Dragon's Origin

Chapter 704: The Expected Enemy (Part 1)

Wang Sheng wasn't the only one making preparations; all the eight great families were sending people into the great lake to investigate every day.

One aspect was to check the melting speed of the ice, and the other was to mark the areas where super demon beasts appeared.

Last time they released wooden rafts, each family had more than a dozen people who didn't return, averaging two rafts. There were no ordinary demon beasts inside, and everyone who went out on the rafts could swim, so how could they die? There was no explanation other than super demon beasts.

Other demon beasts could run away before the ice melted, but those super demon beasts absolutely couldn't escape. During this time, everyone was verifying whether those super demon beasts were still in their original binding formations.

With good weather and the help of professional fishermen, the various parties were finally able to locate themselves on the lake. First, they used the edge of the glacial basin as a reference point to locate the positions of several wooden boats, and then relied on a series of wooden boats to determine the current position of the boats one by one.

To test the location of the super demon beasts, they also used several wooden boats loaded with some ordinary demon beasts and pushed them to the location of the original binding formations. As expected, super demon beasts suddenly appeared from the water and swallowed the experimental demon beasts.

A month was enough for the various parties to investigate all the super demon beasts outside the core inner circle. With these super demon beasts as fixed reference points, they became more and more certain of their position on the water.

The fighting on the periphery began to get bloody, no longer limited to small-scale battles. When the experts from the eight great families and those small families met, they would not separate without leaving a few corpses behind.

At this moment, Wang Sheng had already penetrated into the central area of the Thousand Absolutes Ground. While the various parties were locating and investigating the super demon beasts on the water, Wang Sheng had already scanned all the areas underwater.

The ice underwater was only a thin layer, and it was limited to an area of less than twenty miles in the central area.

The water depth in the central area had reached more than one hundred and twenty zhang, which was about four hundred meters. If it were Wang Sheng on Earth, it would be completely unimaginable to dive to a depth of four hundred meters wearing only a wetsuit. But now, Wang Sheng didn't feel any unbearable pressure.

The powerful diving suit definitely had a certain effect, but Wang Sheng's own powerful cultivation was the main reason. At forty atmospheres of pressure, Wang Sheng felt almost the same as being at a depth of forty meters on Earth.

The lake water wasn't very clear, and at this depth, it was basically pitch black. In fact, you couldn't see anything at a depth of two hundred meters.

Wang Sheng had a soldier's individual combat terminal, which was waterproof and shockproof. When he turned on the flashlight on it, Wang Sheng could see the lake bottom within a certain range.

However, whether it was the great families or the experts from the small families and sects, they were completely blind underwater.

Without Wang Sheng's high-tech equipment, the various parties had no way to do anything. Torches couldn't burn and illuminate underwater, so everyone could only grope around in the dark.

In this situation, basically not many experts dared to dive deep into the lake bottom to investigate the melting degree of the ice. In the end, the various parties could only connect long poles on the lake surface to measure the depth of the lake water, and then measure the progress of the ice melting.

Even Wang Sheng only dared to use the Six Words and Seven Words formulas of the 'Line' character formula as the main formula underwater, trying his best to only investigate the changes in the environment, but not to cause any aura reactions. Wang Sheng didn't want to stimulate anything strange in such a deep area underwater.

Underwater, Wang Sheng discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the remaining part of the frozen area seemed to be colder than the surrounding parts. Using the thermometer on his military watch, it was obviously below zero degrees.

Only when approaching the ice within a foot could you feel this coldness. Because the temperature in this area was below zero degrees, it should freeze, but the ice water above also brought heat, so it melted at the same time, and was in a state of balance between freezing and melting.

It was definitely impossible to discover these changes with tree trunks, and besides, the area that the various parties were investigating hadn't reached this part yet.

Obviously, the secret Wang Sheng was looking for was within this twenty-mile radius. Looking at the current situation, this part of the remaining ice would definitely not melt, and there was something colder below.

Wang Sheng guessed that the colder thing below was the source of the entire glacial basin being covered by ice and snow in the beginning. This area was also the area where the digging sites of the various families were distributed.

Wang Sheng rested well on the water for a day and a night, while pondering the situation below, and charging the soldier's individual combat terminal with solar energy, and also filling the used steel cylinders with air.

Before, Wang Sheng had scanned once with the 'Line' character formula, and didn't alarm anything, but obviously didn't find anything more specific. It wouldn't work like this, so Wang Sheng had to use his spiritual energy to investigate underwater. Otherwise, when the various parties slowly entered the central area, it would probably cause a troublesome fight.

After diving into the water again, Wang Sheng carefully checked again. At this time, Wang Sheng didn't care whether using aura detection would cause a chain reaction. He frantically used aura detection underwater, starting from the center.

Aura detection was indeed different. Wang Sheng quickly discovered the unusualness in that large area. There were dozens of areas that obviously had resisting powerful auras, and at the same time, those areas were colder than the surrounding areas.

Wang Sheng recorded these areas one by one in the soldier's individual combat terminal. After counting carefully, there were twenty-five points. At each point, Wang Sheng could feel the weak formation fluctuations through the 'Line' character formula when he reached out his hand to touch it. Obviously, these twenty-five points were the secret of the Thousand Absolutes Ground.

The range of each point was not very large, about a few zhang in radius. But Wang Sheng couldn't judge which point was the target Wang Sheng was looking for. The girl in the dream didn't have any movement at this time, and the combat consciousness little man didn't have any reminders either.

Twenty-five points, why this number? If Wang Sheng were to analyze it, it might be a complete formation of five times five equals twenty-five points. It was also possible that fourteen points were the key to the sealing formation, and the remaining one point was the location of the girl in the dream that Wang Sheng was looking for.

Which one is the girl in the dream? Wang Sheng began to mutter. If he were on land, Wang Sheng could test it little by little with the 'Line' character formula, but now he was underwater, and Wang Sheng's 'Line' character formula was limited in power and couldn't penetrate the formation at all, so he could only rely on analysis or luck.

While Wang Sheng was at a loss, the ships and experts of various families had successively arrived in the central area. Looking at the number of ships, it was obvious that more than just the eight great families had come.

If Wang Sheng were on the water, he would definitely see something that would surprise him.
