Poof!
There was the sound of bubbling water around him.
There was nothing but dark green in his field of vision, and he could not see anything. Garon's body emitted a strong Cold Radiation, resisting the poisonous lake water that was constantly invading his skin. He held his breath and swam downwards.
The lake water was very viscous, and he could not dive down without using special techniques. Garon even hung a heavy rock on himself to help him down.
He did not dive too deep. When he waved his arm, he suddenly touched something hard, and that thing seemed to be able to move.
"What is this?"
Garon pulled with all his might, and a pale face suddenly appeared in front of him. The face belonged to a woman's corpse, and one of her arms was in Garon's hand.
The female corpse's eyes were wide open, and her eyeballs had turned greenish-black from being soaked in the water. Her clothes were corroded and destroyed, and most of her body showed signs of rotting holes.
Throwing away the corpse, Garon continued to dive down without batting an eyelid, keeping his guard up at all times.
Gurgle …
A few bubbles floated up along the lake water, and the deeper he dived, the clearer the water became. It gradually turned from dark green to light green, and the density was similar to that of clear water.
Garon could hold his breath for half an hour at a time, and this was not a problem at all. His body was no longer human, and after the transformation of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique, he was about to become the foundational larva of the Hellfrost Peacock. As long as he passed the foundational stage, he would completely become a foundational larva. Therefore, the radiation in the lake water was highly toxic to ordinary people, but to him, as long as the Cold Radiation did not disappear, it would not affect him.
Whoosh …
Garon suddenly heard a sound from the right in front of him. He looked through the protective suit's glasses, but he could only see a patch of green, and nothing else.
Suddenly, black finger-long worms appeared around the lake water. They were like the most common caterpillars, and they were completely black with a shiny black shell on their backs. Their bodies wriggled, and they surrounded Garon from all directions.
Garen's heart skipped a beat. He quickly increased the Radiant Cold Energy to a one-meter radius around him.
Soon, the first caterpillar entered the range of the Cold Radiation, and it quickly froze into a block of ice, sinking directly. The second caterpillar also entered the range and froze into ice. The same went for the third and fourth rule … until the twenty-fifth rule.
Garon could finally breathe a sigh of relief. In order to kill these insects, he had consumed at least half of his Cold Energy.
He swam around and looked around, but he didn't see any more of these caterpillars.
He began to wonder if he should continue diving.
"With my ability, if I continue to dive, the water pressure may shorten the diving time. It might be better if I have a diving device."
He reached out his hand and gently stirred the lake water, pushing away some of the turbid sediment. He could vaguely see things a few meters away.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a black shadow swimming towards him from afar.
"What's that?"
The shadow was getting closer and closer …
Soon, it entered Garon's field of vision.
It was a naked, pitch-black water snake. Its body was more than ten meters long, but it was only as thick as an arm. It had sharp teeth like a hairtail on its head, and its two small eyes flickered with green fluorescence in the lake water.
Garon was not alarmed. Instead, he was delighted. This guy was obviously a ferocious beast in the water.
He reached out his hand and gently touched the water snake's head, and a faint wave spread out.
The water snake's eyes were filled with awe and joy, showing its extraordinary intelligence. It allowed Garon to touch its head, and its body gently wrapped around Garon, forming a snake coil.
"Bring me to the place with the most …" Garon took out a fist-sized white Rainbow Stone from the pocket of his protective suit, and waved it at the water snake.
His eyes flashed with traces of the ancient Nine-Headed Dragon's gold. It was a pure soul wave transmitting message. After transmitting the message according to the Totem World's method, he wasn't sure if the water snake could understand what he meant. He just stared at this guy.
The water snake's eyes were filled with simple doubts. It bit the white Rainbow Stone, turned its head and swam to the left.
Garon quickly grabbed its tail, and his body was pulled downstream at high speed.
The water on both sides flowed rapidly, and the water snake's body was more than ten meters long. It was more than ten times faster than Garon's own speed. After swimming for more than half a minute, a black mountain wall appeared in front of them. There were beehive-like caves of different sizes on the mountain wall.
The water snake pulled Garon into a large cave, and went in like a tunnel for a few minutes. In the middle, they met many of those black insects again. They were densely packed together, and seemed to be gnawing on some creature.
The water snake seemed to be afraid of the insects, and the insects seemed to be avoiding the water snake. Both sides did not invade each other, and passed through safely.
Garon felt his scalp tingle as he pulled the water snake's tail. He had used up more than half of his Cold Energy to kill more than twenty insects. Now that he met so many, there were at least a thousand of them. If a fight broke out, he would be doomed in this environment.
Fortunately, the Ancient Nine-Headed Dragon's Soul Willpower attribute allowed him to get close to the water snake, and avoid being entangled by these insects.
Looking at the thing that the insects were gnawing on, it was a broken metal alloy fragment. The insects' sharp teeth kept biting on the metal, and a fine cracking sound was heard.
After passing through the insects, the water snake began to move upward, and the tunnel quickly climbed up.
After an unknown amount of time, it seemed to be more than ten minutes, or perhaps twenty, there was a splash of water in front of him.
