Everyone hurried over to ask what had happened, each of them showing concern.
Zhou Heng gave them a faint smile to show that he was fine, but his mind was already racing.
He could not rule out the possibility of such a coincidence—that just as he, Black Donkey, and Little Flame passed by, the ice suddenly collapsed. But Zhou Heng was more inclined to believe that someone had deliberately shattered the ice to kill him!
The seven people walking ahead of him all had the ability to do that, and thus all were suspects.
Jin Haochen was naturally the prime suspect, but the others could not be ruled out. Precisely because Jin Haochen was the most suspicious, someone could have framed him to clear themselves of suspicion.
Zhou Heng only treated this incident as an accident for now, but vigilance had already risen in his heart.
He really had been careless before. To others, this place was a forbidden land, a land of death, but with the Fire God Furnace balancing cold against heat, it was nothing much to Zhou Heng.
Even if he truly fell into the sea, the Fire God Furnace could immediately release heat and shield him from the invading cold.
He could not help regretting that he should have stopped Black Donkey from acting earlier. If everyone had believed he had died beneath the sea, he could have followed them in secret and surely uncovered some clue.
He could only wait for the next chance!
