Chapter 125: Tiger Crocodile's Lair
Only Xiao Yangzhou, Li Meng and Chen Zixuan were left on the third floor corridor. The two of them didn't speak, the atmosphere was a bit strange and ambiguous. Sleeping in one room? Thinking about it made Chen Zixuan's face flush with embarrassment, but more so she felt uneasy. Previously, she had bravely agreed to sleep in one room only because she couldn't bear to see Li Meng sleeping on the floor, but now that the moment had arrived, she felt at a loss.
To put it simply, the relationship between the two was still very pure. Although Chen Zixuan had a crush on Li Mang, it wasn't to the point where they slept together. Even if Li Mang was willing, she couldn't accept it.
At this time, Chen Zishan's heart was racing with anxiety, she was thinking, should she refuse? How to refuse? Would Li Meng get angry? Or would he despise her? Apprehensive, uneasy, and shy.
"Creak!" Just as she was thinking, Li Mang had already pushed open the door next to her and lit the lamp, revealing the scene inside the room.
In a different villa's large suite, this room is actually not big. With a bed, a table and a sofa, the whole room is almost filled up.
Chen Zixuan's heart was pounding, but seeing Li Meng had already gone in, she felt it wasn't a big deal and could only grit her teeth and follow him in woodenly.
A narrow room, with two people standing in it, feels somewhat crowded. The distance between the two is less than a meter, and they can feel each other's breath on their skin.
A comfortable breath made Chen Xiaojie blush and palpitate, but also had a dizzying effect. The oppressive spiritual energy on Li Meng's body was indeed an aphrodisiac for ordinary women.
A faint scent wafted into Li Mang's nostrils, making his body feel slightly unusual, but he still had his composure. He walked over to the sofa and sat down, saying: "I'll be going out for a bit later, you sleep!"
"So late, where are you going?" Chen Zixuan suddenly returned to reality from her nervous state, looking at Li Meng with a puzzled face.
"This can't be told to you." Li Mang shook his head, actually he was going to explore the tiger python cave at the bottom of Gui Hu. Although what happened today with Fan Yi had little to do with Gui Hu, it still reminded him that even if one tiger python was solved, it didn't mean that Gui Hu was completely safe. What if there's another one below? Or maybe some other kind of danger, no matter what, Li Mang must thoroughly solve this problem this time, he can't leave a hidden trouble for the mountain villa.
Chen Zixuan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, she knew a bit about Li Meng's identity, an ability user from a powerful organization, being mysterious was normal.
Losing a topic, Chen Zixuan couldn't just stand there woodenly, so she walked to the bedside and sat down, burying her head in her chest. A pair of jade hands intertwined and fiddled with each other.
No need to sleep together. This made Chen Zixuan let out a sigh of relief. But for some reason, she felt a little lost again, and this thought made her face hot, not daring to look directly at Li Mang. She took off her shoes and carefully crawled into the quilt, only letting her eyes show outside.
Li Meng leaned back on the sofa, not looking in the direction of the bed. Whether he was a gentleman or not, Li Meng didn't know himself, but he dared to loudly claim that he was a man. A stunning beauty lay on the bed beside him, and if Li Meng said he had no thoughts about it, his orientation would make people anxious.
Time passed quietly, and Chen Zishan actually fell asleep amidst her anxiety. She slept very soundly and peacefully, with no signs of the tension she had felt before sleep, and even a faint smile played on her lips. It was clear that she trusted and relied on Li Mang, otherwise in this environment, no matter how tired she was, she wouldn't have fallen asleep so dazedly. She was indeed an intelligent woman.
"This woman..." Li Meng shook his head and smiled, then looked at her again before quietly opening the front window and jumping out silently. He stepped on the night color and quickly arrived at the Ghost Lake Dam.
The night at Guihu Lake is very peaceful, with some frogs croaking by the lake and insects chirping in the surrounding forests, blending together to create a purely natural rural nocturne that is pleasant to hear.
Today is the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar. The night sky is clear, with a full moon hanging high in the air. The moonlight is abundant, and the lake surface is sparkling and very beautiful.
" Splash...... " Li Meng stepped onto the water's surface and arrived at the center of the lake, finding the approximate location of the tiger turtle's lair. Without thinking much, he dove in headfirst.
After entering the water, Li Mang found that although there was also refraction of light in the water, it was very dark. Now his feeling is not bad, but it's hard to find the location of the tiger turtle cave accurately in the darkness. After all, some time has passed, and the lake bottom is all muddy, which is not easy to search.
With a thought, Li Meng's hand appeared with a flashlight, which was still purchased when he caught ghosts in Leming Mountain and had been kept in Zhao Yang Mountain. Now that Li Meng is the mountain god of the first column of mountains, he can take things out or put them in without going inside, even larger items are no problem, let alone a small flashlight.
This flashlight is waterproof, but not a professional underwater light, although it shines brightly outside, the lighting effect in the water is only average, fortunately, it can still illuminate several meters ahead, borrowing this light to search for memories in his mind, Li Mang quickly found his destination.
Li Meng didn't rush to dig down, but instead first took out a bamboo pole from the Zhāoyáo Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, probing downwards. At first, he inserted it into hard rock, which clearly wasn't where the entrance was; if there was even a slight deviation, the cave opening couldn't be found, and randomly digging would just be a waste of effort.
After trying several times, Li Mang finally found a familiar feeling. He felt that the bamboo pole had inserted into a cave, and there was not even any muddy water below, which could be distinguished by feeling alone whether it was water or not.
"Unscientific underground cave." Li Mang secretly admired in his heart, if it were a normal situation, the silt above would definitely sink into the hole below, after all, the weight of the silt is greater than that of water, and each grain of sand can slide freely without any constraints.
But many mysterious things have gone away, Gu Wu, Xiu Zhen, Yi Neng and other things that cannot be explained by modern science can all be referred to as superpowers or supernatural phenomena.
He floated to the surface to catch his breath, and Li Mang sank into the lake again. This time he recklessly dove down into the mud, following the bamboo pole downwards. Although the mud gave him a lot of bad feelings, Li Mang still seriously experienced the feeling of being a loach.
More than ten meters of silt depth, Li Mang didn't spend too much time, he followed the bamboo pole and drilled down with all his might, very quickly. After all, the time he could hold his breath was limited, and he didn't carry an oxygen bottle with him, so he didn't dare to delay for too long.
"Whoosh!"
Li Mang, who had grown accustomed to the muddy environment, suddenly felt his body lighten, and he found himself plummeting into a space filled only with lake water. Although there were still large amounts of mud floating around him, Li Mang risked opening his eyes despite the danger of getting them injured.
"Hiss......" Unaware of what he saw, Li Mang immediately inhaled a breath of cool air, but the next moment, the muddy water still drilled into his eyes, the stinging pain causing his eyes to instinctively narrow, and for a moment, he lost his sight.
