Victor hovered, squinting into the darkness.
'Is this it?'
He'd been underwater for nearly fifteen minutes, but he wasn't worried.
With his cultivation and training from back then in the academy, he could easily hold his breath for over an hour. Still, he didn't like wasting time.
The flickering light appeared again this time to his right, near the western end of the lakebed.
Victor instantly shifted toward it… then stopped.
Because something wasn't right.
Though he was standing on solid ice, which meant he had reached the bottom, the flicker of light came from deeper... beneath this floor.
"Huh?"
He scanned the ground until he found a slim crack, barely wide enough for a hand to slip through.
This was where the faint moon-colored light glow had come from.
If not for the flash earlier, he wouldn't have noticed at all that there was extra room for descent below this surface.
