"Our boat is moving." Murong Han stared fixedly at their boat, making a certain-sounding yet puzzled remark. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Jiang Xue explained, "It’s not the boat that’s moving, it’s the lake water inside the Array that’s sliding. This Array really is exquisitely ingenious. I have no idea how those master craftsmen created it. Could there be some mechanism at the bottom of the lake?"

After speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to jump into the sea, scaring Shui Yixuan into grabbing her wrist: "What are you doing?"

"I’m going down to take a look, study it, see if there’s a breakthrough point."

Shui Yixuan refused: "With the two of us here, how could it possibly come to your turn? Soaking in seawater all day was already a last resort; a young lady shouldn’t take in too much chill."

As he spoke, he took off his heavy outer robe and jumped in. Murong Han naturally refused to fall behind, also taking off his outer robe and diving straight into the sea with one Mengzi.

In fact, Jiang Xue very much wanted to go down and see. Just reading Poison Doctor Unrivaled could definitely not compare with the scene unfolding before her eyes.

So, she did not listen to Shui Yixuan and obediently stay on the boat, but cheerfully jumped down. When the icy seawater wrapped around her body and the pressure of the surrounding water attacked from all sides, she instinctively held her breath, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and only when her body had gradually floated to a certain depth did she slowly open her eyes to search for those two.

They had Inner Strength protecting their bodies, so they could definitely last longer underwater than she could, while when she needed to breathe, she could secretly slip into the space to take a breath and they wouldn’t notice, because at this very moment the two of them were already darting up and down inside the water Array, facing all kinds of offensive formations.

Under their strenuous assault, the Array gradually fell into a disadvantage. Just when she thought victory was already in the bag and she wouldn’t need to go in, four or five black‑clothed men suddenly shot out from who‑knows‑where. Even holding long swords in the water, these men could move as if walking on flat ground, and each of them had formidable martial arts. The moment they made a move there was killing intent, and she could vaguely see black liquid spraying from their hands—it was actually a poison attack?

Fortunately, Shui Yixuan still remembered Grandpa Shui’s words and did not harbor killing intent. No matter what they did to him, he only acted in self‑defense and did not launch any attacks. After the Poison Liquid dyed this area black, the breath the two of them had been holding was already almost at its limit. If they were to get injured during this time, it would be no different from Blood Sealing Throat.

Jiang Xue was a bit anxious, not knowing what kind of poison that was, or whether it would be fatal. If they really were poisoned, would she have enough time to save them?

She was standing outside the Array, so no matter how those people attacked, they did not involve her, which just happened to give her a chance to catch her breath.

In the end, they really couldn’t hold on anymore. Before their strength was completely exhausted, the two of them quickly withdrew from the Array and floated up.

Seeing them surface, Jiang Xue followed right after. Her originally white inner garment had, after getting on the boat, actually turned black. Someone who didn’t know better would think she’d gotten splashed with crude oil!

"Are you two okay?" As she spoke, she hurriedly crouched down to check on them. After not seeing any obvious wounds, she immediately fed each of them a Detoxification Pill. "I don’t know what poison it is, but this Detoxification Pill was refined by me from one hundred and eight kinds of Medicinal materials based on different toxicities. You two, give it a try!"

The two of them were still gasping for breath and couldn’t afford to think too much. They opened their mouths and swallowed it, then sat cross‑legged to regulate their breathing.

At that moment, the hull collided with something again, as if some heavy object was ramming their boat. Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes and stared carefully beneath the boat. One look, and it scared her half to death. That black shadow was enormous, not at all human‑shaped. After she took a closer look, her vision almost went dark.

"My dear brothers, they can even release whales now? This operation is beyond inhuman!"

Whale?

The two of them often roamed all over the place and naturally knew what a whale was. Being targeted by this thing, their situation was not looking good!

Continuous impacts caused cracks to appear in the boat. Shui Yixuan and Murong Han knew full well that this couldn’t go on. They grabbed their swords, intending to go down and fight it out, but were pressed back by Jiang Xue.

"Don’t. They’re just testing us. We can’t hurt them."

In the end, all three of them were rammed into the sea by this whale. Just when they thought they were about to have a life‑and‑death underwater battle with it, the whale was suddenly summoned away by some strange sound.

Looking at the rickety wooden boat in front of them, then at the now empty water below, they were just about to breathe a sigh of relief and climb aboard when a sudden "buzz buzz buzz" sound came, seemingly accompanied by a strong, pungent fragrance. The sound was familiar, but the scent was very strange. She raised her head to carefully search for the source, and behind clumps of red smoke there turned out to be tens of thousands of Murder Bees. Although they weren’t the same species as her Emperor Bees, they were also a breed that carried deadly poison.
