Then, as the Great Snake fled instinctively, Zhang Chen was uncertain how long they had been escaping when suddenly everything quieted down. He activated the Water Control Technique to sense the outside, and was taken aback: "Huh, where is the underground lake?"
After sensing the outside, Zhang Chen discovered that the water of the underground lake had vanished without a trace.
Quickly, he employed the Beast Taming Technique, directing the python to release him outside. Looking up, he saw the large sun in the sky shining down, its rays refracted through the ice into his eyes.
Through the ice, observing the blurred sun in the sky, two thoughts emerged in Zhang Chen's mind. The first thought was:
"Am I out?"
Then the second thought: "How did I get out? Could it be that old dog Zhang Shicheng found me and fished me out?"
The third thought: "What should I do? Should I escape immediately?"
