CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 649: ENTHUSIASTIC DEEP DIVER

In the snow-covered environment, the Huan Team was mentally exhausted. After having dinner, they all crawled into their sleeping bags.

Lu Zixun, who had been through the fourth level baptism of the Trial Land, didn’t feel anything unusual.

After chatting with Lin Siyin for a bit and coaxing her to sleep, Lu Zixun stepped outside the cave.

The snow mountain, connected to the underground, reminded Lu Zixun of the Underground Kingdom.

However, without the guidance of the Trial Tower, aimlessly searching for the Underground Kingdom seemed quite unrealistic.

Moreover, whether the Snowfield Frost Land harbored an Underground Kingdom was still a question.

Summoning the Night Evil Sword to guard the cave entrance, Lu Zixun prepared to take a look in the sea.

He silently cracked open the ice and, transforming into a cat, activated his Spiritual Power Shield and slipped in.

Even with the Spiritual Power Shield, the sensation of Sea Energy carried by the sea water still made Lu Zixun feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

Fortunately, in his cat form, the Protective Shield was smaller, minimizing the scouring effect of the seawater.

The world beneath the ice was different from the one above. Lu Zixun saw many sea creatures, carrying Sea Energy, grouping together. They were malevolent toward Lu Zixun, but sensing his strong Spiritual Energy, they did not attack.

What strange creatures, they’d probably be delicious if cooked, right?

As Lu Zixun was thinking this, a mysterious light caught his attention.

There was light under the sea, an abnormality that would be regretful to ignore without investigating.

After all, there’s a saying, "since we’re here."

Concealing his presence, he slowly approached the source of the light, which turned out to be a lamp already corroded by the seawater.

It lit up only after the Sea Energy was flushed into it by the seawater.

Seizing the Sea Energy Lamp, Lu Zixun examined it carefully and found that it wasn’t a product of the Crimson Land.

It seemed more like something left behind by humans of this world, with a string of numbers on its base.

[754-85-500]

It looked like coordinates, but also somewhat like a phone number.

This discovery had Lu Zixun narrowing his eyes; he was now certain that humans had once lived within the Snowfield Frost Land.

But for some unknown reason, these humans had disappeared.

Lu Zixun searched around where he found the Sea Energy Lamp but came up empty-handed.

Slightly disappointed, Lu Zixun continued to dive deeper into the sea, eager to see what lay at the bottom.

As Lu Zixun descended further, the pressure of the surrounding seawater grew progressively greater.

Even Lu Zixun had to fully concentrate on pouring Spiritual Energy into his Shield to withstand the pressure.

Luckily, he made another discovery.

Deep in the sea, at an unknown number of meters below the surface, Lu Zixun found a bizarre wooden house that stood immovable against the sea’s relentless currents.

After checking with Spiritual Energy Silk and detecting nothing unusual, Lu Zixun cautiously approached.

Pushing open the wooden door, he could see the interior of the house.

At this moment, under the battering of the seawater, aside from a wooden table, there was nothing else left in the house.

Approaching the wooden table slowly, Lu Zixun noticed there were once engravings on it.

Regrettably, it was impossible to discern what had been carved there.

Opening a drawer, an A4-sized card flew out, but Lu Zixun, with quick reflexes, caught it before it could be swept away by the water.

The material of this card was extremely hard, not inferior to the Obsidian of Crimson Land.

Lu Zixun, who had never expected the Snowfield Frost Land to possess such materials, revealed a puzzled expression in his eyes.

With such materials, how could those weak Deep Divers have been beaten until they vanished without a trace?

"744-14-520, Today the sea level rose again, submerging the cabin I’m in. When will such days come to an end?"

"744-15-570, I can enter the sea as soon as I leave the house, I can feel the malicious gazes of the Deep Divers; it looks like I have to abandon this place, we need to move to higher ground."

"744-16-600, This morning I woke up to the slapping of the sea water, but luckily, the Extraordinary Power that reinforced the cabin is still there, the Deep Divers can’t enter. But today I have to leave; this place has to be abandoned. When will such a life come to an end?"

It was content like a diary, recorded on the card by the owner of the cabin.

The three numbers at the front seemed to represent different things.

The first could be the year, the second should be the date, but what was the last one?

And the recorded content also made Lu Zixun think of something.

The Snowfield Frost Land, a long time ago, might not have looked this way.

It was just that one day the sea level kept rising, directly destroying human habitats.

And the speed of sea level rise didn’t stop, plus the threat of the Deep Divers, the humans of the Snowfield Frost Land might have just silently perished.

After tucking the card away, Lu Zixun moved closer to the wood wall and lifted a paw to feel it.

He discovered remnants of Extraordinary Power and narrowed his eyes slightly.

To possess Extraordinary Power meant that these humans had Divine protection, so how could they have perished?

At this moment, Lu Zixun had a vague feeling that the humans of the Snowfield Frost Land had not perished.

Attempting to go further down, Lu Zixun found that the pressure of the surrounding seawater was already too much for the Spiritual Power Shield to withstand.

With no other choice, he could only float upwards to get some air before coming back down.

As Lu Zixun ascended, a Deep Diver appeared before him.

Looking at Lu Zixun, who had deactivated the Spiritual Shield while categorically swimming upward...

The Deep Diver opened its mouth slightly: "Sea... sea... sea cat?!"

"Ding—A surprise value of +32000 detected from Hai Zhuming."

A J-level Spiritual Ability User.

Lu Zixun glanced at Hai Zhuming without speaking and continued to drift toward the surface.

"Do you want to go up to the ice layer? Don’t do it."

Hai Zhuming floated in front of Lu Zixun, blocking his way and said earnestly, "The Clan Leader told me that recently a kind of Demon called ’Spiritual Ability User’ appeared on the ice layer; they kill people! Um... maybe also cats!"

"Sister, I’m not some sea cat, I am the ’Spiritual Ability User’ you mentioned."

Muttering to himself internally, Lu Zixun skirted around Hai Zhuming.

"Do you insist on going up?"

Hai Zhuming sighed despondently: "Then let me take you up, but after daylight, it’s best to come back to the Deep Sea. Those Spiritual Ability Users like to move about during the day."

Before Lu Zixun could react, Hai Zhuming had already darted under him, dragging him towards the ice layer.

Her speed was more than three times that of Lu Zixun at full strength...

The corner of his mouth twitched, looking at Hai Zhuming, Lu Zixun felt conflicted.

Could it be, this is another world’s kind-hearted person?

Having reached below the ice layer, Hai Mingzhu deliberately stopped to sense the surroundings.

After confirming that there were no Spiritual Ability Users active nearby, she then turned to whisper to Lu Zixun: "Go up quickly, now there are no Spiritual Ability Users. If you see one, run back here immediately, I’ll wait for you."
