On the shore, everyone's heart went cold. Even the hope that had just been kindled was extinguished in an instant.
Although Xia Liang was moving quickly, it was common knowledge that once a person in the water stops struggling and begins to sink, their descent is incredibly fast. Coupled with the water pressure and the lake being over ten meters deep, Xia Liang wouldn't be able to rescue the girl in time, no matter how fast he was.
Moreover, he was still ten meters away from where she had fallen in.
Those ten meters were not to be underestimated. While it might only take Xia Liang seven or eight seconds to cover that distance, the girl could sink several meters in that same time.
And who even knew if Xia Liang could swim? If he couldn't, wouldn't this all be for nothing?
