"Have you found your two junior brothers?" Chen Zhou asked softly. The two of them leaped onto a tree branch and continued forward.
"I don't know. I got trapped here as soon as I escaped. There was a huge dark shadow at the bottom of the pool. I was passing by when the shadow grabbed me and sank me to the bottom."
After hearing Ji Lanying's explanation, Chen Zhou roughly understood what had happened.
“We’re just wasting our energy by running around aimlessly like this,” Chen Zhou said calmly. Ji Lanying was clearly getting anxious.
Indeed, staying in a place shrouded in black fog for too long can make one feel irritable and restless.

What exactly happened?
Could it be that he has been cultivating all along?
Ji Lanying became more and more confused as she thought about it. Now she felt a strange sense of irritability and her mood was getting more and more anxious.
"Chen Zhou! Something's strange here. Don't you smell anything unusual?!" Ji Lanying suddenly asked Chen Zhou, connecting her inexplicable irritation with the unusual smell.
