Chapter 1843: Chapter 1840: The Eerie Cold Chamber
Due to the distance being too far, Nicholas’s perception cannot reach it, and he can only observe the situation of another mysterious team through Han Dong’s shared vision.
“The Shattered Dimension is not a place ordinary people can enter.
Existences as extreme as Professor Morgan are very rare, and most demons won’t risk their lives by coming here for a ‘meaningless’ dimensional adventure.
Even if there are very few who come in, the probability of bumping into us is almost zero.
Besides, I’ve never seen the structure of this spaceship, nor can I identify the material… it’s very strange. I suspect they may not even be creatures from our world.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that these guys are not ‘locals.’
They deliberately chose to dock their spaceship on the backside of the land, also using the method of lurking to delve into this area.”
On Han Dong’s side, he showed a difficult expression,
He wanted to see the appearance of these guys, but was blocked by a certain repulsive force, and could only see a bunch of humanoid shadows.
“Due to the interference of the Shattered Dimension, the effect of [The Eye] diminishes exponentially every kilometer… it’s impossible to see these guys clearly, but their overall form seems to lean towards human beings.
To determine their identity, close contact would probably be necessary.”
“Strange things are piling up more and more…”
Though Nicholas showed a worried appearance on the surface, deep down he was quite pleased.
He hadn’t felt such a ‘completely unknown’ situation for a long time.
It even reminded Nicholas of the novelty of his first exploration in the Demon World after emerging from the Void… with an added touch of danger.
“Han Dong, you should be aware… except for exceptional cases like us.
To explore in the Shattered Dimensions, one must possess a King Level standard. Only through the “King Domain” derived from the Mythical Scrolls can one stabilize certain rules here and move steadily forward.
Even if these guys are not all kings, at least one king is leading them.
If encountered, a conflict might very well erupt.”
“As long as it doesn’t reach the Middle Rank level, I have confidence to handle it… let alone with both of you here.”
When Han Dong said these words, Nicholas immediately cast a side glance using “Star Eye,”
Only to see a confident and slightly mad smiling face, with no hint of boasting.
“Where does Han Dong’s confidence come from? How much have you grown during this period?”
Just like that,
After roughly figuring out that group’s movement path,
Han Dong and Nicholas both lay down on their beds for a short rest.
Han Dong had a very strange dream, dreaming that he ate something bad and found a place to use the toilet, accidentally slipping during the squat.
Pak!
The moment he dropped into the pit, he immediately woke up.
Only to see Eugene with green hair standing in front of him, asking curiously, “Why are you all asleep? Why did the spaceship stop too…”
Eugene, though absorbed all the secretions from his body through a self-purifying system, was still emanating a strong smell.
After Han Dong briefly explained the encountered situation,
Eugene immediately got serious, believing that such a huge mysterious land must contain not just one ‘ancient corpse.’
The planet suspended at a relatively safe distance, activating anti-detection and conceal modes.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Three spore-like plant cabins shot from the surface towards the back of the Frozen Land.
Approaching at about 30km, there was even a feeling of crossing the ‘atmosphere.’
However, the spore cabin surfaces did not heat up due to rapid air friction, but rather were covered with a thick layer of ice.
When about to land,
Soft tentacles grew from the rear end to provide enough buffer space for a stable landing.
The plant cabins, which should have ‘bloomed’ at the top, were jammed due to severe freezing.
Hum!
Nicholas directly ignored the physical obstacles and stepped through the walls.
Han Dong and Eugene used a more forceful method to break open the cabin.
“So cold!”
The world of S-01 rarely has such cold regions; this extreme low temperature is more than just freezing; even basic substance movement is restricted.
Each of them brought out different skills to impede the extreme cold.
Han Dong, through “disguising” as Polar Life, grew white fur all over his body, with a Black Whirlpool quickly rotating on the surface to adapt to such extreme cold as much as possible.
He looked like he was wearing a super thick, very furry Polar Bear coat.
Nicholas didn’t change much,
simply created a void barrier plastered over the body surface, blocking out the extreme cold in advance without any impact.
Eugene compressed his body to about one meter forty through the Shoggoth Clan’s shape-shifting abilities, even changing his appearance to look like a middle schooler… reducing heat loss by compressing body volume.
Meanwhile, he took out a black meat robe made from the original materials of the “Black Flesh Mountain,” wrapped himself up and put on a hood.
The black skin on the surface could effectively resist cold, while the flesh inside transmitted suitable temperatures.
Since the landing position was located at the “lower end,”
they could clearly see the ‘legs’ growing beneath this land, indeed belonging to a giant column structure with a bone material that emitted strong stabilizing energy, rooted in void space.
Nicholas also confirmed that this bone structure had no relation to the Vodas Tribe, not belonging to their technological products.
Han Dong thus speculated, ‘Could it be that the remnant pages here belong to the Book of Dead Spirit’s Bone Part?’
When Han Dong observed these skeletal pillars,
Nicholas had already drawn a stable transfer matrix, whoosh! Teleporting everyone directly to the land area.
The biting cold wind howled continuously,
If a common person stayed here, they’d be completely frozen within two seconds and thrown into the dimensional depths by the biting cold.
Han Dong, each using their own methods to root on the ground meanwhile, opened their perceptions fully to confirm there was no presence of any entities within a ten-mile radius.
A flat, oval-shaped small bunker was coincidentally positioned less than a kilometer away.
Eugene was eager to go inside, perhaps a suitable ancient corpse was preserved in there.
“Let’s go! First figure out what kind of creature lives here… I’ll go ahead, Eugene, you follow behind me and use the [Eye] to assist in observing.
Nicholas, you stay at the back, if anything goes wrong, evacuate us immediately.
We haven’t carried out any valid risk assessment yet; evacuation must be decisive.”
“Rest assured.”
With Nicholas taking the rear position, Han Dong and Eugene both felt completely assured… they no longer had any worries as they proceeded to the bunker location.
“Hm? The temperature inside is actually a bit higher? Has the power supply been cut off?”
Upon stepping into the bunker.
The temperature rose by about twenty degrees, and with the howling cold wind stopping, Han Dong had an illusion of warmth.
The interior had a rather large circular passageway, giving off an impression of walking inside a cave.
Han Dong had the Truth Magic Sword hung at his waist, while Eugene had drawn a stone coffin sealing a spear from his body, carrying it on his back.
“Such dense internal structure, is it a communal living quarters?”
The passage sides had tightly arranged compartments meant for living, seemingly akin to student dormitories.
With bunk structures up, middle, and down, only ten square meters could accommodate eighteen people to rest, narrow passageways.
But, all these beds were empty, not a single corpse.
While everyone observed the compartment structure, attempting to scout for possible survival clues internally,
Han Dong and Eugene simultaneously caught eye of something, side-eyed towards the depths of the passageway…
Hum!
Han Dong raised his left arm, projecting a [Death] shot straight ahead,
Eugene also made a similar move, shooting a green ray with his right index finger.
However, the two attacks aimed deep inside had no response, with the target already lost.
“Eugene, what did you just see?”
“A faintly visible skull with blue light seeming to emerge from its eye sockets.”
“Indeed… I saw a skull as well.
Very strange, even if our attacks did not hit, they should have hit the bunker wall producing sound… yet there is no feedback whatsoever.
Be cautious, continue to proceed.
Sure enough, it relates to the bones…”
