…
Saburo Ohara was just the leader of a club in Sapporo City. He might be more familiar with the grassland, but it was absolutely impossible for him to appear here often.
Then, for the matters on this grassland, he had at most heard about it.
If even Saburo Ohara knew about it, then it meant that many other people knew about it. Perhaps Qin Fang and the others were not the only ones who saw that scene. Someone had already seen it.
But as a result, there was no doubt that no one could find out why such a strange scene appeared on this Lake Heart Island.
If it weren't for this, this place would have been targeted long ago, and no one would have come to occupy it. After all, that magnificent building complex was not an ordinary place at first glance. At least, the Hokkaido Shrine would definitely take action.
But Qin Fang and the others had also seen it just now. The Lake Heart Island was simply a deserted island. There was nothing there, so they really had no interest in it.
Moreover, the area of the Lake Heart Island was not large, and it was located in the center of the lake deep in the grassland. It was difficult to even develop it, let alone live there.
Such a discovery surprised Qin Fang and the others. At the same time, they were also filled with a very strange feeling. They always felt that this island was too strange.
"Anyway, I think we should go to this Lake Heart Island to take a look … I always feel that the scene I saw was not so simple!"
The few of them were silent for a while, and Qin Fang couldn't help but express his opinion.
Although what people saw with their eyes might not necessarily be true, and it was likely that they would be deceived by their own eyes, Qin Fang felt that this island was very strange and problematic.
Although he had seen it quite clearly with the binoculars just now, and he could almost see a few trees on the island very clearly, he still felt very uneasy if he did not set foot on the Lake Heart Island to take a look himself.
"I will go with you …"
Almost as soon as Qin Fang said this, Monk Wukong immediately expressed his opinion. Obviously, he also had the same idea as Qin Fang.
"I will go too!"
Ji Xiang was also a person who wanted to join in the fun. In addition, he was also very curious, so he immediately expressed his opinion.
As for Song Qingshan, although he didn't say anything, he also took a step forward. His meaning was very clear. The four of them had seen such a scene, but now it suddenly disappeared. If they didn't solve this mystery themselves, they probably wouldn't even be able to sleep.
"Young Master Qin, are you really going there?"
At this time, Hattori Sanzang and Qin Fang's group had also caught up. They didn't see anything like Qin Fang's group, but when they saw the lake, they naturally recalled Saburo Ohara's warning. In addition to the strange behavior of Qin Fang's group, they couldn't help but ask.
They weren't fools. Although Qin Fang and the others didn't say anything, they knew that there was something wrong with the island in the middle of the lake. Or rather, Qin Fang and the others had discovered something and wanted to go there to investigate!
However, the problem was that Qin Fang currently had seven people, and the strongest were naturally Qin Zi and Hattori Sanzang. However, the two of them did not see anything.
"You guys stay here first. We'll come back after taking a look …"
In fact, Qin Fang planned to go alone. This way, it would be more convenient for him to come and go by himself. Even if there was any danger, Qin Fang could easily take care of himself.
However, now that the others were so determined, and they were all companions, Qin Fang couldn't be too unreasonable. He couldn't refuse, so he could only go with everyone.
Qin Fang and the others could leave, but Qin Zi and Hattori Sanzang had to stay. There was still a cherry blossom to look after.
Hattori Sanzang had a broken wrist. Although the wound had healed, it wasn't very convenient for him to go into the water. He couldn't go even if he wanted to.
Qin Zi wanted to go, but as a woman, it was really a little inappropriate for her to go into the water with a group of men … Although Qin Fang hadn't accepted this female slave from Fusang, he didn't want to lose out too much.
Therefore, he directly left the three of them to wait while Qin Fang and the others went into the water and went straight to the island in the middle of the lake.
Fortunately, the four of them weren't landlubbers. Their swimming skills were quite good, and with the support of powerful true energy, a mere one or two kilometers of water was really not a problem for them.
