Chapter 700 Bottomless Moon Cave
The reason why the Moon Lake Forest has the word "lake" in its name is because there is real lake water in it. And it is not ordinary water, but a liquid derived from the power of the moon mixed with other energies.
This menstrual fluid is extremely toxic, and people are afraid to touch it.
Once a living being enters it, it won't take long before it is corroded by the deep power of the moon and is directly assimilated and dissolved. Even the throne that holds the power of rules will be harmed.
Fortunately, the water in Yuehu Forest has a low tide period just like the tide.
Once the lake water recedes, it will be a good time for everyone to enter.
“When will the lake water recede?”
On this day, after a long journey, the Earth finally arrived at its destination - Moon Lake Forest. Ivan and others could see the crescent lake from the deck.
The water in Crescent Lake was extremely clear and almost invisible, with no signs of being poisonous at all.
"There's no pattern, there are always two or three times a year."
"After it recedes, how long will it take for it to rise again?"
"There is no pattern, and the price may rise at any time."
Hearing this answer, Ivan frowned. In other words, once they entered Moon Lake, they would need to be prepared to retreat at any time.
However, the terrain of the Moon Lake Forest is very complex, and is comparable to the 'underground maze' that leads from the surface of Danala to the underground. Both contain thousands of forks. The former is much deeper than the latter, and is extremely troublesome to explore.
If they fail to do it properly, they will need to explore again and again, running back and forth, exploring dozens or even hundreds of times.
Before their arrival, the Fire of War and the Thousand Claws Throne of the Earth's Core had explored the area briefly several times but did not find any clues about the target.
"Are your sources of information correct?" Ivan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"There's absolutely no doubt about it." The Night Mother answered once again with absolute certainty.
"Well, if it doesn't work once, try twice. If it doesn't work twice, try three times. With so many of us, we'll eventually find out." Seeing that she was unwilling to tell him the source of the information, Ivan didn't ask any more questions.
He turned his attention to the area around Crescent Lake. It had to be said that this "strange object from the sky" attracted quite a few people. Some took boats, some rode mounts, and some flew directly, making this originally deserted place suddenly become very lively.
It can be predicted that there should be many people on the way, and it will become more and more lively later.
To him, having a lot of people is nothing, but if he attracts the Supreme Being or even the Ancestor, he will be somewhat unhappy. The uncertain factors will undoubtedly increase, which will increase unknown risks.
Crescent Lake is actually not small. It is said that it is even more spacious inside and can accommodate a large number of creatures.
But as long as the water in the lake does not recede, people outside will not be able to enter it.
Time passed day by day, and everyone was waiting silently until a special floating ship arrived and broke the original situation.
"Wow, the Xigong Chamber of Commerce came here to do business. They really know how to pick the right time."
The visitor was none other than the Xigong Chamber of Commerce, which traveled around the galaxy all year round. The Chamber's large floating ship was carried by two ten-headed dragon anacondas, and its external aura immediately overshadowed the surrounding warships.
Seven people walked out of the Chamber of Commerce and landed on the head of the dragon anaconda in front of them. The leader shouted to all directions:
"You are right. I am Arthur Euphemiah, the owner of the Xigong Chamber of Commerce. I am very happy to meet you all here. As I said before, I have everything you need in Xigong. Please feel free to ask for anything you need. We will do everything we can to satisfy you."
It is not difficult for people around to see that this Merchant Arthur is a Supreme, and the six people behind him are all thrones. Such strength is undoubtedly powerful.
Ivan also saw an acquaintance, a middle-aged man named Campbell, with whom he had made a deal many years ago.
Merchant Arthur didn't say much. He just came out to say hello and show off his strength. After all, anyone who can run to the end of the galaxy is not a weakling.
After the seven people left the dragon anaconda's head and opened the door to welcome guests, many people immediately ran over.
In the long river of the starry sky, the Xigong Chamber of Commerce is very famous, but its location has always been uncertain. It is really not easy to meet it once in the vast starry sky.
"We have nothing to do anyway, why don't we go take a look together?" On the Earth, the first person to be moved was the Golden Wu Throne.
"That makes sense. As long as the lake water doesn't recede, we have nothing to do. Judging from the current situation, the lake water won't recede anytime soon." The Qingcang Throne agreed.
