Chapter 1069 - 1064: Subaqueous Aberration
Xin Lin arrived at the Black Water Lake.
Since President Mu died last time, Xin Lin had never returned to Black Water Lake.
The time had gradually moved into the last month of the lunar year, and some broken ice blocks floated on the surface of the lake.
The entire lake surface was emitting a chilly aura.
In such an environment, the Rainbow Dragon Trout actually thrived well.
Just when Xin Lin thought that the Rainbow Dragon Trout beneath the lake would certainly be inactive, Rong Qiu scattered powder and leapt onto the lake surface.
Although it had hatched, it couldn’t even speak yet.
But Rong Qiu clearly retained a good memory for food.
It remembered that there were incredibly delicious fish in this lake!
Jiu Jiu Jiu Jiu~
Xin Lin didn’t have time to stop it, a ball of Rong Qiu zoomed along the broken ice blocks into the lake.
"Come back, Danzi."
Xin Lin wore a worried expression.
In Rong Qiu’s current state, it’s likely the Rainbow Dragon Trout could swallow it in one gulp.
But the gluttonous Rong Qiu wouldn’t listen at all; within a few beats, it had already dashed into the lake.
It glanced around, trying to find the Rainbow Dragon Trout’s aura.
Gurgle, gurgle, bubbles emerged from the surface of the lake amidst the floating ice fragments.
"Is that a Sniffle Leech?"
Xin Lin looked at the water, seeing the shadows of Sniffle Leech.
The blue bubbles were unhatched Sniffle Leeches.
"I see."
Seeing these insect eggs, Xin Lin’s confusion was finally resolved.
She had been wondering why the fish, shrimp, crabs, or the Rainbow Dragon Trout in Black Water Lake hadn’t been attacked or parasitized by the Sniffle Leeches.
The reason was the water.
The person who placed the Sniffle Leeches must have earlier investigated that Black Water Lake is the source of the Qinshan Water System, and thus left the insect eggs here.
However, "he" overlooked one point: due to the colder weather, most of the water bodies within Qin Mountain had frozen over.
For the insect eggs, freezing would halt their growth and prevent hatching.
So the creatures in the water escaped a disaster from the Sniffle Leeches.
But unlike birds and beasts, Black Water Lake’s waters are alive, flowing to various parts of Qin Mountain.
When they drank the water, they swallowed these insect eggs, and the Sniffle Leech eggs hatched within their bodies, coming to life and only then began to consume their essence.
Due to the movement of the lake waters, there weren’t many insect eggs left in this area.
Who knows if the person who planted the eggs will show up again.
Splash——
At this moment, there was a commotion from the lake water, and Xin Lin looked over.
Rong Qiu was already in the center of the lake.
"My little ancestor, come back quickly."
Xin Lin was getting a headache.
But Rong Qiu, with its eyes full of fish, couldn’t hear Mommy’s words at all.
Xin Lin looked at the lake surface, took a deep breath, gathered Fu Xi’s Energy on her feet, and gave a light stomp with her foot.
Only the sound of stomping was heard, and a small figure appeared amidst the floating ice on the water surface.
With a few leaps, Xin Lin was already in the lake and quickly grabbed the trouble-making Rong Qiu in her hand.
"You little thing, if you want to seek death, at least pick the right occasion. If you alarm the Rainbow Dragon Trout inside..."
Just as Xin Lin finished speaking, she felt a shadow slowly swimming past beneath the not-so-big piece of floating ice she was standing on.
A triangular fish fin appeared above the water surface.
That fish fin... Xin Lin’s eyes narrowed.
The size of this creature’s fish fin was so large, it seemed comparable to the shark fins she had seen before.
Could that be... the Rainbow Dragon Trout?
Xin Lin was instantly dumbfounded, and what made her even more frustrated was that multiple fish fins gradually appeared around her.
