Yang Yi checked the time. The Pure White Potion had almost five hours left, while his invisibility, which he had only just activated, still had nearly three hours to run. That was enough for the infiltration.
After passing the enormous Crystal Giant, he slowed down, treading lightly as he quietly followed the Ice Nest Swarm ahead deeper inside.
Five minutes later.
Yang Yi had passed three sentry posts. With his exceptional agility, the Ice Nest Elders on watch had been unable to detect him at all, letting him slip right in.
After he advanced another few hundred meters, the Ice Nest Swarm ahead suddenly disappeared.
Yang Yi immediately followed, then crouched down, suppressing his presence until it was almost undetectable.
Before him was a sheer drop of over five hundred meters. The mass of Ice Nest Worms had flown down with the man in white, making them look as though they had vanished from a distance.
The vast space contained many enormous pieces of engineering machinery with exaggerated designs, including mechanical cranes, drills, giant excavators, and transport vehicles. Their surfaces were covered in thick crystalline deposits. Clearly, they had been neither used nor maintained for a long time.
There was still electricity here, however. Yang Yi noticed the cool lights glowing below. Of all the sites he had passed so far, this was the only one that still had power.
Everywhere else had been pitch-black. Without darkvision, moving around here would have been impossible.
The reason Yang Yi had crouched down was that a Crystal Giant hundreds of meters tall stood directly in front of the passage. There was a complete human body inside it, its gaze aimed straight this way.
"...Senge, have you still not caught that cunning merchant?"
The person inside the Crystal Giant spoke without moving
