Elves' Heavenly Mission

Chapter 218 The Secret of the Lake

Digging the steps is not an easy task. According to Yunning's estimate, with the speed of the slow-witted beast and the fire dinosaur, the ten-meter steps may not be able to be dug in a few days.

Now that they have dug up the first layer, it means that this method is feasible.

When you come back next time, let them continue to chisel in this way.

At this time, Yunning is going to take them down the mountain to set up a camp.

Now that it has been decided to live on this island, it is essential to build a house.

This island is different from that of Robinson. There is only one mountain on this island, and it is still a volcano. Therefore, it is impossible for Yunning to live in a cave like Robinson.

You can only build a wooden house by yourself.

It is impossible for ordinary trainers to build houses and play outside, so Yun Ning does not have tools such as saws and axes in his backpack. If he wants to build a wooden house, he still has to rely on the power of the elves.

Simply, the fire dinosaur proved its strength in the action just now, and the efficiency of using its claws to chop trees should not be low.

At this time, the Fire Dinosaur didn't know that Yun Ning had already marked the attention of his claws.

……

When Yun Ning and his party arrived around the lake, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The characteristic of the tropics is that the gap between day and night is not particularly large all year round. Even in summer, it still gets dark very early.

What's more, it's not summer yet.

It was only mid-April when Yunning encountered the pirates, and it was only the end of April until now.

May isn't here yet.

Therefore, Yunning had to simply set up a camp before 6 o'clock.

This is not an anime. In the anime, there must be an open space beside the river where no trees grow, where humans can rest.

In reality, the closer to the water source, the denser the trees. Many trees do not even grow on the shore, but grow directly on the shore, because the shore is already full of trees and cannot be crowded.

This kind of crowding does not mean that it cannot be stuffed in, but because the trees on the bank are too tall and dense, so that the newly grown trees cannot be exposed to sunlight, and eventually they can only die because they cannot photosynthesize.

"Here, let the Fire Dinosaur use sparks first, and then the Slowbeast connects the water gun. After the trunk becomes brittle, let the Fire Dinosaur use its sharp claws to split the tree."

After Yun Ning simply selected the location of the camp, he ordered the slow beast and fire dinosaur.

As for Dianlong, just watch from the sidelines.As the strongest combat force in the team, he must maintain his combat status at all times.

"just!"

The Fire Dinosaur nodded and fired sparks at the target tree.

A moment later, it was Slowlybeast's water gun.

All of this is easy to say, but difficult to do. Tropical trees contain a lot of water inside. It takes a lot of time for fire dinosaurs to burn a tree.

Moreover, their task is not a tree, but a forest near here.

In addition to making room for Yunning's camp, they also need to collect wood for Yunning's wooden house.

It is impossible to complete the task today, so we need to free up an open space for Yun Ning to spread out.

"Milu~"

While Yunning was directing the dumb beast and the fire dinosaur to work, the electric dragon swayed to Yunning's side, pulled Yunning's clothes, and was about to take Yunning to the lake.

"what happened?"

Yun Ning asked with a puzzled face.

"Milu~"

Dianlong pulled Yun Ning's clothes with his right hand, gesticulating left and right, but after realizing that Yun Ning couldn't understand, he gave up and pulled Yun Ning to the lake.

"Milu!"

After reaching the lake, Dianlong put his right hand on his hips, pointed at the lake with his left hand, and winked at Yunning from time to time.

How about it?Ben found the big news, right?
"This is……"

Yun Ning widened his eyes, looking at the scene in front of him:
"Elves?"

I saw all kinds of elves living in the lake in the middle of the island. In addition to the big tongue clam and little sea lion, there are also starfish and toothfish.

Moreover, what surprised Yun Ning the most was that these elves were all sea elves!

Although everyone is a water-type elf, some water-type elves are used to living in freshwater lakes, such as Wubo and Lianyetongzi, and some water-type elves are used to living in sea water, such as agate jellyfish and little sea lions.

Although the elves in fresh water can live normally in sea water, they are always uncomfortable and will try their best to return to the fresh water they are used to.

Therefore, few people will see the water spirits in the ocean in the rivers and lakes of the mainland.

However, now Yun Ning actually saw an elf living in the sea in the lake on the island!

Yun Ning hurriedly bent down, took a spoonful of water from the lake, and took a sip.

It is indeed fresh water.

That being the case, how did these elves come to this lake?
Landing from a gentle place in the sea, and then climbing to this lake bit by bit?
How can this be?Even if they have the ability to do so, before coming here, who knew there would be such a big lake here?
Moreover, these sea elves ran to freshwater lakes to live when they were full?

It doesn’t matter to come to play once in a while and experience different water concentrations. It seems that human beings like to go to the sauna for nothing, but this does not mean that human beings can accept living in the sauna room all the time!
And according to Yunning's observation, this lake should be the lowest point of this island.

In other words, all the rivers on the island flow into this lake, and this lake is not connected to the sea through rivers.

"That's weird."

Yun Ning touched his chin, watching the elves playing in the lake in a daze.

How did they come to this lake?
"Unless...the bottom of this lake is connected to the sea!"

Only this explanation, otherwise there is no way to explain why these elves appear here.

Because the concentration of sea water is greater than that of fresh water, sea water will sink below the fresh water, while fresh water will float above the sea water.

It is precisely because of this that what Yun Ning drank was still fresh water.

This is easy to understand, as if you soak a glass of sugar water, stir it thoroughly and let it stand for an hour, you will find that the upper layer of the sugar water tastes very light, but the bottom is very sweet.

Even a glass of water cannot achieve the same concentration, let alone lakes and sea water.

Yun Ning still remembers that at the junction of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, the sea level is not the same.And the color of sea water is not the same.

The impact of billions of years of fusion still cannot make the seawater at the junction merge with each other, so it is easy to understand that the freshwater lake floats on the seawater.

"Just, what's under this lake?"

Yun Ning suddenly found that he couldn't understand the island anymore. It seemed that the whole island was hiding a huge secret.
