Chapter 409: Chapter 408 Frozen Throne Chapter 409: Chapter 408 Frozen Throne Shao Zifeng plunged into the Under Ice Lake, and the cold liquid instantly enveloped his entire body. Though he had experienced subrsion before, he still instinctively held his breath.
Opening his eyes, he scanned the water around him. The waters of the Under Ice Lake were crystal clear, but due to the lack of light source, the depth below—it was pitch black, like an endless abyss.
Translucent Crystal Fish swam past him, almost rging with the lake water.
After a mont, the breath-held Shao Zifeng felt a bit suffocated.
Hesitating for a while, a series of bubbles rose from his mouth, then he took a deep breath.
The icy liquid flowed into his lungs through his windpipe, instantly easing the choking sensation from his breath-holding, but the feeling of being filled with liquid was not pleasant.
Soon after, Shao Zifeng stopped hesitating, determined the direction and, biting his dagger, swam towards the center of the lake.
This unnad Under Ice Lake was quite small; the distance from the shore to the center was only about a hundred ters by estimation.
However, this distance posed a significant challenge to Shao Zifeng, who was not proficient in swimming.
Moreover, he had overlooked an important fact before taking action—that the temperature of the lake was extrely low. Moreover, his lungs had filled with icy liquid; the heat produced by his body was far from compensating for what was absorbed by the liquid, quickly lowering his body temperature until his limbs felt sowhat stiff.
Realizing his oversight, Shao Zifeng cursed silently but did not panic overly.
His ice-blue irises extended outward, and the ice elents exuding from his body condensed into veil-like fins on his ears.
In just monts, the stiffness in his limbs dissipated.
Shao Zifeng assessed his condition and then continued swimming towards Lake Heart Island.
Unnoticed by him, as the ice elents surged out, a pair of aquamarine eyes suddenly opened in the deep, dark waters.
Clang!
The Karen family’s glory, shining with a cold glint, plunged directly into the dark brown rocks. Shao Zifeng, holding onto the hilt, slowly walked out from the water.
Simultaneously, the characteristics of the Ice Horned Whale on his body dissipated into light particles in the air.
Thud!
Just as he stood on the uneven surface of Lake Heart Island, Shao Zifeng suddenly kicked sothing.
He looked down and saw not far ahead of him an irregular stone gently wobbling, its gray-white surface marked with twisted patterns.
“Another one,”
He picked up the stone, and its cold touch gave him a peculiar feeling.
Shao Zifeng seriously compared it with the one he had found before and realized that, apart from the shape of the stone, there was no significant difference. He felt that these stones were not as simple as they seed.
Yet oddly, the external device in his peripheral vision never gave him any energy feedback.
After thinking for a mont, Shao Zifeng pocketed the stone and turned to observe Lake Heart Island.
The area of Lake Heart Island was not large; it was mainly composed of dark brown rocks, resembling a reef suddenly protruding from the sea, yet its terrain was much more gradual than those abrupt reefs.
There were no animals or plants on the island as Shao Zifeng had hoped for, just clusters of ice crystals in the crevices of the rocks, gathering together like unique vegetation on Lake Heart Island.
The closer he got to the center, the larger the ice crystals grew, looking like a huge tree made of ice crystals at the very center.
Shao Zifeng carefully surveyed the surroundings, holding the Karen family’s glory, and slowly walked towards the ice crystal tree at the center of the lake.
On his way to the center of the island, Shao Zifeng found a few more patterned stones.
However, this ti he did not stop, heading straight for the other side of the island.
As he walked past the ice crystal tree, Shao Zifeng glanced at it subconsciously.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
The chaotic display of ice crystals intertwined like a myriad of swords, forming a semicircular backrest.
Beneath it was an ice crystal carved armrest and footrest.
This was no ice crystal tree.
It was clearly a throne!!
Seeing this, Shao Zifeng instantly tensed. He drew the dagger in his hand, clutching it invertedly as his eyes swept suspiciously from side to side.
Ti slowly passed, and all around remained silent, even the sound of the lting ice water flowing from the distant cave diminished a bit.
Shao Zifeng’s adam’s apple bobbed up and down, his rapid heartbeats gradually calming.
Since entering Antarctica, he had never felt as tense as he did now, not even when facing the ‘Miser’ Jack and a pack of Snow Soul Wolves.
He just couldn’t understand.
This weird place.
Why would there be a throne here!
“Yo~”
At that mont, the sound of a deer suddenly ca from the distance as the vines tied around Shao Zifeng’s waist tightened, and the mist around Lake Heart Island began to swirl rapidly.
“Damn it!”
Shao Zifeng widened his eyes, only to see the deer breaking through the mist like a slingshot and smashing towards him.
Splash!
With a heavy thud, his back slamd against the rocks, causing Shao Zifeng to grimace in pain.
If it was just the deer’s weight, it might have been okay, but the key was that it also brought a toothed dragon along.
The toothed dragon, looking bewildered, blinked its eyes; the collision it imagined didn’t happen, but it felt sothing soft beneath it.
“Cough, cough… How long do you plan on sitting there.”
That person’s voice.
The toothed dragon looked around left and right, finally noticing Shao Zifeng beneath it.
“Gurgle…”
The toothed dragon hurriedly stood up from Shao Zifeng’s body, stepping once more on his stomach.
The pain made Shao Zifeng curl up.
Seeing this, the little creature beca even more panicked, standing by and lowering its head not knowing what to do.
Shao Zifeng, rubbing his stomach and sitting up, glared fiercely at the deer, “You’re still laughing, help up quickly.”
“Yo yo~”
Grinning, the deer approached and helped Shao Zifeng up with the vines.
Seeing its deanor, Shao Zifeng felt sowhat helpless.
Sotis this deer was very reliable, yet at other tis it acted like a child.
Really didn’t know if thinking too much caused the deer to split its personality.
“Yo!”
The deer looked at Shao Zifeng puffily, and he then realized the deer could feel his emotions whenever it wanted, even in the beast space.
Thinking this, Shao Zifeng paused and looked at it thoughtfully.
Because after the commotion just now, his nervous emotions had dissipated instead.
“Did you feel everything that just happened?”
“Yo?”
The deer tilted its head, its large eyes looking innocently at him.
Shao Zifeng felt helpless.
Always pretending to be dumb, pretending to be confused, acting pitiful.
He patted the toothed dragon’s head, indicating he was okay, then Shao Zifeng prepared to continue exploring the unexplored areas.
“Yo~”
At that mont, the deer walked not far in front of the throne and used its hoof to point at a relatively flat piece of land, signaling Shao Zifeng to co over.
“What did you find?”
Shao Zifeng went forward and carefully examined that piece of land.
The dark brown ground, in contrast to other parts of Lake Heart Island, was smooth and covered with a thick layer of frost.
After he swept away the frost on top,
a circle about one ter in diater appeared before his eyes.
Shao Zifeng was startled.
For, as he saw the circle, a blue light in the corner of his eye started spinning rapidly.
