Chapter 26 The guy at the bottom of the lake
The sudden attack of the strange bird did not allow Lu Jing and the others to stay for too long.
You should know that the rich bloody smell in this forest is equivalent to the enhanced version of the monster-induced BUFF. God knows what kind of guys will attract after a few more minutes.
It would be fine if there was enough energy gain. Lu Jing was thinking of upgrading the rapids or improving his physical fitness even further, but these beasts could provide pitifully less energy, let alone any new cards that could condense.
Under the premise that Lu Jing deliberately avoided trouble, the treasure hunt was much smoother. He had encountered several wild beasts with strong aggressiveness in the middle, but for the two practitioners Lu Jing and Xu Zhuo, the trouble they could cause was really limited. If Lu Jing hadn't wanted to get blood all over, bullets would have been saved.
"It's right ahead!"
Due to several accidents that occurred in the middle, after walking among the woodland for nearly two hours, Xu Zhuo was somewhat unsustainable, but he was in good spirits. He pointed to the bushes with faint light in front and said loudly.
"Okay, come with me."
He waved the short sword in his hand and cut open the shrubs in front of him. As a pioneer, Lu Jing's physical energy was undoubtedly more serious than Xu Zhuo. Fortunately, he was full of energy and his actions were still not affected.
Pulling away the last layer of obstacle in front of him, Lu Jing immediately felt that the sultry heat in the forest was swept away. Not only did the refreshing air flow hit him, but he suddenly realized his eyes... The final place shown in the treasure map of the live spot was a huge lake inside the Beast Island!
Looking around, it is at least 200 meters in diameter. The clear lake water reflects the blue sky, white clouds and surrounding trees. The mirror-like lake surface wafts with layers of scales under the breeze, so that Lu Jing, the future "fishing king", was a little annoyed for a moment why he didn't bring his fishing rod.
There must be good fish here...
At this moment, Lu Jing did not expect how violent the slap would be.

The trembling of the compass in the pocket of his waist made Lu Jing feel unresponsive for a moment. When he took it out and opened it, he found that the brass pointer inside the compass had pointed to a point in the lake.
"How could the reaction be so big this time?"
Noticed Lu Jing's actions, Xu Zhuo asked in surprise.
Lu Jing did not hide the matter about the compass from him. After all, he also knew a lot of information about unknown strange things. However, the result of the two people's previous discussion was that this No. 76 compass would only react to treasures related to Lu Jing near him, and must be within a range of no more than three meters.
However, this time there was obviously an accident.
"It seems that our previous speculation is wrong, and the compass should have other trigger conditions."
Moving the compass and paying attention to the change of its pointer, Lu Jing's face was somewhat filled with joy.
You should know that although the previous few changes in the compass have helped Lu Jing, it is not easy to say how critical it is. After all, whether it is the corpse of the fish monster or the suitcase containing items, they are all things he has already obtained.
No matter how new changes that have emerged now are all good things.
"The treasure map of the living spots shows that the treasure is in the lake in front, and the compass changes abnormally when we arrive at the shore. What might be the connection between this?"
The treasure map was spread out, and the lead-gray footprints originally presented on the map turned into a dot shape again. The treasure map that originally outlined the terrain of the Beast Island also showed new changes at this time. The shape of the lake was pieced together in the lines.
Black dots are in the middle!
"Well... it should be buried at the bottom of the lake. As for why the compass is abnormal, we will naturally know everything when we catch the treasure later."
While speaking, Lu Jing took off his backpack, guns and weapons, and finally removed his top and trousers, leaving only a pair of shorts. His already strong body showed a sense of power under the sunlight.
There was no way. When Lu Jing landed on the island, he didn't expect that he would have to go into the water to hunt treasures, and the things on his body would also affect him to dive. However, when he was throwing away the clogs, Lu Jing's gaze unconsciously turned around, and then the movements at hand gradually slowed down.
"What's wrong, this place is too quiet...tsk, why does this feel so strong?"
From arriving around the lake to now, the two of them first looked at the compass, and then looked at the map, which took at least five minutes. During this period, Lu Jing heard only the sound of wind and the sound of branches and leaves of the surrounding trees shaking.
It is not strange to place it elsewhere, but the problem is that this is a freshwater lake on the island. I think it must be a drinking water area for various creatures in the surrounding area. Under this premise, there is still no sound, so it is intriguing here!
"Look at the lake for a while, or go back to the forest and hit a hare as bait?"
Xu Zhuo suggested.
"No, doing this is a waste of time. The treasure is hidden in the lake. What if I have not harvested until the evening? My eyes do not have night vision."
Since the treasure is hidden at the bottom of the lake, Lu Jing must dive. Now is the brightest time of the day. The visibility underwater is quite good and the easiest to find. It really takes two or three hours to delay it. When the light dims, the difficulty of looking for treasure will only increase.
"I'd better go down and take a look first. Xu Zhuo, you go to the nearby tree near the lake and climb as high as possible. It's best to have a vision that covers most of the lake. If there is any abnormal movement... If something strange happens, just shoot it directly. Even if I can't hear the gunshots, I can still feel the fluctuations in the lake caused by that guy's vigorous activity."
"Can you stand it at the bottom of the lake?"
"Don't worry, I forgot how I made that monster on the Youhai Flower Boat before?"
Although the lake is not an ocean, Lu Jing could feel that the power of the seafarers could not be fully exerted, but at least it was in the water, which was still enhanced by a certain degree compared to the land.
Even if an accident really occurs, Lu Jing has enough confidence to get himself out of danger under the tide alienation.
"Okay, wait until I get up the tree before going down."
The captain said there was no problem, so Xu Zhuo stopped talking, looked around and found a suitable tree to climb up, and then sent a signal to Lu Jing.
At this time, Lu Jing, who had finished warming up on the shore, didn't talk much nonsense. He jumped a few steps forward and plunged into the water.
