Chapter 1345 - 678: Permafrost Dracognathus
Poof!
Liang Yuan forcibly shattered the sea of consciousness of this strange insect, directly killing it.
As the sea of consciousness of the strange insect exploded, its life force faded away.
Liang Yuan activated the Vacuum Flash Flame, incinerating the carcass of the insect.
Perhaps due to the ice attribute, the insect’s body was incredibly resistant to burning.
It took a full ten minutes for Liang Yuan to completely burn this strange insect.
"Huh, what’s this?"
Under the burning flames, the strange insect had been reduced to a pool of molten boiling water.
However, beneath the evaporating water, a large ice-blue shell remained unscathed.
Liang Yuan put away the Vacuum Flash Flame and waved a hand, bringing the huge insect shell over to him.
Only to see the shell covered with a dense array of runes.
It’s not just one, but a whole array of runes!
All of these runes were ice blue, forming an extremely complex runic pattern.
"Rune Bone!"
Liang Yuan suddenly felt a surge of joy; this monster actually dropped a Rune Bone!
Moreover, this Rune Bone was different from the ones he had obtained previously.
This Rune Bone did not contain just one rune, but an entire set of runes.
Liang Yuan immediately activated his [Spiritual Ability Assessment] skill.
"Item analysis... Frozen Earth Dragon Louse carcass... Rune Bone..."
"Main attribute... Ice Attribute... Secondary attribute... Spirit Attribute..."
"Rune Bone Assessment... Eternal Night Freezing Rune Array..."
A flood of information poured into Liang Yuan’s mind.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but show a look of delight.
"It truly is a Rune Bone! And it comes with a Rune Array!"
"This kind of Rune Bone must be of an absolutely purple level quality!"
Liang Yuan was ecstatic, thinking that if he mastered the Rune Array on this bone, wouldn’t he have control over a large Rune Array?
Especially since this Rune Array is ice attribute, his Ice Bear Genetic Map could fully utilize this array.
"Frozen Earth Dragon Louse... where did this thing come from? The Great Flood didn’t drown it?"
Liang Yuan was secretly astonished; now that most of the land had been submerged, where else would there be any frozen earth?
Putting away the shell, he planned to study it carefully later.
For now, the urgent task was to check out the situation in Misty City and what was behind the so-called Ice Goddess.
"Mr. Liang, what should we do next?" Han Xiangman walked up to Liang Yuan, inquiring about the next steps.
Liang Yuan said, "The Dark Abyss Mouth has been unsealed, and Fan Mountain Town has sustained considerable damage, especially the Mutated Sunflowers are on the brink of death. You should stay to sort things out at the Dark Abyss Mouth."
"I’ll head to Baoshan City to see what exactly has happened."
Han Xiangman was tempted to join, but knowing her own abilities wouldn’t be much help, she felt a bit dejected.
Liang Yuan seemed to notice her emotions and said, "Yangshan has recently developed a genetic apparatus that can help superpower users break through gene recombination."
"Use this time to cultivate and try to break through gene recombination. When you return to Yangshan, perhaps you can use the apparatus to achieve a breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiangman was pleasantly surprised and looked up, "There’s such an apparatus?"
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, Ding Yan and Zhao Kai have already been breaking through one after another. They are now able to gene recombine and transform into Genetic Map creatures."
"Their combat power has significantly increased."
"Soon, Yangshan’s experts in gene recombination will increase in an explosive manner. You, Wu Ying, and Zhang Peng shouldn’t fall behind."
Han Xiangman was filled with excitement and immediately nodded, "Okay, I’ll go tell them the good news right now."
Liang Yuan then left the Dark Abyss Mouth and quickly headed for Baoshan City.
Upon returning to Baoshan City, Liang Yuan first visited Yang Baoshan.
From afar, cooking smoke was still rising on Yang Baoshan, as if someone was cooking up a meal.
Liang Yuan flew over Yang Baoshan, scanning the area.
He found that most of the people on the mountain were ordinary superpower users, not a single genetic species level superpower user was present.
Liang Yuan descended to find a superpower user.
"You, you are Mr. Liang!"
This person recognized Liang Yuan and immediately exclaimed in joy.
Liang Yuan asked, "Where are the people of Yang Baoshan? Where is Tang Xing’an?"
This superpower user smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Liang, ever since you left, the people from Misty City have attacked again, and Director Tang and the others evacuated in advance."
"The people from Misty City started capturing people everywhere, all superpower users above Genetic Species Level have been taken by them."
"Where were they taken?"
"Misty City."
Liang Yuan nodded and asked several more questions about Beichen Island and Misty City.
However, this superpower user was clearly just an ordinary superpower user and knew too little about external affairs.
Liang Yuan asked no more questions, his body flashed, and he quickly flew towards Misty City.
He soon arrived at the location of Beichen Island and Misty City.
But now looking at this Misty City, Liang Yuan found that the mist that once covered the entire Floating Island had dissipated.
The Misty City, always shrouded in fog, had now turned into a vast island.
Beichen Island and Misty City were now frozen together by enormous ice blocks, expanding the area of the original Misty City significantly.
