"What's going on here?" Gu Sheng stared at the well with a mix of shock and doubt. He could sense that some kind of formidable power seemed to be hidden within it.
The Yaochi Saintess' eyes also flickered with curiosity and caution. "There must be something strange about this well. Perhaps it has something to do with the Mystical Sky Sword we're looking for."
Gu Sheng nodded, took a deep breath, and decided to venture down to investigate. "I'll go down and take a look. You stay here and wait for me."
"Be careful," the Yaochi Saintess urged.
Gu Sheng slowly descended along the well's wall as the surrounding temperature gradually dropped. A chilling air rushed toward him. The deeper he went, the air seemed frozen, making breathing increasingly challenging.
"Hiss—" Gu Sheng could hear his own breath echoing through the eerie silence of the well.
