Xiao Feng and his companions followed the river towards its end, and soon arrived at the lake the unicorns had mentioned.
Following the previously agreed-upon plan, Xiao Feng quickly leaped into the water and plunged directly into the lake.
On the surface, the lake doesn't seem very deep.
Xiao Feng kept going downstream.
For some reason, Xiao Feng felt like he had been swimming for a long time, but he still couldn't see the bottom of the lake.
Xiao Feng stopped and looked up.
The light above had become very faint, which proved that Xiao Feng had descended to a certain depth.
Xiao Feng thought that he might be able to dive to the bottom of the lake soon, and it would be too hasty to go back now and have others come down with him.
Xiao Feng could only adjust his body and continue diving downwards.
Xiao Feng's immortal power enveloped his body, giving him a soft, faint glow that allowed him to see the bottom of the lake.
As they descended deeper, the light at the bottom of the lake diminished, and the surrounding environment became increasingly dark.
It felt like something might emerge from the darkness at any moment.
Gradually, as he still hadn't reached the bottom of the lake, Xiao Feng began to feel somewhat irritable.
Just as his agitation reached its peak, Xiao Feng realized something was wrong and immediately stopped what he was doing.
The agitation rising in Xiao Feng's heart clashed violently with the rationality he had just regained.
"Something's not right! There must be something strange at the bottom of this lake! I can't dive any further. It seems I still need to ask those three dragons for help. When it comes to swimming, no one is better than them!"
If Xiao Feng had known the bottom of this lake was so strange, he should have pulled the dragon bone down with him.
Just as Xiao Feng was about to swim upwards, he suddenly looked up and saw someone swimming towards him.
Xiao Feng squinted and, using the immortal power around him, took a closer look. After seeing clearly, he realized that the person swimming towards him was actually Zhao Yuwei.
Xiao Feng relaxed and guessed that he must have been worried because he hadn't come up for a long time after diving to the bottom of the lake, so the people above were worried and had dived into the lake to see what had happened.
"Didn't I tell them not to come down without my prior warning? What if there's any danger down there? Senior sister is still too worried about me."
Xiao Feng felt a warm glow in his heart and quickly swam towards Zhao Yuwei, intending to take her out from below first.
However, as the two drew closer and were about to meet, Xiao Feng suddenly stopped and immediately mobilized the immortal power in his body to attack the approaching person.
The sudden surge of consciousness in Xiao Feng's mind brought him back to his senses.
Zhao Yuwei wouldn't be such an impulsive person.
I've already told them that if there are any problems below, I'll find a way to inform them.
Just in case, he specially left them magical artifacts that could be used to sense each other.
The bracelet on my wrist didn't react at all, which meant that no one on the shore had entered the lake.
Who is this Zhao Yuwei who appears in front of me?
Xiao Feng was so happy to see Zhao Yuwei that he almost forgot about this.
Now that he had realized what was happening, Xiao Feng immediately distanced himself from Zhao Yuwei.
At the same time, Xiao Feng did not forget to take action against the imposter Zhao Yuwei in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the imposter Zhao Yuwei acted very quickly.
She swiftly dodged Xiao Feng's immortal power attack before it even reached her.
Xiao Feng also noticed her strange behavior.
Even though Xiao Feng and his companions were cultivators, their movement was still hindered by the water while they were in the lake.
In particular, they were not wearing any magical artifacts that would allow them to swim freely in the water.
But the imposter Zhao Yuwei in front of me was completely unaffected by the resistance in the water.
She dodged Xiao Feng's attacks with such speed that even Xiao Feng was somewhat shocked.
What made Xiao Feng even more uneasy was that after the imposter Zhao Yuwei dodged Xiao Feng's immortal power, she swooped down on him again.
Almost instantly, she was only an arm's length away from Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng clearly saw a very strange smile on her face.
The next second, Xiao Feng suddenly felt dizzy and his vision went black.
Xiao Feng tried hard to stay awake, but mental exhaustion made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
Xiao Feng was about to touch the bracelet to warn the people on the shore.
But his right wrist was already being gripped.
Xiao Feng eventually fell into a deep sleep.
Just before his consciousness completely plunged into darkness, Xiao Feng regretted that he shouldn't have dived into the lake alone.
Xiao Feng knew that something must have gone wrong with him, but he couldn't find the root of the problem and had no way to resist.
During the period when Xiao Feng was unconscious, his consciousness was as if it were floating on a piece of driftwood in the ocean.
Floating and sinking, boundless and endless.
It wasn't until his consciousness was washed ashore that Xiao Feng slowly began to feel the existence of his own body.
Xiao Feng struggled to break free of his mental cage.
The moment Xiao Feng regained consciousness, he suddenly opened his eyes and found himself soaking wet, having actually been washed ashore on a small island.
Xiao Feng looked around; the island was located on a boundless ocean.
The island looked beautiful, bathed in the warm spring sunshine.
Even when Xiao Feng was standing on the shore, he could hear the birdsong on the island.
But the question is, if he didn't dive into a lake, why did he suddenly end up here?
Although the lake was quite large, Xiao Feng had already checked it before entering and there were no small islands on it. So where was he going?
Xiao Feng wanted to recall how he got here.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember what had happened before.
Xiao Feng could only try to contact the system to find out where he was.
When he tapped the system panel, he found that the system was grayed out, as if it had gone offline.
For the first time, Xiao Feng felt a nameless panic in his heart.
Xiao Feng kept calling out to the system in his mind, but the system did not respond.
"System! Don't let me down! Where am I? Where is everyone else? What happened before?!"
Xiao Feng had forgotten about his encounter with the imposter Zhao Yuwei deep in the lake.
His memory only goes back to when he reached the depths of the lake, realized his emotions were abnormal, wanted to turn back, and vaguely saw a figure.
But he had already forgotten who that figure was.
Xiao Feng called the system for a while and found that the system was indeed not online.
Xiao Feng had no choice but to temporarily abandon seeking help from this unreliable thing, and got up on his own to slowly explore the surroundings and observe whether there was any danger.
