Mo Yan and Feng Xuan were, at most, suffering and exhausted, but Lan Yin was in mortal danger.
The pool water was truly deadly. Fortunately, the guards said an order had come from above to temporarily stop the water torture, which finally gave them a chance to catch their breath.
Ao Shan had experience with escape attempts, so he briefly described the route to Lan Yin.
"...That's the gist of it. There are too many guards. The slightest mistake and you'll be discovered."
That was how Ao Shan had been discovered and then dragged back by that strange vortex.
Lan Yin was thoughtful. "What if we bypass the guards and get directly outside of Coral City?"
From Ao Shan's explanation, Lan Yin learned that this place was Coral City, the former settlement of the Merfolk Clan on the Beast God Continent.
Because Beastmen would lose their way after entering, it was also known as the "Coral Maze City."
