Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 273 Live Broadcast of National Fortune: The Male Lead's Fiancée Who Was Rejected VS. Hu

As night fell, Chen Zhengyuan lit a campfire and took out wild animal meat from the system's inventory, then started roasting it.

Su Jinyue had grown tired of eating barbecue these days, and since it was just her and Chen Zhengyuan here, she became a little more unrestrained.

She took out a wok, vegetables, and other ingredients directly from her storage space and cooked her favorite dishes. She also took out a spare power source to steam a pot of rice.

Su Jinyue ate her food, taking bites of rice and vegetables, feeling extremely satisfied.

Chen Zhengyuan was somewhat surprised to see Su Jinyue take out something that did not belong to the Trial Grounds, but he did not pursue the matter.

The fact that Su Jinyue could be completely open with him showed her trust in him; as for where these things came from, that was not important.

Once Chen Zhengyuan started eating the delicious food, he couldn't help but speed up his eating, and all those unimportant things were long forgotten.

The two of them finished cooking a pot of rice, and not only did they eat all the rice that Su Jinyue had made, but they also ate all the meat that Chen Zhengyuan had grilled before they finally stopped, still feeling unsatisfied.

After the meal, Su Jinyue took out portable tents, one for her and one for Chen Zhengyuan.

This place is rich in spiritual energy and is not convenient to investigate at night, making it perfect for cultivation. The tent is not big, so it's just right to sit inside and cultivate. Su Jinyue also set up a defensive array and a spirit-gathering array outside the tent.

Tonight, the moonlight was like a ribbon. Su Jinyue was wondering why there was still a moon when they were no longer on Earth.

However, since she couldn't figure it out, Su Jinyue decided to stop thinking about it for the time being. Perhaps it was just a simulation of the environment of Earth during the national fortune live broadcast, to help everyone adapt.

In the middle of the night, Su Jinyue, who was cultivating, was awakened by a long chant. When she came out of the tent, she saw that Chen Zhengyuan had also been disturbed and had come out.

Su Jinyue investigated the source of the sound and discovered that the chanting seemed to be coming from the lake next to the medicinal field.

At this moment, the lake was shrouded in mist, and ripples spread out. The waves grew larger and larger, as if something was about to emerge from beneath the water as the sound was heard.

However, Su Jinyue and Chen Zhengyuan remained on guard for a long time. The commotion on the lake gradually subsided until it became completely calm, and nothing came out.

Su Jinyue and Chen Zhengyuan exchanged a glance, and then walked towards the lake.

During the day, Su Jinyue explored the lake, but there were no fish in it; it was completely empty.

Su Jinyue walked to the lakeside and probed with her divine sense, but the lake was still pitch black and there was nothing there.

But judging from the commotion just now, there is indeed something strange about the lake.

Su Jinyue turned to Chen Zhengyuan: "What do you think? Should we go down and take a look?"

Chen Zhengyuan frowned as he looked at the lake, deep in thought. Hearing Su Jinyue's words, he knew she wanted to go down.

"We don't know if there's any danger at the bottom of the lake. How about this, I'll go down and check first, and you can come up and meet me."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue knew that Chen Zhengyuan was worried about her safety, but she was even more worried about him going down alone!

She would go with him, and if the situation became critical, Su Jinyue could pull Chen Zheng away into the spatial dimension to hide.

But if Chen Zhengyuan went down alone, Su Jinyue would be too far away to help.

"No! If we're going down, we'll go together. I'm worried about you going alone."

"you……"

"Chen Zhengyuan, stop talking. I won't let you go down alone."

Besides, you know my methods; even if there's any danger, I can protect myself.

"..." Chen Zhengyuan looked at Su Jinyue's determined eyes and knew that he could not persuade her.

There was no other way but for the two of them to go together.

Chen Zhengyuan was determined to protect Su Jinyue, and he would rush to the front in case of any danger.

Even if she were to go down to the lake, Su Jinyue would not be unprepared.

Su Jinyue was wearing a magic robe and a defensive magic artifact on her head. She also took out the mecha she had crafted in the interstellar world, put it in a spatial lock, and hung it around her neck for easy access at any time.

Su Jinyue also prepared a set of the same equipment for Chen Zhengyuan.

Then he gave Chen Zhengyuan a lot of talismans, just in case he encountered danger.

Finally, Su Jinyue also took out a submarine she bought from the interstellar world, which could withstand water pressure at several thousand meters.

Chen Zhengyuan stared wide-eyed at the various items Su Jinyue took out.

What has Su Jinyue been through? How come she has so many strange and unusual things?

However, seeing all the good things Su Jinyue had, Chen Zhengyuan was no longer worried about Su Jinyue's safety.

Even if she couldn't win, Su Jinyue could still escape with what she had.

Finally, Su Jinyue checked everything one last time. Once everything was in order, the two of them boarded the submarine and went down into the lake.

The submarine is equipped with a search device. Once Su Jinyue activates it, it can detect anything that approaches and then issue an alarm.

But even after the submarine had sunk a thousand meters, there was still nothing there.

It's almost a kilometer deep, is this lake really that deep?

They continued to dive for about 500 meters and finally reached the bottom of the lake, but Su Jinyue discovered that there was an undercurrent at the bottom!

Could it be that this lake isn't stagnant water, but has an underground river?

Su Jinyue piloted the submarine against the current and began to move laterally across the lakebed.

After driving for about half an hour, Su Jinyue felt that they were about ten kilometers away from where they went down to the lake before they finally reached the source of the underground river.

The underground river is located even lower than the lake bottom. The entrance to the underground river and the junction with the lake bottom are both irregular rocky mountains. Fortunately, the interface space is not small, and submarines can still pass through.

After passing the entrance to the underground river, Su Jinyue discovered that this area was even more expansive than the bottom of the lake.

Not long after the submarine had sailed, Su Jinyue spotted a place in the distance that was faintly glowing with starlight.

Chen Zhengyuan also noticed it, and after discussing it, the two decided to investigate the source of the light.

The closer the two got, the clearer they could see each other.

It was an underwater cave, and Su Jinyue could see a stone door at the entrance, from which the light was coming from above.

Su Jinyue piloted the submarine toward the cave, and as she approached the open space in front of it, she felt as if she were passing through a transparent membrane.

Then, Su Jinyue discovered that the submarine was sounding an alarm, indicating that there seemed to be no water here.

Su Jinyue told Chen Zhengyuan about the situation, and Chen Zhengyuan had the same feeling. Then the two of them tentatively got out of the submarine.

Sure enough, the area marked by the open space in front of the cave was now dry.

It seemed as if something was blocking the cave, preventing the water from getting close.

Su Jinyue and her companion approached the stone gate, wanting to get a clearer view.

But when Su Jinyue and her companion got within three meters of the stone gate, the two stone lions beside it seemed to come alive and charged directly at them.

Su Jinyue and her companion each took on one stone lion. The stone lions were not difficult to deal with. Su Jinyue estimated that the stone lions' strength was probably at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, not quite at the Foundation Establishment stage.
