There was a gurgling sound in the river, as if it was boiling.

Sun Guangmin waved his hands, telling everyone to continue to retreat, trying to get further away from the river bank.

Soon, everyone retreated to a place ten meters away from the river bank, and then stopped.

Next, Sun Guangmin stared at the bubbles emerging from the Heicuo River with all his attention, with a slightly nervous expression between his brows.

Under everyone's gaze, the bubbles in the Heizuo River became smaller for no reason, and the gurgling sound also became smaller.

Soon, calm was restored on the river, just like before, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was at a loss. They didn't understand what happened there just now, and why they suddenly recovered.

Sun Guangmin thought for a while, and said to everyone: "I guess, it may be because we were close to the shore just now, so the bubbles appeared in it. Now that we are far away, those bubbles disappeared."

"Well, it does make sense. In this case, let's try to get closer."

Zhang Shijia's idea was adopted, and Sun Guangmin, supported by more than a dozen paper figurine soldiers, took the lead to move forward and reached the bank of the river again.

Everyone followed up one after another, and at the moment when everyone just reached the river bank, a strange thing happened. On the surface of the Heizuo River, at the same position as before, bubbles appeared again and made a gurgling sound.

This strange phenomenon puzzled Sun Guangmin and others, and they couldn't guess what was going on at all.

More and more bubbles appeared in the river, and they were getting bigger and bigger, which made Sun Guangmin feel the danger again, and made everyone retreat again.

When everyone walked to a place five meters away from the river bank, the number of bubbles in the river water decreased.

Sun Guangmin already understood that his guess just now was correct. Although he didn't know what was in the Heicuo River, as soon as someone approached the river bank, bubbles would immediately appear in the river.

This made Sun Guangmin's brain run fast, and immediately thought deeply about the current situation, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"There are two possibilities. One is that there is some kind of mechanism in the river. When people approach, the mechanism will activate and cause damage to people on the bank. The other is that there is some kind of animal in the river. This animal can sense that someone is approaching, so we must Come up."

After Sun Guangmin finished speaking, Huang Ying added: "I think the second possibility is more likely, those bubbles are produced by that animal when it breathes."

"Young Marshal, the two situations you mentioned are actually similar, and they will both cause harm to us. Otherwise, we will bring up the things from the bottom of the river and let the brothers of the Northern Army try to open fire."

The fat Taoist looked at Sun Guangmin, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Sun Guangmin thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, I will do as you said. After we get close, we will not leave. Everyone prepares weapons. If something really floats up, we will open fire immediately."

Everyone walked to the bank again, and as expected, bubbles appeared in the river again, and they became bigger and bigger, and the things inside were about to pop out.

This time, everyone did not leave the bank. Sun Guangmin made a gesture of preparing for battle. Then, all the soldiers of the Northern Army raised their rifles and aimed at the place where the bubbles appeared in the river.

The next moment, a brown circular stone platform emerged from the river, which shocked everyone slightly, and some people could not help but take two steps back.

The gunshots of "bang bang bang" sounded immediately.

All the bullets hit the brown round platform, but the thing seemed to be very hard. When the bullets hit it, they were all bounced off, leaving only very shallow bullet marks.

"What is that?"

The fat Taoist couldn't help asking.

"Stop shooting."

Sun Guangmin saw that shooting didn't work, so he ordered everyone to stop firing.

All the soldiers of the Northern Army stopped firing and put down their rifles one after another.

At least a dozen flashlights shone on the circular platform. Sun Guangmin took a closer look and found that the circular platform was quite large, with a diameter of about five meters.

"Oh, this looks like a turtle's shell."

Zhang Shijia cried out in surprise, and then Sun Guangmin nodded slightly: "Well, it looks like a tortoise's shell."

The fat Taoist continued: "This is a bit outrageous, there are such big turtles in the world."

"Maybe this is the legendary basalt tortoise. I didn't expect this ancient tortoise to hide in this underground black river."

The tortoise's shell is ten meters away from the shore, and only a small part of the shell is exposed, and the rest is underwater.

"It doesn't matter if it's the shell of the basalt tortoise, or some other monster, anyway, we can lure it closer, and maybe we can step on it to cross the river."

As soon as Sun Guangmin finished speaking, the fat Taoist exclaimed happily: "Yes, this is a good way."
