The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 678 Frozen Soil Water Beetle
puff!

Liang Yuan forcefully shattered the monster's sea of ​​consciousness, directly killing it.

As the strange insect's consciousness exploded, its life force vanished.

Liang Yuan activated the vacuum flash flame to burn the strange insect's corpse.

Perhaps due to its ice attribute, the monster's corpse was extremely resistant to burning.

It took Liang Yuan a good ten minutes to completely burn the strange insect.

"Hey, what is this?"

Under the burning flames, the strange insect had been reduced to a mass of molten boiling water.

However, despite the boiling water evaporating, one huge, ice-blue shell remained unburnt.

Liang Yuan put away the Vacuum Flash Flame and, with a wave of his hand, retrieved the giant insect armor.

But on the insect's armor, there were countless runes covering it.

Not just one, but a whole bunch of runes!
These runes are all ice blue, forming an extremely complex runic pattern.

"Rune Bone!"

Liang Yuan was overjoyed; this monster actually dropped rune bones!

Moreover, this rune bone is different from the rune bones I obtained before.

This rune bone doesn't contain a single rune, but a complete set of runes.

Liang Yuan immediately activated his [Spiritual Energy Identification] skill.

"Item analysis... Frozen soil water beetle beetle shell... Rune bone..."

"Main attribute... Ice attribute... Secondary attribute... Spirit attribute..."

"Rune Bone Identification... Eternal Night Freeze Rune Array..."

A series of messages flooded into Liang Yuan's mind.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"It really is a runic bone! And it's a runic bone with its own runic array!"

"This runic bone is probably at least purple quality!"

Liang Yuan was overjoyed. If he could learn the rune array above, wouldn't he be equivalent to mastering a rune array?
Especially since this rune array is ice-attribute, his Icefield Wild Bear gene map is fully capable of casting this array.

"Water beetle in frozen soil... Where did this thing come from? How come it didn't drown in the great flood?"

Liang Yuan was secretly amazed. Most of the land was now submerged, and apart from some mountain peaks that were still above the water, there was no permafrost left.

He put the shell away, intending to study it carefully later.

The most urgent task now is to go and check on the situation in the City of Mist, and find out who this so-called Goddess of Ice really is.

"Mr. Liang, what should we do next?" Han Xiangman walked up to Liang Yuan and asked about the next steps.

Liang Yuan said, "The Dark Abyss has been unsealed. Many facilities in Fanshan Town have been damaged, especially the mutated sunflowers, which are on the verge of death. You stay here and take good care of the Dark Abyss."

"I'm going to Baoshan City to see what exactly happened."

Han Xiangman wanted to go along, but she knew her own limitations and knew she probably wouldn't be able to help much, so she felt a little frustrated.

Liang Yuan seemed to sense her mood and said, "A new gene device has been developed in Yangshan that can help people with superpowers break through gene recombination."

"You should cultivate as quickly as possible during this time and try to break through gene recombination. When you return to Yangshan, you may be able to break through gene recombination in one fell swoop with the help of equipment."

Upon hearing this, Han Xiangman looked up in surprise: "There's such equipment?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, Ding Yan and Zhao Kai have both made breakthroughs and are now able to recombine genes and transform into gene map creatures."

"Their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved."

"The number of gene recombination experts in Yangshan will increase explosively in the future, so you, Wu Ying, and Zhang Peng should not fall behind."

Han Xiangman was thrilled and immediately nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll go tell them the good news right now."

Liang Yuan immediately left the mouth of the Dark Abyss and headed to Baoshan City.

Upon returning to Baoshan City, Liang Yuan first visited Yang Baoshan.

From a distance, smoke could still be seen rising from Yangbaoshan Mountain, as if someone was cooking.

Liang Yuan flew over Yang Baoshan and glanced at him.

They discovered that most of the people on the mountain were ordinary superhumans, and there wasn't a single superhuman of the genetic level.

Liang Yuan landed and found a superhuman.

"You, you are Mr. Liang!"

The man was surprised to find that he knew Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan asked, "Where are Yang Baoshan's men? Where is Tang Xing'an?"

The superhuman smiled bitterly, "Mr. Liang, ever since you left, the people from Misty City have come back. Director Tang and the others left a while earlier."

"The people of the Misty City then began arresting people everywhere, and all those with superpowers above the genetic level were captured by them."

"Where were they taken?"

"The City of Mist".

Liang Yuan nodded and then asked about the situation on Beichen Island and the City of Mist.

However, this superhuman was clearly just an ordinary superhuman, knowing very little about what was happening outside.

Liang Yuan asked no more questions, and with a flash, he flew swiftly towards the City of Misty Clouds.

They soon arrived at Beichen Island and the City of Mist.

However, when Liang Yuan looked at the misty city again, he discovered that the mist that had originally enveloped the entire floating island had actually dissipated.

The city, shrouded in mist for years, has now become a giant island.

Beichen Island and the City of Mist have been frozen together by a huge block of ice, which has greatly expanded the original area of ​​the City of Mist.

Meanwhile, behind the forest of the Misty City, on the vast ice plain, a massive ice crystal palace was already half-built.

