LOL oh boy.

“What you did seems to be having an effect! The ice cube is starting to crack already!” Huang Yi said while examining the cube closely with expression of nervousness and excitement.

Luckily for them, the cold storage room was quite spacious, so even when the ice cube shattered into fragments there was still an area of several meters for them to move around. At least, they wouldn't die from being crushed by miniature icebergs.

Liu Zhi Gang kept pressing the yellow button rapidly. The liquid noise it produced stopped after a short while. When Liu Zhi Gang released the button and pressed the button down again, the sound of liquid circulating resumed. Liu Zhi Gang was still unsure of what the purpose of the liquid was, but he knew that the liquid could speed up the melting process.

As they were waiting for the ice to melt, the vents stopped blowing out hot air, and the round covers were closed again. Huang Yi walked over to investigate, soon he understood that the ice cube was positioned at the center of a network of heated metal lattices that drew in air from the outside. Huang Yi was able to see the metal lattices within the round covers.

These metal lattices were capable of emitting heat, and had melted a good portion of the large ice cube into water.

“Could it be possible that this place is an enlarged refrigerator?” Huang Yi was shocked.

At this moment, the floor started trembling, and the gigantic ice cube had its four corners melt into smaller pieces when heated by the metal sheets contacting the floor. The water was drained into the ground, once again revealing that the ice cube stood dead center in the room.

Muffled by a dozen meters inside the ice cube, it was hard to hear the noise emanating from within. From the outside, it merely looked as if a large rock had been frozen to ice.

“What exactly is inside?” Huang Yi stared at the ice cube in shock.

“That... I can't tell yet.” Liu Zhi Gang looked over at the ice cube. He was still busy in the corner pressing the yellow button and focusing on the monitor. Soon, the ripple shifted gradually every ten seconds.

Huang Yi had his hand wiping on the ice cube to see what is within the ice cube. Suddenly, the ice cube cracked apart, and large amount of fragments fell from above. Huang Yi reacted immediately to avoid getting crushed.

A large black-colored object appeared before them. It didn't look any different from a rock. With the icicles and ice chunks still attached to it, it held a close resemblance to a certain thing.

“Hey… do you feel like it… looks like a large crab?” Huang Yi walked back over to Liu Zhi Gang.

“Yeah, seems like it.” Liu Zhi Gang replied. Now that the ice was broken, he finally stopped pressing the yellow button.

“How do you think… this thing… will help us in any way?” Huang Yi asked Liu Zhi Gang.

“No idea. Perhaps… inside the shell has something useful like treasure for us?” Liu Zhi Gang shook his head. He reached out his hand to touch the claw, and with his axe he hacked down a few times.
