Chapter 280: Doubts
Lin Qingqing glanced at Rong Zhao suspiciously, but seeing that he was calm and composed, she put her doubts aside and continued with her own things.
After a while, Rong Zhao was ready to go into the lake. He took out the necessary water-repellent beads and prepared to go into the water with Lin Qingqing.
"Hurry up, if we use the water-repellent beads we can only move freely underwater for half an hour." Rong Zhao reminded Lin Qingqing again, and the latter nodded heavily to show that she understood clearly.
"The Youbiquan Lake is too large. Senior Brother has two water-repellent beads left, one for exploration and one for snatching treasures. With only one water-repellent bead, half an hour is not enough for exploration. How about this, although I am not a good swimmer, fortunately I can hold my breath, so half an incense stick of water is not a problem. Plus, it happens to be a sunny day today and the lake water is slightly warmer. Why don't we swim around the periphery first to confirm the approximate location of the treasure, and then use the water-repellent beads to confirm it. What do you think, Senior Brother?" Lin Qingqing suddenly suggested.
After listening to Lin Qingqing's words, Rong Zhao looked at her with a higher regard. At first, he also considered making this plan, but he was afraid that she could not stand the temperature of the lake water. After all, she caught a cold yesterday and was only slightly better today. He was inevitably a little hesitant about such a consideration. But since she said so, her body must have improved a lot, so he might as well give it a try. If there is an emergency on the way, he can make other plans. After thinking for a moment, Rong Zhao replied to her:
"You are a man of ideas, Nuo."
The scene came to Youbiquan Lake, and the two stepped on the lake surface to feel the temperature of the lake water. During the day, the water of Youbiquan Lake was not as cold as at night. Perhaps when the sun first rose, it dispelled the cold air on the lake surface, and then gradually, they felt a warm current coming from under their feet.
"This temperature is suitable for going into the water." Rong Zhao said.
After Rong Zhao gave the order to go into the water, he put away the water-repellent beads, took a deep breath, and quickly dived into the water with Lin Qingqing. They had enough air in their bodies to swim around the center of the lake while holding their breath. There were two tasks for this dive, which were to adapt to the temperature underwater and to measure the safe distance between them and the monster.
Rong Zhao's prediction was very accurate. Just after he finished a circle, he could see Lin Qingqing's face flushed from panting. Rong Zhao quickly pulled her upstream.
As soon as she emerged, Lin Qingqing greedily absorbed the air from the outside. Holding her breath for half an incense stick was more difficult than she had expected. Fortunately, she did not choke on the water, otherwise she would have lost face in front of Rong Zhao again.
After resting for a while, Lin Qingqing thought that she had to strike while the iron was hot, otherwise the warm-up she had just done would be in vain, so she said to Rong Zhao:
"Okay, big brother, let's continue."
Rong Zhao nodded and took out the water-repellent beads.
After going around in a circle just now, Rong Zhao has roughly measured the locations of monsters and treasures. Now that he is going into the water again, he has to determine how much his predictions differ from the actual ones.
Unlike when they were circling, this time they needed to go deeper. The light was naturally not as bright as when they were in shallow water, and the water-repellent beads were only effective within a certain range and would be ineffective beyond that range.
With this in mind, Rong Zhao stretched out his hand to Lin Qingqing, motioning her to put her hand on top of his. This way, the two of them could fit tightly together and both be within the range of the water-repellent beads.
Lin Qingqing was a little hesitant for a moment. It was not that she was being pretentious, but she didn't know since when Rong Zhao always looked at her with strange eyes intentionally or unintentionally, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
But when she thought that they were now grasshoppers tied to the same boat, and would prosper together and suffer together, Lin Qingqing had to compromise with Rong Zhao's request and slowly extended her hand under Rong Zhao's burning gaze.
The moment their hands touched, Rong Zhao's heart skipped a beat. He held his breath, his heart trembled, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously, as if they had known each other before, and it was natural and smooth.
