Boom –

Ronald and Yanni were nimbling forward in the tunnel.

But the journey lasted only half an hour, and a loud noise sounded in the ice to their right.

"What happened?"

"It's the direction of the glacial lake......

Ronald and Yanni looked at each other, and they had already judged that something was wrong with the vast glacial lake.

At the same time.

Even more striking changes continue to take place.

The sound was not alone, but was accompanied by an unusually violent vibration!

The tremor like a landslide and the ground cracked, while continuing to continue, continued to increase in intensity, and there was no weakness and violent tremor at all, which occupied almost all the perceptions of the two of them.

Earthquakes caused by natural earthquakes or explosives bombardment are definitely not like this!

Ronald's mood sank suddenly.

The embarrassment in reality is also very embarrassing.

It's a completely frozen environment!

Even though they were wearing non-slip shoes on their feet, Ronald and Yanni still couldn't keep their balances under such violent tremors. For now, they could only pull out their pickaxes and clip into the ice, and then rely on the corners of the ice ring tunnel as much as possible.

It is under this laborious and painstaking operation.

They barely supported themselves from the shock and fell away.

"Squeak-"

"Roar—"

That's when it was.

Complex and chaotic sounds could be heard in the distance.

Ronald immediately realized that it was the cry of many creatures, and that the other beings who inhabited this environment were indeed struggling in the face of such a shock.

"Yanni, how are you?"

Ronald asked aloud about the current condition of Yanni, who was not far away.

That's the only concern he can do right now.

Furthermore, it is almost impossible to do actions in a stable position, such as physical contact!

Yanni shouted at Ronald in the same loud voice:

"I don't have any problems here, be careful yourself!"

Click-

The shaking around the ice lake did not stop because the two of them encouraged each other, but maintained a trend of intensification.

Finally, there was a loud cracking sound, or one after the other.

The ice they were on could not withstand the continuous vibrations, and the structure, which had stood still for thousands of years, began to gradually collapse under the vibrations.

And even worse.

It was Ronald who watched a crack in the ice open and widen, and then spread towards the two of them!

Ronald knew that at this moment, he could not do anything decent to resist.

At this time, he remembered the equipment on his body.

So Ronald tried his best to hold the pickaxe in his hand, and then slashed at the ice in front of him:

"Yanni, watch out for the rift over there!"

In the midst of the violent shaking, Ronald reminded Yanni while staring at the crevice that was spreading, he saw a rhythmic interval of vibrations, and then ventured to release one hand to untie the safety rope around his waist and threw it in the direction of Yanni:

"Next!"

Smack-

Yanni's reaction was swift enough.

She reached for the safety rope that Ronald had thrown at her, but the vibration was too distracting for Yanni to catch.

“……”

In the cold and dangerous tunnel of the Ice Ring, Yanni's eyes sank.

Although she didn't fail to catch it in the first place, Yanni made a decision immediately. Risking her body completely against the ice, she used the power of the vibration to take the risk of grabbing the rope and fastening it to her waist.

Boom –

The tremor of the ice continued.

The small struggle between the two did not cause any waves.

And this terrible tremor lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, before finally it began to show signs of fatigue, and finally disappeared in the process of a little decline.

At this moment—

The environment of this underground glacial lake.

Maybe it can't be called the way it was just anymore.

Due to the constant shaking, this force shook the lake and the huge ice around it into large and small pieces, and the original lake water poured into the cracks of these fragments.

Subsequently, the buoyancy of the water allows the debris to float on the surface.

The lights that had been inserted in the ice ring tunnel by the previous expedition team also floated here sporadically along with the ice floe because of their extremely high quality.

The sparkling ice cubes are reflected in the deep blue water of the lake.

If you abandon the disaster that just happened here, don't mention it.

It can be said that this is a beautiful scenery that can only be seen when the stars are reflected on the ground.

“……”

"Old Yang, how are you?"

In such a dreamlike scene, on a large block of ice, Yanni asked Ronald in a weak tone.

It can be said to be a blessing in misfortune.

In this horror movie environment, which can definitely be called a natural disaster, the ice ring tunnel they were in happened to be completely broken by the shock, and after the two of them fixed their bodies to the shattered ice, they came to the surface of the water with buoyancy.

If all this is not just right.

If the crack bends in the other direction, then the two are likely to be trapped in the ice ring tunnel and stuck in the surrounding lake.

When the time comes, it doesn't matter if it's a lack of oxygen or something else.

That's the stuff that kills people!

Not far from Yanni, Ronald untied the safety rope that bound the two together, and then lay out panting on the broken ice:

"Aside from my physical strength, I didn't suffer any injuries."

Ronald and Yanni's experience has been nothing short of miraculous.

After such a dangerous and terrible disaster, the two of them did not suffer any obvious injuries except for the bruises and abrasions caused by the collision with the ice.

For now, as long as you can get a good amount of rest.

It's not a problem to get back on your feet and then look for a way out of here.

- Know that it's not as good now as it was before.

- After a violent tremor, the terrain around the ruins has been completely shattered!

Neither the blue-skinned creatures before, nor the ice crystals, or anything else that Ronald encountered later, could not have adapted to such a floating lake environment in the first place.

As long as you can find a way out of here.

Then it is definitely not difficult to leave this completely destroyed underground ruin.

But Ronald and Yanni didn't think about it.

Both men with expertise know that there is one more issue that must be considered.

They looked at each other.

Yanni asked the first question:

"Old Yang, what do you think of this shock?"

"It's definitely not natural."

– The evidence is clear.

Although the area around the glacial lake has been completely shattered by the tremors, the subterranean contours that sustain the space remain intact. If it's really a natural disaster, then it should be destroyed along with this underground space.

There is absolutely no reason why nothing has changed!

Immediately, a natural conjecture came to mind.

"Could it be Iryan......"

“……”

Suddenly, the two of them tacitly stopped talking, and then turned their heads to look at a position in unison.

The direction of their gaze.

A figure is approaching!
