The hazy smoky-gray mist floated in the air like a veil and slowly spread.

At first they were as light and thin as if they were illusions, but as time went on, they gradually began to condense together, turning into countless tiny and round water droplets.

These water droplets are as crystal clear as crystal, sparkling with a faint but charming light.

They slid down slowly and silently through the tiny gaps between the lush green vines.

Those vines are like naturally carved jade, with a fascinating transparent texture throughout.

Each vine exudes a luster full of vitality and vigor. Even in such a strange and mysterious atmosphere, it still appears exceptionally lively and agile, as if it has its own life.

Not far from here, stands a tall, wide and uniquely shaped chemical liquid pool.

However, at this moment, it has been completely covered by an extremely thick layer of ice crystals.

Beneath the ice surface, a faint blue light can be seen, which appears and disappears from time to time, as if showing Ma Tuan that there are countless unknown secrets hidden within.

At this moment, Ma Tuan was sitting on the cold and hard ground in a mess. His hair, which was originally quite neat, had now become a mess, as if he had just experienced a violent hurricane.

Several strands of broken and messy hair hung casually in front of his forehead, just covering his slightly tired and lifeless eyes.

The clothes he was wearing were extremely tattered, with tears of all sizes all over the place. Through these tears, one could clearly see the snow-white hair and skin underneath, and there were also spots of undried blood on it, which looked a bit shocking.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving up and down, obviously having just expended a lot of mental energy.

Tiny snowflakes fluttered onto his head and body.

He raised his head and scanned everything around him, his eyes full of confusion and doubt.

"Huh—what the hell is this?"

He muttered, a hint of surprise in his voice.

His eyes fell on the frozen liquid pool again.

Although the surface was frozen, he could still see something wriggling and twisting inside through the ice, as if countless worms were struggling under the ice, trying to break free.

The twisted shape made him feel sick, as if something evil was trying to break through the ice.

His eyes turned to the support beside the chemical tank.

The thing looked like it was made of metal sticks, but Ma Tuan's first reaction was quickly denied.

Because he had walked up to her before and touched her gently with his hand.

The touch seemed slightly slippery, like the bones of an ancient creature that had been carefully polished over the years.

Not only does it have a distinct bony feel, but it is also completely different from the coldness and hardness of metal.

Certain parts even retain a hint of tenacity, as if they were the remains of some hitherto unknown mysterious creature.

Such an unknown thing made him feel a chill in his heart and a creepy feeling.

He once again approached the edge of the liquid pool. Even though the pool was frozen by ice at this moment, the originally boiling liquid in it seemed to still be trembling slightly, and from time to time, a very subtle "gurgling" sound could be heard.

Ma Tuan, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment. His intuition flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning - here, there seemed to be a faint unique scent of Nanshu!

You know, Nan Song is his close companion.

They studied hard together in the academy, almost from dawn to dusk. Apart from the essential sleep, meals and personal physiological needs, the four of them were always inseparable, whether attending lectures, after-class discussions, or going out for practice and exploring secret places, and they kept a highly consistent pace in everything.

Moreover, they have experienced several thrilling adventures together.

During those journeys full of difficulties and dangers, they supported and helped each other, and over time they forged a special tacit understanding in each other's hearts that was difficult for others to understand.

But at this moment, he was clearly the only one here. The surroundings were terribly quiet, with only the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat echoing in his ears.

He looked around in confusion, his eyes searching the darkness, trying to find any trace of Nansong.

His heart was beating faster and faster for no apparent reason, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.

Is this an illusion? Or is Nansong really here, but hidden in a corner?

He wasn't sure, but the familiar feeling was so real, as if Nansong was not far away, watching him.

The surroundings seemed to become even more eerie at this moment. The smoky gray fog grew thicker, shrouding everything in a hazy haze.

The vines in the distance swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if telling some unknown secret.

Ma Tuan didn't know why he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. He clenched his fists tightly and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that now was not the time to panic. He had to figure out what had happened here and where Nan Song had gone.

Ma Tuan was a little surprised and confused, and began to pace back and forth again.

There was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, as if he was searching for something but wasn't sure.