The others were obviously interested as well, and seeing this, the Dark Night Mother nodded slightly.
"The Xi Palace has a profound background. It is said that it was founded by the ancestor 'Mr. Dong Xi'. You must not cause trouble when you go there." As the few people moved away, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly added.
The others nodded in agreement after hearing this. They didn't expect that the Xigong Chamber of Commerce had such a powerful background.
Afterwards, several people left the Dadi in twos and threes, passed through the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, boarded the floating ship, and came to the spacious business hall inside.
Most of the Shangji area was not open to the public, but was covered with layers of protective shields, which protected the objects and creatures inside tightly to prevent them from being harmed by the moon.
Only the main building of the Xi Palace in the center stood there brightly, welcoming distinguished guests from all directions.
After they arrived at the main building, they found it was quieter than before, but everyone could understand that this was an extraordinary place after all, and it was already very good that the Chamber of Commerce could do business normally.
"Mr. Cumberd, long time no see."
"Brother Ivan, hahahaha, I knew that with your ability, you would become one of us sooner or later. Well done, it happened faster than I expected."
Campbell still looks the same as before, his eyes like stars, his hair like lightning, accompanied by a hint of wind and fire, he looks like a generous uncle with a lot of stories.
The last time they met, Ivan was on his way to the fairy plane and the Songzan plane. At that time, he was only a fifth-level ancient king.
Also in this main building of the 'Seal Palace', he exchanged a lot of information about achieving the throne from Campbell, but at that time he almost emptied his own belongings.
"Brother Ivan, what do you need this time? You are a person who suits my temperament very well. I will try my best to give you a discount within the regulations." After the two of them reminisced about the past for a while, Campbell asked.
"I have to think about it. The things in your Xi Palace are not cheap."
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry."
Ivan stopped talking suddenly. Unlike the last time he was promoted to the throne, this time he did not need any knowledge about the Supreme Realm, and he did not lack anything in other aspects either.
If you think about it carefully, he mainly lacks two things, one is related to the inheritance of wisdom, and the other is related to Fang Yutu.
But considering that he didn't know much about the Xi Palace and these two points were of great importance, he couldn't help but have concerns in his heart. It was better to be more careful when going out.
"Have you thought it through so quickly?" After a pause, Campbell smiled.
"I can't keep wasting your precious time. I have two requests. I need to buy a detailed document about the Moon Lake Forest and a varying number of plane star marks. Can you do that?"
"The first request is simple, but the second one——"
"More or less is fine. I understand that the plane star mark can easily fail."
"That's a simple question. Do you need to consult anything else?"
"Next time."
The plane star mark is actually a type of plane coordinate, corresponding to something hidden deep inside the plane. Such a special thing can be used to anchor the plane that is constantly moving.
Since the plane has its own defense mechanism, this type of star mark will also become invalid over time, but it is much more reliable than simple plane coordinates. Ivan has been expanding the Black Star Army to connect more planes, so the more plane star marks the better for him.
Compared with his current status, these are just two small transactions, which can be settled with high-level currency condensed by the power of rules. It is cost-effective and there is no need to worry about it.
"It's really unexpected that the foundation of Moon Lake Forest is this."
After a while, Ivan walked out of the main building of Xi Palace, but he was still thinking about the information about Yuehu Forest in his mind.
Xi Palace has conducted many studies on the Moon Lake Forest and discovered that it is one or more star networks hidden deep in the hidden world. No one knows what happened, but these star networks were solidified by the moonlight, exposing them directly to the outside and turning them into the Moon Lake.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a kind of "moonization".
It also illustrates one thing, that the Moon Lake Forest is not only related to the Chaos Realm, but also has a great relationship with the Hidden Realm. Coupled with that inexplicable thing that fell down, one can imagine the complexity of the Moon Lake Forest.
"Wizard Ivan, you came out so soon."
"What about you guys? Didn't you buy anything?"
"No, we don't lack anything."
On the way back, Ivan met Jenny and the sea mother who were walking slowly out.
These two people seemed to be here for a stroll, but Jenny was right. As people from the center of the earth, they were indeed relatively well-off, no matter from which aspect.
The three of them leisurely left the floating ship.