However, once they went into the water, Qin Fang immediately released Xiaolong and sent it to the island in the middle of the lake first to investigate.
If Qin Fang was alone, he would have directly rushed over on Xiaolong. However, there were a few people with him, and it wasn't convenient for Xiaolong to be exposed.
This was just like Miyamoto Musashi's death. Ji Xiang and the others only thought that Qin Fang had the Tang Sect's poison in his hands, and that was how he killed Miyamoto Musashi.
Unfortunately, they would never have thought that it wasn't their poison that killed Miyamoto Musashi, but Xiaolong's poison … This was an existence that was much inferior to the Golden Head Cockscomb Snake's poison. Anyone who was hit by it would be incurable!
Of course, Xiaolong still had many abilities. Its ability to control water could even be called a divine art. In the water … it was almost invincible.
Although Qin Fang hadn't used his swimming skills, Qin Fang had trained it to a high level. He was like a fish in the water, swimming easily and comfortably. However, his speed was still the fastest among the four of them.
After such a long time, the others had long become accustomed to Qin Fang's freakishness. It seemed that there was nothing that he wasn't proficient in, whether it was riding a horse or swimming …
They had seen so much that they couldn't be bothered to be surprised. What the eye didn't see, the heart didn't grieve over.
"Is there really a problem?"
Swimming one or two kilometers was not difficult for Qin Fang and the others. Moreover, there were no ferocious beasts like great white sharks in this lake. It was relatively smooth. They could already see the small island in the middle of the lake in just over ten minutes.
At this time, Xiaolong, the vanguard, also sent a message. It found something strange!
They saw such a strange scene before, but they couldn't find it later. This was already very strange. They felt that what they saw before might be a mirage.
However, if it was really a mirage, there was no reason that only Qin Fang and the others could see it. Hattori Sanzang and the others couldn't see it.
But if it wasn't a mirage, then there was really a problem with this island in the middle of the lake …
Now that Xiaolong had indeed found something strange, Qin Fang understood in his heart, but he also felt that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Xiang noticed the change in Qin Fang's expression, and Song Qingshan, who was closest to Qin Fang, asked.
"Something's wrong …"
Qin Fang's swimming speed did not decrease, but his brows were tightly knitted. There was a very strange throbbing in the depths of his heart.
This throbbing came very suddenly. After all, martial arts masters like Qin Fang and the others were quite stable mentally. It was impossible for him to have something that could make them react like this, unless …
"Quick!
Get to the island quickly … "
Qin Fang was still frowning and pondering. His eyes were also looking around unnaturally. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately shouted to the three people beside him. "Brother, let's go!"
Not only that, but Qin Fang also immediately burst out with a terrifying explosive force. He waved his arms and swam quickly toward the shore of the island in the middle of the lake at an astonishing speed.
"What's wrong?"
The others were stunned and a little confused. They did not know what had happened to Qin Fang.
However, Qin Fang suddenly swam so fast and so hurriedly. Something must have happened. Although the three of them felt strange, they all burst out at once. They waved their arms and quickly slid across the water surface, swimming straight to the shore.
Originally, there was only about a hundred to two hundred meters between them. Now that the four of them suddenly burst out, they crossed the distance in the blink of an eye. Their speed was not any slower than those professional swimmers, maybe even a little faster …
These martial arts masters were like a group of bugs. If they were to participate in the Olympic Games, they could easily sweep their opponents in many events, and swimming was no exception.
Qin Fang did not have time to explain much. At the fastest speed, he even got rid of the few people behind him and swam quickly toward the island in the middle of the lake. When he was close to the shore, he directly slapped the water surface and rushed out of the water. His body flew a few meters in the air and landed steadily on the shore.
Monk Wukong, who was not far from Qin Fang, was not to be outdone. He also rushed out of the water with a similar action. He used his Crossing the River with a reed and directly rushed toward Qin Fang in a straight line.
