Chen Yang's body has a strong ability to heal itself, so a cold is nothing to him.
However, apart from a few minor bouts of diarrhea due to irregular eating habits when he first entered the micro-world, he has experienced almost no physical discomfort.
This was true when he acquired the wolf bloodline, granting him the ability to move with lightness and making him less susceptible to temperature changes. Later, with the addition of his peak physical condition, it goes without saying that he was even more exceptional.
In the past two days in Antarctica, he actually caught a cold. Even his clothes, which were supposed to be impervious to both heat and cold, couldn't completely prevent the discomfort caused by the alternating hot and cold temperatures.
This was the first time he had been sick in several years.
Getting sick once in a while isn't so bad, Chen Yang actually felt happy and even laughed.
"That's good, it's starting to feel human again," Chen Yang muttered to himself.
The minor ailment of a cold did not affect his work, and he continued his digging work.
After digging for another day, Chen Yang entered the micro-realm again. A new day began in the micro-realm, and he was able to bring out another ten kilograms of lava.
The volcano had a minor activity in the past two days, which did not affect Chen Yang.
He immediately withdrew from the micro-world after drawing out the lava again.
When exiting the micro-world, the physical micro-world experiences a delay, but the mental world exits immediately, as if it has been split into two parts.
The soul is too mysterious; even Chen Yang couldn't figure out its underlying principles.
The steam rose again, but Chen Yang firmly controlled it.
He is now more than 400 meters underground, and he breathes entirely by relying on the lightness of his body.
As he descended, there were grooves left on the ice wall for him to climb. Just like the ninjas in the Naruto movie, he grabbed a groove and pushed hard, flying upwards at great speed.
This is also the method that Chen Yang has been researching and climbing over the past two days. He discovered that he can do all kinds of moves from Naruto.
However, he couldn't leap between branches like they did. It wasn't that he couldn't, but the branches were full of forks and leaves; how could he leap like that? The branches in Naruto are always bare.
He flipped the cooled rocks out of the lava and jumped directly into the cave.
Chen Yang clung to the cave wall, his body billowing in the wind. It looked like he was falling, but he was actually close to sliding down, though the speed was still quite frightening.
When he landed, his legs buckled, making a loud thud.
He took out his phone for light, and saw that the ice beneath his feet was cracked. Even an ordinary person hitting it with a hammer might not create cracks, so you can imagine how powerful Chen Yang's impact was.
He took out his stubborn blade and continued his digging work.
He desperately hoped that the stubborn blade could become a stubborn sword. Using a dagger to chisel was truly a terrible thing. Fortunately, ice sometimes cracks into large chunks, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to chisel so quickly.
Chen Yang also discovered some tricks. He could control the density of the ice to make slight changes, so that when he stabbed it, the ice would easily shatter into pieces.
After digging for an hour, Chen Yang carried the iron bucket out to transport the broken ice, then came back down, repeating this process.
He's actually digging very fast now, but transporting the ice fragments is taking too much time.
"Congratulations, Realm Lord, on the successful excavation of the alien remains."
A notification suddenly appeared in the micro-world.
Chen Yang was taken aback; this plot wasn't right.
Shouldn't it be a "clink," the dagger hitting some hard object, and then he excitedly chiseling through the ice to discover alien remains?
Could this be the remains of aliens, or something extraordinary?
Just as Chen Yang was thinking this, a ball emitting a hazy light suddenly flew out of his body and then into the ground.
"What's going on?"
Chen Yang couldn't understand the current situation, so he could only wait quietly.
About a minute later, the ball of light flew back and merged directly into Chen Yang's body.
"Congratulations, Realm Master, on successfully absorbing the alien remains. Mission complete."
And then... that was it...
"Wait, what's going on? I haven't even seen the remains yet, how did it absorb them? What about the mission completion reward?"
The micro-world did not respond to Chen Yang, so Chen Yang waited for a long time in the ice cave 500 meters underground, but there was no response at all.
He checked the ground and found it was still ice; there was no hollow space.
"These remains aren't physical matter?" Chen Yang guessed.
However, he could only guess; he couldn't prove anything.
Moreover, he did not notice any changes in himself, his abilities did not increase, and he did not grow a tail or horns.
So, what exactly is the purpose of this mission?
Chen Yang was completely bewildered by the situation before him.
So, all that hard work I put into digging for so many days, and even using up all the weight I brought out over a month, is all I get in return a task completion notification?
"Waaah~"
A long howl suddenly came from overhead.
Chen Yang immediately put aside his doubts, put the iron bucket into his spatial ring, and then immediately flew upwards.
The long howl from the European Emperor was a warning to him, telling him that someone was approaching.
Chen Yang quickly reached the ground, and the European Emperor immediately took off running, with Chen Yang following him.
The European Emperor's sense of smell is now comparable to that of a bear, and far superior to that of an ordinary dog; it knows which direction is the right one.
Five minutes after they started running, several snowmobiles pulled up.
"This is it, the place with the abnormal temperature!"
The people Chen Yang saw at the research station, including Schmond, all came over.
They became excited as soon as they saw the snow cave.
This is a new discovery!
They used professional instruments to measure the depth of the snow cave and immediately knew it.
501 meters!
The appearance of a hole more than 500 meters deep in Antarctica is simply unbelievable; even with modern equipment, it would be difficult to achieve.
"These marks look like they were chiseled out."
"No, no, look deeper in the ground. That mark is clearly from high-temperature melting."
"There is a possibility of high temperature. Don't forget, we came here because we detected an abnormal temperature."
"Yes, but look at this area, it's clearly a chisel mark left by a sharp tool."
Do you think it was done by someone?
"Judging from the marks, it should be, but what method did he use? How did he dig a hole 500 meters deep? It couldn't have been done by human hands, but machines can't hide anything from us."
"Regardless, let's report this matter first."
"Okay, let's do a thorough check and then report the data to our superiors."
The people at Amundsen-Scott Station immediately began testing, but the more they tested, the more confused they became. The snow cave showed signs of melting at high temperatures one moment, and signs of being carved by hand the next. They just couldn't figure it out.
"Look, this pile of snow must be the snow debris dug out from this snow cave."
"Why is there so little?"
"Some of it must have melted into water vapor due to the high temperature."
"What are those rocks over there? I've never seen rocks like these in Antarctica before."
"It looks like... volcanic rock."
"ha?"
