Gu Sheng observed the surroundings and realized that they seemed to have arrived at a spacious area.
It was no longer within the narrow confines of the dark river but rather a broad space resembling the lakebed.
The waterflow here was not as turbulent, and the surrounding visibility had become clearer, though the pressure had significantly increased.
He noticed massive stone pillars around them, resembling supports for the entire subterranean world.
Between the pillars, faint shadows of strange creatures could be seen swimming.
The girl in purple also took note of the change in their environment, a trace of excitement flashing through her eyes.
"It seems we might have hope here. This could be a meeting point for the dark river and maybe a way to the surface."
"Hmm."
Gu Sheng nodded and began searching the lakebed for a possible exit.
At the same time, a sly glint appeared in the girl's eyes.
"Hey, can you untie me now? That way, we can find the exit more quickly."
