Yue Qi was also very uneasy. Yan Qing's diving suit was gone? Then it would be much more difficult for them to get out.

Based on his earlier estimate, this place must be at least tens of meters underwater. Without professional diving suits and decompression equipment, anyone who comes here will surely die.

Just like Guo Hu, ordinary people can only dive to a maximum of ten meters or so due to their physical limitations. But Yue Qi, as a superhuman, has had his body completely modified by lightning. Mere water pressure is nothing to him.

Similarly, Yan Qing was also in the same boat. But without diving equipment, a person can't hold their breath underwater for long.

Just as he was secretly worried, Yan Qing waved her hand, and a brand new diving equipment suddenly appeared on the ground.

Dust swirled around her, making her cough repeatedly.

"Cough cough cough—wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Yan Qing quickly put on her gear. Behind her, Yue Qi was first dumbfounded, then smiled with relief.

Yes, how could he forget? This girl is a super-rich tycoon! Unlike him, she's not short of money!

"Yan Qing, how many sets of diving equipment did you buy?" Yue Qi finally couldn't help but ask.

Yan Qing answered without turning her head, "Not many, maybe a dozen or so sets—a dozen or so sets for men and a dozen for women."

Well, Yue Qi was completely convinced. He probably would never understand the world of the super-rich.

"Alright, let's go!"

As soon as Yan Qing finished dressing, she eagerly grabbed Yue Qi and left, as if afraid that if she was even a step too slow, Chu Jiang would catch her.

"etc--"

Yue Qi was much more composed; he needed to give Yan Qing a heads-up.

"When we go out later, we will encounter a barrier. Above the barrier is water that is tens of meters deep, and the water pressure is terrifying. You should prepare in advance."

"good!"

The two began climbing up the rock wall above them. When they emerged from the small hole that Yue Qi had just created, Yan Qing was completely dumbfounded.

"This, this is really underwater?" Good heavens, she had never been to the underwater world in her life, but now she was experiencing the scenery at the bottom of the lake.

Yan Qing turned the searchlight up to its maximum, but the visible range was still only a few meters. Beyond that, there was only overwhelming darkness.

"So this is what the underwater world really looks like?" Yan Qing felt a little disappointed. "Isn't the underwater world we see on TV always so colorful?"

“That’s shallow water—” Yue Qi patiently explained to her, “Shallow water is where the light can shine, that’s true, but the further down you go, the weaker the light becomes, and the darker it gets. It’s at least several tens of meters deep here now, and it’s nighttime, so it’s no wonder you can’t see clearly.”

"Oh—" So that's how it is. Yan Qing didn't realize that she had unconsciously adopted a coquettish tone. Yue Qi smiled. This girl is really cute without even realizing it.

"Alright—" He patted Yan Qing's head, pointed to the light barrier emanating a faint bloody aura not far ahead, and his tone unconsciously became serious.

"After you get past this light barrier, things will get a bit nauseating, so bear with it. Also—there might be some broken limbs of people in the water, so be careful."

Seeing his cautious attitude, Yan Qing also became much more serious. Next, she would see for herself what kind of place this was.

"Pfft—"

A soft, bubbly sound suddenly rang in Chu Jiang's ears. He, who had been standing facing the wind with his eyes closed in meditation, suddenly opened them.

"She ran out so quickly, she really is my Qingqing!"

Chu Jiang actually laughed, her long hair moving without wind, giving her a breathtakingly beautiful appearance.

Beneath her feet, a person and a strange creature, bound tightly, shivered in unison.

——————

Yan Qing was in great pain, her entire body bearing the immense water pressure coming from all directions. She swore that if she managed to get out alive, she would never go into the water again, no matter what.

Looking back at the spot where I had climbed out, I saw a small red light barrier. The area covered by the light barrier was actually a massive mountain deeply rooted in the lakebed, stretching downwards with no end in sight.

The small hole she crawled out of was only a tiny part of this massive mountain.

Yan Qing wanted to go back and check on things, but the underwater environment was just too uncomfortable. She glanced at Yue Qi beside her; he wasn't much better off than her. Despite the discomfort, he was still determined to carry her, struggling to swim upwards.

Yan Qing suddenly felt a surge of courage, and her whole demeanor brightened considerably. So what if she felt bad? She was a superhuman; she wouldn't die anyway. She'd treat this little bit of pressure as exercise.

Yue Qi sensed that the person behind her had suddenly become more energetic. This girl was quite imposing, and she almost ran ahead of her.

The two continued swimming upwards for about ten meters, and in the distance, Yan Qing once again saw a huge red light shield.

She touched Yue Qi's hand and pointed in that direction; she wanted to go and take a look.

Yue Qi silently made an "OK" gesture and took the lead in swimming towards the light shield.

This time, the light barrier was still on that enormous mountain that seemed to stretch endlessly, but it was many times larger than before. From the outside, the end of the light barrier was completely invisible, making it incomparable to a small cave.

Moreover, the closer one gets to the light shield, the more shocking the scene becomes.

Numerous broken pieces of human remains were scattered across the lake, floating aimlessly.

These pieces vary in size, but they are clearly cut with tools, as the cuts are noticeably neat.

Yan Qing narrowed her eyes. These people had actually been dismembered alive!

As a result, when she looked at the broken limbs again, her eyes involuntarily filled with sympathy.

She thought she should know who this person was.

Sure enough, Yue Qi led her to the edge of the light barrier. Yan Qing reached out and gently touched it, and then she found herself in the Zhang family's old mansion.

It turns out that the Zhang family's old house, which she had always thought was underground, was actually built underwater! Moreover, it was located in such a huge mountain. Judging from the hardness of the rocks, even without the protection of the light shield, this place could naturally form a small paradise.

Yan Qing snapped out of her daze and realized that Yue Qi was no longer behind her. Instead, not far in front of her, someone was smiling at her.

"So, how was the underwater adventure? Was it fun?"
