Chapter 213 – The King of Wind Erosion Lake

Uncle Ming is still hesitant, think Shirley Yang is a bit arbitrary, put the road not to go to climb that steep and tall green rock, Fatty and I know that Shirley Yang in this kind of thing has always been serious, never joke in this regard, since she is so anxious to let the group far away from the avoidance, it must have found the signs of danger, not to mention that I have been said by her has also been to see, that the road on the mountain, indeed, is Too smooth, there is not even a weed on it, it is definitely not a road for people to walk on.

Our position in the lake, from that smooth as a mirror road is very close, no matter from above rushed down what beasts, in the water can not resist, do not dare to think more about that mountain in the end there is something, and hastily pull Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang, hands and feet, swim to the left side of the lake side of a green rock.

Although this lake is densely covered with mountains, but not many places can go ashore, the only smooth abnormal road, the rest of the two sides can not see the top of the cliffs, in addition to the left side of a large piece of dark green rock, more than a dozen meters high, and want to climb up and have to make some effort.

We swim to the bottom of the green rock, just reached out to touch the cold stone wall, ears will hear the far end of the road on the mountain, also came a burst of gravel friction sound, as if there is something huge, is rapidly crawling out of the depths of the mountain forest, the crowd sank, listen to the sound came quickly, can use the body of the road to grind so smooth, not a giant python snake, is the “Dragon King crocodile! “a class of beasts inhabiting the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, no matter what, are enough for us to drink a pot of water, hurry to take the climbing picks hooked on the green rock to climb up.

But the green rock has a lot of moss, slope and steep, mountaineering pickaxe and should not be hand, Shirley Yang’s tiger claws and not too good to get in the backpack, had to look for a mountaineering rope to tie a rope circle, so that she learns in Texas, horse lassoing craft, will be the rope circle set in a protruding stone.

Look at Uncle Ming that hand is not at all like fifty years old, with an old ape, worthy of being at sea for many years of experience in the old sailor, escape to life than anyone else, dabbing a few times on the rope, grabbed the first to climb up the middle of the green rock of a natural platform, I and Fatty and Shirley Yang underneath the support of A Xiang, she pushed her to the upper side of the Uncle Ming reached out to pull A Xiang up.

Then assisted Shirley Yang climbed up the rock, this time the piece of rock that was set with the rope has been loose, fat man yanked even the rope with the rock are pulled into the water, and so Shirley Yang re-prepared the rope, I and fat man but heard behind the “clatter” a violent sound of entering the water, there is a thing has been from the mountains, jumped down, drilled into the lake, and the water was not there. Something had already jumped down from the mountain and drilled into the lake.

Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming from the rocks down climbing rope to meet us, Uncle Ming saw the monster in the water from a high place, he has always had a problem, may be the pre-signs of Parkinson’s Syndrome, a nervous hand shaking terribly, sooner or later to play the strings, no matter what is held in the hand, can not be firmly held, and at the moment is also the same, holding a rock wedge in the hand want to fasten it to a crevice in the rock, and suddenly overstressed, a let go of his hand, the rock nail fell into the water. The rock wedge fell into the water.

Fatty and I just grabbed the climbing rope in our hands, and were trying to use the force to go up, but I didn’t realize that before we had time to exert force, the whole mass of rope and rock nails fell down, and Fatty and I were so angry down there that we cursed Uncle Ming for being an Italian on our side, how could he be a net helper?

Shirley Yang wanted to get another rope but realized that it was too late, pointing to the water, she said to me, “Go to the underwater cavern to hide first.”

Fatty and I do not know what the monster from the water over, but certainly not to be messed with, and there is no room for manoeuvre, the guy was there in an instant, I had no choice but to close my breath and sank to the bottom of the lake, the lake is not deep, the lake water is crystal clear and transparent, underwater visibility is very much to the bottom of the water, the rocks underneath the water are white, and the bottom of the lake there are a number of seepage holes that are connected to the earth, and there are also a few deep recesses, which can be said to be the holes in the ground, the landscape here, are all white. The landforms here, are not flooded before the wind blown out of the formation, this is a special “wind erosion of the lake”, millions of years of changes in the sea, so that the huge wind erosion of the rock sunk to the bottom of the lake, perhaps the “wind erosion of the lake” of the life of a, the following wind holes Will all be spoiled, and this lake from the mountain outflow, will be rushed to the deeper underground, forming an underground waterfall.

