Stunning Dragon Wife

"It's so hot."

As soon as the group entered the scenic area, they felt the unbearable heat and couldn't help but complain.

And the deeper they walked, the higher the temperature seemed to become.

Not only did everyone take off their down jackets, but even rolled up their inner sleeves.

The scenic area was an ancient-style ice sculpture complex.

First, a framework was built using woodworking, then it was doused with cold water. With the weather in the Northeast, it only took one night to freeze, forming an ice palace that looked like a magnificent city of ice and snow.

But now, all the ice sculpture complexes had melted, leaving the ground muddy and evaporating into white mist.

Everyone was sweating profusely.

"I can't take it, I really can't go on."

About three hundred meters away from the center's Great Hall, the majority couldn't bear it anymore, as if they were being roasted inside a big furnace, even breathing became extremely difficult. Immediately, many people took off even their sweaters, leaving only a thin vest, with some even starting to retreat.

"This is exactly like Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad's Alchemy Furnace, it's too hot."

"I can't walk any further."

Spoiled Qian Xue, who had never endured such hardship, squatted on the ground and complained.

"Why don't we not go in either?"

At this moment, Bai Shutong also found it hard to endure.

Jiang Qin on the side, although having some cultivation, also found it extremely tough.

"It's okay."

Zhang Xiaoshan, who originally stood between the two women, smiled slightly and reached out, holding the delicate hands of both women to his left and right.

The moment they made contact, the two who were previously sweltering and breathing hard suddenly felt relieved, their body temperatures neither too hot nor cold, just right, and extremely comfortable.

"Zhang Xiaoshan, this?"

"What's going on? How come it's suddenly not hot anymore?"

"So magical."

"Zhang Xiaoshan, what did you do?"

Bai Shutong asked Zhang Xiaoshan in surprise.

Jiang Qin, knowing Zhang Xiaoshan's abilities, wasn't too surprised.

Zhang Xiaoshan laughed.

"You'll know later, let's go inside first."

He led the two women toward the Great Hall.

"What's up with this guy? How is he not hot?"

"Yeah, he seems perfectly fine, not even a bit flushed, how strange."

Following behind, Qian Xue and the geological team were amazed.

"Damn."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan with an arm around each woman, laughing and chatting, Qian Xue was furious.

Jealous.

"If he can bear it, so can I. Let's go inside."

Everyone wetted some towels, covered their heads, and gritted their teeth as they went in.

When they arrived outside the Great Hall.

Bai Yong and the people from Fengtian City Development Company, along with Academician Qian, had already arrived before them.

Everyone was drenched in sweat, lips dry.

The temperature here had reached at least sixty or seventy degrees, and some were even suffering from heatstroke.

Bai Yong spoke to Academician Qian.

"Mr. Qian, this Great Hall is the core area of the scenic spot, and the hottest place, the issue is very likely here."

Looking at the surroundings and feeling the scorching heat, Academician Qian couldn't help but feel uneasy.

This was beyond the scope of geology.

Speechless for a long time, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Academician Qian, have you figured out anything?"

Bai Yong asked nervously.

Qian Wei, feeling embarrassed but unwilling to lose face, deliberately put on a profound look and reluctantly said.

"This matter seems complicated. It's hard to say now, let's go in and take a look first."

Immediately, two security guards opened the large doors.

"Creak..."

With a sound, the doors were pushed open.

"Whoosh…"

Instantly, a rush of white mist surged out from inside, with such high temperatures that it scared everyone to back away.

As the mist slightly dispersed, everyone looked inside.

Inside the Great Hall, they saw that the huge ice dragon sculpture on the ceiling had completely melted, the ground was full of melted water about a foot deep, bubbling, and even the pillars on the roof had turned carbon black, the air was filled with a burnt smell.

The temperature measurement showed it had reached ninety degrees.

If they were to walk straight in, they'd probably get burned alive.

The Flame Mountain was nothing compared to this.

Everyone was frightened and stepped back.

Too strange.

"Academician Qian, what do you think is going on here?"

Bai Yong asked, wiping sweat with a towel and anxiously questioning Academician Qian.

Academician Qian couldn't endure it either.

"Let's step back a bit to talk."

Immediately, they retreated dozens of meters, and only then did the temperature drop a little.

Everyone caught their breath, and as their breathing normalized, Bai Yong hurriedly asked again.

"Mr. Qian, this area was a volcanic zone before, could it be tectonic movements or a volcanic eruption?"

"Natural disaster?"

Bai Yong hoped Qian Wei could give him a definite answer. If it were a natural disaster, it would be beyond his control. If deemed a human disaster, like snow falling in June, it would suggest a grave injustice, or mismanagement on his part. Not only would it be a disaster this time, but even in the future, there would be no hope of redemption.

Unfortunately, Academician Qian gave him a disappointing answer.

"No, this has little to do with natural disasters. You're right, this was a volcanic area before. I also came here for scientific research when I was young. But this is a dormant volcano. Furthermore, even if it were tectonic movement, it would be a large-scale event, not just within a few kilometers."

"This?"

Bai Yong's heart sank.
