Luo Nian actually knew that there was no way back. He had only asked because he was frightened.
Elder Xue said nothing, watching the grayish things in the Water Body.
He truly had never imagined that something like this would exist at the twentieth-zhang mark of Leviata. Yet at this moment, his heart was unusually calm.
