The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

It is a lake, and the lake is also filled with water.

It's perfectly normal for a lake to have water, but the problem is, this is the deepest part of the iceberg. Let alone water, even fire would probably freeze solid.

Even these chosen ones risked their lives to get here.

"It's not cold anymore."

As they cautiously approached the lake, they suddenly noticed that the intense cold they had just experienced had vanished.

The temperature has returned to normal, no wonder the water here didn't freeze.

As for why the temperature suddenly changed so drastically.

The entire secret realm is abnormal, with an iceberg in the middle of the desert and Gobi, and a lake inside the iceberg. It cannot be judged by common sense.

Regardless, the fact that they no longer needed to expend a lot of true energy to resist the severe cold made Meng Xuanwu and the others secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, they soon frowned again.

Where's the promised treasure?

This should be the very center of the iceberg, but there's nothing there except for this lake.

Could this lake be a treasure?

Xiao Buyun tentatively touched the lake surface, then shook his head; it was just ordinary lake water.

"Then only the lake remains."

After a moment of silence, Su Jingyuan said something.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned even more deeply.

In fact, even if Su Jingyuan hadn't said it, they would have already thought of it.

This means that to obtain the treasure, one must enter the lake.

However, the situation in the lake is unclear, and who knows if there is any danger lurking there?

If you act rashly like this, you could very well lose your life in an instant.

Putting aside the fact that this is a secret realm where all sorts of strange things can happen. For example, what if there's a king-level beast lurking in this lake?

"We've finally made it this far; it would be a shame to turn back now."

Meng Xuanwu spoke, looking at the others.

"It's more than just a pity!"

Dugu Feiying snorted coldly, his gaze unwavering.

Although the others did not speak, they clearly meant the same thing.

This means we have to go into the water.

Should we go down together, or send one person ahead to scout ahead?

Unfortunately, none of the martial artists from Tianjing Group were present; otherwise, there would definitely have been gadgets like robot dogs.

At this time, none of the five of them had similar equipment, so they had to take the risk themselves.

Brother Lu.

After a moment of silence, the four of them suddenly looked at Lu Yuan.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan blinked and chuckled softly.

"You guys don't want me to go down first, do you?"

"Thanks to Brother Lu's reply about the medicine, we were able to get here, but in return, Lu Yuan has certainly made a lot of money from us."

When Meng Xuanwu spoke, his words essentially represented the four of them.

"Then aren't you being ungrateful?"

Lu Yuan stroked his chin and said, half-jokingly.

Whether Meng Xuanwu and his group were ungrateful is hard to say, but Lu Yuan certainly made a lot of money.

The forty vials of medicine were more than ten times the amount he had found through his own search!

Lu Yuanshang wasn't sure who made the most progress in cultivation during this trip to the secret realm, but if it came down to who acquired the most resources, no one could surpass him.

"Alright, I can go first, but you guys need to think this through."

Lu Yuan smiled again, looking at the four of them with a meaningful expression.

Meng Xuanwu and the others exchanged glances and then nodded.

At this point, it's likely that the battle for the treasure has reached its final stage. Whoever gets there first is very likely to win the treasure in the end.

Therefore, the first person to go into the water actually had a significant advantage.

However, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and the slightest mistake could cost them their lives. After weighing the pros and cons, they decided not to rush into it.

"Good that you've thought it through. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lu Yuan said something, then leaped into the lake with a splash.

They're going down already?

Meng Xuanwu and the others were all taken aback. They had thought it would take some effort to persuade Lu Yuan, but they didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

As they gazed at the still rippling lake, the four men's brows furrowed deeper, and they felt increasingly like they had been tricked.

However, no one followed immediately.

Regardless of whether there's anything fishy going on, let's wait and see if there's any danger before logging in.

"snort."

At this moment, beneath the lake's surface, Lu Yuan let out a soft hum and swam swiftly downstream like a swordfish.

His mental strength, five times that of an ordinary person, made him exceptionally perceptive of danger. His intuition told him that there was no danger beneath the surface of the lake, or at least not within the lake itself.

That's why he dared to be the first to jump into the water so readily.

Furthermore, having already come this far, regardless of whether there is danger, Lu Yuan cannot turn back.

Since we're going to have to go in the water eventually, we might as well be the first to go!

"It should be down there!"

While keeping a close eye on the surrounding movements, Lu Yuan descended as quickly as possible.

His intuition also told him that if there was any treasure, it should be at the bottom of the lake.

In this situation, Lu Yuan could only follow his instincts.

The lake is much deeper than one might imagine.

As we descended to a depth of over a thousand meters, there was no light left in the surroundings.

However, it seems that we haven't gotten much closer to the destination guided by our intuition.

Is this lake really that deep? Or is there another secret behind it?

This is a secret realm; nothing can be deduced from outside knowledge.

Finding no immediate clues, Lu Yuan decided to continue diving.

"No! We can't wait any longer!"

A while had passed, and neither any danger had occurred nor had Lu Yuan returned.

The four grew increasingly anxious, as if Lu Yuan had already obtained the treasure.

With a soft shout, Dugu Feiying finally couldn't hold back any longer and jumped into the water.

The remaining three, including Meng Xuanwu, jumped down almost without hesitation.

After entering the water, Lu Yuan was completely out of sight.

This lake is only three or four hundred meters in circumference. Since it can't be seen from the surrounding area, it must be below.

The next moment, the four of them swam down to the bottom of the lake.

So deep.

At their speed, even underwater, a depth of several thousand meters is nothing more than a blink of an eye.

With no light around, Lu Yuan had no way of finding anything and could only continue to search downwards.

As they went deeper, their hearts sank further down; it seemed as if the lake had no bottom.

Fortunately, apart from being completely dark, the water pressure did not change, and even the temperature remained the same.

Otherwise, even a Star Core Realm expert would not be able to continue diving indefinitely due to the ever-increasing water pressure with depth.

With no clue, the four could only grit their teeth and continue descending.

And so, they remained submerged for a full five hours!

"Light!"

Just when the four were starting to despair, they finally saw a glimmer of light below.

The four of them widened their eyes instantly, no longer caring about the danger, and swam over as fast as they could.

"This is……"

When they got closer, the four of them were stunned again.

It turned out to be a door.

The light was coming from inside the door; if the door had been closed, and it had been pitch black, they probably wouldn't have been able to find it.

Who opened this door?

The four men's expressions instantly darkened. Lu Yuan!

Where is Lu Yuan now?

Whoosh!

The next moment, Dugu Feiying shot into the doorway like a sharp arrow.

Lu Yuan had already gone inside; he no longer cared whether there was any danger behind the door!

"Enter!"

Immediately afterwards, Meng Xuanwu and the other two also entered the gate.

Buzz!

But the moment they stepped inside, the scene before them instantly changed.

In the vast and boundless starry sky, a giant human face emerges.
