Chapter 210
Ice and Snow Emperor
Luo Feng, Yaorao, and Iceman's attire was quite similar. They all wore combat uniforms over their Black God Suits, though Yaorao and Iceman also had golden masks! Luo Feng had put on his combat uniform, boots, and other gear inside the smart fighter jet after watching Hong and the Beast Emperor's battle. The three flew side-by-side above the lake. "Let's split up to search," Yaorao, the personal guard, said. "Alright," Iceman's voice was as cold as ever. "Okay." Luo Feng also nodded. This Mist Island lake was over a hundred kilometers in circumference, a massive area! Moreover, the Beast Emperor had previously been entrenched 3,500 meters underground, while the lake's average depth was only 300 meters. The treasure might be hidden somewhere in the mud, soil, or rock layers beneath the lake. The search would be extremely difficult. Luo Feng agreed with splitting up to search. "Compared to the much larger underground rock layers, I'll check the lake first." Luo Feng glanced into the distance, seeing a figure dive into the lake several thousand meters away, clearly another Councilor. "The true treasures of Mist Island lake certainly hold immense allure." Splash! Water splashed as Luo Feng directly dove into the lake. ... Wearing a combat uniform outside, a Black God Suit inside, and standing on his Duntiansuo, with eighteen blades constantly guarding him, ready to strike at any moment. Luo Feng was armed to the teeth. "A treasure, but what kind of treasure is it, and how do I find it?" Luo Feng had a headache. Currently, no faction knew what the treasure was or how many there were, so they were searching blindly. "Fortunately, I'm a spiritual force user. My spiritual force can spread out within a 200-meter radius. Search!" Spiritual force scanning was more effective than radar scanning. ... Just like that, Luo Feng began a 'bloody' treasure hunt! The last time Luo Feng visited Mist Island lake, he almost lost his life. This time, with just a thought, his blades could easily kill any 'high-level beast emperor.' It was incredibly easy. After 32 minutes! Luo Feng, with astonishing speed, scanned over 80% of the lake area, killing over a thousand beasts along the way. He killed thirteen beast emperors, two of which were 'high-level beast emperors.' Luo Feng used his spiritual force to collect their materials and store them in the backpack formed by his Black God Suit. "It's so easy for a planetary-level spiritual force user to earn money on Earth." Luo Feng sighed inwardly as he collected the two materials, leaving the rest of the beast emperor materials behind. "Luo Feng, did you find anything in the lake?" Yaorao's voice came through his communication watch. "I've scanned about 36% of the lake area, no luck." "Nothing at all," Luo Feng whispered. "I've scanned 80% of the area." Regarding scanning ability. Planetary-level experts were definitely stronger than Wargods. Even planetary-level warriors could project their genetic energy! For example, Councilor Fa'er, whose body was surrounded by flames. Or Lan Ran from Jiangnan Base City, who, when she stopped Luo Feng from killing Li Yao, caused the air temperature to plummet instantly, freezing fountains. Planetary-level warriors could control energy within a certain range to search for treasures. Of course... Planetary-level spiritual force users had the strongest scanning ability! Followed by planetary-level warriors, then Wargod-level spiritual force users, and finally Wargod warriors! Wargod warriors could only pitifully rely on their eyes, making their efficiency the lowest. "You've scanned 80%, I've scanned 36%, and Iceman has scanned 41%, with no results. Together, we've probably explored over 95% of the area. I think... we should go underground," Yaorao transmitted. "I agree," Luo Feng replied. Whoosh! At the same moment, Yaorao, Iceman, and Luo Feng, the three planetary-level experts, shot up, breaking through the water surface and flying into the air. Then they flew towards the 'Mist Island ruins' in the center of the lake. Splash! Splash! Luo Feng saw Wargod-level warriors leaping from fighter jets into the lake in the distance. "Even Wargods are coming to find treasure, this is truly..." Luo Feng shook his head. "Fortunately, they're not foolish; they're entering the island's soil to search." A Wargod in the lake encountering a beast emperor would be risking their life. The area where those Wargods dove was, not long ago, a lake island! However, a major battle had eroded much of the island's surface, and the remaining island was now submerged. It couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Those Wargods could quickly burrow into the soil. They would drill down and search for treasures in the soil and rock layers! In the rock layers, beasts were rarely encountered, and even if they were, their strength was usually very weak. "The underground soil and rock layers are much vaster, and searching there is harder than in the water," Yaorao said coldly. "The old method, we split up." "I'll go first." Luo Feng was decisive, diving directly into the lake. After only eight or nine meters, he plunged into the soil and rocks. He went headfirst, feet first, his feet automatically extending into sharp cones, easily piercing through the mud and rocks below, and descending! ... Underground, it was pitch black. "Searching for treasure underground must be very difficult for others." Luo Feng's spiritual force spread out. Because he didn't know what the treasure looked like—was it a plant? A mineral? A life form? Or ancient civilization ruins? Because he didn't know, there was no specific target, so the search was relatively