Shang didn't know how long he remained here, and he didn't care.

The stillness of the water around him soothed his mind, and he felt like being here was the right thing to do. He didn't know why, but that was what he felt.

After an unknown amount of time, Shang opened his right eye again.

He felt like he knew the lake better now.

'I should continue,' he thought.

Then, Shang continued descending.

Why was he descending?

There was a reason for it.

After another two minutes, Shang felt something other than water touch him.

He extended his hands and felt the sand.

'Finally,' he thought.

'I'm probably over 1.5 kilometers deep in the lake, but I only feel sand now.'

Shang was sure that the lake had to have a deepest point, and he was also sure that the deepest part would not be that close to the border of the Zone.

The deepest part of the lake would be the most dangerous part, and Shang didn't want to enter that part.

However, Shang also didn't want to leave the Tide Serpent Zone. The Tide Serpent apparently didn't really care about Shang, while other Zone Beasts might care a lot about him, which would be bad.

If Shang decided to dig into the earth right near the edge, the Plague Rat might decide that Shang was inside its Zone again.

Because of that, Shang had swum downward. Right now, he was about 50 meters away from the border, which meant that if he were to dig into the wall now, he would definitely still be inside the Tide Serpent Zone.

Shang's hands felt the sand, and he noticed that it was a steep wall instead of a floor.
