While Chen Ke was slacking off, the blood pool under his feet started to boil, yet it wasn't caused by An Helei's ashes, as Chen Ke had already gathered them.
He looked up, only to find that the circular exit above had completely disappeared. Darkness surrounded him, and he felt the walls slowly closing in on him.
This intense oppression made him very uncomfortable. Accompanied by the gurgling sound of flowing water, the liquid beneath Chen Ke's feet kept rising.
It wasn't just rising. Chen Ke smelled an unpleasant odor, similar to some sort of acid.
"This... corrosive liquid..." Chen Ke felt a sudden sharp pain in his feet as his bones and muscles slowly dissolved in the liquid.
He waded through the water towards a direction, hoping to find a door or something else, even a wall. He intended to break it to figure out a way to escape.