Behind the mist of the Misty City forest, on a vast ice field, half of a massive ice crystal palace had been constructed.
Individual superpower users, like ants, were transporting huge chunks of ice across the ice field, painstakingly building the ice sculpture palace.
Not just the palace, even outside various constructions are being expanded.
It seems as if they’re trying to build a massive ice crystal city.
Liang Yuan frowned, those captured genetic species superpower users are actually being used as labor to build the palace here.
Has Chang Yuntao gone mad?
Liang Yuan could hardly understand.
He flashed and hid into the shadows, quickly observing the secrets here.
This wasn’t his first time visiting Mist City, so he was quite familiar with everything here.
Quickly passing through the crowd, he sneaked into the palace.
However, the palace was still under construction, not yet complete outside, but inside was already finished.
Inside the palace, the ice blue solid ice emitted a low temperature.
Numerous ice attribute superpower users patrolled and guarded within.
In such an environment, only ice attribute superpower users could move freely.
Liang Yuan saw that Ji Liang, He Jun, and other former members of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion were all gathered here.
He silently hid, followed Ji Liang, and walked towards the inner area of the palace.
Along the way, many people knelt on one knee in salute to Ji Liang.
This saluting gesture was completely different from Liang Yuan’s understanding of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion.
The Ice Armor Soldier Legion had experienced civilized society, rarely kneeling in salute, this was too old-fashioned.
Even when Liang Yuan first came here, he hadn’t seen anyone performing such a saluting gesture.
"This Chang Yuntao really sees himself as the emperor?"
Liang Yuan sneered inwardly and continued to follow them inside.
Soon Ji Liang arrived at a hall.
The hall was empty, except for a figure sitting on an ice throne.
That figure was obscured by a curtain, making it hard to see the face.
But faintly, her graceful silhouette could be seen, it could be confirmed this was a woman!
Liang Yuan’s heart moved, immediately guessing this person is likely the so-called Ice Goddess!
"Lord, the construction progress of the Ice Divine Palace is over halfway, no more than ten days before the completion of the outer constructions."
Ji Liang knelt on one knee in salute, respectfully speaking.
From behind the curtain, a woman’s indifferent voice echoed: "So long?"
Ji Liang hastily explained: "Lord, manpower is severely lacking, and they are already working tirelessly."
"Many people are already about to collapse."
"Heh, a group of weaklings, with the physique of superpower users, even without sleep for ten days or half a month, they wouldn’t die, and yet they are collapsing?"
"Have people become so fragile now?"
Ji Liang lowered his head, not daring to reply.
"Go, capture the ordinary people from the nearby islands."
"Also, look for nearby shelters, bring back all the population."
"The Ice Nation is about to be established, we can’t be short of people."
Ji Liang’s heart skipped, immediately saying: "Lord, from what I know, about a hundred kilometers away, there is a large shelter gathering place called Yangshan Gathering Place."
"The population there, is estimated to exceed seven to eight thousand."
"Moreover, this shelter controls three floating islands, including the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, which you had previously suppressed in ice, owned by the leader of this shelter."
From the throne, a woman’s voice of interest came: "You mean that little fellow named Liang Yuan?"
In the shadows, Liang Yuan heard such a designation as ’little fellow’, and couldn’t help but frown deeply.
Is this woman very old?
Actually calling him a little fellow?
Ji Liang however seemed not to hear, just spoke: "Yes, this person’s strength is not low, it was him who pursued Chang Yuntao, forcing Chang Yuntao to flee to you."
"So it was him, this little fellow is clever, when I emerged, he had already escaped."
"Lord, how do you see this?"
"No rush, I will visit Yangshan sooner or later, you continue to urge them."
"Yes, Lord."
Ji Liang left respectfully.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
From the throne, the woman pondered and suddenly spoke: "What do you think of this Yangshan leader’s strength?"
Liang Yuan hidden in the shadows, scanned all around but found no one.
Then suddenly, a voice rang: "The gene recombination progress should have exceeded 10%, else Chang Yuntao wouldn’t have been pursued to the master."
The woman on the throne nodded slightly: "Gene recombination progress 10%, but not a concern, however now I’ve just awakened, still need time to reclaim the genetic energy I’ve spread in various places."
"The talisman array is under construction, still need time, just wait a bit."
"Yes, master."
"How’s the situation underwater?"
"Subordinate investigated, the mermaid queen’s false body was stolen, the mermaids below are madly searching."
"Hehe, she hid the false body underwater in the ancient tomb, hid her will in the depths of the gene, this method, destined not to be safe."
"In ten thousand years, who can guarantee the false body won’t be destroyed?"
The voice laughed: "Not everyone has the master’s great power, frozen for ten thousand years without decay or impairment."
The Ice Goddess chuckled softly, saying: "True, the mermaid race mostly excels in spiritual power, spirit is immortal, hidden in the gene depths, inherited by descendants, as long as a creature awakens her genes, she can return anytime."
"The only concern is to find a suitable vessel."
Liang Yuan hidden in darkness, listened to their conversation, feeling a surge of shock!