Garon suddenly felt that he had come out of the water, and was brought into a warm cave by the water snake.
He took a deep breath, and the air outside was quickly filtered by the protective suit's air filtration system, and changed into safe air that he could breathe. After catching his breath, he began to observe his surroundings.
The cave was not big, and was only the size of a small living room.
However, Garon's eyes widened, and there was an uncontrollable joy in them.
The walls of the cave, including the rocks on the ground, were all white. They were all large pieces of White Peacock Stone!
Even the entire cave was made of White Peacock Stone.
"This is a White Peacock Stone mine!"
Garon patted the water snake's head hard, showing his satisfaction.
The water snake hissed, and it also showed its joy. It circled around the place and spat out the White Peacock Stone in its mouth.
"Go, go and have a good rest."
Garon let go of the water snake, and began to carefully explore the structure of the cave. Walking to the wall of the cave, he pressed a button on the collar of the protective suit.
'In memory of the route …' A line of small words appeared on Garon's glasses.
The route that he took just now was quickly recorded by the simple chip on the suit.
After organizing the route on the map, Garon thought for a while, and walked to the stone wall on the right. He took off the protective suit, and directly exposed his arm to the air.
No longer suppressing the natural release of the Cold Radiation, Garon gently pressed his palm on the stone wall.
Hiss … Peng …!
After a slight sound, a puff of white smoke suddenly burst out between his palm and the stone wall.
A large number of blue lines drilled out from Garon's palm, and penetrated into the stone wall. Like a greedy parasite, they crazily absorbed the dense material composition of the White Peacock Stone.
The stone wall quickly weathered and collapsed into pieces of powder. As if it was contagious, the weathered area quickly spread from the area that Garon came in contact with. In less than half a minute, the surrounding stone wall began to shake slightly, and all the White Peacock Stones began to weathered, turning into a large amount of powder and gravel that fell down.
Garon closed his eyes and stood in front of the stone wall. His body emitted a slight sizzling sound, and fine blue scales began to appear on the surface of his body. His face, body, arms, ears, and all the surface of his skin began to spread like snake scales. The protective suit was gradually filled with a faint fishy smell, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
Opening his eyes, Garon looked at the changes on his body.
"The closer I am to the fifth level, the less human-like my body will become …"
Looking at the progress on the attribute pane, the completion of the fifth level had reached 42%, and it was still rapidly increasing.
"As long as I break through the basic level, there should be a very high qualitative change, and it shouldn't disappoint me." Garon reviewed the records in the Living Secret Technique, and once again closed his eyes to concentrate on absorbing a large amount of White Peacock Stone essence.
His body began to change more and more, and sharp protrusions began to grow on his arms. Dense dark blue strands began to grow on his back, and they were like long hair, but they could move freely and intertwine.
The biggest change was that his body was getting bigger and taller, from the original 1.78 meters to 2 meters. The contours of his muscles became more distinct, and the scales on his skin became more obvious. He was like a strong warrior wearing snake scale armor.
As time passed, Garon gradually immersed himself in the pleasure of improving.

Beside the Colorful Lake
The sky gradually brightened, and from the distant sky, more than ten people in black Mechs flew over. These people were wearing the same Super Micro Mechs as the previous group of Wasp members.
More than ten people in Mechs landed, and began to search around the lake.
"Boss! I found a single aircraft, and the model is very new. It should have been brought out by those natural people! "
One of the Mechs found the single aircraft that Garon left by the lake.
Hearing the clue, the tallest person in the group flew over, landed in front of the aircraft, and patted the propeller of the aircraft.
"It must be that natural person's. Since he casually left it here, he either didn't want it, or he can't." His voice was rough, but his words were delicate.
There was a slight commotion among the people around, and some of them didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Boss, what you mean is that this person either left on his own accord, or an accident happened and he can't come back for the time being." A female voice on the side explained.
"Mondeo, are you sure that natural person didn't wear any armor, and he killed your entire team!?" The boss turned his head and asked the last Mech at the back.
"Yes, definitely. If it wasn't for my quick reaction, or if he wanted to leave someone alive to ask for information, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to return!" Mondeo quickly explained.
The boss was silent for a moment, and saw that the Mechs around him were waiting for him to make a decision.
A natural person, a strong natural person who suddenly appeared here, had the ability to quickly take care of five Mechs, and it was very likely that he could take care of the remaining ten or so Mechs.
"Don't provoke him. This person is very strong. Maybe he's an expert sent by the big shots in the region to carry out a mission. Even if he's not, we can't deal with him alone."
"The Mechs of those five people have been found. Boss, why don't we retreat first?" Someone suggested.
"Let's retreat first. Don't worry about him in this area. Let's not come here for the time being. We'll come back after that person leaves." The boss decisively listened to the suggestion, and didn't feel embarrassed at all. In the radiation belt, it was natural for the strong to be respected. Avoiding and running away wasn't shameful.
The group of people carried the Mechs and left quickly. Mondeo was the last to fall, and he looked back at the huge Colorful Lake.
"A natural person …" His eyes flashed with strong yearning.
