Capítulo 2062: Chapter 1668: Chance Encounter (Double-Length)

“Oh no!”

Su Ran was shocked to discover a powerful suction coming from the bottom of the lake, drawing him in along with two ice chunks, unable to resist at all.

In his panic, Su Ran considered using the magic technique Bone Burst to withstand the suction using its three seconds of invincibility. But then he thought, the cooldown time is too long; if he encounters an unbeatable boss, he’d lose a life-saving trick!

Therefore, Su Ran decided to take a gamble. The system couldn’t possibly go all out on him right away. There must be some hidden mystery beneath this lake!

With this in mind, he quickly adjusted his mindset and was sucked into the lake bed along with Nan Qiang Bei Diao, crashing onto a solid teleportation array.

Instantly, the teleportation array radiated with light, directly transferring Su Ran and the others away, disappearing from the bone-chilling lake water.

“Sure enough, it’s not a death trap!”

Seeing the teleportation array, the heart that Su Ran had held in suspense finally settled. The shock in his eyes was replaced by excitement. No matter where they were teleported to, it was better than dying here!

This might turn out to be a rare opportunity!

Indeed, fortune lies beyond misfortune, and misfortune hides within fortune!

Thankfully, the teleportation didn’t take long. Two breaths hadn’t passed when the scene before Su Ran changed drastically.

This was a grid-like space of pure white, with no trace of lake water. A dangerous aura floated in the air, making the atmosphere quite oppressive, and Su Ran felt a bit uneasy, not daring to take risks with his body.

“Oh no, I forgot to rescue people!”

Once he adapted to the environment before him, Su Ran realized he’d forgotten about the two ice chunks!

“Cough cough, if they suffocate, that’ll be on me…”

Su Ran quickly pulled out his novice pickaxe and started chiseling at Nan Qiang’s head. With his mining level, breaking through the ice was overkill, and in no time, Nan Qiang was breathing fresh air again.

“Whoo~~~~”

Nan Qiang took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, complaining on the spot, “Damn, I almost suffocated!”

“Hold on, big brother, I’ll dig you out!”

Su Ran swung his pickaxe towards Nan Qiang’s ear, almost scaring him to death.

“Stop stop stop, Overturning Water bro, don’t you have any other tools? This pickaxe is too dangerous. If it accidentally hits my neck, my head might just pop off!”

Nan Qiang hurriedly stopped him, his face devoid of color, unsure if it was from the cold or fright.

“Big brother, why are you so scared? Don’t you trust my mining skills?”

Su Ran raised his pickaxe to dig again, but Nan Qiang quickly stopped him again. He spoke so fast that spit flew out.

“Overturning Water bro, I trust you’re good at mining, but this is about people! Forget it, you don’t have to save me. Rescue Bei Diao first. My heart can’t take it; freezing to death is better than being dug to death…”

Nan Qiang couldn’t handle the stress of this, my god, pickaxe strike after pickaxe strike; even if it didn’t kill him, it might drive him crazy!

“Sigh, Brother Nan Qiang, I didn’t think you’d be such a big guy but such a coward. Fine, stay put; I’ll get Brother Bei Diao out first!”

Su Ran shook his head in disbelief, carried his pickaxe over to Bei Diao, and began digging.

“Overturning Water brother, thank you.”

Bei Diao wasn’t as helpless as Nan Qiang; he let Su Ran dig him out and then cast two healing spells on himself, fully restoring his health.

“Uh, Overturning Water bro, could you dig me out too? Being stuck here isn’t great either…”

Seeing Bei Diao escape unscathed, Nan Qiang couldn’t wait any longer and eagerly looked at Su Ran, hoping for rescue.

“Oh no, the pickaxe has no eyes. What if it injures you? If it gives you a heart attack, the blame would be on me. The temperature in this space isn’t low, and these ice chunks will thaw soon enough.”

Su Ran wouldn’t let Nan Qiang off that easily, chuckling as he said, “Big brother, didn’t you say freezing is better than being dug out? Just endure it; you’ll defrost soon.”

“Overturning Water bro, don’t hold it against me. If I keep freezing, what if my parts below freeze too?”

“Just let him sit there, Overturning Water brother. Summon your pet to explore the reality of this space.”

Nan Qiang, stuck in the ice, managed to calm Bei Diao’s anger, curiously observing the space around him without daring to act rashly.

“Alright then!”

Su Ran’s sympathetic gaze lingered on Nan Qiang’s face for about three seconds before he summoned ten shield warrior skeletons, along with the Iron-blood Sand Puppet and Wang Cai, instantly raising the level of safety.

He then commanded the shield warrior skeletons to walk around, trying to trigger all the hidden traps and mechanisms so there would be nothing to worry about.

As expected, when the skeletons reached the center, the entire space trembled. Pillar-like platforms rose one after another. Inside the stone columns was a two-meter square space, holding a gold lump that looked like a gold mine, but the size was too large. If it was pure gold, it would truly be valuable.

“Gold ore!”

Su Ran exclaimed in surprise, never expecting this to be a lucky landscape. These ten or so stone columns represented ten or more gold mines!
