The flow of time in this place is different. Actually, there is no difference between day and night. It was always dark and gloomy.
There were extremely hard stone walls on all four sides, and dark clouds hung in the sky. The only thing moving in this silence was an open lake.
People had dived to the bottom of the lake to investigate, but nothing had reappeared. Everything drowned in the lake.
After that, the people here did not dare to descend so easily. If they had no other choice, they would only swim briefly in the lake and return in less than fifteen minutes.
No one knew what was in the lake, but they were sure there were fish in it. Otherwise, they would all starve to death.
Xue Fanxin understood how strange this place was from Gu Jinyuan, especially that lake. He felt it was not simple.
He had no idea how long he would be stuck here. The food stock was limited, so they had to go out and look for food.
As the only source of food, they needed to study the lake thoroughly.
Ye Jiushang entered seclusion. Other than Xue Fanxin, no one was allowed to enter her room. Even he would not casually go there, lest he affect his cultivation.
He moved to another room to live with everyone. He hung the cloth curtains and isolated the small space, making it convenient for him and Fuyun to rest or change clothes.
After resolving this matter, everyone was tired. They tidied their beds in a medium-sized room and slept soundly, no matter if the sky collapsed outside.
While they were sleeping, the people from the four big families were in a state of depression. Although they had exchanged some items for food and ate relatively complete food, they realized that there was not much food left in their hands. This means that they will soon starve again.
“It can't continue. Food on Xue Fanxin's side should be restricted. We can't count on him. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves.”
“We all know and understand this, but the fish in the lake are very difficult to catch. Our people were unlucky in two days. If this continues, sooner or later we will starve to death.”
“By the way, we can't find anything from that stone tablet. Let's go to the lake tomorrow to see and think about how to catch fish. We can't just wait for our death.”
"About that stone tablet, do you think Xue Fanxin might be right?"
"Impossible. What fifty people? What games? How could such a ridiculous thing happen? Don't believe that loathsome girl.”
When Third Master Xue thought of Xue Fanxin, he was furious. Especially after filling his stomach, he really wanted to kill his way to Gu Jinyuan's stone house and destroy it.
But when he thought of the young man, he lacked courage.
On Yi Fentian's side, people were also dissatisfied and complained about Xue Fanxin and the others, especially Yi Fentian. Every time he thought about his indifferent attitude, and his aloof gaze, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.
Once he left this place, he would definitely use all means to snatch Xin'er back.
This woman originally belonged to him. If not for Ye Jiushang appearing and taking advantage of this situation, how could Xin'er…
"Xin'er, you'll be mine sooner or later."
Yi Fentian still did not know how much today's decision would affect him in the future. It will destroy his world.
But this is all in the future.
Xue Fanxin woke up full of energy. His entire body was filled with vitality as if he had been injected with adrenaline.
Not only Xue Fanxin, but Gu Jinyuan and the others also felt the same way. Even Ah Wei, whose arm was injured, looked alive.
The recovery rate of his injuries was very fast. He had just bandaged it yesterday, and today, it was scabbed.
Xue Fanxin was worried that something had happened to their bodies. He examined it carefully and realized that everything was as good as a bull. They are not in pain or pain at all.
"Surprise, what's going on?"
"Since everyone's body is fine, you don't need to think too much," Gu Jinyuan said with a smile. His smile made one feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.
“Forget it, let's not think about it. When Ah Jiu comes out of seclusion, I will ask her, or I will observe her for a while.”
Xue Fanxin put away her thoughts. He adjusted his state of mind and said with a smile, “Everything, quickly get up. We're going fishing today.”
Gu Jinyuan felt a headache coming. He said solemnly, “Fish on the lake is very difficult to catch. Ah Wei and I haven't caught anything in three days. We tried all sorts of methods, but there was no point. The fish are very smart. They escape from us all the time.”
“We should try it. Otherwise, we won't have any immediate food. Besides, I have to make sure that the four great families do not starve to death, so I can only rely on that lake. Everyone, prepare. We'll leave later. We will study the lake and the fish in it properly.”
He wanted to see how fast the fish in the lake was.
After Xue Fanxin prepared, she led everyone out. It's not really considered out. He just went to the lake not far away.
The four great families all gathered here, busy with different activities. They fish or swim and swim in the lake.
From time to time, they will dive into the water, but they will soon reappear to the surface. They did not dare to stay in the lake for too long.
When they saw Xue Fanxin and the others, they all looked at him strangely. Some of them even mocked him coldly, especially Third Master Xue, who was the loudest.
“Yo, doesn't the Ninth Empress have a lot of food? Why do you need to come here to fish? Is it because you don't have much food left and have no choice but to come here to get it?”
"Without food, I want to see how you can still be arrogant in the future."
"Do you believe that I will ask someone to kick you into the lake?" Xue Fanxin's warning silenced Third Master Xue. He did not dare to say a word.
No one spoke up unless they wanted to be kicked into the lake.
The two Spirit Transformation experts from before were still lying on the bed. They were hurt pretty badly and scared.
The lake looked calm, but it was actually filled with turbulence. Everyone knows how scary that is. Even Spirit Transformation experts had been kicked so pitifully. If it was them, they probably wouldn't have been able to survive.
Xue Fanxin hated the way the four great families oppressed the weak and feared the strong, but she did not bother to waste time with these people.
He turned his attention to the lake and crouched down in a deserted place. Stretching his hands out to the lake, he stared at the surface for a long time.
There are some fish in the lake. Sometimes, people could see them swimming, but they could not catch them.
In addition, the fish is not afraid of humans and even dare to swim by the lake. They were swimming there casually as if they were provoking people on land.
"This is so weird!"
“What's weird about Electric Water Eel?” Little Lei said. He arrogantly sat on the ground and threw rocks into the water, with every stone hitting the fish.
After five throws, four fish were beaten by him and no longer dared to swim or fish.
After a while, all the fish in the lake disappeared. There is no shadow of a fish.
