Chapter 355 The monster at the bottom of the lake
Near Baihuazhou, a fast crab boat was paddling on the lake water. The short and strong guard raised a steel fork, and with a slight breeze, the water moved. With one fork, he caught five or six large carps from East Lake and threw them into the cabin, where they were alive and kicking.

After the assassin fell into the water, he never reappeared.

"If you find the assassin, you will get a reward of 100 gold coins. If you can capture him, you will get 500 gold coins and be promoted to a first-class guard."

"The reward is generous, you have to be ordered to take it. How can the person who dared to commit a crime in Xinghua Tower be an ordinary person? I heard that Zhu Dianshi was worried that he might come back and dispatched 500 guards to the island."

"Is it possible that a water ghost came ashore and killed people?"

"Don't talk nonsense! If His Highness hears this, be careful of your head. Even His Highness Prince Lu has been..."

Prince Ning vowed to find the assassin, and mobilized more than a hundred large and small boats, issued a reward, and circled around Baihuazhou in search. His original words were, "Every fish in the East Lake must be caught and asked to determine whether it is male or female."

The tall guard suddenly saw a dark shadow swimming upwards from the bottom of the water on the left side of the ship.

"Someone!"

The short and strong guard dropped the steel fork in his hand, splashing water everywhere, and the black shadow instantly fled.

"bingo!"

He raised the steel fork towards the sun. Two silver fish had their intestines pierced but their bellies were ruptured, but they were still struggling in death. Their bellies were bulging, and as their tails swung, yellow fish eggs and blood fell into the lake.

"Okay, another meal."

The short and strong guard kicked the fish off the steel fork with his foot and kicked it into the cabin. He was born a fisherman and was quite strong. By chance, he entered the Ning Wang Mansion and ate the food of a superior official, but he still did not forget his old profession.

"This is called silver herring. It is extremely difficult to catch and four or five times more expensive than carp. It is really rare today!"

"What's so strange about that?"

"Silver herrings are timid and only stay in deep water. Even if you cast a heavy net, you won't be able to catch many..."

The lake bottom is dark and the terrain is complex.

"Gulu~"

Some places seem stable, but are actually full of pits. Once you step down, mud and sand will rise up along with the waves, instantly blocking your vision. You can only close your eyes, half walk and half swim, moving forward in the dark.

"Gulu~"

Two human legs stepped into the water plants, and more than a dozen silver carps quickly jumped up and fled upwards.

"Damn it! Ren Yingying was sold out."

When Zhang Yu rushed over following the sound of cannon fire, he happened to see the Zhuquetang ship evacuating from afar under the water.

"Di Baiying, Yang Lianting, and Ren Yingying are all birds of a feather."

There were more and more boats on the lake, and they were searched, surrounded, and patrolled in an orderly manner, forcing him to sneak at the bottom of the lake.

"Don't let me escape!"

He groped slowly forward in the direction of the sun.

"Luckily, I have this green jade ring that can slow down my breathing. Combined with the internal energy circulation, I can hold my breath underwater for much longer than an average person. I can hold my breath underwater for two hours without any problem."

The ring on the left thumb emits a bright green light.

He felt a little relieved.

"It's getting deeper and deeper ahead. Are we in the center of the lake?"

There is obvious pressure ten feet underwater, but it is not a big problem for people who practice martial arts.

"Wow~"

Two snakehead fish smelled the blood, swam straight over, opened their mouths and revealed their tiny teeth.

"This fish is so fierce that it's not afraid of people."

He waved the Water Dragon Chant, crossing it left and right, and cut them into four parts. Blood mist filled the air and the fishy smell was pungent. If it were in the sea, he would never dare to do so. But what big fish could there be in this inland lake?
"The pair of snakehead brothers will probably be able to dominate this area of ​​water."

Zhang Yu passed through the blood mist, pushing water at the bottom of the lake, half swimming and half walking.

After two hundred steps, a steep slope appeared in front of us. It was like a huge bowl, pitch black and it was impossible to tell the depth.

"It takes too much time to go around. The terrain at the bottom of the lake is complicated. Let's just go in the direction of the sun."

