Jiang Yan steered the amphibious boat, traveling for a while longer.
As she approached the Nanpan River channel, her field of vision began to fill with giant ice blocks that hadn't yet melted.
Nature's craftsmanship was uncanny, creating jagged ice structures that lent the illusion of being in the Southern Pole region.
Soon, Jiang Yan spotted through her telescope a massive, mutated human corpse floating on the water.
The temperature was too low for the corpse to decay, but prolonged exposure to the water had turned it pale and bloated, with a grotesque, nauseating appearance.
Oddly, besides the dense clusters of tiny insects on the corpse, it was entwined with ropes as thick as a wrist, resembling intestines.
Just as Jiang Yan was about to examine the strange ropes more closely, one of the ropes, estimated to be over ten meters long, began moving slowly.
It was alive!
