Chapter 1021: Chapter 405: Attribute Points and the Floating Island! (Part 2)
In an instant, a giant image appeared in his mind automatically.
In the image, a Heaven-Reaching Giant Ape stood in mid-air, covered in golden fur, with eyes shining with golden light. Unfortunately, there was only a faint golden edge, the muscles and hair still appeared illusory.
He snapped out of the Genetic Map with a start.
"The initial tier of the Genetic Map is too scant, not even able to reveal the rough outline?"
Liang Yuan pondered that the depth of the Genetic Map’s depiction was still at the initial tier, which should be related to the Genetic Attribute Points of the Four Major Attributes.
In the future, as the Genetic Attribute Points continue to increase, the depiction of the Genetic Map should become more complete.
"Could it be that I might turn into a Hundred-Change Demon Ape at the end of evolution?"
A thought flashed through Liang Yuan’s mind, and he frowned slightly.
The gene fragments in humans are too numerous, and the end of evolution might not necessarily still be human.
Of course, maybe he was too narrow-minded. Perhaps ape-like creatures, in the larger biological group, are also part of the Human Race?
These strange ideas flashed through Liang Yuan’s mind.
For now, let’s focus on survival; as for everything else, we’ll take it one step at a time.
Mist swirled around, and there was a faint sound of water flowing nearby.
Three large ships were lined up one after another, with a small ship exploring up front to avoid losing direction.
After circling for about half an hour, they finally found the river of the Mist Forest.
As the ships continuously moved forward, the river flowed with a gurgling sound, and from time to time, some domestic waste would drift from the river.
There would even be some floating ice blocks drifting downstream.
And as they continued upstream, Liang Yuan could clearly feel the temperature dropping rapidly.
He turned his head to look at Zhou Wanxi beside him: "Is the Mist Forest very cold?"
Zhou Wanxi immediately replied: "Yes, in fact, not just the Mist Forest, the entire Mist City is very cold."
"It’s different from outside, where continuous heavy rains occur, but inside Mist City, it’s heavy snow, and the overall temperature is extremely low."
"The Mist Forest, also known as the Ice and Snow Forest, you’ll see when you get there."
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but ask: "Has no one ever explored the reason for this?"
Zhou Wanxi shook his head helplessly: "We’re not even allowed to stay on the island, how could we have the ability to investigate the reasons for this."
Liang Yuan asked: "Has no one inquired either?"
Everyone shook their heads; evidently, this wasn’t information they had access to.
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then asked: "Have you ever seen other types of Floating Islands?"
"Are there other Floating Islands?"
"What? Are there many such Floating Islands?"
"Mr. Liang, have you seen other types of Floating Islands?"
...
Liang Yuan’s question immediately sparked a flurry of chatter among the captains, who all began asking excitedly.
Everyone’s faces showed excitement.
Apparently, these people were not aware that Floating Islands were not limited to just one.
Liang Yuan had already caught wind from the Spiritual Ability Sect followers that there are many Floating Islands, and quite a few have appeared on the Guangfu side.
The reason, Liang Yuan speculated, was likely due to the higher elevation and abundant forests in that area.
Floating Islands drift randomly and are more likely to run aground in such places.
The area around Linjiang University is more open and not very high in elevation, so when the water level rises, if there’s a Floating Island, it would drift wherever the floodwaters flow.
In fact, if there are giant marine creatures stirring up underwater currents, it’s also possible to influence the drifting path of the Floating Island.
Liang Yuan glanced at the excited crowd and casually said: "I was just thinking, if there is a Floating Island like Mist City, why can’t there be other types of Floating Islands?"
"It’s a pity we don’t know the true nature of these Floating Islands, otherwise figuring it out might lead to understanding their origin."
The people were immediately disappointed.
They thought there might be other types of Floating Islands. If that were the case, they may not have to solely focus on Mist City.
Why not sail out to search for other Floating Islands?
Liang Yuan didn’t give them any hope; he needed these people to concentrate solely on viewing Mist City as the only Floating Island, the only place for survival after the great flood disaster.
Only then could they wholeheartedly attack Mist City and seize the City of Ice Mist!