Zhang Yu leaped up and swam into the dark waters. He didn't want to enter the 'giant bowl', so he raised his head and swam upstream. He had already passed half of the water when suddenly, the water below surged and a huge suction force came.

"Meet the underwater dark vortex? I can't be so unlucky."

Zhang Yu struggled to swim upstream, but being underwater, he could only use 30% to 40% of his martial arts skills. In the end, he could not break free from the powerful suction. He felt like a feather being dragged into the dark abyss.

Falling...

Still falling.

Still falling!
"Damn, it's at least twenty feet!"

Zhang Yu wanted to cry but he had no tears. Gradually, he found himself penetrating the black water and reaching the bottom of the giant bowl. "Hmm?"

After falling down, the suction disappeared instantly.

Logically speaking, there should be no light source at the bottom of the lake due to the black water above, but he found that he could see things clearly without the help of the green jade ring. The ground was covered with white fine sand, and two crabs with thick shells quickly hid in the crevices of the rocks.

"There are crabs, fish and shrimp. At least this place is not a Jedi."

Being suddenly dragged into unfamiliar waters, at least thirty feet deep from the lake surface, which is nearly a hundred meters away, any normal person would be panicked. Zhang Yu was able to calm down quickly by relying on the green jade ring and the "Water Dragon Song" dagger.

"Hoohoo!"

There was a noise.

"Something is pushing the water? It's coming this way."

As the waves surged, Zhang Yu staggered forward four or five steps, finally steadying his body. He turned around and saw another wave of water surged. He exerted force with his legs and plunged into the sand before he stabilized himself. He held the Shui Long Yin horizontally in front of him, and was on guard carefully.

"Dong Dong~"

"Boom~"

The waves roared.

"I go!"

Zhang Yu opened his eyes wide and saw clearly the approaching shadow.

"Dong dong!"

The huge beast stepped on the ground with all four legs, making a "dong dong" sound. Its shell was two meters wide. It raised its head and struggled forward. Its long neck was bulging with muscles, showing a very powerful feeling.

There was a gentleness and peace in those two fist-sized eyes, without any bloodiness or violence.

"Boom!"

It raised its left front leg, but it fell back to where it was, as if it could no longer move.

"call!"

The big turtle spit out a lot of waves from its mouth, sighed softly, and looked at Zhang Yu who was not far away from it, as if begging. That old face was full of vicissitudes. I don’t know how many years he has lived alone in this water.
"Very humane."

Seeing that the big turtle had no ill intentions, Zhang Yu put away his dagger and walked away slowly.

"Huh~"

The giant soft-shell turtle lowered its head and lay flat on the bottom of the lake.

"I see!"

Zhang Yu understood what the giant turtle wanted and why it couldn't move forward even half a step. He became more and more surprised.

A thin chain was wrapped around the neck, leaving deep marks. It extended backwards along the tortoise shell and was at least five or six feet long.

Further away, the waters were murky and difficult to see clearly.

"Who chained the giant turtle to the bottom of the lake?"

Zhang Yu walked to its head and grasped the chain with his hand. He immediately felt a chill running through his bones and quickly let go. He was right next to its mouth. The giant turtle had no intention of attacking, and the two sides established some mutual trust.

"You want me to help you untie the chains?"

Zhang Yu waited for a moment, not expecting it to speak, so he took out the Water Dragon Song dagger.

"If I can't satisfy the old man, I'm afraid I can't leave him either."

The dagger swung out and hit the chain.

"Clang!"

The chain was intact, but the sword blade had a crack.

"Can not be done!"

Zhang Yu tried several more times but still failed. The Shuilongyin, which had just achieved great success, was ruined beyond recognition.

"call!"

The giant turtle was not surprised. It took two steps back, raised its head and showed its wound. The iron chain was half a finger deep into the giant turtle's neck.

The circle of strangulation marks was bloody and many freshwater barnacles grew on it, blocking the marks and sucking blood along the way. This made the giant turtle feel both painful and breathless.

"No wonder you're always panting."

After struggling for a while, seeing that Zhang Yu finally understood, the giant turtle lowered its head again.
