Mysterious journey

puff!

Surrounded by the sound of bubbling water.

The field of vision was dark green and nothing could be seen. Garon's whole body exudes strong cold energy radiation, resisting the large amount of poisonous lake water that constantly invades the surface of the skin. He held his breath and kept swimming down.

The water in the lake was very viscous, and it was impossible to dive down without using special skills. Garen also hung a large heavy stone on himself to help him go down.

Before diving too deep, he suddenly encountered a hard object while waving his arm, which seemed to be movable.

"What is it?"

Garen pulled hard, and suddenly a pale human face appeared in front of him. The face belonged to the corpse of a woman, one of her arms being held in Garon's hand.

The female corpse's eyes were wide open, and her eyeballs were soaked until they turned green and black. Her clothes were corroded and destroyed, and most of her body had rotten holes.

Leaving the body behind, Garen calmly continued to dive deeper, keeping alert at all times.

Guru

Several bubbles floated upward along the lake water. The deeper you dived, the water became clearer and clearer, gradually changing from dark green to light green, with a density similar to that of clear water.

Garen can hold his breath for half an hour, which is no problem at all. He himself is not considered a human physique. After practicing and transforming the Cold Hell Peacock Technique, he is about to become the basic larvae of the cosmic creature, the Cold Hell Peacock. As long as you pass the basic stage, you can completely become a basic larvae. Therefore, the radiation from the lake water is highly toxic to ordinary people. As long as the cold energy radiation does not disappear, it will have no effect on him.

Wow..

Garen suddenly heard a sound coming from the right front. He looked through the glasses of the protective suit, but he could only see a green color and nothing.

Suddenly, black, finger-long worms suddenly appeared around the lake. They were like the most common caterpillars. They were all black with a shiny black hard shell on their backs. Their bodies were squirming one by one, moving towards the lake. Long's position was surrounded by people from all directions.

Garen was startled and quickly increased the radiation cold energy to a range of one meter around him.

Soon, the first caterpillar entered the range of cold energy radiation, quickly condensed into a lump of ice, and sank directly. The second caterpillar also entered the range and froze into ice. Same goes for Article 3 and Article 4. Until Article 25.

Garen finally breathed a sigh of relief. In order to kill these bugs, he spent at least half of his cold energy.

After swimming for a while, I looked around and saw no such caterpillars again.

He began to consider whether to continue diving.

"With my ability, if I continue to dive, the water pressure may shorten the dive time. It may be better if I can have a diving device."

He stretched out his hand and stirred it gently in the lake water, pushing aside some turbid sediment. He could vaguely see things a few meters away around him.

Faintly, he seemed to see a black shadow swimming towards him in the distance.

"what is that?"

The black shadow is getting closer and closer.

Soon it came into Garon's visual range.

It was a completely naked jet-black water snake. The body is more than ten meters long, but is only as thick as an arm. Its head has sharp teeth like hairtails, and its two small eyes flash green fluorescence in the lake water.

Garen was not surprised but overjoyed, this guy was obviously a beast in the water.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched the water snake's head, and a faint wave spread out.

The water snake's eyes showed awe and joy, showing its extraordinary intelligence. It allowed Gallon to stroke its head, and its body gently surrounded Gallon, forming a snake coil.

"Take me to this most popular place." Garen took out a fist-sized white light stone from the pocket of his protective suit and shook it at the water snake.

A hint of the golden color of the ancient nine-headed dragon flashed faintly in his pupils, which was a message conveyed by pure soul fluctuations. After transmitting the information according to the method of the totem world, he was not sure whether the water snake could understand what he meant, so he just stared at this guy closely.

There was a simple doubt in the water snake's eyes, and it bit the white colored stone in one bite, then turned its head and swam towards the lower left side.

Garen quickly grabbed its tail and was driven downstream at high speed.

The water on both sides of the surrounding area was turbulent and very fast. The water snake's body of more than ten meters was like a beast. It was more than ten times faster than Garen's own speed. After swimming down for more than half a minute, a black patch of darkness quickly appeared in front of it. Almost like a mountain wall, there are caves of different sizes like honeycombs on the mountain wall.

The water snake pulled Garen into a large cave and burrowed in like a tunnel for several minutes. In the middle, I once again encountered many black arthropod insects. They were densely packed together and seemed to be gnawing on something.

Water snakes seem to be very taboo about bugs, and bugs seem to actively avoid water snakes. Both of them do not infringe and pass through safely.

Garen also felt his scalp numb as he pulled the water snake's tail. He had consumed more than half of his cold energy by killing more than twenty insects just now. Now he encountered so many, at least thousands. If a war started, he would really be in such an environment. It's much less likely to happen.

Fortunately, the ancient nine-headed dragon's soul and will attributes allowed him to get close to the water snakes and avoid being entangled by these insects.

Looking at the thing that the insects were gnawing densely, it turned out to be a broken piece of metal alloy. The sharp teeth of the insects kept biting the metal, making a fine clicking sound.

Passing through the swarm of insects, the water snake began to move upward, and the tunnel cave quickly climbed upward.

I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed to be more than ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes, when there was a sound of water rushing in front of me.

