The leader sensed something unusual; it was impossible for anyone to not struggle to escape in such an oxygen-deprived condition.
He suspected that Lin Beichen might already be dead!
He pointed a finger, signaling for one of his men to go forward and probe.
The man who was pointed at swam over, holding a long knife, ready to stab Lin Beichen's leg.
At that moment, Lin Beichen opened his eyes.
A light orb appeared in his hand. Even underwater, its glow, wrapped in purple flames, was conspicuous.
Everyone's gaze was fixated on the light orb in Lin Beichen's hand, especially the man who had approached him closely, causing him to halt his actions and lean in for a closer look.
In the next instant, he regretted it!
His entire body suddenly straightened, twitched a few times, then went completely still and sank slowly to the bottom of the lake, unresponsive.
The others stared in confusion at their partner sinking to the lake floor, uncertain about what just happened.
