While Colonel Wang excitedly led his team to the Wuji base to capture people, Lan Ke was undergoing a new special training.
At this moment, her whole body was submerged in the freezing cold lake water, and she was practicing swinging a knife in the water.
Her body had been strengthened several times, and although she was no longer afraid of the cold, the icy cold of the lake still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Not to mention, the resistance of the lake water is much greater than the resistance of the air. When swinging a knife in it, one not only has to resist the coldness of the lake water at all times, but also has to adapt to the resistance brought by the lake water.
Fortunately, Lan Ke had already practiced swordplay in a snowstorm, so even the howling wind couldn't affect her sword-swinging, and the resistance of the lake water was nothing.
However, the most terrifying thing about practicing swordsmanship in the lake is not the freezing cold water and the water resistance, but the creatures that grow in the lake.
The fish and aquatic plants in the water have long since mutated.
They were trapped in the lake just because they couldn't walk on land.
This place is remote, and almost no one comes here after the apocalypse. Without external food, they can only devour each other.
After being swallowed again and again, the surviving creatures in the lake became more and more ferocious.
So when Lan Ke entered the water, these mutant creatures became extremely excited and wanted to devour her immediately!
If Lan Ke wants to avoid being devoured, she must kill these mutant creatures before they get close!
This training is similar to the initial training, but it is much more brutal and difficult. Lan Ke not only has to overcome the resistance of the lake water, but also has to find and kill the approaching mutants in time.
Otherwise, once they get close to her, those mutant fish with sharp fangs will bite off her flesh in one bite!
In order to save energy, Lan Ke chose a place at the bottom of the lake and stopped, waiting for the mutant creatures to come to him.
It didn't even have to do anything, those hungry mutant creatures would rush towards her ferociously, opening their big mouths full of sharp teeth and trying to bite flesh off her.
Lan Ke held the Ink Scale Knife in her hand, and at first she stood still like a sculpture, until the mutant creatures approached, then she swiftly swung the Ink Scale Knife in her hand, neatly splitting the charging mutant creatures in half!
Probably because it is a scenic spot, there are a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs in this lake, most of which are koi for viewing.
After the mutation, the appearance of these koi changed greatly.
The koi that degenerated into a different species turned black, as if their entire bodies were dyed with ink. The koi that evolved luckily became more colorful and looked very pleasing to the eye.
Of course, if you ignore their mouths that are opened as wide as possible and the sharp teeth inside, they are definitely a feast for the eyes.
In addition, there were mutated river shrimps and crabs, no matter they were alien or evolved, their bodies had grown several times larger. They waved their huge claws and approached Lan Ke from the bottom of the lake, looking majestic and menacing.
At this time, Lan Ke only needed to release the bean sprouts to deal with them easily, without any pressure at all.
But she didn't do that. She came out for special training, and she didn't want to let Bean Sprout go and be lazy unless it was absolutely necessary.
As the number of mutated creatures increased, Lan Ke swung his sword faster and faster.
Her nerves were all tense, and she didn't dare to slack off at all, because if she slacked off, those seemingly insignificant little things might hit her hard and brutally tear off a large piece of flesh from her body.
Jun Tianheng stood quietly not far away, watching Lan Ke's every move.
The strange thing was that even though he was standing there, the mutant creatures in the water seemed to be collectively blind, pretending he didn't exist and all bypassed him and moved towards Lan Ke.
In just a few minutes, all the mutant creatures that rushed out were killed by Lan Ke. A large number of incomplete corpses floated in the cold lake water, and the black and red blood dyed the nearby lake water into a strange dark red.
Lan Ke then released Douya and let it deal with the remaining limbs in the water and collect the tiny heart cores.
Then she changed her position in the lake and prepared to repeat the same trick.
Unfortunately, this lake is neither big nor small. The mutated creatures in the water seemed to have received a danger signal and all hid themselves away, never willing to come out to die.
Lan Ke changed places again, and the situation was still the same as before.
Just when she was about to give up, she heard Jun Tianheng's voice transmission: "From now on, you must find them all!"
This task is difficult. To find all the mutant creatures in such a large lake is almost as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Lan Ke just frowned, said nothing, and started looking.
The lake water is not very clear and the underwater visibility is limited. If you rely solely on observation with the naked eye, it will probably take several days to find the whole place.
Therefore, Lan Ke’s method is to use mental power to search.
She quietly released her mental power, and her body swam gently in the water like a ghost, trying not to alarm the mutant creatures. At the same time, strands of mental power spread out silently in different directions, constantly exploring the bottom of the lake.
Soon, Lan Ke discovered the mutant creatures hiding in the mud at the bottom of the river.
The Ink Scale Knife stabbed lightly, and when he lifted it up again, there was already a foreign crab on the tip of the knife. It was not dead yet, and was waving its two large claws fiercely, but unfortunately it could not move after a few swings.
Lan Ke threw the crab away and continued looking for his prey.
In order to find all the mutant creatures, she used her mental power to conduct a carpet search at the bottom of the lake. This search consumed a lot of mental power, but she still did it.
In the blink of an eye, one hour had passed.
At this time, Lan Ke had finally searched a large area at the bottom of the lake, leaving only a remote corner.
This corner doesn't look big, and with Lan Ke's previous speed, it won't take long to search it.
However, just as she swam gently closer, the mental power she released suddenly discovered a big thing.
The big thing was hiding in that remote corner, and it looked like it was waiting for her to get closer.
Lan Ke stopped immediately and looked coldly at the remote corner.
That thing was hiding very well. Lan Ke's eyesight was already quite amazing, but she was surprised to find that she couldn't find where the thing was hiding just with her naked eyes!
After hesitating for a moment, she found a stone nearby and smashed it hard at the place she had just explored.
The lake water had some resistance, but she was very strong, and the stone she threw was like a small cannonball, hitting the calm bottom of the lake hard.
The originally calm lake bottom suddenly reacted violently.