One by one, the superhumans, like ants, carried huge blocks of ice across the icy plain, building this ice palace bit by bit.

Not only the palace, but also the surrounding area is undergoing expansion with various buildings.

It looks like they're building a massive ice crystal city.

Liang Yuan frowned. Those genetically modified superhumans who had been captured were being used as laborers to build palaces here. Had Chang Yuntao gone mad?

Liang Yuan couldn't quite understand.

He flashed into the shadows and quickly explored the secrets of the place.

This wasn't his first time in the City of Mist, so he was quite familiar with everything here.

He quickly weaved through the crowd and slipped into the palace.

However, the palace was still under construction; the exterior was not yet finished, but the interior was already complete.

Inside the palace, the solid, ice-blue ice radiated a low temperature.

A large number of ice-attribute ability users patrol and guard the area.

In such an environment, only ice-attribute ability users can move freely.

Liang Yuan saw that Ji Liang, He Jun, and other former members of the Ice Armor Legion were all gathered here.

He silently hid there, following Ji Liang as he walked towards the inner part of the palace.

Along the way, many people knelt down on one knee to pay their respects to Ji Liang.

This salute was completely different from what Liang Yuan knew about the Ice Armor Legion.

The Ice Armor Legion is a group of people who have experienced civilized society. It's rare for them to kneel and bow to others; it's too old-fashioned.

Even when Liang Yuan first came here, he never saw anyone kneeling in worship.

"Does this Chang Yuntao really think he's the emperor?"

Liang Yuan sneered inwardly and continued to follow the other party inside.

Soon Ji Liang arrived at a grand hall.

The hall was empty except for a figure sitting on an ice throne.

The figure was obscured by the gauze curtain, making it impossible to see the face.

However, her graceful figure could be vaguely seen, confirming that she was a woman!

A thought struck Liang Yuan, and he immediately guessed that this person was probably the so-called Goddess of Ice!

"Your Highness, the construction of the Ice God Palace is already more than halfway complete. In at most ten days, the outer construction work will be completely finished."

Ji Liang knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.

From behind the gauze curtain came a woman's indifferent voice: "So long?"

Ji Liang quickly explained, "Your Highness, we simply don't have enough manpower. This is already the work we've been putting in without sleep."

"Many people are on the verge of collapse."

"Heh, a bunch of trash. A superhuman's physique is such that even if they didn't sleep or rest, they wouldn't die for ten days or half a month. And they can't even hold on?"

"Have people become so weak now?"

Ji Liang lowered his head, not daring to reply.

"Go and bring back all the ordinary people from the nearby islands as well."

"Also, check what other shelters are nearby and bring all the people back."

"The Ice Kingdom is about to be established, and we can't afford to be short-handed."

Ji Liang's mind stirred, and he immediately said, "Your Highness, as far as I know, there is a large refuge settlement about a hundred kilometers away from here, called Yangshan Settlement."

"The population over there is estimated to be over seven or eight thousand."

"Moreover, this shelter controls three floating islands, including the Dark Abyss Floating Island that you previously suppressed while frozen, which belongs to the leader of this shelter."

From the throne, a woman's voice rang out with interest: "You mean that little fellow named Liang Yuan?"

In the shadows, Liang Yuan frowned upon hearing the term "little guy."

Is this woman very old?

He actually calls himself a little guy?

Ji Liang seemed not to hear him, and simply said, "Yes, this person is quite strong. It was he who chased Chang Yuntao back then, forcing Chang Yuntao to flee back to you."

"So it was him. That little guy is clever; he had already escaped when I came out."

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

"No rush. I'll go to Yangshan sooner or later. You can go now and continue to urge them on."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ji Liang respectfully departed.

For a moment, the entire hall fell into silence.

On the throne, the woman pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "What do you think of the strength of this Yangshan leader?"

Liang Yuan hid in the shadows, scanning his surroundings, but found no one.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "The gene recombination progress should have exceeded 10%, otherwise Chang Yuntao would not have escaped to the master's place after being chased."

The woman on the throne nodded slightly: "A 10% genetic recombination progress is nothing to worry about. However, I have just awakened and need some time to reclaim the genetic energy that I have been dormant in various places."

"The rune array is still under construction and will take some time. Let's wait a bit longer."

"Yes, Master."

What's the situation underwater?

"I investigated and found that the Mermaid Queen's fake body has been stolen. The mermaids below are going crazy, searching everywhere for it."

"Heh, she hid her fake body in an underwater ancient tomb and concealed her own will deep within her genes. This method is destined to be unsafe."

"Over ten thousand years, who can guarantee that the fake body will not be destroyed?"

The voice laughed, "Not everyone has the power of their master, who remains frozen for ten thousand years without decaying or incinerating."

The Goddess of Ice chuckled and said, "That's true. Mermaids are best at spiritual power. Their spirit is immortal, hidden deep within their genes, and passed down to future generations. As long as a creature awakens her genes, she can return at any time."

"The only thing to worry about is finding a reliable vessel."

Hidden in the shadows, Liang Yuan listened to their conversation, his heart filled with horror!
