The passage leading down to the Perpetual Spring, although fairly spacious, could only accommodate two people walking side by side, preventing Veronia from erecting a complete barrier against the groundwater.
Xiao Ji regretted a bit upon entering the water with Feng Yuan; the icy underground water felt very uncomfortable. Feng Yuan continuously monitored Xiao Ji's condition, and seeing this, he helplessly gave its head a gentle pat, indicating it could wait above, but Xiao Ji refused.
Seeing its stubbornness, Feng Yuan was just as helpless. Veronia, at the front of the group, didn't notice Feng Yuan's situation. The underwater environment was dim, and Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan could barely manage themselves. Unfortunately, even with everyone's attention, by the time they reached the hall below the Perpetual Spring, Veronia frustratingly realized they had gotten separated.
If Feng Yuan really had something wrong, he would have alerted her. Could there be an issue with the passage?
