"This doesn’t look good, the Sand Titan is in danger!"

Upon seeing this, Su Ran couldn’t help but to sweat on behalf of the Sand Titan. If this fellow died, all of the equipment it would burst would be lost!

Unexpectedly, the Sand Titan, which was showing signs of decline, exploded into a cloud of dust, assembling millions of particles. It turned into a sky full of yellow sand, and rushed towards the fruit suspended in the air.

"Splash!"

The pillar of water, carrying a fierce momentum, swept over, wrapping up most of the yellow sand and dragging it back into the lake. Soon after, the surface of the water gradually calmed down, but the layer of ice never reappeared.

The escaped particles of sand, carrying an unstoppable force, broke through the barrier of icy air and finally entered the red fruit’s area of influence.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Upon encountering the hot temperature, the speed of the sand particles slowed down. They all adhered to the fruit, forming a hard shell of sand.

"What the heck is going on? This Sand Titan gave up half its body to escape from the lake. So, the question is, what was it doing down there in the first place?"

Su Ran felt like this boss was just looking for thrills. Now, not only had its strength greatly reduced, it couldn’t even maintain its original form, there was no hope it would drop any good equipment!

Just as Su Ran was thinking wildly, the Sand Fruit, akin to having ingested a great supplement, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The scorching heat radiated fiercely, pressing down on the icy atmosphere below.

Under the high temperature, steam rose and transformed into thick mist, pervading the surrounding area. In just a moment, the Sand Fruit completely disappeared from view, leaving only a desolate white space above.

"Here comes the climax!"

Seeing this scene, Su Ran had a fairly good idea of what would happen. An Ice and Fire Collision was bound to have a result, who was strong and who was weak would soon become clear!

At the same time, the lake began to boil once more. If not for the cold temperature, Su Ran would have thought it was a lake of boiling water! The surface of the water churned and a great deal of icy energy escaped from the bottom of the lake, incorporating into the battlefield above.

Caught off guard, Su Ran was surprised to find that the bone-chilling cold was gradually retreating. The stiffness in his body was decreasing and he could even make large movements!

Since the greatest threat, the cold air, was already decreasing, Su Ran didn’t hesitate. He directed the Dark Bone Bear towards the agitated surface of the lake. He was very curious about what secrets lay beneath the lake that could prompt the Sand Titan to dive in without fear of death!

Without feeling much cold, the Dark Bone Bear smoothly reached the edge of the lake. As it tentatively touched the now turbid water, Su Ran was pleasantly surprised to find that he could withstand the coldness in the water! Anyway, even if it died, it was only a clone, what was there to fear!

With a plop, the Dark Bone Bear plunged into the lake, swiftly diving towards the bottom.

"Wow, this ice lake is really big!"

Su Ran’s sight was fixed on the Dark Bone Bear. Although the lake water was somewhat cloudy, it was not difficult to see the situation in the lake. He was shocked to discover that the width of the lake’s center was far greater than the surface, making the search much more difficult. But thankfully, the lake wasn’t too deep, only about six meters, so the Bone Bear quickly reached the bottom.

"Something’s off. There’s no chill underneath the lake, instead, the temperature is just right, it’s really strange!"

The sudden change in temperature took Su Ran by surprise, but this was better, he could thoroughly search around!

Just as Su Ran mustered his strength, ready to begin exploring, the cold sound of system notification suddenly rang out.

"Ding! Due to the player’s skeleton avatar, the Dark Bone Bear, being in an oxygen-deprived state, continuous blood loss buff has been added. HP decreases by 10 per second."

Ah, well, this is awkward.

Su Ran found this lack of oxygen very troubling, but thankfully there was no additional freeze damage. Plus, thanks to the Dark Bone Bear’s high health, it could endure for more than three minutes under the lake. That was enough time!

Su Ran felt that the pressure at the bottom of the lake was not particularly strong, but it had noticeably reduced the agility of the Black Bone Bear. Moreover, the lake water had become increasingly muddy, reducing his exploration range to a mere meter around him.

Fortunately, there was not a single monster in the lake, which greatly alleviated Su Ran’s concerns about being at the bottom of the lake.

Time passed without him noticing and more than a minute had passed. The boiling surface of the water, surprisingly, did not diminish in intensity, but on the contrary, it had become even more powerful. Consequently, the visibility at the bottom of the lake reduced drastically, until it was almost impossible to see anything!

"Ha ha, sand!"

Just when Su Ran was on the verge of giving up hope, he suddenly found yellow sand under his feet at the bottom of the lake, an unusual sight at such depth. He knew these were remnants of the Sand Titan’s body. Thus, it appeared that the secret of the icy lake was not far away!

Having a clue, things were easier. Su Ran examined the ground beneath him more carefully and proceeded step by step ahead.

With Su Ran’s continued advancement, the amount of sediment at the bottom of the lake increased, until it was a pile of sand.

However, floating in the water above this pile of sand was a bubble about the size of a balloon. Inside this bubble was a round stone, hanging there like a magic trick, abnormally suspended at the bottom of the lake.

What shocked Su Ran, however, was not the bubble, but the blue stone inside it. The deep blue stone sparkled like a bright star in the murky lake water. Every time the stone glowed, a wisp of deep blue aura dispersed from its surface, drifting up towards the surface with the turbulent motion of the water.

"Goodness, it turns out that the whole iceberg culprit is a tiny stone!"

Su Ran was overwhelmingly shocked as he knew that the wisp of deep blue aura was the chilling force that had been tormenting him for a long time! If the truth wasn’t directly in front of him, he would have never believed that such a small stone could possess such great power!

This world was too crazy!

Without any hesitation, Su Ran commanded his Dark Bone Bear to walk heavily across the pile of sand. Using the Bear Claw Tear skill, he attacked the thin bubble with all his strength.

However,

Seemingly invincible, the bubble didn’t even tremble at the forceful attack of the Bone Bear, instead, it knocked the Bone Bear away.

"How is this possible?"

With a cry of disbelief, Su Ran didn’t expect that the bubble could have such a powerful defense and response force. The countdown had begun and the Dark Bone Bear was in an extremely perilous condition. If he let things continue as they were, the bear would succumb to the lack of oxygen and constant blood loss!

However, it was not easy for Su Ran to find the culprit, he was unwilling to let it escape from the icy lake so easily. He wanted the Dark Bone Bear to test the defensive capability of the bubble with the remaining time.

With this thought, Su Ran made up his mind, commanding the unfortunate Dark Bone Bear to rush up once again, and launched continued attacks on the seemingly weak bubble.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Glug! Glug!"

The bubble that was holding the stone seemed like an invincible shield in Su Ran’s territory. Despite the constant attacks raining down like a storm on the bubble, it stood firmly unmoved.

It wasn’t until the Dark Bone Bear died at the bottom of the lake that Su Ran finally comprehended why the Sand Titan failed to secure the treasure and why it had to discard most of its body to escape from the icy lake. It was all because of this bubble!

"I wonder if this bubble could go into the bladder?"

Such whimsical thoughts suddenly arose in Su Ran’s mind, but after some cogitation, he thought the idea was feasible. After all, if the giant chunk of ice that sealed the Great White Shark could be brought into the bladder, why not a small bubble?

As Su Ran grew excited about the idea, he quickly moved to the edge of the icy lake. The strategy employed was quite similar to commanding the Dark Bone Bear, and without any hesitation, he plunged into the water.
