"Hmph, at least it ran fast!"

"What should we do, Senior Sister? If it gets away, we won't be able to explain it to Master when we go back."

"Luoyan Peak is our territory, but the area below is not under our jurisdiction. We originally intended to spare its life, but now, humph! Let's go back and report the truth. Master is not an unreasonable person; if we confess our crimes, perhaps we can be treated leniently."

"Yes, Senior Sister!"

The group glanced down at each other with resentment, then turned and left.

Looking at the red ball again, as soon as its body hit the ground, it tried to inhale deeply, attempting to inflate its body into a balloon to slow its descent.

Unfortunately, it was too full and its body was very heavy. No matter how much air was blown in, the speed at which it fell was increasing.

Moreover, there seemed to be a faint suction force pulling at its body from below.

The red ball gritted its teeth and tried its best to turn its mouth downwards, so that even if there was something below, it could bite it first.

The falling speed increased, and soon a black river appeared in the red ball's line of sight.

The river flowed silently and dimly, with not a single plant around it, not even animal footprints in sight; it was completely barren.

The suction increased again, and the red ball suddenly plunged into the river. It sank less than half a meter after being carried by the current.

All around was a dark, murky atmosphere, and the red ball couldn't see anything. Caught off guard, it swallowed a mouthful of river water, quickly spitting it out. It dared not open its mouth again, silently pleading with Xiang Wan, "I was wrong! Who knew it was so dangerous outside! Please save me! I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"

Xiang Wan, who had just entered meditation, suddenly opened her eyes.

She seemed to hear the sound of the red ball!
