Dragon's Origin

#1335 - Melting (Part 2)

In Wang Sheng's perception, watching the dream girl's battle scenes only took about ten minutes.

The dream girl killed a hundred people, probably averaging no more than six seconds per person. Every sword strike was perfectly fatal. In terms of efficiency, it was simply the most delightful killing performance.

However, when Wang Sheng took out his individual combat terminal and glanced at it, he was immediately dumbfounded. Thirty-three hours had passed since he activated the aura on the long sword. Wang Sheng hadn't noticed the passage of time at all during such a long period.

Wang Sheng didn't know when the gales in the Ice and Snow Basin had stopped, nor did he know when the ice and snow under his feet had melted. Anyway, it happened while he was watching the dream girl's illusion.

The very center of the Thousand Absolutes Land core, where Wang Sheng and the old Taoist were now, had turned into a lake about ten miles in radius. The lake water was clear, and Wang Sheng could even see the still-remaining solid ice at a depth of less than ten meters underwater.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng had prepared thoroughly and anticipated that the ice and snow might melt. Otherwise, if they had stayed in the ice house according to the original plan, they would probably have been completely submerged in water, right? If he had been immersed in a state of enlightenment and unable to wake up, the only result at this moment would have been drowning without realizing it.

In this central area, there were at least five super demon beasts distributed. Wang Sheng's prediction was correct. The melting started from the array areas where the five super demon beasts were bound. After more than thirty hours, it had melted into a lake with a radius of ten miles. At this moment, the melting process was continuing.

Not only that, because the gales had stopped, the temperature directly returned to the tropical rainforest temperature of the Thousand Absolutes Land's outer perimeter. Even in areas that were not binding arrays, the ice and snow were slowly melting.

It was conceivable that the entire core area of the Thousand Absolutes Land was rapidly melting with the arrays binding the super demon beasts as the center. In two or three days, the melted water of the entire Thousand Absolutes Land would connect into one piece. The original Ice and Snow Basin would become a huge lake.

I really want to know how embarrassed those experts from various families who are still staying in the Thousand Absolutes Land will be when faced with this situation.

In areas that Wang Sheng couldn't see, outside the inner circle of the Thousand Absolutes Land core, about one hundred and forty to fifty miles away from the edge of the Ice and Snow Basin, groups of people were soaking in the water in several directions, struggling to swim towards the edge.

Previously, Wang Sheng thought it would take two or three days for the melted water of the Thousand Absolutes Land to connect into one piece. That was because Wang Sheng was in the center of the inner circle of the Thousand Absolutes Land's core. This place used to be the coldest and most solidly frozen place, and it was also the slowest place to melt after recovery.

Outside the core inner circle, the Ice and Snow Basin had completely turned into a swamp. The huge lake surface covered the entire area. Although the melting speed was still not very fast, the water depth had exceeded three meters. But this was only a drop in the bucket for the entire Ice and Snow Basin. The thickness of the solid ice in any place exceeded tens or even hundreds of feet. A depth of three meters was only about one foot at most, less than one percent.

Because Wang Sheng had circled around a large area, most of the demon beasts in the original core area of the Thousand Absolutes Land had escaped from the Ice and Snow Basin and entered the outer perimeter of the Thousand Absolutes Land. Although the sudden changes in weather and spiritual energy concentration would make them uncomfortable for a period of time, their powerful strength guaranteed that they could definitely live well in the outer perimeter of the Thousand Absolutes Land. This was definitely not good news for those who wanted to enter the Thousand Absolutes Land.

The demon beasts that didn't have time to escape were trapped in the lake like these experts. With their powerful strength, some demon beasts could still swim towards the outer perimeter by instinct. But those human experts were very difficult.

A depth of three meters was enough to drown people. In fact, several families had already had more than a dozen experts who couldn't swim drowned alive, including some legendary peak experts.

It's not that the companions didn't try to save them, but there weren't many people who could swim among the experts who came in. And the sudden change of the ice and snow into a lake happened suddenly in some areas. Before everyone could react, they were swallowed by the water.

Only Wang Sheng would often carry a large number of storage rings with him, and the storage rings also contained many messy things. For the experts from all sides, when entering the Thousand Absolutes Land, who would load up a pile of wood or some parts besides bringing the necessary food, water, supplies, and some weapons, pills, and formations?

Therefore, when the ice and snow land suddenly turned into a lake, these experts didn't even have a tool that could be thrown into the water to borrow strength. So, everyone could only pitifully soak in the water.

Although the experts from all sides were rushing as fast as they could, the fastest they could rush was only a few dozen miles out of the core inner circle, and the slowest had just rushed out of the core inner circle when the ice and snow melted.

If it were an ordinary place, where there were no demon beasts in the water, let alone one hundred miles, even if the distance was doubled to three hundred miles, it would be nothing to these legendary experts. As long as they could swim, it would just be a matter of time.

However, this place was different. This was the core area of the Thousand Absolutes Land. Not only was there a strong aura suppression, but super demon beasts would also go berserk from time to time. And most importantly, they were now soaking in ice water.

The temperature had begun to slowly no longer be a cold climate, but the lake, which had only melted part of the bottom and still had a large amount of solid ice, still maintained a temperature of zero degrees. Protective clothing plus protective underwear with formation protection could resist the cold temperature, but could not resist the coldness of the ice water that had penetrated into the skin.

Under such circumstances, if there was no good way, people soaking in the water would easily lose heat. Under normal circumstances, people cannot stay in water of even twenty or ten degrees for a long time, let alone in this zero-degree ice water.

If they wanted to avoid losing body temperature, these legendary experts had to use their spiritual energy to forcibly support themselves. But the trouble was that they had to constantly use their spiritual energy to protect their body temperature, because they were constantly soaking in ice water. No matter how powerful an expert was, how long could they use their spiritual energy all the time? A day? Two days? Or three days?

There were still more than one hundred miles to the edge of the Ice and Snow Basin. It would probably take more than three or five days to swim out of these one hundred miles. Don't look at how they can travel hundreds of miles a day on land, but swimming in the water is really not much faster than ordinary people, at most their endurance is stronger.

The elders leading the teams from several families had already despaired.
