Kuang Zhou was very anxious on the shore. At first, he could still contact Shen Xia, but later the messages he sent were like nothing. Especially now that it was past the unitary hour and the sun had set, it would be really late if Shen Xia didn't come up. .

This lake is extremely weird. Kuang Zhou's attack power is not as strong as Shen Xia's. He can smash the lake open with a single Dan furnace cauldron. Moreover, if he even enters the water, he will really lose his wife and his troops.

Therefore, he could only refresh the chat interface between the communicator and Shen Xia while keeping an eye on the situation on the lake.

The lake began to shake, and Kuang Zhou could feel the jade fragments on the shore rolling towards the lake. After a while, there was a long period of calm. Now that it was dark, he could only light a fire next to it to ensure that Shen Xia came ashore. I can see him for the first time later.

At about 19:45, Kuang Zhou clearly heard the sound of the mirror breaking. He threw a bright bomb into the middle of the lake. With the strong and short light emitted by the bright bomb, Kuang Zhou saw The entire lake surface was covered with dense cracks like a broken mirror.

Then he heard a continuous dull knocking sound coming from below the lake, and immediately realized that it might be Shen Xia. While turning on the communicator to send a message to Shen Xia, he ran towards the source of the sound.

Kuang Zhou came to the source of the sound, which was also the place with the largest cracks in the entire lake. Looking down from the lake, he still couldn't see the situation under the lake. What was reflected on the lake was still the completely dark sky.

"Chen Xia!" Kuang Zhou half-knelt on the lake and put his hands on the lake, "Is that you? Shen Xia!"

There was silence below the lake for a moment, and then Kuang Zhou's communicator rang, a message from Shen Xia: "Yes."

After confirming that Shen Xia was under the lake, Kuang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and shouted toward the bottom of the lake: "Get out of the way, I'll blow it up with a thunder bomb."

Thunder bombs, which are similar to small mines, were also developed by the Tianguan Sect. They are disposable consumables. Monks like Kuang Zhou, who have low attack power, will buy some to keep on hand all year round. After all, this is a one-time consumable item. The gadget is easy to carry and has more than one or two points of power. Although the price is not low and it may not be useful against powerful people, it is still useful for showing off or scaring people.

As expected, there was no sound underwater, and Kuang Zhou's communicator received another "good" word from Shen Xia.

Kuang Zhou didn't dare to delay. Shen Xia had been underwater for such a long time. Even if she didn't encounter any accidents underwater, the corrosion of the black water for a long time would be very harmful to the body. In addition, now The Yin Qi is gradually getting stronger, and you can feel the unusual coldness even on the shore, let alone in the lake.

Kuang Zhou took out an iron egg the size of an egg with runes engraved on it from the mustard bag. He groped around the lake and found the point where the cracks were most concentrated. He stuck the thunder bullet in the crack and then immediately moved away.

The thunder bomb placed on the crack began to make a "didi" sound, followed by a loud "bang", accompanied by smoke and countless debris splashing on the lake surface. The noise was quite loud, but there was no big hole in the lake.

"We still need to continue dropping mine bombs," Shen Xia sent another message. "From the bottom of the lake, it looks like the crack is too small, and we still can't get out."

Kuang Zhou gritted his teeth and took out three more thunder bombs from the mustard bag. He came out this time with a total of four mine bombs. The reward for this mission was not even enough to recoup his original investment. He really made a loss-making deal this time.

But Kuang Zhou still knew what was light and what was heavy, so he threw three thunder bombs into the small crack that had been blown up before without hesitation.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise this time, and Kuang Zhou was a little unsteady on the shore. Amidst the smoke, he saw a figure crawling out of the lake, but he was not sure if it was Shen Xia.

"Chen Xia?" Kuang Zhou asked tentatively.

The figure lying on the lake did not respond, and Kuang Zhou was even more panicked. If he rescued a female ghost and came up, would he choose to bite the bullet or directly save her?

"Chen Xia...?" Kuang Zhou took out a dagger from the mustard bag and asked again while slowly moving forward.

"Yes..." The figure lying on the lake replied feebly. Kuang Zhou recognized Shen Xia's voice and stepped forward quickly, but was still startled when he saw Shen Xia.

He has never seen any Tianguan Sect disciple in such a miserable state. The uniforms of disciples of Tianguan Sect are generally waterproof and fireproof, and can be regarded as a small robe issued by Tianguan Sect. Therefore, does that disciple of Tianguan Sect leave no trace at all?

At this moment, Shen Xia was wet all over her body, and the hairpin on her head was stuck into her palm. Kuang Zhou saw that Shen Xia's exposed skin was covered with fine black lines, as if countless small black insects had penetrated into her body. The fine lines roughly looked like runes. In short, Shen Xia's exposed skin was covered with fine black lines. Xia Zhen looked embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Hurry...go back to the shore," Shen Xia said with difficulty, "This lake is about to collapse."

When Kuang Zhou heard this, he didn't care about the difference between men and women. He directly lifted Shen Xia from the ground, put it on his shoulders and ran towards the shore. The cracks caused by the mines were already close to the shore, so Kuang Zhou carried Shen Xia and ran to the shore, which was not far away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Kuang Zhou left the lake with his front feet, there was a huge cracking sound and shaking behind his back feet. Those who didn't know it thought the mountain had collapsed.

After Kuang Zhou put Shen Xia down, he turned around and saw that the lake surface, which was originally full of cracks, was collapsing bit by bit. Although it is strange to describe it this way, it did start from where they landed, and then the lake surface began to crack and disintegrate. Falling into the lake.

The black water that Kuang Zhou had seen before appeared again. This time it was even worse. The air was filled with the smell of rotting corpses, and Kuang Zhou could clearly feel that the water level of the lake was declining.

Shen Xia sat up with her hands on her hands. She was indeed tricked by that woman. The orb given to her in the end seemed to have no problem at all. In fact, when Shen Xia finally swam up, a large amount of resentment was suddenly released from the orb. Shen Xia was surrounded by people.

And the resentment penetrated directly into his body through the wound on his palm. The wound that was originally used to stay awake now became the entrance to the resentment.

Shen Xia had no choice but to pull out the hairpin from her head and stick it into her palm. The hairpin was a defensive weapon that could temporarily resist the influx of resentment into her body.

I don't know if they don't believe in themselves at all, or they are just for protection. Shen Xia can faintly feel that there is an inexplicable curse in her body. It can also be seen through the condition of her skin. The symbols composed of these black fine lines are related to her in the water. The one seen below is very similar.

"Kuang Zhou," Shen Xia said with difficulty, "we have to ask the sect to send someone from the Fu Sect. There are thousands of cursed souls under the water."

Shen Xia smiled palely again: "I have been cursed too."
