Chapter 192 Mysterious Pool
Chapter 192 Mysterious Pool
Yi Feng and his group had been walking for nearly twenty days, stopping and starting along the way, but they still hadn't seen the bamboo sea that Xiong Da had mentioned.
Everyone began to wonder if Xiong Da had remembered the wrong place.
The weather was extremely hot these days. Although they were walking in a dense forest, they were still sweating all over when they ran, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
Especially people like Amu, Dashi and Chen, their animal forms are all covered with thick fur.
After running for a short while in broad daylight, they felt the heat was unbearable and they all stuck out their tongues and gasped for breath.
After running for about half an hour, they had to sit down and rest for a while.
At this time, Xing would take out ice cubes from the space and let them hold them in their mouths or stick them on their bodies, so as to slightly relieve the feeling of heat.
Fortunately, the magical space of Xing can turn the water inside into ice, otherwise the ice that Yi Feng stored in the previous winter would not be enough.
Dashi was drinking iced juice while leaning against a tree and sighing, "Oh no, it's too hot! When can we get there?"
Yi Feng looked at the high mountain that rose into the sky not far away, turned around and said to everyone: "Let's take a rest here today."
"Let's climb up that mountain tomorrow and take a look at the surrounding environment. Maybe the bamboo sea is nearby."
"If not, how about we find a cool place at the foot of that mountain to rest for a few days?"
Dashi followed Yi Feng's gaze and nodded, saying, "Well, that's a good idea! Don't wait until tomorrow. Let's take a break and go to the foot of the mountain. It should be cooler down there."
So, after a short rest, the few people continued to move forward and ran to the foot of the mountain.
This mountain is really huge, towering into the clouds, and covered with tall trees, like a green fortress.
Yi Feng and his companions wandered around at the foot of the mountain for a long time before they finally found a natural cave.
Although the entrance of this cave is very shallow, it is only a dozen meters inside and the end is just right for a temporary resting place.
Surprisingly, the top of the cave entrance is like a natural "sunshade", and the dense branches above block all the sunlight from the cave entrance.
What excited them most was that there was a large pool of water near the cave, and the water in it felt particularly cool.
When Amu and his friends saw the pond, they were so excited that they quickly turned into human form and jumped into the pond impatiently.
Even Tutu couldn't help getting excited and flew into the pool.
Feeling the coolness on his body, Tutu happily shouted to Yi Feng and Xing: "Come down quickly, the water here is so cool! So comfortable!"
Xing turned to Yi Feng and said helplessly, "You go, it's not convenient for me to go into the water these days."
Yi Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "No, the water is too cold. I'll stay here with you."
As she spoke, she took out a cup of slightly warm water and handed it to Xing.
But Amu and his friends didn't feel satisfied just swimming in the water, so they dived directly into the water.
After a while, Amu suddenly popped his head out of the water and shouted to Yi Feng in surprise, "This pool doesn't look big on the surface, but it gets wider as you go deeper. I've been swimming for so long and still can't see the bottom!"
Yi Feng was a little surprised when he heard this. According to Amu's diving speed, he would have dived at least several hundred meters by now.
It’s so deep and we haven’t reached the bottom yet?
After waiting for a while, Haichao, Dashi and others emerged from the water one after another.
Haichao frowned slightly and said solemnly: "I feel something is wrong down there."
"I kept going downstream, and I saw several caves where it connected to the mountain."
“Some are big, some are small, and they feel like they are leading to some unknown place.”
Dashi followed suit and said, "Yes, and the water gets colder the further down you go."
"Haichao and I swam for a long time but couldn't find the bottom. We also felt something was wrong, so we came up."
Tutu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suggested, "Why don't we go down and take a look together? Maybe we can find something interesting!"
However, Yi Feng shook his head and said cautiously: "Forget it, let's not go down."
"What if there are all strange beasts down there? We won't be able to defeat them with so few people! Safety is the first priority. Don't take any risks."
Dashi and Haichao also agreed with Yi Feng's opinion.
Although they are brave, they dare not rashly run to the unfamiliar lair of strange beasts, as that would be tantamount to seeking death.
Tutu felt a little scared when he thought that the underground might be full of strange beasts.
She flew to Yi Feng's shoulder, feeling the warmth from his body, and said hesitantly, "Should we stay here? If those strange beasts come up, won't we be in danger?"
Yi Feng did not answer directly, but looked at Dashi.
Dashi and Haichao looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Of course, it's so cool here, it won't be too late for us to rest for a few more days before leaving."
He turned to Tutu, smiled and comforted him: "Tutu, don't be afraid."
"We don't dare go down to deep places because we are not familiar with the environment below and don't know what the situation is like."
"But we are not afraid on the ground, and there may not be any strange beasts. These are just our guesses."
"Even if there are strange beasts, it might be a good thing. The strange beasts can hide in such a deep place. Maybe we are almost at the bamboo forest. They must have been forced by the black and white bears to stay in the dark underground."
Tutu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. The nervous expression on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a happy smile: "Dashi, you are right. Tutu is not afraid now."
"Let's stay here for a few more days. It's so cool here. Tutu likes it."
After hearing Tutu's words, everyone was amused by her innocence and started laughing too.
Yi Feng gently touched Tutu's little face with his hand and said lovingly: "Tutu, it's good that you like it, but be careful not to go to the water alone, you have to be with everyone."
Tutu nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Don't worry, Tutu won't go to the water alone. I will be with everyone."
After saying that, she turned to look at Dashi and the others and warned them seriously: "The same goes for you. Don't go soaking in the water alone. It's best to go together."
Dashi and a few others immediately nodded, indicating that they would listen to Tutu.
At night, several people placed a wooden house and a conch house in the cave and prepared to sleep.
Haichao stayed in the pool, enjoying the cool water.
He turned into a big crab and sat at the exit of the pond, looking very comfortable.
During this period of traveling, Haichao suffered a lot.
The orcs of the Sea Tribe love water. In such a hot day, they run outside every day, and Hai Chao feels like he is about to turn into a dried crab.
If Yi Feng and Xing hadn't made him soak in ice water several times a day, Haichao felt that he would not survive.
Now that there was a pond where he could happily soak in the water, he really didn't want to get up at all, and he didn't even want to go to the bamboo forest.
But thinking about the black and white bear that could grow bigger, and the sweet bamboo, Haichao sighed.
And we can't stay here and soak in the water forever, after all, there might be strange beasts underneath.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of his ice bed which was both cool and comfortable.
He decided to wait until Yi Feng woke up, and then ask her to take out the ice bed and cut a piece of it to carry with her, so that she would be more comfortable even on the road.
Thinking of this, Haichao closed his eyes happily.
