Li Banfeng had been thinking about the Oil Pot and hadn't expected that just by stepping outside, he would end up in Oil Lake.
How did an Oil Lake appear?
Wasn't I at Xiaoyao Lodge? How did I end up here?
Some shimmering waves were visible on the lake's surface, but no stars could be seen in the night sky.
Is this the New Land?
Or is it the Old Land?
Oil offers little buoyancy and has high viscosity, making swimming through it very strenuous.
Li Banfeng looked at the distance to the shore; it seemed far away. He then quickly glanced at a small island in the middle of the lake, less than a hundred meters from him.
Logically, he should swim towards the shore.
But after swimming just a few meters towards the shore, Li Banfeng felt that something was off; it seemed as if some creature in the Oil Lake had set its sights on him.
No matter what type of creature it was, a confrontation in the Oil Lake meant Li Banfeng would likely be at a disadvantage.