As for Song Qingshan and Ji Xiang, they were miserable. They did not know any qinggong, so they could only wave their arms bitterly and swim hard.
Although the distance was not very far, it still took some time. By the time they went ashore, Qin Fang and Monk Wukong had already rushed far away.
By the time the two of them caught up with Qin Fang, Qin Fang and Monk Wukong had already stopped for a long time …
To be precise, Qin Fang and Monk Wukong stopped at a small place formed by a small pile of rocks at this moment, and they were in a daze.
"What did you find?"
As soon as Ji Xiang came over, he noticed that Qin Fang and Monk Wukong's expressions were a little strange, so he couldn't help but ask.
He also carefully looked at the surrounding environment of the island in the middle of the lake just now. There didn't seem to be anything special, and he really didn't find anything unusual.
As for the place where Qin Fang and the others were in a daze, there didn't seem to be anything special except for the scattered piles of rocks around.
"Formation?"
Ji Xiang didn't see anything, but Song Qingshan muttered a little doubtfully.
Qin Fang and Monk Wukong's expressions were strange. They must have found something, but there didn't seem to be anything special around them, which meant that there was indeed a problem with this place.
There is a problem, but they can't find it. Such a thought immediately emerged in Song Qingshan's mind … Of course, he also noticed that Qin Fang's fingers were constantly moving, as if he was calculating something.
Although Monk Wukong was not like Qin Fang, his expression was not very good. He frowned, and seemed to be looking for something.
"Sigh …"
However, a few minutes later, Monk Wukong sighed softly, "We are still a step too late …"
Qin Fang was still frowning. Hearing Monk Wukong's sigh, he only hesitated a little, but he quickly recovered and continued with his own matters.
"What?
What do you mean by a step too late? "
Ji Xiang was still confused. He looked at Monk Wukong and asked puzzledly.
"This Lake Heart Island is very special. There is actually a very special formation hidden here … The reason why we saw such a scene is most likely caused by a flaw that was missed during the operation of the formation!"
Monk Wukong knew more about formations than Song Qingshan, so he briefly introduced it to Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang grew up abroad, and his strength had improved, but he knew very little about the ancestors. Monk Wukong had to give him a scientific explanation.
"Then you are a step too late …"
Ji Xiang had only heard of the formation, but he had never really seen it. Even after listening to Monk Wukong's explanation, he still seemed to understand it.
"This formation's level is very high. There won't always be flaws!"
Monk Wukong smiled bitterly and pointed to the rocky beach.
His meaning was obvious. The flaws of the formation had disappeared, and the operation of the formation had recovered. They couldn't find the flaws, so it was impossible to crack this formation.
Of course, he also said that this formation's level was very high. Even if there were flaws in the formation, they might not be able to crack the formation. Now that even the flaws had disappeared, there was even less hope.
"Then we ran for nothing?"
Ji Xiang suddenly looked very disappointed, and at the same time, he seemed very depressed.
A high-level formation covered up this Lake Heart Island. What was hidden inside? This was also very attractive to Ji Xiang.
In particular, the scene that they had seen earlier was most likely what was being concealed by this array formation, which deeply stimulated Ji Xiang.
But now that the flaws of the formation had disappeared, everything was still covered up. He couldn't expose it, so he could only look very disappointed.
"Don't worry, there may be a way …"
Just when they were a little depressed, Qin Fang, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said such a sentence.
Although it was just a sentence, it almost made Ji Xiang, Monk Wukong, and Song Qingshan's emotions suddenly rise. They all looked at Qin Fang with surprise and expectation.
"This is a large mountain protection formation. Its level is quite high, but although the formation is still operating, this large formation itself seems to have been unmanned for many years, and the damage is quite severe … As long as we look carefully, we will be able to find a breakthrough!"
Qin Fang's expression didn't change much, but he still gave a simple explanation.
"It's basically impossible for us to break through this formation with our strength … However, it might not be impossible to open a small gap!"
