Chapter 1055: Chapter 418: Brain Lake (2)
"There really is a secret here, what is this place?"
He reached out to touch these fleshy walls.
Upon contact, it was icy cold, as hard as frozen meat, extremely frigid.
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, a faint earthy yellow glow emanating from his outstretched palm.
[Earth Escape] skills activated.
However, his palm did not penetrate into the ’wall’ as he had imagined, but was clearly blocked outside.
Liang Yuan immediately frowned: "It’s not soil, nor stone, otherwise my Earth Escape Skills couldn’t fail to penetrate it!"
"What is this material?"
Liang Yuan was secretly shocked, unable to resist drawing out a sharp blade and slashing fiercely at the flesh wall.
Clang!
The handle trembled, the blade twisted, yet this flesh wall didn’t move an inch!
"So hard?"
Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, feeling increasingly incredulous.
"Why did He Jun escape to this place?"
He looked toward the dark tunnel, thought for a moment, and then strode ahead to give chase.
On the ground, there were clear snowy footprints. Evidently, upon reaching here, He Jun had stopped hiding his tracks and even relaxed enough to leave footprints.
Following the trail of footprints, Liang Yuan quickly passed through this long tunnel.
Ahead, a bottomless hollow appeared, filled with a chilling air, yet devoid of airflow, suggesting it was a dead end.
Liang Yuan did not rush into this underground cave because he noticed footprints skirting around it.
Clearly, He Jun bypassed the hole and continued deeper in.
Liang Yuan didn’t hesitate, following the footprints, and quickly bypassed the hole, moving forward.
Soon, his view opened up widely, suddenly revealing a vast sunken ice lake.
The surface of this lake seemed endless, with a faint black line visible in the distance, likely the opposite shore.
The ice on the lake surface was thick, and the lake water wasn’t transparent but milky white.
At this moment, a figure was sprinting across the ice ahead.
This person was none other than the Ice Armor Warrior, Left Leader He Jun!
Liang Yuan looked at the immense lake, internally shaken, feeling a sense of awe and wonder.
How could there be such a huge ice lake underground?
Suddenly recalling something, he looked up.
High above, a few hundred feet in the sky, was a snow-white dome.
Here, there was neither falling snow nor raindrops, nor dark clouds or fierce winds.
The dome was smooth as a mirror, occasionally patterned with thin red streaks, like red dragons rolling upon it.
The red dragons emitted a faint red light, reflecting off the white dome, illuminating this underground space.
Liang Yuan was amazed: "What is this place?"
He looked towards He Jun, whose figure grew smaller, as the latter continued further away.
Liang Yuan immediately set foot on the ice, ready to pursue.
Suddenly, he heard voices coming from the tunnel behind.
His expression changed immediately!
"Is it here?"
"It must be; the spiritual energy fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger."
"Will the Master of Fog City really be here?"
"The steward has already entered first; it shouldn’t be wrong."
"Follow closely."
The voices drew nearer, and Liang Yuan quickly glanced around, finding no place to hide.
Having no other choice, he immediately pressed his hand against the ice surface.
Flames erupted from his palm, and the ice surface rapidly melted, forming a pit.
The milky white liquid appeared inside the pit, as a layer of Spirit Turtle Shell lit up on Liang Yuan’s body, along with a layer of golden Light Armor, and finally a spherical mass of gathered water.
With everything prepared, he no longer hesitated, swiftly plunging into the milky white liquid.
As he submerged, several figures emerged from the passage he had come through.
Without exception, these figures wore earth-yellow uniforms, seemingly members of some organization.
"Look, we’ve arrived!"
"Is this the Brain Lake of the Floating Island?"
"Look at its size, it’s huge!"
"Everyone, our Evangelism System is on full force this time; we must capture this Floating Island. Let’s go, split up to find the Brain Core, it’s key to controlling the island!"
"Understood!"
...
The group swiftly rushed into the ice lake, then rapidly dispersed in all directions.
Under the lake, Liang Yuan held his breath, listening to the commotion outside.
When all was silent, he swiftly swam to the surface.
Upon reaching the lake’s surface, the ice layer he had melted had already refrozen.
Liang Yuan pressed his hand on the ice layer; flames burned, rapidly melting the ice again.
Looking around to ensure no one was nearby, he then leaped gracefully out from the water.
As he burst out of the water, the water sphere around him shattered with a whoosh.
Water droplets fell, along with the viscous milky white lake water, dripping to the ground.
Recalling the words of the people earlier, Liang Yuan thought.
"Brain Lake..."
He surveyed the vast lake, a chilling feeling creeping into his heart.
Why was it called the Brain Lake?
And why were those people searching for a Brain Core?
What on earth is a Brain Core?
Deep in thought, Liang Yuan crouched down, looking at the milky white droplets falling around him.
"Could this... not be lake water, but brain fluid?"
This thought emerged, startling Liang Yuan, almost impossibly.
If it is brain fluid, does it mean an immense body is buried beneath this ice plain?
What kind of body could be this large?
Is this even possible?
Liang Yuan’s heart pounded wildly, feeling as if he had stumbled upon an extraordinary truth.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
