There was no light here, but darkness didn't affect Chen Zhao.
The surrounding rock walls were brownish-red with some black substance.
This was already two thousand meters underground.
But this wasn't enough. Two thousand meters was only the Earth's crust.
The thickness of the crust was about 33 kilometers.
Until now, human technology still couldn't penetrate deep into the crust.
Chen Zhao realized that the temperature here was higher than expected.
Chen Zhao started to walk through the cracks.
The width of the cracks wasn't fixed.
Some places were very narrow. Chen Zhao had to use violent methods to widen the cracks.
Chen Zhao's incomplete little world provided him with sufficient magic power.
The environment here and the test for living beings were more severe than he'd imagined.
If Chen Zhao had come here before he understood Chaotic Emptiness, he would either have to turn back or die here in half an hour.
Chen Zhao felt like he was going through a huge battle with every minute he walked.
His mana was used up like a tide.
However, the golden key in Chen Zhao's body was also changing.
Chen Zhao didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
At least the high temperature here wasn't the biggest problem.
The small world was maintaining Chen Zhao's mana consumption.
It actually lightened his burden.
Right now, Chen Zhao was in his best condition.
The incomplete small world gave Chen Zhao a huge source of mana, but it also put a burden on him.
And now, Chen Zhao's crazy mana consumption was also helping him relieve stress.
It was as if he had been carrying 50 tons of weight, and now the weight had been reduced to 40 tons.
Of course, carrying a heavy load had its disadvantages, but there were also advantages.
Chen Zhao's mass had increased.
When Chen Zhao fought large or super-large monsters, there was always a disadvantage.
Even though Chen Zhao was stronger than his opponent, his weight would still cause him to be sent flying when he had no foothold to hold onto.
It was like if Chen Zhao fell from the sky, the impact would be very limited.
Because Chen Zhao's weight was like a raindrop falling from the clouds.
If raindrops could accelerate infinitely, then a raindrop could kill a person.
In reality, raindrops couldn't because they were too small.
However, if it was a massive object, such as a hailstone, then it could really kill people.
This was the impact brought about by mass.
It was the same for Chen Zhao now. He could charge around like a monster.
There was no need for any fancy moves or attacks, just a direct impact to destroy the enemy.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao paused.
The edge of the small world seemed to feel a force rushing over from the front.
Chen Zhao immediately used the Qingyi Armor to protect himself.
The next moment, a violent wave of heat rushed toward Chen Zhao.
It was water vapor with a temperature of hundreds of degrees Celsius.
And the water vapor brought by the geothermal heat also brought about an impact in such a narrow space.
Even Chen Zhao couldn't resist it. He was smashed into the wall by the steam.
"Whoosh …" Chen Zhao shook his head. The impact was too great.
This was the power of nature, completely beyond human understanding.
However, this also alerted Chen Zhao.
Perhaps the current him was already standing at the top of the food chain in the human world.
But compared to nature, he was nothing.
He was now facing the most terrifying side of nature.
Therefore, he would be even more humble.
Chen Zhao continued forward. There was no fork in the road that he had imagined.
This surprised Chen Zhao a bit.
But it was understandable.
Some land plates weren't stable, so it was normal for there to be small changes in the geological structure.
Of course, the land plates here weren't continental plates.
Continental plates were usually between 50 to 250 kilometers thick.
Right now, Chen Zhao was only on the surface of the American continent.
But the surface plates would still move.
Chen Zhao walked for another half an hour and suddenly, light appeared before him.
It wasn't strong, but Chen Zhao still saw azure light.
Chen Zhao walked forward quickly. He couldn't believe his eyes.
This was a super huge cave in a lake. The top of the cave was covered in a layer of faint blue fluorescence.
The fluorescence reflected on the surface of the lake, making it look like a sapphire.
According to Chen Zhao's estimation, the visible area of this lake was at least dozens of times larger than Mirror Lake.
The surrounding temperature wasn't very high either. The water must've lowered the temperature.
Chen Zhao thought again and felt that it wasn't right.
Although this underground lake was huge, under this kind of environment, after thousands of years of baking, the temperature of the water should have become very high.
Chen Zhao had already come to the side of the lake. He tested the water temperature. It was actually room temperature.
If this was a hot spring, Chen Zhao could accept it, but the water temperature was only a dozen degrees. It was too low.
Unless there was another water source that kept pouring water here and then the water flowed to other places. That way, the water could be kept at room temperature.
Suddenly, a tentacle shot out of the lake and wrapped around Chen Zhao's ankle.
Chen Zhao pulled with his foot and pulled the tentacle out of the water.
It was a strange-looking giant octopus. Its body glowed with fluorescence.
The next moment, the fluorescence on the giant octopus became dazzling.
Then Chen Zhao felt a strong electric current surge into his body.
However, the current was very average and it didn't threaten him at all.
The strong current from the octopus actually replenished his magic power.
Chen Zhao tore off the octopus's tentacle. Large amounts of milky white liquid splashed out from the glowing octopus's broken limb.
Huh? This is diluted earth essence?
This giant octopus actually has earth essence?
Chen Zhao immediately grew excited. He started absorbing the earth essence from the octopus.
Soon, the earth essence in the glowing octopus was drained dry. The octopus also lost its life.
Chen Zhao tossed the octopus back into the lake.
However, at that moment, a huge mouth appeared in the water and bit off half of the fluorescent octopus's body.
Chen Zhao looked at the surface of the lake. An eye was also staring at him under the water.
It was a water gull, a very large one.
Water gull were special creatures because they were actually the larvae of dragonflies.
But actually, when they grew into dragonflies, they were already in their old age.
Humans were more familiar with beautiful dragonflies. They hated ugly water gull.
This water gull seemed to see Chen Zhao as prey.
