However, to my surprise, the water grass actually floated in the water and slowly formed into a small ball of light.

The little ball was jumping in front of my eyes. I wanted to move forward, but it kept flying around, as if it was trying to stop me from moving forward.

Afterwards, I stood still and tried to probe the intentions of the small ball. I didn't expect the small ball to actually circle around me. The ball's speed was extremely fast. After spinning around three or four times, it suddenly brightened up and moved a few meters behind me.

I suddenly felt that something was amiss. Could it be that this little ball wanted to lead the way? But just now, it clearly intended to take my life! Did I misunderstand it from the start?

Although I don't really understand, but when I look at this big pond, the light is so dim that I can barely see anything. Things five to six meters away are already a mess, I can't see anything at all, and since this little ball wants to lead the way for me, then I might as well just follow it.

After thinking about this, I swam a few meters away from the ball. Even though the weather wasn't too cold yet, the water had already turned somewhat cold. My skin stuck closely to the cold water, making it ice-cold.

When Little Ball saw that I had caught up with him, he sped up his pace and so did I. Very quickly, a scene similar to a fake mountain appeared in front of me. It looked as though a famous Chinese garden was buried by the sea after passing by.

I put my hand on a rock and stopped. Swimming was more than running, I had to say, and it moved almost all the muscles in my body. And I myself do not love sports very much, so every year the result of sports is only in front of the pass.

It was a miracle for a man of my build to swim here and fight with aquatic plants.

I stopped to catch my breath. The little ball seemed to have a mind of its own, bouncing up and down on the spot, waiting for me.

However, not long after I stared at it, this small ball seemed to have suddenly gone berserk. It started to jump crazily in all directions, without any pattern!

I didn't know what was going on, so I reached out to it and tried to grab it.

Unexpectedly, this small ball unexpectedly dodged my outstretched hand and rushed towards my head. It was as if the viscous water didn't exist for it!

With the speed of this small ball, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to dodge it. Thus, I closed my eyes resigned to my fate and prayed repeatedly in my heart that the water resistance would take effect.

However, just as I closed my eyes, I suddenly heard a very soft sound by my ear. Following that, the small ball unexpectedly starts to gently hit my head.

I curiously opened my eyes and found that there was a water snake by my ear. It seemed to have my head hit by a small ball and was swaying left and right in confusion!

Only then did I realize that the little ball was trying to save my life!

I was so frightened that my legs gave out and I took two steps back, but I forgot that I was in the water. I didn't have anything to hold on to, so I just took a few steps in the water with my legs. As a result, his body slanted and fell towards one side.

At this moment, I had already regained some of my consciousness. I immediately extended my hand to grab a rock, stabilizing my body.

I stared fixedly at the water snake in front of me. It slowly opened its eyes and continuously flicked its tongue at me in the water. It seemed to have completely recovered.

I thought to myself, this water snake's movements in the water are definitely better than mine. It looks like I won't be able to escape! The only thing I can pray for now is that this snake is harmless!

I ignored the snake and didn't even have time to look at it. I followed the ball and began to swim with all my might, using the force of the stones to turn left and right in this place that looked like a rock thicket, trying to shake off the snake behind me.

It wasn't until I lost my strength again, or even my ability to move forward, that I stopped. I looked around for a while, but I couldn't find the snake, so I was relieved.

I used one hand to support the stone and leaned my entire body against another stone. Just when I was about to relax, I suddenly felt my arm go cold. That water snake actually crawled from my back to my back to crawl up my arm to in front of me!

It was the first time I had come into such close contact with a snake, and it kept sticking out its tongue at me like a provocation. Its long tongue almost touched the tip of my nose, and its grinning mouth seemed to be grinning at me!

Without realizing it, I raised my hand and grabbed the snake's head. Then my mind went blank, and I started to smash the snake against the stone, regardless of what happened to the snake in my hand.

I don't know how long it took until the ball started to spin around me, but then I slowly stopped. I still clenched my fist tightly, and when I lifted my hand, I found that the head of the snake had already been smashed by me. Even in the water, there was still a large amount of blood on the stone beside me.

If I had been a medical examiner, I would have known at a glance that the bloodstain was caused by repeated collisions.

As for the snake in my hand, only its body was left. Its head was smashed so hard that it couldn't be seen anymore.

Looking at the bloody mess in my hands, my entire body couldn't help but shiver. When I let go, the headless snake fell into the water and stopped moving.

The ball circled me a few times and then moved on.

Even though I was exhausted, I didn't dare to stay here. After all, I'm not too familiar with this place, and this kind of snake, if I were to obtain the first one, perhaps there would be a second and a third one.

I forced myself to take a deep breath and used both my hands to pluck at the rock before following the ball forward. I was starting to worry because I was following the ball from start to finish, especially in this stone forest. After going around aimlessly in the forest, I had long lost my way.

We walked on for a while longer, but it didn't seem like we were going very far, because under these circumstances I was having a hard time walking.

A very wide stone barrier suddenly appeared in front of me. I didn't know if this stone was naturally formed, but it was so square that I couldn't see its edge.

According to my calculations, the visibility of the water that I am currently in is about five meters. If I were to take my current location as the center, assuming that the area that this rock extends to is only five meters, then even if I were to reduce the visibility of the water, the flat area of this rock would be fifty square meters!

This could even be considered the cross-section of the foot of a mountain!

I raised my head to look at the ball. Unexpectedly, after a few rounds, the ball flew to my right side at an extremely fast speed and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

I was used to the company of the ball. It disappeared at once, and I was actually a little scared. I looked ahead for a moment and saw that I couldn't see the edge of the stone at all. How could this be a stone? It was clearly a stone wall! And it's a whole stone wall I've never heard of since ancient times

I didn't care that much and could only follow the direction the ball disappeared in, groping my way forward bit by bit. I thought, the water here should be connected, but it's impossible for this stone to completely separate the two sides of the water, right? So, even if I can't find my way, I can go a few meters upstream and step over this stone wall.

I was about ten meters to the right when I saw a hole in the stone wall! The diameter of the hole was less than a meter, barely enough for a person to pass through. I flicked my head towards the hole and saw that it looked no different from the outside. Naturally, I didn't see the figure of the ball.

I didn't hesitate any longer. Since there wasn't anything to be found here, I hardened my heart and pushed my leg through the hole. Then, my body slowly entered. In the end, I stuffed my head through the hole.

But when I came back from this hole, it was completely different from what I had seen just now!

I thought back to the scene I had just seen and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. I felt weak all over, so I had to lean my back against the wall to rest. I also had to take advantage of this time to think about what was going on in my head.

I couldn't figure it out, so I stuck my head back to look for the location of the ball. However, everything before me made me suddenly clear.

As I looked at the stone forest in front of me, I suddenly understood what was going on. The scene that I peeked my head in to see earlier wasn't the scene on this side but the mirror on the other side of the stone wall!

The strange feeling in my heart was like a loosened knot, suddenly untying itself.

At this moment, I had a vague feeling that there was something up ahead.

I squinted at it for a moment, thinking it was a huge shadow, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't even make out the outline of it.

Everything in the distance seemed to be lost in a gray fog, its outline intertwined with the darkness around it, so that if I looked at it from here, there was no outline at all.

On the other side of the stone wall was a large open space, so I could swim there without any obstacles and without too much effort.

There was no other way. I stopped looking for the ball and gathered up my courage to swim towards the suspicious shadow in front of me.

I kept comforting myself. Maybe it was just because it was too dark ahead that I was wrong. I also kept praying that everything at hand would be safe.

However, when I got closer, I was completely shocked – there was actually a huge wooden ancient building in front of me!
