"What method?" Lin Hao and Xiao Hei looked at Wang Dacong, speaking almost at the same time.
"Brother Lin, Brother Shan, we can use a helicopter!" Wang Dacong looked at Lin Hao and Xiao Hei, excitedly saying, "We can transport the speedboats to the outskirts of Tianchi, and then use the helicopter to lift them into Tianchi."
"Haha, isn't this a great idea?"
Lin Hao and Xiao Hei exchanged glances, then simultaneously gave Wang Dacong a thumbs-up.
Wang Dacong chuckled, then said to Lin Hao and Xiao Hei, "Then I'll go make arrangements right away."
"Mm, right, if the speedboats can be modified, it would be best. Mainly for safety and speed. While ensuring safety, the faster the better," Lin Hao said to Wang Dacong.
"Got it, mission guaranteed!"
Wang Dacong patted his chest, then walked out with his head held high, immediately going to contact his friends.
"Senior Brother, although your method seems perfect, I still feel it's a bit dangerous. Why don't I go down? You can then use the speedboat to lure the Flood Dragon away," Xiao Hei said to Lin Hao, with some concern.
"I'd like you to go down, but you don't know the exact location of the Dragon Saliva. Once you're down there, you'll have to search for it, which will definitely take a lot of time. We're on such a tight schedule, so it's better for me to go down."
"I already know the exact location of the Dragon Saliva. All you need to do is lure the Flood Dragon away, and I can retrieve the Dragon Saliva immediately. This way, both you and I will have our risks minimized."
Lin Hao looked at Xiao Hei and smiled, "So, don't argue with me."
As Xiao Hei was about to speak, Tang Ziyuan suddenly walked out of the room and said to Xiao Hei, "What's there to argue with him about? Let him go. It's better if he dies."
"Uh, this..." Xiao Hei scratched his head and looked at Lin Hao, bewildered.
After speaking, Tang Ziyuan walked out without even looking at Lin Hao.
"Where are you going?" Lin Hao asked Tang Ziyuan with a chuckle.
"None of your business?" Tang Ziyuan replied coldly without turning back, then quickly walked out.
Lin Hao was speechless. He had originally seen that Tang Ziyuan was in a bad mood and was worried she might get into trouble if she left the hotel. He didn't expect his good intentions to be met with such rudeness.
Looking at Tang Ziyuan leaving coldly, and then at Lin Hao's speechless expression, Xiao Hei suddenly felt that the air was filled with the rotten smell of love!
"Pah!"
Xiao Hei cursed inwardly, then walked out of the room with a dejected look...
Two hours later.
Wang Dacong returned.
Everything was ready. The speedboats had been modified, with a top speed of 300 km/h. In case of emergencies, the speed limit could be lifted, reaching up to 350 km/h.
The helicopter was also arranged. Wang Dacong rented it from a civilian airline. Its external load capacity was one ton, while the total weight of the speedboat was only about 400 kg. Lifting a speedboat was more than enough.
Lin Hao looked at the speedboat on the truck, then looked up at the helicopter hovering in the sky, nodding with satisfaction, "Let's go!"
"Haha, let's go!"
Wang Dacong also shouted excitedly, then immediately drove towards Tianchi.
An hour and a half later.
Lin Hao, Tang Ziyuan, Xiao Hei, and Wang Dacong arrived at the parking spot from yesterday.
After parking the car steadily, Wang Dacong used the walkie-talkie to signal the helicopter above to start lifting the speedboat.
Lin Hao watched as the helicopter steadily lifted the speedboat, and then began to head into Tianchi.
After another hour's drive, Lin Hao, Xiao Hei, Wang Dacong, and Tang Ziyuan finally reached the edge of Tianchi.
Upon reaching the edge of Tianchi, at Xiao Hei's suggestion, Lin Hao changed his plan.
Lin Hao had originally planned for Xiao Hei to ride the speedboat to lure the Flood Dragon, while he would directly dive into the water to get the Dragon Saliva.
But Xiao Hei said that doing so was still a bit dangerous. He suggested that since there was a helicopter, a rope should be tied to it.
Then, when Lin Hao dived down and retrieved the Dragon Saliva, the helicopter would pull Lin Hao up from the water.
This way, it would be much faster than Lin Hao surfacing on his own.
Moreover, if the Flood Dragon returned early, the helicopter could immediately take Lin Hao away from the water surface.
At that point, unless the Flood Dragon could fly, it could only watch Lin Hao leave.
Lin Hao listened to Xiao Hei's suggestion and thought it was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.
With everything ready, Lin Hao patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder, signaling to begin the operation.
Without any further words, Xiao Hei grinned at Lin Hao, then leaped into the lake.
The speedboat had already been lifted into the lake by the helicopter.
Xiao Hei swam a few strokes in the water, then climbed onto the speedboat and got ready. He then said into the communication microphone near his collar, "Everything is ready, we can proceed."
After speaking, Xiao Hei started the speedboat and headed towards the Flood Dragon's territory.
The roar of the speedboat was very loud. Even from halfway up the mountain, Lin Hao and Wang Dacong could hear it clearly.
Lin Hao felt that the Flood Dragon would likely emerge instantly upon hearing the roar of the speedboat.
As expected, the moment Lin Hao had this thought.
The previously calm lake surface suddenly rippled.
The next second, with a "hiss," a huge and ferocious figure instantly surged out of the lake.
It leaped high out of the lake like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, then opened its gaping maw and lunged towards Xiao Hei with its duck-webbed claws!
Xiao Hei was experienced. The moment the Flood Dragon leaped out of the water, he twisted the throttle and sped away.
This modified speedboat reached over a hundred kilometers per hour in three to five seconds.
Almost instantly, the speedboat left the Flood Dragon far behind.
The Flood Dragon, seeing the speedboat and Xiao Hei speeding away, creating a splash of water, was momentarily stunned.
But then, it felt provoked, let out a long roar, and plunged back into the water.
The next second, a very strange ripple could be seen moving rapidly beneath the calm lake surface.
And its direction of movement was precisely towards where Xiao Hei was fleeing.
Lin Hao stood on the mountainside. Seeing that the Flood Dragon had been successfully lured away by Xiao Hei, he fastened the safety rope tied to the helicopter and immediately leaped down!
"Bang!"
Lin Hao entered the water with practiced ease.
Moreover, this time Lin Hao had specifically changed into a fast-diving wetsuit to quickly descend underwater.
Indeed, with the fast-diving wetsuit, his descent speed was much faster than yesterday.
In about a minute and a half, he successfully reached the bottom of the lake.
In the same spot as yesterday, Lin Hao parted the aquatic plants and immediately saw the Dragon Saliva emitting a colorful glow!
