"That's not right......"

Just as Chu Ge had just walked out of the frozen lake, he suddenly noticed something strange.

"The temperature seems a little strange."

His brow furrowed slightly, and he took a step back, returning to the ice, his eyes closed, and he took a closer look.

Although the temperature outside is not high, it is still a little worse than the temperature on the ice.

"That's right, the area covered by the ice lake is cooler, and the temperature difference is very obvious!"

Chu Ge opened his eyes and stared quietly at the ice under his feet.

When he entered the ice lake before, he felt that the temperature was abnormal, and he didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that it was influenced by Aquilis.

However, now that Aquilis has turned to ashes, why is the temperature still not in equilibrium with the outside?

Chu Ge pressed his temples, mobilized the ice element in his body, and carefully probed the reactions of the elements around him.

"Well, it's not like it's caused by elemental magic, it's not even a change in temperature, it's more like ......"

"The influence of the power of the law!"

He patted himself on the head and said to himself,

"Based on my previous experience in the Dark Elemental Zone, there shouldn't be much difference between the environments in the various upside-down zones......"

"So, could the anomaly in this frozen lake be related to the appearance of Roentgenium? Or even the purpose of his coming here is for this frozen lake? ”

He hesitated for a few seconds, then turned back and began to quickly explore every inch of the ice, trying to figure out what was causing the changes in his surroundings.

"There are less than thirty minutes left...... I guess I can waste a little longer. ”

With his previous first-order ice element affinity, even if he carefully explored the perception, eighty percent would not be able to detect any ice laws, and now after the affinity was raised to the second order, although he could not mobilize the power of the law, he was somewhat more sensitive to the existence of the law.

The extraction of the critical value of the basic perception level also provided some help in this process, saving Chu Ge a lot of time, and after a little exploration, he finally found the location where the frozen lake was most affected by the law of ice.

This place is only seven or eight meters away from the center of the battle just now.

After Aquilis's self-detonation, the ice and snow accumulated in the center of the lake were thicker, and Röntgen's body was also affected by the explosion, and after being frozen into ice sculptures, it was already shattered, and even if it was thawed, it was impossible to tell that he had been attacked by Chu Ge.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, one of Röntgen's arms just fell from this position, as if he wanted to keep a secret, and he was lying across the ice.

Chu Ge knelt on the ground with one foot and knocked the ice surface heavily with the hilt of his knife, and under the power attribute of up to 5.5, the ice surface made a dull thumping sound, which seemed to be no different from other ice surfaces.

As a layman in this area, it is still a little difficult for him to tell the thickness of the ice surface by sound.

"It looks like there's only the stupidest way to do it."

Chu Ge shook his head, holding the knife in his backhand and slashing towards the ice with all his might, as if he wanted to rely on this weapon to break a hole in the ice.

Perhaps with the help of the power of the fire demon, the dagger glows with a reddish glow as it chisels into the ice, unconsciously taking effect.

In addition to the support of the second-order attributes, the quality of this knife also contributed a lot, both in sharpness and strength, it was far from being comparable to Chu Ge's previous weapons, although it was not easy to deal with Jianxi, but it also greatly shortened the process.

Chu Ge swung his knife very quickly, and as a corresponding price, his source energy value was also decreasing, and sweat slid down his cheeks and fell on the sunken ice.

When his right hand was numbed by the reaction force of the ice, he switched the short knife to his left hand and continued to work with high intensity.

In less than ten minutes, a small hole appeared in front of his eyes, the deep water of the lake exuded a cold air, and the silver quality dagger obtained from Roentgen had lost a full 12 points of durability for it.

"Whew~ I hope I can really find something......"

Chu Ge moved the slightly stiff muscles on his arms, took a deep breath, held the short knife in one hand and a lighting crystal in the other, and plunged into the small hole.

After entering the lake, the cold lake water made his skin tense for a moment, and the temperature in the water was ridiculously low, if it weren't for his ice elemental affinity reaching the second order, and his physique was also more than 5 points, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to last long under this at all.

To his surprise, the rest of the lake was noticeably thicker frozen than the one he had gotten into.

Because he had been smeared with the blood potion of the Naga royal family, Chu Ge had no problem breathing underwater, but it was obviously not a good idea to stay in this place for a long time.

Less than half a minute after entering this cold pool, his source energy value dropped a little.

