Stubborn Bo Luo

Caught off guard, Ronan instinctively panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. Basically, the hardest deaths for him to encounter right now were being electrocuted or drowning.

Of course, the worst ways for him to die might also be electrocution or drowning...

Then Ronan saw that the front end of the stalagmite where it had collided with the boat had somehow split open. Torrents of water were pouring inside, with flickering sparks flashing within. But they soon went out.
