The depth of Tiger Roar Lake is at least a hundred ters. After Qin Tian and the other three entered the water, they swam directly towards the bottom center of the lake.
Initially, nothing unusual was discovered, but Qin Tian knew very well that at the bottom of the lake, there was at least sothing emitting a red light.
The location was roughly clear to him, so he swam directly towards that place.
Behind him, Liu Fei'er and the other two followed closely.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Underwater at the lake's bottom, waves surged one after another, and the bottom of the lake started to ripple.
When seen from the shore, Tiger Roar Lake appeared calm and peaceful, but now there were such large waves at the bottom?
There must be sothing wrong.
"Be careful, I estimate that it's not very peaceful down here," Qin Tian transmitted through True Qi to remind Liu Fei'er and the other two.
Finally, after about ten minutes, when they were about fifty ters deep, Qin Tian was the first to see a red light, exactly the glimr he sensed before from the sky.
The four of them sped up and approached directly.
At this ti, the temperature at the lake bottom was already below zero. The four of them used True Qi Shields to protect themselves, releasing True Qi externally; they were safe and sound, and even their clothes remained dry under the shield's protection.
When the four approached the source of the red light, they were all stunned.
This light source actually emitted from an open cave entrance!
This entrance, at over a hundred ters deep in Tiger Roar Lake, pointed upwards, resembling a deep well but was as large as four or five well openings.
The red glow was emanating from inside the cave.
Strangely, at such a depth, the red light, which logically shouldn't be visible from the surface, was faintly discernible when Qin Tian looked down from above the lake.
"My goodness, this cave seems a bit odd... Princess, shall we go down?"
Little Qing slowly landed, standing beside the entrance of the red-light cave, eyes wide open.
Liu Fei'er remained silent, looking at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian frowned, carefully observing if there were any anomalies around the entrance.
He could feel distinct waves of heat emanating from the cave as he approached.
Thus, around the cave, quite a few cold-averse fishes and shrimps gathered.
"The heat from inside implies sothing strange is within; we must go down to check, but everyone should be cautious."
Already at the lake's bottom, Qin Tian certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Blurp... Blurp...
From a distant height ca a faint splash of water disturbance.
Qin Tian, sensing it, frowned imdiately: "It seems soone else is also underwater, so we'll need to hurry; otherwise, others might find this place too. Regardless of whether there are treasures, any findings from our exploration can't be seized by others."
After speaking, Qin Tian dove into the Red Light Cave without hesitation.
The four entered the Red Light Cave, and the illumination and heat from the red light made them sowhat uncomfortable.
Pop!
Pop!
Pop!
Pop!
Piercing through a series of light waves, their descent quickened!
This ti, Qin Tian noticed, there was no more current around!
The coldness was also gone!
They had reached a mysterious underwater world, like one above the water!
"What kind of place is this, where soone uses True Qi energy to separate the water, forming a world at the lake's bottom?"
Upon landing, Liu Fei'er looked around the environnt in amazent.
They stood in this wondrous world, surrounded by dim barren hills, ancient cities; the entire sky, except for the light from the entrance, was entirely dark!
"How was this small world ford? It's so peculiar," Fei Hong remarked.
Qin Tian said nothing, but internally he was equally curious. Clearly, red light had shone here, but upon entering, why was there no visible light source?
Recalling that others might soon discover the Red Light Cave at the bottom, Qin Tian imdiately moved towards the dark distance, saying, "Let's hurry; others are coming."
In the distant dim terrain, unable to discern specifics, Qin Tian felt an intensely eerie atmosphere, raising his alertness to the maximum, forming a mutual cover with Liu Fei'er and the other two as they quickly converged.
"What is this..."
"This... my God..."
"So many..."
From afar, stone pillars dotted the landscape. When Qin Tian and the other three approached, upon closer inspection, they realized these person-high pillars weren't ruins; they were stone tablets, tombstones!
The four of them looked around. Under the dim sky, tombstones sprawled across the hills, hundreds, even thousands!
Liu Fei'er felt a bit queasy, "This is Tiger Roar Lake's bottom; how could there be so many tombstones? Is this a graveyard?"
"But how did a graveyard form underwater?" Little Qing was curious, "Could it be people once lived here? But we saw no one; it feels too dark here to sustain life."
Qin Tian remained silent, walking towards a tombstone, scrutinizing the text. He couldn't comprehend it.
Similarly, he couldn't understand any text on the other surrounding tombstones.
"These are Demon Clan inscriptions, aning those who perished here were likely from the Demon Clan."
At this mont, Liu Fei'er spoke, startling Qin Tian. Liu Fei'er had even learned the Demon Clan script.
"Let's venture further inside, searching for clues of anything unusual."
The four ventured further inward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In this already eerie atmosphere, Qin Tian and the others hadn't walked far when gusts of wind suddenly whistled towards them, making Qin Tian frown imdiately.
"Blood, a bloody scent," Qin Tian said quietly, "Reeking of decay, akin to sothing rotted!"
Liu Fei'er added, "Yes, the sll cos from ahead; let's investigate."
Following the stench's direction, the four quickly leaped over to its origin only to find four people lying between tombstones, deceased!
Not only deceased, but their flesh had also started decaying!
"Ugh..."
Little Qing was the first, unable to hold back, starting to vomit at the sight.
Fei Hong and Liu Fei'er felt similarly nauseous, turning away.
Feihong remarked, "Truly disgusting, how did these four die? It seems their hearts were gouged out."
Qin Tian, however, did not turn away. He had seen such scenes before at Dragon Soul. In a low voice, he said, "These four, their clothing fresh, haven't been dead long, within ten days."
"I observe their storage bags intact, aning they weren't killed for wealth."
"Their eyes were gouged, hearts ripped out; little blood was around... The murderer was skilled, ruthless! This seems a punishnt killing."
Liu Fei'er was taken aback, "Punishnt killing? What for?"
Qin Tian's expression was serious, "Punishing them for trespassing into this graveyard!"