slow. Three hours later. At a depth of two to three thousand meters underground, a subterranean river channel surged with water. With a thump, Luo Feng broke through the rock and fell into the subterranean river. "This is it." "Last time I ate the Millennium Willow Heart, it was right by this subterranean river. It brings back memories." "I'm still nearby, I'll dig a hole and rest." Luo Feng easily dug a cave slightly above the subterranean river channel, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged. Three hours of continuous exploration, scanning a spherical area with a 200-meter radius centered on himself, was exhausting for his mind, even with sufficient spiritual force. "What's that smell?" Luo Feng, resting cross-legged, suddenly twitched his nose. A faint aroma of rice subtly entered his nostrils. The smell of rice? Luo Feng's eyes snapped open: "A treasure! It's very likely a treasure!" The smell of rice two to three thousand meters underground was very strange. Strange things might be related to the Mist Island secret treasure. Luo Feng sniffed, like a fish darting directly into the subterranean river, occasionally surfacing to sniff carefully: "It's this direction! The smell is coming from this direction!" Once he confirmed the direction, Luo Feng immediately followed one direction of the subterranean river, rapidly approaching. As he got closer, the rice aroma became more distinct. Rumble~~ Following this subterranean river, Luo Feng actually arrived at an even wider underground river. It seemed the previous subterranean river was just a branch of this wider one. "There are aquatic beasts." Luo Feng's spiritual force swept over and immediately noticed, "Not many, but most of them are quite strong." Luo Feng wasn't surprised by this at all. Previously, at the Huaxia Nation's base, Luo Feng had seen the scan results on the screen, which showed the lake's average depth was 300 meters, with the deepest point nearly 1000 meters. However, these were just the main graphical data. In reality, the lake also had various channels connected to the underground, for instance, how the Beast Emperor, with its massive size, could surge from 3,500 meters underground to the lake. Sometimes it went to the lake, sometimes underground. Because the Beast Emperor moved this way, it would create numerous hidden passages leading deep underground! At that time, the screen scans had already detected many aquatic beasts in some channel-like areas underground. So Luo Feng wasn't surprised at all at this moment. "The smell is coming from over there." Luo Feng quickly flew up. Whoosh! Three meters above the wide underground river, Luo Feng moved as if teleporting fifty meters away, stepping onto the water surface, looking ahead... Above the dim underground lake, a white, translucent crystal floated in mid-air, casting a faint light that illuminated the otherwise dark underground. This white translucent crystal also emitted waves of rice aroma, making one's mouth water. However, numerous aquatic beasts in the underground lake were staring at this white crystal, and one even leaped up and swallowed it instantly! Luo Feng had just seen the white crystal when he witnessed it being swallowed by an armored aquatic beast, all in the blink of an eye. "Something's wrong." Luo Feng, ignoring his momentary regret, looked at the scene in confusion. "Why aren't the other aquatic beasts leaping to snatch it? Many of them are beast emperors, no less intelligent than humans. They're not foolish; there must be a reason." Hiss, hiss~~ In the river, the armored aquatic beast that had swallowed the white crystal began to glow with white light all over its body. Its entire body seemed to swell, and cries of pain echoed. With a bang!, the armored beast exploded, its shattered corpse and blood scattering everywhere. An incredibly alluring white crystal still floated gently on the lake surface. A group of aquatic beasts surrounded the white crystal. Each one was incredibly envious, but none dared to swallow it. Luo Feng gasped at the sight. The white crystal looked incredibly magical, and its scent naturally made one's mouth water, but he hadn't expected it to be such a 'poison.' Eating it meant death. "There are so many shattered corpses in this lake." Luo Feng's spiritual force swept over and immediately noticed, "It seems many beasts died from swallowing it before." Just then— "It's the treasure." "The Mist Island secret treasure." An English exclamation rang out, and two figures shot over from different directions. "It's mine." Luo Feng's eyes flashed, and with a thought, his spiritual force formed an invisible large hand and grabbed for it! Luo Feng dared not use his actual hand to grab this strange item. Bang! A white hand, as large as a washbasin, also appeared out of thin air, grabbing towards the crystal. It collided with Luo Feng's spiritual force, and both dispersed. "Luo Feng, this belongs to me, Mohanderson. Get out of the way quickly!" A heavily accented Chinese roar sounded. "The Third Councilor, Ice and Snow Emperor Mohanderson?" Luo Feng's mind quickly recalled this person's information. Ice and Snow Emperor Mohanderson was one of the two planetary-level Third-tier warriors on Earth, born in America. He was currently America's strongest expert, known as the Ice and Snow Emperor for his masterful control over ice and snow. He was a super expert, second only to Hong and Lei Shen! "This belongs to my Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. How dare you try to snatch it? Are you looking for death?!" Luo Feng roared, his Duntiansuo immediately hovering before him, ready to unleash his ultimate move at any moment.
