In the cold early spring, Auerbach sent Tom back to the inn. In the bathroom, Tom adjusted the water temperature, lay in the spacious bathtub, and began to explore the strange changes in his eyes.
First of all, he was sure that the Sea God's Heart had disappeared, and at this time there was only a red rope around his neck; in addition, after several experiments, he found that the previous scene was not his illusion, and he could indeed control the underwater movement of Treasure Lake ...
He could see everything in the lake, from the surface to the bottom, as if his consciousness could enter the water and grasp the movements of more than one hundred cubic meters of water.
The body was soaked in the warm bathtub, and Tom's consciousness went to Treasure Lake. Within the control of his consciousness, the water was transparent. No matter how deep the sunlight was, even the dim lake bottom was as bright in his consciousness. Day!
Treasure Lake is an ordinary inland lake. The bottom of the lake near the water is white and fine sand. Occasionally, small grass carp or small carp happily drill into the sand and mud. When they drill out, they will bring some of The algae deposits that were swallowed.
This made Tom very curious. As a marine lover, he could see the identities of these small fish at a glance, with black backs and white bellies, thick and strong bodies. These omnivorous little fish should be the reservoirs in his hometown when he was a child. Grass carp and carp are common in ponds.
Canada also has traditional Chinese freshwater fish? Tom was puzzled.
Consciousness shifted from the shallow water beach to the deep water, and some slightly larger fish appeared, but they were mainly grass carp, carp, or blackfish.
Some carp and grass carp are more than one meter long. They are ferocious and powerful, and their posture is contemptuous. They are simply the overlords in this Treasure Lake.
A mass of water plants trembled, and Tom's consciousness shifted, at this time two small loach about twenty centimeters burrowed out from under the water plants.
He looked at them, and these little loaches were gray-yellow and covered with black spots, very similar to the black-spotted loach he had seen in the Maritime Museum before. He was somewhat impressed by the black-spotted loach, a common freshwater fish in North America.
The two black-spotted loaches opened their mouths and tried to find the seeds of water plants to eat, but a carp with the length of an adult arm roared and rushed over, opened its mouth with a 'click, click' and ate the clumps of algae.
The black-spotted loach was frightened and fled, and the carp ate the water plants and swam away triumphantly.
Interestingly, Tom felt the emotion of anger from the two black-spotted loaches.
Angry little loach? Tom couldn't help but be amused.
As his consciousness continued to wander, he saw pike in the lake, Baikal small white stripes that are very common in North America, cranberry and black bass, but the most common ones were carp, grass carp, etc. The bigger ones were also the latter.
Although the world in the lake is not as colorful as the land, it is also colorful. His consciousness has only turned a small part in the lake, but he has seen dozens of kinds of fish, most of which he does not know, let alone those strangely shaped water plants...
Tom has always thought that the types of freshwater fish are very simple. In Treasure Lake, he has gained a lot of knowledge. It turns out that freshwater fish are also colorful and colorful. It's a pity that he paid special attention to fish before, but the fish he encounters now may not be the same. know.
After transferring his consciousness to Treasure Lake for more than two hours, Tom changed the water four times. Finally, he moved to the bed and huddled under the quilt to continue exploring the lake. He felt a little tired, so he decided to take a rest.
At this moment, a large carp more than half a meter long rushed out, chasing a colorful salmon with brilliant colors. The colorful salmon was extremely angry for some reason, grinning and chasing after him.
The carp was chased too quickly and had nowhere to escape, so it crashed into the bottom of the lake, probably trying to escape through the thick mud. As a result, it slammed into the mud, and the bottom of the lake collapsed suddenly, revealing a large hole about three or four meters square.
The colorful salmon followed closely, and the carp fled to the distance again. Tom saw that the big hole at the bottom of the lake was a little curious, so he put his consciousness in and took a look.
This glance made his heart jump with excitement because he saw two oak boxes slantingly stacked in the mud hole at the bottom of the lake.
The two oak boxes, one large and one small, are all in the shape of a cube. The large one is about one and a half meters long, wide and high, and the small one is about eighty centimeters or so. The two wooden boxes are of simple and simple style, and they are firmly bound by iron chains, which are easily reminiscent of the legendary treasure chest.
The location of the oak box is almost in the center of the lake bottom. Tom estimated that the center of Treasure Lake must be more than 80 meters deep. In this weather, diving so deep, it is estimated that a professional salvage team will do it.
This makes Tom very depressed. Where does he have the money to hire a salvage team now? Even if he pays, can there be a professional salvage team in the desolate Farewell Town?
If only my consciousness could hold this treasure chest up, Tom thought regretfully.
As a result, just after he had this idea, the lake water around the oak box suddenly began to divide, and then under the impact of the current and the strong water pressure, the box was lifted up!
Tom is shocked!
His heart trembled, his consciousness was scattered, and the floating box staggered to the bottom of the lake again, stirring the sand and making the surrounding puddles extremely dizzy.
After taking two deep breaths, Tom calmed down. After that, he had the consciousness to hold up the box again, and the two boxes floated slowly and leisurely again.
It's just that it is very difficult to control the water flow and the floating box. Compared with the previous consciousness of swimming in the lake, it is simply incomparable.
The box floated only ten meters high, and Tom was too tired to bear it, so the oak box fell into the lake again.
The feeling that the treasure chest was close at hand, but he couldn't get it, really drove Tom crazy. Later, he thought of a way. After he rested for a while, when his physical strength recovered, he let his consciousness control the direction of the water flow, and rolled the treasure chest to the shallow water shore...
In this way, he saves a lot of effort.
Hiding the treasure chest on the shore, Tom put on his clothes and ran out of the hotel. He saw the hotel owner had a Ford pickup parked in front of the door, and he said, "Dude, it's like this, my grandfather's fishery has some things to deal with, can I borrow it? Can you use your truck? I'll fill it up for you."
The chubby white boss laughed and said: "Tom, your grandfather is a great man, I admire him very much, for his sake, you can use the car as you want. Of course, if you fill me up with gas, that would be even better.”
Auerbach had already introduced Tom's identity. After the boss heard that he was Great Qin's grandson, he even gave him a 20% discount on the room rate.
It was already in the afternoon, and the town began to become lively, but Treasure Lake was located five kilometers away from the town, and the surroundings were quiet and lonely, which was convenient for Tom to start.
Taking advantage of no one around, Tom used his consciousness to control the flow of water and pushed the two oak boxes to the shore and then moved them into the carriage.
Putting the oak box, Tom drove directly to the ''GreatQin Fishing Farm''. There were many houses on the fishing farm. Tom found a two-story maple building. Auerbach said that this was his grandfather's residence. There were two trees next to the small building. The maple tree was planted by his grandfather when he first came to the fishery.
After going upstairs, Tom opened the small box, the iron chains around it had been peeled off in the water, and there was a hammer in the small building, and he smashed it open at once.
After the box was smashed open, Tom's eyes lit up, because there were rolls of paintings sealed in plastic bags!
