I'm back again...

Yuyan dived to the bottom of the lake and looked at the ancient Yao village covered with sediments at the bottom of the dark green water. She opened her mouth and spit out a circle of bubbles.

Yes, it should have been discovered long ago.

But subconsciously, she rejected and denied that she had been here before.

The water at the bottom of the lake was so cold that she shivered all over.

She just floated quietly in front of the Yao village at the bottom of the lake. She didn't know how long it had been. Finally, Hei Xiazi dragged her to the surface of the water.

"Arya? What's wrong?"

Looking at Yuyan with dull eyes, Hei Xiazi was indescribably worried. He gently patted her face with his hand, trying to wake her up.

The blur in his eyes gradually became clear, and finally focused on Hei Xia Zi's face.

"fine."

Yuyan swallowed and didn't want to say more.

The fat man scratched his head and asked jokingly, "Auntie, you haven't been here before, have you?"

Unexpectedly, Yuyan did not answer this question, which was a disguised consent.

"Damn, you really came to visit his aunt?!" The fat man was shocked. He had never seen Pan Ma and didn't know that Pan Ma was an old acquaintance of Yuyan.

Wu Xie, who had just recovered his breath, laughed and said, "Fatty, you just found out?"

The fat man was so angry that he wanted to throw water on Wu Xie after being ridiculed, but Zhang Qiling, who floated up, splashed water on his face.

Wiping the water off his face, the fat man looked at the thing thrown onto the raft and cursed, "Damn it, little brother, you are also helping Wu... Holy shit? What the hell is this thing?"

Yuyan also looked over. It looked like a dead animal the size of a mountaineering bag, but it was surrounded by a bunch of rotten and blackened tentacles. After being swollen, it looked like a ball.

Wu Xie looked at this thing and was so disgusted that he swam more than a meter away.

Yuyan was also splashed with some of the liquid, but it was only a little bit on her arm and was quickly washed off.

The fat man scrubbed his face frantically and cursed, "Brother, damn it, you really have the guts to do this, what disgusting thing are you doing!"

Hei Xia Zi would not miss any opportunity to cause more trouble. He nodded to Yu Yan and said, "That's right!"

Zhang Qiling didn't care. He just glanced at Hei Xia Zi and immediately lay down on the raft.

The blind man, who was glared at, quickly hid beside Yuyan, accusing Zhang Qiling of glaring at him while dodging.

Yuyan patted Hei Xia Zi's arm and told him to stop making trouble.

Then he turned his attention to Zhang Qiling on the raft.

He just pressed his hand on the thing, and immediately, the sticky liquid inside was squeezed out and flowed along the raft onto the lake.

Yu Yan was forced to move away and retreated to an area where the liquid had not spread. Then she saw Zhang Qiling tear off the "tentacles" above and throw them into the water.

The fat man over there seemed to have discovered something and waved his hand to Yuyan and the others to come over.

Yuyan pushed away the surface layer of water and swam over, only to find that the "tentacles" were actually water plants.

And that ball-like thing was actually an old, rotten and blackened cowhide bag.

“What is this...?” The fat man was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Qiling took over, "Where I dived, there was a fence with a lot of bags and other debris stuck on it. There were also rifles, bags, and tents. I only fished one out."

Almost instantly, Wu Xie realized that his previous guess was completely correct.

But the fat man, who hadn't seen what was happening below with his own eyes, still didn't believe it. "Fence? Damn, is there really a village at the bottom of this lake?"

The suspected people all looked at the fat man. After staring at each other for two seconds, the fat man finally believed the fact. With a look of surprise on his face, he shouted that he wanted to go down and take a look.

Of course, I was dissuaded in the end.

Looking at the bag on the raft, the fat man began to open the bag anxiously.

But the bag was too big and the raft was too small. The fat man tried to open the bag but failed and almost overturned the raft.

I thought about going back to the shore and opening the bag first, but if there is something in the bag that cannot be seen by others, it will be troublesome.

They had to leave only one fat man on the raft, and the remaining four people stabilized the raft in four different directions.

The quality of the bag was even better than Yuyan had imagined. The thin layer of rotten cowhide was quite tough.

Turning the bag over, the rusty iron-like buckle was completely unusable.

There was no other way, so the fat man had to take out a sickle and cut open the bag.

The outermost layer was a ball of almost rotten cotton wool, and underneath it were some of the women's daily necessities.

There was a tea can inside that made a sound when shaken, but it was rusted.

The fat man wanted to use the sickle as a hammer to hit the bottom of the jar to open it, but this was too much pain for the raft to bear.

He had no choice but to stroke the can against his chest while swimming on his back, just like an otter opening a shell.

Soon, the bottom of the jar was broken, and the black stuff that poured out made the fat man exclaim in surprise.

It was a small piece of iron similar to the one found under Zhang Qiling’s bed!

But it is just similar. This piece is smaller. Although it is rusty, it is relatively smooth and clean, and the patterns on it are still clearly visible.

Of course, this small piece of iron is not a whole piece, but just a fragment of one or several large iron objects.

The five people's equipment could no longer support them to go down and salvage the unknown mystery.

Yuyan does have the ability, but it seems she doesn't have the energy.

So I could only use a nylon rope and a float to make a mark, and then return to the shore to rest.

After getting ashore, Yun Cai was frightened by Wu Xie's appearance and quickly dealt with him.

After finishing the work, Yuncai began to wonder what they had caught.

It was nothing. Yuyan gave it a brief description and told Yuncai not to look at it. It was indeed disgusting.

The sun was very strong and my clothes dried very quickly.

While eating wild fruits, the fat man asked Agui if he knew about the flooded village.

Agui was confused. "I don't know. I never knew there was a village down there."

Wu Xie, holding a wild fruit in his mouth, asked Agui to think about it again, even if it was a very ancient legend.

But Agui still shook his head.

"I also find it strange. We all know there is a lake here, but it still doesn't have a name, and the elderly don't often mention it."

The fat man was unwilling to give up and continued to ask, "Could this be the old village that you mentioned was burned by the wildfire? On the surface, it says that your old village was burned in Yangjiao Mountain, but in fact it was submerged in the lake, so you can't see any trace of it on the ground?"

Agui still shook his head. "It's too long ago. The legend of the burned-down old village dates back to the time of the Ming Emperor. I really can't say if there's any connection between the two."

The fat man rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go into the water again, but was stopped by Yuyan.

"If we want to thoroughly investigate the ancient village underwater, we must use professional diving equipment. We can only go back first and use our connections to get the equipment shipped here."