All kinds of fishes in the water were in chaos, besides the most numerous “white-bearded scale-less fish”, there were also some “red-scaled split-bellied fishes” and “long-tailed black crabs”, which I don’t know whether they were the same as the “Gate of Disaster” just now or not. “I don’t know whether it was the explosion near the “Gate of Disaster” just now, or the monster that suddenly entered the water, these fish were obviously very frightened, and swam into the hole to hide. White-bearded fish” may be a branch of the “catfish”, their size is less than a meter before, and do not adapt to the environment of the underground, panicked into the disaster of the door of the fish, and have to swim back, rather than risk being eaten by the water monster, but also do not want to escape from the water temperature comfortable “wind erosion lake”.

I just sank into the water, I found in the panic of the fish, there is a five or six meters long, born with four short feet, the body has a large black and white stripes, like a giant lizard things, like a “torpedo” like, in the water under the full force of the slamming towards us.

My mind suddenly came up with the name of a beast of prey “mottled scaly”, it is born like heat and fear of cold, in 1972 in the Kunlun Mountains under the construction of the Maidabucha glacier brother forces, once dug up in the ice layer of this beast of prey frozen corpse, some people want to make it into a specimen, but then for some reason did not succeed, when we also made a special drive! At that time, we also deliberately rushed a few hundred miles of mountain road, to visit there, it’s amazing, this thing than the “Dragon King Crocodile” is even more ruthless, and thick skin, even rifles can not help him.

Fatty and I saw the “mottled jiao” came swiftly, slightly stunned, immediately sank to the bottom of the lake under a vertical alien wind erosion rock, “mottled jiao” hard triangular head slammed on the rock, immediately the snow white fragile wind erosion rock into countless pieces, take advantage of the situation upward It took advantage of the situation to break out of the water.

I was shocked, no good, it wanted to leap out of the water to attack Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming on the green rock, but suddenly I saw the water splashing and foaming, and the “Spotted Jiao” fell back into the lake, it seems that the power of its leap in the water is not enough to reach its prey on the rock. ” Immediately after a hovering dive down, but it seems to have no fixed target, in the lake rushing around, too late to escape the school of fish, all were bitten and chewed by it.

I took the opportunity to take the fat man’s oxygen tank sucked a couple of mouthfuls, with him to take advantage of the chaos to hide into the bottom of the lake in a wind tunnel, where also crowded a lot of refuge fish, now we and the fish who can not care about who, each hide each, I soon understood the “mottled sculpin” attempts, it tossed around in the lake, is trying to hide in the wind tunnel of the fish are out, the white-bearded fish can not withstand the wind tunnel. The white-bearded fish could not stand the shock, and swam out from the wind tunnel, so the “spotted scaly” took the opportunity to kill, as if it had a blood feud with the fish, not simply for the sake of satiety.

White-bearded fish” previously formed a “fish formation”, may be to defend this brutal enemy, clear and transparent lake water was soon dyed red by the blood of fish, the lake is full of bitten fish corpses, fat man and I hid in the wind tunnel to see the shock, want to take the opportunity to escape back to the green rock to climb up, and the “white-bearded fish”, the “white-bearded fish” is not just to eat. I want to take the opportunity to escape back to the green rock to climb up, but climb up at least half a minute’s time, if halfway into the red-eyed “mottled scaly”, its speed in the water faster than a torpedo, if you can’t rely on the favorable terrain to avoid, no matter whether in the water or on land directly facing it, there is not the slightest possibility of survival, had to wait patiently under the water. Opportunity.

Fatty wearing an oxygen tank, there is not much oxygen left, is not paying attention to the place, the bottom of the lake but suddenly appeared more tragic scene, chasing the fish biting “mottled sculpin”, just swam to the fat man and I to hide in front of the wind tunnel, this time only to see mixed with blood in the water of the white shadows flashing, the white-bearded old fish in the bottom of the lake, the white-bearded old fish, the white-bearded old fish in the bottom of the lake. The white-bearded old fish at the bottom of the lake had already appeared behind the Spotted Jiao, twisting its more than ten-meter-long body, flinging up its head, and fiercely crashing into the Spotted Jiao’s only soft belly, which was smashed into the water. “In the water was knocked out of a slip of heel, the strange body twisted, and rushed to the white bearded old fish fish spine, a bite bite, this white bearded fish, although no fish scales, but it has a kind of fish skin rippled meat scales, also very strong, especially this old fish body is huge, the thickness of the meat scales is also correspondingly much higher than other white bearded fish.

