yashas, no you, and no barrier."
Bai Ziqi frowned: "Swim to the shore?"
"Everything I saw after I came out of the water was the same. I thought I had made a mistake and swam back to the surface. There was the moon, the trees, and the shoreline was exactly the same, except for the people." The chameleon continued, "I didn't dare to move forward, so I went back into the water holding the silver bead fruit, and then I came back here."
Exactly the same as here? It sounds like—
"The entrance, we finally found the entrance!" The grey parrot's voice rose three degrees. Bai Ziqi had never seen the God of Truth so excited. "Where it just went is the real world, the real Upside-Down Sea!"
This inconspicuous lake is actually the dividing line between reality and illusion, and the entrance from the fantasy world to reality!
"There is no such thing as an invincible formation in the world, and the same is true for the fantasy world. This is the law of nature. No matter how powerful Qianhuan is, the fantasy world it created using mirage magic will at least have an entrance and exit to reality, which is the life gate!" This is the most basic law, and even the True Immortal cannot disobey it. "All it can do is to carefully cover up this entrance, or make it rotate periodically."
"Or maybe both." Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered. "So Qian Huan used the Upside-Down Lake as a cover, and made the passing Silver Pearl Fruit grow by the Upside-Down Lake, which only shines for one night a month. This prevents living people from accidentally entering it?"
Qian Huan should know that the thing that is most lacking in this world is accidents. Even if you are an immortal, you can only try to reduce the probability of accidents.
No matter how secretly it conceals the entrance, someone may still get in under certain conditions.
So it added a few more conditions for passing.
"In the real world, Qianhuan is not so easy to stir up trouble." Miao Zhantian said, "Otherwise, it would not need to hide itself."
After the storm wall disappeared, the Tiangong team sailed into this sea area, and actually entered the illusion carefully created by Qianhuan.
From the beginning, the Illusion Sect was able to gain the response of the Illusion Realm at a very low cost and use its great magical power to severely damage the Heavenly Palace fleet. Until now, they still had to rely on Miaozhantian's lighthouse barrier, otherwise the thousands of people in the Heavenly Palace would have been worn out long ago.
Trying to deal with it in Qianhuan's fantasy world is like sailing against a waterfall. It would take three to five times more effort. The Heavenly Palace team seemed to be holding its own, but in fact, they were extremely exhausted after only persisting for less than two hours, and many of them were killed or wounded.
Bai Ziqi brought more than 3,000 people with him, but now there are less than 1,700 people left, even though he was fully commanding the army and trying to divide the enemy camp.
Even he found a battle of this difficulty extremely strenuous.
If we rush into the real world, Qian Huan will definitely not be that difficult to deal with.
But Bai Ziqi still had concerns: "The Illusion Sect Immortal must also know this entrance. He has never been able to summon Qianhuan, so that side must be extremely dangerous. I will send a few more people to explore the way and collect some information."
However, the people sent out this time never came back. Bai Ziqi calculated the time and found that they had been in the water for more than two quarters of an hour.
This was also within his guess: "It seems that once the light of the silver bead fruit is exhausted, they will not be able to come back."
He called the water lizard over and asked it a few more questions. The lizard said that there were no bright spots on the lakeside on the other side, but just ordinary woods under the moon.
"There are no shining silver bead fruits on that side." A silver bead fruit was picked and then sent to the Yaozi Lake. The journey also took time, and then it was thrown into the lake.
Bai Shiqi said at the side: "In other words, this trip is basically a one-way trip."
To travel to the other side of the world, you have to go ashore and explore, right?
A quarter of an hour is not enough.
Bai Qi was listening nearby and whispered, "Can the army get through? They need to reach Yaozi Lake within a quarter of an hour."
It takes 13 miles to run in a quarter of an hour. Bird monsters can go, and strong men who can fly high can also go, but the Heavenly Palace army has no horses and can only go on foot. Even with the blessing of a large-scale speeding magical power, time is very tight, not to mention that the Illusion Sect will definitely try to obstruct.
Bai Shiqi blurted out: "It's definitely too late to carry a single silver bead fruit. What if we cut down the tree and take it away?"
Bai Ziqi nodded at him, with some satisfaction in his eyes: "Good idea, go and try it."
Then, he said to the grey parrot, "Qian Huan's methods are unpredictable. Could this small lake be another trap of his? If the other side of Yaozi Lake is Qian Huan's hiding place, why would Huan Zong lead us to Yaozi Lake?"
The grey parrot smiled softly, "Even if this is an illusion, their power alone cannot stop you at sea forever. You will eventually land with your fleet, so you might as well choose a landing point that is most advantageous to them. Half of the casualties in your team were killed by the Yakshas in the Upside-Down Lake."
These monsters are endless, and leader-level Yakshas often land. It is obviously not cost-effective for the Tiangong team to fight against them with flesh and blood.
"Besides, you don't know the head of Huan Zong, Xiao Wencheng. He has his own calculations and is the kind of person who can do such a thing."
Bai Ziqi was slightly surprised: "You mean, he did it on purpose..."
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle, but he really didn't understand the ancient immortals - and he didn't have the conditions to understand them, because the other party always hid in the cave and didn't come out.
"In ancient times, Xiao Wencheng sacrificed his brothers and sisters, but that was to help Qian Huan kill the true god, so Qian Huan did not blame him, but rewarded him afterwards." Miao Zhantian said lightly, "Perhaps Xiao Wencheng has already figured it out. If the Huan Sect really can't deal with us, he will use our power to awaken Qian Huan! If you can't figure out a way to cross the lake by yourself, he might find a way to let you know."
But Huan Zong did not expect that the Heavenly Palace also had the trick of the lighthouse barrier. They covered the wounds caused by the two armies to the small cave with white cloth, covering it tightly.
Bai Ziqi pondered: "If we can obtain sufficient Xuanjing replenishment, I suggest that we proceed step by step and wipe out the Huan Sect first, and then go to Yaozi Lake to expose Qian Huan's true colors!"
The battle has reached a critical moment. To eliminate the Huan Zong is to eliminate Qianhuan Yuyi. Once it is alone, Tiangong and Miaozhantian will be able to deal with it more easily.
But this has a prerequisite, as Bai Ziqi said, "there is sufficient black crystal."
This depends on whether Goddess Fenghe and Wu Shidao can get enough black crystals!
Fighting for the Black Crystal means fighting for the initiative in this war.
