The White Giant's Temple.
The structure of the building resembles the skeleton of the upper human body without arms (ribs and skull).
At a glance, it looks simple, but in reality, maintaining the operation of such a biological building requires an extremely complex energy supply network.
The 'ventilation duct' that Novikov navigates through is actually part of the hidden energy network inside the temple... In such a labyrinthine network of passages, one could easily encounter a surge of energy that causes massive damage to biological organisms.
Yet, Novikov skillfully avoided all the wrong turns, following the shortest correct route to the "Ninth Rib".
Following the scent lingering in the duct, Han Dong, who was close behind, picked up a bargain and was also able to confirm that Novikov had a deep connection with the White Giant.