Once you're in the water, it's hard to concentrate on the laws of ice, so dive down from this position. ’

Although this lake is not very large, if you search it a little, it is estimated that he will not be able to find it all in a day, so he can only dive down in one breath according to the position he perceives on the ice.

His water nature is average, and it is only to the level of ordinary people, if there is a battle underwater, he can't even show half of his strength and skills, but after gaining this ability, the situation is much better, at least when punching in the water, he receives much less resistance.

The depth of the lake was not amazing, and it didn't take much time for Chu Ge to dive to the bottom.

Originally, there was nothing particularly noteworthy around him, but when he saw a white object buried in the sand, he immediately became alarmed.

It was a skeleton, and it was impossible to tell how long it had been there.

Chu Ge cautiously walked over and dug it out little by little, it was a human tibia, and around it there was the rest of the deceased's body.

After rummaging in the sand for a while, he found two more corpses, one of which had a crystallized shoulder blade, as if the shoulder had been damaged by some powerful ice element.

These people...... Did he come for the same purpose as Roentgenium? ’

Seeing these three skeletons, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, if the identities of these people were all students of the National Academy, then it would be very revealing.

Except for the freshmen who are rewarded with the annual entrance test, no one else should come to the upside-down area on the third floor of the Great Labyrinth. If these three guys didn't die at the hands of the upper level ice elementals, but for some reason died at the bottom of the lake after killing Aquilis......

Needless to say, they dived under the lake with some purpose, but after all the hardships, they fell to the closest thing to success.

"No matter what means they use, the guys who can solve it will definitely not be bad at their own skills, and they all die here......

There must be some kind of danger around here!

Chu Ge was a little irritable for a while, and continued to rummage around the bones for a while, but still found nothing.

He couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and just as he raised his head to make sure that he was in the right position, a blue light suddenly shone into his eyes.

Just above his head, a strangely shaped object shone brightly, neither sinking to the bottom nor floating towards the ice, and rested in the middle of the height of the lake.

'Huh? Why didn't I see it when I dived? ’

Although he was puzzled, Chu Ge still subconsciously swam towards the object, and he had only swam out for a few seconds, and when he was still some distance away from the thing, the light on it suddenly went out.

The doubts in his heart grew thicker, but he didn't stop his movements, and continued to swim towards the light.

When Chu Ge arrived at the location where the light once existed, it was empty, and if he didn't look closely, it would indeed be easy to see something out.

It was a pair of shoulder armors with an extremely vague and dim appearance, and if you reached out to grab it, the palm of your hand would pass directly through the pair of shoulder armors, as if that thing was just a false phantom, but Chu Ge could see the doorway at a glance.

'A stable rift in space?' ’

It was a special piece of armor that was hidden in the secondary plane, and for some unknown reason, it intersected with the surrounding planes, making the appearance of that armor revealed.

'Can't get direct access to it, so what is the light?' ’

Faced with this mysterious piece of equipment that could only be seen but not touched, Chu Ge was not in a hurry, but waited quietly.

After about five minutes, the appearance of the pair of shoulder armors began to become clearer little by little, and the veins on them began to emit a faint light, as if they had slowly transformed from a projection into an entity existing in this plane!

As time passed, the light on the shoulder armor became brighter and brighter, and the blue light that bloomed instantly illuminated the bottom of the small half of the lake, stabbing Chu Ge's eyes with slight pain.

When the light of the shoulder armor reached the extreme, Chu Ge felt a wave of fluctuations in the water in front of him, and there was no doubt that this piece of equipment really appeared in front of him at this moment!

Just as Chu Ge wanted to take the shoulder armor into his pocket, he suddenly remembered the bones lying quietly at the bottom of the lake.

Is it because of these shoulder armors that they died? ’

At the moment when he hesitated, the light on the shoulder armor suddenly faded slightly.

- If you don't make a move, it is estimated that this equipment will re-enter the secondary plane while retracting the beam as before.

Whether it is the remaining source energy value or the time to leave the upside-down zone, you are not allowed to continue to grind!

After thinking of this, Chu Ge gritted his teeth and quickly stretched out his right hand.

Since you don't plan to give up this pair of shoulder armor, you must be prepared to face danger, and the more you delay, the greater the risk you will have to bear!

This time, instead of passing through the armor, his palm was held squarely on it, and the touch of the surface of the shoulder armor and its powerful properties immediately reached his mind:

It's a pity that when Chu Ge didn't have time to smile at the harvest of this trip, a strong sense of crisis instantly surged up from the bottom of his heart!