"Mr. Liang, we are almost there!"
Suddenly, a voice shouted from the leading small boat ahead.
Liang Yuan looked up, gazing into the surrounding mist.
As expected, the surrounding mist had become very cold, forming ice fog.
Liang Yuan’s constitution was high, so the low temperature didn’t affect him much.
But he roughly estimated that it was probably below minus ten degrees here.
As the ships moved forward, some shadows began to appear in the mist ahead.
Along with this, human voices and some knocking sounds accompanied it.
Liang Yuan immediately waved his hand, signaling the small boat ahead to retreat, and said, "Everyone, prepare to disembark."
"Yes!"
Everyone’s spirits lifted instantly, and they all showed solemn expressions.
The boat continued to approach, and the mist was gradually thinning.
Soon, Liang Yuan saw the situation ahead clearly.
He saw the surrounding water surface frozen by ice blocks, with only a river flowing noisily.
Following the river, there was a stretch of white riverbank.
On the riverbank, several castles were built, with a small port constructed along the river.
On the nearby river surface, many large and small ships were moored.
There were workers going back and forth, carrying the fish catch ashore.
On the shore, patrol teams guarded every three steps.
In the distance, someone on the fortress was watching this side.
Nearby, people were constructing buildings, and the sounds of hammering were from those building bridges and wooden houses.
Looking past these people, further away was a purely white world.
The dense forest was covered in white snow, and amidst the silver dressing, many people could be seen moving at the edge of the forest.
And many shadows of buildings could be seen as well.
At first glance, it seemed like a small village in the northeast.
Liang Yuan noticed that the mist in Mist Forest was far less thick than outside; although there was also mist, it was much thinner!
"A ship has come in!"
At the port, someone suddenly looked over here and shouted loudly.
The guards did not pay attention, just assuming it was the usual fish sellers.
But as the three large ships entered the port, the guards at the port slightly changed their expressions.
"Quick, notify the captain, something seems off." This time, the person in charge of port order was Gu Gang, a member of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps.
Gu Gang was also a retired soldier, recognized by Li Kun, and became a minor leader after joining the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps.
He was just a Strength-type Superpower User; in the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps, Strength Superpower Users weren’t considered powerful figures.
The truly powerful ones were the Elemental Class Superpower Users.
But his cautious and astute nature allowed him to earn recognition and important responsibilities from those above.
The Superpower User working alongside him quickly responded, "Yes, Captain."
Saying this, the person swiftly left the port, rushing towards the bunker not far away.
At that moment, as the vessel was getting closer, Gu Gang immediately signaled to several people from the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps around him.
They understood the cue, grabbed their weapons, and headed toward the port.
Gu Gang shouted at ’Wanxi,’ the ship leading, "Stop the ship! Stop it now!"
Unfortunately, the people on the ship ignored him, and Zhou Wanxi signaled to the helmsman.
The helmsman, upon receiving the signal, grinned wickedly, accelerating forcefully, heading straight for the port!
"What are you doing, what are you doing!"
Gu Gang’s expression changed dramatically, immediately shouting, "Enemy attack!"
This shout instantly shocked everyone at the port, creating a commotion.
Many people hurriedly looked over.
On ’Wanxi,’ shadows moved like dragons, and hundreds of figures lunged towards the shore!
"Kill—!"
"Charge!"
"Go ashore!"
...
Liang Yuan’s people let out angry roars, their bodies swift as lightning, each leading others as they charged ashore.
At first glance, they directly cut down a guard mercenary.
Gu Gang’s eyes widened in shock and anger: "How dare you attack the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps people, you’re doomed! Doomed!"
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, ’Wanxi’ fiercely shattered the wooden platform of the port.
The dock workers who failed to evacuate in time exclaimed in alarm, many tumbling into the icy, bone-chilling water.
Several dock workers who were Superpower Users activated their powers, quickly fleeing to safety!
Zhou Wanxi had no time to lament his ’Wanxi’ as he followed Tang Dechang, leaped forward, and charged ashore.
Liang Yuan stood on the ship without moving, merely gazing at the three huge bunkers not far away.
He slightly curved his lips: "Let’s see what the floating island is all about."