Garen suddenly felt himself coming out of the water and being carried by a water snake into a warm cave.

He took a deep breath. The outside air was quickly filtered by the air filtration system of the protective suit and replaced with breathable safe gas. After taking a breath, he began to look at his surroundings.

The cave is not big, only the size of a small living room.

But Garen's eyes suddenly widened, revealing the slightest bit of uncontrollable joy.

The walls around the entire cave, including the rocks on the ground, are all white. They are all large areas of white malachite! !

The entire cave is made of white malachite.

"This is the vein of white malachite!"

Garen patted the water snake's head hard to express his satisfaction.

The water snake hissed and showed joy. It walked around in a circle and spit out the piece of white malachite in its mouth.

"Go ahead and have a good rest."

Garen let go of the water snake and began to carefully explore the entire cave structure. Walking to the cave wall, he pressed a button on the collar of the protective suit.

The small words "route in memory" appeared on Galleon's glasses.

The route he took just now was quickly recorded by a simple chip on his clothes.

After sorting out the map route, Garen thought for a moment, walked to the stone wall on the right, took off his protective clothing, and exposed his arms directly to the air.

No longer suppressing the natural release of cold energy radiation, Garen gently pressed his palms against the stone wall.

Hiss. Peng..!

After a small sound, a puff of white smoke suddenly burst out between the palm and the stone wall.

A large number of blue threads densely drilled out of the palm of Gallon's hand and pierced into the stone wall, frantically absorbing the dense material components in the white malachite like greedy parasites.

The stone wall weathered rapidly, collapsing into pieces of powder falling down. Like an infection, the weathered area spread rapidly from the area Gallon touched. In less than half a minute, the entire surrounding stone wall cave began to shake slightly, and all the white malachite began to Weathered and turned into a large amount of powder and gravel falling down.

Garen stood in front of the stone wall with his eyes closed, his whole body making a slight sizzling sound, and fine blue scales slowly began to appear on the surface of his body. Snake-like scales began to spread on the face, body, arms, ears, and all skin surfaces. The protective clothing was gradually filled with a faint fishy smell, which became stronger and stronger.

Opening his eyes, Garen took a look at the changes on his body.

"The closer we get to the fifth level, the less human-like our bodies become."

Looking at the progress on the property bar, I saw that the completion of the fifth level has reached 42%, and it is still improving rapidly.

"As long as we break through the basic level, there should be a very high qualitative change, and I shouldn't be disappointed." Garen reviewed the records in the Secret Martial Arts of Life, closed his eyes again and began to concentrate on absorbing a large amount of malachite essence.

His body began to change more and more, his arms began to grow some sharp water chestnut protrusions, and dense dark blue filaments like grass roots began to grow behind him, like long hair, but they could move and intertwine freely.

The biggest change is that his size is getting bigger and taller, from the original 1.78 meters to 2 meters. The muscles on his body are becoming more and more defined, and the scales on his skin are becoming more and more obvious. Like a strong warrior wearing snake scale armor.

As time passed, Garen gradually became immersed in the pleasure of improvement.

******************

Colorful lakeside

The sky gradually turned brighter, and more than a dozen people in black mechas gradually flew in the distant sky. The ultra-miniature mechas on these people were exactly the same as those of the previous group of wasps.

More than a dozen mecha-clad men landed and began searching around the lake.

"Boss! We found an aircraft. It's a single-person aircraft. It's a very new model. It should have been brought out by those natural people!"

A mecha suit found Garen's single-person aircraft left by the lake.

After hearing the clue, the tallest person in the group flew over, landed in front of the aircraft, and patted the propeller of the aircraft.

"It must belong to that natural person. Since it is left here casually, it is either not wanted or there is no way to take it." His voice was rough, but his words were delicate.

There was a slight commotion among the people around, and some people actually didn't quite understand what he meant.

"What the boss means is that this person either left on his own and doesn't want this thing anymore, or he had an accident and can't come back for the time being." A female voice next to him explained.

"Mondeo, are you sure that natural man didn't wear any armor, so he just killed a member of your team!?" The boss turned to ask the mecha suit at the back.

"Yes, that's absolutely right. If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly enough, or if he wanted to stay alive and ask for news, I wouldn't have been able to go back!" Mondeo explained quickly.

The boss was silent for a moment and saw that the mecha suits around him were waiting for him to make up his mind.

A natural person, a powerful natural person who suddenly appeared here, has the ability to quickly deal with five mecha suits, and is very likely to deal with the remaining dozen or so mecha suits.

"Don't mess with him. This man is very powerful. He might be a master sent by the big guys in the region to perform tasks. Even if not, we can't handle him alone."

"The mecha suits of those five people have been found. Boss, why don't we withdraw first." Someone suggested.

"Evacuate first. Don't worry about him in this area for now. Let's not come here for the time being. We will come back after the man leaves." The boss obeyed the advice decisively and was not embarrassed at all. In the radiation belt, it is natural for the strong to be respected. . There is no shame in avoiding and running away.

The group of people moved the mecha suits and left quickly. Mondeo finally landed at the end of the group and looked back at the huge colorful light lake.

"A natural person." A strong yearning flashed in his eyes.
