The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 2 Wanton
A brief pause.

"Boom!"

First, a ray of light passed through the sky and earth, followed by a rumbling thunder.

After a moment of silence.

The wind started to blow hard again.

The surface of the lake was covered with ripples, like boiling water.

The lotus leaves rustled, some flowers were blown away, and some leaves were broken.

The dark clouds were hanging lower and lower.

There's going to be a heavy rainstorm.

"Boom!"

Another loud thunder.

Finally, the prelude is complete.

"Snapped!"

The rain was heavy.

After a few drops of water, the progress suddenly accelerated.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Countless raindrops fell one after another, hitting the lake, falling in the wilderness, and scattering among the mountains in the distance.

Interweaving between heaven and earth, this picture is refreshing and vivid.

The surface of the water was already in a mess.

More lotus flowers were cleaned, and the lotus leaves were rolled up and scattered.

The lake water near the shore was mixed with mud.

It was churning and turbid.

This is the power of nature!
……

Ding Lin was still lying there.

The lotus leaves above his head had already been blown away, and he looked at it quietly with half-open eyes.

The bottom of the lake was still as calm as ever.

Only the light was dim.

Just like any other night.

……

The rain was heavier and longer than expected, and the torrential rain seemed to turn the entire world into a water world.

Ding Lin hid under the water.

Listen and watch quietly.

Finally, at dawn on the third day, the rain stopped.

The clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and the sky cleared after the rain.

The morning breeze blew away the last bit of haze.

Then the sun smiled.

Ding Lin swam out of the water with his tail wagging. The golden morning light was shining in front of him. The water surface had returned to calm. After the rainstorm, the water level had risen a lot, covering up most of the mess on the lake. Only a few broken lotus flowers and leaves and water plants were left floating, rotating and moving in the direction of the ripples.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the northeast corner of the lake.

Ding Lin turned his head and saw that near the water inlet of the small lake, the water surface was churning violently, and large amounts of turbid muddy water were constantly pouring up from the bottom of the lake.

"Snapped!"

A huge tail flipped out of the water.

Then, the muddy water surging upwards was suddenly mixed with blood red, and the giant creature struggling in the mud was seriously injured.

Ding Lin's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously looked towards the stream upstream. The rain had stopped, and the water level in the ditch was slowly dropping.

Apparently, this giant creature swam over here taking advantage of the rising water level caused by the recent rainstorm.

Suddenly, a sense of uneasiness arose in my heart.

After a short while.

The giant's struggle weakened and gradually stopped.

The lake returned to calm.

Ding Lin's eyes flashed and he dived back into the water. He swam carefully in the direction of the giant creature, stopped at a place not too far away, and observed silently.

bottom of the lake.

A huge black carp, about four or five feet long and several feet wide, lay helplessly, its gills slightly open and closed, with a several-foot-long cut on its upturned belly that almost ripped it open. Blood was still flowing out, but very little.

Ding Lin blew out a string of bubbles and somehow felt a lot more relaxed.

If nothing unexpected happens, this black carp will not live long.

……

A whole day.

The herring's breathing became weaker and weaker.

Ding Lin watched silently.

By the time night fell, the bluefish was almost only breathing heavily.

The weather is a little unusual.

After such a heavy rain, the moon was still invisible. The herring seemed to have completely stopped moving.

Small fishes and shrimps have already jumped and played on his body.

That's when.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind.

The moon finally came out.

The moonlight seems to be weaker than usual.

but.

There are also weak ones.

A beam of light was falling on the big bluefish.

This giant creature that was supposed to be dead suddenly moved again.

It trembled slightly at first.

Next comes the body.

The small fish and shrimps that were ready to feast on the food felt the noise and scattered in fright.

The scattered pupils focused again.

His body trembled again.

Then the big black carp gathered its remaining strength, swung its tail violently, and rose into the air.

up!
"Wow!"

The huge body broke through the water.

Finally, the moonlight was no longer an obstacle.

The big black carp was shaking with pain all over, but it tried hard to regulate its breathing. Then, with a strange rhythm, a strange phenomenon occurred.

A strange twist.

The moonlight began to refract abnormally, gathering above the big bluefish, then turning into an extremely fine and thin mist and falling into the fish's mouth.

This is……

Ding Lin's eyes suddenly widened.

This scene will never be forgotten.

His mind went blank for a moment, and then he became so excited that his scales began to tremble.

monster?
This big black carp must have become a spirit!
Heal your wounds with moonlight.

this world……

this world!

……

It took a lot of effort for Ding Lin to calm down again. He looked at the big black fish bathing in the moonlight, and the excitement in his eyes faded, with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

What will happen next when such a big and intelligent fish is mixed in this small lake?

But the initial uneasiness in my heart became more magnified.

Overthinking without intention.

Ding Lin began to observe carefully, and he found that the absorption of moonlight changed with the breathing of the big black carp.

With every breath, the moonlight gathers and disperses.

Or is there any other way to get luck?

But Ding Lin had no way of knowing, all he could do was to try to figure out the breathing posture.

frequency.

Severity.

Slow down.

Ding Lin slowly immersed himself in it.

……

a moment.

The big bluefish suddenly stopped moving, and the moonlight that was not completely swallowed dissipated.

Ding Lin also came back to his senses.

It was pitch black all around, and before I knew it, it was already dawn.

The moon sets.

The day is coming.

In the darkness, Ding Lin quietly hid his body. He dived into the water and swam as far as he could to the other side of the lake away from the big black carp. After thinking for a while, he slowly pushed his head forward. When the sun came out again, he finally pushed open a small piece of mud and sand and hid his body deeply.

The big black carp was still floating on the water, looking at the rising sun, feeling a sense of joy of surviving a disaster. After all, it was only an external injury, although it was almost fatal at the time, but after being nourished by the moonlight in the middle of the night, it has been basically stabilized, but it still looks terrifying.

in the sun.

In the small lake, water plants sway gently, fish swim and shrimps run, it is as leisurely and comfortable as usual.

Such a body of water.

The big bluefish looked back, its eyes full of excitement and greed.

then……

"Wow!"

The big black carp swung its tail violently, and its body was as fast as an arrow. The next moment, its body appeared more than three meters away, blood spurting out. A grass carp several feet long was bitten in the waist by it, and was cut into two parts without any resistance. The huge fish mouth opened and closed, and the two rows of fine and sharp teeth like saws twisted it, and the grass carp was swallowed up in a few bites.
