Swimming close to the child, Mu Qiancheng extended his large hand, wrapping it around the child's waist, then half-carrying him towards the water's surface.
However, Mu Qiancheng, focused solely on the child, completely missed the fact that behind them, a monstrous creature lay deep at the bottom of the lake.
Resembling both a snake and a turtle, it looked quite bizarre. At the moment Mu Qiancheng was lifting the child towards the surface, the creature, which had its eyes closed, suddenly opened them, staring at Mu Qiancheng and the child in his arms.
Mu Qiancheng, with the child, quickly surfaced and swam towards the shore where Jiang Xue and the others were waiting.
At this moment, the Little Fox in the space sensed the commotion in the water and once again warned Jiang Xue, saying, "Woman, that thing has awakened, tell your man to speed up. Otherwise, if it surfaces, not only will your man and the child be in danger, but even the people on the shore may not be spared.
