The firm light in the eyes of the man in black illuminated the road ahead, and Shu Zhihan was a little anxious to know what was waiting for him in front of him.
She followed the steps of the man in black, step by step. The aura around her became more and more damp, as if it was about to drown her out.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of water ahead, as if something was moving. xь.
The man in black instantly became vigilant, he held Shu Zhihan's hand tightly, and motioned for her not to make a sound.

The man in black had a firm look in his eyes and walked forward without hesitation. Shu Zhihan followed, full of anticipation and nervousness.
They continued to walk forward for a while, and the man in black suddenly motioned for Shu Zhihan to stop.
Shu Zhihan obediently stopped, her heart full of curiosity.
The man in black crouched down and listened intently to the movements around him.
Shu Zhihan also squatted down, trying to find a clue from the darkness.
There was silence all around, only the sound of their own breathing echoing in the air. However, Shu Zhihan could feel the tense nerves of the man in black, and he seemed to be waiting for something.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of water ahead, as if something was approaching. The man in black instantly became vigilant, he held Shu Zhihan's hand tightly, and motioned for her not to make a sound.
Shu Zhihan followed forward and found that the road ahead was getting wider and wider, like a piece of water.
She could feel the ground softening beneath her feet, as if she were stepping on wet grass.
She followed closely behind the man in black, not daring to speak easily.
The man in black stopped, he crouched down and lightly touched the ground with his hand.
Shu Zhihan looked at his movements, a little curious.
The man in black looked back at Shu Zhihan, his eyes flashing with vigilance.
He motioned for Shu Zhihan to remain silent, and he continued to explore.
Shu Zhihan followed closely behind him, a little nervous in her heart.
They continued on their way for a while, when suddenly, there was a sound of water ahead, as if something was approaching.

side, try not to make any noise.
At this moment, there was a sound of water ahead, getting louder and louder, as if something was approaching.
Shu Zhihan didn't understand why this place was guarded, could it be that there was a big secret here?
Just as she was wondering, the man in black had already stepped forward, and he fought with a soldier in armor.
Shu Zhihan leaned against the wall and saw two figures staggered in the darkness, sometimes colliding and sometimes separating.
Her heartbeat echoed in the darkness, she didn't know if the man in black would be able to defeat the soldier, she just knew that she couldn't sit idly by.
Suddenly, the man in black threw the soldier to the ground with a roundabout kick. The soldier fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
The man in black didn't stop, he quickly took Shu Zhihan and continued to move forward.
Just when Shu Zhihan was panicked, he felt that he was pulled by the man in black and jumped into the water.
With a "poof", water splashed, and the cold liquid instantly soaked Shu Zhihan's clothes.
She exclaimed, subconsciously wanting to struggle, but was tightly held in the arms of the man in black, and the warm feeling came instantly.
Shu Zhihan closed her eyes, not daring to look at the darkness ahead, and could only rely on the guidance of the man in black.
However, even in the dark, she could feel the firmness and depth in the eyes of the man in black.
His eyes were like stars in the night sky, twinkling and illuminating the path ahead.
They soon reached the bottom of the water, and Shu Zhihan looked at it intently, and couldn't help but be stunned by the underwater scene.
Underwater, a huge palace comes into view, which appears to have been built of an unknown transparent material that emits a faint glow. Around the palace, all kinds of strange sea creatures grow, they swim around the palace, as if guarding this mysterious place.
The man in black took Shu Zhihan through the gate of the palace and came to the inside of the palace.
The interior of the palace is even more spectacular than the outside, crisscrossed by countless transparent pipes, as if it were a huge living entity.
The man in black continued to walk with Shu Zhihan, and they passed through countless passages until they finally came to a spacious room.
Shu Zhihan thought for a moment that she was in a dream.
"Who?" A female voice came from behind them.
Shu Zhihan and the man in black quickly turned their heads, only to see a woman in a white robe appear behind them, her face wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.
"Let's ......" Shu Zhihan was about to explain, but was interrupted by the man in black.
The woman was silent for a moment, her eyes glinting with curiosity, "How did you find here?"
"It's a secret." The man in black said mysteriously.
The woman looked at them, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth: "Since you're here, let's stay."
The man in black stepped forward and said directly, "She is Master Shu's daughter, Shu Zhihan."
Shu Zhihan looked at the man in black with some surprise, as if she didn't expect him to say it so directly.
When the woman heard the man in black's words, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She looked at Shu Zhihan, as if she was looking at her carefully.
Shu Zhihan stood there a little nervously, not knowing how the woman would react.
The woman was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly, "I see, I see."
Shu Zhihan looked at the woman in front of her, although she was wearing a mask, but her eyes revealed a trace of enthusiasm.
She seemed to see a familiar person, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in her heart.
"Nice to meet you." The woman said with a smile.
"Me too." Shu Zhihan also responded with a smile.
The woman looked at Shu Zhihan, and her eyes revealed a strange light.
She seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment, she turned and left the room.
Shu Zhihan looked at her departing back, and an inexplicable expectation surged in her heart.
She didn't know what she was going to face, but she knew she had stepped into a mysterious world.
Shu Zhihan looked at him, and a wave of doubt surged in her heart.
She suddenly felt that she didn't know the man in black, and he seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets.
"What the hell is going on?" Shu Zhihan asked.
The man in black didn't answer, he just stood there in silence, as if thinking about something.
Shu Zhihan looked at him with some disappointment in her heart.
She felt that the man in black didn't seem willing to tell her the truth, and she didn't know if she should continue to ask.
However, just as she hesitated, the man in black suddenly turned to look at her, his eyes flashing with determination.
He said slowly, "Everything you need to know is here."
His voice was low, but powerful.
Shu Zhihan was stunned, she didn't expect the man in black to say this.
She looked at him, her heart full of doubts and anticipation.
The man in black just said a few words and left the room.
Shu Zhihan stood there, and an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.
She didn't know what the man in black meant.
She turned to look out the window and looked at the palace underwater, her heart full of anticipation and curiosity.
Her mind began to wonder who the woman was and how she could be here.
Her mind began to imagine the past of this underwater palace.
Why is there such an underwater palace under the palace?
What secrets does this palace hide?
Shu Zhihan began to imagine all kinds of strange scenes that might exist in the palace.
She began to imagine who the woman was and why she was here.
Shu Zhihan is immersed in her own imagination, as if she is in a mysterious world.
All the doubts seemed to come over her in an instant, and she desperately wanted to know the answers, but no one seemed to be able to explain them to her.
She looked at the emptiness around her, and she was the only one standing there.
Shu Zhihan began to carefully look at all this in front of her, as if she was in a dream, thinking that even if it was written in a book, maybe it would not be convincing.
She looked forward to the door in front of her being opened, thinking that someone would be able to come in and at least tell her some doubts about the sight.
