While dealing with the occasional attacks of the red-armored ants, Ye Hongren was also able to hold his own against Wang Yan's entourage.

The current situation is extremely dire, and even someone as strong as Ye Hongren cannot cope with it.

Surrounded by hundreds of level-three magical beasts, the Crimson-Armored Ants, was Ren Chao, who was neither human nor ghost and whose strength had increased for some unknown reason, as well as a close attendant of a direct descendant of a powerful family, whose strength was probably at level five.

Han Qianfei was only slightly stronger than the Red-Armored Ant, placing him second to last in strength across the entire battle, seemingly with no reason to survive.

Ren Chao had already bypassed the numerous red-armored ants and was approaching Han Qianfei, leaving a long trail of black smoke behind him.

Ye Hongren wanted to stop Ren Chao, but his attempts were repeatedly seen through by his entourage, and he was unable to break free.

Han Qianfei kept moving his body to dodge the fireballs launched by the red-armored ants. Suddenly, his body moved a fraction of a second too slowly, and his arm was slashed open.

This was even with his body already enhanced. If it were an ordinary person, their arm would probably be smashed into a bloody mist the moment they made contact with the red-armored ant's mouthparts.

Ren Chao arrived, a ferocious smile on his face. He was very satisfied and determined to win.

Without needing many fancy moves, a level four warrior's strength is enough to crush Han Qianfei.

Han Qianfei dodged at his maximum speed, but his shoulder was still hit, and he was sent flying backward instantly. His left arm was limp and completely numb.

Han Qianfei fell into the lake.

The lake was very deep, and Han Qianfei kept sinking. He saw Ren Chao follow him down, and they would float back up once they reached a certain depth.

Han Qianfei felt enveloped by water elements, which made him feel very comfortable and at ease. He sensed that he could draw a small amount of oxygen from the lake water, which, while not enough for normal breathing, allowed him to stay underwater for longer than the average person.

Perhaps this is the advantage of water-based mages. This is also why Ren Chao gave up the pursuit when he saw that the lake was very deep.

He roughly estimated that he could stay underwater for about ten minutes. Ren Chao would definitely be waiting above. Hiding underwater would be like drinking poison to quench his thirst; he would eventually have to face him.

Han Qianfei's mind raced as he tried to think of a solution, while he continued to fall. Two minutes later, Han Qianfei was plunged into complete darkness, where no light could penetrate.

Four minutes later, Han Qianfei saw Lan Yingying's light again; the light was coming from below.

Five minutes passed, and Han Qianfei had no idea what depth he had reached; he could see the bottom of the lake.

The scene at the bottom of the lake is like a dream, fantastic and beautiful. Plants that look like willow trees grow in the soil, and every leaf shimmers with blue light, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The concentration of water elements here is extremely high; the entire space seems to be filled with water elements.

Han Qianfei landed at the bottom of the lake, and under the blue fluorescent light, he saw the yellow earth!

The lake's geology is loess.

Fortunately, Han Qianfei hadn't had time to put his backpack down. He opened it, took out the magic core and magic crystal, and quickly placed them in their proper positions.

He had been down there for eight minutes, and the oxygen level in his body had dropped very low. He felt waves of dizziness washing over him.

He shook his head underwater, quickly scooped up a handful of yellow soil, connected the magic core and magic crystal, and then stood in the center of the formation.

Mental energy triggers the upgrade of the formation, the formation is activated, and the power of the Crimson Ant Demon Core flows along the loess.

Become!

Han Qianfei thought to himself: There's always a way out.

Just as the red magic completely filled the entire formation and surged towards Han Qianfei, he suddenly saw a large amount of water element rushing over. Water and fire met and neutralized each other.

The red energy could not leave the formation even an inch; it was immediately neutralized by the water element as soon as it tried to leave.

Han Qianfei guessed the reason: the four magic cores belonged to the Crimson Armor Ants and were of the fire element. In an environment with such a high concentration of water elements, they could not function.

Han Qianfei had been down there for ten minutes. He couldn't breathe and was relying entirely on his skin to absorb oxygen from his surroundings. At this point, his oxygen levels were severely depleted, his lungs felt like they were about to explode, and he was seeing stars in front of his eyes.

It was too late. Even if he wanted to float to the surface now, it would be too late. He would definitely die on the way. He relaxed and lay down at the bottom of the lake.

Let's end it here, in this dreamlike lakebed.

Ren Chao stood by the lake, staring blankly at the water, his stubbornness evident as he determined to find Han Qianfei alive or dead. He didn't believe Han Qianfei could hide in the lake forever.

Ye Hongren was already in despair. Han Qianfei was probably dead, and she knew she couldn't survive either. She knew Han Qianfei's way of doing things all too well.

For a moment, Ye Hongren's attacks were exceptionally fierce, forcing the attendants to take them seriously.

Just now, Ye Hongren wanted to leave, but her attendants held her back. Now, the attendants felt that their mission was complete, the guy who bothered the young master was dead, and he could leave. However, Ye Hongren's fighting style seemed to be one of mutual destruction, so he had to be cautious.

Han Qianfei lay at the bottom of the lake, watching the blue water elements fly out from the leaves and then float aimlessly.

He thought, "That tree is really amazing. It can grow underwater and produce water elements. This other world is really interesting. It's a pity that I can't continue exploring it."

As if guided by some unseen force, he used his mental power to control the movement of water elements and then plucked a leaf.

The leaf came into view, and he touched it with his hand. Unlike leaves on land, this leaf was very hard, as hard as a magic core.

Han Qianfei was slightly taken aback. Was he going to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless?

He placed the leaf beside him where the Crimson Ant Demon Core had been, which had been completely eroded by the water element.

He then controlled the water element to pluck three more leaves and used his last bit of strength to place them in their corresponding positions.

At the last moment, he used his mental power to activate the upgrade array, but before he could see the array working, he was plunged into complete darkness and lost consciousness.

At the bottom of the silent, magnificent, and mysterious lake, a level-three magic array operates alone, transforming water elements into power to help humanity break through.

This force kept flowing into Han Qianfei's brain.

The water element around Han Qianfei became very active, bouncing and jumping around him.

As the light subsided, Han Qianfei opened his eyes instantly. He no longer felt short of breath, and the burning sensation in his lungs disappeared.

He felt a strange sense of familiarity with the water elements around him. If in the past he controlled the water elements by moving them with his strength, now the water elements were willing to move according to his will.

His perception of water also changed; he felt as if he could control the flow of water.

It is water, not the element of water.

Is this level three? He easily overcame the first difficult hurdle.

The strength has indeed undergone a qualitative change.

It must be the effect of that sudden enlightenment last time. It's just a pity that I haven't been able to enter a state of ethereal meditation since then.

Suddenly, Han Qianfei felt a tightness in his heart; something was watching him!

He didn't even have the courage to search; his first priority was to control the water flow and send him to the lake.

After he left, a small crab crawled out of the mud, picked up a leaf, and started eating it.
