The so called "water throne" was not at the bottom of the Qingyu Lake's lake. Qingyu Lake's area was far inferior to large lakes like the Dong Ting Lake. The water depth was not more than twenty meters, and it was not even thirty meters. It was impossible to accommodate such a large space under the water.

The "water throne" was a completely independent space, and the number of tunnels that led to this place could be said to be many or few. On that day, Magus King exploded, and the whirlpool created a hole, which could be considered an entrance. After that, Andrea had sneaked into the bottom of the Qingyu Lake and accidentally entered a passage. The reason he did not see any trace of the Magus King was because the two of them walked on different paths. And Zhou Heng, who had entered the water at the end, had also embarked on a completely different path from the two in front of him.

For people who had never been to the "water throne" before, it was hard to predict which road they would walk on and where they would lead to.

Andrea's luck was the worst. After diving for nearly a thousand meters, he finally arrived at the Python's breeding grounds. The small fishes he had encountered with skeletons on their heads were the rations for the young Python. If not for the fact that the Elsa siblings had coincidentally passed by, Andrea would have been able to escape from the fish's mouth and die in the Python's young mouth.

However, Zhou Heng's experience was completely different. After he went into the water, he saw a large copper pillar not too deep. He knew that the Black Tower mages came to Qingyu Lake for the Dragon Cave at the bottom of the lake, but he did not know that there was such a copper pillar at the bottom of the lake.

This copper pillar was around six to seven meters in diameter. Looking down, one would not be able to see the bottom of the pillar. If this wasn't the bottom of the lake but the sea, many people would think of the scene in Journey to the West when Sun Wukong took out the Divine Needle. However, this copper pillar was far from being as magical as the Divine Needle of Sea-Fixation. The exposed parts of the pillar were already rusted, and countless thumb-sized shells were still attached to the thick copper rust. These shells were stacked layer upon layer, many of them still alive. They were like scales attached to a copper pillar, gently flapping along with the flow of the water, as if the copper pillar had its own life and was breathing evenly in the water.

Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment before swimming towards the copper pillar. At this time, the water pressure on his body suddenly increased, and under the pressure, Zhou Heng opened his mouth, and a few bubbles popped out. That was because the air in his lungs had been squeezed out. Zhou Heng was in extreme pain. He opened his mouth wide in an attempt to suck in the lost air back into his body, but the only thing that could be inhaled was the ice-cold lake water. His hands continuously waved as he stomped his feet in the water. His body, however, could not help but sink down.

If not for the enhancement brought by the Heavenly Master System, Zhou Heng's body would have shriveled up quickly like a deflated balloon. But even so, as his body quickly fell in the water, the water pressure also continued to increase. Although Zhou Heng's body was robust, he simply did not have the time to adapt to the continuously changing water pressure. Even if he had the physique of a submersible vehicle, it was impossible for him to continue fighting in this situation.

Zhou Heng's life might end here.

Father, mother …

Zhou Heng's body kept sinking down, and at the same time, his vision became blurry. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and into the lake. His internal organs had been crushed.

A white shadow quickly slid down from above, that figure moving extremely quickly in the water, in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Zhou Heng.

Who is it?

Zhou Heng felt that a familiar person had approached him, but he couldn't remember who it was. The pain of drowning made it impossible for him to concentrate.

Some of the air was being transferred to him through his lips, while the air that was being transferred into Zhou Heng's body was being recovered at a fast pace.

"A foreign energy has been detected entering your body. Do you want to activate the defensive mode?" An ice-cold female voice sounded in Zhou Heng's mind.

Zhou Heng was unable to issue the command to resist, and the current him felt extremely comfortable. For the past three years, he had been wandering alone outside. It had been a long time since he felt this kind of warmth. Even if it was at the bottom of the lake, even if it was at the edge of life and death. Zhou Heng also hoped that this moment would last a little longer.

A warm, comfortable energy was being transmitted to him through the air. This energy was very similar to the energy used by Magi, but it was much purer. There was no trace of evil or repulsive aura about it.

This new energy, no matter if it was good or bad, would trigger the alarm system of the Heavenly Jewel Master System.

"A foreign energy has been detected entering your body. Do you want to activate the defensive mode?" The cold girl kept repeating this reminder in Zhou Heng's mind, as if she was urging Zhou Heng to make a decision quickly.

However, Zhou Heng had already closed his eyes slowly. Under the embrace of the white shadow, his body slowly sank down.

The flow of water gradually quieted down, and the surrounding air also sunk into a deathly silence. The white shadow and Zhou Heng embraced each other, and the two of them descended together. With the disappearance of the last of the light, they could feel nothing but the softness of their lips and the faint warmth of each other's bodies.

The surrounding temperature of the water also gradually dropped. Zhou Heng who was half asleep hugged the soft person in front of him, which was the only thing he could touch and hug in the water.

The white figure twisted her body as if trying to struggle free from Zhou Heng's embrace. But Zhou Heng hugged her even more tightly.

At this moment, the water suddenly moved, and a faint white light shone from afar. The twisting movement of the white shadow stopped.

The white light in the distance was getting bigger and brighter. Within the white light, there were a few black shadows. It was a lantern fish and a prince of the dragon race.

The white silhouette suddenly moved a few times, and broke free from Zhou Heng's embrace. Following that, the white shadow threw Zhou Heng down and quickly floated up.

"The change in the flow of the water allowed the princes of the dragon race to see what was happening over here." It's an intruder! " Someone shouted, and then three figures swam over to Zhou Heng at the same time.

Zhou Heng, who had lost the one in his embrace, also opened his eyes. Before he could even react to what had happened, a harpoon-like weapon had stabbed into his shoulder!