“Mottled scaly” rely on sharp teeth, thick skin, claws, “white bearded old fish” is a lot of years of life, experienced, and long body, meat scales are strong, was bitten on a few bites will not be fatal, the two sides entangled together, a moment to fight difficult to distinguish, the entire lake are Open pot, but from the belly of the mountain injected a lot of water, coupled with the bottom of the lake some of the leakage of wind holes seepage is not small, so the gusts of blood mist with the flow with the dispersion of the wind erosion of the lake in the water is always clear and bright.

Fatty and I understand, this is the two tigers fight, they are in order to compete in the “wind erosion lake” of the living space, the duel, why they reason to fight to the death? Maybe it is because of the unique water quality of the wind-eroded lake, or maybe it is an old grudge between natural enemies? This we can not know, but want to escape back to the surface of the lake will have to take advantage of the present, the two split the last remaining oxygen in the oxygen tank sucked up all the oxygen, avoiding the lake fighting “mottled sculpin” and “white-bearded old fish”, touching the edge of the wind-eroded rock, swim to the surface.

Shirley Yang looked down on the lake from the green rock, and could see the scene far more clearly than we could underwater. When she saw that we took advantage of the chaos to float up, she lowered the climbing rope, and this time she didn’t dare to ask Uncle Ming to help her.

When I climbed the rock, I looked back down, the old fish has prevailed, is using the fish head to the “spotted scaly” to the bottom of the lake impact, “spotted scaly” mouth are spitting blood foam, see can not be supported, and so I climbed the rock, but I found that the situation has turned sharply downward! When I climbed up the rock, I found that the situation had taken a drastic turn for the worse, a bigger “spotted sculpin” climbed out from the mountain road, the white-bearded old fish was only concerned about his rival in front of him, and had no defense for the rear, the “spotted sculpin” covered its gills from the rear, and pulled it into the depths of the “wind-eroded lake”. The “wind erosion lake” deep in the largest wind tunnel.

It seems that this battle for the throne of the “wind erosion lake” has come to an end, the fat man wiped the water on his face and said: “When they finish biting, we still have to hurry down to get some fish meat, Uncle Ming put the backpack containing food behind the crystal wall, or else we all have to starve tonight. ”

I said to the fat man: “underwater is too dangerous, don’t for the green ingot, roll lost tsan rake dumplings, I still have some food in the bag, we can according to the chairman of the year to teach us the way, busy time eat dry, idle time eat dilute, not busy, not idle time, then eat half dry and half dilute, everyone save a little bit of food, but also deal with a three or two days.”

The fat man said: “have to eat tsampa belly, only have to think about the head of the problem, a moment I have to go down to fish can’t, this deep forest where there is no time to be idle, may be next to run into what, do a hungry ghost to the netherworld can’t help but be angry.”

Shirley Yang watched the movements in the lake, she obviously feels that the lake under the war is far from over, heard me and fat man’s words, then said to us: “The fish here can not be eaten, when the residents of the city of the evil Luo Hai disappeared overnight, no one in the outside world knows what happened, off the destruction of the evil Luo Hai City legend has a lot of legends, but one of the legends that speak of the city of those who are in the army and people, etc., are turned into water etc., have become the fish in the water, although these legends are not very credible, but Tibetan indeed since ancient times have not eat fish customs, and so large groups of white-bearded fish is also really strange, we had better not to ask for trouble …….”

“wind erosion lake” in the transparent lake water, suddenly appeared tens of thousands of white-bearded fish, densely packed together, they seem to want to go to the bottom of the water to rescue the old fish.

At this time the day is getting late, twilight, in order to see more clearly, I climbed up to the top of the green rock, but this green rock behind the scene, more shocking than the fish in the lake, behind the rock is a lower than the wind erosion of the lake water level of the concave, a seemingly huge hive of wind erosion of the rock like the city, at least a dozen or so layers, Woody’s stuck in it, surrounded by all of it is all white wind erosion of the rock, the top of the caves are countless! This area is very different from the surrounding lush forest, almost no grass, beehive-like top of the city, there is a huge stone built into the eyeball marking, is this the ancient legend of the “evil Luo sea city”? I did not experience a trace of joy after a long journey to reach the destination, on the contrary, I felt that the whole body chills are almost erected, because chillingly, this city is not only brightly lit, but also dead.