At this moment, a thin old man was standing at the top window of the main building of the Xi Palace, looking at the people passing by below and taking everything in.
But no one noticed this, not even some of the Supreme Beings.
……
Time flies by.
More and more creatures gathered around the Moon Lake Forest, and the Xigong Chamber of Commerce did not leave. It seemed that they were preparing to get a piece of the pie, or wait for others to make some gains and then take the opportunity to trade.
On this day, the water in Yue Lake finally receded, and thick white smoke rose from the mouth of the lake, like some kind of miasma.
"What are the plans?"
"This is the first time we are exploring. We are all acting alone and each choosing a fork in the road to try each other's luck."
"no problem."
On the Earth, the Mother Goddess of Darkness simply formulated the strategy for this exploration and prepared to try her luck first.
No one present had any objection to this, and they were not afraid of any danger. The weakest person here was a throne, so it would not be easy for a big problem to occur.
The action began immediately.
Like everyone else, Ivan and his group each found a position and flew into the thick smoke.
The smoke was like evaporating water vapor, also full of toxicity, but no more harmful than any prepared throne. Behind the smoke was a thick layer of moonlight, almost solidified, firmly blocking the surface of Crescent Lake.
This is also not a problem for a throne.
After passing two checkpoints at the entrance, the sky below suddenly became clear and the huge Moon Lake appeared clearly before our eyes. It was not crescent-shaped. At first glance, it looked like a bottomless pit. No matter how hard we looked, we could not see the end.
Those crystal trees seemed to be pillars in the cave. The deeper the moon cave was, the longer the crystal trees were.
Smoke could be seen floating between the crystal trees. Some of the smoke was mixed with a thin, special smell. If Ivan was not mistaken, it was the smell of chaos.
"The aura of chaos must not be touched."
He descended slowly along the moon cave, avoiding the smoke mixed with chaotic aura as far as possible. He soon discovered that the frequency of the chaotic aura here was more frequent than before.
"Could it be that the fallen object came from the world of chaos? If so, there will be more people coveting it, which is not a good thing."
As we all know, the chaotic world is more mysterious than the astral world. Only the ancestors are qualified to explore it. The ancestors also try to pursue higher power from the chaotic world.
If something falls in the chaotic world at this moment, it will definitely attract the attention of the ancestor.
Ivan shook his head slightly. It was useless to think too much now. He just had to try his best to avoid that thing.
The Moon Lake Forest is not a place without treasures, on the contrary, this extreme place is rich in all kinds of treasures.
But as he went down, he found nothing but crystal trees.
This is actually normal. It takes a certain amount of time for any treasure to condense. Other things on the periphery have long been collected by others, so it is not his turn to pick them.
After a while, he chose a fork in the road and entered the passage next to it.
"It's exactly like they said. The passages are exactly the same."
Soon, this passage became no different from the main road just now, and there were no ferocious beasts or other dangers encountered. The whole process seemed very boring.
"Just like the Astral Network in the Hidden Realm, it has a great power that blurs space."
"Could it be that this is the way to completely spread out the network of the star realm?"
Ivan did not feel bored. He observed his surroundings with great interest and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.
Two days later, a lot of thick smoke came out from underneath, and the noise was different.
He understood that the lake water was rising again. He immediately turned into a ray of rainbow light and quickly returned along the way he came, leaving the thick smoke far behind him.
In just a few hours, he rushed out from the mouth of Crescent Lake and landed back on the Earth.
He unexpectedly discovered that he was the first person to return.
"Wizard Ivan, your speed is quite good."
"Haha, I walked slowly when I went there, just studying the things around me."
The second one to return was the Golden Wu Throne, which fell to the deck like a stream of flames.
According to Ivan, this Golden Wu Throne has another identity. She is the partner of Wuyang Supreme, and the two have been partners for many, many years.
Not long after, Sea Mother and others returned to the Earth one after another, and the last to arrive was Jenny, who had just condensed the throne.
"What's going on? Where's Lilibet? Why is she even slower than us?"
"This wizard doesn't know. I didn't see the Dark Night Mother when I came back."
But there was still one person who did not show up. In the end, the lake water rose, but there was still no one in sight, which made everyone anxious. (End of this chapter)
